RKJGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF GEORGE WASHIXGTOX LEXNARD.
COLONEL 57Tn INFANTRY RECU.MEXT. INDIANA VOLUNTEERS.
Colonel George Washington Lennard. the subject of this sketch, was born
near Newark, Licking Coimty, Ohio, March 5, 1825. Deprived by circumstances
of early educational advantages, he reached the age of sixteen years without
having learned to read or write. By determined energ)', which so highly char-
acterized him in later life, he made such use of his meager opportunities that in
1847 li^ ^^'^^ prepared to commence the study of medicine, a profession to which
he then expected to devote his life. In March. 1850, he received the degree of
Doctor of Medicine from the Eclectic Medical Institute of ^ledicine of Cincinnati.
He located at Xew Castle in 185 1, to engage in the practice of his profession.
Though young in years he became from the first a successful physician. He
soon discovered that the practice of medicine did not open to him the field in
which to gratify his ambition so he retired from it at the expiration of two years,
and purchased the New Castle Courier office, and was connected with this paper
as editor and publisher for some eighteen months. He next studied law and
graduated with honor at the law school of Cincinnati, in 1855. In this profession
he became a successful practitioner. He was married June 10, 1852, at the
residence, in Xew Castle, of Samuel and Vienna (Woodward) Hazzard.
parents of the author of this History, to Miss Clarinda Woodward, a noble
lady, youngest child of Asahel and Catharine Woodward, the first white
settlers of Henry County. She was a sister of Mrs. Samuel Hazzard. Ini8C)i.
when the tocsin of war sounded through the land, he was one of the first to
respond, and his energy and influence were thrown at once into the cause and
his labors from that time forth were earnest and untiring in behalf of his country.
He was among the first to volunteer as a private soldier. On the organization nf
Company C, Thirty Sixth Regiment, he was elected its First Lieutenant, from
which position before the company was mustered into service, he was called Ui
the Adjutancy of the regiment. His gentlemanly bearing, proni])! attentinn to
duties and fine soldierly qualities soon attracted the attention t)f his superior
officers, and he was tendered by General Thomas J. Wood, a position on his stalT
with the rank of Captain which was accepted, and for some time filled with such
a degree of credit as won for him the unanimous and hearty encomiums of his
brother officers. Because of his prompt and manly discharge of every duty.
Governor Morton. December 2, 1862. gave him a commission as Colonel and
assigned him to the Fifty Seventh Regiment. In all the varied and responsible
positions to which he was assigned, his career illustrated the highest type of our
citizen soldiery. His duties were performed with skill, bravery and success. In
all the engagements in which his regiment participated he was conspicuous for
his gallant bearing and was highly complimented. At the battle of Stone's
River. December 31, 1862, he was severely wounded in the right leg by a
musket shot which resulted in a tedious confinement, but from which he afterward
sufficiently recovered to rejoin his regiment. He afterward led his gallant regi-
ment in the hard-fought battles of Missionary Ridge. Rocky Face Ridge
and Resaca. At the battle of Resaca, Way 14, 1864, he was struck

HAZZARDS HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY. U7,~
l)v a shell which shattered his ris;ht knee anil int^icted a shock from which
his system never rallied. Ashury L. Kerwood, one of his soldiers, in a well-
written history of the regiment, gives the following account of his death :
"death of colonel llnnaud."
"There were probably few officers connected with the army who were more
solicitous or took a deeper interest in every movement in which their command
should participate than did Colonel Lennard. Immediatel\- after the last change
of position, the Colonel advanced to the open ground in front, dismounted, and
was engaged for several minutes in conversation with General Newton and other
officers, concerning the disposition of the regiment. The consultation over, he
turned to go back to the regiment; and just as he was in the act of mounting his
horse a shell from the enemy passed through his right knee, shattering it to
pieces and mangling it horribly. The horse, much frightened, dashed on toward
the regiment, and in a few moments a pair of stretchers were provided on which
to bear away the body of the Colonel. Gloom and sadness took possession of
every man as he was borne back to take his farewell of the men who had almost
learned to love him. 'Now, take good care of the boys. Major," were the last
words he ever said in hearing of the command. General Wagner, when he heard
of the fall of the Colonel, was deeply moved, and was afterwards heard to sav
he had lost his best man. Soon afterward the Colonel was carried to a house
three-quarters of a mile in the rear, and a member of- the regiment, Sergeant \\'.
W. Sims, remained with him until after his death.
"At his own request a pallet was laid on the floor, and on that he was placed.
The wound produced a wonderful shock on his system, and as yet there was no
reaction. From the first he seemed to realize his true situation, and when in
conversation with the surgeons spoke coolly and calmly of his wound. He was
anxious that amputation should take place just as soon as the system revived.
Several hours elapsed from the time he was wounded until the attending surgeon
discovered that instead of reviving he was growing weaker. In the meantime
he was engaged in conversation on various subjects. He spoke of his experience
in the army, and especially since he becatne connected with the regiment ; of a con-
versation he had with ( a-iKral W'liipple about the campaign, and his reply that the
enemy would be very oljstinalc. '.rhen his thoughts would turn toward his family.
He requested that his wife might be sent for to come and take care of him :
wondering if his little children would always be good children. He spoke of the
tender aft'ection which always existed between him and his companion, and
talked only as a brave man could, who was so near the hour of dissolution.
"Night was now fast approaching, and a fire of pine knots was kindled on
the hearth; About 7 o'clock the surgeons informed the Sergeant that the Colonel
would probably never revive; that he was even then sinking; and that he had
better speak to him of his danger. "Wlien told that he could hardly survive, and
that he might die at any moment, his pale features lighted up with a smile as he
calmly said, 'What, so soon ?' Continuing, he said : 'It is necessary for me to make
the sacrifice, and I make it cheerfully, though here I am in Georgia, away from my
pleasant home, away from my wife and dear little children. Tonight thev don't
know that I am dying by the fire of these pine knots.'
638 hazzard's history of henry county.
■'He had given up his regiment. Now he gave up his family, and began to
talk of the solemn realities of death. He remarked that he was never a believer
in death-bed repentance, and that it was the duty of every one to prepare for
death in time of health. One of the surgeons, a pious man, prayed with him, and
told liim that Jesus died to save him and would hear his prayer. Up to the last
moment, the colonel contiiuied to speak of his soul's salvation, and entreated those
around him to not postpone the greatest duty of their lives. Before he died, he
gave evidence to those around him that he was willing to go, and that he should
pass from labor to reward. To the last he was calm and collected. Even the
terrors of death did not move him. and he met the grim monster without a shudder.
Noble man ! Green in our memory will be the remembrance of his name.
Encomiums we need not add. We have dropped the tear of sorrow at his untimely
death, and we wait in hope of meeting him in a better land. Peace to the ashes
of George W. Lennard."
Kind, courteous, and affable with all — one of Nature's own gentlemen. Never
was man more popular among his neighbors and acquaintances than was Colonel
Lennard. His friends were warmly attached to him and no man ever lived in
Henry County who made a deeper impression upon her people, or whose death
wa.s more sincerely mourned. He was about five feet and ten inches in height, well
proportioned, always appropriately appareled, dark hair, dark gray eyes — a hand-
some man. Just prior to his death he had been nominated to the State Senate and
it was confidently predicted by those who knew him that he would have been
transferred from the Senate to a seat in Congress. Hallowed indeed must be the
cause which demands the sacrifice of such noble men. It is to be hoped that God
in his infinite mercies will never again permit the day to come when our common
country shall be divided, section against section, in terrible war. His widow
remained single and died of brain fever at her home in New Castle, June i. 1879.
highly respected and loved by all who knew her.
HENRY RUDISEL LENNARD.
(Son.)
Henry Rudisel Lennard, the eldest son of Colonel George W. and Mrs.
Clarinda (Woodward) Lennard, was born in New Castle, Henry County, Indiana.
August 14, 1853. He was a bright, intelligent youth, possessed of excellent .social
qualities, who enjoyed the society of his friends and was always full, even to
running over, with good humor. He was educated in the public schools of New-
Castle, and afterwards attended Kentucky University at Lexington, in that State,
and Michigan University at Ann Arbor, Michigan.
After completing his education, he took up the study of the law in 1876. at
New Castle, having for his preceptor, Judge Joshua H. Mellett, who was never
more pleased than when he had under his charge some young man preparing to
enter the legal profession. Young Lennard continued to study law during the
following two years (1877-78) and was afterwards admitted to the Henry County
Bar before Judge Robert L. Polk, presiding judge of the Henry County Circuit
Court. He practiced his chosen profession in New Castle for a short time and
then turned his attention to mercantile and manufacturing pursuits, which he
has since followed, except for a period of several months when he was in the

Henry Rudisel Leonard and Letta Gordon, daughter of Milton J!, and Sophia
(iordon, were married at Metamora, Franklin County. Indiana. January 7, 1880.
The parents of Mrs. Leonard are old jiioneer residents of Metamora, and the
family is probably the most prominent in Franklin County. Mrs. Letta (Gordon)
Lennard was born at Metamora and was educated in the public schools of that
])lacc and at Asbury. now De Pauw, L'niversity. (kcencastle. Indiana. After
their marriage, [Mr. and Mrs. Lennard resided in X'ew Castle, where they had a
large circle of relatives and friends, until 1884, when they moved to Mrs. Leonard's
old home, Metamora, where they have since resided. They are the parents of two
children namely: Edith Gordon, born at New Castle, November 22, 1880; and
George Milton, born December 20, 1890. Edith Gordon Lennard, who grew to
young womanhood under the watchful care of her devoted parents and who
was and is now very prominent in the society of her many friends, at home and
abroad, was united in marriage, January 7, 1903, with Frederick H. Wiley, a
very active and prominent young business man of Indianapolis, which beautiful,
thriving and progressive city is now their home.
Among the chief industries of the timber country of the West, an industry
that has assumed great proportions, is the making of handles for shovels, spades,
fiirks. axes, hoes, hammers and numerous other tools and instruments. It is in
tiiis business that Mr. Lennard is now engaged, he being the leading member of
the Lennard Handle Company, Metamora, Indiana. The product of this factory,
which is hardly second to any similar concern in the State, goes mainly under
contract to foreign consumers. To the conduct and management of the facton.-,
Mr. Lennard has given and now gives the most assiduous attention but its demands
are not allowed to hold him entirely aloof from those affairs which socially and
politically engage the eflforts of those interested in good government, local. State
and National. Hence it is that Mr. Lennard, as a leading Republican of his town,
county and district, never fails to participate in the meetings and conventions
having for their object the interests and the success of the party.
ASA H EL WOODW ARD I-EXNWRO.
(Son.)
One of the most popular of the young men. who figured in the life of New
Castle and its immediate, neighborhood, was Asahel Woodward Lennard, the
second son of Colonel George W. Lennard and Clarinda (Woodward) Lennard,
his wife. He was born October 15, 1859, at New Castle and was but a young
boy when his lamented father lost his life in the Civil War, at Resaca, Georgia.
This boy. "Sale," as he was best known, obtained a part of his education, along
with his early associates, in the public schools of New Castle and completed the
same at Antioch College, Yellow Springs, Ohio, where he remained as a student
for four years.
After finishing his education, he returned to New Castle where he commenced
the study of the law with Mellett and Bundy, then one of the leading law firms of
Eastern Indiana. He was admitted to the Henry County Bar, December 4, 1880,
and in the year 1883 was elected Treasurer of the Corporation of New Castle and
was re-elected to the same office in the years 1884 and 1885 without opposition.
040 HAZZARDS HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
He practiced his profession for several years at New Castle and then determined
to seek a wider field. After visiting Duluth, Minnesota, and other Northwestern
points, he established himself at Pueblo, Colorado, to which growing and pros-
perous Colorado city he removed in March, 1887. That place has ever since been
his home.
On May 21, 1885, he married Anna Agnes Scott, daughter of James Robison
and Elizabeth Ann (King) Scott. This lady was born at Champaign, Illinois.
June 13, 1862, and was educated at the home schools and in the Chicago Female
College, Chicago, Illinois. She is a bright, intelligent woman and the devoted
wife of an equally devoted husband.
Mr. Lennard is a prominent and popular citizen of his nuw home, who holds
a warm place in the hearts of a host of friends, and is justly regarded as one of the
leading men of the City. County and State. As a lawyer he ranks among the
leaders of the bar. He was a member of the Colorado Legislature during the
ninth session, 1893, and represented his district, which is one of the most im-
portant in Colorado, with credit to himself and honor to his constituents. While
a member of the Legislature, he was chairman of the committee on the judiciary
and also a member of a number of other leading committees. He has
been City Attorney of Bessemer, a manufacturing town adjacent to Pueblo, and
was the attorney for the Pueblo Water Trustees. He has also filled several other
positions of trust and responsibility. Mr. Lennard was admitted to the Colorado
Bar, March 13, 1887. In politics he declares himself to be a high tarift, gold bug.
McKinley Republican.
Mr. Asahel W. Lennard is now but little past the meridian of life and is
destined probably to become an important factor in the rapid, western civilization
with which he has become identified. He seems assured of distinguished civic
and political preferment.
LKANDER PICRKY MITC'HF.I.I-.
( Son-in-law. )
Leander Perry Mitchell was born upon his father's farm in Fall Creek
Township, Henry County, Indiana, about half way between Mechanicsburg and
Middletown, February 5, 1849. His parents were Charles Mitchell and Mary
(Black) Mitchell. He worked on his father's farm and attended the public
schools in the neighborhood. On May i, 1864, at the age of fifteen years, he
enlisted as a private soldier in Company B, 139th Indiana Infantry, and was
mustered into the Army. June 3. 1864. He was mustered out with the regiment
September 29, 1864, on account of expiration of term of enlistment. He again
enlisted as a private in the 147th Indiana Infantry and went to Richniontl.
Indiana, for muster in but was rejected on account of his age. This was the
last regiment and company which was recruited in Henry County.
In the Winter of 1864-65 he determined to secure, if possible, an education
and started to attend the public schools. He taught two Winters at Mechanics-
burg; first, as assistant to Walter A. Boor (afterwards a learned and successful
physician) of New Castle, who was principal; second, as principal, with William
H. Keesling (afterwards the successful merchant, farmer and banker) of
^lechanicsburg, as assistant.
Among his students were Erastus L. Elliott, now cashier of the Farmers"

D. C. and the present Grand Master of Masons of the District of Columbia ; and
a number of others who afterwards became useful men and women.
After attending Spiceland Academy for some two years, he entered the
Northwestern Christian L'niversity (now Butler College) of Indianapolis where
he graduated in the Latin-Scientific course. He also graduated in the Law
Depattment of Indiana University at lUoomington. Between terms at coU'ege,
he rode on horseback once every week from his home in Fall Creek Township
to Xew Castle to recite law to the late Judge Jehu T. Elliott, who had then just
retired from the Supreme Bench. In the Fall of 1872 he opened an office at New
Castle and began the practice of law, and followed that |ioifrssion closely until
January, 1898. The bar of the Henry Circuit i/nur[ w.is then and has been ever
since composed of able lawyers.
On June 4, 1874, he married Bettie E. Woodward, daughter of Dr. Thomas
B. and Catharine Woodward, who at that time was a teacher in the public
schools of New Castle. On July 31, 1875, but little more than a year ^fter
her marriage, Mrs. Mitchell departed this life. The fruit of this marriage was one
child who died in infancy. Both mother and child are buried in South Mound
Cemetery. Mrs. Mitchell was a bright, sweet. Christian, noble young woman,
admired and loved by all who knew her.
On January 6, 1879, he was married to Gertrude Lennard. only daughter of
Colonel George W. and Clarinda (Woodward) Lennard. To this union were
born two sons, Lennard H.. born l-'ebruary 24, 1881, and ijryant S., born
December 14, 1887.
In the campaign of 1888, he was the Presidential elector on the Harrison and
Morton ticket, for the Sixth C( in,L;re-.si, ,n.il I )istrict. which he full\- can\assed. In
1890. he was appointed by the Secreiai\ (it the Interior, superintendent of the
census for the State of Indiana, and had entire charge of the taking of the census
of recorded indebtedness of the State, covering the preceding ten years. In 1892
he was an alternate delegate tn the national convention which nominated Har-
rison and Reid. In the cani]iai-n '>i 1896, he was unanimously chosen as member
of the Republican State Central (/■ miniittee from the Sixth Congressional District.
In this campaign, after Ex-President Harrison had published his letter stating
that he would not be a candidate for President, it is a matter of history that, with
the exception of John K. Gciwd\ . now C.nsul General at Paris, France, and then
State Chairman, Mr. Mitchell did 111. ne ilian ;in\ dlher man in the State to secure

642 HAZZARDS HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
Mitchell became an applicant for appointment to the office of Comptroller of the
Treasury. Robert J. Tracewell, then a member of Congress from the Third
District, was an applicant for appointment as Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court of New Mexico and wrote to Mr. Mitchell for his endorsement for that
position, which was given. The President declined to appoint Mr. Tracewell to
the position for which he was an applicant on the ground that he would not appoint
anyone to that position who was not a resident of the Territory. He declined to
appoint Mr. Mitchell, Comptroller of the Treasury, on the ground that he would
not appoint anyone to that position who had not been a member of Congress.
Both appointments were delayed until the Summer of 1897, when he appointed
^Ir. Tracewell, without his being an applicant, Comptroller of the Treasury, the
position for which Mr. Mitchell was an applicant, and sometime thereafter Mr.
Mitchell was tendered the position of Associate Justice of the Suprem'e Court of
New ^Nle.xico, the position for which ]\Ir. Tracewell had been an applicant, which
was declined. The place was then given to Judge Crumpacker of Indiana and in
January, 1898, Mr. Mitchell was appointed Assistant Comptroller of the Treasury,
a position corresponding to what was formerly the Second Comptroller of the
Treasury. This office he still holds. It is a position of great honor and responsi-
bility and one of the most important offices attached to the Treasury Department.
It is practically independent of the Comptroller's Office, has jurisdiction of all
fiscal matters pertaining to the War, Navy, and Interior Departments ; its decisions
are final and no appeal lies from them by the Government; the incumbent
should possess legal acumen commensurate with that pertaining to the highest
courts in the land. It is a purely judicial position, where legal arguments are
made orally or by written briefs, the cases often involving large sums of money.
In the discharge of his official duties, Mr. Mitchell has been industrious, pains-
taking and conscientious and has given good satisfaction.
In November, i()oi, the physician attending his wife, who was thought to
be slightly indisposed, informed him that she was fatally ill. At first this could
scarcely be realized. How often is it true that "In the midst of life we are in
death !" She was possessed of a gentle, genial, sunny nature, and her cheerful,
hopeful disposition was never more in evidence than during her prolonged strug-
gle with the grim destroyer which continued until the night of April 22, 1902,
which brought the end and a release to her warm, sweet spirit. At the time of
her decease at her home in Washington, D. C, her husband, her two sons, and
her brother Asahel W. Lennard, who had come from Pueblo, Colorado, were
with her.
She was born July 22. T855. at New Castle, which was her home, except
when away at college and during her residence in Washington. She was a member
of the first class (1875) which graduated from the New Castle Academy. In
the Fall of 1875 she entered Antioch College at Yellow Springs, Ohio, at that
time ranking in thoroughness and high grade of studies with the best schools
in the land, taking the regular classical course. She passed through the Fresh-
man, Sophomore, Junior and the greater part of the Senior year, always standing
at the head of her classes, when her health broke down and compelled her, much
to her sorrow and that of her friends, to give up her work in college and return
to her home. She was a noble woman, possessed of a beautiful Christian char-
hazzard's history of henry county. 643
acter, of strong ability both natural and acquired. No company where she was
present could be dull. She was a woman of high ideals, a loyal, generous, sweet-
hearted friend, a faithful and devoted wife, an affectionate and indulgent mother.
She was admired and loved by all who knew her. Her remains were brought to
her home in New Castle, and on Sunday, .\pril 27, 1902, followed by a large as-
sembly of friends who had known her in life, they were laid at rest in South
Alound Cemetery. To all who knew her. her life is a sweet and enduring memory.
To Bryant S., the loss of his mother seemed more than he could bear. He
could hardly be reconciled to the thought that he would never again see her in
this world. On account of his health, after the death of his mother, he went with
his uncle to his home in Pueblo, Colorado. On August i, 1902, he and his father
and Lennard H. met in Chicago and together visited the Yellowstone National
Park, Salt Lake City, Idaho and other points of interest in the West, and then
returned to Pueblo where it was arranged for him to remain and attend a private
school during the ensuing year. On September 8th, just three weeks from the day
his father and brother left him, word was received that he was dangerously ill.
His father started to him immediately but he passed away before he could reach
him. By all who knew him he is remembered as of handsome appearance, bright,
generous, affectionate, a splendid specimen of a manly boy. His remains were
brought to his home in New Castle, where on Monday, September i6th, 1902,
they were quietly laid to rest beside his mother.
In a few brief months a pleasant home was shattered, deprived of nearly
exery ray of sunshine, with no comfort except that which must come from Above.

Mitchell, will be found further and fuller reference to Qiarles and Man.' (Black)

LENNAKD HARRIS MITCHET.I..
(Grandson.)
» Lennard Harris Mitchell completed his education at the Dean Academy, Frank-
lin. Massachusetts, twenty seven miles from Boston, where he graduated in June,
1901. In the Fall of the same year he returned to the Academy and took the post
graduate course of that institution. On June 23, 1904, he married Bessie Joye,
daughter of Judge John M. and Cora (Heritage) Morris, of New Castle. Since
his graduation from Dean Academy, he has been connected with the Postoffice
Department and he and his wife make their home with his father in Wash-
ington, D. C.
In January. 1902, at the request of the Auditor for Cuban affairs at Wash-
ington (then in Havana), he was sent to Cuba to assist in straightening out the
accounts of the Island. This work had particular reference to the affairs of
the Postoffice Department which were being investigated, owing to the pecula-
tions of Rathbone and Neely. He remained in Cuba until the following April,
when he was called back to Washington on account of the fatal illness of his
mother. In the Winter of 1902-3 and again in the Fall of 1903, besides attending
to his duties in the Postofifice Department, he found time to attend the law school
of the Columbian University (now the George Washington LTniversity). He has
recently been engaged in the direction and installation of the rural route service
in Pennsylvania and Virginia.

I'.IOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF JOHX ROWDY McCORMACK.
I'RiVATE. C(i.\rr.\NV 1. 6qth ixfaxirv Ki-:i;iMi-:xr. ixdiax \ \()I,uxtki-:us.
John Rowdy McO-irniack was the eldest son of ■Melon and Mary AlcCorniack,
and was born in Henry County. Indiana, on his father's farm, about two miles
west of Cadiz. The parents came from X'irginia and settled in Henry Count}- at
a very early date.
That the famil\- was full^of patriotic blood is shown in the fact that the suliject
of this sketch was one of four brothers, all of whom served in the Federal Armv
during the Civil War. The second son. Thomas AlcCormack, of Company K.
8th Indiana Infantry (three years), was killed at Vicksburg, Mississippi, on the
2 1, St day of May. 1863. The third son. Noah McCormack. of Company C. 36th
Indiana Infantry, went through all the campaigns of that well known regiment
and upon the muster out of the regiment. September 21, 1864, returned home
where he still lives, an honored citizen of the county. The fourth son, Andrew J.
McCormack, of Company E, 9th Indiana Cavalry, is a survivor of the ill-fated
steamboat. Sultana, which was blown up. set on fire and destroved on the Mis-
sissippi River, April 2-j. 1865. His recollections of that tragic event are publislied
elsewhere in this work.
John R. McCormack. the subject of this sketch, enlisted in the service of his
country in Company I. 69th Indiana Infantry, and was mustered into the service
of the Cnited States. .August 19, 1862. At the battle of Richmond, Kentuck\ ,
August 30, 1862, he was severely wounded and w-as taken prisoner with the
greater part of his regiment. After the regiment had been exchanged and re-
organized, it was sent down the Mississippi River to serve under General Grant.
After the siege and surrender of A'icksburg. he was taken sick and died at that
]5lace. .A.ugust ii. 1863. His body was buried at Milliken's I'er.fl. Louisiana, but
has since been re-interred among the unknown dead in the National Cemetery at
Mcksburg.
In 1850 John R. McCormack was married to Nancy Baughan and to them
was born one child, now Mrs. Richard Callahan, who lives two and one-half
miles southwest of Cadiz. His wife died in 1855. He was a carpenter 1)\- trade,
honorable and upright, a good citizen, a brave soldier, highly esteemed b\- all of
his friends and neighbors, and his memory preserved and honored l)v his com-
rades in arms.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF JEROME BONAPARTE MASON,
■^K^ iiM) LIEUTENANT COMPANY F, 84TH INFANTRY REGIMENT, INDIANA VOLUNTEERS.
Lieutenant Jerome Bonaparte Mason, son of Daniel and Nellie Mason, was
born in the year 1837 ^^ Knightstown. Indiana, but the exact date of his birth
is not now obtainable.
He was a brave, intrepid soldier and the first commissioned officer from
Knightstown and Wayne Township killed in the Civil War. Because of this
fact and to do honor to his name, the G. A. R. Post at Knightstown was named
the "Jerry B. Mason Post," "Jerry" being the name by which he was familiarly
known, but his correct name was as it appears at the beginning of this sketch.
He was instantlx- \<U\c(\ at the famous battle of Chickamauga, Georgia, on Sun-
da}- aftern(i(in, Stpteniber 20, 1863, at which time, being attached to the staff of
General Walter C Whitaker, who commanded the brigade, he was in the act of
carrying a message from the latter's headquarters to the headquarters of the
division commander, when he was struck in the forehead by a shell and the top
of his head torn ofif. When at home on furlough a shnrt time before this tragic
ending of his life, he told his wife and two or three nf his friends a (h't:nii Ik- had
and at its conclusion stated in bidding them goodbye, "I will never see you again."
The vision showed him with particularity the scene of the battle, what he was
doing at. the time and how he would be killed, and curiously enough was in
, accordance with the facts as they afterwards transpired.
From boyhood. Mason was interested in military affairs and in 1861 organized
a company of zouaves, than which there was no better drilled military organiza-
tion in the State.
His sword was saved from the battlefield and given into the possession of his
widow who died some years ago at Kansas City, Missouri. His wife was a
daughter of Dr. Hill who, at the beginning of the Civil War, was a resident
of Knightstown. They had but one child, a son, who is still living and engaged
in the railroad service in the West. Two of his brothers are also living, Robert
W. Mason, who is an inmate of the National i\Iilitary Home at Danville, Illinois,
and George W. Mason, who lives at Edina, Knox County, Missouri. The Post
at Knightstown is the owner of an excellent portrait of Lieutenant Mason, whose
remains are laid in the National Cemeterv at Chattanooga, Tennessee, having
been removed there from the battlefield when the National Cemetery was estab-
lished. Unfortunately, he is among the unknown dead, which results undoubtedly
from the fact that he was first buried by the Confederates who occupied the
field immediately after the battle.
MASON FAMILY. 1139220
The Masons were a martial family. Daniel Mason, Senior, scrvetl in the
War of 1812-15 with the Virginia Troops and afterwards moved to Indiana,
settling at Knightstown. His eight sons were all soldiers of the Civil War. They
went into the Federal Army from Knightstown, Ogden and vicinity, except Alex-
ander L. Mason, who at the beginning of the war was in Iowa and entered the
armv from that State. The record of each is as follows :

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF GEORGE WASHINGTON RADER.
SERGEANT. fOMPAN'i- K. 8tH INFANTRY REGIMENT. INDIANA X'OI.UNTEERS (THREE
years).
Jesse Rader, the father of the subject of this sketch, was born in Rockingham
County, Virginia, March 4, 1806. In 1832 he was united in marriage with Diana
Hoover, daughter of a wealthy farmer of Rockingham County. In 1835 they
migrated to Indiana and entered one hundred acres of land in Henry County,
immediately south of Middletown. Very little of the land was at that time
cleared, most of it being heavily timbered. Middletown was then composed of a
few log houses, a postoffice, blacksmith shop and a general store. The Raders
commenced housekeeping in a log cabin but soon built a two-story house of
hewed logs, and this in those early days was considered a rather pretentious
dwelling. They both worked at clearing the farm and raising such produce as
thev could dispose of, the nearest markets being Columbus and Cincinnati. Ohio.
.\fter their land had been all cleared, forty acres of woodland were added to
it and hcri' they cuitiiiued to reside, leading quiet and uneventful but honorable
and useful livrs. I'liuy administered to the sick and assisted in the last rites to
the dead, ciimfortcd those in trouble and exercised a broad charity that knew no
distinction of person or creed. Churches and schools were few and scattered but
their children received the best education the locality afforded and the home
was thrown open to worshippers of God and was made the circuit rider's stopping
place at which regular religious services were held.
To the union of Jesse and Diana (Hoover) Rader were born four daughters
and one son. Amanda, the oldest daughter, was married in 1852 to Robert R.
Van Winkle, who lived in the Middletown neighborhood. He became a soldier
of the Civil War, enlisting in Company H, 69th Indiana Infantry. He was
mustered into the service of the United States, as a private, August 19, 1862. and
participated in all the marches, skirmishes and battles of his regiment until
mustered out May 23, 1865. Sarah, the second daughter, was married in 1855
to Dr. David Toops. Mary, the youngest daughter, was married in 1867 to
IMadison Grose. The last named was a soldier of the Civil War, whose services
are recounted more at length in connection with the life of his father. General
William Grose, in the chapter of this History relating to General Officers.
Mr. and j\Irs. Jesse Rader were members of the United Brethren Church
and devout Christians. After the marriage of their daughters and the death of
their only son in the Civil War, feeling themselves growing too old for the
labors of the farm, they sold it and bought property in Middletown, where they
retired for the remainder of their lives. Jesse Rader died in March, 1885. and
his widow. Diana CHoover) Rader, died four years later, in ;\Iay, 1889.
GEORGE ^^•.\SHINGrON RADER.
George Washington Rader. the subject of this sketch, was the only son of
Jesse and Diana (Hoover) Rader and was born on his parents' farm near Mid-
dletown. Henry County, Indiana, August 17, 1841, where he grew to manhood,
assisting in the work of the farm and receiving such education as the schools of
7^, 5^d^T
hazzard's history of kenry county. 663
Middletown afiforded. On the threshold of maturity, he was met by the country's
call to arms and with the ardor of youth, he plunged into that mighty struggle.
He was active in recruiting and organizing what became Company E, 8th Indiana
Infantry, three years' service, and was himself mustered into the service of the
United States, as a Sergeant of that company, September 5, 1861. He was in ill
health during much of his service in the army but never faltered in the perform-
ance of duty. He participated in all the marches, skirmishes and battles of his
regiment until the 22nd day of May, 1863, when, in the general assault on Vicks-
burg, one of his legs was broken near the knee by a minie ball. He was taken
to the hospital at the Furgasbn House where the leg was amputated. The injury
was mortal and five days later, on May 27, 1863, he passed away and his remains
were buried on the battlefield by his comrades. Thus ended the brave and youthful
life of one who had been the hope and joy of his parents.
After the war, when a grateful people established the National Cemetery at
Mcksburg as a burial place for the honored dead who had fallen in the struggle
for possession of that place, the remains of George Washington Rader were
removed from their original burial place and reinterred in the National Cemetery,
in Section G, Grave No. 4965.
When the armed hosts of the nation had conquered peace, his returned com-
rades remembered the gallant young soldier and perpetuated his memory in the
name of the George W. Rader Post. No. 119, Grand .\rmy of the Republic.
W II.I.IAM J. IIIIJ.IGOSS.
Connected with the Rader family by marriage was that meritorious soldier
of the Civil War. William J- Hilligoss. He was of German-Scotch ancestry but
was himself born in Rush County, Indiana, October 3, 1837. He removed to
Madison County, Indiana, with his father, where he worked on the farm and
was educated in the district schools and at the jMarion Academy.
During the Civil War, he enlisted in Company G, 75th Indiana, Infantry, and
was mustered into the service of the United States, as a Sergeant of the company,
July 28, 1862. His regiment was brigaded with the 87th and loist Indiana
Infantry, constitutijig the famous "Indiana Brigade." which was the 2nd Brigade,
3rd Division, 14th Army Corps, Army of the Cumberland. He participated with
his regiment in the TuUahoma Campaign and the march towards Chattanooga and
was wounded at Chickamauga, Georgia, September 20, 1863. During the Atlanta
Campaign, he especially distinguished himself. He participated in Sherman's
"March to the sea," and the campaign through the Carolinas and the final events
of the war. April 26, 1364, he was promoted First Lieutenant of his company
and was mustered out of the service June 8, 1865.
In August, 1862, a few days after his enlistment in the army, he was united
in marriage with Elizabeth Rader, the third daughter of Jesse and Diana
(Hoover) Rader. _ After his return from the war, they resided at Middletown,
where for six years Mr. Hilligoss was engaged in business. They then moved
to Bluffton, Wells County, where he practiced law. In 1877 he took charge of
the Huntington Democrat, as business manager and editor but sold out the
business in 1885. In 1882 he was elected to the Indiana State Senate from the
district composed of Huntington and Wells counties. In politics he had been a
664 hazzard's history of henry county.
Republican until 1872 when, in common with many others, during the Hberal
movement of that time, he joined tlie Democrats. In 1886 JMr. HilHgoss bought
an interest in the Anderson Herald and moved with his family to that city. He
was in charge of the paper for a short time only, for in December. 1886, he
was appointed Chief of the Eastern Division, in the Pension Department, Wash-
ington City, where they went to live. In 1889 Mr. and Mrs. Hilligoss. returned
to Indiana, .where he bought an interest in the Muncie Herald and afterwards
engaged in the law and real estate business in that city until his death which
occurred January 19, 1901.
During their residence at Middietown, Henry County, two daughters were
l)orn to Mr. and ^Irs. Hilli.goss. Luetta, the younger daughter, was married in
January, 1887, to W. G. !\IcEdward. an official of the Erie Railroad. In June
of the same year, the elder daughter, De Lenna, died in Washington, D. C.
Mr. Hilligoss was, during his later years, greatly interested in the cause of
temperance and religion. He was an earnest and devout member of the Methodist
Episcopal Oiurch. Upon his death, the funeral ceremonies were helcl in that
church under the auspices of the Masonic Fraternity and the Grand Army of
the Republic, of both of which organizations he was a member. His remains were
interred at Anderson.
HARMON R.\YL POST. XO. 360, G, A. R.. SPICELAXD. IXDTAX.V.
Harmon Rayl Post, Xo. 360, Department of Indiana. Grand .\rmv of the
Republic, was organized and instituted at Spiceland, Henr\- County, Indiana.
June 17, 1884, and was mustered in by Colonel Edward H. Wolfe, of Joel Wolfe
Post, X'o. 81. Rushville. Rush County, Indiana, assisted by Thomas J. Lindley.
of Lookout Post. X'o. 133, Noblesville, Hamilton County. Indiana. The
Post was named for and in honor of Harmon Rayl, late of Com-
pany A, 36th Indiana Infantr\-, a sketch of whose life and military service is full\-
set -forth at the conclusion of this article.
The following named comrades were present at the organization and became
charter members of the Post, viz: Samuel Berry, Jesse Bunker., John F. Camplin.
George W. Conrad, Francis M. Crull, James Davy, Martin Deem, John Eastridge.
Hugh L. English, Alpheus Fawcett, Andrew Fifer, Nathan Foster, Qarkson
Gordon, John N. Leamon, William H. Lewis, Charles H. C. Moore, Louis P.
;\loore, William A. Pate. William 'Reynolds. William Rhinewalt, Xelson G. Smith.
John .\. Spencer, Thomas M. Swain and Thomas P.. A'an Dyke.
The regular meetings of the I'ost are held on the first and third Saturday
nights of each month.
In February. 1892. the records, paraphernalia and other property of the
Post were destroyed by fire. There has been no sergeant major nor quartermaster
sergeant of this Post since the fire, which is no doubt owing to the small member-
ship of the Post and for this reason neither of these officers is enumerated in the
history of the Post. The fire, unfortunate and disastrous as it was, did not dispel
the ardor of its members. The ruins which they sadl\- contemplated only served
to give them fresh strength and from that fatal hour down to the present time,
the Post has kept its loyalty and integrity of purpose and today, though small in

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF HARMOX RAVL. .
PRIVATE, COMPANY A. 36TH INFANTRY RF.C.IMENT. TNIllAN A \()H-NTEERS.
Harmon Ravi was born in Guilford County, North Carolina. October 4.
1839. and in earlv childhood came with his parents, Zadoc and Delilah Ravi, to
Henry County, where he grew to manhood, working on his father's farm, two
miles southwest of Spiceland. He attended the country and town schools during
the Winter months and obtained a fair education for the time in which he lived.
Having become of age a short time prior to the memorable Presidential contest
of i860, he had the privilege of casting his first vote for Abraham Lincoln.
In the Summer of the following year, when President Lincoln called for
three hundred thousand volunteers, Harmon Rayl became aroused to the gigantic
nature of the struggle to preserve the L'nion and resolved to give all the aid
within his power to the President, whom he had helped to elect. He enlisted in
Company A. 36th Indiana Infantry, on September 16. 1861, and participated in
all the campaigns of that noted regiment up to and including the battle of Lookout
Mountain, Tennessee. Here he was greatly exposed to the inclemency of the
weather and subjected to such terrible hardships during the campaign, that he-
was at last taken ill with brain fever, which terminated his life at \Miitcsidcs.
Tennessee. December 18, 1863.
His remains were brought iKmie and interred in the old cemetery at Spice-
land. .^ suitable monument marks the last resting place of this genial, whole-
souled and patriotic young man. He was a favorite in his social circle, a brave
soldier and the light and life of the camp. He yielded up his life, at the age of
twenty four years, for the preservation of the L'nion.
When the Spiceland Post. Grand Army of the Republic, was instituted, it
was unanimously agreed to name it Harmon Rayl Post, in honor of the comrade
who had shed such lustre upon the annals of his township.
.\n excellent picture of the deceased was presented to the Post b\' his father.
Zaddc Ravi, hut it was destroyed in the fire which consunie<l the property of the
Post in 1802.
Surviving Harmon Rayl, there remain of his family, .\lpheus Rayl. a bnither,
and Mrs. Thomas K. ?ilillikan, a sister, living at Spiceland, and Clarkson Rayl,
another brother, who resides at Carmel. Hamilton County. Imliana.
HEXRY COUNTY ASSOCIATION OF A'ETERANS
OF THE CRTL WAR.
Late in the year igo2. the George W. Lennard Post, ("irand .\rniy of the_
Republic, gf New Castle, conceived the idea of a county association of veterans
of the Civil War, with the double purpose of recruiting and strengthening the
Grand Army and of getting better acquainted with each other, and keeping in
closer touch than they had heretofore been able to do.
It was argued in the Post that many soldiers in the county belonged to
organizations so widelv scattered as to make it impracticable for them to ever
meet in regiment.al or battery re-union with their own comrades and that they
0/^i>7^7^t<yyi' 5^^?^/^
iiazzard's history of henry countv. 669
were for that reason liable to drop out and be lost sight of altogether. It was
expected that this association would take care of all such soldiers, know who they
were, where the}- were and, if they should die or remove from the county, the
\-ice-president of the township in which they lived would report such fact to the '
secretary of the association. In this way a complete record would be kept of evcrv
soldier in the county.
The argument was so convincing that a committee consisting of William 1!.
Cock, Thomas W. Gronendyke and Henry C. Elliott was appointed to call a
meeting. Invitations were issued and the call published in all of the county papers
and on Saturday, November 22, 1902, the first meeting was held. The day was
an unfavorable one, a rainstorm keeping many away. However, eighty four
comrades registered, which, under the circumstances, was considered very en-
couraging.
William B. Bock called the meeting to order and stated the object of assemb-
ling. Thomas W. Gronendyke was elected temporary President and Henry C.
l'311iott. Secretary. A committee on organization and nomination of officers, con-
sisting of Albert W. Saint, Joseph M. Lacy, Samuel W. Overman, Harvey B.
Chew and John H. Templin, was appointed to report after dinner. A number of
short speeches, favorable to the new movement, made by different comrades,
provoked such enthusiasm that success was assured. Adjournment was then
had to the Knights of Pythias Hall where the ladies of the Women's Relief Corps
had prepared a grand banquet. The comrades all repaired there and soon con-
vinced the ladies that their efforts were appreciated.
The afternoon session was called to order at i 130 o'clock and the committee
on organization reported as follows :
"We recommend that this organization be known as the 'Henry County
.\ssociation of Veterans of the Civil War,' and that the officers consist of a Presi-
dent, a Secretary, and a Vice-President from each township in the county, and
that we hold meetings annually : that we also recommend Thomas W. Gronendyke
for President, to serve one year, and Henry C. Elliott for Secretary, to serve for
a like period, and that we recommend the follnwing \ice-Presidents for the
several townships :
Blue River Township Henry H. Moore.
Dudley Township Joseph M. Lacy.
Fall Creek Township ; Jacob Warnock.
Franklin Township John F. Camplln.
Greensboro Township Harvey B. Chew.
Harrison Township , John W. McCormack.
Henry Township 'William M. Pence.
Jefferson Township John W. Whitworth.
Liberty Township John Perry.
Prairie Township John A. Powers.
Spiceland Township Erie Lamb.
Stony Creek Township John H. Templin.
Wayne Township Samuel W. Overman."
(7)n motion of Leander S. Dcnius, the report of the committee was adopted
and a collection, sufficient to defra\- expenses, was taken u|i. The exercises of the
day followed, consisting of recitations b\- the Misses Helen Gronendvke, Edvthe

King and Harriet Xardin. a song by Edith Gronendyke, and short but lively
speeches, after the manner of camp fire talks, by David T. King, Caleb Lamb,
fSenjamin A. Stewart, George Hazzard (author of this History) and others. On
motion of Mahlon D. Harvey, a vote of thanks was tendered the young ladies for
their songs and recitations, after which the meeting adjourned to meet on the call
of the President.
The "bean supper," prepared by the Women's Relief Corps, was well
patronized by the comrades and citizens generally and all left with the feeling that
the initial meeting had been a grand success.
The second meeting of the association was held in the G. A. R. Hall, New
Castle, on Tuesday. October 6, 1903. At this meeting one hundred ex-soldiers
registered. President Thomas W. Gronendyke called the meeting to orde*- at
10 :30 o'clock and the session was opened with an invocation by Chaplain David
T. King, after which the President appointed the following committee on resolu-
tions : Albert W. Saint, of Henry Township ; James M. Mercer, of Liberty Town-
ship ; John W. ?iIcCormack, of Harrison Township ; Clarkson Gordon, of Spice-
land Township, and Jacob Warnock, of Fall Creek Township. He also appointed
the following committee on nominations : Eli F. Millikan, of Spiceland Township ;
Leonard H. Craig, of Prairie Township, and Isaac N. Wright, of Dudlev Town-
ship.
Elihu T. Mendenhall made a motion that a committee be appointed to present
the matter of a county soldiers' monument to the Board of County Commissioners
and the County Council, which was adopted and Elihu T. Mendenhall, Erie Lamb,
Jacob Warnock, Pearson Loer and John W. Whitworth were appointed as such
committee, after si^eeches favorable to the project had been made by Richmond
Wisehart. Pearson Loer, 'Leander M. James and Joseph M. Brown. The meet-
ing was then entertained with musical selections by George M. Barnard and
Miss Mary Smith. The ladies of the Methodist Church served an excellent
dinner in the Knights of Pythias Hall, which was heartily complimented by all.
A goodly number of citizens honored the association with their presence and
took a lively interest in the proceedings.
At the afternoon session, the committee on resolutions made the following-
report :
"Resolved, by the Henry County Association of A'eterans of the Civil War.
that we favor a continuance of this organization of old soldiers to the end that
we- may keep in touch with each other, renew acquaintances formed in other
years and insist that' justice be done our comrades in the way of more liberal
pensions.
"Resolved, that we favor a pension of not less than twelve dollars per month
for all honorably discharged L'nion soldiers and sailors who have reached the age
of sixty years and who served not less than ninety days, and that a like pension
be allowed to the widows of such soldiers and sailors, provided they did not
marry said soldier later than June 27, 1890.
"Resolved, that we urge our senators and representatives in Congress to do
all in their power to secure this much needed legislation for worthy comrades
who can never get justice under the existing laws.
"Resolved, that the thanks of this association be tendered the members of the
HAZZARD S HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY. 6/1
Kniohts of Pythias Lodge for the use of their magnificent hall in which to hold
its meetings'; to George j\I. Barnard and Miss Mary Smith for the musical enter-
tainment, and to any and all others who aided in carrying out a most successful
]irogram."
The committee on nomination,s reported in favor of Henry C. Elliott for
President and Albert ^^■. Saint for Secretary, each to serve for one year, which
was concurred in by the meeting.
The session was brought to a close with short speeches, songs and hand-
shaking among the comrades.
The third and last meeting recorded in this History was held in the Court
House, New Castle, Tuesday, October ii, 1904. The announcement that Daniel
R. Lucas, Department Commander of the G. A. R., would be present served to
call out a large crowd of citizens as well as ex-soldiers anxious to honor him
by their presence. The attendance of veterans reached high water mark at this
meeting, one hundred and ten affixing their names to the register, but the shaky
signatures told only too plainly of advancing age and feeble bodies. It may be
remarked that a goodly number of comrades, living within sight of the Court
House, were by reason of wounds or other disabilities imable to meet their old
comrades at this annual gathering.
The meeting was called to order at one o'clock by President Henry C. Elliott
and the session opened with an invocation by Department Commander, Daniel R.
Lucas. The Secretary, Albert ^^'. Saint, read tlie minutes of the last meeting
which were approved, and a committee on resolutions was appointed consisting of
Thomas P. Wilkinson, John W. Whitworth anrl John Thornburgh. A Vice-
President for each township was named as follows :
Blue River Township Henry C. Bridget.
Dudley Township Joseph M. Lacy.
Fall Creek Township Benjamin H. Davis.
Franklin Township John F. Camplin.
Greensboro Township Exum Copeland.
Harrison Township Philander Lowery.
Henry Township John Thornburgh.
Jefferson Township John W. AVhitworth.
Liberty Township ,. . . .James M. Mercer.
Prairie Township William Frazier.
Spiceland Township George P. Beach.
Stony Creek Township Franklin W. Murray.
Wayne Township Clinton D. Hawhee.
These vice-presidents were instructed to report to the secretary any deaths
or removals in their respective townships.
The financial report of the secretarv showed a balance on hand of $1.15 from
the meeting of the previous year. \ committee on nominations consisting of.
Robert A. Smith, Elihu T. Mendenhall and John Lockridge was appointed. The
committee appointed at the preceding session to confer with the Board of County
Commissioners and the County Council with regard to aid in erecting a monument
to our soldier dead, reported that nothing had as yet been accomplished, owing
chiefly to the expense incurred in building the new addition to the Court House,
but that the officials were friendly to the proposition and hoped soon to be in
shape to aid this much desired object, whereupon the committee was continued.
672 hazzakd's history of henry county.
The chief attraction of this meeting of veterans was the address of Daniel R.
Lucas, who proved himself a forceful speaker, a good singer of patriotic songs
and a capital stor}- teller. His strong appeal to the veterans to he loyal to each
other and to the Grand Army will, no doubt, aid materiall\- in increasing the
membership of the organization.
The committee on nominations recommended Robert A. Smith, of Knights-
town,, for President and Albert W. Saint, of New Castle, for Secretary, which
action of the committee was concurred in.
The committee on resolutions made the following report :
"After a fair trial of the merits of this organization of the veteran soldiers
of Henry County, it is with pleasure that your committee recommends its con-
tinuance until the day and the hour when all of the Cnion ex-soldiers of the
county shall have passed away. The organization has fulfilled the fondest hopes
of "its friends and its several meetings have resulted in strengthening and cement-
ing the ties of comradeship. In the fullness of our hearts, realizing the good
of such an organization in this county, we unite in recommending other counties
to go and do likewise.
■"And it is further resolved, that we reiterate our belief that a pension of
not less than twelve dollars per month should be granted to all honorably dis-
charged soldiers and sailors who have reached the age of sixty years and that a
like pension should be granted to their widows, and that we heartily appmve
President Roosevelt's pension order. Number 78.
"Resolved also, that we continue to urge our National Legislature to do all
and everything to aid and assist ex-soldiers of the Union, by strengthening our
present pension laws and making them more liberal in their intent and purpose."
The third session of annual meetings then came to a close with the singing
of patriotic songs.
The following is a list of the members with their addresses, who have at-
tended the several meetings of the association. It is believed that it comprises at
least two-thirds of all the ex-soldiers now living in the county. Where the
address is in Henry County, the State is omitted. An asterisk '■' denotes those
who are known to have died since joining the association.

lORY OF THE ReGIMENT BIOGRAPHICAL SkETCH OF CaPTAIN AlBERT
DuretOgkokn and Family — Recapitulation.
For a period of ten years, from 1868. to 1878, the inhabitants <lf Cuba were
vuL^aged in a struggle to free themselves from the yoke of Spanish tyranny, but
were defeated. The Spanish Government made most liberal promises, but failed
Id keep them. Hostilities were renewed which lasted for three years, from 1895 to
1898. The inhabitants were in a most deplorable condition ; the reconcentradoes —
men, women, and children, non-combatants — were by edict of the Spanish Captain
General. Weyler, driven from their homes, crowded together without proper food
iir shelter, and died by thousands of disease and starvation. The attention and
sympathy of the American people had for several years been attracted to this
miserable condition of the Cubans, and many attempts had been made to relieve
their distress.
.\t the beginning of 1898 about 40 per cent, of the inhabitants had perished.
At this juncture two events happened which increased the tension in the United
States. One was the exposure of a letter written by Senor de Lome, the Spanish
Minister to the United States, to a friend, grossly reflecting upon the President ;
the other was a demand by the Spanish Government for the recall from Cuba of
Consul General Lee, which was refused. On the 25th of January,
i8<;8. the L^nited States Battleship- Maine was ordered to Havana
Harbor, on a peaceful mission, by the authority of the United States,
and on the 15th of February, 1898, between 9 and 10 o'clock p. m., the vessel was .
blown up by a submarine mine, 266 sailors losing their lives. A searching in-
vestigation followed without fixing the responsibility. Congress immediately ap-
propriated $50,000,000 "for the national defense and for each and every purpose
connected therewith, to be expended at the discretion of the President."
.\fter fruitless effort to bring about an amicable settlement, on April 11,
1808. the President asked Congress to intervene to stop the Cuban War, and by
force establish a stable government on the island. On April 19, i8g8. Congress
passed resolutions, which were signed by the President at 11 124 a. m.the following
day, declaring "that the people of the island of Cuba are, and by right ought to be,
free and independent," and demanding that Spain at once relinquish its authority-

in the island. It also authorized the President to use the entire military force
of the United States to carry the resolution into effect.
The diplomatic relations between the two countries ceased April 21, 1898,
and it was held that a state of war existed from that date. Blockade of the
principal Cuban ports was declared April 22. and on the 23d the President called
for 125,000 volunteers to serve two years, and on May 24 the Spanish Govern-
ment announced that a state of war between that country and the United .States
existed.
The protocol of agreement Ijetwcen the United States and Spain was signed
at Washington, District of Columbia. August 12, 1898, by ^^'illiam R. Day- and
Tules Cambon.
The treaty of peace was signed at Paris December 10. 1898, by William R.
Day, Cushman K. Davis, William P. Frye. George Gray, and Whitelaw Reid.
for the United States, and by Eugenio Montero Rios, B. de Abarzuza, J. de Gar-
nica, W. R. de N'illa Urrutia. and Rafael Cerero, for the Kingdom of Spain.

