INTRODUCTION

U[ WORD or two of apology is due my patrons for the delay

/I in the appearance of the Directory, - the first day of TjY November last was the time the Compiler intended for its \J appearance. On the 14th d-iy of June, 1875, 1 was stricken down with sickness - so severe, that the following December found me just able to be about, yet not strong enough for hardy exer- cise. In May, 1876, I commenced taking an enumeration of the City, but my last year's disease returning, enfeebled me so much that the work was not completed until about the first day of July following. Being my own type-setter, made it an arduous undertaking, without the lingering effects of my two summers' illness, which compelled me to stop work at different times for three or four days, and even for a week at a time. This is my apology for appearing before you at this late day.

To comp3nsate my patrons for this unavoidable delay, I have given them some forty more pages than I first intended, and added such a variety of useful information, I am sure will be pleasing to my many readers. S?e Table of Contents.

This Directory is made up so differently from other works of the kind, that the reader will be interested in almost every page. Those seeking information as to the population of our City, by adding up the first and second columns of figures, the total result will give them the number of inhabitants - the total result of the third and fourth columns will give the number of minors under 21 years of age. According to my count, I make the population a few under five thousand. This is less than many claimed. I do not claim perfection for the Directory - but I do claim that it is an improvement on all that have been previously published. That is all I claim. Over twenty-five hundred names will be found in the Directory department alone.

The " Three Score and Tex " department will be read with deep interest. For the few sketches I have obtained, the state-

iv WHITE'S MOUNT VERNON DIRECTORY.

ments made therein were given by the persons named . They will please accept my thanks. Other sketches were promised, which I should have been pleased to have procured, but my continued ill health made it impossible for me to devote the time necessary to obtained the information required.

If life and health are spared, I shall endeavor to get up an- other work that will contain biographical sketches of all citizens over 70 years of age, not only of this city, but will also include the whole county.

Such errors of omission or commission my kind readers may discover, I respectfully ask them to overlook, for they are more annoying to the writer than to the reader.

LVI. NORMAN W. PUTNAM. Mr. Norman W. Putnam, of Gambler, Ohio, was born in Windi^or county, Vermont, on the 21st clay of October, 1800. Came to Gambier in 1829. AVas employed as clerk in the College Store, where he remained nearly five years. Was married to Miss 3Iaria Douglass, in February, 1833, to whom were born ten children - seven now living.

From " Wldreth^s Fioneers of O/iio,^^ it appears that all the Putnams, of New England, descended from John Putnam, who emigrated from Buckinghamshire, England, and settled in Salem, Massachusetts, in 1634, where General Israel Putnam was born in 1717. General Rufus Putnam was born at Sutton, "Worcester county, Massachusetts, in 1733. At the same place, Sutton, and not far from the same time, the grand-father of Norman Putnam was born. In regard to the exact relationship j between the different branches of the Putnam family, our inform- j ant is unable to determine.

LVII LVIII.

JAMES S. AND SOPHIA A. SAWER.

Mr. James Smith Sawer, of Gambier, was born in Leiston,

county of Suffolk, England, on the 12th day of October, 1804.

MOUNT VERNON.

^OR a brief sketch of Mount Vernon, the compiler of this 3^ work, was in hopes of being able to have secured an abler ^5 pen than his own. In this he failed. He has been forced to become his own historian. He desires the kind wishes of his fellow-citizens for the success of an undertaking he ventured upon with many doubts and fears.

Howe's " Early Recollections of Ohio," and the Honorable A. Banning Norton's " History of Knox County, Ohio," both excellent works, has left so little to be said about the early histo- ry of our city, that it is almost impossible to write upon the sub- ject without re-producing that upon wliich they both spent so much time and labor, and I do not wish to encroach upon their " manor " more than is absolutely required.

