Was a Pennsylvanian, and had a brother most cruelly tortured and murdered by the Indians there. He vowed vengeance against all Indians, whether friends or enemies. It is probable that he has been the means of sending many a red man to the happy hunting ground. It is related that on one occasion an Indian in passing through the neighborhood stayed overnight with Will G Ibert, just over the Brown county line.
Was a man of unusual size, and had tremendous muscular j owor. Tradition has it that on one occasion he crosseed the river and anchored his canoe at the mouth of Fishing-gut Creek, and a party of Indians passing that way espied his vessel. A part of them ambushed to watch the canoe, while five others went in pursuit of his trail.
The first settlers, as before stated, located within the stockade, and their houses were only a few rude cabins. Fear of the Indians prevented them improving the lands adjoining on the outside of the fort. The late Andrew Ellison, who was captured in 1793, while working on his out-lot adjoining the stockade, attests the danger.

Flown by the U.S. Geological Survey between 1937 and 1989, the Aerial Photo Single Frames collection is the definitive mid-century view of the land: fields, roads and rivers as the camera saw them. The Survey holds 857 frames inside the rectangle that bounds this county; the 32 frames below were taken over the county itself, chosen across the decades of flights (at most four a year from that rectangle), so one flight cannot crowd out the rest. The full set is free to browse and download at EarthExplorer under the dataset Aerial Photo Single Frames.
The thermometers that kept this county's weather, and the gages that measured the flow of its streams, as the federal records hold them. The extremes below are measured values from those records, not estimates.
Who lived here in 1950, one enumeration district at a time, as the Census Bureau described each district. Each row opens its official National Archives result, with Population Schedules and ED Maps available there.
Every Sanborn volume opens with a printed index naming the town's mills, tanneries, hotels and works by proprietor. Those indexes were read off the scanned sheets by machine and then matched to each other, so a business surveyed four times appears here once, with the years it survived. 1 of these 13 was named in more than one atlas. Each carries a crop of the line it was read from: the spelling is the recogniser's and the 1880s lithographer's, and the scan behind it is the proof.

Damage to trees and structures occurred here, with one manufactured structure on Robinson Hollow Road completely destroyed. From here, the tornado continued northeast and caused outbuilding and tree damage along Fryman Road.||The tornado then caused damage along Eagle Creek Road and Tomlin Road, with the Kirker Covered Bridge losing all of it's roofing panels. Several well constructed outbuildings were heavily damaged on Tomlin Road and multiple large hardwood trees were snapped. Similar magnitude damage was observed along State Route 136 and McClanahan Road, where hardwood trees were snapped and some structures were damaged. Winds in this area were estimated to be around 100 mph. ||To the northeast, along Old Cincinnati Pike and Stan Roberts Road, the damage intensity lessened slightly as the tornado expanded to the maximum estimated with of 500 yards. Uprooted and snapped trees continued to be observed along State Route 125, Nehus Road, Chaparal Road, and State Route 247. Damage became less persistent to the northeast, but considerable tree loss at the Adams Lake State Park indicated the tornado was still on the ground northeast of West Union. The tornado is believed to have dissipated to the west of State Route 41. |

The first notable signs of damage occurred to a nearby pole barn, which partially collapsed. The tornado then moved just north of due east, snapping and uprooting numerous trees and large branches along Greenlee Road.

The tornado then crossed State Route 247 north of its intersection with Mount Leigh Road, about one mile north of Seaman. On the east side of the highway, a roof was partially removed from a single story home. Directly behind this home, two pole barns sustained heavy damage. Farther east, an aerial survey revealed continuous heavy tree damage along West Fork Ohio Brush Creek. The tornado caused destruction of outbuildings and roof damage to a single story home on State Route 770, just west of its intersection with Old State Route 32. The tornado then lifted.

The tornado crossed Stanfield Road and crossed Old Dutch Road near Clayton Pike. Along this stretch, the tornado caused significant tree damage, minor damage to homes, and significant damage to numerous barns and outbuildings. More trees were toppled as the tornado crossed Clayton Pike again, west of Old Dutch Road.