ONE HUNDRED AND SINTY FIRST INFANTRY.
This was a volunteer regiment organized for the Spanish-American \\ ar
to fill the quota of Indiana under the President's second call for troops. It was
mustered in by battalions and on July 15, 1898, the regiment as a whole was mus-
tered into the service of the United States, It remained at Camp Mount under
instruction until August 11. 1898. when it was ordered to Jacksonville. Florida,
where it arrived on August 14 and was assigned to the First Brigade. Third
Division, Seventh Army Corps, General Fitzhugh Lee commanding. The brigade
was made up of the 2nd Mississippi, the 3rd Nebraska (Colonel William Jen-
nings Bryan ) and the T6ist Indiana,
68o hazzard's history of henry county.
During its stay at Jacksonville, the regiment was engaged in numerous regi-
mental drills and brigade and division reviews, and on August 31 took part in
a review of the whole corps, in which twenty three regiments and more than
twenty eight thousand men were in line, .\mong this host the 161 st Indiana was
conspicuous for soldierly appearance, fine marching, full companies and straight
lines. On October 21, the Seventh Army Corps was re-organizcd and the Knst
Indiana was assigned to the First Brigade. Second Division.
( )n October 23, 1898, the regiment was moved from Jacksonville to Savan-
nah. Georgia, where it went into i^amp and once more took up the routine of
drills, inspections and reviews, until under orders to proceed to Cuba, the regi-
ment, on December 12, embarked on the transport Mobile, now the Sherman, for
Havana, Cuba. Its arrival there was the signal for a notable reception by the
Cubans, grateful for long delayed freedom. The Spanish power had not yet
turned over its authority in the Island but was to do so under the terms of the
treaty of peace negotiated at. Paris. The enthusiasm .of the people broke all
bounds when the Seventh Corps, disembarl<:ing at Havana, took up its route for
camp through that city.
The regiment went into camp at Camp CoUimbia. Alarianao. Cuba, December
17, 1898, where it remained until ordered home. On January i, 1899, ^^ V^^'
ticipated in the ceremonies marking the relinquishment of Spanish authority in
the Antilles and witnessed the raising 6f the American flag over Morro Castle,
an epoch making event, and certainly the most important one in the history of the
regiment. While in Cuba, the i6ist Indiana gained the reputation of being the
finest regiment in the Seventh Army Corps, and the praise awarded it by the
commanding officers was a deserved tribute to the intelligent and hard working
officers and men of the organization. After the pacification of Cuba, the regi-
ment was ordered home and arrived at Savannah. Georgia, ?\Iarch 31. 1899. where
it was mustered out April 30, 1899.
In the following roster, the name of each officer and man is followed by his
postoffice address at the time of enlistment. The date of enrollment is the date
of enlistment, not the date of muster.
Company G was considered a distinctively Henry County organization, and
for that reason the names of all its members are published to complete the roster,
whether they lived in Henry County or not. This company was organized by
the indefatigable efforts of Captain Albert D. Ogborn and Lieutenant James I.
Meyers, who were afterwards joined by Lieutenant Charles M. Pitman. There
was great rivalry from all parts of the State to get into this volunteer regiment,
and officers and men of this provisional company were alike rejoiced when it was
ordered to appear for examination. Defections from the ranks were made good
by the acceptance of a number of Delaware County men and the Captain was
able to report one hundred and nine men accepted by the local surgeon. Their
departure for Indianapolis on July i, 1898. was celebrated by the closing of the
business houses of New Castle, and a great procession, headed by the Grand Army
Post, escorted the company to the station. This was the fourth company to arrive
in Indianap'olis and was the first one ready for muster and was mustered in July
12, 1898. The record of this fine regiment owes much to the soldierly qualities
of the officers and men of Companv G. In the roster of the company recur the

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF ALBERT DURET OGBORN.
, M'TAIX, COMPANY G, 161ST INFANTRY REGIMENT, INDIANA VOLUNTEERS, SPANISH
AMERICAN war; LAWYER AND LEGISLATOR.
It is merit that wins. One may by study fill the mind with knowledge and in
theory, at least, know how to do things, but success depends largely upon the
application of such knowledge in a practical way. Ability to accomplish results
establishes merit and on the strength of merit comes the reward — confidence, com-
mendation and advancement. It is this ability to do things, to accomplish results,
that has characterized the life of the subject of this sketch.
In the pioneer days of Eastern Indiana, Wayne County was peopled by large
numbers of vigorous, energetic men and women who came mainly from Pennsyl-
vania, old Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky. Many of these
.settlers, after a more or less brief residence in Wayne, moved onward to Henry
County, and became permanent citizens of that county. Obeying the restless
spirit of enterprise and discovery which had carried their parents away from
established homes into the wilderness, the descendants of many of the pioneers
of "Old Wayne'" separated themselves from the parental authoritv and came
to Henry County, where they soon became identified with its people, grew up
with its growth and frequently achieved civil, political and social distinction.
This early immigration accounts for the close ties of kinship existing between
so many of. the families of Wayne and Henry counties down to the present time.
Descendants of the large Bond family, of the Hoovers, the Elliotts, the Brad-
burys, the Bransons, the Drapers, the Thornburghs, the Shaffers, the Strattons. the
Roofs, the Ezekiel Rogers" branch of the Rogers' family, the Murpheys, the Men-
denhalls, the Martindales, the Harveys, the Clifts. the Bundys. and many
others, whose names might be mentioned, have spread over Henry County, so
that strong ties of blood exist between the two counties, uniting them more
closely probably than any other two counties in the State. What is here said
of others equally applies to the paternal and maternal families of Albert Duret
Ogborn.
His great-great-grandfather, Caleb Ogborn, the first, was born in New Jersey
in the year 1729, and his great grandfather, Caleb Ogborn, the second, was born in
the same State in the year 1755. Both lived and died in their native State. Caleb
I igborn, the second, married Ann Parker in 1784. She was also a native of New
Jersey where she was born in the year 1759. Their son, Samuel Ogborn, the
grandfather of Albert D. Ogborn, was born at Egg Harbor, New Jersey, on
March 14, 1788. He moved from that State to Ohio in the year 1824 and tlience
to Wayne County, Indiana, in 1825, settling near Greensfork, where he died July
14. 1839. The grandmother, Esther (Andrews) Ogborn, wife of Samuel Ogborn.
was born in New Jersey. November 18, 1784. She died December 19, 1867, and
tlie remains of both herself and husband are buried in the old cemetery at Greens-
fork. They were all Quakers and their homes in New Jersey were not far
from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where at that time, the ' Quaker or Friends'
Church was predominant.
Esther Andrews was a descendant of Isaac Andrews, the first, and his wife,
I'Jizaheth Andrews. Their son, Isaac Andrews, the second, born in New Jerse\-.
688 hazzard's history of henry county.
September 21, 1749, married in June, 1771, Rebecca Evans, who was born in
Eversham, Burlington County, New Jersey, June 19, 1753. To this couple were
born November 18, 1784, the twin sisters, Hannah and Esther. Esther was mar-
ried at Egg Harbor, New Jersey, to Samuel Ogborn in the year 1810, and died
in Wayne County, Indiana, December 19, 1867. Of the children bom to Samuel
and Esther (Andrews) Ogborn, there was Edwin Eothergill Ogborn, father of
Albert Duret Ogborn, subject of this sketch; and Allen Ogborn. These were twin
brothers, born in New Jersey, August 25, 1816. Edwin Eothergill Ogborn died
in New Castle, July 4^ 1895. where he had resided for several years during the
latter part of his life. His remains lie buried in Sugar Grove Cemetery, near
Greensfork, Wayne County, Indiana.
On the maternal side, the great grandfather of Albert Duret Ogborn, was
David Bradbury, a native of Elizabeth, New Jersey. He was born October 13.
1760, and in later years moved to Warren County, Ohio, where he died May 7.
1824. He was a soldier of the Revolutionary War, who served five years and
among other engagements participated in the historic battles of Staten Island.
New York, and Monmouth, New Jersey, and camped with Washington at
Valley Forge. He never lived in Indiana except for a brief period in the Wabash
Valley. The great grandmother, Susannah (Craig) Bradbury, was born at
Elizabeth, New Jersey, April 27, 1762, and it was there she became the wife of
David Bradbury. She died in what is now Clay County, Indiana, May 17, 1819.
and is buried there.
Daniel Bradbury, the grandfather of Albert Duret Ogborn, was a native of
Warren County, Ohio, in the Northwest Territory. He was born September 2.2.
1800, and died May 29, 1882. He married Mary, daughter of Abraham and
Jean (Alexander) Elliott, at Jacksonburg, Wayne County, Indiana, August 13.
1821. She was born November 10, 1804, and died April 4, 1868. They are both
buried in the Sugar Grove Cemetery mentioned above. During his lifetime, nc
man in Wayne County probably was held in higher esteem by the people of
Eastern Indiana, among whom he had a wide acquaintance, than Daniel Brad-
bury. He was prominent in the affairs of the county. Of himself, he says in
a brochure, relating to the events of his life, entitled "Memoirs of Daniel Brad-
bury," published in 1879 : "I collected taxes, assessed property and appraised real
estate for twenty nine years." Again he says : "I have in my time filled a great
many offices of trust and among other things have settled ten estates, as executor
and administrator, and was requested to settle many more but declined." Starting
out in life for himself at the earlv age of eighteen years, he determined that his
conduct should be governed by the following rule : "I would not keep bad
company with male or female ; that I would not be a gambler or a drunkard and
would lead an honest life, all of which I have kept up to the present time ( not
even having drunk a dram as a beverage for over forty years) just entering on the
eightieth year of my age." He was a man of unusual parts, well informed, earnest
in his opinions, firm in his beliefs and possessed of a personal dignity and bearing
that won the respect and commendation of all.
His wife. Mary (Elliott) Bradbury, was a fit helpmeet of her husband. She
was a sister of the late Judge Jehu' T. Elliott. Mrs. Martin L. Bundy, Stephen
Elliott, and Elizabeth ("Aunty Betsy") Peed, the mother of Evan Peed, the well

known farmer, who is now and has been for several years the superintendent of
the Indiana State Agricuhural Society. Mrs.' Bradbury was quiet in demeanor,
possessed of a clear mind (a characteristic of her family), very domestic, very
charitable, and to her family, true, loving and devoted. Referring to the death
of his wife, Daniel Bradbury in his reminiscences above mentioned says: "She
had been an exemplary Christian from her youth, and had been a member of the
Old Christian Church since she was sixteen years old." They lived together, a
calm, quiet, peaceful life for a period of nearly forty seven years.
Jane (Bradbury) Ogborn, daughter of Daniel and Mary (Elliott) Bradbury,
was a native of Wayne County, Indiana, where she was born February 24, 1826;
she died September 10, 1882, and lies buried beside her husband in Sugar Grove
Cemetery, already mentioned. She was married to Edwin Fothergill Ogborn on
April 14, 1850, and to them were born the following named children: Matilda
C now Mrs. Matilda C. Wisehart, of Flagstafif, Arizona; Esther, afterwards
Mrs. William R. Wise, now deceased; Daniel B, of Lincoln, Nebraska; Charles
S., now deceased; Edwin C, now-living in New Castle; Melvina, died in infancy:
Albert Duret, the subject of this sketch; Vienna M., a resident of New Castle, and
housekeeper for her brother, Albert Duret; and John B., a citizen of Denver,
Colorado. These were the children of the second marriage of both parents. The
children of Edwin Fothergill Ogborn by a previous marriage were : Mrs. Gulia
Weyl, of Economy, Wayne County, Indiana; Mrs. Mary Tingley, of Fairfield,
Nebraska; Julia, afterwards Mrs. Samuel McCullough, deceased; and Allen
W., deceased. The latter was a member of Company B, 19th Indiana
Infantry, and was mortally wounded at the battle of Gettysburg, July
2. 1863; he died in the general hospital at Philadelphia, July 18, 1863. He was a
brave and gallant soldier. Jane (Bradbury) Ogborn was first married to James
Wilson and they were the parents of one child, a son, named Martin Luther, who
was a member of Company A, 36th Indiana Infantry. He died at Bufifalo,
Kentucky, February 17, 1862, while in the service of his countn,' during the
Civil War. Both of these patriotic soldiers are interred in Sugar Grove Cemetery,
near Greensfork. Wayne Count)', Indiana.
ALBERT DURET OGBORN.
Albert Duret Ogborn was born at the old homestead on his father's farm,
near Greensfork, Wayne County, Indiana, September 25, 1864, coming upon the
stage of life at the time when the United States was engaged in its great conflict
for unity and permanency. As child and youth and even to manhood, he remained
on the farm and under the parental roof. During those years, he attended regu-
larly, from term to term, the common schools of the neighborhood and acquired
the best education afforded by such institutions. On January 14, 1883. he came
to New Castle where he engaged in the sale of farm machinery until August,
1884, when he began to clerk in a shoe store. In March, 1886, as he himself
says, he "emigrated to Nebraska and returned in four weeks." The remainder of
the year 1886, he spent with his brother, Edwin C, who was then engaged in the
mercantile business at Arcanum, Ohio. In January, 1887, he took up the study of
stenography, pursuing the subject without the aid of a teacher, and in November
of that year, through the influence of Judge Eugene H. Bundy, he was appointed
storekeeper in the Northern Indiana Hospital for the Insane, at Logansport. He
690 hazzard's history uf henry county.
remained with that institution until May, 1889, when he resigned to accept the
position of reporter for the Henry Circuit Court. In connection with his duties
as reporter, he took up the abstract business and has now the only set of abstract
books in the county. He continued to hold the onerous position of reporter until
the Spring of 1902, except during the time he was engaged in the Spanish-
American War. \Mnle attending to his duties as reporter and abstracter, he
read law and was in 1894 admitted to the bar of the Henry Circuit Court, Judge
Eugene H. Bundy, presiding.
As a reporter, Mr. Ogborn had established an enviable reputation for rajjidity
and accuracy of service and was in the employ of the State Board of Tax Com-
missioners of Indiana at four annual sessions ; he was the official stenographer for
the United States Senate Committee on Territories, of which Senator Beveridge
is chairman, during a tour of Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Indian ter-
ritories, November, 1902, while they were making a special investigation of those
territories with reference to their admission as States of the Union, and in addition
on many occasions reported speeches and sermons.
When the Spanish-American War began. Albert D. Ogborn became the
prime mover in the recruiting and organizing of what afterwards became Company
G, 161 st Indiana Infantry. It was mustered into the service of the United States
July 12, 1898, and the entire regiment was mustered in at Indianapolis, July 15,
1898. The regiment remained in Camp Mount until August 11, 1898, when under
orders it moved to Jacksonville, Florida, where on arrival it was assigned to
the First Brigade. Tliird Division, Seventh Army Corps, under the command of
General Fitzhugh Lcc. The Third Nebraska, Colonel William Jennings Bryan
commanding, was a part of the brigade. The i6ist Indiana was afterwards
assigned to the First Brigade, Second Division of the Seventh Army Corps.
Remaining at Jacksonville until October, 1898, it then moved to Savannah,
Georgia, and on December 12th sailed from that point on the transport Sherman
to Havana, Cuba, where it landed and marched through the city went into camp
at Camp Columbia, Marianao, December 17, 1898, and there the regiment remained
until ordered home. It arrived in Savanah, Georgia, ]\Iarch 31. 1899, and was
mustered out there on April 30, 1899. A full and complete history of this
splendid regiment will be found in chapter XXXI of this work, entitled the
"Spanish- American War." The history of the regiment is the military history of
Captain Albert D. Ogborn.
In 1900 Captain Ogborn was elected State Senator for the district composed
of the counties of Henry, Fayette and Union, and served in the sessions of the
General Assembly of 1901 and 1903. He was chairman of the Committee on
^Military Affairs : also of the Committee on Enrolled Bills ; and was a member of
the committees on Benevolent Institutions, Public Health, Insurance. Roads, and
Congressional Apportionment, during the session of 1901. In the session of 1903.
he was chairman of the Committee on Railroads, and a member of the committees
on Rules, Finance, Roads, Federal Relations, Public Health, and Legislative Ap-
portionment. Captain Ogborn took a prominent part in the conduct gf legislative
affairs both in committee and on the floor, every matter coming before the Senate
for its action receiving his closest attention.
Prior to the Spanish-American War, Albert D. Ogborn had gained con-

siderable knowledge of military tactics from the fact that he had been for a number
of years a member of the Uniformed Rank, Knights of Pythias, which is an
organization patterned after that of the United States Arm}-. He commanded,
first, the New Castle Company, for a short time, and then for a period of five
vears was Lieutenant Colonel, and then for four years. Colonel of the Third
Indiana Regiment of that organization. He did not surrender his command at
the time of entering the United States service during the Spanish- American ^^'ar.
but was simply granted leave of absence, resuming the command on his return
from the war. He was afterwards Colonel and Chief of Staff of Brigadier
(jeneral Harry B. Smith, commanding the Indiana brigade. Unite }rni Rank.
Kjiights of Pythias. After returning from the Spanish-American War, at the
earnest solicitation of Governor James A. Mount, Captain Ogborn organized a
company of militia which was mustered into the service of the State on Septem-
ber 26, 1899, and was disbanded at the end of its three years' term of service. He
resigned his captaincy in 1900 and went to Chicago to become the confidential secre-
tar\- of Captain Harry S. New, of the Executive Committee of the Republican
National Committee. In the campaign of 1904, Captain Ogborn occupied a like
position under Captain New who was vice chairman of the Republican National
Committee, and in charge of Western Headquarters.
Besides the military service of Captain Albert D. Ogborn as related above,
his brother, Daniel Bradbury Ogborn. has followed the colors. He ran away from
home, immediately after the Custer Massacre, and enlisted in Troop E. Fifth
Cavalrv U. S. A., and took part in the relief expedition to the Big Horn Country
where the brave General Custer and his entire command had been wiped out by the
hostile Indians, lead by the bloodthirsty chief, Sitting Bull.
Mrs. Tingley's son, Edwin Ogborn Tingley, was a member of the First
Nebraska Volunteers in the Spanish- American War. He served in the Philippines
and was dangerously wounded in one of the battles of the Aguinaldo Insurrection.
Mrs. Weyl's son, John Allen Weyl, enlisted April 26, 1898, in the I'nited
States Heavy Artillery and served during the Spanish-American War. being
stationed at Fort Myer on the Potomac River, near Washington, D. C. He
afterwards enlisted in the Thirty Urst L". S. A'olunteers and served in the Philip-
pines during the insurrection in those islands.
Not to be outdone in loyalty to the flag, Daniel Dradbur}- Ogborn's son, Clyde
C. ei-rfisted in Company G, i6ist Indiana Infantry, but much to his regret was
rejected by the mustering officer, as he was not able to ])ass the physical
examination.
Besides the foregoing, two uncles and six cousins of Captain Ogborn took
part in the Civil War. but at this date the details of their service are not obtainable.
Though the Ogborn famih-, on the paternal side; is descended from a long
line of Quaker ancestors to whom warfare is forbidden, yet their love of country
has overtopped the formal dictates of religious faith. They have performed well
their part in the service of their common country, like their maternal ancestor,
David Bradbury, with his five years of service in the Revolutionary Vv'ar, that
rable confiict which determined the destinv and civilization of the western

the first" tract of land in Henry County, but little more than seven years had
ilapsed. This first entry of land by Owen bears the date of February 4, 182 1.
The great majority of the veterans of that war were young men and many
of them secured grants of land by reason of their military ser\nce. A number
nought and found homes in Henry County. One of the most considerable of these
was Colonel Jesse Ice. who was a Captain in the army of General Harrison, and

conduct.

During the administration of Governor James Wliitcomb the war with
]\Iexico occurred, which resulted in annexing to the United States vast tracts of
land in the South and West. Indiana contributed her full ratio to the troops in
that war, and with a remarkable spirit of promptness and patriotism adopted all
measures to sustain the general Government. These new acquisitions of ter-
ritory re-opened the discussion of the slavery question, and Governor Whitcomb
expressed his opposition to a further extension of^the "national sin."
The causes which led to a declaration of war against Mexico in 1846, must
be sought for as far back as the year 1830, when the present State of Texas
formed a province of New and Independent Mexico. During the years imme-
diately preceding 1830, Moses Austin, of Connecticut, obtained a liberal grant of
lands from the established Government, and on his death his son was treated in an
equally liberal manner. The glowing accounts rendered by Austin, and the vivid
picture of Elysian fields by visiting journalists, soon resulted in the influx of a
large tide of immigrants, nor did the movement to the Southwest cease until 1830.
The Mexican province held a prosperous population, comprising 10,000 American
citizens. The rapacious Government of the Mexicans looked with greed and
jealousy upon their eastern province, and, under the presidency of General Santa
Anna, enacted such measures, botli unjust and oppressive, as would meet their
design of goading the people of Texas on to revolution, and thus afford an
opportunity for the infliction of punishment upon subjects whose crime was
industry and its accompaniment, prosperity. Precisely in keeping with the course
pursued by the British toward the colonists of the Eastern States in the last cen-
tury, Santa Anna's Government met the remonstrances of the colonists of Texas
with threats ; and they, secure in their consciousness of right, quietly issued their
declaration of independence, and proved its literal meaning on the field of Gonzales
in 1833, having with a force of 500 men forced the Mexican army of 1,000 to flee
for refuge to their strongholds. Battle after battle followed, bringing victory
always to the Colonists, and ultimately resulting in the total rout of the ?^Iexican
arm\- and the evacuation of Texas. The routed armv after a short term of rest

reorganized, and reappeared in the Territory, S.ocxd strong. On April 21, a
division of this large force under Santa Anna encountered the Texans under
General Samuel Houston on the ba'nks of the San Jacinto, and though Houston
could only oppose 800 men to the Mexican legions, the latter were driven from
the field, nor could they reform their scattered ranks until their General was cap-
tured the next day and forced to sign the declaration of 1835. The signature of
Santa Anna, though ignored by the Congress of the Mexican Republic, and con-
sequently left unratified on. the part of Mexico, effected so much, that after the
second defeat of the army of the Republic all the hostilities of an important nature
ceased, the Republic of Texas was recognized by the powers, and 'subsequently
becanle an integral part of the United States, July 4, 1846. At this period General
Herrera was president of Mexico. He was a man of peace, of common sense, and
very patriotic ; and he entertained, or pretended to entertain, the great neighboring
Republic in high esteem. For this reason he grew unpopular with his people,
and General Paredes was called to the presidential chair, which he continued' to
occupy until the breaking out of actual hostilities with the United States, when
General Santa Anna was elected thereto.
Captain Pyrrhus Woodward, a soldier of two wars, having served in the
Mexican War, as Orderly Sergeant, Company H, 5th Indiana Infantry, and in the
Civil War, as Captain, Coni])any C. 36th Indiana Infantry, a full biographical
sketch of whom is published in this History (Chapter XMI). left, among his
papers rel;iiiiiL: to ilu Mexican War. in three parts, a full account of "Henry
County's conlrilnition to the history of that sanguinary contest."'
Captain Woodward was th^ paternal uncle of the author o'f this History, and
it was at his house that the latter was making his home when the Civil War began,
and became a soldier in the company commanded by Captain \\^oodward.
The papers relating to the Mexican War, prepared by the last named, have
been furnished to the author for publication in this History by the daughter of
Captain Woodward, Mrs. Belle Springer, of New Castle, and here follow in their
several i)arts.
The admission of Texas, which had previously ileclared its independence, into
rhe Union in 1845, was the beginning of unfrieiitll\- relations between the United
States and Mexico. The western boundary of lite new State was in dispute, and
its annexation to the United States was regarded as an unfriendly act liy our
neighboring Republic. Our Government sent General Taylor into the iiewl\-
acquired territory with an army of occupation. On the 28th of March, 1846,
General Taylor took up his position on the Rio Grande, opposite ^latamoras. On
the 1 2th of April General Ampudia. the Mexican General, notified Taylor to retire
beyond the Xueces River, which the Mexican Government claimed was the
western boundary of Texas. General Taylor did not heed the notice, but sent a
force of sixty three dragoons to ascertain whether the ^Mexican troops had crossed
the Rio Grande. A strong Mexican force fell upon this small body of troops
and after killing and wounding seventeen of them, forced the Americans to sur-
render. This was the first act of bloodshed, and when the news of the affair
reached the United States, the excitement rose to a high pitch.
On ]\lay 8. 1846. General Taylor fought the battle of Palo .\lto and on the
HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY
703
clay following the battle of Resaca de la Palma. These battles were fought upon
Texas soil and in both engagements, the American troops were victorious. On
-May 16, Congress formally declared war. General Taylor crossed the Rio
( Irande on May 18, and in September following defeated the Mexicans at Mon-
terey. On the 23d of February, 1847, the American Army, under Taylor, en-
countered the Mexican Army, commanded by Santa Anna, at Buena Vista, and
although the American forces were outnumbered four to one, won a decisive
victory, which gave the Americans the possession of the northeastern part of
Mexico.
The second American Army consisting of about 13,000 men, under the com-
mand of General Scott, landed near Vera Cruz on March 9, 1847, and after a
short siege of the city, captured the strong fortress of San Juan de Ulloa on
March 27. The Army of General Scott pressed forward towards the City of
Mexico, two hundred and sixtv miles from the coast, successfully fighting the
liattles of Cerro Gordo, Contreras, Churubusco. }\Iolino del Rey, and Chapultepec,
and on the morning of September 14, the victorious American army entered the
City of Mexico and the American flag floated over the National Palace of Mexico.
Under the act of Congress, approved May 13, 1846, providing for the organi-
z:ition of volunteer troops. Governor Whitcomb had issued a proclamation calling
fi>r volunteers and the First, Second and Third Regiments of Indiana Volunteers
had been organized in 1846, and had promptly gone to the seat of war. The popu-
lar sentiment of the North was by no means unanimously favorable to the war,
for its was- believed by many that its ultimate object was the acquisition of ter-
ritory in the interests of slavery. And while the sentiment of Henry County was
not strongly favorable to the war, yet earl}- in 1847, a company composed of
about sixty members was recruited at New Castle and vicinity. As my grand-
father, Thomas Woodward had served in the RevohitiMuarx Arm\ and Asahel
Woodward, my father, had been a soldier' in Captain Sloan's company, from
(")hio. in the War of 1812, it was, perhaps, only natural that I should desire to
enter the army, for I was then quite a young man, and I took an active part in
recruiting this company, and I might say that I was in about as much danger, on
line or two occasions, from angry wives and mothers who thought I was trying
to persuade their husbands and sons to volunteer, as I afterwards encountered in
Mexico. This company organized by electing, as Captain, Mathew S. Ward, a
bright young lawyer of New Castle, who afterwards removed to !\Iississippi and
became a Major of artillery in the Confcilc-vatr aniiv. Henry Shroyer was elected
First Lieutenant and I was chosen Secmhl 1 .initni.int. The services of the com-
pany were not accepted because at the time the State's quota was full.
The Fifth Regiment of Indiana was organized in October, 1847. Captain
Ebenezer Gary of ]\Iarion had recruited about forty men in Grant County, and on
October 4, 1847, this body of men came to New Castle in wagons, en route to
Indianapolis. At New Castle, the following persons from Henry County joined
Captain Gary's company : Finley Adams, Elam .\rmfield, James N. Gary, Harvey
Copeland, Charles Fifer, Norviel Fleming, Jeremiah Gossett: David Harker,

HAZZARDS HISTURV OI' HEXKV COUNTY.
The greater number of those who enlisted in Captain Gary's company, from
Henr\- County, were from Fall Creek Township. George W. Thompson and
David Marker were from Harrison Township; James A. Schuman from Prairie
Township; Elam Armfield from Greensboro Township; Abner Phillips and
Harvey Copeland from Henry Township ; James N. Gary was from Knightstovvn.
Richard Webster and myself were from New Castle. Amos Brown, a bright
voung colored man, twenty three years of age, and nearly white, from Fall Creek
Township, also joined the company in the capacity of officer's cook. The ages of
the men who enlisted from Henry County, as shown by the muster-out rolls now
on file in the office of the Adjutant General at Indianapolis, and which have been
consulted in the praparation of this article were as follows : Finley Andrews, 20 :
Elam Armfield, 25; James N. Gary. 24; Harvey Copeland. 19; Charles Fifer, 24:
Xorviel Fleming, 18; Jeremiah Gossett. 32; David Harker, 19; Chapman iMann.

man, i8;^Henry Shank, 29; George Tarkleson, 43; George W. Thompson, 21-.
David Warner, 21 ; Richard Webster, 21 ; Pyrrhus Woodward. 25.
Dr. James W. Montgomery, of L.ewisville, well known to the older citizens of
Franklin Township, had enlisted in another company of the Fifth Regiment and
William D. Schuman, of Prairie Township, and a brother of James .\. Schuman
had previously enlisted in another regiment.
Captain Gary's company remained in New Castle over night, and on OctolxT
5, departed for Indianapolis in wagons, going by the way of Knightstown and
Greenfield. With the addition of the Henry County recruits the company had
about sixty members. On the first night after leaving New Castle we stopped at
Greenfield and were taken to the home of the citizens. The next day we reached
Indianapolis, where we took the train for Madison, Indiana, going by the new
railroad, which had just been completed. Here we went into camp where several
companies had preceded us.
The commissioned officers of the company had been selected before the coni-
pany'left Marion and were as follows: Captain, Ebenezer Gary; First Lieutenant.
Thomas F. Marshall; Second Lieutenant, David Shunk; additional Second Lieu-
tenant. Joseph W. riiillidax'. .\t Madison, about tvv"enty recruits from Jefferson
County were assigned to our company which now had its full complement of men.
The non-commissioned officers of the company were selected at Madison and I was
chosen second, or duty, sergeant and Henry Shank third duty sergeant. Captain
Gary's company was mustered into the service of the L^nited States on October
14. 1847, as Company H. of the Fifth Regiment of Indiana Foot Volunteers, as
the regiment was designated on the records of the Adjutant General's office. The
members of the various companies were in the main young men, and imbued
\vit]i a lofty spirit of patriotism. The stern realities of war had not yet worn
oft' the glamour which surrounds a soldier'» life and every company in camp had
chosen a name, illustrating at once the ardor as well as the light hearted en-
thusiasm of new troops, and by these names the different companies were
designated upon 'the rolls. The Indiana Guards, from Vernon, commanded by
Captain Horace Hull, were mustered as Company A; Captain George Greene's
Rough and Ready Guards from Qnarlestown became Company B ; the Covington
Guards from Madison, commanded by Captain Robert M. Evans, became Com-
HAZZARDS HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
705
pany C; the Hancock B'hoys from Greenfield, commanded by Captain James R.
Bracken, were mustered as Company D ; the Shelbyville Hards from Shelbyville,
commanded by Captain Samuel McKinsey, became Company E : the Centre
Guards from Madison, commanded by Captain John McDougall, became Com-
pany F; Grabbers No. 2, from Lawrenceburg, commanded by Captain Aaron C.
Gibbs, were mustered as Company G. Our own Company H, was known as the
Washington Guards. The Montgomery boys from Crawfordsville, commanded
by Captain Allen T^Iay, were mustered as Company I and the Wayne Guards from
Madison, commanded by Captain David W. Lewis, as Company K.
The organization of the Fifth Regiment was completed at Madison and our
regimental' officers were James H. Lane, Colonel; Allen May, Lieutenant Colonel;
John M. Myers, Major; James Baker, was Regimental Quartermaster; James S.
Athon, Surgeon and John M. Lord Adjutant. Colonel Lane had entered the
army as Captain of the Dearborn Volunteers and had seen service in the Third
Regiment, before he became Colonel of the Fifth. He was thirty three years old,
a handsome man and a gallant soldier. His subsequent brilliant but stormy
career in Kansas and Missouri is well known. Captain Alay of Company J. re-
cruited at Crawfordsville, was promoted to be Lieutenant Colonel and Lieutenant
^lahlon D. Manson, afterwards a distinguished officer in the Civil War became
Captain of the company. John M. Myers, Major, was twenty-seven years of age,
and a very competent officer. A few of the companies were jnot full and according
to E. D. Mansfield's History of the Mexican War, the roster of the Fifth Regi-
ment showed "973 men. The First, Second and Third Regiments of Lidiana had
enlisted for one year, but the enlistment of the Fourth and Fifth Regiments was
for the war.
We remained in camp at Madison about three weeks where we received our
uniforms, which were of dark blue cloth, something like those worn in the late
war, and we wore caps. The light blue overcoats worn during the late war, were
very similar to those issued to our regiment. A letter bearing date October 15,
1857, in the New Albany Democrat and reproduced in the Indiana State Sentinel
of October 23, gives a view of the Fifth Regiment at Madison as follows : "Nine
companies have arrived and been mustered into the service. The last one, Captain
Gary's company from Grant County, was mustered in last evening. All the
companies are now in camp and comprise in all something like 700 men, and
recruiting for the various companies is going on rapidly. Every one about the
camp is in the highest spirits. Every volunteer is elated with the hope of soon
leaving that they may aid their fellow soldiers in subduing our treacherous and
obstinate foe and share in the revels in the halls of the Montezumas — that all ab-
sorbing desire of the volunteer that is now being realized in the City of the
Aztecs. The clothing of the different companies is going on rapidly and will be
completed by the last of next week at farthest." A contemporary notice of the
Fifth Regiment in the Madison Courier is as follows : "During the time this body
of men have been encamped here, they have conducted themselves with great
propriety, and their conduct has reflected credit on the character of the volunteer.
Take them all in all, they are a fine looking body of men and appear competent to
do good service in the field."
On Sunday, being the last day of October, or the first day of November, the
Vo6 HAZZARD S HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
regiment left Madison for New Orleans. Three steamboats, the Ne Plus Ultra,
the Phoenix and the Wave were necessary to transport the regiment down the
river. Companies C, H and I, under command of Major Myers, went on the
Wave. Company K, not having arrived in camp in time, did not go with the
regiment. Our journey of ten days down the Mississippi was a delightful one,
in a delightful season of the year, and marred only by flie death of our comrade,
David Warner, who fell overboard in the night and was drowned. The boat
proceeded on its way, and there was much indignation among the men toward
the captain of the boat because he did not stop the vessel and allow the body to
be recovered. This sad accident brought to our minds some realization of the
horrors of war.
CHir regiment remained a day and a night at New Orleans. I regret to
say, that while here, two members of Company H, from Henry County, deserted.
Their names are not included in the list of volunteers from Henry County and
are wholly suppressed in this article. One of them was a young painter who had
come to New Castle a short time previous to his enlistment. I knew him slightly
and while at Greenfield, on our way to Indianapolis, we took a walk together. He
called my attention to a ring on his finger and gave me the name and address of
a lady, and asked me, if he should be killed in battle, to send her the ring; and
if he should be so badlv shot to pieces as to be unrecognizable, he stated that I
might recognize him by an artificial tooth. I think the fellow so brooded over
the possibility of being shot to pieces that he thought the Crescent City an excellent
place in which to disappear from sight and avoid such a horrible fate. We never
heard of him afterward. The other member of the company who deserted was
of a good family and his comrades could never understand why he did so dis-
creditable -a thing. At ^ladison I had been detailed as Commissary Sergeant of
the regiment, and at New Orleans, I separated for a time from m\- company.
Several companies of the Fifth Regiment, myself with them, embarked on the
steamer Alabama for Vera Cruz. The remaining companies sailed on another
vessel. Our voyage across the Gulf of Mexico, lasting some five or six days, was a
stormy one. During the height of the storm, there was scarcely a man who did
not feel that our vessel would go down. I remember that many of the boys, while
the waves surged over the ship, most devoutly prayed, while others sang that
good old song, "The Star of Bethlehem." When the waves calmed and the
glorious sunshine appeared. I think many good resolutions were forgotten, but
it is ever so.
About the middle of November, we came in sight of the grim walls of San
Juan de Ulloa, the Mexican fortress defending the city of Vera Cruz, which had
been captured by General Scott's army, assisted by the naval forces, seven months
before. The sight of land was a joyous one to us after our stormy voyage, even
though it was the land of the enemy, but we knew that a friendly garrison was
within the walls of the city. Our regiment remained in Yera. Cruz several days,
and here we received our arms, which were the old flint-lock muskets.
\'era Cruz was an ancient walled city built by the Spanish invader Cortez.
the walls of the city being fortified at inter^'als. On an island about half a mile out
in the Gulf stood the famous fortress of San Juan de Ulloa. This was an enclosed
fortification of large size, but the fortress had been captured by Scott's army with-
hazzard's history of henry county. 707
out serious difficulty. Everything was new to us ; and here, for the first time, we
saw the dark-eyed ^Mexican senoritas of whom we had heard much. The houses
were principally two stories high and the streets narrow. There was a fine
cathedral here, and the members of the regiment, when not engaged in military
duties, spent the time sight-seeing. Nothing here impressed me so much as the
vast, illimitable ocean, and almost daily I walked with comrades out upon the
^lole, a structure built of stone and cement and extending into the Gulf. L'pon
the occasion of our first promenade upon the Mole, not understanding the in-
fluence of the tides, we were nearly swept ofif our feet by the sudden appearance of
the waves, to the great amusement of the Mexicans who witnessed our discomfit-
ure. The yellow fever and black vomit prevailed in Vera Cruz almost the entire
vear, and our regiment was anxious to penetrate the interior.
We now began our long march to the City of ^lexico which General Scott
had occupied six weeks before. The Fifth regiment had been assigned to a brigade
with the Third Tennessee regiment, commanded by Colonel Cheatham, afterwards
a distinguished officer in the Confederate army. For the first few miles out from
Vera Cruz, the scenery was uninteresting. The country was sparsely inhabited,
and to our surprise and regret, it was not a land flowing with milk and honey,
and the most active foraging parties met with but little success, but pulque, the
native drink of the ]\Iexicans, was plentiful and was prescribed by our surgeons.
It was mildly intoxicating, and the use of any other kind of liquors was vers-
unsafe for Americans. It was a common saying in our army that the first case of
intoxication for a soldier sent him to the hospital and the second case was certain
death.
W'e marched in light marching order, for during the day it was oppressively
hot, but the nights were always cool and we slept under our blankets. The country
was filled with roving bodies of Mexican cavalry called Lancers and with numer-
ous bands of guerrillas, but the strong holds of the enemy were in possession of
our troops. Each company of the regiment had a wagon in which its tents and
cooking utensils were conveyed. Our rations were crackers, bacon and cofifee.
It was asserted that some of the cracker boxes bore the date of 1835, while others
contended that the crackers were a remnant left from the battle of New Orleans.
The Fifth Indiana led the advance. Then came the wagon train and the
Third Tennessee brought up the rear. No cavalry or artillery accompanied our
command. We marched in close order and the two regiments were always within
easy supporting distance. This was necessary, for as we proceeded on our
march, bodies of Mexican Lancers, sometimes 4,000 or 5,000 in number, often
appeared in sight, but as frequently disappeared, without giving us battle. The
Lancers were armed with lances and short carbines. They wore gray uniforms,
leather leggings and gray sojubrcivs and were mounted on sorn,- little half-starved
horses, which bore little comparison with the fine, large horses of our
army. They were picturesque horsemen, but poor soldiers. With the enthusiasm
of new troops, we were anxious for battle, but before we could effectively fight
with our flint-lock muskets, we would have to approach so near the enemy as to
7o8 HAZZARDS HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
see the white of their eyes. The Mexicans, to our regret, never allowed us to
get SO close.
Our inarch was over the great national highway from the coast to the interior
and over the same road along which General Scott's victorious army had marched.
Thirty-five miles from Vera Cruz, we crossed La Puenta Nacional, a splendid
bridge, spanning Rio Antiqua. From now on, the scenery was fine, our march
being through an undulating country with shade trees and mixed chapparral on
either side of the road. We marched from ten to thirty miles a day, depending
upon circumstances. If. in the middle of the afternoon, we discovered a fine
spring of water near our line of inarch, we selected a site for a camp near by.
Otherwise our march was prolonged until a suitable camping place was found
when we pitched our tents and built our camp fires. Strict discipline was main-
tained, yet the nights in camp were always happy and full of the pleasures and
diversions of army camp life.
The first important point we passed through was Jalapa, sixty five miles from
the coast. This was a city of about g,ooo inhabitants. It was neat and clean, and
there were many handsome buildings here, surrounded with orange groves and
lovely gardens filled with fruits and flowers. The climatic fevers which prevail
on the coasts, were much less fatal to Americans after reaching Jalapa. Here our
regiment and the Third Tennessee went into camp for a week. Cerro Gordo is a
high spur of the Cordilleras Mountains, fifteen miles east of Jalapa, and General
Santa Anna, commander of the Mexican Army, had selected this point as one
having great natural advantages for defense against the invading army, but the
battle fought here on the i8th of April had resulted in a decisive victory for the
American Army.
After a week in camp, we proceeded on our march. Extensive provision
trains, carrying supplies to our army in the City of Mexico, wound their slow
length along over the broad macadamized road from the coast to the capital, and
we crossed several splendid bridges, magnificent specimens of architecture. The
Fifth Indiana and Third Tennessee, marched in friendly concord, little con-
scious of the fact that in less than fifteen years the North and South would be
arrayed against each other in deadly conflict. The country was not populous and
the inhabitants lived principally in the pueblos or towns and villages. The
grandees or owners of the soil, had comfortable habitations, but the peons or
slaves, who composed the vast body of the people, and toiled for their masters,
lived in mere hovels. The next important town on the line of our march, after
leaving Jalapa was Perote. There was a strong fortification here, known as the
Castle of Perote, being next in straigth to San Juan de Ulloa.
After the capture of the City of Mexico, the Alexican Army was divided into
detachments which harrassed our army and endeavored to destroy General Scott's
line of communication with Vera Cruz, and in December a Mexican force besieged
Puebla then held by our troops. The march of our brigade was now rapid in the
direction of the beleaguered city, but before our arrival the garrison had marched
out of their fortifications and defeated the Mexicans who hastily withdrew.
The country grew more fruitful as we advanced and occasional foraging
parties now went out, but had always to be on the lookout for the Mexican Lan-
cers, who continued to hover on our line of march. I remember that upon one
HAZZARDS HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY. 709
occasion on our march. Captain Manson of Company I was so ill that Ik- had
been obliged to ride in an ambulance, but when the enemy's cavalry came in sight
and a fight seemed imminent, he alighted from the ambulance with difficulty and
placed himself at the head of his company, much to the disappointment, as I
afterwards heard, of the First Lieutenant, who had hoped to command the com-
pany in case of an attack.
After a forced march of several days our brigade marched into Puebla. The
Fourth Indiana Regiment, commanded by Colonel Gorman, and a body of regular
troops were stationed here, and the beleagured garrison had only three or four
days before our arrival repulsed the Mexicans. Here I met Oliver H. P. Cary
and Decatur Car\-, brothers and members of the Fourth Regiment, both of whom
I had previously known, for they had both lived at Knightstown and afterwards
removed to Grant County. They were brothers of Captain Ebenezer G. Gary, who
commanded our company and also of James N. Gary, a member of our company
from Henry County. These four brothers held a happy family reunion here.
Later on, I met in the City of Mexico another brother, John T. Cary, who was
serving in the regular army. Fourteen years later, Oliver H. P. Cary and I again
marched under the flag, L as Captain of Company C of the Thirty Sixth Regiment
of Indiana, and he, as the Lieutenant Colonel of the regiment. He was a brave
and gallant soldier.
The. city of Puebla is the capital of the State of Puebla and the second city in
population in the Republic. The city was situated upon a vast plain 7,000 feet
high, and while wholly within the torrid zone is called tierras frias or cold lands.
Wheat of fine quality. Indian corn, barley and fruits peculiar to this region, grew
in abundance here. The country around is volcanic and there was little beauty of
foliage. The cactus called the prickly pear was frequent and there were some
palm trees growing along our line of march. In the neighborhood of Puebla
were many cultivated fields, but the methods of farming were most primitive. The
native Mexican plowed with oxen using a plow similar to those used 2,000 years
ago. He seemed to have no desire for better methods and looked with contempt
upon all improvements. We had now reached a volcanic region, and near our
line of march, after leaving Puebla, we passed a slumbering volcano from which
smoke was issuing. Several members of our company ascended the mountain
and looked into the crater, but I did not.
Our march after leaving Puebla was through Plan del Rio Frio. The pass of
Rio Frio afforded excellent opportunities of defence. Neither ancient Greece nor
Switzerland with their mountain defiles ofifered better opportunities for repelling
an invader. As Mr. Marcy the Secretary of War said : "Perhaps no country
interposed so many and such formidable obstacles to the progress of an invading
army as Mexico." Santa Anna determined to make a stand at the fortified camp
of Contreras and on the heights of Chrurubusco. not far from the City of Mexico.
But, with all the advantages of their position. General Scott attacked the Mexican
strongholds and had won decisive victories at Contreras and Churubusco on the
20th of August.
Shortly after passing through the village of Rio Frio, the plain of Mexico
burst upon our view. In the distance was the historic city with its lofty steeples,
its modern splendor and ancient magnificence. Upon every side were its mag-