I quote a paragraph from Howe's " Recollections," on account of its being more condensed and to the point, than Mr. Norton's. Mr. Norton's account of the early settlement of our city, runs through some sixty pages of his work, and has so many personal anecdotes mixed up in the narrative, as to render it too burden- some for a work of this brief description. Howe writes :

" The early settlers of the county were mainly from the Mid- dle States, with some of New England origin. In 1805 Mount Veron was laid out, and named by the proprietors of the soil, who were Joseph Walker, Thomas B. Patterson and Ben- jamin Butler." Mount Vernon was named after the family residence of General Washington. " At this time the county was thinly settled. Two years after, the principal settlers were, as far as they are recollected, the Rileys, Darlings, Shrimplins, Butlers, Critchtields, Welkers, Dials, Logues and De Witts, on the Vernon river. In other parts of the county the Hurds, the Beams, Hunts and Dimick, Kerr, Ayres, Houck, Dalrymple, Hilliard, the Youngs, Mitchells, Bryants, Knights and Walkers. In the spring of 1807 there were only three families living on the plat of Mount Vernon, viz : Benjamin Butler, tavern keep- er, from Pennsylvania, Peter Coyle, and James Craig. The

10 WHITE'S MOUNT VERXOX DIRECTORY.

early settlers of the villag;?. were, besides those nam?cl, Joseph and James Walker, Michael Click, David and William Petti- grew, Samuel Kratzer, Oilman Bryant, and Rev. James Smith, who came in 180§, and was the first Methodist clergyman."

The rii.^e played upon the Commissioners appointed to locate the Seat of Justice for the County of Knox, has been published and narrated so often, that it has become as familiar to all "as a twice tolil tale," consequently I refrain from giving it place in this sketch. Mr. Xorton gives three versions of the affair, as re- lated to him by old settlers. Clinton, the only rival for the prize, at tliat time, was far ahead of Mount Vernon, submitted with a bad grace, and for over five years, made great efforts to obtain a re-hearing. But all in vain.

Tlie first store opened in Mount Vernon, was owned l)y Mr. Oilman Bryant, and was situated on the lot where now stands the store of Messrs. J. C. Swetland & Co., south west corner of Main and Oambier streets. " It was a little story and-a-half sycamore cabin, where he kept powder, shot, lead, whisky, etc., for sale to the Indians, and the few whites, in 1S07." - Xorton.

"The first brick building was erected in the spring of 1815, by Mr. Oilman Bryant." - Howe. During the past season, this old building has been demolished, and the Honorable ITexky B. CuiiTis has erected on its site one of the most substantial and beautiful public buildings in Central Ohio.

" The first church, the Old School Presbyterian, (now down,) was built about 1817. It was of brick, forty feet square, and one story high ; the first Pastor wastlie Rev. James Scott. Tlie first licensed preacher in the county was the Rev. William Thrift, a Baptist, from Loudon county, Virginia, who came in 1807, and travelled from house to house." - Hoice.

Upon the site of the church just alluded to, the Presbyterian society erected a large and substantial frame cliurch. This last building was destroyed by fire, and a few years since the mem- bers of the church erected the present beautiful edifice. The present Pastor is the Rev. O. H. Newton.

The first boundary lines of the city I recollect of seeing, though I placed but little confidt^nce in its reliability, was given by a 3Iount Vernon correspondent of the Columbus Ohio Sicde ./ounml, and appeared under date of January 9, 18(59, and reads as follows :

" Mount Vernon is boundetl on tlie north by tlie Fifth Ward and John II. Roberts ; on tlieeast by Oambier Hill and the but-

ter and egj? wagons of George B. Potvvin ; on the south by the waters of Owl Creek, the Gas Works and Arentrue's brewery ; and on the west by George Raymond's tannery, and Norton's Mill Race ! "

February 26, 1845, the State Legislature passed an act entitled " An Act to Incorjjorate the Town of Mount Vernon, in Knox county," the first section reads cis follows :

Sec. 1. Be it Ordained by the Genercd Assembty of the St(de of Ohio, That so much of the town of Mount Vernon, in the coun- ty of Knox, as is comprised in the limits hereinafter described, that is to say, all the in-lots, streets and alleys, and otlier public ground bordered by the same, within the old original town plat, and its several recorded and confirmed additions, togetlier with idl fractions of lots or parcels of ground lying between the old town plat and either of said additions, especially to include such fractions or portions of ground not already laid out into town lots, as lie b^tweaa the south line of Hamtramc.v street, and the north line of Burgess street, extended between the Ham- tramck addition and Norton's addition ; and so mucli of like ground as lies south of the north line of Chestnut street, extend- ed east to the Coshocton road, and to include one tier of in-lots of usual size on the north side of Chestnut street, so extended as aforesaid ; also embracing the following grounds - commen- cing at Lambton Square, at the junction of the Mansfield and Wooster roads ; thence along the Mansfield road to the intersec- tion of the north line of the cross street or road, to the new grave-yard ; thence along the north line of said cross street to the grave-yard lot ; thence north, and so running around said grave-yard lot and including the school house lot to the south east corner thereof; thence following the aforesaid graveyard street, to the east line of the Wooster road ; thence southward along the east line of the said W^ooster road and the east line of Gay street, as extended to North street ; thence west to Main or Market street; thence north to the place of beginning, except such lots and streets in any of said plats or additions as have been vacated ; Provided, That this exception shall not exclude tlie vacated lots and streets east of Division street, and north of Front street in the eastern addition, but the same are hereby in- cluded in the limits according to the eastern boundary of said addition, as originally laid out and recorded, be and the same is hereby created into a town corporate, to be known by the name of the town of Mount Vernon ; Provided, That all ground hereafter laid out and recorded as town lots, or additions to said town, by name or otherwise, if contiguous thereto, shall, from the time of being so recorded, be included within the corporate limits of said town and constitute a part thereof.

Farther provisions of the above quoted act of incorporation, divided the town into five AVards, and allotted one Councilman to each Ward, anc^ provided for their election ; and also, for the

12 WHITE'S MOUNT VERNON DIRECTOIIY.

election of one Mayor, and one Recorder for the town at large. ; The tir?it officers elected under this act of incorporation, were as follows : Isaac Davis, Mayor - James Smith, Jr., Recor- der - and the following Councilmen - First Ward, J. Elliott - Second Ward, Job Evans - Third Ward, R. C. Hurd - Fourth Ward, H. B. Curtis - Fifth Ward, Charles Cooper.

Farther provisions of the act provided for the election of one town Treasurer, and one town ^Marshal, and one Street Commis- i sioner. For these places I find that A. C. Elliott was elected as Treasurer, C. L. Benxett, Marshal, and J. L. Young, Street j Commissioner.

Sec. lix. of the Municipal Code, passed May 3, 1852, provides " for the election of two Trustees for each Ward."

"Sec. XXI. Any town which by the special act of incorpo- j ration has been divided into Wards, shall be denominated a city \ of the Second Class, if the Council shall so determine." - O/iio Law, 2K(«sed 1853.

Sec. VII., of an Act to provide for the Organization of Muni- cipal Corporations, reads in part, as follows : " No incorporated village shall be advanced to the grade of a City of the Second Class until it shall have attained a population of five thousand." - rassed Mmj 7, 1869.

FIRST WORK EVER DONE ON THE STREETS OF MOUNT VERNON.

Mr. Norton, in his " History of Knox County," pages 95-6, gives this description of the first work ever done on the streets of Mount Vernon :

"Jonathan Hunt informs us he was one of the volunteer workers on the streets, at the time the Commissioners came on, (to locate the county seat,) and that Oilman Bryant sort of boss- ed the work, and, being a cripple, he tended on them, and gave out the\\ hisky and water, cheering them up as he came around, saying, ' work like men in harvest, but keep sober, boys.' - Mike Click, and John Click, his brother, drove the oxen. Mike was a bully hand with a team, and made them tear up stumps, haul logs, plow, and scrape, as necessary. Men never worked better on a road than that force then did. They chopped down trees, cut off logs, grubbed, dug down rough places, filled up gulleys, burned log heaps, and made a wonderful change in the appearance of things. It was the first work ever done on the streets of Mount Vernon."

MOUiNT VEKJNON'S PRESENT BOUxNDARY LINES.

JkN the 2d day of March, 1870, our City Council passed "An jjjj Ordinance Defining and Establishing the Corporate Limits

Y of the City of Mount Vernon, Ohio." The provisions of this Ordinance, I doubt not, will be new to most of my readers, and as a part of the current history of our beautiful City, the compi- ler of this work feels constrained to re-produce it here entire, for the information of our citizens. The provisions of the Ordi- nance reads as follows :

Things to be HeineiTibei-ecl,

A pound avoirdupois is equal to 7,000 grain-;.

If a stone be dropped from the hand, it will fall through IG feet during the first second of time.

Steel is the strongest metal, but gold is the most malleable; for a cubic inch of gold can be l)eaten out so as to cover the floor of a room 50 feet long and 40 feet wide.

The diamond is the hardest solid ; that is to say, it can scratch everything else, but nothing else can scratch it.

A cubic inch of water weighs nearly 252 grains; and, there- fore, four cubic inches weigh nearly 1,000 grains.

100 cubic inches of air weigh 31 grains.

100 cubic inches of carbonic acid weigh 47 grains.

100 cubic inches of hydrogen only weigh 2 grains.