nificent lakes. The view was strand and an air of romance gave everything a
vivid coloring. The great lake Tezcuco lay to the east. To the south, we beheld
in the hazy distance, the extinct volcano of Popocatapetl. We were strangely
happy. It was the land of romance surrounded with the glamour of war.
Our regiment had been anxious to reach the City of Mexico before Christ-
mas, and in the afternoon of December 23, our march of two hundred and sixty
miles from Vera Cruz to the capital came to an end. and with bayonets gleaming
in the sunlight we joyfully entered the historic city of the Aztecs and later of the
Spaniard. Our regiment marched to the famous old Convent of Santa Clara,
where we were quartered. The convent was a two story building, and occupied,
as I now remember, a square. The interior was a court-yard with a fountain, and
there were walks lined with flowers. There were numerous apartments in the
convent and these were occupied by the diflferent companies, the ofificers occupying
for their quarters, separate apartments. A portion of the convent completely
separated from our quarters was occupied by nuns and Sisters of Charity.
Everything, to us, was new and strange. The people, the language, the styles
of architecture, the manners and customs, profoundly impressed us. No city upon
the continent possessed a histors' so strange and romantic. Its antiquity was
venerable, and long before the discovery of America a high state of civilization
had existed here. The history of the city goes back as far as 1325 or 1327, when
the Aztecs were directed after their long wanderings to settle here. A century
later, with the progress of Aztec culture, the city had greatly improved and the
rude habitations of early times were replaced with splendid stone structures built
principally upon the small islands of Lake Tezcuco. The Spanish invader Cortes
caj'tured the city in 1520. It had then reached its highest splendor and contained
500,000 inhabitants. Numerous canals intersected the city which was connected
with the mainland by splendidly constructed causeways. Montezuma, descended
from an ancient imperial race, was emperor. Cortes, its conqueror, described the
city as "like a fairy creation rather than the work of mortal hands." Two years
after its capture the city was almost wholly destroyed. The city as we saw it was
rebuilt on the same site, although Lake Tezcuco seems to have greatly subsided.
From 1521- to 1821 Mexico was a dependency of Spain. It was a countrv filled
with gold and silver, and its inhabitants were looked upon by their conquerors
as slaves fit only to dig the precious metals out of the earth and pour them into
the Spanish treasury. For three hundred years viceroys from Spain governed the
City of Mexico and the surrounding country, living in kingly splendor ; but in
1821 the Mexicans threw ofif the yoke of Spain. But the Spanish civilization,
modified by the traditions and superstitions of the Aztecs, had left its indelible
impress upon the great city. It was the romantic history of the Aztecs, and the
sight of the mountains and lake in the midst of which they had dwelt, that
inspired a young lieutenant of the Third Regiment of Indiana, commissioned as
Lewis Wallace, to write the beautiful story of "The Fair God."
The modern City of Mexico as we beheld it contained more than 100,000
inhabitants and was 7,500 feet above the sea-level. Its streets all ran at right
angles and its main thoroughfares converged on the central Plaza or Main Square.
The plaza contained fourteen acres artistically laid out and filled with trees and
flowers and adorned with marble fountains. The public buildings were built upon
HAZZARDS HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.

the plaza, and towering above the g-oveniment buildings and facing to the North
was the great Cathedral, the largest church in America. This magnificent edifice
was begun in 1573 and completed in 1657. On the east side of the plaza was the
National Palace, with a frontage of 657 feet. This building was formerly the
residence of the Spanish viceroys, but was then occupied by the government
ofifices and contained the government archives. The Mexican Congress also con-
vened in the building. One half of the city seemed to be composed of convents,
churches and other ecclesiastical structures. But with all the splendor of the
buildings on the plaza, the buildings in the outskirts of the city were principally
one-story houses and mere hovels. One singular thing which we noticed was that
there were no chimneys and I did not see a grate or stove while in the citv. The
people warmed and cooked by ovens and the smoke escaped through openings
in the roof.
There were some fine promenades in the city. One was the famous Alameda,
planted with stately beeches. Another fine avenue extended out to the Castle of
Chapultepec. Along these promenades and in the plaza the soldiers were accus-
tomed to saunter. The back streets were very narrow and the sidewalks just
wide enough for two. It was the custom of the soldiers to go in twos, and when
they met a Mexican he was usually shoved into the street. Fully one half of the
population were full-blooded Indians, descendants of the aboriginal inhabitants;
about a fourth were half-breeds, being half Spanish and half Indian. The re-
mainder were pure whites, descendants of the Spanish conquerors.
Our surroundings at Santa Clara were very pleasant, yet two things made our
lot less agreeable. We were unacclimated, and on account of the exhalations from
the lakes and the bad sanitary condition of the city, much sickness prevailed, and
many members of the regiment were sent to the hospital. Our rations were also
far from satisfactory both as to quantity and ciuality.
For several reasons our army, while in the City of Mexico, was poorly fed and
poorly clad. One of the reasons for this state of afifairs was the great distance
from the base of supplies and the difficulties in the matter of transportation. To
our scanty rations of hard bread, bacon and coffee, a limited supply of Me.xican
beef was added, but we were still inadequately supplied, and there was considerable
dissatisfaction throughout the regiment. Colonel Lane was a good officer but a
strict disciplinarian, and on this account, was not, in the beginning of our service,
altogether popular with the men just out of civil life and unused to military re-
straints, and while the Colonel was young in years as well as in appearance, he
was known throughout the regiment as "Old Jim."
One day the members of Company H held a meeting in the old convent and
passed some resolutions respecting our limited supply of rations. While this pro-
ceeding was altogether unmilitary, yet the resolutions were respectful and called
upon our commanding officer to remedy the evil, if possible. As I was now
orderly sergeant I was designated to present the resolutions to Colonel Lane.
With a good deal of trepidation, I went to headquarters. Saluting the Colonel,
I briefly stated the object of my visit and presented the resolutions. He was rather
curt, but read the communication carefully. He then turned the paper over and
wrote that he had done everything possible to secure better rations for the men,
and had importuned and even demanded of the commissary department better
HAZZARDS HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
supplies, but without avail. He then ordered me to form the company in line
and read his communication to the men. I did so, and reports of the affair spread
throughout the regiment, and while our rations were not increased the Colonel's
popularity steadily grew.
Amos Brown, the young colored man from Fall Creek Township, continued
to act as cook for the officers of Company H. He had always desired to be regu-
larly mustered into the service and the officers of the company were not unwilling
to have him paid by the Government, rather than out of their own pockets. As
I was supposed to have some prejudices on the color line, some of the members
of the company, while in the City of Mexico, asked me to interpose no objections
to his being mustered into the service, and I made none, and on December 31,
as shown by the muster rolls, Brown was mustered into the service of the United
States as a member of our company. And thus a colored man from Henry
County tiecame a soldier fifteen years before colored men were enlisted in the
great Civil War.
On Sundays many members of the regiment attended the old cathedrals and
beheld for the first time, the impressive religious ceremonies of the Catholic
Church, while others attended in the afternoon the bull fights and witnessed the
exciting contests of the arena, which never failed to attract the attendance of the
Mexican aristocracy. Many members of the regiment, most of whom were
unmarried, cultivated the acquaintance of the senoritas many of whom were
handsome, with their dark eyes and olive tints, but the freedom of their manners
was always a complete surprise to an American. Even the higher classes of
Mexican women who were supposed to live most secluded lives, restrained by
the traditional customs of the Spanish race and the most punctilious forms of
etiquette, were nothing averse to little flirtations with our soldiers.
As upon shipboard, the slightest incidents relieve the monotony, so, unim-
portant incidents in our garrison life varied the monotony from day to day. While
in the City of Mexico, our regiment was paid oflf, our monthly wages being counted
out to us in silver. For risking his life in this dreadful climate, ten fold more de-
structive than the enemy's bullets, the private soldier received seven dollars per
month. Pay day to the soldier was an event of no little importance, and the ill
fed soldiers, who a few weeks before, had left comfortable homes in Indiana
were wont to frequent the restaurants so long as their money lasted and indulge
in Mexican dishes of doubtful origin. We received our mail once a month and
news from home was always joyfully received. But the return mails too often
carried to homes, in the North, sad tidings of the death of some loved one.
An event which threatened for a time to lead to the most serious consequences
now occurred. A portion of the old convent of Santa Clara where the Fifth
Regiment was quartered was, as I have before stated, occupied by a body of nuns
of the Catholic Church. Their apartments were completely isolated from our
quarters and were in a remote part of the convent. A soldier without evil intent,
but with a desire to play a practical joke, managed to surreptitiously gain admit-
tance to their apartments, to their great surprise and consternation. The news of
this afifair, so sacrilegious to a Catholic, spread through the city and profoundly

excited the populace. The act was regarded as an iiisuh to their religion and a
violation of the most sacred of its institutions. The excitement among the Mexi-
cans was ver\- great and there were ominous threats. There were perhaps, not to
exceed 10,000 American troops in the city and its suburbs and these were quar-
tered remotely from each other. At the time of the greatest excitement I was in
charge of the guard at the Custom House where eight hundred ^^lexican women
were engaged in making clothing for our troops. Half of the guard was with-
drawn and ordered to report at the convent where an attack by the infuriated
populace was threatened. Fortunately the excitement subsided without serious
results.
The rations doled out to the regiment at Santa Clara showed no improvement.
All of our money was spent since the last pay da}- and so with a boldness born
of impecuniosity and a hunger never quite satisfied, I entered a bakerv and asked
for bread. The baker placed several loaves on the counter. \Mth my limited
knowledge of Spanish, I said to him, A poco ticinpo, meaning that I would pay
for it in a short time. The baker reached for the bread, but I anticipated him and
picked up the loaves. I wrote my name on a slip of paper and handed it to the
baker, who placed it in a drawer. I took the bread to our quarters and for two
or three days our mess fared sumptuously. A few days afterwards, our regiment
was paid off and with my monthly stipend in my pocket, I went to the place of
business of my friend, the baker, who remembered me, and to his great surprise,
paid for -the bread. The news of this little transaction spread among the dealers
along the street, and my credit was so well established, that I could, 1 think, have
bought all the bakeries on the street, on time.
Death was decimating the ranks of our army. Men out of an equable climate
of the North temperate zone could not withstand the fevers of a plain in the
torrid zone, 7,500 feet above the level of the sea. To the dangers of the climate
to an American, were added those of the bad sanitary conditions of a great city.
Many members of the Fifth Regiment were in the hospital. Captain Gary and
Lieutenant Marshall died in the City of Mexico and Lieutenant Shunk was pro-
moted to the captaincy of Company H. The bodies of our dead officers were
placed in metallic coffins and taken to Vera Cruz, whence they were to be trans-
ported to their homes at Marion, but the superstitious sailors would not allow the
corpses to be brought on shipboard, and their remains were buried in the cemetery
at Vera Cruz where several hundred American soldiers were buried.
There was an ancient cemetery connected with the convent of Santa Clara,
for every ecclesiastical edifice of importance had its burying ground. Here in this
cemetery. 2.500 miles from home, many members of the Fifth Regiment were
buried. Every cemetery of importance, whether in peace or war, is apt to have its
grave robbers. It was discovered that Mexican ghouls were despoiling the graves
of our dead comrades. No valuables were ever buried with the bodies of our
comrades, but their graves in numerous instances had been opened and the
corpses stripped of their clothing. I was ordered one night to take a squad of
men and capture the wretches if possible. We stealthily approached the cemetery
under the cover of night, but the ghouls who had opened three graves and stripped
two bodies, had confederates, and fled into the chapparral.
After performing garrison duty in the City of Mexico, for a month, the Fifth
714 HAZZARDS HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
Regiment was ordered to Molino del Re}', or The King's Mill, five miles east of
the capital and not far from the Castle of Chapultepec. We bade farewell forever
to the old convent and marched to our new quarters. Here we selected a pleasant
camp and pitched our tents. The Mill of the King from which the place takes its
sonorous Spanish name was a stone building several hundred feet long and one
story high. Previous to the battle which was fought here, on September 8, the
Mexicans had used the mill as a cannon factory. Here the regiment performed
ordinary garrison duty and had daily drill. Our regiment had no chaplain, but on
Sunday, the members of the regiment were accustomed to attend religious services
in a grove near the Castle of Chapultepec.
A Mexican lady of high rank who had known Colonel Lane on the Rio
Grande paid him a visit at Molino del Rey. She was mounted on a fine horse and
was attended hy an escort. There was nothing unusual in her visit and the only
thing which attracted our attention was the fact that she rode astride her horse.
Her habiliments which came well down on both sides of her horse were modest
and decorous and I only recall the incident now to illustrate the fact that the
strictest conventionalities of the country permitted her to ride in a manner both
comfortable and safe. I afterwards learned that this was the usual way for all
Mexican women and people of Spanish extraction to ride, commonly called,
"riding Spanish."
An armistice had been agreed upon by the commanders of the .\merican and
Mexican armies, August 24, 1847. This armistice provided that "hostilities should
instantly and absolutely cease between the armies of the United States of America,
and the United Mexican States within thirty leagues of the capital of the latter
State." Nicholas P. Trist, the commissioner for the United States, had for a long
time been vainly endeavoring to negotiate a treaty of peace with the Mexican
Government. Notwithstanding the armistice, bodies of Mexican Cavalry oc-
casionally made dashes within our lines, and the monotony of garrison life at
Molino del Rey was varied by an exciting episode one night when our regiment
and the Third Tennessee were ordered out to disperse a body of Mexican Cavalry.
We hastily formed in line and marched to Guadalupe seven or eight miles distant,
only to find the enemy fleeing and hear the splashing of the water as their cavalry
plunged into a ditch along the road side.
Our regiment remained at Alolino del Rey about six weeks and was then
ordered to San Augustin, eleven miles south of the City of Mexico. San
Augustin was an aristocratic place with its beautiful residences and lovely orange
groves, a suburb of the capital and the home of many wealthy Mexicans and proud
hidalgos. Here our regiment was assigned to a brigade with the Fourth Regi-
ment of Tennessee commanded by Colonel Waterhouse. I remember Colonel
Waterhouse as an old gray bearded farmer-like gentleman, whose appearance was
in marked contrast with that of our handsome colonel.
Our surroundings at San Augustin were very agreeable, and our duties the
ordinary and uneventful duties of garrison life. The regiment was quartered in
a building used for cocking mains. There was an open space in the center where
the cock fights took place and the benches rose one above another as in an amphi-
theater. Here upon these benches where the Mexican rabble nvere accustomed to
sit, our soldiers slept at night. On the 28th of May, 1848, our comrade William
HAZZARDS HISTORY OF HENRY COUXTY. 715
H. Roby of Fall Creek Township died at San Augustin and his ranains repose
there in an unknown grave. Life and property were more secure in Mexico, after
its occupation by our troops than ever before, and our army furnished an excellent
market to the Mexicans for all their products. And while we were invaders of
the country and our arms had even,-where been victorious, the Americans were
not wholly ufiwelcome and the people of all classes, descendants of one of the
proudest races of Europe treated us with great consideration and with the polite-
ness proverbial among the higher classes of Mexicans.
Soldiers proverbially enjoy favor in feminine eyes and as the most attractive
young Mexicans were at the time absent from home, riding over the country as
Lancers, los Americanos, and the officers especially were in high favor with the
Mexican ladies at San Augustin, and many little courtships were carried on under
the guise of language schools, in which the Americans taui^lit IjiL^lish to the
sciioritas and in turn received instruction in Spanish. Sunic amusing stories
were in circulation at the time, concerning these international language lessons.
One member of our company from Henry County confessed that he had serious
intentions of marrying a wealthy Mexican lady and remaining in the country,
but a feeling of homesickness so overcame him when the regiment began its
homeward march, that he bade farewell forever to the fair lady and soon after
his return home, found solace in a Henry County wife.
The reflections made by General Taylor in his official report of the battle of
Ikiena \'ista concerning the conduct of the Second Indiana Regiment in this
engagement, and the criticisms of JeiT Davis, who commanded the Mississippi
Rifles, and others upon the conduct of this regiment, were much discussed through-
out the anny. The members of the Fifth Regiment were indignant at the
reflections upon our State, and while the regiment was stationed at San Augustin
Colonel Lane, in order to give us an opportunity of wiping out what we considered
an unjust stigma upon the soldiers of Indiana had asked permission to lead the
advance of our army in the direction of San Luis Potosi, and as I understand
this privilege had been granted, in case hostilities were resumed in that direction.
On February 2, 1848, a treaty of peace had been signed at Guadalupe Hidalgo,
by Nicholas P. Trist, commissioner on behalf of the United States. Several
months elapsed before the treaty received the approval of the- government of the
L^nited States. In the latter part of May, however, it became definitely known
that hostilities were at an end and the Fifth Regiment received orders to march
to Vera Cruz. Leaving forever our pleasant quarters at San Augustin, and
casting a last look upon the historic City of ^Mexico, we set out upon our long
march. Our march to the sea was a leisurely and uneventful one over the same
route by which we had entered the country. At Puebla, eight recruits joined our
company only to return home within a few weeks after their enlistment. Dr.
Montgomery' of Lewisville, had been promoted to the rank of Assistant Surgeon
of the regiment, and on our return march died shortly before we reached \'era
Cruz.
About twenty five miles from \'era Cruz our regiment went into camp on the
hacienda of General Santa Anna. Here we remained about ten days awaiting
a steamer to carry us North. About the first of July we sailed from Vera Cruz.
The walls of San Juan de UUoa slowly faded from our sight and we were home-

ward bound. On July 4, Levi Donihue, one of the eight recruits who had joined
our company at Puebla, died on shipboard. I well remember the event and the
muster rolls give the date of Donihue's death. As First Sergeant I had charge
of the burial and by my direction, the dead body was sewed up in a blanket with
stones placed at the feet, and with the ceremonies attending a sailor's burial, the
body was cast into the Gulf. ■ With this exception our voyage across the Gulf was
an uneventful one. Joyful anticipations of meeting loved ones at home filled our
' hearts. But withal we could not wholly escape a feeling of sadness, for many
of our comrades were left behind, never to return. The vessel bearing us home
steamed up the Mississippi. The regiment disembarked at New Orleans, where,
after a delay of a day or two, we took a boat for the North. There had been
many changes in our company. Noting the changes among the living, I had been
' promoted to be first Sergeant ; Henry Shank, Second Sergeant ; Richard Webster,
First Corporal, and Charles Fifer, Fourth Corporal. On July id, while on the
Mississippi, another member of Company H died. About the 25th of July the
Fifth Regiment reached Madison in our own beloved State and here on July 28,
1848, where, ten months before, we had been mustered into the service of the
United States, we were discharged, and the members of the company regretfully
bidding each other goodby, many of them never to meet again, were soon in the
bosoms of their respective families.
The war with Mexico was one of conquest undoubtedly, for when the treaty
of Guadalupe Hidalgo was ratified, 900,000 square miles of territor}' were added
to the domain of the United States, including California and what is now New
Mexico and Arizona. The war in its inception and prosecution had been severely
condemned by a large portion of the people of the Northern States. But of the
men from Indiana, who marched under the flag, in this struggle, and the same is
true of the vast majority of the rank and file of the anny, no one, I think, believed
he was fighting for conquest, much less for human slavery. The men who con-
fronted the dangers of death from disease and upon the battlefield, saw only the
Nation engaged in a struggle with a foreign power, and rallied as patriots and
soldiers to the defense of their country and its flag in time of peril. -
Men propose but an overruling Providence seems often to dispose of human
events. And thus if the war was begun in the interests of human slavery, its
purpose wholly failed, for in 1848, California was admitted into the Union as a free
State, and its admission gave the free States a preponderance in the affairs of
the government. In the same year gold was discovered in the new State and the
wealth of the Nation vastly increased. New Mexico and Arizona with their
mountainous areas and arid climate yet remain territories, with vast possibilities,
but the civilization of the Anglo-Saxon has supplanted that of the Spaniard in
all this vast territory. And whatever may have been the motives which led to
the Mexican War, there can be no doubt that its results advanced the cause of
human freedom, increased the National prosperity and promoted human intelli-
gence and the cause of civilization.
When the Fifth Regiment reached Madison, death had fearfully decimated
its ranks. Company H had sufl^ered greatly and twenty one of its members sleep
today in unknown graves in a foreign land. Many of its members returned
broken in health and Abner Phillips and Jeremiah Gossett died within a short time
IIAZZARDS HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY. 717
after their return, victims of an inhospitable chmate and as much a sacrifice upon
the altar of their country as if they had fallen upon the battlefield. Every man
from Henry County, so far as lies within my knowledge, did his whole duty and
reflected credit upon his State and county. Some of them afterward did service
in the war for the Union. But nearly all of them are now with the silent majority,
and after the lapse of almost half a century, it affords me pleasure to pay this
tribute to all my comrades, living and dead.
Two of the above named Mexican War soldiers had records in the Civil War.
Elam Armfield enlisted from Knightstown in Company A, 57th Indiana Infantry,
as a private, and was mustered into the service of the United States, December
13, 1861. He was discharged for disability, June 24, 1862. George W. Thomp-
son went from Cadiz to Illinois and enlisted at Young America, Pulaski County,
that State, in Company C, 36th Illinois Infantry, as a private, and was mustered
into the service of the United States, September 23, 1861. He was captured and
held in a Confederate prison, and after his release was mustered out March 15,
1865. After his release from the Confederate prison and When about to be dis-
charged from the army, he purposely refrained from advising his family, which
had .remained at Cadiz, during his service in the war, of his prospective return
home. His purpose was to go direct from Camp Parole, Annapolis, ^laryland, to
Cadiz and surprise them by his unexpected return. He arrived in Cadiz un-
announced and went directly to the house where he supposed his wife to be living
and knocked at the door. Alas ! his wife had been dead for a week or more. He
continued to. reside in Cadiz until his death and his remains are buried in the Hess
Cemetery, near Cadiz.

PERSONAL RECOLLECTIONS OF THE MEXICAN WAR BY DAVID BEARLEY AND
GEORGE BURTON.
There are three survivors of the Mexican War, now living in Henry Count\-:
Norviel Fleming, of Sulphur Springs, and David Bearley and George Burton, of
New Castle. Norviel Fleming served in the same company as Captain Woodward
and his personal recollections, so far as they go, are practically covered in Captain
Woodward's papers. A condensed- statement of the personal recollections of
David Bearley and (jcorge Burton follow.
D.WID BE,\RLEY.
David Bearley was born, August 27, 1829, in Warren County, Ohio, about
twenty miles from Cincinnati. His parents moved to the city, when he was about
six year J old, and there he attended school and received such education as the
times aflforded. At the age of sixteen, he apprenticed himself to A. M. and T. C.
720
HAZZARDS HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
Davs, to learn the trade of a confectioner. Twelve months later, the war between
the United States and Mexico was declared and, being full of patriotic spirit, it
did not take young Bearley long to make up his mind to enlist. He volunteered
June 29, 1846, and was assigned to the First Ohio Infantrs-.
Mr. Bearley was attached to what was called the First Rifles Company,
officered by Captain Ramsey, First Lieutenant Isaac Hosea and Second Lieu-
tenant Richard Mason. They went into camp at Camp Washington, near Cin-
cinnati, and from there on July 2, breaking camp, they marched to the city wharf
and took steamboats for New Orleans, half of the force, on board the "New
World," and the other half on the "Alabama." As the vessels swung into
midstream, the bands struck up, "The Girl I Left Behind Me," and a great
crowd on the wharf responded to the cheers of the volunteers with, "Good bye,
boys," "good luck to you," and "God bless you."
A short run down the Ohio River brought them to Louisville, Kentucky, and
after passing the falls, the boat5 rounded to on the Kentucky shore, where all
landed to listen to patriotic speeches and the reading of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence. Here also all were given an hour to go in swimming and as Mr.
Bearley says : "I tell you, it was a great sight to see one thousand people in the
water at one time." Once more the journey down the' Ohio was resumed and
no stops were made until Baton Rouge, Louisiana, was reached. There they
received their arms and ammunition and then steamed down the ^Mississippi
River to New Orleans, where they disembarked and were sent to Camp Jackson.
The trip from Cincinnati to New Orleans had taken about twelve days. After
three or four days at Camp Jackson, they boarded the steamship, "Duke of
Orleans." for Mexico. Three stomiy days and nights were taken to get to Point
Isabel. The troops here went into camp on Brazos Island and after a week's
rest took up the line of march for the mouth of the Rio Grande River. After
about a week, they marched up that river some twenty miles and went into camp
back of the river bluffs. The ground was cleaned for regimental drill, rifle
practice and parade purposes, and was called "Camp Belknap." Three weeks
were spent here, after which the regiment went to Camargo, on the Tiger River,
a tributary of the Rio Grande. Three weeks later they crossed that river and
started for Monterey. Passing through a number of important towns, they
at last arrived at the famous Walnut Springs, in front of IMonterey, Saturday,
September 19, 1846. The assault on this strongly fortified city was set for the
following Monday.
In his narration of events at this battle, Mr. Bearley says :
"It was in this battle that I received my first 'baptism of fire' and learned
something of the realities of war. It was here that the First Ohio Infantry and
the First Kentucky Infantry were formed into a brigade under the command of
General Thomas L. Hamer, of Ohio, who, while a member of Congress had
nominated, for a cadetship at West Point, Ulysses S. Grant. General Hamer
died and was buried at Walnut Springs but his remains were afterwards removed
to his Ohio home.
"After the battle I was taken with fever and ague, which was further com-
plicated with an attack of dropsy. Because of my illness I was confined to camp
and under the surgeon's care for about three rnonths, when the regiment was
UAZZARDS HISTORY (JF HE.NKI- (.(lUXTY. ^2 1
ordered to Saltillo, as Santa Anna, the Mexican General, was endeavoring to
reach and attack that city. When the regiment moved I was sent, with others, on
a forced march to the hospital, some distance away. In this hospital T learned
some additional facts tonching the realities of the life of the soldier. After a few-
weeks 1 had so far recovered my health as to warrant rejoining my regiment
whch I did at Saltillo. ^^'e were at this latter place a week, at the expiration of
which time, our regiment was ordered back to Monterey, where we were engaged
mostly in performing guard duty and scouting around in that section of Mexico.
\^^^i".e so engaged the rumor came to us that the regiment would shortly be placed
under orders with instructions to at once return home. This order came after
we had been at Monterey for about six weeks and you can imagine with what a
joyful shout the welcome news was received. It was not long until we were home-
ward bound, but our return route to the Rio Grande was over another than that
pursued when we entered .Mexico.
"We arrived first at Kenoso on the Rio Grande where we took boats awaiting
our coming and going down the river came to its moiuh where we went into
camp for a week, then marched to Brazos Island where we embarked on the
'Duke of Orleans' and after an uneventful, but pleasant trip across the gulf,
arrived safe and sound at New ( )rleans. Here we turned '<wr our arms and
equipments to the government, .\fter a week's sta\- at New i )rleans we were all
rounded up, received our pa}' and were nu'istered out of the service. At the con-
clusion of this final event, and \vith visions- of home filling mv mind's eve, I
secured passage on a river steamer and in the course of a week i^r ten days, the
journey being a very pleasant one, I landed at Cincinnati and sliortl>- after had
the pleasure of meeting and greeting relatives and friemls to sa\ nothing of 'The
Girl I Left Behind Me.' "
After his return from the war, ^Ir. Bearley learned the trade of a chair-
maker and followed it for a number of years. On December 24, 1849, he mar-
ried Sarah Jane Bell, of Montgomery County, Indiana, with whom he has lived
happilv ever since. They have had nine children, si.x boys and three girls, five of
wlioiu are now living, .\fter his marriage, he lived for 'about a year in Cin-
ciimati and then luoved to Cambridge City, Indiana. After a little more than two
}ears, he moved from there to Xew Castle, where he and his wife have lived for
more than fifty years, having arrived there. April 14, 1853.
After the lapse of nearly si.xty years, the grizzled veterans of the Mexican
A\'ar are few in number and soon, very soon, none will be left to answer roll call.
GEORGE BURTON.
George Burton was born in JetYerson County. Indiana, near the city of
Madison, October 4, 1S24. His parents were Henry and Mary ( Alcorne ) Burton,
natives of Kentucky, who moved to Indiana about the year 1801. He moved to
Xew Castle after the ^^lexican War and now resides there at the advanced age of
eighty one years.
When the call for volunteers for the Mexican War was luade, he enlisted in
Coiupany H, 3rd Indiana Infantrw under Captain \'oorhis Conover, of Shelby-
ville. The Colonel of the regiment was Jaines H. Lane, who afterwards attained
faiue during the troubles on the Kansas border. The company was recruited in
722
HAZZARD S HISTORY OF HEXRY COUXTV.
and around Shelbyville and when organized was sent to New Albany, Indiana,
to receive their uniforms, and thence to New Orleans by two boats, the "James
Hewitt" and the "Homer." Stopping at Baton Rouge to receive their arms and
equipments, they proceeded to New Orleans and went into camp at Camp Jack-
son, three or four miles below that city. Several days later, they were taken by
vessels to Brazos Island, Texas, near the Gulf coast, and thence overland to the
Rio Grande and Camp Belknap, where they remained for sometime, drilling and
preparing for active service. Thence they marched to Palo Alto and thence in
October to Matamoras on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande. Marching to
Camargo, they there received mules and wagons for the transportation of regi-
mental supplies and after due preparation, started on the forward march to
Montery, one hundred and ninety miles awa,y.
On Christmas Eve, 1846, they arrived at Walnut Springs, four miles from
Monterey, and on Christmas day, the soldier boys visited that city. Thence they
marched to Saltillo, eighty miles from Monterey, reaching there on New Year's
day, 1847. There they remained until the arrival of General \\'ool. who came
from New Mexico, after which they moved twenty miles south to Camp Agua,
where they tarried until General Santa Anna drove them out to the battle ground
of Buena Vista, about four miles from Saltillo.
In his narrative of his experiences in the Mexican War, Mr. Burton says :
"At the battle of Buena Vista, the United States forces were under command of
Genera! Zachary Taylor and General Wool. The battle, including preliminar\'
fights and skirmishes, lasted from February 20 to 23, inclusive, 1847,. '^"'^
during that time victory hung in the balance.
"Preliminary to the battle and under order of General Taylor the four rifle
companies from the 2nd and 3rd Regiments, Indiana Infantry, were placed on the
mountain side, the Sierra Madre, to guard and prevent the Mexicans from out-
flanking us. These rifle companies were the right wing and left wing companies
of the two regiments and were for the time under command of Major Willis A.
Gorman. The 2nd Indiana Regiment was placed at the foot of the mountain under
Colonel Bowles. At the right of the 2nd Indiana, the 2nd Kentucky, Colonel
Gaines, and Lieutenant Colonel Henry Clay, was placed. Colonel Clay was the
favorite son of the famous Henry Clay. Both Gaines and Clay were killed in
the battle of the 23rd. The 2nd Illinois Infantry, under Colonel Bissel, was to the
right of the 2nd Kentucky. At the right of the 2nd Illinois, in the rear of the
mountain pass was the 3rd Indiana under command of Colonel Lane. Four pieces
of the Washington Battery occupied the pass and were located right in front of
the 3rd Indiana. In the rear and to the left of the regiment was General Tavlor
and his staff.
"On the evening of the 22nd three of General Santa Anna's staff came
through the lines and at the fort of our regiment they were met by one of General
Taylor's aids de camp. After saluting, one of the Mexican officers said: 'If
you will surrender you will be treated as prisoners of war. We have ample force
to capture }-ou.' This demand being reported to General Taylor he returned his
reply, saying : "I never surrender.' With this reply the Mexican officers returned
to Santa Anna. They were gone but a little while until they again put in an
appearance. This time they not only made the former demand but added that if
HAZZARd's history of henry CO!
the proposition was declined the battle would be at once resumed and they would
not leave, of us, one alive to tell the tale. This altercation was repeated to General
Taylor who directed his aid to say to the Mexicans that Tf they want me worse
than I do them they will have to come and take me.' There was no further
'dickering' and shortly after the battle was resumed by about 5,000 of the enemy
inarching out and making their first attack on the 2nd Indiana. The attack was
bravely met by the boys of the 2nd who succeeded in driving the enemy back,
assisted very materially by a portion of the Washington Battery. Quickly re-
organizing their forces which were further augmented by the Mexican Lancers,
the enemy once more advanced to the charge, the Lancers making special on-
slaught on the four companies of rifle men stationed on the mountain side while
the ^Texican infantry centered its charge on the 2nd Indiana, but for the second
time the enemy was driven back. The Lancers, during the battle made three
distinct attacks on the riflemen as did the Mexican Infantry on the 2nd Indiana,
l)ut at each succeeding onslaught they were driven back suffering great loss in
killed and wounded.
"On" the morning of the 23rd Colonel Jefferson Davis came out with 'six com-
panies of Mississippi riflemen, and was ordered by General Taylor, through
General Wool, to take them up on the mountain side and relieve the Indiana
riflemen who had been so long exposed and who were then without food or drink.
While the change was being made the Mexican forces were preparing for
another charge. When this was made the Mississippians all fired at once and
before the}- could reload the Lancers were upon them and forced them to retreat
dow^n the mountain followed by the Lancers who came to a point in the rear of
the 2nd Indiana. Colonel Bowles, two or three times, ordered his men to cease
firing and retreat but they refused to do so. and kept on fighting. The Lancers,
however, by force of numbers, about five to one, drove the regiment back and
following up their advantage, attacked the 2nd Kentucky. It was here that
Colonel Gaines and Colonel Clay were killed. The enemy continued its attack,
centering finally on the 2nd Illinois, under Colonel Bissel, who succeeded in
driving the Mexicans back to the foot of the mountain where they again rallied.
During this time, the 3rd Indiana was moving from the extreme right to the
extreme left. About half way across the field Coloml l.anc linrnght the com-
mand to a halt and brought us to a front face. At this pniiit the 2iid Kentucky
being driven back were rallied. We then moved on to the position assigned, the
extreme left, where we shortly after attacked the enemy.
"It was here, probably, that the hardest battle of the conflict took place. We
drove the enemy back and into a gorge in the mountains. At this time Colonel
Jefferson Davis rode up to our regiment and ordered us to charge the enemy,
which order, however. General Lane, pointing his sword to Colonel Davis and
then to the Lancers, quickly countermanded.
"At this time the 2nd Indiana and the 3rd Indiana were formed somewhat
in the shape of an 'S' and the Lancers attacked the first or upper part, coming to
the charge twenty abreast. Their charge was heroically met, the three front ranks
being killed to a man and the remainder of the command forced to retreat in
an utterly demoralized condition. After this, it was. I might say. a continuous
fight for the remainder of the day. We had, in the meantime, regained all of our
lost Erround.
724 HAZZARUS HISTORY OF HEXRV COUNTY.
"( )n the inorning of the 24th. sometime before dayhght. Colonel Lane ordered
Captain Conover to bring in one of our abandoned caissons which had been left
on the field during the heavy fighting of the 2nd Indiana. After daylight, looking
about to see the situation it was discovered that Santa Anna's camp was deserted
and that lying around and about were a good many dead and wounded soldiers.
Seeing this and making further investigation we discovered the Mexican Infantry
going over the top of the mountain. The victory was won and the battle of Buena
\'ista, became, from that day and time famous among the annals of war.
'"I was engaged in but the one battle. It was fierce and strong while it lasted
and the memors- of it. in very many respects, is, after a lapse of nearly sixty years,
as clear to my mind as if it had occurred but yesterday.
"General Taylor, after the war, became the twelfth President of the United
States. I saw him often during the war. He was a plain man, quite unassuming,
short in stature, but a brave, intrepid soldier. It was, however, his fame as a
hero of the Mexican War, rather than his fitness for the position, which made him
the chief magistrate of the nation.
•'Jefferson Davis, who had ccimmand of the Mississippi Rifles, was. during
the Civil War, President of the Southern Confederacy. His history has been
written and no words can add to or detract from his name and whatever of fame
he may have achieved."

lished elsewhere in this History, and again on page 717, is set out the highly

roi.l of honor.
Roster of Hexrv County Soldiers and Sati.oks Who Were Killed or Died
OF Wounds or Disease Beforf. Discharge From tiif. Sek\ice — Recapitu-
lation — National Cemeteries.
The following" is a list of soldiers and sailors of the Civil War, and other
wars, from Henry County, who were killed or died of wounds received in hattle,
before discharge from the army : also those who died of disease before discharge,
giving in each instance, the place of first burial and the present place of interment,
so far as the same can be ascertained.
The total actual loss thus shown is four hundred and seventy si.x. To tliis
should be added an estimated number equal to twenty five per cent, thereof, or
one hundred and nineteen, for those who have died, after discharge, from wounds
incurred -in battle and disease contracted while in the army, of whom there is
no record. Practically all of this great mortality • comes from the Civil War.
as will be shown in the recapitulation following the roll of honor.
From the table of National Cemeteries, at the end of this chapter, it will
be seen that, since the Civil War, the Government has made extraordinary eflforts
to gather the scattered remains of its dead soldiers and sailors for appropriate re-
interment. If there is a National Cemetery located at the place where the soldier
died and was buried, it is comparatively easy to locate his place of re-interment,
for it is certain that, if his remains have not after the first interment been removed
to his home in the North, and they are not found among the known dead in that
particular cemetery, then they are there among the unknown.
The difficulty in gathering reliable data has been when the re-interment was
in a National Cemetery, at a point distant from and bearing no similarity in name
to the place of first intermen-t. For example the dead from the battlefields of
Perryville and Richmond. Kentucky, have all been moved to the National Ceme-
tery at Camp Nelson, Jessamine County, Kentucky. The dead from the battle-
fields of the Atlanta Campaign, from a point about fifty miles distant from Chat-
tanooga, Tennessee, to and around Atlanta, Georgia, have all been gathered into
a National Cemetery at Marietta, Georgia. At X'icksburg, Mississippi, the
National Cemetery contains the dead, not only from Mcksburg proper, but from
Port Gibson, Champion Hills, Jackson, Big Black River. ]\Iilliken's Bend.
Young's Point, Arkansas Post and other points in that vicinity. From Chicka-
mauga's bloody field, the dead have all been removed to Chattanooga National
Cemetery. From Franklin and other points in Central Tennessee, the dead have
been gathered and deposited in the National Cemetery, most convenient, either
■J26 hazzard's history of henry county.
Nashville or Stone's River ( Murfreesboro). The author might proceed to set
out with particularity the different National Cemeteries, containing the dead
gathered from other and distant points, but it is sufficient to say that in every
instance, where a soldier is noted as having been re-interred in a National
Cemetery, which bears no relation in name or location to the place of first burial,
it has been ascertained by correspondence with the War Department at Wash-
ington, District of Columbia, or from other sources of official information, that
the dead have been moved from the place of first burial to that stated in this Roll
of Honor. After exhausting every avenue of investigation, however, it has been
found impossible to locate a number of Henry County soldiers, in any National
Cemeten,'. Presumably their remains have been re-interred in some National
Cemetery of which there is no record obtainable. In such cases the entry in
this Roll of Honor is as follows: "No record of removal. Remains probably re-
interred in some National Cemetery. Unknown list."
In consulting the list of National Cemeteries, it must be borne in mind that
the number of dead, reported in the respective cemeteries, is continually increasing,
but not to a marked degree, from the fact that it is the right of any person, who
ever served in the army or navy of the United States, though not in that service
at the time of death, to b^ buried in a National Cemetery-, at the expense of the
Government, if he so requests before death or, if his family so request, after
his death.
The list of cemeteries, as published by the Government, was made up before
the Spanish-American War. Consequently the cemeteries, nearest to Spanish-
American War camps and hospitals, have had additions from that cause. Again
the cemeteries, contiguous to regular stations, forts, arsenals or general hospitals
for United States troops, have received a gradual increase from those sources.
The greater number of interments, however, is of the gathered remains of dead
soldiers and sailors, made immediately after the establishment of the National
Cemeteries, and the list may be considered approximately correct.
At Andersonville, Georgia, Danville, \'irginia, and perhaps all other points
in the South, where Confederate prisons were maintained during the Civil \\'ar.
for the confinement of captured Federals, there has been nu re-interment, the
location and arrangements of the National Cemeteries being made to conform witli
the place of original interment.
This Roll of Honor contains, not only the names and places of luirial i>f
soldiers and sailors from Henry County, who lost their lives in the Civil \\'ar. but
also of all Henry County soldiers and sailors, who died in the service, during the
Mexican War, the Spanish-American War and the Philippine Insurrection ; also
of soldiers of the regular army who died in the service.
Where an asterisk, thus *, precedes a name, it indicates that the dead soldier,
though serving in a distinctivelv Henry County organization in the Civil War,
was not a resident of the county, at the time of his enlistment.

XATIONAL CE:METERTES.
September q, 1861, the Secretary of Wat directed that the Quarterniaster
(jeneral of the Anny should cause to be printed and to be placed in every hospital
of the army, blank books and forms for the purpose of preserving accurate and
permanent records of deceased soldiers and their place of burial, and that he
should provide proper means for a registered head-board to be secured at the head
of each soldier's grave.
Act of Congress, approved July i/. 1862. authorizes the President of the
United States, whenever, in his opinion, it shall be deemed expedient, to purchase
cemetery grounds, and to cause them to be securely enclosed, to be used as a
7^2 HAZZARD S HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
national cemetery for the soldiers who shall die in the service of the country.
April 13, 1866, it was provided by Public Resolution No. 21 "that the Secre-
tary of War be authorized to take immediate measures to preserve from dese-
cration the graves of soldiers of the United States who fell in battle or died of
disease during the War of the Rebellion, and to secure suitable burial-places, and
to have these grounds enclosed, so that the resting-places of the honored dead
may be kept sacred forever."
February 28, 1867, an act to establish and protect national cemeteries was
approved, which provided in detail for the purchase of grounds, and the manage-
ment and inspection of cemeteries; also for the punishment of any person who
should mutilate monuments or injure the trees and plants.
In accordance with the foregoing and the orders issued by the War Depart-
ment from time to time, every effort has been made to collect the remains of the
dead, to inter them decently, and to record all the facts known in connection with
each grave. After no war, whether of ancient or modern times, have any such
systematic exertions been made to secure the collection of the dead and their
interment in permanent resting-places, as have been made by the Quartermaster
De])artment of the United States Army under the above provisions of the law.

Of the whole number of interments indicated above, there are about 6,900
known and 1,500 unknown civihans, and 6,100 known and 3,200 unknown Con-
federates. Of these latter, the greater portion are buried at Woodlawn Cemetery.
Elmira, New York, and Finn's Point Cemetery, near Salem, New Jersey. The
interments at Mexico City are mainly of those who were killed or died in that
vicinity during the Mexican War, and include also such citizens of the United
States as may have died in Mexico, and who, under treaty provision, have the
right of burial therein. From the foregoing, it will appear that, after making all
proper deductions for civilians and Confederates, there are gathered in the various
places mentioned the remains of nearly 300,000 men who at one time wore the blue
during the late war, and who yielded up their lives in defense of the Government
which now so graciously cares for their ashes.
CHAPTER XXXVI.
the militia system of indiana.
The Militia System of the Northwest Territory — The Muster and the
Militia Laws in Indiana Territory — List of Militia Officers From
Henry County.
The enforced Militia System which prevailed in Indiana from the first set-
tlement of the Territory by Enfjlish speaking- people until 1844. when a Volunteer
System succeeded it, was an inheritance from the old Northwest Territory, for the
g'overnment of which it was the very first legal enactment. Though often modified
and amended by the various Territorial and State Legislatures, it embraced the
general principal of enforced military service to the State for the defense of its
people, their homes and their property, and the same general requirements for the
instruction of the officers and men, and their grouping in Companies, Battalions.
Regiments and Brigades, from the first act to the last, e.xcept that owing to the
narrow limits of the primal settlements, the first law provided for no command
larger than a regiment.
The initial militia law for the country north of the Ohio River was published
at Marietta, Ohio, on July 25, 1788, by the Governor, Arthur St. Clair, and two of
the Territorial Judges, Samuel Holden Parsons and James Mitchell Varnum, almost
a year in advance of the meeting of the first Legislative Assembly of the Northwest
Territory. It was seemingly the work of the two New England Judges, Parsons
and Varnum, and was the form by which the old methods of protecting the early
New England settlements from the murderous assaults of the savages and re-
pelling their frequent invasions, were brought into the wilderness, north of the
Ohio. The immediate purpose of the enactment was the same as that which
inspired the laws from which it was evidently fashioned. Certain clauses of the
law itself, show how greatly the need of military preparation for the defense of
the new settlements had impressed the men, who were leading the people of the
older communities into a wilderness to establish the foundations of great States.
The sweeping and arbitrary character of the first militia law will be more
readily understood by- the incorporation of its more important sections into the
body of this chapter, than by any mere statement of its provisions. The first five
sections of the law are as follows :
(1). "All male inhabitants, between the ages of sixteen and fifty, shall be liable
to. and perform military duty, and be formed into corps in the following manner:
(2). "Sixty rank and file shall form a company. Eight companies shall form a
battalion. Two battalions shall form a regiment. There shall be appointed to each com-
756 hazzard"s history of henry county.
pany, one Captain, one Lieutenant, one Ensign, four Sergeants, four Corporals, one
Drummer, and one Fifer. To a battalion, there shall be appointed one Lieutenant Colonel,
one Major and one Adjutant. To a regiment, one Colonel. The corps shall be divided
into Senior and Junior Classes.
(3.) "Whereas, in the infant state of the Country, defense and protection are ab-
solutely essential, all male inhabitants of the age of sixteen years and upwards, shall be
armed, equipped, and accoutred in the following manner: with muslvet and bayonet, or
rifle, cartridge box and pouch, or powder horn and bullet pouch, with forty rounds of
cartridges, or one pound of powder and four pounds of lead, priming wire and brush and
six flints.
(4). "And whereas, for securing principles of defense and protection, it is neces-
sary to be assembled upon certain times and at certain places for examining and in-
specting the arms and accoutrements, and for disciplining the men in a soldierly manner:
and whereas, the assembling of the community at fixed periods, conduces to health, civili-
zation and morality and such assembling without arms in a newly settled country, may
be attended with danger, therefore the corps shall be paraded at ten o'clock in the morn-
ing of each first day of the week (Sunday), armed, equipped, and accoutred as aforesaid,
in convenient places, next adjacent to the place or places already assigned for public
■worship. At other times and places, the corps shall be paraded for muster, exercise and
review, as the Commander in Chief may direct. And whereas, in the present state of
the Territory, it is necessary that guards be established, the Commander in Chief and
the commanding officers of counties and smaller districts shall make such detachments
tor guards and such other military services as the public exigencies may in their opin-
ion, or their opinions, require.
(5). "Those who have borne commissions, civil or military, in the service of the
United States, or either of them, or who have been honorably discharged therefrom, and
all such as have been graduated in colleges or universities, shall comprise the senior
class. Males over the age of fifty shall be liable to military duty in cases of actual invas-
ion only, and then at the direction of the Commander in Chief. Officers of the Civil
Government or commissioned b.\ the Governor are exempted from the duties aforesaid."
The remaining si.x sections of the law provide for its enforcement, estahlish
courts martial, and provide for their method of procedure and determine the
penalties such courts may inflict.
The fines for neglect of duty and other violations of the law were at first
light, running from a ma.ximum of one dollar down to a minimum of five cents
for a trivial oflfense. twenty five cents being the more usual fine, but all officers
were subject to courts martial which seem to have been endowed with almost
unlimited powers.
Under an amendment to the law made in November, 1788. fines were assessed
and collected against all persons subject to military duty, for neglect or refusal to
provide themselves with the equipment required by law and established a fine
for each separate offense, ranging from fifty cents for failure to provide a
musket or rifle to five cents for failure to provide a priming wire or brush. .\rms.

Laws for the establishment of the militia and substituted for them a law of twentv

seven articles, including altogether forty three sections and covering twelve pages
of closely printed matter. By this law, all able bodied white male citizens, between
the ages of eighteen and forty five years, were made subject to militia duty, except
civil officers and ministers. It provided for artillery, one battery to be attached
to each brigade, an Adjutant General for the territory, and for general, regi-
mental and company officers, as well as non-commissioned officers, much as they
exist today in the Army and in the \'olnnteer Militia. Perhaps the greatest de-
parture from the former law was in the greatly increased severity of the penalties
for failure or refusal to obey the provisions of the act, the fines running from
five cents to three dollars for enrolled men. up to a maximum fine of one hundred
dollars for certain offenses of commissioned officers, while parents and guardians
were made responsible for fines assessed against their sons or wards. Fines werL-
to be collected by distress and sale of property or by imprisonment of the offender.
( )fficers and men were to be free from arrest while performing military dut}-.
The men were required to furnish their own arms and accoutrements as under
the old law. and the militia was subject to immediate call to repel invasion.
There were various reasons for the increased rigor of this act. The law of
1788 was intended for the organization of the men, young and old, of the Ohio
Company's Marietta Colony, for defense against the assaults of Indians, and there
was probably not a man or boy in the Company, who was not in accord with the
ideas of the leading men of the Colonv, on the necessitv and dutv of self defense
imiiosed on_ the citizens by the militia law of 1788. But in 1799, thousands of
settlers from many parts of .\nierica and Europe had come into the Territory and^
the widely scattered settlements made it a different and more difficult task to
provide an efficient militia system for their defense. Besides this, the rapid influx
of Quakers and other non-combatants, for conscientious reasons, into the new
land, doubtless kindled the old warrior zeal of Puritan and non-conscientious
Southron alike, resulting in a determination to make the Quakers train for war
or pav the cost of a like number of militiamen.
It is not the author's purpose to discuss the wisdom of the n'.ore rigorous law
but merely to point out that the law of 1799 and the- acts that preceded it. were
the foundation upon which all subsequent militia laws, whether coercive or
volunteer, have been based. The muster did not originate with the law. In some
form it is, doubtless, as old as war itself, but it was this law of the Northwest
Territory that brought it into Indiana Territory and State. It was this law also
that provoked the long struggle with the Society of Friends and other sects,
conscientiously opposed to war. As the danger of invasion passed away, the
non-combatants gradually succeeded in their contention for immunity from mili-
tary duties in times of peace. In iSoo Indiana Territory was established by Act
of Congress and in 1802 the new Territorial Government was in full control. The
tild Northwest Territory had passed into history, but had bequeathed its laws and
their spirit to its successor. ^
THE MUSTER. AXD THE MIFJTIA LA\\"S IX INDIANA TERRITORY.
The law of 1799 was continued in full force in Indiana Territorw having in
• iriler to insure its binding force, been re-enacted by the first Territorial General
758 hazzard's history of henry county.
Assembly. In 1810 the General Assembly passed an act supplemental to the law
of 1799, which made a number of changes in the methods of administration, the
most radical of which related to the Society of Friends or Quakers, and their
conscientious scruples as to bearing arms. Under the laws of 1799, the Quakers
had been the objects of frequent persecution for neglect of military duty, and
seizures and sales of their property for the payment of military fines had been of
frequent occurence, for the Quakers held it to be the same in effect to pay fines
that went to the support of the militia as to render military service in person.
The thirteenth section of the law <>{ 18 10 provided as follows:
•'Whereas the universal benevolence which governs said society, established b\
their ample contributions to all charitable and useful institutions, and particularly their
exertions to civilize the Indians, a fund having actually been raised to be devoted to that
object in this Territory, therefore, for these reasons, as also from the circumstances of
the said society being always in the habit of supporting its own poor, although they
cheerfully pay their poor tax for the support of those of other denominations, be it
enacted that the persons composing said societies shall be, and they are hereby exempted
from military duty, provided always, that in time of actual war, they will be subject to
such additional tax or contribution in lieu of military service, as the legislature may
think proper to impose."
This section constituted one of the first legal acknowledgments of the rights
of conscience with reference to military service, that was made .in this country.
It was, however, of short duration, for the shadows of Indian troubles and the
gathering clouds of the Second War with En,gland, ktiown as the War of 1812-15.
.then beginning to thicken rapidly, caused the repeal of the section at the very
ne.xt session of the Territorial General .\ssembly.
The law of 1810 also forbade the sale of into.xicants within two miles of a
parade or muster, a provision which seems to have been dropped from the next
militia law. The last Territorial law on the subject of the militia was finally
passed and approved at the session of 1814. It was an elaborate enactment of no
less than seventy nine sections. It retained the principal features of the old law
of 1799 but enlarged upon it and brought it down to the needs of the time, which
was one of imininent danger from Indian massacres and invasions, while the
Treaty of Ghent had not yet brought to a close the Second War wdth England.
It substituted an exemption fee of five dollars for the free exemption given by
the preceding law to the Quakers and renewed the old rigorous collection laws.
Some changes were made iti the titles and duties of officers and the cavalry and
artillery branches of the service were better organized. All regiments or parts
of regiments were made subject to immediate call by the Commander-in-Chief, to
repel invasion or for other specific duties connected with the public safety.
Officers and inen were still required to equip themselves, and cavalrymen were to
furnish their own mounts, but if the animal was killed or rendered worthless
when the cumpany was called into active service, the owner was to be paid its
appraised value from the Territorial Treasury. Company and battalion musters
w-ere to be held in April and September of each year and the regimental musters
were to take place in Septeinber of each year. The law seeins to have been silent
as to more frequent company or squad drills ; but tradition seems to establish tliat
they were, in most places, inatters of monthly occurrence, the hours of muster
being from ten o'clock in the morning to three o'clock in the afternoon.
HAZZARDS HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.

The first Constitution of the State of Indiana provided that "The Militia of
Indiana shall consist of all free, able-bodied male persons, negroes, mulattoes and
Indians excepted, resident in said State, between the ages of eighteen and forty
five years ; except such persons as now are or hereafter may be exempted by the
laws of the United States or of this State, and shall be armed, equipped and
trained as the General Assembly may provide by law."
It made proper exemptions for persons conscientiously scrupulous of bearing
arms. Subalterns, captains, majors and colonels were to be elected by thcise
persons subject to military duty in their respective Company, Battalion and Regi-
mental districts ; non-commissioned officers of companies were to be appointed by
the captains ; brigadier generals were to be elected by the commissioned officers
in their respective brigades and major generals by the same class of officers in
their respective divisions. The manner of forming troops in th€ several branches
of the service was left to the General Assembly. The appointment of an Adjutant
General for the State, and of a Quartermaster General and his aids de camp was
assigned to the Governor.
While giving the sanction of the State to the rights of conscience in the
matter of bearing arms, it still made exemption from military duty on account of
conscientious scruples, the subject of a money consideration to be collected by the
civil officers. This was materially softened, however, by section three of article
nine, which provided that the mniie>- which "shall be paid as an equivalent by
persons exempt from military ilin\. rNiipt in times of war," should be exclu-
sively and in equal proportion, aii]ilii-il t^ the support of county seminaries, a class
of high schools or academies, for which the constitution elsewhere provided. This
did not for many years, even .measurably satisfy those who resisted the collection
<if exemption fees and fines, possibly because the money was applied to special
•schools rather than to popular schools, in the benefits of which all might partake.
The organization of Henry County was completed June I, 1822, and the
county's connection with the militia system began August 23, 1823. The Adjutant
General's office is not in possession of State military documents of any kind that
antedate the War with ;\KxicM. wliidi began in 1846. There is, however, a record
in the office of the Secrciary <<{ Mate, which contains the names of the militia
officers of the State, with the lIuIlj of their commissions, and the regiments to
which they belonged from 1816 forward. From this record it is found that Elisha
Long was commissioned Colonel of the Forty Eighth Regiment of Indiana Militia,
on August 28, 1823. So it may be safely assumed that the regiment came into
existence in that year, and that the militia system of the county began then. The
list of militia officers, who were commissioned'at various times, contains the names
of many men, who were prominent in the early life and councils of the county, but
perhaps no one of them was more distinguished than the first Colonel, Elisha
Long. He was the son of a Revolutionary snldier. Christopher Long, whose grave
is kept green at the cross roads near the Hnxd Schoolhouse in Liberty Township.
Colonel Long was a soldier of the War of 1812-15 from Virginia, before coming
to Henry County, and played an important part in the affairs of the country as
is shown elsewhere in this Historv.

as above referred to. Further reference to these t onipauics will be found in the Chapter
relating to the Mexican War.
762 hazzard's history of henry county.
A careful study of this list will disclose several matters of iuterest to the
student of our early local history, among which is the fact, that many of the names
it contains are the same as those of members of the county's most substantial and
honored families of the present time. .Another is, that as the years advanced and
there came to be less and less danger of Indian outbreaks which might threaten
disaster to any of the State's inhabitants, while we were at peace with all civilized
nations, the military spirit gradually declined. In the year 1846, when the War
with Mexico began, there does not seem to have been an active militia company
in the county, tintil certain companies were formed for service in that war, under
an Act of Congress approved May 13, 1846. Prior to the organization of these
Mexican War Companies, not one of which was ever called into active service, but
three companies of militia had been organized within the county for twelve years ;
one at Middletown in 1840: one at Knightstown in 1842, and one in Liberty
Township in 1842. Practically speaking the Liberty Township Company, of
which Green T. Simpson was Captain, was the last ever organized in the countv.
under the old militia law.
The legislation which afTected the militia of Indiana from and after 1823, con-
sisted of the following enactments :
(I.) An Act approved January 11, 1823. which provided that "no major
general or brigadier general shall be authorized to take command of any regi-
ment, unless requested by the commandant to do so," and. made it unlawful to
contest the election of any militia officer declared elected ; changed companv mus-
ters from April to May, and extended exemptions to all persons who had at any
time prior to the former act, or at the date of the act, served five years in the
militia.
(2.) An act to regulate the militia of Indiana, approved January 19, 1828,
provided for taking account of public arms belonging to the militia, and their dis-
tribution to commandants of divisions and making all persons receiving public
arms accountable for the same. It also fixed the number of regimental musters,
at one for each year, "at such time and place as the brigadier general shall deter-
mine," while the company muster was to occur on the second Saturday in April,
the captains to give notice to their companies in July of the times and places of
muster for the ensuing year.
(3.) An act approved February 2. 1833, provided as its most notable fea-
ture that, "Any person subject to military duty, commissioned officers excepted,
shall henceforth be annually exempted from such of the fines as may have been
imposed on him by law for each annual failure to perform such duty, upon the
payment of one, dollar to the person having charge of the seminary fund of his
county, provided the same be paid before the first day of October in each year."
Section Four of the same act extended, "All and singular, the rights, privileges
and benefits, etc.," of said act, "to persons conscientiously scrupulous as to bearing
arms, provided that every conscientiously scrupulous person wishing to avail him-
self thereof shall make the payment in the first section of this act mentioned, to the
officer of his county having legal charge of the seminary fund."
Thus did the State essay to build up its seminaries at the expense of its
militia, for the evident reason that there existed at that time no prospect of invasion
or insurrection, and consequently there was small need of a State militia, while
HAZZARDS HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
763
the demand for better schools was most urgent. Under this law. the busy men.
the conscientious men and the men who simply disliked militia duties, were each
and all released therefrom upon the payment of one dollar each to the seminary
fund. This was approaching rapidly to a voluntary militia service and the end
of the old system. An act approved February 24, 1840, tended in its general pro-
visions in the same direction. It divided the militia into two classes, active and
sedentary. All persons over thirty and under forty to belong to the sedentary
militia, and not to be liable to military duty, except in times of war or insurrection.
It however repealed that part of an "act for the encouragement of education"
which related to fines, except that it continued the part thereof relative to con-
scientious persons in full force. It returned all fines againgt members of the
militia to the use of the militia and provided for their collection by justices of the
peace. The same act provided for voluntary militia companies. Thus with all
persons over thirty years of age relieved from active militia service in times of
peace, and volunteer military companies provided for. the end of the old coercive
system was evidently near at hand.
The end came with an act of the General Assembly, entitled "'An Act to
amend an Act to Organize the Militia." approved January 13. i8..)4, which pro-
vided for the organization of a volunteer militia and repealed all former laws
upon the subject, practically giving the sanction of the law to what the public
iipinion of the State had several years previously decreed. All militia service in
the State. has been voluntary since 1844 ^^d there has always been a ready re-
.'iponse on the part of the people to the demand of the State authorities for military
aid.
It is to be regretted that the companies and battalions into which the Henry
County militia was divided for purposes qf muster and instruction were not made
a matter of public county record. From the meagre data, now obtainable, it is
only possible to locate the various companies by the names of the commissioned
officers. Taking the first list of officers, as commissioned in 1823, those who re-
member the early settlers, will realize that the company of which Achilles }iIorris
was Captain: ^Michael Swope, Lieutenant; and William Huff. Ensign, was or-
ganized in the southeastern part of the county in the territory that now comprises
nudlev and Franklin townships. While Jesse Forkner was evidently Captain
I if an east side company, representing the various townships of Liberty, Blue River
and Stony Creek. Charles B. Finch, Captain ; John Smith, Lieutenant, and
William McDowell, Ensign, probably served in a New Castle and Henry Town-
ship company. As we continue down the list, the location of the companies by
this sort of approximation grows less difficult. If the space at command per-
mitted, a comparison of the names of the commissioned officers on the list with
the records of land entries, and the early deed records, town plats, etc., in the
Recorder's office, would locate most, if not all of the commissioned officers with
reasonable certainty, and the parts of the county represented by the various com-
panies would be approximately determined; but there seems to have been nothing
preserved to indicate how they were grouped into battalions or at what places bat-
talion musters were held.
Elisha Long appears to have held the office of Colonel of the Forty Eighth
Regiment until 1831. The record does not state but he doubtless resigned in that
764 HAZZAtlDS HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
> tar. on account of his election to the State Senate, unless he had reached the age
Hmit of sixty years by that time, for on August 22, 1831, Miles Murphey was
commissioned Colonel, he having been advanced to the Majorship in 1829.
James Johnson was the first Lieutenant Colonel, commissioned at the same time
as Colonel Long. August 28. 1823. Brice Dillee. of Wayne Township, was com-
missioned in 1826, and Samuel Howard was commissioned in 1827. but there may
have been two battalions in the county by that time. John Dorrah was the first
Major. Miles JNIurphey, the second, and Asahel Woodward (grandfather nf the
author of this History), the third.
The musters were the occasions upon which the various elements of pioneer
society met and mingled upon such terms of fellowship as their various characters,
moods and temperaments permitted, tempered only by such discipline as the
militia officers might be able to enforce. There was, however, one very prominent
element in early Henry County society, that was never in evidence at the musters.
It was composed of those who were in the language of the militia law, "Consci-
entiously scrupulous of bearing arms." The muster days were looked forward to
with various anticipations bv the "rank and file." To many they were times of
pleasant reunion with friends, and were regarded as holidays, but the truth of
history compels it to be said that even the most quiet and sober among the young
citizens who bore arms, were never wholly without apprehensions of trouble and
possible disaster on such occasions.
The fruitful cause was the same which was so prolific of Saturday fist fights
and rows in the early villages — "the good, old, unadulterated whiskey that never
hurt anybody" — which we have all heard so much about. While the drills were
continued and the officers had control of the men, everything was done with a fair
degree of decorum and good order. This was the case even when the drills con-
sisted of nothing more than double and single file movements, as tradition tells us
was often the case, but after the men were dismissed in the afternoon and the
whiskey began to flow freely, as was the all but universal custom, the rougher
elements grew boisterous and challenge and counter challenge flew about rapidly,
wrestling matches soon ripened into fights and old quarrels were settled with "far
and squar" fistic encounters, and many a fight between friends occurred which was
impelled wholly by the "good liquor" and the frenzy of the hour.
There was a system of "renowning it," such as Longfellow describes as
having prevailed at the drinking places of the students in the German universities,
sevent}- five }ears ago', which was in vogue in certain neighborhoods of Henry
County, on muster days, election days and other public occasions. They differed
from the German "renownings" in this, that they were not challenges to deadly
combats with the short sword, but to the more indecorous, though less dangerous
"fist and skill fights." The "renowner" would take a stick and draw a large circle
upon the ground, then stripping himself to the waist, would leap into the ring and
with many furious oaths and floods of abuse, dare his enemy, if he had one in the
company, to come in and join battle with him. or wanting an enemy, he would
simply defy everybody, proclaim himself the champion of the entire countryside
or in the usual language of the backwoods ring. "The bully that could whoop
any other bully in the county." and dare any man to accept the challenge. Gouged
eves, bitten ears, mashed noses and bruised faces were the usual harvests of the
hazzard's history of henry county. 765
old time muster day: hut this state of affairs was more ac^trravated in some
locahties than in others. It cannot be regarded as an outgrowth of the mihtia
system or the muster, except in this, that as all able-bodied men, under forty five,
in the township or muster districts were required to meet for drills on those days,
rare opportunities for settling old grudges and determining important champion-
ships were afforded. Doubtless this was the worst foe to military discipline, de-
corum and training, that the militia officers had to deal with.
The above facts as to the early musters of the county have been largely
drawn from the stories told by the pioneers who attended them and kept their
heads sufficiently well to remember and retain vivid impressions of the scenes upon
the muster grounds. The late Judge Joseph Farley, one of the county's early
associate judges, remembered several such scenes as having occurred at "General
Musters" on the farm then occupied by Colonel Long. Having been '"only fist
fights," nobody gave them much attention as being violations of the law of good
order, and the young man. who refused to fight when challenged, was generally
looked upon as a coward. But on the other hand, the man who attempted to use
a pistol, knife or other murderous weapon in such a contest was regarded as a
criminal and treated as such.
Judge Martin L. Bundy remembers that General James Xuble. who was one
of the early United States Senators from Indiana, held a brigade drill, presumably
of the Eighteenth Brigade, at New Castle, either in 1827 or 1828. It was so
difficult to find a field sufficiently large for the maneuvers of the Jsrigade, on
accoi'mt of the dense forests, that the late Asahel Woodward finally surrendered
his new meadow to the "tramp, tramp^ tramping" of the men, and the great
muster was held there to the demoralization of the meadow, a disaster that the
strength and fertility of the newly cleared land soon repaired. It seems reason-
ably certain that the Eighteenth Brigade consisted of three regiments, one for
each of the three counties, Henry. Rush and Decatur, which constituted the brigade
district, but if such were not the fact, it is not probable that more than a thousand
men took part in the "great general muster" on Woodward's meadow, yet at that
time this meadow was the only field suitable to the maneuvers.
Perhaps the last public event in which the old militia was much in evidence
in Eastern Indiana, occurred in Cambridge City on July 28, 1842, on the occasion
of the great barbecue to celebrate the beginning of work on the Whitewater
Valley Canal, at that place. This canal was one of the artificial waterways for
internal communication and transportation, undertaken by the joint action of the
National and State governments, under the old Internal Improvement System. It
was, in the main, completed from Lawrenceburg to Brookville. before the final
breakdown of the joint system. After the ]>roject of building further was
abandoned by the National and State governments, a stock company was or-
ganized to complete the work. The stock was taken by the business men, farmers
and professional men of the counties and towns most likely to be benefited by the
work, which means that most of it was held in Franklin. Fayette. Wayne. Rush
and Henry counties. Farms, wild lands, almost everything that could be turned
into money, were taken in pavment for stock. Men rode from farmhouse to farm-
house and gave such glowing accounts of the good times that were sure to follow
the completion of the canal, that the depressed and struggling people were so

HAZZARDS HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
imbued with the new hope, that they assumed the burden of the proposed work
with alacrity. The General Assembly of 1841 chartered the Whitewater Canal
Company and it began work as stated.
Andrew Young, in his History of Wayne County, published at Richmond in
1872, says that "Samuel W. Parker, of Connersville, afterwards a member of
Congress from this district, took an active part in getting up the company, and
in connection with J. G. Marshall and others, secured the granting of the charter
by the General Assembly, of which they were active members. One of the prin-
cipal contractors under the State and company was Thomas N. Tyner."
"The citizens of Cambridge City celebrated the commencement of operations
by the company on July 28, 1842, by a barbecue which was attended by about ten
thousand people. The first wheelbarrow full of dirt was dug and wheeled by
Samuel W. Parker. The second by Judge Jehu T. Elliott, of New Castle. A
great flood in 1847 damaged the canal to the amount of one hundred thousand
dollars."
It may without much digression be added here that the canal was completed
to Cambridge City in 1846, and soon after, perhaps, to Hagerstown, and was the
principal means of transportation until the completion of the Indana Central Rail-
way in 1853. On the occasion of the opening of the canal, it is not recalled that
there was any special display or parade of the militia ; but the presence of such
large numbers of citizens who had been trained at various times, as members of
the force, made the great parade of horsemen, which was one of the features
of the show, one of the finest that ever occurred in the early history of the State.
It is remembered that a number of the militia officers were present in the showy
military uniforms of the olden times, brilliant scarfs, huge epaulets, gold laced,
jauntily fitting coats, fairly glittering with polished brass buttons, and three-
cornered hats, rich in flaunting plumes. These officers were in command of the
great procession that galloped about on gaily caparisoned steeds, in a way that
excited' the wonder and admiration of all.
The two most conspicuous figures from Henry County, in that memorable
parade, were Colonel Miles Murphey, of New Castle, and Colonel Jesse W. Bald-
win, of Lewisville. Both were, at that time, fine, handsome men, to whom the
military uniforms gave additional dignit}- of appearance. Murphey was Colonel
of the Forty Eighth Regiment, and was for that reason made Marshal of the
Day. Jesse W. Baldwin may have been a Colonel on the staf? of Governor Bigger,
or may possibly have been a Colonel of militia in his native State before coming
to Henry County. There is no record that explains how or where he came by
the rank, or at least the title, of Colonel. He represented Henry County in the
General Assembly in 1849, having as his colleague, Samuel W. Coffin. Baldwin
was, for many years, a man of influence and standing in Henry County. Later
he moved to Chicago, where he died at the advanced age of ninety years. At
Lewisville and vicinity, many stories and interesting anecdotes are current, re-
garding him.

ALPHABETICAL LIST A.
This list includes the names of Henry Count_v soldiers who attained the rank
of General Officers, Field or Staff. Also Henry Coutaty soldiers serving in Indiana
Organizations, in the Regular Army and in the Navy, during the Civil War. Also
soldiers from other counties in the State, who moved to Henry County, after the
Civil War.
Where the number of soldiers from Henry County in any regiment has
justified the same, the full regimental staff is published with the regiment, but only
the names of such of its members, as were from Henry County and such as are
biographically mentioned in this History, are contained in this list.
In the (Jistinctively Henry County companies, the full roster of the company
is given whether the soldiers were from Henry County or not. All non-resident
soldiers, officers and men, whose names appear in this list, are designated by an
asterisk, thus *, before the names. All soldiers from other counties of the State,
who moved to Henry County after the Civil \A'ar, are designated by two
asterisks, thus "*. before the names.

ORGANIZATION OF HENRY COUNTY.
ITS EARLY HISTORY, DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH.
hazzard's history of henry county. 859
INTRODUCTION.
In the year 1800, "Indiana Territory" was carved out of what was previously
known as the "Northwest Territory," and included nearly all of the present
States of Indiana, and Michigan, and all of Illinois and Wisconsin, and a portion
of Minnesota.
The population of all this vast region, according to the census of 1800, was
but 4,875. Michigan was erected into a separate territory in 1805, and Illinois
in 1809. Previous to the separation of Illinois, the territory had been divided into
five counties, of which Knox, Dearborn, and Clark were within the present bounds
of Indiana, and St. Clair and Randolph constituted Illinois.
In 1807, an enumeration of the "free white males Over twenty one years of
age" was had, by which it appears that there were 2,524 within the present limits
of the State, which would indicate that the whole population was less than 12,000.
Of this number, there were 616 white adult males in what was then Dearborn
County, which comprised perhaps one third of the present limits of the State.
The territory of Indiana was organized by act of Congress, May 7, 1800. On
the 13th of the same month, General William Henry Harrison was appointed ter-
ritorial governor and the seat of government was fixed at \'incennes, on the
Wabash River, now the county seat of Knox County. The territorial general
assembly which convened at Vincennes in February, 1813, changed the territorial
capital to Corydon, now the county seat of Harrison County, at which the ter-
ritorial business seems to have been first transacted in December, 1813. After
the territory became a State, the capital was removed in the Winter of 1824-25,
from Corydon to Indianapolis. The first entry in the archives of the State on
deposit in the ofil^ce of the State Librarian shows that business was transacted
at the new capital on January 10, 1825.
By a joint resolution of Congress of December 11, 1816, Indiana was form-
ally admitted to the sisterhood of States. So rapid had been the influx of popula-
tion for the ten years preceding that the State was estimated to contain 65,000, and
by this time was divided into eighteen counties, although more 1;han three fourths
of the State was still in possession of the Indians. Prior to 1810, the Indian
boundary ran east of Centreville, Wayne County, and when an additional
"Twelve-mile Purchase" extended the limits of civilization so as to include 'the
present sites of Milton. Cambridge City, and almost to Hagerstown, there was
quite a flocking to the iiezi' country, even in advance of the surveyor. So early as
181 1, Thomas Symons had settled at the mouth of a small creek that eniptied into
West River, between Cambridge and Milton, and his brother Nathan fixed his
residence at the mouth of another creek that unites with West River above the
site of the ancient village of Vandalia which adjoined Cambridge City on the
north. Their early possession of the mouths of these creeks (both having their
86o hazzard's history of henry county.
source in Liberty township,) served to attach their names to the streams, and
Symons creeks were well known to the early settlers of this county. Indeed it is
highly probable that of the whole number of persons who entered this county for
the first five years, at least nine tenths crossed the county line between these
streams.
The war with Great Britain, from 1812 to 1815, and the consequent alarm
occasioned by the hostile attitude of the Indians all along the frontier, partially
broke up the settlements along .West River. With the return of peace, however,
the settlers returned to their homes, and a rapid increase of immigration at
once set in, extending to the ver\' limits of the Twelve-mile Purchase, though it is
probable that no white family intruded itself upon the almost impenetrable wilds
within the present limits of Henry County prior to 1819.
CHAPTER XXXYII.
settlement and organization of the county.
The Indi.v^ Treaty of St. Mary's in i8i8 — Arrival of the First Settlers
— Early Settlers in the Different Townships — Land Sales and First
Entries — Organization of the County — First County Officers —
The Act for the Formation of- Henry County Reproduced in Fac-
simile — Boundaries of the County.
The first settlers of whom any reHable information has been obtained, seem to
have come to the county in 1819. Prior to this time, manv were "waiting and
watching over the border," in Wayne County, for the lands between \\'est River
and White River to become subject to settlement.
A law of Congress (not verj- rigidly enforced) forbade the private purchase
or occupancy of the "Indian lands". By a treaty negotiated at St. Mary's, near
old Fort Wayne, in 1818, by Governor Jonathan Jennings of Indiana, Governor
Lewis Chase of Michigan, and Judge Benjamin Parke — former Attorney General
of Indiana Territory and afterwards one of Indiana's leading jurists and first
United States District Judge for the State of Indiana, for whom Parke County
in this State is named — Commissioners on the part of the L^nited States, the
Indians relinquished all title to the lands south of the Wabash, except two or
three small reservations, and also agreed to vacate the ceded lands within three
years. The late David Hoover of Wayne County was secretary to this commis-
sion. From this time the whole central portion of the State was looked upon as
accessible to the whites, and the settlement of this county began at once, although
no titles to land could be obtained for some time.
The earliest titles are under act of Congress of April 24th, 1820, and the
work of surveying, etc., consumed another year before they were thrown upon
the market. About one hundred and forty persons purchased land in townships
sixteen and seventeen north, in the last half of fhe year 1821. This was in that
part of the county embraced in the present townships of Wayne, Spiceland, Frank-
lin, Dudley, Liberty, Henry, Greensboro, and a part of Harrison.
The surveys being incomplete, no lands north of Liberty and Henry town-
ships were sold until the following year. Many had come in prospecting as early
as 1818 and 1819. By this means the fame of this magnificent region spread
abroad. Its great fertility, magnificent forests, fine streams, numerous springs,
abundant game, and its perpetual dedication to the cause of human liberty, pointed
it out to many in North Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and Ohio,
as the Eldorado of the West.
The early settlers seem to have been attracted principally to three neighbor-
hoods, for a time, and from these nuclei spread over the county. These neighbor-
852 hazzard's history of henry county.
hoods, after a few years, became known as the "Harvey neighborhood," extend-
ing from the site of New Castle northward some four or five miles; the "Leavell
neighborhood," which included the southeast part of Liberty and the eastern
portion of Dudley townships ; while the region from old West Liberty, on either
side of Blue River, for two or three miles above the site of Knightstown, was
known as the "Heaton neighborhood." These neighborhoods constituted pretty
much all there was of Henry County at the time of its organization, in 1821-22.
It is impossible, at this day, to name all the first "settlers," but the following^
facts, though far from being as full as desired, will serve to show something of
the time and order of settlement in the various townships :
henry township.
Early in April, 1819, Asahel ^^'oodward, the maternal grandfather of the
author of this History, put up his cabin just north of New Castle; a Mr. Whit-
tinger and his son-in-law, David Cray, fixed their residence just about the site ot
Joshua Holland's old home; Allen Shepherd settled nearly two miles, north by
east of New Castle, on what is known as the Hudelson farm : Andrew Shannon
located just north of Shepherd, and near the former site of the Hernly Mills ;
George Hobson on the farm now owned bv Judge Elliott's heirs adjoining New
Castle on the southwest; William Shannon on the Holloway farm, four miles
southwest of New Castle; Joseph Hobson came in not far from the same time,
and settled on the west side of the Stephen Elliott farm, two miles south of town.
At his house the first courts were held, thus making it the county seat pro tempore.
George Hobson, Andrew Shannon, ]\Ir. Whittinger, and David Cray,
brought their families with them. Mrs. Asahel Woodward and Mrs. William
Shannon arrived on the thirty first of July following, and Mr. Woodward planted
about two acres of corn, the first crop, he thought, ever raised by a white man in
Henry County. He planted an old Indian field or clearing, and, although he
cultivated with the hoe alone, raised an excellent crop. The Whittingers and
Cray soon left, not liking the country.
prairie township.
Benjamin Harvey also came early in the Spring of 1819, with his family, and
settled about three miles north of Asahel Woodward in the Harvey settlement.
Very soon afterward came William Harvey, the farther of Benjamin, with
Uriah Bulla, John Harris, Samuel Howard, and Bartley or Barclay Benbow.
Some of the last named came out in April or Alay, 1819, but had been out as early
as the February preceding, selected sites, and made some improvements.
WAYNE township.
Within the limits of this township, a few persons had settled as early as
1820, and probably as early as 1819. Daniel and Asa Heaton were located about
the present site of Raysville, and trading with the Indians as early as 1820.
Samuel Furgason had a double log cabin near the mouth of Montgomery Creek,
HAZZARDS HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
863
1.1 1821, and had made money enough hauling corn from Whitewater and enter-
taining those in search of lands, to be able to purchase his homestead, August 11,
1821. Samuel Goble lived just about the site of what was subsequently known
as Church's Mill at the time of the land sale, and had a good cabin and some
eight or ten acres partially cleared and under good fence. All these improve-
ments were bid from under him by David Lauderback, who so well understood
the estimate in which he would be held by the early settlers that he "made himself
scarce" afterward. Of those who came in before or just about the time of the
land sale may be mentioned Waitsel M. Gary, Abraham Heaton, Samuel Gary,
Jacob Parkhurst, Joseph Watts, Shaphat McGray, and a few odiers, the exact
date of whose arrival it is difficult to learn.
SPICELAND TOWNSHIP.
Among the first settlers within the present limits of Spiceland township
were Daniel Jackson and Solomon Byrket, on Blue River, near what is known as
Elm Grove; Thomas Greenstreet, on the Hiatt farm, one half mile southwest of
Spiceland ; Samuel Garr, on the Henderson Hosier farm, two miles north of Spice-
land, now owned by the Hoover boys ; and Allen Hunt, on the Amos Bond place,
two miles west of Spiceland. These came to their lands immediately after the sale
and very soon after came Samuel Griffin and a few others.
FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP.
Moses Keens, George and Gharles See, and Achilles Morris were among the
earliest settlers on Flatrock, within the present limits of Franklin township.
This was about the time of or immediately after the land sale, perhaps in the Fall
of 1 82 1, though the precise date cannot be ascertained.
DUDLEY TOWNSHIP.
John Huff and a Mr. Carter are the only parties ascertained to have resided
within the limits of Dudley, prior to the land sale. Huff lived near the junction of
the New Castle and Dublin, and Hopewell and Flatrock turnpikes, and Mr.
Carter about one half or three fourths of a mile west from the site of the Hope-
well Meeting House.
Josiah Morris, Daniel Paul, Richard Ratliff (father of Cornelius Ratliff),
Richard Thompson, William McKimmey, William Modlin, William Owen, Joseph
R. Leakey, Benjamin Strattan, Thomas Leonard, Thomas Gilbert, Elisha Short-
ridge, and Jonathan Bundy were among the pioneers of Dudley Township, who
came in the Winter of 1821 or Spring of 1822.
LIBERTY TOWNSHIP.
*Of those who first settled Liberty Township comparatively little has been
learned. The author of this History is not informed whether any came in before
the land sale, but of those who came in about the time of the sale may be men-

tioned Elisha Long, Moses Robertson, Thomas R. Stanford, David Brower,
John Leavell, Robert Thompson, Jesse Forkner, Isaac Forkner, John Baker, and
a number of others. Since the purchases made at the land sale exceeded those
of any other township, it is fair to suppose that quite a number had already lo-
cated there.
GREENSBORO TOWNSHIP.
Jacob Woods, Samuel Pickering, and perhaps two or three others first settled
here in the Summer of 1821. Samuel and Jonas Pickering, Walker Carpenter, and
Benjamin Kirk came through, prospecting in 1820, after visiting Winchester, An-
derson, Pendleton, and other points. Jacob Elliott built a cabin about where his
son, Jacob S. Elliott, formerly lived, in the Fall of 1821, but did not move into it
until the Spring of 1822.
At the time Jacob Woods located where he lived so long, one and one fourth
miles east of Greensboro, there were no settlers on Blue River between Daniel
Jackson's and Joseph Hobson's, except William Shannon, and for some time there
were no neighbors on the east nearer than William Bond, who resided on the old
Wickersham farm, now owned by Josiah P. Nicholson, about four miles south of
New Castle. A number of persons settled Sbout Greensboro in the following
year, and as early as 1823 a Friends' meeting was held at Duck Creek, David
Bailey, Joseph Ratcliff, Eli Stafford, Samuel Pickering, aijd Jacob Woods
being among the "charter members."
H.\RRIS0N TOWNSHIP.
Dempsey Reece and Roderick Craig settled on Duck Creek in the eastern edge
of Harrison Township, in April, 1822. This was on land now known as the Peter
Shaffer farm. Reece had raised a crop of corn on White River, about the present
site of Indianapolis, the year before.
Phineas Ratliff, Rice Price, and Joseph and Richard Ratliff all settled in the
same year within about one and one half miles of Dempsey Reece.
stony creek TOWNSHIP.
\\'ithin the present limits of Stony Creek Township there were no settlers
prior to the land sale which took place in 1822, and perhaps not until 1823, when
John Hodgins, Mr. Schofield. Jonathan Bedwell, and Andrew Blount, the pro-
prietor of Blountsville, settled there. There were but three or four families on
Stony Creek, in the Spring of 1826, at which time John Hawk, a cabinet maker
of Blountsville, took up quarters there.
FALL creek TOWNSHIP.
The settlement of Fall Creek seems not to have begun as early as many other
parts of the county. John, Jacob, George, Peter, and David Keesling located
near Mechanicsburg, about 1824 or 1825. forming what was known as* the
"Keesling neighborhood." William Stewart and Joseph Franklin came in about
the same time. John Hart, David Van Matre, Adam E. Conn, and the Painters
were early settlers in the eastern part of the township, near IMiddletown.
HAZZARDS HISTORY OF HEXRY COUNTY.
JEFFERSON TOWNSHIP.
865
Within the present limits of Jefferson Township, at an early day, perhaps
1824 or 1825. came Samuel Beavers, Anthony Sanders, James Marsh, and the
Flemings, with some others. This township constituted a part of Fall Creek
and Prairie for many years.
BLUE RIVER TOWNSHIP.
There was considerable progress made in the settlement of Blue River Town-
ship (then a part of Stony Creek), in 1823. Michael Conway, Richard and
Reuben Wilson, Joseph Cory, John Koons, John P. Johnson, and several others
moved to this part of the county as early as 1823, a few, perhaps, having located
the year previous, the precise time, however, being difficult to learn.
LAND SALES AND FIRST ENTRIES.
According to the record, William Owen, of Dudley Township, purchased
the first tract of land in Henry County ; this transaction bearing date of February
4, 1821. David Butler next entered land, August 8, 1821. in the same township,
and on the nth of August, Josiah Morris, of Dudley, and Samuel Furgason of
W'ayne Township, each entered a tract.
Judging from the number of purchases made, the settlers in Wayne Town-
ship must have gone in a body to attend the sale, as of the twenty five purchases
made during the year, sixteen were made on the 13th of August. The following
is a list of purchases during the year, with date of purchase :
Samuel Furgason. August 11.
Waitsel M. Gary, August 13.

The 13th of August seems to have been a field dav for the people of Wayne
Township. On the 14th, nothing seems to have been done. Whether it was
Sunday, or was tak^en up with calling for bids on the tracts of land now in Spice-
land and Franklin Townships, is not known. On the 15th. the sale commencetl
for lands in Henry Township, when seven persons responded 'to the call of their
numbers, and subsequently some ten other purchases were made, as will be seen
lielow :

868 hazzard's history of henry county.
Dempsey Reece entered a tract of land in Harrison Township, April 29, 1822,
which was the only piece purchased in the township, during the year. Zeno
Pearson and Richard Ratliff purchased land in January following, and Levi
Pearson and Gahriel Ratliff, in June and July, which completed the transactions
for the year 1823.
The land office for this district was at Brookville until 1825, when it was
transferred to Indianapolis, then a village of little consequence, there being fewer
voters in Alarion County at that time than there are in Henry Township today.
The manner of the land sale was to commence in a certain township in a
certaiu range, and offer each tract or eighty acre lot, consecutively, till the whole
was gone through with. If no one bid, the tract being called by number was
soon passed. \\'hen a number was called, the '•'squatter" who, perhaps, had a few
acres cleared, or a little cabin on the same, could become the purchaser at one
dollar and twenty five cents per acre, the minimum price, unless some one ran
it up on him.
Where two persons had the same number and were desirous of entering the
same eighty or one hundred and sixty acre lot, it was no uncommon thing for one
to buy tiie other oft", with some trifling sum, say ten to twenty five dollars, and, al-
though the law of public opinion was such that neighbors would seldom try to
buy each other's improvements from under them, still there were cases in which
no little feeling was excited at times, and various little intrigues were resorted to,
to bluff or out-wit competitors.
If for any reason a man failed to bid on a piece of land he desired to pur-
chase, it sometimes happened that he could prevail oii the auctioneer to call it up
"just after dinner," or the "first thing next morning." From and after the land
sale, all lands were subject to private entry at the minimum price.
ORGANIZATION OF HENRY COUNTY.
The act referred to as "An act for the fixing of the seats of Justice, in all
new counties hereafter to be laid off" in section thr.ee (3) of the hw authorizing
the formation of the county of Henry hereinafter set forth, is Chapter i, of the
"special acts passed and published at the second session of the General Assembly
of the State of Indiana, held at Corydon, on the first Monday in December in
the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and eighteen." Approved
January 2, i8tq.
This act is in six sections but the first section is the most important for the
purpose of this History. It provided in brief that when a new county was or-
ganized that the act creating the same, should appoint five commissioners who "do
not reside in said new county, nor hold any real estate therein," thus providing
against any real estate speculation on the part of those appointed.
The commissioners so appointed were then instructed "to convene at such
time as the General Assembly shall appoint," which in the case of the county of
Henry, was "at the Home of Joseph Hobson," who, at the time mentioned, lived
about .two miles south of the Court House Square in New Castle, on what was
subsequently anil for a great number of vears thereafter, Vnown as the Stephen
F.llintt farm.
HAZZARD's history of IlKXRY COUNTY. 869
The commissioners named in the act heretofore referred to after having met
"at the house of Joseph Hobson," and having been duly sworn, were then directed
to "proceed to fix on the most eligible and convenient ]ilace for the permanent seat
of justice for such new county, taking into view the extent of the county, the
quality of the land, and the prospective future, as w^ell as the weight of the
present population, together with the probability of future division." They were
authorized to acquire the necessary land bv either donation or purchase and to
take a good and sufficient bond therefor, conditional that the land so acquire:!,
either by donation or purchase, should be duly conveyed to such agent as the
Board of County Commissioners might designate as their agent to receive
the same.
The remaining five sections of tlie act relate entirely to the proceedings of
Boards of County Commissioners and their duties after the land so acquired was
deeded to their agent, as provided in section one of said act.
■In the last section, seven (7), of the act creating the county of Henry, here-
after set out, it is provided that the qualified voters of said county shall proceed
to hold the first comity election in the same manner and under the same condi-
tions as the "qualified voters of Dubois County and others named" were authorized
to proceed under an act entitled "An act incorporating a County Library in the
counties therein named," .\pproved, January 28, 1818. The last paragraph of
said section seven, (7), provided that the act creating the county of Henry should
not be effective until the first day of June, 1822. .
Accordingly, under the authority conferred on the commissioners named to
organize-the county of Henry, acting under the Dubois County act, they must have
called a meeting of the qualified voters of the proposed new county to meet "at the
home of Joseph Hobson," immediately after the act became operative, for the first
entry on the records of the Board of County Commissioners of Henry County is
dated June 10, 1822, or ten days after the act creating the county of Henry be-
came effective. This order will be found set out in full in the article treating
of the first courts of the county. With this election, which would now be known
and recognized as a mass meeting, the duty of the five commissioners named in
the act organizing the county of Henry ended and the duties of the Board of
County Commissioners and other countv officers, began. In short, the county of
Henrv was organized and read\- for business.
As was provided in the act, it was made the duty of the Sheriff of Wayne
County to notify the five commissinners appointed to organize the" county of
Henry, of their appointment and tlieir duties. This mandate seems to have been
dul\' executed as the very early records of the board of commissioners show that
"Elias \\'illets. Sheriff of Wayne County, be allowed fifteen dnllars" fur the
service, which was certainly cheap enough considering the fact that he must have
gone into four counties and traveled at least two hundred and fifty miles. On
the other hand, it may be considered that the commissioners were liberal as the
sum was nearly one tenth of the entire revenue. County and State, collected for
the first fiscal vear of the life of the countv of Henrv.

FIRST county officers.
For Congressional purposes, the county was attached to the Third Congres-
sional District, represented by John Test of Brookville, tlie other counties in the
district being Dearborn, Delaware, Fayette, Franklin, Randolph, Ripley, Switzer-
land, Union and Wayne. For judicial purposes, the county was attached to the
Third Judicial District, afterwards the Fifth, of which Miles C. Eggleston of
Centreville. was the presiding judge. The other counties of the judicial disfict
being, Dearborn, Fayette, Franklin, Jennings, Randolph, Ripley, Rush. Switzer-
land, Union and Wayne.
The law must have been that when an act was passed looking to the creation
of a new county that it was the duty of the governor to appoint a sheriff and
county surveyor for the proposed new county, for the records of the Executive
Department of the State on deposit in the offices of the Secretary of State, at
Indianapolis, show that on January i, 1822, the day after the act was approved,
creating the county of Henry, it was "ordered that Jesse H. Healey be and he is
hereby appointed Sheriff of the county of Henry." The same records show th^t
on Ma>- 9, 1822, William McKimmey was appointed Surveyor for the new
county. Thus every new county started out from its very inception with a chief
peace officer and a county surveyor, which at that time was a highly important
office, considering the fact that the boundaries of every piece of 'land in the county
had to be established for the new settlers.
At the election -lield "at the home of Joseph Hobson" the following additional
officers were elected, all their commissions dating from July 5, 1822, viz : — Rene
Julian, Clerk and Recorder: Thomas R. Stanford and Elisha Long, Associate
Judges ; Allen Shepherd, Elisha Shortridge, and Samuel Goble. County Com-
missioners. Subsequently. William Shannon was appointed, by the said Board,
the first County Treasurer. The office of County Auditor was not created until
1840, the duties of this office up to that time, devolving upon the County Clerk,
who acted as "Clerk to the Board of County Commissioners."
For Senatorial purposes, the new county was attached to the distr'ct com-
posed of the counties of Henry, Hamilton, Johnson. jMarion, ^ladiscn. Rush and
Shelby, the Senator being James Gregory of Shelby County. The first session of
the General Assembly at which he represented the new county was the eighth
regular session which convened at Corydon, (the last held there) ''on the first
Monday in December, 1823," he having been elected for the term of three years
"on the first Monday in August" preceding. For a member of the lower house
of the General Assembly, the county was attached to the district composed of the
counties of Henry, Decatur, Rush and Shelby, the Representative being Th'^mas
Hendricks, residence probably in Shelby County, who was elected at the same time
and sat in the same session with Senator James Gregory.
The first County Coroner was Ezekiel Leavell, who assumed the duties of the
office September 8, 1824, and resigned January 24, 1825.

* Be it remembered that there were two separate and distinct nountie,s, each named Delaware. The
first was the " unorganized" county of Delaware, organized .Tanuarr 22, 1820, which embraced all of the " new
purcha.se," being a va-st tract of land relinquished bv the Indians to the General Gowrnment and to the State
of Indiana. The second was the present county of Delaware, organized out of a part of the first named coun-
ty, January 26, 1827. It was from the first mentioned countv of Delaware that Henry county was organized.
"Unorganized County" means no civil government established.
BOUNDARIES OF HENRY COUNTY.
According to Section one ( i ) of the act creating the county of Henr^^, it
was made a perfectly square body of territopi', twenty miles from east to west
and a like distance from north to south. From a glance at the map of the count}'
hazzard's history of hexry county. 873
of Henry or the map of Indiana showing the county, it will be seen that it is not
now a body of land twenty miles square, but there is a jog of a mile in the south-
west corner on the west side, for six miles. Then on the east side of the county
along the center of the county there is a jog of three quarters'of a mile for a dis-
tance of nine (9) miles. If the county was now twenty miles square as pro-
vided in the act creating it, it would contain four hundred square miles of ter-
ritory.
Section one ( i ) of the act begins to describe the county of Henry, to-\vit :
"Beginning at the southwest corner of Wayne County," jvhereas, the southeastern
corner of the county of Henry as. now defined is located six miles northwest of
the "southwest corner of Wayne County." When the boundaries of the counties
of the State were finally adjusted, nearly three Congressional townships of land
were attached to the southern tier of Congressional townships in Wayne County,
probably taken from Fayette County. Had they extended these townships along
the entire southern boundary of Wayne County, Favette County would not now
join the countv of Henry. But then, the southeast corner of the coiuitv of Henry
would be nearly six miles due north of the "southwest corner of Wayne County."
The county of Henry-as it exists today, contains about three hundred and ninety
square miles and approximately two hundred and fifty thousand acres of land and
is bounded on the east by Randolph and Wayne ; on the north by Delaware : on the
west by ^ladison and Hancock; and on the south by Rush and Fayette counties.
The actual boundaries of the county of Henry as they exist today and as they
have existed probably, for three quarters of a century or more, are defined in the
following letter from the County Surveyor. Omar E. ^linesinger:

CHAPTER XXXVIII.
township organization.
Organization of the Se\-eral Townships — Population — Assessed Valua-
tion — Taxation — Elections.
At the time of the assembling of the first Commissioners' Court, June lo,
1822, there were no civil townships in existence, within its jurisdiction, and one
of its first cares was to provide a few of these indispensable dependencies, "with
a local habitation and a name." After describing, in fitting language, the metes
and bounds of these "territories," the Commissioners declared that "from and
after the first Saturday in July next" they should each "enjoy all the rights and
pririlci^rs ami jurisdictions which to separate and independent townships do or
may properly belong or appertain."
Whether this idea of an independent and separate existence and jurisdiction
smacks of "State rights" or not, the reader must judge. The Commissioners were
an authority in the land, in those days, and, it is quite safe to conclude that they
fully intended to carve out of the territorial limits of Henry County several little
republics, which were to be fully competent to manage their domestic institutions
in their own way.
The townships thus provided were four in number, viz. : Dudley, ^^'ayne,
Henry, and Prairie. Dudley and Wayne composed the First Commissioners Dis-
trict, Henry, the Second, and Prairie, the Third.
The original boundaries of Henry County were not identical with those of
the present day, and, as a consequence, the boundaries of the townships lying on
the east and west borders of the county underwent some change when the new
boundaries were fixed by the General Assembly in the early 'thirties. A town-
ship meeting, notwithstanding the size of the township, must have been a small
aff^air in those times. Three years after, when the population had probably more
than doubled, the whole vote for Governor was but 366.
DUDLEY township.
Dudley, the first township called into being by the fiat of the Commissioners,
June II, 1822, began at "the southeast corner of Henry County, of which it is a
part," and running thence west on the county line dividing Henry, Fayette and
Rush counties, about nine and one fourth miles from the present east line of the
county, and was six miles in width. It consequently contained at least fifty five
and one half sections of land, and comprised all of its present limits and about
four fifths of the present township of Franklin.
HENRY COUNTY CITIZENS.
hazzard's history of henry county. 875
At this date, it is estimated that there were not one hundred and fifty persons
residing within the limits of the township. A round of log rollings, house raisings,
and similar "bees" occupied much of their time, and in talking with one of these
veterans you will very likely be told that they enjoyed themselves and felt as
hopeful, contented, and happy as at any period since.
A "Friends' Meeting House," a hewed log edifice, which stood about one
mile southeast of the present site of Hopewell Meeting House, was erected in 1823
or 1824 and was probably the first attempt at church architecture in the township
or in the county. The congregation had been in the habit of worshiping at the
house of William Charles, north of where Hardin's old tavern stand used to be.
An ancient orchard still marks the spot.
A Baptist church, a log building about eighteen by twenty feet, was erected
about one and one half miles northeast of Daniel Paul's, so near the same time
as to render it difficult to determine which is entitled to the claim of seniority.
This church was used as a school house for a number of years.
A school house soon followed, with all the elegant appurtenances and appli-
ances of the times for assisting the "young idea to shoot."
Dudley Township was the eatewa)- of the county, as three principal thor-
oughfares from the east and srmtlieast led through it. Tt presents, perhaps, less
variety of surface than any other township in the county, being almost entirely
table land, lying on "the divide" between Flatrock and West River, with perhaps
two thirds of its surface finding drainage to the latter. The passerby of early days
regarded it as most unpromisingly wet. Although very little of it can be termed
rolling, it- is now seen to be sufficiently undulating to permit the most complete
drainage of almost every acre, and under improved culture the large average
crops and general fertility stamp it as one of the best bodies of land in the cornty.
Dudley is five and a quarter by six miles in extent, and thus contains about
19.000 acres. According to the census of 1870. it was then divided into 191 farms,
an average of about 103 acres each ; supporting an almost exclusively rural pipula-
tion of 1,348 souls, about forty three and one half per square mile, divided be-
tween 268 families and 267 dwellings. Of this number but thirteen were foreign-
ers — less than one per cent., while the natives of the "Old North State" numbered
126, or nearly ten per cent, of the whole population. The value of the lands and
improvements for 1870 was $542,120. The town lots and improvements were
valued at $6,300, and the personal property at $249,970, making a total of wealth
of $798, 390, as shown by the tax duplicate for 1870. The census of 1900 seems
to have been taken only by counties ; at least the author has been unable to find
any subdivision less than the county that would enable him to set out for com-
parisons, all of the items mentioned above, as taken from the census of 1870 : and
what is true of Dudley, is true of all the other townships following. The only
items of general interest that can be found relating to Dudley and the twelve
townships that follow, are those regarding the population, viz. : population, accord-
ing to the census of 1890, including Straughn, incorporated and New Lisbon not
incorporated, 1,395 '< census of 1900, 1,359; ^ loss of thirty six in ten years.
The tax duplicate for 1904, the township and towns combined, shows the
following: value of lands, $637,600; value of improvements, $111,850; total,
$749,450; value of lots, $14,410; value of improvements, $27,560; total, $41,970;
876 hazzard's history of henry county.
value of personal property of all kinds, $432,240: value of railroad property, in-
cluding steam and electric lines. $370,720; total value of taxables of all kinds,
$1,594,380; less mortgage exemptions, $40,090; leaving the net value of taxables
for the year named, $1,554,290.
Total taxes levied on the duplicate for the year 1904, township, Straujhn,
incorporated, and New Lisbon, not incorporated, combined, which taxes are as
follows, viz. : — State tax, for benevolent institutions, State debt sinking fund,
State school. State educational institutions, free gravel road repairs. County tax,
locil tuition, special school, road, township, bridge, court house, and co-pora-
tion, this last being confined to the corporation of Straughn. $20,254.76. Total
polls, being a specified head tax on each male person between the ages .of twenty
one and fifty. 218; tax on each, distributed through different funds, $2.00; total
polls in Straughn. 35; tax on each, $2.00.
From the foregoing, it will be seen that the population of Dudley Township
has not been subject to much change since the census of 1S70. But a compar-
ifon between the tax duplicates of 1870 and 1904, exhibits the fact that the taxable
property of Dudley has nearly doubled during that period.
Mortgage exemption is allow-ed under the law which became effective
March 4. 1899. I'nder this law, an exemption for mortgage on real estate, not ''n
excess of the sum of $700 is allowed, and then only provided the real estate is
valued for taxation at twice the sum of the mortgage exemption. Therefore, on
all real estate valued for taxation at less than $1,400, the mortg-ige exemption
could not be in excess of one half the value of the property.
The first election was ordered to be held at the house of Daniel Paul, on
Saturday, July 6th. 1822. for the purpose of electing one Justice of the Peace,
and William McKimmey was appointed Inspector. William INIcKimmey and
Garnette Hayden were appointed first Overseers of the Poor for Dudley Township,
and Richard Pearson and Robert Thompson "Fence-viewers." The elections
were afterwards held at Benjamin Strattan's for a number of years; about 1840.
at Daniel Reynolds; then at New Lisbon. Soon two polls were opened — one at
New Lisbon, and the other near Straughn's. Again the polls were united and
held at James Macy's. At this time, there are two polls, one at New Lisbon, and
the other at Straughn. The vote at the general election, held Tuesday. Novem-
ber 8. 1904, based on the returns for the vote cast for Secretary of State, was :
New Lisbon precinct, 200 ; Straughn precinct, 220 ; total, 420. The vote set out
in the twelve townships following, is for the same election and based on the same
returns.
Today, instead of the mere "trace," the "See trail," the blazed bridle path,
winding around through the thickets, around or over logs, through "slashes," or
high grass and stinging nettles, high as a man's shoulders, so well remembered
by the "oldest inhabitant." or over miles and miles of "corduroy road," of which
"internal improvements" Dudley could, fifty or sixty years ago, vie with the
world, the township has nearly thirty miles of fine turnpike, splendid and well
drained farms and farm houses that equal the best.
WAYNE TOWNSHIP.
The second grand division named in order, on the public records, was to be
known and designated by the name and style of Wayne Township. It was
iiazzard's history of henry county. 877
orig'ir.ally six miles troiii north to soutli, ami eleven in length from east to west,
including all that territory west of Dudley. It thus included in its fair domain
about 42,000 acres of very valuable land, much of it today the most valuable
in the county. Its first boundaries included one fifth of the present township
of Franklin, all of Spiceland. and one sixth of Greensboro. Although thrice shorn
of a portion of its "independent jurisdiction," its present area is a trifle in excess
of thirty three square miles.
Wayne township had, at the date of its organization, from thirty to forty
■families, though the very choice lands, fine springs, and abundant water power
of Blue River, Buck and Alontgomery creeks, marked it for rapid settlement. A
village was projected at the mouth of Montgomery Creek, on the county line,
as well as "old State road," at once and known as West Liberty. This became
the emporium of trade for the region round about, and rejoiced in all the metro-
politan splendors of a "one-eyed grocery" and dry goods store kept by Aaron
Maxwell. This "Chamber of Commerce," in 1822, consisted of a very indifferent
log cabin, with a wide fire place, flanked on one side by a rude table, where Mrs.
Maxwell compounded "red bread," and on the other by a barrel of whisky, and
about as many bolts of calico, etc., as could be piled upon a chair.
Raccoon pelts seem to have been the principal circulating medium, and several
years afterward, when the stimulus of sharp competition had taxed the energies
of the iTierchant princes of the day. the old ladies were at times under the necessity
of sending by the mail boy for a little tea or other luxury, and young ladies in
quest of a bridal trousseau would mount their palfreys and make a day's journey
to Connersville for the outfit.
The Methodists had preaching at West Liberty^ in a very early day, perhaps
as early as 1823, Reverend Constant Bliss Jones officiating. The preaching was
held at Mr. Hatton's private house for some tifne. Jones was succeeded by
Reverend Mr. Brown, who seems to have resided at West Liberty. Mrs. Eliza
Jones (then Miss Cary,) taught a school, in 1825 and 1826, and was the first
female teacher in those parts. She, with Mrs. Peggy Jones, the minister's wife,
organized the first Sunday school in the township, perhaps in the county.
At the first meeting of the Board of Commissioners, an election was ordered
to be held at the house of Joseph Watts, July 6th, for the purpose of electing the
one Justice of the Peace for the township. Abraham Heaton was appointed
Inspector, and seems to have been elected the first Justice. In August, Elijah
McCray and E. Harden were appointed constables of Wayne Township, until the
February term, next in course. In November, Daniel Priddy was also appointed
constable. Ebenezer Goble and Samuel Furgason were appointed Overseers of
the Poor, and Daniel Heaton, Shaphat McCray, and Jacpb Parkhurst first "Fence-
viewers in and for Wa\iir Tow n^liip." and Abraham Heaton was also appointed
Superintendent of the school si-ctions in Wayne Township. The elections in this
township were afterward held at Prudence Jackson's house, till 1825; changed to
Solomon Byrket's, in 1827; then to Jacob Parkhurst's, then to Raysville and
Knightstown alternately, and soon afterward fixed permanently at Knightstown.
Abraham Heaton seems to have had, at this early day, a mill erected at the
mouth of Buck Creek, a few rods south of what has for many years been known
as the "\\'hite ]\lill." John Anderson, afterward "Judge Anderson," then a fresh

arrival, dug the race and, receiving $ioo for the same, walked to Brookville and
entered a part of the present site of Raysville.
Immediately after the organization of the township was effected, the Com-
missioners ordered the location of a road "to commence at the town of New
Castle, and from thence the nearest and best way to Abraham Heaton's mills, and
from thence to the county line, where sections thirty three and thirty four corner
in township sixteen and range nine, on the line dividing fifteen and sixteen." The
terminus was West Liberty, and the route selected was the river route from
New Castle via Teas' mill, the stone quarry, and Elm Grove. This was the
second ordered in the county, the first being from New Castle via John Baker's
and David Thompson's, on Symons Creek, to the county line, on a direct course,
to Shock's Mill, in Wayne County, which shows of what importance the opening
of the "Cracker line" was to the early settlements. Not to be wondered at either,
.since "going to mill" required about two to four days out of the month.
In 1870, Wayne was the most populous and wealthy townships of the county,
but now Henry Township holds that rank. Wayne being second. According to
the census of 1870, its area was divided into 206 farms; an average of about 103
acres each, and had a population of 3,334, or about 100 per square mile. The
value of lands and improvements for 1870 was $664,710; of town lots and im-
promevents, $433,120; while personal property footed up to the snug little sum
of $682,540, making a total of $1,780,370. Something more than one half its
population was then to be found in Knightstown, Raysville, and Grant and Eliza-
beth cities, 330 of its 680 families residing in Knightstown alone. Dudley and
Wayne, with the townships carved out of them, constitute the First Commissioner's
District, as they always have and do now.
The population of Wayne Township, according to the census of 1890. in-
cluding Knightstown incorporated, Raysville, Grant City, and Elizabeth City,
not incorporated, was 3,333 ; census of 1900, 3,370.
The tax duplicate for 1904, township and towns combined, shows the fol-

HENRY TOWNSHIP.
Henry, the third township, in the "order of their going,'' upon the records,
was also called up June, 1822, and was a strip of territory six miles wide, extending
quite across the county from east to west, and including what is now Liberty,
Henry, three fifths of Harrison, and nearly all of Greensboro township. This con-
stituted the Second Commissioner's District. It at first contained 118 square
miles, or over 75,000 acres.
Henry Township now contains thirty-six square miles, and is nearly the geo-
graphical center of the county, and is the only one in the county in which the
Congressional is identical with the civil township. Ten years after the organi-
zation of the county, this township had not over 500 inhabitants, while in 1870 it
numbered over 2,800, nearly one-half of whom lived in the "rural districts." It
contained 135 farms of near 160 acres each, and maintained a population of 78 to
the square mile. There were 592 families, 67 colored persons, 121 of foreign birth,
and 152 natives of old North Carolina, in the township. The population of Henry
Township, according to the census of 1890, including New Castle incorporated,
was 4,009; census of 1900, 4,682.
Blue" River, dividing the township nearly in the center, is too sluggish to furn-
ish good water power for a mill within the limits of the township. Duck Creek
skirts through the northwest corner of the township, and Flatrock through the
southeast corner. The table lands between these streams are nearly one hundred
feet above the bed of Blue River, and, although there is perhaps as much rolling
land in this township as any in the county, there is very little so rolling as to merit
the term broken, or too much so to admit of culture. Repeated efforts at ditching
and straightening the channel of Blue River have completely redeemed to cultiva-
tion the marshy bottom lands which are of inexhaustable fertility.
The county seat being located in Henry Township would of itself (even in
the absence of natural advantages), have secured to this township an important
position in the county, both financially and politically. The value of the real and
personal property in the county, by the assessment of 1870, was shown to be:
Lands and improvements, $689,350; lots and improvements, $300,870; per-
sonal property, $609,400, making a snug total of $1,599,620.
The tax duplicate for 1904, the township and New Castle, incorporated, com-
bined, shows the following: value of lands, $912,810; value of improvements,
$230,020: total, $1,142,830; value of lots, $677,040: value of improvements, $611-
130; total, $1,288,170; value of personal property of all kinds, $1,182,720; railroad
property including steam and electric lines, $403,890; total value of taxables of all
kinds, $4,017,610; less mortgage exemptions, $155,340; total, $3,862,270. Total
taxes levied on duplicate for the year 1904, township and New Castle, incor-
porated, combined, which taxes include all items set forth in Dudley Township

Henry Township, 202; tax, $2.50 each; New Castle corporation, 912; tax,
$2.50 each.
In 1904. the vote of the whole township cast at six precincts, all in New
Castle, was as follows : first precinct, 268 ; second, 287 ; third, 340 ; fourth, 200 ;
fifth, 268; sixth, 330; total, 1,693. This total vote indicates a marked increase in
the population of Henry Township for 1904 as compared with the census of
1900. In the four years intervening, the population was largely increased by the
location of many new manufacturing establishments in New Castle.
The first election was held at the house of Samuel Batson ; Charles Jamison,
Inspector. Asahel Woodard, Micajah Chamness, and Thomas Watkins were ap-
pointed Fence-viewers for Henry Township. William Shannon and Samuel
Batson were elected first Justices of Peace.
The fourth of the original townships, included all the territory lying north of
Henry, and was eight miles in width and nearly twenty in length, thus giving it an
area of nearly 160 square miles or about 105,000 acres. Within its ample limits
were all of the present townships of Blue River, Stony Creek, Prairie, Jefferson,
Fall Creek, and about two fifths of Harrison.
In spite of the mutations which have since overtaken it. the township re-
mains five miles in width by eight in length, thus containing over 25,000 acres,
which were divided, according to the census of 1870. into 201 farms, averaging
about 122 acres each.
The population of Prairie_Township according to the census of 1890, includ-
ing Luray. Springport, Mount Summit, and Hillsboro. not incorporated, was
1,663; census of 1900, 1,662, thus showing that the township, in ten years, lost
one inhabitant.
Prairie contains four villages, viz. : Luray, Springport, Mount Summit and
Hillsboro. The value of farms and improvements for the year 1870, was $559,210;
of town lots and improvements, $10,610; of personal property $258,650; making
a total for the township, of $828,470. The tax duplicate for 1904, the township
and towns combined, shows the following value of land. $686,730; value of im-
provements, $70,090; total, $756,820; value of lots, $6,900: value of improve-
ments, $25,470; total, $32,370; value of personal property of all kinds, $287,290;
value of railroad property, no electric lines, $222,320; total value of taxables of
all kinds, $1,298,800; less mortgage exemptions, $45,700; leaving net value of tax-
ables for the year named, $1,253,100. Total taxes levied on the tax duplicate for
1904, township and towns combined, which taxes include all items enumerated
in Dudley Township, except corporation tax. there being no incorporated town in
Prairie, $18,750.44 ; total polls, 293 ; tax on each, $2.50.
This is a remarkable township in many respects. Situated as it is, on the
"divide" between White and Blue Rivers, about one half its surface finds drainage
to the north and the remainder southward, and although thus situated on the
"water shed," nearly one sixth of its surface consists of low, wet meadows, from
fifty to eighty feet below the general level of the table lands. It is from these
meadows or prairies that the townshi]) takes its name. These "flowery leas" seem
hazzard's history of henry county. 88 1
ever to have been coveted, although within the memory of the oldest inhabitant
large portions of them were so flooded with water much of the year as to be
chiefly valuable as the resort of waterfowl. Today, however, under an extensive
system of drainage, even the wettest portions of these prairies have been thor-
oughly redeemed, making farms which for inexhaustible fertility cannot be sur-
passed.
The first" election for Justice of Peace was held July 6, 1822, at the house of
Absalom Harvey; William Harvey, Inspector. William Harvey and Abijah Cane
were appointed first Overseers of the Poor, and Abraham Harvey, James Massey,
and Robert Gordon, Fence-viewers "in and for said township." In 1826, the
place of holding elections was changed to Sampson Smith's, afterward to Enoch
Dent's, and again to Ezekiel T. Hickman's, where it remained for many years, but,
in 1846, was changed to James Harvey's. Later, there were several changes in
the voting place, and now there are two voting places, viz. : south precinct, Mount
Summit; north precinct, Springport. Vote, 1904, south precinct, 209: north pre-
cmct, 232; total, 441.
The first school house in the township was built on Shubal Julian's land,
better known of late as the "Shively farm," perhaps in 1824 or 1825. It was a
small affair, with split saplings for seats, and a fire-place across the entire end.
The late Dr. Luther W. Hess, of Cadiz, once a State Senator, and ex-County
Treasurer, and Emsley Julian, graduated from this school. Milton Wayman, the
last Probate Judge for Henry County, was the teacher.
LIBERTY TOWNSHir.
Liberty was the fifth township organized, this important ceremony bearing
date of February 12, 1822. It was a clipping from the east end of Henry Town-
ship, and, according to the metes and bounds prescribed, it was at first one mile
less in extent from east to west than at present. It is now six miles wide by six
and three fourths in length, thus embracing about forty square miles, mostly table
land, and of a very fine quality generally. Flatrock, rising in Rlue River Township,
enters the township near the middle of its northern boundary, passing out near
the southwest corner. The valley of this stream is so slightly depressed as to form
nothing worthy to be called blufifs, and, although too sluggish to be of much value
for hydraulic purposes, it, with its small tributaries, seems in some way con-
nected with the drainage and fertility of a wide belt of superb farming lands. The
two Symons creeks, heretofore mentioned, find their sources in Liberty Town-
ship, and now furnish ample drainage to many sections of fine land that, doubt-
less, in the early days of Henry County, passed for very wet land.
The aggregate value of the farms and improvements of Liberty Township
exceeds that of the farms of any other township of the county, except Henry, and
the evidence of thrift and "farming for profit" are nowhere more generally visible
than in Liberty Township. Four villages have been projected in the township —
Millville, Ashland, Petersburg, and Chicago, though it is presumed that the propri-
etors of the two last named, if still living, have long since abandoned the hope of
seeing them outstrip their namesakes. Under the old turnpike law, many miles of
turnpike sprang into existence, and now the people of this township rejoice in the
advantage of traveling to almost any point on good roads.

8^2 HAZZARD S HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
According to the census of 1870, the population numbered 1,868, being almost
exclusively rural. Its 24,000 acres were then divided into 203 farms, an average
of about 120 acres each. The population then numbered about 49 to the square
mile, being divided between 376 families. There were then 6 persons of color,
19 foreigners, 64 North Carolinians, and 32 Virginians, within the township. The
population of Liberty Township, township and towns combined, according to the
census of 1890, was 1,538; census of 1900, 1,416; showing a loss in ten years
of more than one hundred, which is explained by the purchase and consolidation of
small farms into large ones.
The wealth of the township was estimated for the purpose of taxation, in
1870, as follows: farms and improvements, $712,430; town lots and improvements,
$5,950 ; personal property, $325,410 ; total valuation. $1,043,790. The tax duplicate
for the year 1904, the township and towns combined, shows the following, viz. :
value of lands, $843,720: value of improvements. $104,130; total, $947,850; value
of lots, $970; value of improvements, $3,120: total, $4,090: value of personal
property of all kinds, $301,607; value of railroad property, no electric lines, $244,-
100; total value of taxables of all kinds, $1,497,647; less mortgage exemptions,
$42,410; leaving net value of taxables for year named, $1,455,237. Total taxes
levied on the tax duplicate for the year 1904, the township and towns combined,
which taxes include all items enumerated in Dudley Township, except corpora-
tion tax, there being no incorpoi^ted town in Liberty Township, $20,854.80 ; total
polls, 241 ; tax on each, $2.
The first election was held at the house of Ezekiel Leavell, on the first Satur-
day in May, 1823, for the election of two Justices of the Peace. Ezekiel Leavell
was Inspector. John Smith was made Supervisor of all the roads in the town-
ship. Jacob Thorp and Cyrus Cotton were appointed Overseers of the Poor. In
1825, the elections were ordered to be held at the house of Samuel D. Wells, and
continued to be held at his house for a number of years. After the railroad was
built through the township and the town of Millville established, the voting place
was moved to that town. There are now two voting precincts in Liberty, one
at Millville, the other at Ashland. Vote, 1904. East Liberty precinct. Millville,
209 ; West Liberty precinct, Ashland, 164 ; total, 373.
STONY CREEK TOWNSHIP.
This township, the next in order of organization, was established November
II, 1828. By its creation Prairie Township lost about one third of its "inde-
pendent jurisdiction," as Stony Creek was bounded on the west by the range line
separating ranges ten and eleven, and extended to the eastern boundary of the
county, including all north of Liberty Township, which made it a region of no small
consequence. It was at first eight miles from north to south, six miles wide on the
north, and about six and three fourths on its south line, and had in its ample area
about forty nine and one half sections of land. A tier of eight sections has since
been re-annexed to Prairie to compensate, no doubt, in a measure, for the loss of
more than two townships on the west. Blue River Township has also been carved
out of Stony Creek, thus reducing it in size to barely twenty square miles, about
two fifths of its primal area, and leaving it the smallest of the townships.
COMPANY E, 8th INDIANA INFANTRY,
hazzard's history of henry county. 883
The township is fittingly named from a creek, which, rising near, runs nearly
parallel with, its southern border, then runs north across the township and finally
into White River. The immense quantities of bowlders or "traveled stones" scat-
tered over some of the highest ridges and points in the township must not only
arrest the attention and excite the curiosity of the observer, but at once obviate the
necessity of inquiry as to the township's name.
This township presents, perhaps, a greater variety of surface and soil than
any other equal area in the county, and while there was every variety of timber to
be found in the county, there was a larger proportion of oak here than elsewhere,
and less poplar, ash and walnut.
There is a portion of two or more prairies in this township, similar to those in
Prairie. The bottom lands are doubtless equal to any in the county, while the
higher lands, which the casual observer would [lerhaps. pronounce thin or poor, not
only produce abumlnnt crops of the smaller grains, lint Indian corn of more than
average size. Blountsville and Rogersville are the only villages. The population,
according to the census of 1870, was 934; divided between 197 families. There
were then 13 colored persons, 10 foreigners, 21 natives of North Carolina, and 35
A'irginians in the township. There were 118 farms, averaging about 109 acres
each.
The population of Stony Creek Township, according to the census of 1890,
including Blountsville and Rogersville, was 1,088; the census of 1900 shows a
less population, the number being 962. Since then, the Chicago, Cincinnati and
Louisville Railroad has been built through the township, and now no doubt the
township exhibits a marked increase over that of 1900.
The assessed value of farms and improvements for 1870 was $178,940; of
town lots, $6,500; and of personal, $112,330; making a total of $297,770. The
tax duplicate for the year 1904, township and towns combined, shows the following:
value of lands, $333,010; value of improvements, $43,910; total, $376,920; value of
lots, $3,480; value of improvements, $10,140; total, $13,620; value of personal
property of all kinds, $141,740: value of railroad property, no electric lines, $30,-
140; total value of taxables of all kinds, $562,420; less mortgage exemptions, $25,-
180; leaving net value of taxables for the year named, $537,240. Total taxes
levied on the duplicate for the year 1904, township and towns combined, which
taxes include all items enumerated in Dudley Township except corporation tax,
there being no incorporated town in Stony Creek Township, $9,383.63 ; total polls,
179: tax on each, $2.00.
The first election was held at the house of Thomas Hobson, Jr., December 20,
1828, for the purpose of electing one Justice of the Peace; William Wyatt, In-
spector. There were formerly two voting precincts, but this was in the days of
bad roads, and want of suitable and satisfactory conveyances. Now, since the
days of free gravel roads and rubber tired buggies, the two precincts have been
consolidated into one, at Blountsville. A^ote. 1904, one precinct, Blountsville, 237.
F.MJ. CREEK TOWNSHIP.
The next- township in order was named Fall Creek, organized August, 1829.
This was at first declared to be eight miles in length, from north to south, by seven
in width. It thus embraced within its limits fifty six square miles, or 35,840 acres.
88_|. HAZZARDS HISTORY OF HENRY COUXTY.
and yet with this ample domain the township could only muster twenty nine votes
at an exciting election, in 1830, and of these but three were Whig votes, yet now
the township is largely Republican. Since the organization of the township a strip
two miles in width has been given to Harrison Township, and two miles on the
east of Jefferson, leaving the township six miles in length, from north to south,
and five miles in width.
Fall Creek is a well watered and very fertile township, and well improved
farms and good buildings indicate that the husbandman is being well repaid for
his labors. The creek from which the township takes its name, rising near the
northeast comer, and meandering through, leaves the township, near the south-
west corner. It once had sufficient fall to furnish valuable water power. Deer
Creek, a tributary, rising in Harrison Township, near Cadiz, emptying into Fall
Creek, about one and one-half miles north of Mechanicsburg. also furnished fair
water power. A "corn cracker" was erected on this stream, about the year 1826.
Benjamin Franklin, then a boy. afterward a noted preacher, is said to have dug
the race. This was the first mill in that part of Henry County.
A very rude log school house, with split pole benches and greased paper win-
dows, did service in the Keesling neighborhood near the present site of Mechan-
icsburg, as late as 1831 or 1832. Robert Price was the first teacher. Lewis Swain
was afterwards principal of this institution. Some of the earlier settlers can re-
member attending the log rollings every day for weeks together.
Aliddletown. Mechanicsburg, and Honey Creek, are the towns and villages of
the township. The total population of the township, according to the census of
1870, was 2,004, or about 66 to the square mile. Of these 31 were foreigners, 36
North Carolinians, 321 Alrginians. and 4 colored persons. There were 197 fami-
lies living in the town and villages and 209 in the country. The population of Fall
Creek Township, according to the census of 1890, including Middletown, Mechan-
icsburg and Honey Creek, was 2,320: census of 1900, 3,311, the principal gain
arising from the increase of the population of Middletown.
The wealth of the township, in 1870, for the purpose of taxation, was as fol-
lows : farms, $522,270; town lots, $72,650; personal property, $412,280; total, $1,-
007,200.
The tax duplicate for the year 1904, township, town and villages combined,
shows the following: value of lands. $659,780: value of improvements, $124,090:
total, $783,870: value of lots, $79,600; value of improvements, $127,410: total,

FRANKLIN TOWN SHIT.
Franklin Township was organized on January 5. 1830. It was constructed
out of Dudley and Wayne townships, and, from the order making it a township,
we learn that the west line was about three fourths of a mile west of the village of
Ogden. and continued north to the line dividing townships sixteen and seventeen,
which would make the northwest corner of Franklin as it then existed, about one
mile west of the Masonic Cemetery, which joins Greensboro on the south. From
this point the northern boundary ran east eight miles, or within three fourths of a
mile of the present eastern limits of the township. This gave it jurisdiction over
nearly all its present territory, all of Spiceland. a small fraction of Wayne (just
north of the "Stone Quarry Mill"), and three sections now claimed by Greensboro.
In the following year, a change was made in the western boundary, which gave
Wayne another tier of sections and made the northwest corner of Franklin Town-
ship, just about the location of the Masonic Cemetery, and perhaps, within the cor-
porate limits of Greensboro.
All elections were ordered to be held at the house of Joseph Copeland. John
Copeland was appointed Inspector, and Joseph -Kellum, Lister: and the first elec-
tion was ordered on the first Saturday in February, 1830. Upon the setting up of
Spiceland .Township, in 1842, Franklin, which underwent another mutation, was
given a slice off of Dudley, and was then contracted to its present limits of five
miles in width, from east to west, by six miles in length.
Flatrock "drags its slow length along" near the middle of the township, and,
although at two or three points it was compelled to do duty as a mill stream, it
never established much of a character for energy. It, however, is the natural drain
of a remarkably fertile body of land. Buck Creek drains the northwest corner of
the township.
The present area of the township is about 17.200 acres, which according to
the census of 1870, was then divided into 131 farms, an average of about 114
acres each. Lewisville, the only village in the township, then contained 86 families,
while 213 families resided in the country. Of the population in 1870, 42 were
foreigners, 13 colored, 124 North Carolinians, and 29 Virginians: total population
of township for 1870, 1,696; population according to the census of town and town-
ship combined, for 1890, 1.330: census of 1900, 1,137; loss in ten years 193. How-
ever, the recent improvement in Lewisville, must make a gain in the population of
the township for 1905, more than equal to the loss as stated. The loss in popula-
tion since 1870 must be accovmted for in Franklin Township for reasons given in
other similar cases, viz. : the consolidation of small farms into large ones.
The wealth of the township, 1870, is reported thus : farms and improvements,
$500.750 : town lots and improvements, $42,960 : personal property, $332,260 ; total,
$875,970.
The tax duplicate for the year 1904, township and Lewisville combined, shows
the following: value of lands. $591,920; value of improvements, $88,720; total,
$680,640: value of lots, $36,400: value of improvements. $29,330; total, 65,730:

GKF.ENSBORO TOWNSIIIT.
Greensboro Township, so named from an ancient village of North Carolina,
was organized September 7, 1831.' It was at first described as "all that part of the
territory of Henry Township west of the range line dividing nine and ten." This
made it seven miles from east to west, and six miles from north to south, which
would include nearly all of the present area of the township and three fifths of Har-
rison. In 1838, one half its territory was given to Harrison, and a small addition
— four square miles — was made to it, taken from the townships of Wayne and
Franklin. This change removed the township line one mile south from the village
of Greensboro, and left the township with an area of twenty five square mile-, or
about 16,000 acres, divided, according to the census of 1870. into 118 farms; an
average of about 135 acres each.
Greensboro and Woodville (now extinct), on the line between Harrison and
Greensboro Townships, were the only villages. Of the 315 families in 1870 in the
township, 70 lived in Greensboro. The population of the township numbered 1.490.
Of these six were reported of foreign birth; 81 colored; 221 were North Caro-
linians; and 52 were natives of Virginia. Population according to the census of
1890; Greensboro, Kennard, and Shirley, in Henry County, combined, 1,612; cen-

Greensboro is a well watered and fertile township. Blue River, skirting
through the southeast corner, and Duck Creek, running across the eastern end,
furnish fine water power. Much of the land along these water courses is quite
rolling and there are numerous knolls, supplied with excellent gravel. ]\lont-
gomery Creek, crossing the township near the middle, and Six-mile Creek rising
in, and running across, the western part of the township, made the complete
drainage of a large and fertile portion of the township (originally counted as
wet), a matter of no great difficulty.
The assessed value of Greensboro Township, tax duplicate of 1870, was:
farms, $364,850; town lots, $34,190; personal. $196,330; total, $595,370.

IIARKTSOX TOWNSHIP.
The large and important township of Harrison was formed out of the north
half of Greensboro and two tiers of sections off the south side of Fall Creek, No-
vember 7, 1838, and all elections were ordered to be held at Cadiz.
The general aspect of this township, which is five miles from north to south
and seven miles from east to west, is that of high gently undulating table land, with
considerable portions formerly inclined to be wet, but ver\' fertile under a system
of intelligent drainage, now practically complete. A larger number of small
streams find their head waters in this than any other township of the county. A
small portion of the northeast corner of the township finds drainage into Bell Creek,
and runs north, and near the same spot rises Honey Creek, also running north.
Deer Creek, rising near the center of the township, also runs north by west, and
empties into Fall Creek near Mechanicsburg, while two other small tributaries of
Fall Creek have their source in the north and northwest portions of the township,
and in the central and western portions. Sugar Creek takes its rise and runs west,
while Montgomery Creek rises in the south part and runs south, and the west fork
of Duck Creek rising near Cadiz, also runs south, while the principal branch of
that creek, with some small tributaries, pretty effectually drains the eastern end of
the township. A little south and west of Cadiz can doubtless be found some of the
highest land in the western part of the county. Cadiz, and a part of Woodville,
now extinct, are the only villages of the township.
Harrison Township contains, exclusive of town lots, Cadiz and Woodville,
more than 22,000 acres of land, which, according to the census of 1870, was di-
vided into 183 farms, an average of about 122 acres each. The total assessed
value of the township, villages included, on the tax duplicate for 1870 was as fol-
lows : farms with improvements, $445,010; town lots including improvements, $11,-
030; total value of personal property of all kinds, $217,390; grand total, $673,430.

Township, 246; tax, $1.50 each ; Cadiz corporation, 33 ; tax, $2.00 each.
At the first election, on the first Saturday in December, 1838, William Tucker,
inspector, there were thirty two votes cast for Justice of the Peace. According to
the census of 1870, Harrison had a population of 1,916, of whom 32 were colored,
15 foreign born, loi natives of North Carolina, and 109 Virginians. Population,
according to the census of 1890, township and Cadiz combined, 1,674; census of
1900, 1,488; loss in ten years, 186; loss from 1870 to 1900, 428. The loss in pop-
ulation can be accounted for by the purchase and consolidation of small farms
into large ones, and the exodus of farmers and their sons and daughters from
country to town life.
The first church and school house was probably at Clear Springs, in the south-
east corner of the township, constructed in 1831-2 while it was a part of Greens-
boro Township.
All elections have been held at Cadiz, from the organization of the town-
ship to the present time. Formerly, there was but one voting precinct. Now there
are two. \'ote for 1904. South Harrison precinct, ig6; North Harrison precinct,
170; total, 366.
SPICEI.ANn TOWNSHIP.
This township, the smallest in the county, except Stony Creek, was organized,
June, 1842, at which time, Ogden was the principal village. Room for it was
found by taking a slice off Wayne and a four mile slip off the west side of Frank-
lin Township. It is of irregular shape, being six miles in length on the eastern
side, with an average length of five miles and width of four and one half miles.
Blue River forms the boundary for about three miles on the northwest. Its area
is a little short of twenty two square miles, or about 13,000 acres, which, according
to the census of 1870, was divided into 173 farms, giving an average of only about
75 acres each, the smallest average in the county.
Buck Creek, running in a southwest course, crosses the southeastern corner
of the township into Rush, where it makes a short turn and re-enters Henry
County about the middle of the south line of the township and bearing in a north-
west course, nearly four miles, passes into Wayne Township and falls into Blue
River at the old Heaton or White Mills. Blue River on the northwest, and the
classic little stream named Brook Bezor, which rises near the center of the town-
ship and runs north two and one-half miles with an average descent of about thirty
feet to the mile, constitute the only water courses of note in the township.
Notwithstanding the smallness of Spiceland Township in respect to area, it is
bytio means insignificant in some other respects, being fourth in point of popula-
tion in the county, and up to the average in point of wealth, while its farm lands
are assessed higher for purposes of taxation than many other townships in the
county. This is doubtless owing in part to its division into smaller farms and
hazzard's history of henry county. 889
consequent thorough tillage, but much is owing to the high average quality of the
land for general farming purposes.
The population of Spiceland Township, according to the census of 1870, num-
bered 2,020, or about 92 per square mile ; of these 334 were born in North Caro-
lina, 45 in Virginia, 17 out of the United States, and 65 were colored persons.
Population of Spiceland Township, including Ogden. Spiceland, and Dun-
reith according to the census of 1890, 1.823: census of 1900. 1,844: the last
census showing a total loss as compared with the census of 1870. of 176. This
loss of population, between the years above mentioned, is explained bv the mi-
proved general school system of the county as compared with the most prosperous
days of the Spiceland Aca<lem>-, under Clarkson Davis, as principal, when it out-
ranked every other school in the coimtv and many people moved to Spiceland to
educate their children. The school is yet a most excellent one but the improved
■educational facilities elsewhere in the countv. have stopped the migration to
Spiceland as the great educational center.
The first election was held at Ogden, August, 1842. A few vears afterwards,
the poll was divided and elections held at Spiceland and Ogden. There are now
three precincts, two at Spiceland and one at Dunreith. Vote for 1904, West
Spiceland precinct, 132; East Spiceland precinct, 196: south precinct. Dunreith,
185: total vote, 513.
The assessed value of the tax duplicate for 1870. in farms was $457,460; town
lots, $65,870; personal, $296,310; total, $819, 640. The tax duplicate for the year
1904, township and towns combined, shows as follows: value of lands, $453,590;
value of improvements, $101,410: total, $555,000; value of lots, $24,550; value of

bles of all kinds, $1,426,720; less mortgage exemptions, $29,410; leaving net value

for the year 1904, township and towns combined, which taxes include all items
enumerated in Dudley Township, with the addition of township poor, lighting
streets, corporation and street tax, the last three for Spiceland corporation, and
corporation tax for Dunreith, total $21,988.26. Total polls in township, 159; tax,
$2.00 each; Spiceland corporation, 81 ; tax, $2.50 each; Dunreith corporation, 30;

JEFFERSON TOWNSHIP.
This township was organized September 5, 1843, out of the spare territory of
Fall Creek and Prairie. The eastern half of it is eight miles in length, while on the
west line it is but six miles. It is four miles in width and contains twenty eight
square miles, or nearly 18,000 acres, all passably good land, and much of it very fine
farming land. Its principal stream is Bell Creek, which with its tributaries traverses
nearly the entire length of the township. Honey Creek is in the southwest ; and
a branch tributary of Buck Creek, in the northeast corner, carries into White
River a portion of its surplus waters. Sulphur Springs is the only village.
The population of the township, according to the census of T870, numbered
1,234. divided into 230 families, 172 of whom lived in the agricultural districts.
890 hazzard's history of henry county.
There were 23 foreigners, 12 North Carolinians, and 169 Virginians in the town-
ship. The average size of a farm in the township was about 103 acres, and the
population numbered about 46 to the square mile.
The farms and improvements on the tax duplicate for 1870 were valued, for
the purpose of taxation, at $359,290; town lots, $18,800; personal, $188,050; total,
$566,140.

The elections were first ordered to be held at the house of Michael Swope, on
the 2nd day of October, 1843, ^oi" the purpose of electing a Justice. Since the
building of the Panhandle railroad through the township, 1855-56, and the es-
tablishment of Sulphur Springs, the elections have been uniformly held at that
place. Formerly, there was but one voting place, now there are two. \'ote, for

BLUE RINER TOWNSHIP.
This was the last organized, and is one of the smallest townships of the county,
and contains a trifle more than twenty two square miles. It was formed from
the south half of Stonv Creek Township, bv act of the Commissioners, on June 6,
1848.
Blue River Township takes its name quite aptly from being the source of
both branches of the stream of that name, so intimately connected with the pros-
perity and history of the county. "Big Blue," as it is often called, rises near the
middle of the western portion of the township, and runs nearly north about three
and one half miles to within about one half mile of Rogersville, in Stony Creek
Township, where it bears to the west and is soon wending its way amid the prai-
ries of Prairie Township. The slashes or head waters of this branch of the river
are known in the Duke neighborhood by the classic name of "Goose Creek." The
stream has a fall of perhaps twenty feet ]ier mile for the first three
and one half or four miles, and. although the volume of water is
small, at the ordinary stage there were formerly two prettv valuable
mill seats on it before it reached Prairie Township. "Little . Blue"
rises near the north line and northeast corner of the township, and run-
ning in a general southwest direction into Prairie Township, unites with the main
branch about two miles north of New Castle. On this branch of Blue River were
HAZZARD S HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY. 89I
formerly situated the flourishing woolen mills of Mowrer and McAfee and later
of Ice, Dunn and Company, and the celebrated Hernly Mill, as well as some of the
finest farms in the northern part of the county. Flatrock also rises in the north-
eastern portion of this township, and takes a southerly direction, while a small
branch of Stony Creek, almost interlapping with "Little Blue," somehow finds its
way through the water shed of this part of the county, and runs north into White
River, near the western boundary of Randolph County. From the number of
streams having their initial point in the township, and running in opposite direc-
tions, the conclusion is easily reached that some of the highest lands in the county
are to be found here ; but being the highest by no means signifies the dryest.
Large portions of the township required drainage to make them available to the
husbandman, but being reclaimed are of the very best quality.
The woolen mills mentioned in the preceding paragraph were for many
years a land mark in Henry County. There is now no sign of this once flourishing
industry except the remnants of a fast disappearing mill race. The factory was
first best known as Mowrer and McAfee's and later as Ice, Dunn and Company's.
From the destruction of the timber and the drainage of the county and the con-
sequent immediate flow of the waters on their way to the sea, Little Blue River
as well as all other rivers and streams in the county have been rendered practi-
cally useless, so far as power is concerned, for mill and factory purposes. For the
same reason, the Hernly Mill, so long another land mark, was put out of business.
This mill and factor}- stood near each other about three miles northeast of New
Castle and not far from the old village of Hillsboro.
This little township was exclusively rural, having neither village nor per-
manent postoffice within its limits until after the construction of the Big Four rail-
road through the central part of the county, unless a half interest in the old town
site of Centerville, on the line between Blue River and Stony Creek townships, for
many years extinct, could have been claimed as a village. Since the building of
the Big Four Road, the prosperous and beautiful town of Mooreland has been es-
tablished and the postoffice has been re-established at what is now the village of
Messick, formerly a neighborhood cross roads.
The census of 1870 showed a population of 861, the smallest number at that
time, of any of the thirteen civil divisions of the county. Of this population, 13
were colored ; 7 foreigners, 25 Virginians ; and 70 North Carolinians. The pop-
ulation, according to the census of 1890 including Mooreland, incorporated, and
the village of Messick, was 1,032: census of 1900, 1,053.
The farms and improvements on the tax duplicate of 1870, were valued at
$269,250, and the personal property at $88,990: total, $358,240. The tax dupli-
cate for the year 1904, township, town, and village combined, shows as follows:
value of lands, $458,220: value of improvements, $37,070: total, $495,290: value
of lots, $9,160: value of improvements, $32,160: total, $41,320: total value of per-
sonal property of all kinds, $190,620: value of railroad property, no electric lines,
$98,040: total value of taxables of all kinds, $825,270: less mortgage exemptions,
$43,700: leaving net value of taxables for the year named, $781,570. Total taxes
levied for the year 1904, township, town and village combined, which taxes in-
clude all items enumerated in Dudley Township, with the addition of corporation
bond, and street tax for the town of Mooreland, $13,267.09. Total polls in town-
ship, 135: tax, $2.50 each: polls in Mooreland, 76: tax, $3.25 each.
892 HAZZARD S HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
At the time the township was established, all elections were ordered to be
held at "the home of Philip Moore or at the Meeting House nearby," and they so
continued to be held there until after the establishment of Mooreland as above men-
tioned, since which time the voting has all been done at Mooreland where there are
now two precincts. Vote for 1904, West Blue River precinct, 145 ; East Blue

Section six of the act, providing for the organization of the county of
Henry, made it the duty of the commissioners to provide for the erection of
suitable colinty buildings within one year after their election.
THE first court HOUSE.
In obedience to this provision, the commissioners, in February, 1823, ordered
that :
"The agent of Henry County shall offer for sale to the lowest bidder in the
town of New Castle, the building of the court house of Henry County, of the
following dimensions, to-wit : being logs twenty two by eighteen feet, each log to
face not less than twelve inches at the little end, being seven inches thick, twelve
rounds high, with a cabin roof to consist of eleven joists, to be four inches by
nine, the joists to be eight feet nine inches from the floor, etc., etc."
The sills of this imposing structure were to be of durable timber, one foot
from the ground, with a good rock or stone under each corner, a puncheon floor
below and plank floor above, with two windows above and three below, consist-
ing of twelve lights each ; and they further instructed that the, "Sale of the above
described building be on the Wednesday after the second Monday in ]\Iay next,
with a good door three feet wide, six feet, six inches high."
At the May term following, the board rescinded the above order and at once
substituted another with further and more "workmanlike" specifications. In these
specifications, the side logs were to be twenty six feet long, and end logs twenty
feet, while they were to face at least twelve inches in the middle, and sills and
sleepers to be of good durable timber, and to be placed on six suitable sized
stones, the floor to be of puncheons hewed smooth and solid, and the lower story
894 hazzard's history of henry county.
to be at least nine feet between joists. The second floor to be of plank, and the
second story was to be at least five feet from the floor to the top of the last
round of logs, "or square." There were also to be two doors so cut as to make
the center of the door "nine feet from the end of the building" (which end is
not specified), but they were to be "so hanged as to open on that end of the house
intended for spectators," and they were to be hung on strong iron hinges, with a
"good lock on what may be considered the front door," and a bar so as to fasten
the other. This time there were to be two fifteen-light windows, and a strong
partition of banisters, at least four feet high, to separate the court from the spec-
tators, with a strong gate in it, fastening on the inside, and the second floor was to
be reached by a "good strong set of straight steps, commonly called mill steps."
The building was to be "well chinked and daubed and covered with good oak
boards confined with sufficient weight poles."
The order for letting the court house provides that it be "advertised in three
of the most public places in the county, and in the Western Times, a paper
published at Centreville, Wayne County. Indiana," and it was, in "height, ma-
terials and construction, to be similar to the court house in Connersville. Fayette
County, Indiana."
This building was ordered to be placed on the southeast corner of lot four,
block twelve, which located it near the southwest corner of the new addition to
the present court house and immediately across the street, north of the Alcazar
theatre. So soon as the building was covered, the contractor was to receive
twenty dollars of the "purchase money," and it was also stipulated that it was to
be completed before the second Monday in February.
According to arrangement, the Agent did "sell the courthouse," on the 14th
of May, 1823, to George Barnard, for two hundred and forty seven dollars, and
in May following the commissioners adjourned from the house of John Smith
to the new court house, which they formally accepted, as it was done according to
contract. Once established in a building adequate to the wants and fully com-
porting with the dignity and wealth of our flourishing county — one that cost
them a sum about equal to the tax duplicate for three years, it cannot be. doubted
but the commissioners felt immeasurable relief. Doubtless the tax-payers grum-
bled at the extravagance of those fellows who could thus squander two hundred
and forty seven dollars, and they were soon rewarded by being permitted to retire
to the rest and quietude of private life.
This log building, Henry County's first court house, was ready for oc-
cupancy early in the year 1824, and it was used for the transaction of all the
business of the county, until after the second court house was ordered constructed
in 1831. Between the determination to build a new court house (1831), and the
time when it was ready for use, in the Winter of 1836-37, the first court house
came to be regarded as unfit in which to hold court, and accordingly in 1834, as
related by Judge Martin L. Bundy :
"The Board of County Commissioners procured for a court room, which
was so used until the new building was ready for occupancy, the old frame
Methodist Church, a small structure which stood where the City Hall (Old
Methodist Church), now stands. At the first term of court held in this church.
Charles H. Test was the presiding judge and William J. Brown, then of Rush-
hazzard's history of henry county. 895
ville (Father of Admiral George Brown, of Indianapolis, retired) was the prose-
cuting attorney. My father-in-law, Abraham Elliott, appeared as counsel for
Peter Winslow, a colored man who shot at a constable about to levy an execu-
tion on his property. This I think was Abraham Elliott's last appearance in court
as attorney."
It is remembered by persons now living in New Castle, that after this first
court house was vacated by the county, it was repaired and occupied by Samuel
Graham, an English weaver who came to New York in 1833, and soon after to
New Castle, where he wove coverlets and where he probably had his place of
abode. A number of people in New Castle, and probably elsewhere in the county,
now hold as heirlooms, fine, old fashioned coverlets woven in white and blue,
with appropriate patterns, and date, the handiwork of Mr. Graham, a well re-
membered citizen and the father of William D. and the late Thomas R. Graham.
After Mr. Graham's vacation of this old log building, remembered as standing
as late as 1850, it may have been and probably was used as a residence.
It is mentioned in one of the preceding paragraphs, that the county com-
missioners in May, 1824, "adjourned from the house of John Smith to the new
court house." the first one built. This shows that the board of commissioners
had found a new place for business and had moved from the house of Charles
Jamison. The history regarding this removal is furnished by Judge Martin L.
Bundy who in answer to the inquiry, "Who was John Smith?" says:
"Well, he was the son of John Smith, a little old man who was the proprietor
of. and laid out Richmond, Wayne County, Indiana, and whom I remember as
far back as 1825. His son, John Smith, built a house and owned the lots where
my son, Eugene H. Bundy, and his family now live, opposite, but a near neigh-
bor of Charles Jamison. His house was larger than Jamison's which may have
been the reason for the removal. Smith left New Castle, prior to 1833 and settled
in Wabash where he lived for many years and where he died. The only two
things that I remember about Smith were that he was very deaf and that when
he made a visit to a neighbor, his parting salutation was, 'take notice.' I am
not sure that he was in any way distinguished, nor do I remember his vocation,
if he had one."
The jail, court house, and stray pen, or pound, being completed, a "long
spasm of retrenchment and economy" occurred, until the county, fast becoming
rich, began to grow proud, and, in 1831, ordered the building of a
SECOND COURT HOUSE (buILT OF P.RICK),
which was to be "forty feet square, walls included," the foundation "to be dug
eighteen inches beneath the surface of the ground, the walls to be two feet thick
from the foundation three feet up," the lower story to be fifteen feet high, and
the upper story to be twelve.
This time, instead of a "cabin roof" sufficiently weighted down with poles.
it was to have one of good yellow poplar "join shingles," eighteen inches in
length, "to be pitched from each square to the center," the whole to be surmounted
with an eight square cupola, eight feet in diameter, to "arise" twenty feet, eight
feet of the distance to be enclosed with "Venecian blinds," and said cupola to be
896 iiazzard's history of hexry county.
surmounted by a suitable cap from which was to be raised a spear bearing a
wooden ball, ten inches in diameter, "nicely gilt," and still above this a heat vane
and higher yet "a cross with a gilt ball on each end," and the whole surmounted
with a "neat cap" on top of the spear.
Let the reader picture to himself the transition from the little cramped up,
cabin roofed, puncheon floored, chinked and daubed, poorly lighted, hewed log
concern, standing high and dry upon six "nigger heads," and an outside chimney,
to this spacious brick, with twenty three windows of twenty four lights each, and a
large folding door and "fan light" above, with foundations hidden away the
enormous distance of eighteen inches under ground, and the whole surmounted
with a cupola, which, for architectural design and finish, must have been the
wonder of the age, and he cannot but be struck with the amazing strides in the paths
of luxury taken by our forefathers. We are amazed at the old fellows, not one
in twenty of whom had anything better than a cabin at home, to be willing to
undertake the erection of a "temple of justice" of such proportions and at such
an enormous cost, as it seemed at that time, as there were but seventy five dollars
and three fourths of a cent in the treasury to commence on.
The building was, nevertheless, sold to one Nathan Crawford, in the latter
part of the year 1831, "he being the lowest bidder," for the sum of $5,315, to be
paid on the first of January each year, for five years,' as follows : in 1832, $400; in
1833, $700; in 1834, $1,000: in 1835, $1,200; in 1836, the balance. The walls
were to be up and covered and all outside wood work was to be completed
January i, 1834, and two years was to be allowed for finishing off the costly
interior. In short, it was expected that the contractor would "push things," and
spend something like a thousand dollars a year. Robert ■\Iurphey was allowed
$2.50 for furnishing the design of this elaborate structure. About nine o'clock, on
Thursday morning, January 7, 1836, Nathan Crawford moved the commis-
sioners, Robert Murphey, Tabor W. McKee, and John Whittaker to take the job
off his hands ; which they promptly declined to do, and declared that they had
examined the "said court house" and "are of the opinion" that it is deficient in
almost every particular, that the "roof leaks," plastering is not neatly done; and
carpenter work ditto, and that the "contract is forfeited in toto, and the materials
out of which said house is constructed are, in a great many cases, deficient." This
was "rough" on the said Crawford, but he had to bear it till the March term,
when a compromise was eflfected, and the building was received at $4,500, which
was docking him $815 only.
The second or brick court house was destroyed by fire, about the time of the
assembling of a county convention, on February 13, 1864.
THE PRESENT COURT HOUSE.
After the burning of the second court house in 1864, the commissioners
rented the Murphey Hall, now occupied by the Benevolent Protective Order
of Elks, which by adoption, became the court house of the county and continued
to be so used until the new court house was ready for occupancy in 1869. At the
tifne of the conflagration, some of the public records and a great mass of
official papers, stored away in one of the jury rooms, for want of room elsewhere,
all more or less valuable, were lost or destroved.
hazzard's history of henry county. 8g7
The commissionfers, Morris F. Edwards, John Minesinger, and Elias Phelps
at once set to work to devise ways and means for the erection of a new building
dedicated to justice. There were several essential points to be secured in this
proposed edifice. It mvtst be free from dampness, which would destroy the
precious records of the county, on which so much of the "peace and quiet" of
our community depends. It must, of course, be fire proof, and sufificiently com-
modious for all legitimate purposes not only now, but for many years to come ;
must be of durable materials, and last, if least, it must be "good looking," a
monument of the enterprise and taste of the people of one of the wealthy counties
of the State. All these prerequisites, when the addition, completed in 1905, is con-
sidered in connection with the building, have been faithfully complied with. The
main building as completed in 1869 is sixty six feet wide by eighty two feet in
length, while the tower, which serves as main entrance and the initial point of the
stairway to the court room, jury room, etc., above adds some nineteen feet more,
making the extreme length one hundred and one feet. The height of the walls is
fifty feet and of the tower one hundred and ten feet from the foundation.
There is a cellar under the building with a labyrinth of arched passages which
contain furnaces and flues for heating every part of the building.
Of the capaciousness and convenience of the rooms for the county officers, on
the first floor of the building as completed in 1869, it would exceed the limits of this
work to speak more minutely. There is a large fire proof and almost burglar proof
vault cotmected with each of the offices for the storage of the abundant and val-
uable archives on file.
The'court rooms for the grand and traverse juries, sheriff's room, &c., as first
completed, reached by the main stairway, are all worthy of a more extended notice
than this work will allow. The court room itself, about sixty five feet by fifty feet,
was in 1869 one of the finest and best appointed in the State, both as to convenience
and tasteful ornamentations. The fresco painting on its walls and ceiling alone
cost about $1,400 and was at that time regarded as a work of art. In August,
1871, Elwood Pleas, in writing of this court house, said: "The entire cost of this
magnificent 'temple of Justice,' so well constructed and of such materials as to
withstand the ordinary ravages of the 'tooth of Time,' till several generations shall
have passed away, has been about $120,000. This is seemingly a large sum,
but it must be remembered that ever^-thing used, cost 'war prices,' and already, by
comparison with other public buildings, it is coming to be regarded as not too
large a sum for such a building. Although there has been no little grumbling
by some of the tax-payers, it can safely be predicted that the next generation at
least, will thank the commissioners who ordered its erection and give full credit
to Morris F. Edwards for having efficiently superintended the construction of the
same."
NEW ADDITION TO THE PRESENT COURT HOUSE.
In the Fall of the year 1903, the board of county commissioners, recognizing
the inadequate accommodations of the court house, decided to improve the build-
ing by an addition to the west end. The contract was let, December 29, 1903, to
Patrick H. McCormack and Company, for the erection of the new part. This
section of the building is sixty-eight feet, eight inches long, thus lacking but thir-
57
aga IIAZZARD S HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
teen feet of being equal in length to the original structure, and of the same width.
The new part joins flush with the old and from appearance, inside and out, it is hard
to imagine that the two sections were not erected at one time. In style of archi-
tecture, the new wing is a duplicate of the original. The completed structure occu-
pying the center of the square and surrounded by artistically kept grounds, is
massive and imposing.
The work on the new part was begun in the Spring of 1904. Tlie completed
building was accepted by the board of commissioners in April, 1905. In comparing
the two sections so nearly equal in size, one is impressed with two differences. The
first section, a recognized necessity in 1864, was completed in 1869. The other
was finished less than eighteen months after the matter was taken up by the com-
missioners. The new wing cost $44,000, the old section $120,000 — Civil War
prices.
The two parts have been made symmetrical in interior decoration, the cost
for re-decorating the entire structure, being $2,895. About $4,000 worth of new
and modern furniture has been purchased giving the offices all the conveniences of
the present time and adding the finishing touches to the otherwise handsome
quarters.
The new addition with its three floors and basement contains large and com-
modious public waiting rooms and toilets on the basement floor. The offices of
the county assessor, auditor, treasurer, and county surveyor, are on the first floor.
The Grand Army room, the law library, judge's library, and private office, two
jury rooms, a grand jury apartment and consultation rooms for attorneys, occupy
the second floor. Large storage rooms for old documents are on the third floor,
which is a subdivision of the second story. It also provides an additional room for
the county clerk and permits the establishment of a commissioner's court room in
the former recorder's ofice, the recorder occupying the former auditor's office
in the old part. The county superintendent has his office in the old office of the
county treasurer in the original building. The sheriff's office still retains its
former location in the old building.
Hot water heats the entire structure. Every modern convenience has been
installed. Marble wainscotting circles the halls. The walls are calcined and fres-
coed. The grounds are beautiful. The exterior 150 by 67 feet, is complete and
massive, the interior being handsome and convenient.
EARLIER clerk's AND RECORDER'S OFFICE.
In the earliest days of the county, the position of a county officer was not a
very lucrative one. The records of their transactions were very brief and imperfect,
and the business for a whole term of court might have been carried on a few
scraps of paper in a vest pocket. One man acted as clerk and recorder and per-
formed many of the duties now devolving upon the auditor, an office not created
for twenty years after the county was organized. In this state of affairs, some
small room that could be rented for fifteen or twenty dollars per year was all suf-
ficient for one of the officers, and, in fact, there was but little use for a room, ex-
cept at stated intervals, for a few years, and a party having business with the court
would be as likely as any way to find its clerk out in his corn field, with a hoe in
his hand, or in his clearing, grubbing.
hazzard's history of henry county. 899
Of course this sort of thing could not last always, and accordingly the com-
missioners let the building of a clerk's and recorder's office to Thomas Ginn for the
sum of $844. The same was to be a one-story brick building, eighteen feet wide
and thirty eight feet in length, divided into two rooms.
earlier auditor's and treasurer's office.
On the northeast corner of the public square, erected in 1847, by George Lowe,
contractor, for the sum of $545, was the counterpart of the last named building
in almost every particular.
These little buildings, the first named, immediately south of, and the second,
immediately north of the first brick court house and on a line fronting with it,
doubtless answered . the purpose intended quite well, when first constructed, but
the rapid accumulation of records and papers, and the great increase of public bus-
iness, and number of persons doing business, had, for a number of years, ren-
dered it apparent that their days of usefulness were drawing to a close, when the
fire of February 13, 1864, "opened the way," rather unexpectedly, for the building
of the present court house.
THE court house SQUARE.
The county of Henry, as the original owner of the townsite of New Castle,
reserved the present public square consisting of lots i, 2, 3, and 4 of block 12 of the
original plat for the Court House Square, and at that time for other public uses.
Later, it was determined that lots i, and 2, constituting the east half of the square,
would be sufficient for all county purposes, and accordingly an alley way ten
feet wide was run through the square, north and south, on the line between lots 2,
and 3, thus dividing it into two equal parts.
In November. 1835, there was a subdivision made of lots three and four,
dividing the same into five lots, three fronting on Broad Street and two on Race
Street, which lots from said subdivision were sold by the county as follows : Lot i,
July 30, 1837. to David Macy for $50; lot 2, October 5, 1837, to George B.
Rogers and Alexander Michaels for $50; lot 3, October 25, 1837, to Jehu T. Elliott
for $81 ; lot 4, November i, 1837, to Ezekiel T. Hickman for $100; lot 5. November
I, 1837, to John Taylor for $117; total for five lots $398. This property under-
went many trasfers and when the time came for the countv to use the entire pres-
ent Court House Square for county purposes, the west half of the square was oc-
cupied by residences of all the parties below named except in the case of Jacob
Movvrer who had a residence and grocery store combined, fronting on Broad
Street opposite the site of the present Ward Block.
The county bought the property of the respective owners, allowing them to re-
move the buildings, as follows: Jacob Mowrer, ,$1,300; Jacob Byer, $1,000; Helen
E. Thornburgh, wife of Alfred ]\I. Thornburgh, $400: Harmon H. Allen, $600:
total, $3,500, thus showing a difference of $3,102 between what the county sold the
property for in 1837 and what it purchased it back for, less than thirty years after.
THE first jail.
At the February term, 1823, the commissioners also ordered the sale of "the
jail of Henry County," which, they specify, shall be
900
HAZZARD S HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
"Of the dimensions fourteen feet square, seven feet between the floors, the logs to
be square ten inches, to be dovetailed at each corner and pinned; upper and lower floor
to consist of logs squared of the same dimensions, the upper floor each log to be pinned
down with one inch and one-half auger, one round of logs above the upper floor flt dovvTi.
the door to be three feet wide, the shutter to be made of two-inch oak plank doubled, and
be well spiked and hung with good and sufficient hinges to open outside with a good and
sufllcient bar with staples and lock, a cabin roof, the lower floor to be laid on two oak
sills, and the house to be built on the top thereof, one window one foot square with four-
inch square bars of iron to be sufficiently let in."
This was a very imposing- structure to a man outside, but once shut in, say
in July or August, especially if there were several of the "four inch square"' iron
bars across the one window (a foot square), all efforts to escape must have soon
become quite feeble. The reader of these specifications (which were doubtless
clear enough to the commissioners,) may be a little puzzled to determine whether
"the house to be built oh the top thereof" was to be placed on the lower floor, or
whether the house was to have a second story intended for a jailer's residence or
some such purpose. It was subsequently ordered that the jail should be com-
pleted before the second Monday in August, and that the clerk should issue a
county order to the builder for twenty dollars so soon as the building should be
"erected to the height of four rounds." Obediah R. Weaver, being the lowest
bidder, undertook "the faithful performance" of the contract for $120.
Although this building was to have been completed in August, 1823, it is
found that, in May, 1824, the board refused to receive it, "inasmuch as it considered
that the same had not been executed according to contract." The building was
subsequently received of Mr. Weaver, and forty five dollars paid in full for the
work ; twenty dollars having been previously advanced, when the structure was
btit "four rounds high." This jail was soon found to be inadequate, and the grow-
ing wants of the times induced the commissioners to order the "selling" of
THE SECOND JAII..
which was also to be built of timber. It was really to be an extension of the old
one, the door of which was to be taken away and the space filled with logs. The
addition was to be built adjoining the old part, leaving only eight inches between,
which was afterward to be filled with timber. The new part was to have one
window like the old one, one foot square, and when carried up to the height of the
old one, a second stor\- was to be built on, of logs, extending over both, and to be
entered from one end by a "strong stairway," and the only entrance to the lower
story was to be through a strong trap door, two feet square, "to be made secure
with a strong bar of iron and good and sufficient lock, &c. Once let down into one
of these "black holes," the most hardened desperado could dismiss all fears of "the
dogs biting him" so long as his incarceration continued. On the 7th of January,
1830, Moses Brown, undertook the reconstruction of said jail, for the sum of
$97-50- which was certainly cheap enough even in those days.
The rule that all things earthly must pass away seems to have made no ex-
ceptions in favor of Henrv County jails. In less than five years from the comple-
tion of the second jail or "goal," the commissioners ordered a third to be advertised
and erected. This time the exter 'al walls were to be of brick. The foundation

was to be set in the ground two feet, and to be twenty eight inches in thickness.
Above, the wall was to be thirteen inches thick, and eighteen feet by twenty five in
dimensions, and two stories in height. The floor of the prisons or "dungeons" was
to be of good oak timber ten inches thick, and, on top of this a floor of good oak
plank one and one half inches thick. Just inside the brick walls and on top of
the floor, was to be "built a log wall" of "hewn timber, ten inches square, to be laid
down half dovetailed," and seven feet high. And this was to be lined with one
and one half inch beech plank, and "cross lined" and well spiked on with "cut
spikes, six inches in length" and not to exceed three inches distant. The wooden
walls were to be continued so as to make two tiers of dungeons, but the upper ones
were not required to be so well lined, or otherwise made so strong. The upper
story was, doubtless, intended for the more corrigible class of culprits, while the
more hardened sinners were to be "sent below." The dungeons in the lower story
were to be ready for occupants by the third Monday of October, and the whole
structure, by the first Monday in May, 1836.
"At a sale held at the court house," to "sell the building of the goals," ]\Iiles
Murphey "bid off the same for $1,100," $500 to be paid January i, 1836, and the
residue in one year. This work was done according to contract, and the structure,
with little amendment, stood the racket until about 1850.
The nmsty records of the board of commissioners showed that the constant bill
of expense for guarding prisoners was such that February 11, 1851, they ordered
the building of another jail. Elisha Clift appears to have been the architect and
Jacob Elliott was selected to purchase materials and superintend it under the im-
mediate orders of the commissioners. It was two stories in height, and thirty six
by forty feet, was of brick with a stone floor, the cell wall being of hewn timber
and lined with boiler iron and cost about $3,500. This iail stood until torn down
to make room for the present court house.
In locating the site of the last jail, it must be considered that before the build-
ing of the present court house (without the new addition) the present public square
was cut in two by an alley ten feet wide, running through the center of the square,
north and south. Only that part of the square east of the alley was occupied for
county purposes, the balance, west of the alley, being used for residences, as is
shown, in considering the construction of the present court house. This last men-
tioned jail stood nearly flush with Broad Street, at the northwest corner of the
lot. made by the alley and stood about opposite the present Ward Block. The two
preceding jails occupied practically the same ground.
THE PRESENT JAIL.
The present county prison is a fine well built structure, in shape, somewhat
like p capital letter "T," with the top of the letter representing the front of the
building, which is used as the jailor's resilience. The building is complete in all
its appointments, is two stories in height, with a cellar underneath, containing a
furnace, &c.. for warming the whole. Externally the building has the appearance
of being all brick, with stone window frames secured with heavy iron rods, behind
which are heavy plate glass of such a peculiar make that they do not obstruct the
light while they tell none the secrets of the interior. Inside the brick wall is a
thick stone one, or rather the wall is half stone and half of brick, and just inside
902 HAZZARDS HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
the Stone is an iron lining of boiler iron. Next comes a corridor about three feet
wide, and then an iron grating, made of heavy iron bars through which pass one
and one eighth inch rods of iron. This arrangement extends through both stories.
Inside of this formidable grating, is another passage way or corridor entirely
surrounding the cells, or strong boxes, which are made of heavy iron grating and
boiler iron.
The first floor is of massive stone slabs, about fifteen inches in thickness, and
the second floor is of iron. There are eighteen cells in the building, not likely to
be all filled at one time.
The structure was built with an eye to the safety of its inmates, and, not-
withstanding a mishap or two has occurred, it is not easy to see how a safer trap
can reasonably be constructed, and it is the opinion of good judges that, with reas-
onable care on the part of the keeper to ward off outside influence, the most ex-
pert jail-bird could be kept till doomsday.
The cost of the building was about $40,000. Robert Cluggish, most efficiently
superintended its erection.
THE PRESENT JAIL SITE.
The present jail' site and grounds occupy lot one and the east half of lot two in
block five of the original plat of New Castle. The west half of lot two and all of
lot three, thus comprising all the lots in block five, is occupied by what is known
as the Jacob Brenneman residence. This block is bounded on the east by Twelfth
Street, on the north by Vine Street, on the west by Eleventh Street, and on the
south by a continuation of Livery Alley. The county was the original owner of
this property. Through its agent. Ezekiel Leavell, on May 8, 1834, it sold lots one
and three to Samuel Hawn for five dolUirs. The center lot, number two, was con-
sidered so valueless that the countv abandoned the same and accordingly on Au-
gust 25, 1834, it was sold for taxes by Wesley Goodwin, collector of taxes for
Henry County, "to the said Samuel Hawn for thirty three cents. Thus the
county derived a total revenue of $5.33 from the entire block.
That part of the block occupied by the Brenneman residence has changed
hands but few times since Hawn bought it, and as far back as the author of this
History can remember, more than fifty years, it was in the possession of Jacob
Brenneman and is now owned by his heirs.
The east half of the block underwent many transfers and when the time came
for the county to buy it for the purpose for which it is now used, it was owned and
occupied by Thomas C. Jordan, now ahd for half a century, past, a resident of New
Castle, the county paying him therefor, on March 11, 1868, $1,200. The frame
house on this lot was of no particular value to the county and was immediately
torn down to make way for the jail. Thus, what the county sold in 1834 for
$2,665^ fone half the price of the block) it bought back, thirty four years later at
an advance of $1,197,331^.
STRAY PEN.
A stray pen or pound, in early days, was considered an indispensable appur-
tenance of every "well regulated" county. Stock was much more given to straying,
no doubt, in early times than at the present. The love of home, or faculty of in-
HAZZARD S HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.

habitiveness, was probably not so well developed then as now, while the powers of
locomotion were generally much better, especially with the porkers. The time and
money lost in looking up lost stock in this or any other new county, seventy-five
years ago, notwithstanding the comparatively small amount kept, was much larger
than at present, and, doubtless, led the assembled wisdom of our general assemblies
to give it more careful thought than they now apparently devote to some of
the great question of the hour.
By an act of the General Assembly, 1824, it was made the duty of the "com-
missioners in each and every county in the State to cause a pound to be erected at
or near the court houses, with a good and sufficient fence, gate, lock, and key, where
all stray horses, mules and asses, above two years old, taken up within twenty miles
of the court house, shall be kept on the first day of every circuit court, for three suc-
ceeding terms, after the same shall be taken up, from eleven until three o'clock in
each day, that the owner may have the opportunity of claiming his, her, or their
property, and any person having taken up such property, and living more than
twenty miles from the court house, shall not be compelled to exhibit it more than
once.
In obedience to some such act as this, the Henry County Commissioners or-
dered to be "'sold" the
"Erecting of a poimd, commonly called a stray pen, the said pen to be erected in
the southwest corner of the public square, the said pen is to be forty feet square, to be
erected at least five feet high, and of good and durable timber commonly called a post
and rail fence, with a gate and lock to the same,"
Alinor Fox undertook this great "'public enterprise" for the sum of $12.50 and
"gave bond with sureties approved of by the commissioners of Henry County,"
and faithfully performed the labor within four months in so satisfactory a man-
ner that the cominissioners accepted it. and luade him tin- fir-t pi mnd-keeper.
The stray pen or pound was located on the public >i|iKnc. immediately in the
rear and south of the jail site which locates it in the ceiucr of the present public
square, the south end extending to Race Street. The "gate and lock to the same"'
was on the corner of the alley, near the Race Street side of the pound.
The buildings and belongings of the establishment where the count\"s poor
are cared for ought to be a matter of more interest to the people of Henry than is
generally manifested. Caring for those unfortunate persons who have from any
cause, become unable to care for themselves, has been accepted by the county com-
missioners as a duty, ever since the meeting of the first board, in 1822, and. although
the arrangement for the comfort of paupers may have seemed parsimonious at times,
surroundirg circumstances must be taken into account. It would never do to make
the fare, comforts, and general attractiveness of the asylum such that able-bodied,,
but lazy, shiftless, persons, of whom there are a few in every comiriunity. would
seek for a residence at the county home, and besides the item, "on account of poor,"
has ever been a lai-ge one in the "btidget" of Henry County, and it is largely oti the
increase.
904 HAZZARD S HISTORY OF HENRY COUXTY.
On March 8, 1839, Commissioners Shawhan, Corwine and Ball, purchased of
William Silver a farm of one hundred and sixty acres, about one mile northwest
of New Castle, for the sum of $2,000. In May following, a contract was made with
John D. Fooshee for keeping the paupers as well as the building of a "poor house,"
and it was also ordered that "all persons who are now, or may hereafter become, a
county charge, shall be removed, as the law directs, to the poor house provided for
that purpose."
Just what sort of a house this was to be (probably built of logs) or the price
paid to the man who bought it the records do not show, but, on the 4th of January.
1844, a special session of the board was called to receive sealed proposals for the
building of another house, which was to be of brick with a cellar under one wing,
fourteen by thirty feet. The size of said building is not specified, but it was to
have a porch on three sides of the same, with fourteen posts and banisters between
from which it maj' be inferred that it was of considerable size. The brick were
to be burned on the place, and all the sills, sleepers, posts, and plates were to be got
off the farm. The brick work was to be painted red and penciled with white, and
the porch painted drab. John Shroyer, Miles Murphey, and Dr. Joel Reed were
appointed to superintend the building of the said house. John H. Polsley under-
took the work for $1,100, and was allowed, for extra work, the sum of twenty
dollars. The superintendents each received twenty dollars for their services.
This building was burned down and the paupers rendered homeless. May 9,
T855, when the commissioners promptly ordered the building of another and
more commodious structure at an expense of about $7,000 which is the present
county asylum, since considerably remodeled and enlarged.
Mark Modlin was the superintendent of the county asylum at the time of
its destruction by fire. He then moved onto his farm, three and one half miles west
of New Castle, the same farm being now occupied by his son, Alcander Modlin,
and here under contract with the county commissioners, he kept the county paupers
until March, i860, when the new building was readv for occupancv, and when the
unfortunates were brought in and given into the care of the new superintendent,
Alvis Haguewood.
For two or three years after the asylum was established, the contract was made
with Fooshee to care for the paupers that might, from time to time, be sent to
him at the rate of $1.25 per head per week, with some little extra allowance in
"extreme cases," he paying $150 for the rent of the farm.
In 1841 the commissioners resolved to turn over a new leaf, and so they let the
contract to "board, clothe and feed" all paupers, and "to treat them in a humane
manner, and especiallv to attend to the moral instruction of said paupers." to
Samuel Hoover and Mark Modlin, for three vears from March i, 1842, at one dol-
lar per capita per week, they paying $125 for rent of the farm. At the end of
this time, they called for "sealed proposals" for keeping the paupers, raising the rent
of the farm to $1 50. The position had come to be looked upon as being so desirable
that there was strife over it and Mr. Fooshee instituted an unsuccessful suit to
secure possession of it, after the contract was awarded to other parties for three
vears. In 1844, he was a successful applicant, giving twenty five dollars more than
had been previously paid for the use of the farm, and agreeing to take, "board.
clothe, feed, and lodge," and morally instruct all paupers, for sixty two and one
IIAZZARDS HISTORY OF HEJIRY COUNTY. 905
lialf cents per head per week, and bring in no other charge whatever. This was
quite a coming down, but, after he had given bond to the satisfaction of the hoard,
he seems to have "flew the track," and Mark Modlin was awarded the prize at sev-
enty five cents per head per week, for one year.
Afterward the rent of the farm was reduced to $ioo per year, and seventy five
cents per week was allowed for keeping the paupers, and to "board, clothe, feed,
humanely treat, arid morally instruct," &c., which was cheap as dirt.
It is pleasant to know that our late commissioners have turned over still
another leaf, and do not let that important charge on the sole condition of economy,
and yet there is no loud complaint on this score.
The farm has been enlarged to about three liundred acres, much of the later
purchases being first class bottom land. John W. Bell is the present superin-
tendent, having under 'his charge now, about fifty persons nearly equally divided
in sex. The annual average cost for maintenance "for each inmate is estimated by
Superintendent Bell to be about forty dollars. The value of the land without im-
provements, is stated by the same authority to be $60 per acre and that the value of
the improvements is $12,000, thus making the value of the farm at the rate of
one hundred dollars per acre. However, in the opinion of the author of this His-
tory. Superintendent Bell's value of the land is entirely too low. The author
thinks the land alone, without the buildings is worth $100 per acre. Value of per-
sonal property of all kinds is $4,000. The buildings are heated by steam, the
county owning and operating its own plant. Mrs. Mary E. Bell, wife of the super-
intendent, is the matron of the asylum. The annual salaries paid at the present
time, are: superintendent, $500; matron, $130, the county paying for the services
of extra hands when needed.

William Silver, who sold the first land purchased liv the cnuntx" for the
county asylum farm, was a pioneer merchant of Xew Castle, and Judqe ^ilartin L.
Bundy, being requested to give his personal recollection of Mr. Silver, says :
"William Silver came to New Castle in 1830 from Warren County, Ohio,
and opened a dry goods store. He was then a young married man. He subse-
quently purchased the lot on which now stands the Shroyer Building and he built
thereon a frame building for a store room and residence and continued his busi-
ness until 1838, when he removed to Pendleton. The carpenter who did the work
was Dr. James A', ^^^ayman, then a young man.
9o6 hazzard's history of henry county.
■'At the time Silver came, Judge Jehu T. ElHott and Miles Murphey were
young men and both applicants for a clerkship in his store. Silver chose Murphey
because he had $i6o which he could lend him and Elliott had no money. This
circumstance made Murphey a merchant and Elliott a lawyer in life time bus-
iness.
"Silver owned and sold to the county, the present poor farm or asylum. Prior
to this, paupers were auctioned to the person who would take them for the least
price."
THE FIRST orphan's HOME AT SPICELAND.
Miss Susan Fussell, of Chester County, Pennsylvania, in March, 1877, vis-
ited a county home conducted by a family named Johnson at Danville, Indiana, for
the care of the county children of Hendricks County, and having under her charge
certain soldiers' orphan children, was impressed with the plan employed in
Hendricks County. In April of the same year she moved to Spiceland, Henry
County, with five of the soldiers' orphan children, these alone remaining of the
ten children of whom she had assumed charge in 1865, after the war. The plan
for a home similar to that in Hendricks County was formed in her mind.
"In September, 1877, she applied to the county commissioners of Henry
county, Cyrus \"an Matre, William D. Cooper and Ithamer W. Stuart, for the
children then in the county asvlum. offering for the sum. of twenty five cents per
day per child, to feed, clothe, nurse, and educate them, until suitable homes could
be found for them.
"The proposition was kept before the commissioners at every session of their
court for almost three years before they acceded to it. and then it was accepted on
condition that Miss Fussell receive twenty three cents instead of twenty five cents
per day for each child.
"So thoroughly convinced was she of the practicability and excellence of the
plan, and of the great need of something being done to give these children a
chance for an independent and honorable life that she consented to the terms,
March, 1880, rented a suitable house at her own expense and at the same time
contributed $500 to the institution which was never repaid to her. and received
into the home on June 8. 1880, the nine children sent her from the Henry County
Asylum."
It was largely due to the efforts of ]\Iiss Fussell and others interested in
the work that the General Assembly, April 7, 1881, passed a law authorizing the
county commissioners in each county to appoint as matron, a woman of good
moral character, and judgment, and suitable age. haviiig experience in the care and
training of children and to put in her care, at some suitable and convenient place
not connected with the county asylum, all pauper children of sound mind between
the ages of one and sixteen years. The matron was to be paid not less than
twenty five and not more than thirtv cents daily for each inmate. Accordingly,
after the passage of this law, the commissioners paid I\Iiss Fussell twentv five cents
daily per child instead of twenty three cents.
The law made it the duty of the commissioners to appoint a "committee of
three competent persons * * * to examine into the condition of the home and the
HAZZARD S HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY. 9O7
manner in which the children therein are kept and treated by the matron * * * at
least once every three months and report to the board the result of their examin-
ation. L
The commissioners, June 1882, appointed Mrs. Martha A. White, of Spice-
land : Mrs. William M. Ewing, of 'Knightstown, and ]\Irs. Sarah A. R. Boor, of
New Castle, to serve on this committee, the duties of which in a more limited
sphere, were very similar to those of the present county board of charities. Later.
Mrs. Ewing, removing to Kansas, Mrs. Maggie Watson, of Dunreith, was ap-
pointed to fill her place. When, April i, 1887, Miss Fussell having become inca-
paciated through illness and age to act as matron and carry on the heavy duties in-
volved, resigned, Mrs. Watson gave up her place as a member of the committee
to permit the appointment of Miss Fussell, who lived near the home and was so
familiar with the work. Miss Fussell served faithfully as did the other two ladies,
until her death, July 19, 1889, when her sister, Ada Fussell, succeeded her. The
committee as constituted, continued its service unbrokenly as long as the Spice-
land Home was maintained.
x\fter the plan was arranged with Miss Fussell in 1880, the county leased the
property in Spiceland where the home was kept during its existence. A year later,
June 24, 1881, the property was purchased of Edmund and James White for
$2,500. It was rented to Miss Fussell at $144 annually for the house and $25 for
the ground which consisted of about seven acres. The house and buildings were
continually enlarged and improved. The grounds were beautified with flower beds
and walks and with fruit trees and garden. Much of the expense of this was
borne by. Miss Fussell who frequently contributed from her private purse to the
success of her plan and to the welfare of the children. The property acquired b>'
the commissioners, with improvements, grew in value to $4,200. Prior to 1885,
the rate per child was raised to thirty cents daily and was so maintained.
Miss Fussell was greatly assisted in her work by her sister, Miss Ada Fus-
sell, who served without compensation and greatly improved the education of the
children by her kindergarten work. They were taught useful facts and methods
of house work and various out door employments. Instructors were provided for
them. The care and attention were of the best.
Under the supervision of the founder and her sister, the home continued to
flourish. About ninety children had been cared for and at least two thirds of them
had found good homes in the county, up to the 3'ear 1887. In this year, in April,
failing health made necessary the resignation of Miss Fussell as matron. ]Miss
Martha E. Hadley was appointed to the position and filled the same faithfully and
efficiently during the continued existence of the home.
On October 3'!, 1893. a contract was made by the commissioners, with Julia
E. Work, superintendent of the Northern Indiana Orphans' Home at Lapoi-te, In-
diana, to deliver to her from the Spiceland Home, twenty two children who were
to be cared for by her and placed in private homes, she to receive $35 for each
child when placed in a private home. This contract annulled a similar one previ-
ously made on September, 28, 1893, with the Children's Home Society of Indianap-
olis, the latter having been for $50 per child instead of $35.
There had been considerable agitation concerning the expense attached to the
care of the children and there was a dissension among the commissioners and inter-
r)o8 hazzard's history of henry county.
ested county officers regarding the advisability of maintaining the County Or-
phan's Home at Spiceland. The money side prevailed : the conveniences resulting
from years of hard and patient work were overlooked : the congenial surroundings
which made the children, happy and content, completely lost their value. It was
decided that it would be cheaper for the county to enter into the contract with
Mrs. Work.
On December 5, 1893. the commissioners contracted with the German Bap-
tist Home at Honey Creek to care for the dependent children of the county, not then
transferred to ^Irs. W'orlc's Home, at the rate of "five children at forty cents each,
daily, ten children at tliirt} five cents each, daily, fifteen children at thirty cents
each, daily, or forty children at twenty five cents each, daily" that institution to be
free from taxation while acting as servant of the county. This contract removed
the few remaining children from Spiceland and gave the finishing blow to the
Home at that place, which had been in existence for more than thirteen years.
The home at Spiceland was sold for a greatly reduced sum in consideration of
the improvements made on it and the advantages it ofTered. The work of a noble
woman was brought to naught. Miss Fussell had died before the creation for
which she had labored so unsparingly, was wrecked. She was thus spared the pain
of seeing her life work destroyed. The Home, which had promised so much for
the children and for the county, was no more.
The author of this History acknowledges himself indebted to that noble,
charitable woman, a former member of the committee for the Spiceland Orphans'
Home, Mrs. Sarah A. R. Boor, for the information contained in this article.
AGED person's HOME AND ORPHAN ASYLUM FOR THE GERMAN BAPTIST CHURCH
OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF INDIANA.
The beginning of organized effort for the care of aged members and orphan
children of the German Baptist Congregation, in the Southern District of Indiana
began to be discussed as early as 1881, and the work began to take form about
that date, by the circulation of subscription papers in the several congregations of
the district and the soliciting of means to secure a site, and funds for building.
In 1883, an amount of sufficient importance had been secured to permit of organiza-
tion which was effected at a meeting held at Beech Grove in the northern part of
Henry County in 1883. Five trustees were selected into whose hands was placed
the power of taking out articles of association. The names of the first board of
trustees with the length of time for which they were chosen, were as follows :
Jacob W. Yost, five years ; James M. Wyatt, four years : John Hart, three years ;
John L. Krall, two years : Joseph D. Neher, one year.
On March i. 1883, Jacob W. Yost, James M. Wyatt, and John L. Krall met
Jacob P. Miller, on the farm near Honey Creek, Henry County, Indiana, where the
home now stands, and completed negotiations for its purchase by which they were
to secure one hundred and forty acres of land for the sum of seven thousand dol-
lars, four thousand of which was paid in cash, Jacob P. Miller, donating one
thousand dollars of this amount.
Articles of association, drawn by Frank ^^'. Fitzhugh, a lawyer of New Cas-
tle, were entered into on July 31, 1883, and transcribed into a book which is in pos-

session of the secretary. The corporate seal as set out in article eight of the above
mentioned articles of association was designed by David W. Kinsey and others.
The legend "Pro Deo, Ecclesia et Re Publica" (For God, The Church and the
State) is understood to have been contributed by Adolph Rogers, of New Castle.
The names subscribed to the articles of association are John Hart, of Beechy
Mire, Union County, Indiana; Jacob W. Yost, Sulphur Springs, Henry County,
Indiana, and James M. Wyatt, Hagerstown. Wayne County, Indiana. In Decem-
ber of the same }ear in a district meeting held near the home in the Upper Fall
Creek Church, David F. Hoover was selected as one of the trustees instead of
Joseph D. Neher, deceased.
In i8S6, the first building was erected by Waltz and Thornburgh, of Hagers-
town, Indiana, at a cost of $3,000. It did its duty well but was considered insuf-
ficient for the growing work and in 1901, a second building was erected, Isaac H.
Miller, of Middletown, being the architect, which cost about $2,500, and is fitted
out for the aged people and is called "The Home," while tlie old building is called
"The Orphanage."
The first superintendent employed by the trustees was John .S. McCarty, of
Clarksville, Indiana. He remained at the head of the institution for six years, and
was succeeded by John Brunk, of Middletown, Indiana, who held the position for
five years. Calvin Hooke succeeded John Brunk but gave over the work to his suc-
cessor at the end of one year. A. C. Snowberger took charge of the work in Sep-
tember, 1898 and continued for four years, when the present superintendent, Moses
Smelzer^ of Noblesville, took charge.
The first inmate was Jane Orr, of Ladoga, Montgomery County, Indiana, who
entered the home, December 30. 1886, and remained there nearly twelve years.
.Since she entered many have come and gone for whom the final step of life has
been made pleasant and happy in this excellent home. Manv poor children have
been provided with good homes through the agency of this institution, and twice,
the county of Henry has contracted with this home to care for its dependent chil-
dren.
In 1899, the General .Assembly passed a law forbidding the detention of de-
pendents between the ages of three and seventeen years for more than ten days in
the County Poor Asylum. In 1901, this was amended, increasing the length of
time to sixty days.
The first contract made by the Henry County Commissioners with the Ger-
man Baptist Home to care for its children was made December 5, 1893, as hereto-
fore stated. On April 10, igoi, the second contract was made by the commis-
sioners with the German Baptist Home to care for its dependent children at the rate
of twenty five cents per day for each child. This contract continued in force until
May I, 1905, when the Bundy Home at Spiceland, was opened. Part of the chil-
dren at the Baptist Home and a few still remaining at Plymouth were taken to
Spiceland and owing to the greater convenience of the Spiceland Home, the com-
missioners decided to send all future dependents of proper age to that iilacc.
Following the abandonment of the first County Orphan's Home which had
been maintained at Spiceland since 1880, the children dependent on the county
were in part taken to a home then superintended by Julia E. Work at Laporte,
Indiana, who subsequently removed to Plymouth, Marshall Countv, Indiana, and

has since maintained tliere the well known Plymouth Home which has grown to
such large size. Until April lo, 1901, children continued to be sent to the home
of Mrs. Work but the inconvenience of taking children such a distance and the
expense attached to the trip decided the board to send all county children to the
Baptist institution. Still another advantage sought by the commissioners in mak-
ini;- ihc cliaii-c to the Baptist establishment was to give the children the benefit of a
more individual attention than could be accorded them in the Plymouth Home
which had grown very large. The Baptist home not only offered its cleanliness and
well kept apartments as an inducement, but in addition, it could give the children
more of the home life than could be given them in the larger place where so much
routine and system is necessary.
Thus for years the German Baptist Home has been very closely associated with
the other benevolent institutions of the county. Many homeless, children have
found here a good residence or through this institution, have been taken into
good homes. Its care has always been of the best and the conditions surrovmding
the home are very pleasant.
The author of this History acknowledges himself indebted to the Reverend
David F. Hoover for the information contained in this article. In the opinion
of the author, it is owing to the attention and care that David F. Hoover has de-
voted to this home that it has reached its present high degree of excellence and has
accomplished so much good.
THE BUNDY HOME .\T SPICELAND.
On May i, 1905, for the second time, an institution for the care of orphan and
homeless children was opened at Spiceland. The "Children's Home" as it is known,
was the result of a joint conference of the commissioners of the counties of Henry
and Rush. The joint meeting of the commissioners came after a proposition made
by j\Irs. Ella Bundy, fomierly in charge of the home at Rushville, to establish a
home for the dependent children of the two counties. Spiceland was selected by
the commissioners as the most desirable location for such a home, on account of its
convenient location and the many advantages ofifered there for the care of chil-
dren.
Acting largelv on the advice of the commissioners of the two counties, Mrs.
Bundv purchased the Kersev K. Kirk home in the west part of Spiceland, adjoining •
the academy on the western boundary. It is a fine piece of land particularly adapted
for its present use. It contains six acres and has a large house, barn, and other
buildings. The property was purchased for $4,000 and Mrs. Bundy has since
greatly improved and added to it, at an additional expense of $1,200. Large
dormitories have been arranged for the boys and for the girls. Play rooms and
other conveniences for the children have been fitted up. The house now contains
fourteen rooms.
The commissioners of the counties of Henry and Rush entered into a three
year's contract with Mrs. Bundv, after the purchase of the land, to care for all
county children between the ages of two and seventeen at the rate of twenty five
cents per day, per child, and for all children under that age at the rate of $3.00 per
week. For this price, Mrs. Bundy feeds, clothes, educates and otherwise exer-
HAZZARDS HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY. QII
cises maternal care over the children, doctoring them when ill, at her own expense,
save in case of contagious disease.
The place was bought on March 2, 1905, and was opened for the reception of
the children on May ist. At present there are twenty five children under the care
of Mrs. Bundy. Seventeen of these are boys and eight are girls. Twelve of the
children are from Henry County and thirteen are from Rush. They range in age
from nine months to fifteen years.
Practically the entire ground surrounding the house, with the exception of
nearly an acre, which is in grass and is used for a play ground, is under cultivation.
Mrs. Bundv raises a great variety of fruits and vegetables and interests the children
in the cultivation so that they all have some little task to do each day and not only
keep out of mischief but are benefited by the knowledge they gain. The children
are also taught in a general way, the work of caring for the house, so that in a short
time they acquire a knowledge of practical things which will always be of use to
them. The children are kept clean and are apparently happy. Their food is of the
best and their dining quarters are light, airy and very clean. Their dormitories
and beds are extremely neat and as comfortable as the most fastidious could de-
sire.
Onlv one inconvenience is now noticeable in the home, this being the ease with
which parents from either county may come to see their children. The tendency
of such visits is to make the children homesick and dissatisfied. Parents, in some
cases too, are inclined to have their children cared for at the expense of the county,
if thev can see them frequently, whereas if the visit was not so convenient, they
would care" for them themselves. This difficulty will be overcome soon, however,
by the strict enforcement of a ruling limiting the number and frequency of the visits
of the parents,
COUNTY' BOARD OF CHARITIES AND CORRFXTIONS.
The following, from section one of an act passed in 1899, by the General
Assembly of the State of Indiana, for the purpose of providing "Boards of County
Charities and Corrections," resulted in the appointment, June 19, 1902, of such a
board in the county of Henry, by Judge William O. Barnard, then presiding.
"Be it enacted that in each county of the State the judge of the
circuit court may, and upon the petition of fifteen reputable citizens, shall appoint
six persons not more than three of whom shall be of the same political party or
belief, and not more than four of whom shall be men, who shall constitute a Board
of County Charities and Corrections, to serve without compensation, two of whom,
as indicated by the judge of the circuit court, shall serve for one f i) year, two
for two (2) years, and two for three (3) years, and upon the resignation or ex-
piration of the term of each, his or her successor shall in like manner be appointed
for the term of three (3) years."
The members of this board as constituted by Judge Barnard were John H.
Hewitt living east of New Castle, Benjamin S. Parker, and Mrs. Julia A. Loer
of New Castle, Mrs. Anna D. Welsh of IMiddletown, William S. IMofifat of Ken-
nard, and Mrs. Richard Wagoner of Knightstown. Mr. Parker and I\Irs. Loer
served the full three years. Mr. Hewitt and Mrs. Wagoner were appointed for
the two-vear term. Mr. Mofifat and Mrs. Welsh were assigned to the short term.
912 HAZZAKDS HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
one year. Up to the present time, all members of the board have been re-
appointed at the expiration of their respective terms by Judge Barnard's successor,
Judge John M. Morris.
The law providing for the creation of the board, directs that a chairman and
secretary shall be elected at the first meeting of the board which shall be "within
one week after receiving the notice of appointment." At the present time and
since the board was organized, the officers have been John H. Hewitt, Chair-
man, and Mrs. Anna D. Welsh, Secretary.
This board acts as "the eyes and ears of the county." It has no executive
power. Its duties consist in visiting the various lockups, county poor asylum,
orphan's home, jail, "and any other charitable or correctional institutions, receiv-
ing support from public funds, that may exist in the county at least once
each quarter," and reporting to the county commissioners once each quarter the
results of such visits and investigations. Similar reports are transmitted to the
state board of charities which at all times acts as an advisory board and in some
measure directs the work and actions of the county board.
The chief benefit of the board is in the publicity it is empowered and author-
ized to give to the methods used in conducting the county benevolent institutions,
and to the condition in which it finds them. It acts as an advisor to the county
commissioners and at all tiines may report to the commissioners such plans for
improvement or remedy as it deems advisable. It tends to act as a check on
carelessness or mis-management on the part of county officers having charge of
these institutions.
The law provides that "the county council in each county shall appropriate
and the board of county commissioners shall allow, not to exceed fifty dollars
($50) each year for the actual expenses of said Board of County Charities and
Corrections." The economy of the Henry County board is apparent from the
fact that the entire expense of the board for the term of its existence has not yet
exceeded twenty dollars. The amount is trifling when compared with the possi-
bilities for good which exist in this board.

the first courts and first attorneys.
The First Meeting Place of the Courts — The Commissioners' Court — Ap-
pointment OF THE First County Agent — The Board of Justices— The
Circuit- Court — The Grand Jury — Early Presentments — Early' Trials
— First Attorneys.
The act of the General Assembly organizing the county of Henry provided
that the "Circuit Court and all other courts shall meet and be holden at the
house of Joseph Hobson, until suitable accommodation can be had at the county
seat." The same act, however, provided that the Circuit Court might, if in its
wisdom it deemed it advisable, remove to some more suitable place. '
commissioners' court.
In accordance with these provisions, the Commissioners' Court assembled
"at the house of Joseph Hobson" on June lo, 1822, and we find the following as
the first record of an official character ever made in the county of Henry :
"Jvne Term for the year 1822.
"At a meeting of the Board of County Commissioners, in and for tlie County of
Henry. State of Indiana, on Monday, the 10th day of June, A. D. 1822, present Allen Shep-
herd and Samuel Goble. Esqrs., who produced their respective certificates and were sworn
into office by Jesse Healey, Esq.. Sheriff of the county aforesaid, as is required by the Con-
stitution and laws of this State."
As the Commissioners meant business, their first act, after taking" the oath of
ofiice. was the appointment of Rene Julian, Clerk of the Board, he being the
Clerk of the Circuit Court elect, and the second order reads :
"Ordered by the Board, that the Court adjourn until to-morrow morning at ten
o'clock, (Signed),
"Allen Shepherd,
"s.^muel goble."
Elisha Shortridge, who was doubtless elected at the same time as Shepherd
and Goble, did not put in an appearatice until the July term, when he "appeared
and presented his credentials in due form," and now Goble was absent, from some
cause not mentioned. From time to time the record shows that the Board met
"at the house of Joseph Hobson" until the May term, 1823, following, when it

lAZZARDS HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
met at the house of Charles Jamison, in New Castle. Of Charles Jamison, Judge
Martin L. Bundy furnishes the only information obtainable which is as follows :
"The house of Charles Jamison was a double cabin, built of round logs,
which stood flush with the south side of what is now Church Street, about half
way between Main and Twelfth streets, which locates it in rear of the Nixon
residence, and diagonally southeast, and across the street from the Presbyterian
Church. I do not remember when it "disappeared. It was probably built in 1820
and was the first house ever built on the town site of New Castle. It was a most
convenient place for the transaction of the business of the new county of Henry,
because there was no other house in New Castle.
"Charles' Jamison was a small man physically, and was about the size of the
late Andrew Nicholson. I do not know from what State he emigrated, probably,
however from Tennessee, which was the State from which his son-in-law, Isaac
Bedsaul, came. I do not remember his wife, but her daughter, Polly Bedsaul,
who died of cholera in 1833, I remember very well, she being so kind to me
when I was a small boy. I do not think Charles Jamison had any sons. He
died, I think, at the house of Henry Courtney, two miles southeast of New Castle,
about 1836. I do not know that he had any regular occupation, and he was
rather too old to work when I knew him."
The Board met in June, July, August, and November, 1823, and yet the
records of their doings fill but eighteen small pages, while the proceedings of three
terms are crowded into eight pages, each one of which was about twice as large as
this page. The adopted court house was a "second-hand cabin," which had been
moved up from the bottom, west of town, and was, perhaps, twelve by sixteen or
sixteen by eighteen feet square, and without chinking or daubing.
The second day of the first term seems to have been a busy day, as William
Shannon, Dilwin Bales, and Abraham Heaton were appointed superintendents of
several school sections. Shannon was also made Treasurer and John Dorrah
was appointed Lister of the county. A poll tax of twenty five cents was levied for
county purposes, and Dudley, Wayne, Henry and Prairie townships were created,
and elections were ordered to be held in each. Inspectors were appointed for
each, after which the Board adjourned "until the first Monday in July next"
(1823).
The act of the General Assembly organizing the county provided for the
appointment of an agent for the county, who was to receive donations of grounds
made for the purpose of a county seat, buildings, etc. The July term was called
for the purpose of appointing such agent, and "the lot fell upon" Ezekiel Leavell,
of whom biographical mention is made in connection with the location of
New Castle. He was duly charged with the duty of superintending the sale of
town lots in the New Castle that was to be, the making of deeds, and, in addition,
when a court house, a jail, or a stray pen was to be constructed, the Agent was
ordered to "oflFer for sale to the lowest bidder, in the town of New Castle, the
building of the court house of Henry County," or the erecting of a "pound, com-
monly called a stray pen." or the "jail of Henry County," as the case might be.
The Commissioners' Court was a very important institution in early times.
Treasurers, Collectors, Listers, Constables, Pound-keepers, Supervisors, Road-
viewers, County Agents, Township Agents, Superintendents of school sections

(section sixteen of every Congressional township was set aside for school purposes,
and the proceeds of the subsequent sale of these sections, is the foundation of
our present common school fund), County Commissioners, County Surveyors,
Inspectors, etc., were all the creatures of this body. It not only was the keeper
of the public funds, levied or remitted the taxes, made the allowances of the
other officers, but granted permits to "keep tavern," "keep store," "keep grocery,"
or "peddle clocks," and with equal facility fixed the price of "liquors, lodgings,
horse feed, and stabling." The early commissioner seemed equally at home,
whether allowing the treasurer fifteen dollars for his annual services, or regulating
the cost of a half pint of whisky, quart of cider or "gallon of oats or corn."
BOARD OF JUSTICES.
On January 31, 1824, the General Assembly enacted that the Justices of the
Peace for the several counties should constitute a "Board of Justices" for the
transaction of "county business," with all the powers and duties heretofore exer-
cised by the commissioners. It was made the duty of "each and everv justice in
the several townships to meet" at the seat of Justice on the first Monday in Sep-
tember following, "and then and there to organize themselves into a County
Board of Justices, by electing one of their body President," &c., "and to meet on
the first Monday of January, March, May, July, September, and November, in
each and every year," at such time, unless the circuit court happened to be in ses-
sion on that day, in which case they were to meet on the Monday after its ad-
journment. Any three of these justices were competent to transact business, ex-
cept at the May and November terms, when it should require at least five mem-
bers, and a less number than a quorum could meet from day to day and compel
the attendance of others.
It was made the duty of the justices '"'to be punctual in their attendance at
their January, May, and November sessions, and for every failure thereof, with-
out a reasonable excuse, "such justice might be indicted or fined not to exceed
twenty dollars."
The Clerk of the Circuit Court was required to attend on the sittings of the
Board and write up its proceedings. The attendance of the She'riflf, in person or
by deputy, was required, and it was made the duty of such ofiicer to execute the
decrees of said board.
On January 26, 1827, the Board of Justices was abolished, and the Board of
Commissioners revived in the county of Henry and nine other counties lying in
the central part of the State. This new arrangement took effect on the first day
of August of the same year. The Board of County Commissioners, has. ever
since, continued to exist.
CIRCUIT COURT.
The first term of the Circuit Court was held September 30. 1822. by Thomas
R. Stanford and Elisha Long, Esqrs., Associate Justices, Miles Eggleston, Presid-
ing Judge of the Circuit Court, not being present. The court assembled, as the
law directed, at the house of Joseph Hobson, but availed itself of the privilege of
securing better quarters at once, by adopting Charles Jamison's log cabin as the
court house, as the following extract from the first record will show :
9i6
HAZZARDS HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
"At a Henry County Circuit Court, begun at the house of Joseph Hobson, agreeable
to an act of the Legislature of the State of Indiana, passed on the 31st day of December,
in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and twenty-one, and adjourned
to the house of Charles Jamison, in the county aforesaid, on Monday, the 30th day of
September, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and twenty-two."
With the exception of the recording of the official bond of Rene Julian, Clerk,
on a fly-leaf of the docket, this is the first entry ever made by the Circuit Court of
Henry County. After the paragraph above recited is found recorded a copy of
the commissions of Judges Stanford and Long, bearing date of July 5, 1822, in
which "His Excellency Governor Jonathan Jennings sends greetings to all men and
"the rest of mankind" that he has commissioned the aforesaid Thomas R. Stan-
ford and the aforesaid Elisha Long, Associate Judges :
"For the county of Henry for and during the term of seven years, and until
his successors be appointed and qualified should he so long behave well."
On the back of each commission seems to have been the following endorse-
ment by the Sheriff:
"Be it remembered that, on the 7th day of August A. D. 1S22, personally came the
within commissioned, Thos. R. Stanford (or Elisha Long), and took the oath against
dueling, the oath to support the Constitution of the United States, the oath to support
the Constitution of this State, and also the oath of office as an Associate Judge of the
Henry Circuit Court. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal, this
7th day of August, 1S22. Jessk H. He.vlet, Sheriff of Henry County."
The credentials of the two Judges, of the Sheriff and Qerk being duly dis-
posed of, Jesse H. Healey
"Returned into this court the writ of venire facias heretofore issued out of this
court, with the following panel to serve as Grand Jurors, the present term, to-wit: Dan-
iel Heaton, whom the court appoints as foreman, Joseph Watts, Ezekiel Leavell, Absalom
Harvey, William Bell, David Baily, John Baker, Jesse Cox, Samuel Dill, John Daugh-
erty, Jacob Parkhurst, Richard Parsons, William Riadon, Dempsey Reece and David
Thompson, good and lawful men, and householders of the County of Henry, who, being
duly sworn and by the court charged, retired to their room to deliberate."
Of this first Grand Jury consisting of fifteen members there is now no living
representative. The room to which they "retired to deliberate" was a convenient
log heap hard by. This log heap occupied the ground where is now situated, the
Presbyterian Church, distant about one hundred and fifty feet northwest from
the house of Charles Jamison. Of this first Grand Jun-. William ]McDowell
(Uncle Billy) was the bailiff. He continued as such officer of the Courts of
Henrv County for a period covering fifty years, when at his own request, he was
in 1873, relieved by Judge Joshua H. Mellett, who appointed John Alexander his
successor. Lot Bloomfield. producing a license signed by the presiding judge,
was permitted to practise in the court, upon taking the necessary oath. He was
also made prosecuting attorney for "this and the succeeding term of this court
and until a successor be appointed."
The next entry shows that Andrew Shannon so far forgot the dignity and
solemnity of the occasion as to "swear two profane oaths in the presence of the
court," for which he was promptly fined two dollars, and the clerk ordered to
issue an execution for the same.
HAZZARD S HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY. 917
On the next day the court ordered that the '"permanent seal of Henry County
shall be engraved on brass, with a vignette of an eagle and stars equal to the
number of States in the Union," the size to be about that of a dollar, and around
the margin the words, "Henry Circuit Court." An "ink scrawl, with the words
Henry County inserted therein," was to be the temporary seal.
On the second day of the term Henry Burkman came into court, and, being
duly sworn, declared his intention of becoming a bona fide citizen of the United
States, and that he "abjures all allegiance to all foreign princes and potentates
whatever, and particularly to George IV, King of Great Britain and Ireland,
and Prince of Wales."
The Grand Jury then returned into court with the result of their delibera-
tions, which consisted of four bills of indictment for assault and battery, to-wit:
One against Solomon Byrket, two against Samuel Batson and one against Peter
Smith. Batson then appeared at "the bar of the court" and acknowledged him-
self guilty as charged in the indictment, and dispensing with a jury, threw himself
upon the mercy of the court, "which after due deliberation being had therein,"
adjudged that he make his fine to the State in the sum of one dollar and stand
committed till the same be paid. The judges then allowed themselves four dol-
lars each, and the prosecutor, five dollars, and adjourned till March following;
and thus ended the first term of the Circuit Court of Henry County.
At the March term, Bloomfield failed to put in an appearance, and James
Gilmore was appointed to prosecute "the pleas of the State."
For this term, the following named grand jurors were selected : William
]\IcKimmey, foreman, Solomon Byrket, Abijah Cain, Jacob . Elliott, Moses Fink,
George Hanby, Daniel Jackson, John K. Nutt. Allen Hunt, Shaphat McCray, Wil-
liam Morris, Thomas Ray and Asahel Woodward, of course all "good and lawful
men," although Solomon Byrket was then under indictment for an unlawful act,
and was on the same day, brought to the bar of the court, and, to use the quaint
language of the record,
"It being forthwith demanded of him how he will acquit himself of the charges set
forth in the indictment, for plea says he is not guilty as he stands indicted, and for trial
thereof puts himself upon the country, and the said James Gilmore. Prosecutor afore-
said, doth the like; and thereupon came a jury, to-wit: William Shannon, Nathan Pear-
son, James Rozell, Samuel Batson, Christopher Bundy, Minor Fox, Jacob Richey. Hugh
McDaniel. William Row (or Roe). John Blount. Josiah Clawson. and Jacob Witter."
and thus was formed the first traverse jury of Henry County. ]\Iarch 31. 1823,
and of the number there is probably not one now alive. William }\IcDowell was
also bailiflf to this, the first traverse jury that ever sat in Henry County.
Byrket was acquitted, and the court ordered "that he go thereof hence without
day." '
There was but one civil action tried, during this term, but the Grand Jury
returned into court, on the second day. seven indictments : One against the
ozi'iter of the court house, for selling liquor without license ; one against Wesley
Prior. Eli Ellis, and Charles See, '"'for rout ;" one each against commissioners
Elisha Shortridge and Allen Shepherd, for "extortion ;" and three cases of as-
sault and battery. The cases for extortion, perhaps, were what would, at this
Ql8 HAZZARDS HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
day, be termed taking usurious interest. At least there seems to have been no
further notice taken of the matter, the order book not indicating that they were
dismissed, quashed, continued or tried.
At this distant day, it will seem a little strange that the best or foremost men
of the times should be found among the law-breakers and among the first "hauled
over the coals" for it.
This March term of the court fixed a scale of prices for the clerk to be gov-
erned by in taking bail of those charged with offenses, as follows : For assault
and battery, $ioo; for routs, $50; for extortion, $100; selling spirituous liquor
without license, $20; and subsequently it further instructed that for indictments
for perjury the bail should be $300: for violations of the "estray act," $100; for
affray, $50; and for robbery on the public highway, the sum of $100. From all
of which it would seem that selling liquor without license was a mere peccadillo,
that perjury was quite a grave offense and that for two, three, or four men to
engage in a nice little "set-to" would require only half the bail demanded of one
man who attacked another without first obtaining his consent, and it will be also
noticed that assault and battery was placed on a par with highway robbery.
At the ?\Iarch term, the Grand Jury, thirteen in number, were allowed nine-
teen dollars and fifty cents for their services, and the prosecutor, eight dollars, for
prosecuting the pleas of the .State and drawing up the seven indictments, and
such other services as he could render, and was continued for the next term and
until a successor should be appointed, although not at the time a licensed attorney,
and the court adjourned, after a three days' session, without disposing of a single
case, except the trial of one of the grand jurors heretofore alluded to. It was
probably owing to the fact that nothing had been completed that the judges only
allowed themselves three dollars for their services.
Following is the substance of an act of the General Assembly of 1822, con-
cerning vagrants : Every person who shall be suspected to get his livelihood by
gaming, and every able-bodied person, who is found loitering and wandering about
and not having wherewithal to maintain himself by some visible property, and
who doth not betake himself to labour or some honest calling to procure a liveli-
hood, and all persons who quit their habitation and leave their wives and children
without suitable means of subsistence, whereby they suffer or may become charge-
able to the county, and all other idle, vagrant, dissolute persons, rambling about
without any visible means of subsistence, shall be deemed and considered as va-
grants. — [Revised Laws, 1824, page 421.]
Such person was to give bond in the sum of fifty dollars or be committed to
jail, till the meeting of the Circuit Court, and if found to be a vagrant within the
meaning of the law, he was, if a minor, to be "bound put," until twenty-one years
of age, to some useful trade or occupation, and if over twenty-one years of age,
he was to be hired out by the Sheriff' for any time not exceeding nine months.
The money received for his hire was to be applied to the payment of his debts,
and the balance to be given to him at the expiration of his time, provided, how-
ever, that, if he had a wife and children, the surplus went to them, and he might
also avoid being hired out by giving security that he would return to his family
and follow some useful occupation.
In accordance with this act, a special session was called, on .April 28, 1823, on
account of a charge of vagrancy against a citizen of Henry county. The following
HAZZARDS HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY. 919
panel of sixteen grand jurors, "good and lawful men," were selected to consider
whether the person so charged with vagrancy was such "within the meaning of
the law" : John Dorrah, foreman. Charles Jamison. James Stanford, Samuel Dill,
Asahel Woodward, \\'illiam McDowell. Obediah R. Weaver, Moses Fink, senior,
Allen Shepherd, Christopher Bundy, George Hanby, Thomas Watkins, William
Bundy, Joshua Welborn. Andrew Shannon. IMoses Allis. William ^McDowell
seems to have been a member of this Grand Jury and the bailiff in charge at the
same time. Of this jury of lawful men, two were under indictment at the time for
violating the laws of the land.
The principal expenses for this term of court were : ' Sixteen grand jurors,
twelve dollars ; bailiff, seventy-five cents ; prosecutor, two dollars ; two judges,
four dollars ; total, eighteen dollars and seventy-five cents.
Charles Jamison, for selling liquor without license, was tried at the next term
of the court, found guilty, and fined three dollars, which was just what he charged
the court for the use of the cabin as a court room. As he was afterward granted
license to sell liquors, it is evident that the offense consisted not so much in the
sale of the liquor, as in having neglected to replenish the almost empty treasury
with the five dollars, which was levied solelv for purposes of revenue, and not in
anywise intended to restrict the traffic.
The August term of the circuit court was held by the associate judges. r\Iiles
Eggleston, Presiding Judge, not, as yet, having deigned to visifour county.
To call to the minds of some of the older citizens men once familiar to them,
the names of the Grand Jury are given also:
John Dorrah, foreman, as usual, Levi Butler, Ebenezer Goble, Thomas Leonard,
Thomas Watkins, John Blount, George Hobson, James McKimmey, Robert Smith. Allen
Hunt, Jesse Cox. John Marshall, Nathan Davis, and Josiah Morris.
After a three davs' session, the jury returned into court two indictments for
assault and battery, three for affray, one for violation of the estray law. one for
robbery, and one for perjury. In the five years irnmediately succeeding the organ-
ization of the county, ninety one "true bills" were found for various offenses
"against the peace and dignity" of the State of Indiana. Something of the nature
of the ills to which society was subjected at that early day will be seen from the
character of these presentments as follows, to-wit:
Assault and battery 44 Larceny 2
Affray 24 Lewdness 1
Rout 1 Violating Estray Law 1
Rape 4 Selling Without License 1
Gaming 5 Obstructing Process 1
Extortion 2 Negligence in Office 1
Robbery 1 —
Vagrancy 1 Total 91
Perjury 2
What would our citizens think today of having four fifths of the time of
our courts taken up with the adjustment of personal encounters between our
citizens? The "fistic" proclivities of our citizens have, without doubt, very much
improved in seventy five years.
920 HAZZARD S HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
Miles C. Eggleston, the Presiding Judge for the Third, afterward the Fifth
Circuit put in an appearance for the first time November 17, 1823, this being the
fifth session since the county was organized. The following order appears on the
docket for that day:
"On motion, it is ordered that it be suggested on the records of this court
that Reuben Ball, the plaintiff in this cause, is deceased, since the last term of
this court."
And, it is supposed, the suggestion was made accordingly. The next cause
was "continued till the next term of court," that the court take time until then
to consider of the law arising in said case.
The next order was that all indictments found by the Grand Jury, at the
August term, be quashed, and the defendants in said indictments be thereof quit
and discharged, etc. To this his autograph is appended — the only time it occurs
on the order book. The reason for this order seems to have been that the General
Assembly had changed the time of holding courts for this circuit, of which our
home judges had not been apprised, and so went on with the August term as
usual. The indictments were all quashed, but seem to have been immediately
revived by the jury then- in session.
It would seem that William W. Wick, of Fayette County, was made judge of
the circuit, in 1824, but, being elected Secretary of State, Governor Hendricks
appointed Bethuel F. Morris, of Marion County. Presiding Judge, "in the room"
of said Wick.
In October. 1825, John Anderson succeeded Thomas R. Stanford, as judge.
While Anderson was on the bench, an appeal case came up before him and his
associate, in which Anderson was defendant, and it is noticeable that the de-
fendant gained the case and his costs off the plaintiff, and then allowed himself
two dollars for extra services at that session. It is not to be inferred from this
that justice was not done, for the judge soon brought suit in his own court, as
Paymaster of the Indiana Militia, against Sheriff Healey, for failure to. collect
the muster fines off the conscientious people of the county, and, after continuing
the case from day to day and term to term, he was finally beaten, Bethuel F.
Morris, perhaps, presiding when the decision was reached. Soon after this, one
Jacob Thorp filed an information in court to the effect that the said Judge
Anderson was an alien, and therefore not competent to fill the position occupied.
A rule was granted against the judge to show why he should not be ousted
from his seat. This he must have done to the satisfaction of the court, as he
continued to hold his position, and at a subsequent term he obtained judgment
for costs against Thorp, Anderson and his associate apparently deciding the
case. So much for early courts and manner of doing business.
It cannot be doubted that the ends of justice were quite as faithfully sub-
served in that day as at present, and that it was generally quite as speedily
meted out, notwithstanding the quaintness of style and rather "hifalutin" ring of
some of the proceedings.
FIRST ATTORNEYS.
It has already been mentioned that Lot Bloomfield was "sworn in" as the
first Prosecutor of "the pleas of the State" for the Henry Circuit Court. There
HAZZARD S HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY. 92I
were but four indictments found, all for assault and battery, and, as one of the
culprits "lit out," another was found not guilty, and still another plead guilty antl
was only fined one dollar for two offenses, the Prosecutor, doubtless, felt that
his luck was none of the best. It is said that information was lodged with the
jury that some graceless scamp had been guilty of larceny, but, just before the
finding or returning of a bill, the foreman learned that he had left the county ;
so it was concluded that it would be a waste of ammunition to finish proceedings
against him, and they at once dropped the case. This did not suit the attorney,
who grumbled considerably, and called the attention of the jury to the fact that
it cost much labor to draw up the papers in each case, and showed them that
he was at great expense in traveling to and from court, for board, etc., etc. The
court made him the very liberal allowance of five dollars, which was one dollar
more than their honors received, but it does not seem to have been satisfactory,
as he came no more, although appointed for more than one term. James Gilmore,
afterwards a justice of the peace, and not yet a full fiedged attorney, was ap-
pointed in Bloomfield"s place the next term. James Noble, James Rariden, and
Abraham Elliott, father of Judge Jehu T. Elliott, were admitted to practise in
this first court.
At the August term, 1823, Charles H. Test and Martin ■NT. Ray. of Wayne
County, were admitted as attorneys and counsellors at law, "and thereupon took
the oath of ofifice."
At the April term, 1824, James B. Ray, James ]\Iendall, Calvin Fletcher,
Oliver H. Smith, and Philip Sweetser were admitted to practise.
At the April term, 1825, Harvey Gregg appeared with a regular commission
as prosecuting attorney for the Fifth Judicial Circuit. Henry County had pre-
viously been in the Third Circuit. At this term Abraham Elliott was appointed
Master of Chancery and Moses Cox was admitted to the bar. In October of the
same year, Calvin Fletcher presented his credentials as prosecutor for the Circuit.
At the October term, 1826, James Whitcomb appeared with credentials as
prosecutor for the Circuit, and Septimus Smith and Albert G. White were ad-
mitted as attorneys. In 1827, Samuel C. Sample, appeared as a licensed attorney
and "took the oath" as "counsellor at law at the bar of the court."
In 1828, on motion of Charles H. Test, Marinus Willitt and David Patton
were admitted. At the October term, 1828. on nioti()n of Samuel C. Sample.
William Daily and Caleb B. Smith, having produced license signed by "two
Presiding Judges of the State of Indiana," were admitted to practise in the Henry
Circuit Court, and, on motion of James Rariden, John S. Newman was in like
manner admitted.
In 1820, William W. Wick, Prosecuting Attorney, and James T. Brown
were admitted to the bar. In 1830, James Perry was prosecutor of the pleas of
the State.
From the foregoing list it will be seen that the early practitioners at the
Henn,- County Bar included many of the ornaments of the legal profession of
our State. At a later day, came Parker, Julian. Morton, and others scarcely less
noted, to say nothing of resident attorneys, of whom a number have won a name
abroad. Among those who were frequent in their attendance upon our earlier
courts were a number who have distinguished themselves as orators, members
of Congress, governors of our State, and eminent jurists.

HAZZARDS HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
It should be borne in mind, however, that the tendency of a general diffusion
of knowledge is to lessen the difference between men, growing out of their
acquirements, and he who may have seemed almost a prodigy of learning-
seventy five years ago might not today pass for much more than an ordinary
person. Great talents and great learning will, doubtless, be treated with much
consideration for all time to come, but the time has long passed when any man
can wield such influence over his fellows as did Demosthenes. It is undoubtedly
true that greater attainments are expected in many of the stations of life than
formerly, and the legal profession is no exception.

Henry County seems to have been well supplied with villages and towns.
There is no incorporated city in the county. A place that is not incorporated
is referred to as a village. If it is incorporated as a town, then it is re-
ferred to as a town. This chapter presents a brief official history of forty one
villages and towns, past and present, alphabetically arranged, as follows :
Ashland, Blountsville, Cadiz, Chicago, Circleville, Dunreith, Elizabeth
City, Fairfield, Grant City, Greensboro, Hillsboro, Honey Creek, Kennard,
Knightstown, Lewisville, Luray, Mechanicsburg, Messick, Middletown, Mill-
ville. Mooreland, Mount Summit, New Castle, Needmore, New Lislion, Og-
den, Petersburg, Pumpkintown, Raysville. Rogersville, Sharington. Shirley,
Spiceland, Springport, Straughn, Sulphur Springs, Uniontown. West Liberty,
Wheeland. White Raven, Woodville.
The distances to all villages and towns in Hennr County are measured
from the court house in New Castle, taken as a common center, as shown by
the following letter from the county surveyor :

924 HAZZARDS HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
The village of Ashland is situated in Liberty Township, three and one half
miles east and one half mile south of east from the court house in New Castle,
on the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis railway and one half mile
north of the New Castle and Hagerstown Pike. Ashland was never laid out
and platted into lots, the real estate in the village being described only by
metes and bounds. It was first known as Mullen's Station, taking its name
from the well-known family of that name, old pioneers, who were for so many
years prominent in eastern Henry and western Liberty townships. Many of
their descendants are yet living in Henry, Liberty and perhaps other town-
ships of the county.
Mullen's Station was the first railroad station for New Castle, the old
Cincinnati, Logansport and Chicago railway having been completed to this
point early in 1854, perhaps late in 1853, and until the road was finally com-
pleted to New Castle in the Summer of 1854, all the lousiness for the new
railroad, which later came to New Castle, was transacted at Mvillen's Station.
To this point stock was driven to be shipped to Cincinnati, goods were wag-
oned from there to be distributed to other points throughout the country and
people went there to take the train to Cincinnati and other points. The post-
office was established in 1853. David Millikan being the first postmaster, and
the name of the village being changed to Ashland.
Before removal to its present site this postoffice was for many years a
country neighborhood affair located at the respective houses of the successive
postmasters, near the present location of the station of Messick on the Big Four
railway and was then as now called Messick.
Ashland has never been incorporated, therefore its population, as shown
by the census of 1900, is included in that of Liberty Township. (See Chapter
XXXVIII). The name probably came from Ashland, Ohio, from the fact
that, at the time the name was changed, some of the most enterprising citizens
of the ^•illage had once lived in the town and county of that name in the
"Buckeye" State.
A list of the postmasters at Ashland, Messick included, from February
26, 1847, to September 14. 1855, when the office was moved to its present loca-
tion, will be found on page 34 of this Histon-.
Ashland and Millville are the only postoffices in Liberty Township. Aside
from Chicago which was discontinued March 24. 1855, and Devon, which was
discontinued February 13, 1868, they are the only postoffices that have ever
been in the township.
BLOUNTSVn.LE.
Blountsville, situated in Stony Creek Township, twelve miles due north-
east from the court house in New Castk. being in the W. >4 of the N. E. 14 of
Sec. 35, Tp. 19 N.. R. II E., was laid out and platted by Thomas R. Stanford,
Sun'eyor, in July, 1832. and acknowledged by Andrew D. Blount, proprietor,
September 5, 1833. The main street running east and west was then desig-
nated as "The Logansport and Richmond Road," the road running south on
HAZZARD S HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY. 925
the west line of the town as "The Centreville Road." The original plat con-
tains twenty six lots, no blocks designated.
The first addition, situated immediately south of the original plat, was platted June
14, 1853, and was acknowledged by Beale Manifold, proprietor, January 26. 1S54. and con-
tains twelve lots, no blocks designated.
The Northeastern, the second addition, situated immediately east of the original
plat and Manifold's addition, was platted and acknowledged by Jonathan Ross, Jesse
Gary, William Liser, Daniel Bainter, J. W. Stanley, John Houk and Leander Priest, pro-
prietors, Aug-ust 19, 1859. It contains twenty six lots and four out-lots, no blocks des-
ignated.
Blountsville takes its name from Andrew D. Blount, the original propri-
etor of the townsite. On the county records showing the filing of the plat, the
name is spelled "Blunt." but as far back as the memon,^ of the oldest inhab-
itant reaches the name has been uniformly used as "Blount." This place
from its inception has always been the commercial metropolis of our northeast-
ern township, and on account of its close proximity to Delaware County on the
north and Randolph County on the east, its trade has been much increased
from those counties.
This place was without railroad facilities until 1902, when the Chicago,
Cincinnati and Louisville railway was built, which in a few years must add
to the importance of the village.
Blountsville not being incorporated must be content to be known as a vil-
lage only, and its population, according to the census of 1900. is included in
that of Stony Creek Township. (See Chapter XXXA'III.)
A list of the postmasters at Blountsville from the establishment of the
postoffice, Januar}' 22. 1835. inclusive, to the present time, will be foimd on
pages 34-5 of this History. Also the name of the only rural route carrier.
Blotmtsville is the only postoffice now in the township. The only other
postoffice ever in the township was Rogersville, which was discontinued June
15, 1901.
CADIZ.
The town of Cadiz is situated in Harrison Township, six miles west and
one and one fourth miles north of west from the court house in New Castle,
being in the S. E. 14 of Sec. 3. Tp. 17 N., R. 11 E., and was laid out and
platted by David Pickering, proprietor, September 11. 1836, and acknowl-
edged March 22, 1837.
The early emigration to that part of Henry County afterwards formed
into Harrison Township was largely from Harrison County, Ohio, and the
town of Cadiz derives its name from the county seat of that county. In this
emigration the Cooper family and their kinsmen, including the Pickerings,
v.ere the most numerous, therefore, when it came to establishing a town,
wint could be more natural than to adopt the naine of the clu'ef town of the
county from which they emigrated?
The main street running east and west was designated as "The Craw-
fordsville and New Castle State Road." The original plat contains four and
one half blocks, consisting of sixteen lots.
926 ^ hazzard's history of henry county.
The first addition, situated immediately west of the original plat, was platted
March 29, 1849. and was acknowledged by Imla W. Cooper, proprietor, April 7. 1849. and
contains four blocks consisting of twelve lots and one out-lot.
The second addition, situated immediately east and north of the original plat, was
platted November 7, 1849. and was on the same date acknowledged by David Pickering,
proprietor, and contains four blocks, consisting of fifteen lots.
A third addition, situated immediately south of the original plat, was platted Feb-
ruary 23, 1855, and was acknowledged by Jonas Pickering, proprietor, August 10, 1860,
and contains but two lots, no blocks designated.
The owner of this addition of two lots only was not ambitious to have
his small addition to Cadiz speedily a matter of official record, for it took him
five years and six months to get the matter properly recorded.
David Pickering, the original proprietor, was the most ambitious of all
of the promoters of Cadiz, for the county records show that on March, 23,
1854, he made another addition situated immediately north of his first addi-
tion to the original plat, the same containing four blocks, consisting of eight
lots, but like his neighbor and kinsman, Jonas Pickering, he was in no hurry
to reach the county recorder's office, for it was not until October 3, 1861, seven
years and six months later, that it was recorded.
The population of the town of Cadiz, as shown by the census of 1900, was
253. Although surrounded by a fertile country and numbering from time
to time as it has, some of Henry County's most enterprising and enlightened
citizens, it has never been able to secure railroad facilities. In fact, Harrison
Township is the only one of the thirteen in the county not so far traversed by
either steam or electric railway. Surely the repeated efifr>rts of the enterpris-
ing citizens of the township in this direction will in time bear fruit.
A postoffice was established December 18, 1837. A list of the postmas-
ters from that time to the present will be found on page 35 of this History.
Cadiz is the only postoffice that has ever existed in Harrison Township.
There ne\-er was a postoffice at the old town of Woodville, the principal street
of which was the boundary line between Harrison and Greensboro townships.
CHICAGO.
This proposed town was never laid out and platted. It is situated seven
and one half miles east and one mile south from the court house in New Castle,
on the New Castle and Hagerstown pike, in Liberty Township. The first
transfer, as shown by the records, was for religious purposes and consisted of
one acre, transferred by John McSherley and Phebe, his wife, to Christopher
Main, George Koons and Jesse K. Platts as Trustees for Liberty Church, No-
vember 5, 1827.
The village is located about two miles southeast of the present site of
Millville and a mile south of the railroad, the building of which seems to have
ruined its prospects. At one time it was an ambitious village, numbering a
score or more of houses, one or two stores and two hotels. It is now known
as the "Old Chicago Neighborhood." The people who located Chicago were
very ambitious and had visions of a great future, therefore, they named this
place after the then young giant just coming into prominence at the foot of
Lake Michigan.
HAZZARD S HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY. 927
A postoffice was established May ii, 1852 and discontinued March 24,
1855, which is about the time the postoffice at Millville was estabhshed.
Three of its prominent citizens served as postmasters. Their names will be
found on page 36 of this History.
Chicago is one of the four postoffices that have existed in Liberty Town-
ship, the other three being Devon (discontinued), Ashland and Millville.
CIRCLEVILLE.
This village is on the line between Stony Creek and Blue River town-
ships, nine miles due northeast from the court house in New Castle, and one
and one half miles due north from the present town of Mooreland. The rec-
ords do not show that it was ever laid out and platted into town lots.
This place has long since passed from the zenith of its glon,- and now
exists as a village only in the memory of the oldest citizen. Its former site is
now commonly known as "Five Forks," for the reason that the turnpikes from
here lead to five dififerent points of the compass. Circleville never reached
the dignity of a postoffice. Five Forks is adjoined by some of the most fertile
and highly improved farms of the county.
The author of this History has been unable to find any old settler who can
give a reason why this place was named Circleville.
DUNREITH.
The town of Dunreith is situated in Spiceland Township, nine miles
south and three and one half miles west from the court house in New Castle,
and five miles east from -Knightstown. at the crossing of the Pittsburg, Cincin-
nati, Qiicago and St. Louis railway and the New Castle and Rushville division
of the Lake Erie and Western railway, and at the junction of the New Castle
branch with the main line of the Indianapolis and Eastern railway (electric
line), and in the W. i of the N. E. ^ of Sec. 32, and the W. -J of the S. E. J
of Sec. 29. Tp. 16 N., R. 10 E. It was laid out and platted by James M. Clem-
ents, Surveyor, for John W. Griffin, Caleb Johnson and Thomas Evans,
proprietors, July 22, 1865, and was acknowledged by them July 25, 1865. The
main street running east and west was designated as "The National Road." The
original plat contains three blocks consisting of twenty three lots. The town was
first known as Coffin's Station.
On the completion of the old Indiana Central railroad to this point a depot
was established here and the place named after the proprietor of the land, Emery
Dunreith Coffin. Soon there began to spring up a little village around the station.
In 1865, when the town was first platted as above shown, those interested, particu-
larly John W. Griffin, decided on a change of name, but out of respect to Mr.
Coffin's memory and to preserve his name in connection with the town, it was
called Dunreith.
The first addition, situated northwest of the original plat and on the north side of
the National Road, was platted August 31. 186G, and was on the same date acknowledged
by Thomas Evans, proprietor, and contains six blocks, consisting of thirty six lots.
928 hazzard's history of henry county.
The second addition, situated immediately north of the original plat, between the
National Road and the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis railway, being the
narrow strip of land between the principal street and the railroad and upon which all
of the business houses of the town are now situated, was platted and acknowledged by
Timothy Wilson, Caleb Johnson and Thomas Evans, December 12, 1S66. It contains six
lots, no blocks designated.
The Eastern addition, situated immediately north of the Wilson, Johnson and
Evans' addition, and east of Evans' addition on the north side of the National Road,
was platted November 16, 1867, and was acknowledged by Christopher Wilson, propri-
etor. December 16, 1867; and by Caleb Johnson on the part of C. Johnson and Company,
June 5, 1868. It contains three blocks, consisting of fourteen lots.
An addition, situated immediately north of Evans' addition and east of the turn-
pike running north to Spiceland, was platted August 29. 1S6S, and was acknowledged by
Caleb Johnson, proprietor, September 14. 1868. and contains two blocks, consisting of
eleven lots.
Caleb Johnson, who was one of the chief promoters of the town, was for
many vears its leading merchant. After leaving- the county treasurer's office in
August, 1863, he removed to Coffin's Station and established a store. He resided
there until 1879 when, having in the meantime entered the ministry' of the Friends'
Church, he moved to Lynnville, Iowa. Afterwards he was a resident of Wichita,
Kansas, and Denver, Colorado. He died at the latter place in 1899 and his
remains are buried there.
The next addition, situated immediately west of the original plat and south of the
old railway, was platted August 8. 1871, and was acknowledged by John W. Griffin, pro-
prietor, August 17, 1871, and contains eight lots, no blocks designated.
The next ambitious proprietor was James M. Crawford, who had platted May 5,
1883, an addition situated immediately north of Caleb Johnson's addition, on the east
side of the pike running north to Spiceland. It was acknowledged by him May 19. 1883,
and contains one block of six lots.
Joseph Griffin, father of John W.. made an addition, situated immediately west of
Evans' addition and west of the pike running north to Spiceland. It was platted July 9,
1883, and was acknowledged by Joseph Griffin, proprietor, December 11, 1883, and con-
tains two blocks, consisting of seven lots.
Robert M. Kenney's north side addition, situated on the extreme north side of the
town of Dunreith, between the New Castle and Rushville railway and the road running
north to Spiceland, was platted October 20, 1892, and was acknowledged by Kenney
July 13, 1893. It contains ten and two thirds acres divided into four blocks, consisting
of fifty two lots and two out-lots.
A postoffice was established July 2, 1861, then called Coffin's Station.
On pages 36-7 of this History will be found a list of the postmasters for the
town as first named and as now named. Also the name of the only rural
route carrier.
The only postoffices that have ever existed in Spiceland Township are
Dunreith, Ogden and Spiceland, and all are still in existence.
The census of 1900 places the population of the town at 205.
ELIZABETH CITY.
This old village, now much decayed, is situated twelve and one fourth
miles southwest from the court house in New Castle, and six miles northwest
from Knightstown, and is in Wayne Township, being in the N. W. corner of
HAZZARDS HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY. 929
the S. E. }i of Sec. i. Tp. i6 N.. R. 8 E. Elizabeth City was laid out and
platted by Robert Overman, proprietor, and acknowledged September 17.
1838, and contains six blocks, consisting of thirty six lots. No addition has
ever been filed to the town. It was at an early day, a place of some promise.
After the Civil War, Elnathan and Thomas B. Wilkinson, brothers, now of
Knightstown, maintained here for several years a general mercantile estab-
lishment and did a highly prosperous and satisfactory business. However, no
postofifice was established until 1878. It was called "Maple Valley," for the
reason that there was a prior postoffice in the State named Elizabeth City.
The construction of the Big Four railway through the count)' west from
New Castle and the establishment of the towns of Kennard in Henrj^ County
and Shirley in Henry and Hancock counties, and of Wilkinson in Hancock
County, all on the line of the railroad and within a few miles of Elizabeth City,
was the death knell of the last named place as a business point. The establish-
ment of the rural free delivery system from Shirley and Wilkinson was
another blow to Elizabeth City, for then the postofifice was finally discontinued.
On pages 39 and 40 of this History will be found a list of the respective post-
masters of "Maple Valley."
Elizabeth City (Maple Valley) is one of the four postofifices that have ex-
isted in Wayne Township, the other three being Grant City, (Snyder dis-
continued), Knightstown and Raysville.
Robert Overman, the proprietor, was from Pasquotank County, North
Carolina, of which Elizabeth City is the county town, hence this name.
This defunct place was situated somewhere on the National Road. The
county records do not show where it was located or by whom it was laid
out and platted. Henry Lewelling appears to have been the surveyor, who
laid out and platted the village about the year 1828. The main street running
east and west is designated as "The National Road," and contains four blocks
consisting of thirty two lots. Lewis Tacket was the proprietor. Its location
was probably east of Lewisville in the neighborhood of the present town of
Straughn. It never reached the dignity of a postofifice.
GRANT CITY.
Grant City, so named after our great military chieftain, General Ulysses
S. Grant, is situated in Wayne Township, ten and one half miles southwest
from the court house in New Castle and five miles north and one mile west
from Knightstown. It is located on the E. 3^2 of the N. E. % and the E. yi of
the S. E. '4 of Sec. 5 and the W. i< of the S. W. ji of Sec. 4. Tp. 16 N., R. 9 E.,
and was laid out, platted and acknowledged by Jacob Green, who was a soldier
in the Civil War, and by Margaret Green, his wife, October 31, 1868. It con-
tains five blocks, consisting of thirty six lots.
930 HAZZARDS HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
Jacob Green's northern addition, situated immediately north of the original plat,
was platted by the same parties March 24, 1869, and. was acknowledged July 14, 1869. It
contains four blocks, consisting of twenty eight lots.
When Jacob Green returned from the Civil War he was ambitious to
found a town, and, being a great admirer of his old commander, named it as
above stated. From the fact that there was a prior postofifice in the State of
the same name, no postoffice was established until January 26, 1888, when one
was established called "Snyder." In the meantime the Big Four railway had
been built through the county west from New Castle and the town of Ken-
nard located two and one half miles north and one half mile east of Grant
City. Later the rural free delivery system abolished the postoffice. The
stores which had been established found their way to the railroad or were
discontinued. Thus the glory of Grant City as a business center disappeared.
"Jake" Green, the founder of the village, was for many years a well-known
character in Henry- County. Some years ago he moved to Iowa where he died
and is buried.
A list of the postmasters at "Snyder" will be found on page 45 of this
History. Grant City (Snyder discontinued) is one of the four postoffices that
have existed in Wayne Township, the other three being Elizabeth City
(Maple Valley), Knightstown and Raysville.
GREENSBORO.
This old historic town is situated in Greensboro Township, six and one
fourth miles southwest from the court house in New Castle, and is in the E. i
of the S. E. J- of Sec. 35 and in the W. i of the S. W. i of Sec. 36, Tp. 17 N.',
R. 9 E.. and was laid out, platted and acknowledged by Jehu Wickersham,
February 2y. 1830, and contains six blocks, consisting of forty eight lots.
The iirst or Eastern addition, situated Immediately east of and adjoining the orig-
inal plat, was platted and acknowledged by Seth Hinshaw. Jonas Pickering, Enoch Wick-
ersham, Abraham Moore, Jehu Wickersham and Mary Wickersham, proprietors, March
26, 1836, and contains six blocks, consisting of twenty eight lots.
The second or Northern addition, situated immediately north of the original plat
and east of High Street, was platted and acknowledged by Thomas Reagan, April 13,
1855, and contains one block, consisting of twelve lots.
Reagan's addition to the Northern addition, situated immediately north of the
original plat and west of High Street, was platted and acknowledged by Thomas Reagan,
October 16, 1866. and contains one block, consisting of six lots.
A plat of the town of Greensboro was surveyed and platted by William R. Harrold.
Surveyor, and acknowledged August 6, 1873. This plat includes the original plat and
all the additions above mentioned and also out-lots numbering from one to twenty four
inclusive; and also out-lots numbers seven to thirteen inclusive, north of Reagan's
Northern addition.
Greensboro is situated on the east bank of Duek Creek, about one mile
from its junction with Blue River, and nearly seven miles north by east from
Knightstown. Being in the midst of a tract of fertile farming lands, it has
ever enjoyed a considerable local traffic, though its growth in wealth and im-
HAZZARD S HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY. 93I
portance has not been as rapid as that of some other towns in the county, from
the fact that it is not reached by a railroad. Then the construction of the Big
Four railroad through the county, two and one half miles north of it, and the
establishment of the town of Kennard, two and one half miles northwest of it
have drawn from it much of the trade that it once enjoyed.
Greensboro has a number of excellent turnpikes radiating from it ; but it
was as a "station" on the "underground railroad" that it won a national repu-
tation. As the home of a number of determined and veteran abolition agita-
tors, it had a reputation, fifty years ago, second to no place of its size in the
whole country. In those early days a large building, known as "Liberty Hall,"
was often filled with enthusiastic audiences, who listened to such apostles of
freedom as Arnold Bufifum, Abby Kelly. Frederick Douglas, George W. Jul-
ian and others of note.
The "underground railroad" was the system employed by abolitionists
to transport slaves fleeing from bondage to the land of freedom, principally
Canada. The plan was to move them in the night time from the home of an
abolitionist, or some other place where they were secreted, called a "station,"
to some point or "station" further on toward their ultimate destination. This
was all done in such a secretive and mysterious way that the term "under-
ground railroad" was applied. Greensboro was known far and wide as a per-
manent "station," and the abolitionists there were numerous and determined,
having at their head the veteran Seth Hinshaw.
The early emigration in and around Greensboro was from Guilford
County, NoVth Carolina, of which Greensboro is the county town, and from
this fact Greensboro Township and town are so named.
A list of the postmasters from William Reagan, April i8, 1831, to the
present time, will be found on page 37 of this History. Greensboro Township
has had three postoffices. all of which are retained — Greensboro, Kennard and
Shirley. However, at the present time the Shirley postoffice is on the west
side of Main Street in Hancock County.
The census of 1900 places the population of the town at 284.
This old village on a hill is situated in the southeast corner of Prairie
Township, three and one half miles northeast from the court house in New
Castle, and is in the "south part of the N. E. H of Sec. 36, Tp. 18 N., R. 10 E.,
and was laid out, platted and acknowledged by Jacob Huston, Thomas Huston
and Samuel Rinehart. proprietors, July 26. 1831, and contains twelve blocks,
consisting of sixty lots.
The first addition, situated immediately east of the original plat, was platted March
2, 1852, and acknowledged by Clement Murphey, proprietor, April 19, 1852, and contains
twelve lots, no blocks designated.
The second addition, also by Clement Murphey. situated immediately east of his
first addition, was platted and acknowledged by him. April 16. 1853, and contains twelve
lots, no blocks designated.
The name of the village undoubtedly comes from the fact that one can
hardly reach the place from any direction without climbing a hill. It was

once a trading point of some consequence. * The author of this History well
remembers when as a boy he first saw Hillsboro, going there in company
with his mother to visit her brother, Franklin Woodward, then residing there.
At that time there were three stores, two blacksmith shops, a wagon shop, and
a saw mill, with corresponding population. At the foot of the hill on the road
leading to New Castle, on Little Blue River, there was then and for many
years afterward, the most pretentious woolen mill in the county, known far
and wide as the "Mowrer and McAfee Factory," later owned by Ice, Dunn
and Company. Before this, at the foot of the hill on the road now leading to
Messick, on a little stream that would not now float a duck so thorough has
been the drainage, there was a grist mill and still house combined, known as
the "Byrket mill." Then on the Little Blue, near the factory there had been
a saw mill owned and operated by a man named Neziah Snyder and connected
with it he operated one burr for grinding wheat and corn, principally corn.
What little flour he ground was bolted by hand. Now these industries have
all disappeared and Hillsboro has not only passed into histor>' but almost into
oblivion. It was one of the towns projected before the days of railroads and
with their coming it began to decay.
A postoffice was established March lo, 185 1, named "Dan Webster,"
from the fact that there was already in Indiana a postoffice called Hillsboro.
The first postmaster was Samuel S. Canaday, who moved around a good
deal in the county and seemed to be the choice of the people wherever he
lived for postmaster, for he ser\'ed as' such at Ashland, Hillsboro and New
Castle. A list of the postmasters at "Dan Webster" will be found on page
36 of this History. Prairie Township has had four postoffices — Hillsboro
"Dan Webster," Luray, IMount .Summit and Springport. The two first named
have been discontinued.
HONEY CREEK.
The village of Honey Creek, so named for the little stream near whose
banks it is situated, is in Fall Creek Township, nine and one half miles north-
west from the court house in New Castle and four miles southeast from Mid-
dletown, on the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis railway. It was
founded in 1858 and was called Warnock's Station, after a Henry County
pioneer who then owned the land on which Honey Creek is now located, the
same being in the N. E. V^, of Sec. 10, Tp. 18 X., R. 9 E.
The only addition, known as the Western, and situated immediately west of the
original village, on the north side of the railroad, and on the WQst side of the street run-
ning north and south, was platted July 28. 1S73. for Joseph M. Brown, Commissioner, in
the matter of the real estate of John Myers, deceased, of which decedent, Adam Evans
was executor, Brown having been appointed Commissioner by the Court to sell the real
estate. This addition to Honey Creek was made by the Commissioner to facilitate the
sale of said real estate. It contains five acres and seven rods and is divided into three
blocks, consisting of twelve lots.
A postoffice was established June i8, 1861. with Zadock G. Tomlinson
as postmaster. On pages 37 and 38 of this History will be found a list of the
postmasters from Tomlinson to Lertin R. Fadely, the present incumbent.

Sample, Secretary, of the Merchants' and Manufacturers' Association, and contains one
hundred and fifty lots and two out-lots, no blocks designated.
The town of Knightstown is pleasantly situated on Blue River, or rather
between that stream and Montgomery Creek. Waitsel M. Car\% the original
proprietor, kept the only hotel for some years and built the first frame house
in town. The place was named in honor of Jonathan Knight, a United States
Engineer, who located the Cumberland, or National Road, through the State.
At first the town only extended back two or three tiers of lots from the river bluff.
Levi Griffith and Isaac James owned the first dry goods establishment
here about the vear 1830. There were about a half dozen houses in the
place at that time, and the population was less than three hundred in 1833.
The first church built here was by the Presbyterians, in 1834 — a frame,
about thirty by forty feet. The Methodists erected a stnall frame building,
about the year 1837. A distillery was erected just over the river, about 1825,
by one John Tewis, and about 1828 a carding machine was built near the
present Panhandle depot.
About two years after the inception of Knightstown, the Ithamer W.
Stuart farm of 160 acres could have been bought for $400. One of the best
corner lots sold for $96. which was regarded as a fancy price indeed. Part
of this Stuart farm has long since been platted as additions to Knightstown.
and one acre of the balance of the unplatted land is now worth what the
whole could have been bought for as above stated.
As late as 1830 the country was such a "howling wilderness" — with little
more than a bridle-path through the woods — that Dr. Whitesel was badly
lost in going to see a patient on Six-Mile Creek, and bears came out of the
river bottom and were chased through the streets more than once after that
period. A young physician named Hiatt was the first to locate in town : his
stay was short. James Wilson was Knightstown's first attorney.
Whi.sky was in much more general use in early days than at present.
HENRY COUNTY LAWYERS.
HAZZARDS HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY. 937
A judge. the"'squire'" and all the constables were seen drunk on one or more
occasions in early days, and pugilistic encounters were among the cherished
amusements. But great changes have been wrought.
Knightstown is in the midst of splendid farming lands, the productions
of which find here a ready market.
About 1850 the Knightstown and Shelbyville railroad, the first which
reached our county, was completed to Knightstown, and business received a
new impetus, and "corner lots" rapidly appreciated in value. Phis was a
primitive railroad, the rails of which were of wood, stripped with fla( h^r iron.
. It was abandoned in 1853 but when the present Louisville and Benton Harbor
division of the Big Four railway was completed in the summer of 1891, run-
ning south through the western part of the county, it followed this old aban-
doned right of way for a short distance in Rush County.
The Knightstown Academy building is a commodious structure and the
graded school has for years ranked high.
The town has two banking institutions, but these are treated of in another
part of this History in the chapter entitled, "Banks and Banking." Knightstown
is one of the best towns on the line ot the old Indiana Central railroad between
Richmond and Indianapolis. In the chapter of this Histon,- entitled "News-
papers, Past and Present" will be found a full account of the newspapers that
have been published and of those .now in existence at Knightstown. Knights-
town is one of the four postoffices that have existed in Wayne Township, the
other three- being Elizabeth City (Maple Valley, discontinued). Grant City
( Snyder, discontinued) and Raysville. The postoffice at Knig'htstown was es-
tablished January 30. 1833, with Joseph McCalley, as postmaster. On page
38 of this history will be found a list of the postmasters to date, with the time
served by each. Also the names of the four rural route carriers with the num-
bers of their respective routes.
The census of 1900 places the population of the town at 1,942.
LEWISV^LLE.
Lewisville is situated in Franklin Township, eight and three fourths
miles south and one mile east from the court house in Neiv Castle, and nine
miles east from Knightstown, on the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis
railway, and the Indianapolis and Eastern railway (electric line), and on the west
side of Flatrock. It is in the E. >< of the S. E. .H of Sec. 25, Tp. 16 N.. R. 10 E..
and the W. 3^ of the S. W. % of Sec. 30, Tp. 16 N., R. 11 E. The original plat was
laid out and platted by Thomas Brown, Surveyor, and was acknowledged by
Lewis C. Freeman and James B. Harris, proprietors, December 25, 1829.
The main street running east and west is designated as "The Great National
Road." The original plat contains eight blocks, consisting of sixty four lots.
The iirst Eastern addition, situat.?d immediately east of the ori^nal plat, was
platted March 2, tS36. and on the same date was acknowledged by Rozel Spencer and
William D. Westerfield. proprietors, and contains ten blocks, consisting of eighty four
lots.
The first Southern addition, situated immediately south of the original plat, was
platted April 28. 1S36, and was acknowledged by Dr. M. Strong, proprietor. May 2. 1S36,
and contains fourteen lots, no blocks designated.
Q^S hazzard's history of henry county.
The George B. Morris' addition, situated immediately east of the school lot, on the
south side of the National Road, was platted November 26, 1902, and was acknowledged
by Morris on the same date and contains four and ninety four hundredths acres, divided
into thirty lots, no blocks designated.
It was first proposed to name this town Freeman vi lie, after Lewis C.
Freeman, one of the original proprietors, but as it was discovered that there
was another town of that name in this State it was finally determined to call
it Lewisville, incorporating the first or given name of Mr. Freeman.
Lewisville is today a better town than ever before. No saloon is per-
mitted there, while there are two, perhaps three, fine churches, and many
handsome residences. These taken in connection with the excellent business
blocks all denote a prosperous and happy commimity of people.
That the country around Lewisville is in a high state of cultivation is evi-
denced by the fact that the First National Bank of that town, with a capital of
only $25,000. has deposits of about five times that amount. The town only has
the one banking institution which is treated of elsewhere in this History in
the chapter entitled "Banks and Banking." In the chapter in this history
entitled "Newspapers, Past and Present'' will be found a full account of the
newspapers that have been published and of the one now in existence in Lewis-
ville.
Lewisville is the only town in Franklin. Township and is also the only
postoffice that was ever established in that township. There is a tradition in
South Franklin Township that before the postoffice was established in Lewis-
ville there was a postoffice on the county line a mile and a qtiarter south of the
town kept by Gamette Hayden. However, there is no official record in
Washingt'on City of such an office. It is probable that mail was carried from
established offices to Hayden's house, which was on the main line of stage travel,
for distribution in that neighborhood. Lewis C. Freeman was the first post-
master at Lewisville and opened the office for business, May 27, 1831. On
pages 38 and 39 of this history will be found a list of the postmasters, together
with the names of the two rural route carriers connected with the office.
The census of 1900 places the population of the town at 404.
This place with only a remnant of its former greatness remaining is sit-
uated in Prairie Township, nine and three fourths miles north and one fourth
mile east from the court house in New Castle, and is in the N. E. ^ of Sec.
27, Tp. 19 N., R. ID E., and was laid out and platted by Lot Hazelton, pro-
prietor, and acknowledged by him, January 19, 1836, and contains six blocks,
consisting of eighteen lots. No addition appears to have been filed to the
original plat.
The early settlers of Prairie Township came principally from Virginia
and named this town Luray, after the county seat of Page County, in the "Old
Dominion."
The author of this Historj' w^ell remembers wdien Luray was the most
important point between New Castle and Muncie. At an early day, before the
advent of railroads, aside from the fact that New Castle and Muncie were
HAZZARDS HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY. 939
each county seats, Luray was as good a trading point as either and probably
did as much business. Some of the most enterprising and prosperous mer-
chants of the county obtained their start in Luray, notably the late Isaac R.
Howard, for many years the leading wholesale merchant of Richmond, Indi-
ana, and in whose name the business is yet carried on by his son John ; Jere-
miah Page, who built the first brick hotel in New Castle, where the Bundy
House now stands, was for many years an enterprising citizen of this place.
One of the finest flouring mills in the county stood a half m'-\e east of Luray.
The building, an imposing structure, still stands and is used as a barn and for
other farming purposes.
The decay of Luray began when the Bellefontaine railroad, now a part of
the Big Four railway, was built north of it through Delaware County, and
when the present Panhandle railroad was built south of it through N6w Cas-
tle : thus the trade was drawn away from it to New Castle and Muncie. Later,
when the road was built north from New Castle to Muncie it left Luray one
and one half miles to the east, and the establishinent of the village of Spring-
port in Henry County and of Oakville in Delaware County, both of which
are but two miles distant, was the death knell of the place for business.. The
establishment of the rural routes caused the abandonment of the postoffice
Now there are less than a dozen houses in the place and one small store oper-
ated by a man named McKinley. Thus do the ravages of time tell on towns
as well as on individuals.
Prairie Township had four postoffices — Hillsboro (Dan Webster),
Luray, Mount Summit and Springport. The two first named have been dis-
continued. The postoffice at Luray was established May 15, 1838, and was
discontinued June 15, 1901. On page 39 of this Histon,^ will be found a com-
plete list of the postmasters of this place.
MECHANICSBURG.
This village is situated in Fnll Creek Township, nine and three fourths
miles west and five miles north of west from the court house in New Castle,
and three and one half miles south and one mile west of south from Middle-
town, and is in the S. E. } of Sec. 13 and the N. E. ^ of Sec. 24, Tp. 18 N.,
R. 8 E. and the S. W. } of Sec. 18 and the N. W. | of Sec. 19, Tp. 18 N., R.
9 E., and was laid out and pl-itted by Peter Keesiing, Margaret Keesling,
William Alexander, Frances Alexander, George Keesling and Elizabeth
Keesling, proprietors, and was acknowledged by them September 22, i8=;8,
and contains four blocks, consisting of thirty four lots. No addition to the
town has ever been filed.
The place is so named from the fact that when the settlement was started there
were so many mechanics, representing the different trades, living there that it was
determined to recognize them by calling the place Mechanicsburg.
This is the only village or town in the county that was laid ofi" and
platted since the advent of railroads that is not located on a railway line. Des-
pite the fact that it has no railroad and that railroads have been built all
around it, it has not only maintained but it has also increased its importance as a

trading center. Its nearest railroad point and shipping place is Middletown,
but the railroad stations of Honey Creek, Sulphur Springs, Kennard and
Shirley, in Henry County, and Markleville and Emporia, in Madison County,
are easily reached from the 'burg.
Before the days of railroads and steam mills, and before the streams
were all reduced to their present diminutive size by ditching and drainage,
there were a woolen factory, a grist mill and a saw mill, all adjacent to
Mechanicsburg. on Deer Creek ; all these have disappeared.
Mechanicsburg is noted for the many exterprising and progressive young
men that have gone out in the world from that village. The leading citizen
for many years was the late Nimrod R. Elliott, a full biographical sketch of
whom will be found elsewhere in this History.
The author of this History in gathering the facts has found that no place in
Henry County, according to its population, sent more soldiers to the Civil War
than Mechanicsburg and vicinity; in fact its record in this respect is far ahead
of many other localities having a much greater population.
Mechanicsburg had an existence as a trading point more than a score
of years before it was laid off and platted as a village. The first merchant
to establish a store in that neighborhood was Thomas Dunning, who began
business about the year iS.jq, the exact date is disputed. The year named
is from the best information obtainable, furnished by William H. Keesling.
A postoffice was established July 14, 1849, ^"d its first postmaster, Thomas B.
Keesling, who was born in Preble County, Ohio, May 15, 1824, is still living in San
Jose, California. A list of the postmasters will be found on page 40 of this His-
tory. Mechanicsburg is one of the three postoffices that have existed and that still
exist in Fall Creek Township, the other two being Honey Creek and Middletown.
It shares with Cadiz and Greensboro the honor of being the only postoffices in
the county not on the line of a railroad.
Notwithstanding its importance, this village has never been incorporated ;
therefore its ])opuIation is included onlv in that of Fall Creek Township. (See
Giapter XXXVni).
The village of Messick is situated in Blue River Township, four and three-
Cjuarter miles northeast from the court house in New Castle, on the Big Four rail-
way. This village was never laid off or platted into town lots by anyone and was
founded in the year 1882. The real estate there is described by metes and bounds.
Said village is in the S. ^\^ J of Sec. 29 and the N. W. -]- of Sec. 32, Tp. 18
N., R. II E.
It is so named after a well-known family that has for so many years lived
there. The place has an existence antedating many years the building of the Big
Four railway. Before the building of the Panhandle railway through the counts-
and the establishment of Ashland, there was a postoffice at Messick known by that
name which dates back to February 26, 1847. It was a countrs- affair, kept for
some time in the respective homes of the successive postmasters and afterward in
a country store owned bv Millikan and Messick, and perhaps by others. Later,
Messick postoffice was discontinued and moved to Ashland, as is recorded in the
short description of the last named place found at the beginning of this chapter.
HAZZARDS HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY. 94I
When in 1882 the Big Four railway was completed through the county, east
from New Castle, Messick was again given official existence and a postoffice was
established, dating from April 7, 1884, and on page 40 of this History will be
found a list of the postmasters. However, the postmasters as set out under the
head of Ashland in Chapter I of this History from James M. Conner to William
Millikan, senior, inclusive, should be considered as at the old country office of
Messick. Messick, Mooreland and Rockland are Blue River Township's three
postoffices, the last named, however, having been discontinued.
All the population of the village is included in that of Blue River Township,
(See Chapter XXX\qn.)
Messick is on the projected line of the Indianapolis, New Castle and Toledo
railway (electric line).
MIDDLETOWN.
This town, so named for the reason that it was considered the half way point
between New Castle and Anderson, is situated in Fall Creek Township, twelve
miles northwest from the court house in New Castle, on the banks of Fall Creek,
on the Panhandle railway, on the line of the Union Traction Company from An-
derson to New Castle, and is in the S. E. ^ and the N. E. 1 of Sec. 31 and the N.

HAZZARDS HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY. ^43
In point of population and wealth and as a business point, Middletown has al-
ways been considered the third town in the county, ranked only by New Castle
and Knightstojvn. It is surrounded by a fine body of fertile land, all of which has
been converted into highly improved farms. The town has always enjoye'd a good
trade from the southern part of Delaware County, particularly from the "Rich-
woods" neighborhood, as the county line is only two miles north from the Welsh
hotel.
Middletown is noted for its fine private residences, its elegant churches and
schools and the high character of its business blocks, particularly the Welsh hotel.
It has one bank, known as the Farmers' State Bank of Middletown, with a capital
of $30,000, and the thrift and prosperity of its people may be measured from the
fact that this bank with so small a capital has carried a deposit account of $200,000.
This bank is treated of elsewhere in this History in the chapter entitled "Banks
and Banking."
A postoffice was established September 10, 1830. with Jacob Koontz. as post-
master, and on pages 40 and 41 of this History will be found a list of the post-
masters together with the names of the four rural route carriers connected with
that office. Middletown is one of the three postoffices that have existed and that
still exist in Fall Creek Township, the other two being Honey Creek and Mechan-
icsburg. Its population according to the census of 1900 is given as 1801.
Middletown was incorporated in 1840 by Chauncey H. Burr and fourteen
others.
MILLVILLE.
The most eastern village in Henry County on the line of the Panhandle rail-
road is situated in Liberty Township, six and one fourth miles east and one half
mile south of east from the court house in New Castle, and is in the N. E. i of Sec.
15 and the N. W. -]- of Sec. 14, Tp. 17 N., R. 11 E., and was laid out and plat-
ted by John Minesinger, Deputy Surveyor, December 4, 1854, by order of the
Court of Common Pleas of Henry County, in January, 1854, from the lands be-
longing to the estate of John Hershberger, deceased, and contains eight lots, no
blocks designated.
Abbott's addition, situated immediately west of the original plat, was platted and
acknowledged by Abraham Abbott, August 28, 1856, and contains five blocks, consisting
of twenty lots.
Forkner's additidn, situated immediately north of the original plat, was platted and
acknowledged by Micajah C. Forkner June 20, 1870, and contains five blocks, consisting
of twenty one lots.
A plat of Millville, surveyed and platted by William R. Harrold. Surveyor, the
same being a re-survey and plat of the original plat and all additions thereto was made
and filed in the Recorder's office, August 7, 1873.
The village takes its name from a mill which stood nearby, when the Pan-
handle railroad was completed to that place, owned by John Hershberger. The
railroad established a station there and called it Millville. About this time
Hershberger was accidentally killed in the mill, and it being determined to survey
and plat the lands into lots, an order of court was obtained therefor as above
stated.

IIAZZARDS HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY.
The first store room in the town was built by Mica j ah C. Forkner, father of
Judge Mark E. Forkner, of New Castle, who, if he did not start the first store
himself, only rented the room for a short time to other parties, and then oc-
cupied the store room himself with a stock of general merchandise.
;\Iillville has always been considered a half way point between New Castle
and Hagerstown. For many years, as a shipping point, it had the trade of Blue
River and Stony Creek townships on the north and of the northern part of Dud-
ley Township on the south, now lost to Millville by the construction of railroads
through New Lisbon, Mooreland and Blountsville. It now, as a point for the
purchase and shipment of grain and live stock, ranks high from the fact that
Samuel D. Wiseheart and Sons, most enterprising merchants in this line, have
made it their headquarters for many years.
A postoffice was established June 7, 1855, with Andrew J. Cromer, as post-
master. On page 41 of this history will be found a list of the postmasters. Mill-
ville is one of the four postoffices that have existed in Liberty Township, the other
three being Chicago (discontinued). Devon (discontinued) and Ashland.
]\Iillville has never been incorporated, and for that reason its population is
included in that of Liberty Township. (See Chapter XXXVIII).

One of the early settlers of Blue River Township and one of the most success-
ftd farmers was Philip Moore, who, dying November 27, 1873, left a valu:bh
estate and a fine farrn immediately adjoining the present town of Mooreland. One
of his sons. Miles M., by purchase and inheritance, came into possession of that
part of the land from which the original plat of Mooreland was surveyed, and it is
from these facts that the town is named Mooreland.
A postoffice was established Augtist 21, 1882. On page 41 of this History
will be found a list of the postmasters and the names of the two rural route carriers
connected with that office, one of whom. Henry H. ^Moore, is a brother of Miles
M., who laid off the town.
Mooreland is surrounded by as fine farming land as there is in Henry
County and everything in the town and surrounding country denotes thrift and
prosperity. The town has a bank, the history of which will be found in the chapter
in this History devoted to "Banks and Banking." The first store was started by
Marcus Holliday, son of Oliver Holliday, an early settler, in 1882. The popula-
tion is given in the census of 1900 at 300. Mooreland is on the projected line of
the Indianapolis, New Castle and Toledo electric railway. Mooreland, INIessick
and Rockland are Blue River Township's three postoffices, the last named having
been discontinued.
MILES MARSHALL MOORE.
1^- WHOSE HO.XOB THE TOWN OF MOORELAND W.\S NAMED.
Miles Marshall Moore, the third son of Philip and Julia Ann (Wilson) Moore, was
horn November 18, 1836, on his father's farm in Blue River Township, Henry County,
Indiana. He died April 14, 1886, and is buried in Nettle Creek Cemetery, near the old
town of Franklin, five miles north of Hagerstown, Wayne County. His father, Philip
Moore, was the son of one of the first pioneer settlers of Henry County, William Moore,
a native of Tennessee, and his wife, Catharine (Cotener) Moore, who first settled in
Preble County. Ohio, where Philip Moore was born April 24, 1812, and who afterwards,
when Philip was but fourteen years of age, came to Henry County with his family and
settled in Blue River Township. William Moore was a soldier of the War of 1812-15, a
record of which fact will be found in another place in this History.
The boyhood days of Miles Marshall Moore were spent in the service of his father
and he was a potent helper in clearing the land and cultivating the soil of his father's
farm. His education was such as could be secured at the common or district schools of
the period. In 1860, with a view to going to some new country, if the outlook proved
promising, he took a trip to the Great West from which he soon afterward returned home
where he remained with his father until August 27, 1861. The Civil War was then in
progress and he enlisted as a private in Company C, 36th Indiana Infantry, and partici-
pated in all the engagements of that famous regiment, serving a full enlistment of three
years. He was a brave and gallant soldier and the record of his military service will he
found in connection with that of his company and regiment in Chapter XVI of this
History.

HAZZARDS HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY. 947
After his honorable discharge from the army at Atlanta, Georgia, September 15,
1864, he returned to his home in- Blue River Township, and in the following year, March
26, 1865, was united in marriage with Nancy, daughter of Thomas and Elvira Lamb, of
Dalton, Wayne County, Indiana. She was liorn November 17, 1845.
Immediately after their marriage. Miles M. Moore and his wife went to White
County, in the western part of the State of Indiana, where he and his brother, James
H. Moore, had purchased for seven thousand five hundred dollars, two hundred and fifty
acres of land. After making the first payment on the land, he had thirty dollars left witli
which he and his wife began housekeeping. She was a very economical woman and a
valued helpmeet, using as little as possible of their small store of money for the house-
hold but spending the greater part of it for corn, hay and feed for the stock. Mrs. Moore
not only performed her duties as the housekeeper but often went into the field and as-
sisted her husband in tilling and cultivating the soil. This double labor, willingly per-
formed, was continued until the birth of their first child, Philip Edgar, born May 12,
1867. He was a very bright and interesting child and was the pride of the household. On
January 15, 1869, Thomas Eugene, their second child, was born. From this time the
health of Mrs. Moore declined and her husband became correspondingly depressed and
discouraged. On May IS, 1872, the eldest son, Philip Edgar, or Eddie as he was famil-
iarly called, was taken down with brain fever from which, after severe pain and suffer-
ing, death came to his relief. At the earnest desire of the wife and mother, the remains
of the child were taken to Wayne County, Indiana, and were there interred in Nettle
Creek Cemetery. He died May 28, 1872.
The husband and wife returned to their desolate home where they remained for
a time but the health of the family not improving, Mr. Moore disposed of his interest in
the White County farm and in 1874. following the death of his father, purchased a part
of the old homestead and on August ISth returned to Henry County, from which time
their health improved and their prospects became bright for a prosperous future.
Mr. Moore was for many years, as his widow is now, a member of the United Breth-
ren Church, to which he gave of his strength and means liberally during his life. Polit-
ically, Mr. Moore was for a number of years a radical Republican but he subsequently De-
came a "Greenbacker" and gave to that organization, of which he was a leading member
in Henry County, his warm and active support. He was a firm believer in the idea that
the Government should issue all money and that the same should be a full legal tender
for all purposes, public and private.
Miles Marshall Moore was a good citizen and was one of that great number of loyal
and patriotic men, who by their acts and deeds during the great Civil War gave honor
to the splendid military history of Indiana and Henry County. He was an experienced,
practical farmer and by thrift and industry accumulated a life's competency. He was of
an energetic and persevering disposition and won and held the regard and esteem of
his neighbors and many friends.
Thomas Eugene, the second son of Miles M. Moore and his wife, Nancy (Lamb)
Moore, was married September 21, 1889, to Rozella Bird, who was born March 27, 1872.
She was the daughter of Joseph and Eliza (Houser) Bird, of the well known family of
that name which has been for many years prominent in the affairs of Stony Creek Town-
ship. Henry County. They have two children, Ernest Edgar, born August 26, 1890. and
Gladys, born September 19, 1896. Thomas Eugene and his family reside in Muncie. the
"rfiagic city" of Delaware County, Indiana, where he is engaged in the natural gas and
oil business.
Since the death of Miles Marshall Moore, April 14, 1886, as above stated, his widow,
Nancy (Lamb) Moore, has given all of her time to overseeing and managing the property
left by her beloved husband. She is a thorough business woman and has conducted the
business with great care and prudence, not only keeping the property intact but adding
materially to its value. She resides at Mooreland, where she has a fine home and where
she o\NTis one hundred and forty two acres of land, adjoining that place on the south,
which Is highly improved and which is valued at one hundred and fifty dollars per acre.
She is a very excellent woman, domestic in her habits, hospitable, of a kindly disposition,
charitable, and has the entire respect of the community in which she lives.
948 hazzard's history of henry county.
The town of Mooreland was laid out by Miles M. Moore and was named in his honor.
, It is a thriving place, is kept neat and clean, has a provident population, is blessed with
good schools, good churches, good society and bears the reputation of being the most
beautiful town in Henry County.
MOUNT SUMMIT.
Mount Summit, or Summit as it is generally called, derives its name from the
supposition that it occupies one of the highest points of land in the county and is
situated in Prairie Township, five miles north and three fourths of a mile west of
north from the court house in New Castle and is in the S. E. 34 of Sec. 16 and the
N. E. Ya of Sec. 21 and the S. W. 14 of Sec. 15 and the N. W. J4 of Sec. 22, Tp-
18 N., R. 10 E., and was laid out and platted by Isaac Kinley, Surveyor, and was
acknowledged by Jesse Ice. proprietor, July 11, 1854, and contains four blocks,
consisting of fifteen lots.
A plat of Mount Summit by Jesse Ire, situated immediately south of the pike lead-
ing west to Sulphur Springs and on the east side of the Lake Erie and Western railway
was laid out, platted and acknowledged by Jesse Ice, proprietor, July 22, 1857, and con-
tains twenty four lots, no blocks designated.
William West's addition, situated immediately east of the road running north and
south from New Castle to Springport F.nd on the north side of the pike running east
and west from Mount Summit to Sulphur Springs, was platted April 16, 1869, and was
acknowledged by West on the same date, and contains three blocks, consisting of ten
lots.
Abel W. Ice's addition, situated immediately east and south of the original plat,
on the south side of the pike running east and west and on the west side of the pike
running north and south, was platted April 16, 1869, and acknowledged by Ice on the
same date, and contains five blocks, consisting of twenty four lots.
Peter P. Rifner's addition, situated on the north side of the pike running east
and west, and east of the Lake Erie and Western railway, was platted August 8, 1870,
and was acknowledged by Rifner April 1, 1872, and contains two blocks, consisting of
fourteen lots.
Abel W. Ice's second addition, situated immediately south of his first addition and
between the railroad and the pike running north and south, was platted October 17,
1871, and was acknowledged by Ice, Apr'l 26, 1872, and contains three blocks, consisting
of eleven lots.
Sarah Ice's addition, situated immediately east of Abel W. Ice's first and second ad-
ditions and south of West's addition, was platted October 24, 1871, and was acknowledged
by Sarah Ice, October 16, 1S72. and contains two blocks, consisting of eight lots.
A plat of Mount Summit made by William R. Harrold, Surveyor, includes all of
the foregoing additions and ten out-lots, and was completed May 9, 1873.
Peter P. Rifner's second addition, situated immediately north of Abel W. Ice's first
addition, was platted May 24, 1R90, and was acknowledged by Rifner on the same date,
and contains two blocks, consisting of eight lots.
Ezekiel T. Ice's addition, situated immediately south of Sarah Ice's addition and
on the east side of the pike running north and south, was platted June 9, 1891, and was
acknowledged by Ezekiel T. Ice and Hester A. Ice, on the same date, and contains seven
lots, no blocks designated.
The village was first projected in anticipation of the construction of the north
and south railroad before the Civil war. This road collapsed preceding the panic
of 1857 and it was not. until more than a dozen years thereafter, completed north
from New Castle to Muncie. This accounts for the fact that no postoffice was
HAZZARDS HISTORY OF HENRY COUNTY. 949
established until Xovember 25, 1869. Prior to this time the people of the neigh-
borhood got their mail from either New Castle, Sulphur Springs or Luray. The
first store was established in 1852 by John Warner.
On pages 41 and 42 of this History will be found a list of all the postmas-
ters, together with the name of the one rural route carrier connected with that
office.
As the place has never been incorporated its population, whatever it may be,
is included in that of Prairie Township. (See Chapter XXXVIII). Prairie
Township has had four postoffices — Hillsboro (Dan Webster), Luray, Mount
Summit and Springport. The two first named have been discontinued.
NEEDMORE.
Needmore was an old settlement or village, never platted into lots, situated
in Harrison Township, on the road leading due west and distant from Cadiz three
and one half miles at a cross roads, and two and one half miles due south of
Mechanicsburg. At an early day this village or settlement contained a store, a
blacksmith shop, a wagon shop, a shoemaker's shop and a saw mill and possibly
other industries which enter into the make-up of a little settlement. It never ac-
quired the distinction of being a postoffice and at this time all evidences of the for-
mer village have disappeared.
Needmore's chief claim to fame rests in the fact that a company of the Indiana
Legion or Home Guards was organized at Mechanicsburg during the Civil War
which was known as the "Needmore Rangers," a goodly number of the members
of the organization coming from that particular locality. The author has been un-