The pressure of the r.tmosphere will suppor'*- a C(;lui;in of mer- cury 30 inches high, and a column of water more than 30 feet high.

Sound travels through air at a velocity of about 1,100 feet in one second of time.

If a musical string vibrates 60 times in one second, it emits a deep, low note ; if it vibrates 10,000 times in one second, it emits a slirill, high note.

The heat' required to melt a pound of ice would heat 79 pounds of water one degree. Tlie heat required to boil away a pound of boiling water would heat 537 pounds of water one degree.

The spark from a Leyden jar lasts only the twenty-four-thou- sandth part of one second. - Pro/. Balfour Steivcr.i.

LITERARY ANI> OTHER SOCIETIES.

(jIMe quote from Norton's " History of Knox County," page ^^ 270. " The first Society of a literary character, established at Mount Vernon, was the 'Polemic Society,' in 1815, which was kept up until 1817, and included among its members the more talkative and social citizens. It was converted into a Thespian Society, and was well sustained for many years. The- atrical performances were generally gotten up every winter, for a number of years, and were very creditable to those concerned. The object was to spend the long winter evenings agreeably - not to make money. Lawyers, DoCjtors, Merchants, and Students,

I lent a hand as occasion required. Among the active and valua- ble upon the boards, were Dr. R. P. Moore, Philo L. Norton, J.

[ W. Warden, Charles Sager, T. G. Plummer, Jacob Davis, Wm.

j Smith, S. W. Hildreth, S. W. Farquhar, Eli Miller, Henry B.

I Curtis, T. W. Rogers, Isaac Hadley, John Colerick, J. S. Ban-

I ning, and Calvin Hill. The exhibitions were usually at the Court House, or at the Golden Swan Inn. (The Golden Swan

I Inn building is now known as the Swetland and Banner office corner. - White.) The clothing, equipments and scenery, were of very rich material. One of the old actors says - ' it was most splendidly illustrated with georgeous parahernalia in most pro- fuse variety and transcends representation.' "

In 181 G "The Mount Vernon Library Society " was formed. In 1821-2 the young bachelors of the town formed " The Mount Vernon Literary Society." In 1880 " The Mount Vernon Lyce- um " was organized, and was well sustained for many years.

About the year 1830, a regular " Amateur Dramatic Associa- tion" was organized, and continued in existence until about

! 1840. The representations took place in the. second story of the

; 3

S ^

^18 WHITE'S MOUNT VERNON DIRECTORY.

Huiitsberry building, now known as the " Old ^Masonic Hall." At that time the whole of the second story was one large room, i and, for Theatrical purjioses, answered very well. The promi- | nent members were, F. J. Zimmerman, Wm. Thompson, James Blake, .James Smith, PL C. Vore, Benj. F. Smith, Benj. Colopy, N. N. Hill, Thomas Shaw, David Brentlinger, Elijah Stevens, Alex. Elliott, and Jacob B. Brown. One farce gave our citizens I great amusement, and is often spoken of yet, viz : " Raising the ] Wind." Among the cast of characters, now recolleced, were - "Jeremy Diddler," F. J. Zimmerman; " Peggy, the beautiful ]Maid at the foot of the Hill," was well sustained by Thomas Shaw. David Brentlinger was the company's Singer and Ven- triloquist. The Orchestra consisted of N. N. Hill, Benj. Colopy and Alex. Elliott. Stage Managers, B. F. Smith and F, J. Zim- merman.

In 1S;U, a " Mechanics' Society " was organized, which con- tinued in operation until 1840. In 1839, a society called the " Franklin," was formed for mental improvement.

" In 1S.')(I, Zohar Blair, Noah Hill, Robert Thompson, Daniel Clark, and Samuel Davis, started ' The Mechanics' Mutual Pro- tection Association,' which, after two years, was merged in the Brotherhood of the Union, and continued till 1854."

In December, 1849, several gentlemen of Mount Vernon set about getting up a Historical Society for Knox County, and, in 1850, a constitution was drawn up and signed by "thirty-two gentlemen, fourteen of whom," writes Mr. Norton, " have pass- ed way from earth. Twelve years have passed by, the society long since was numbered with the things that were - and this - ( the " History of Knox County,") - comes the nearest to being a report of any thing that yet has emanated from any of its mem- bers."

:Mr. Norton gives the names of the members of the Histori- cal Society, which we take pleasure in copying, viz:

Ilosmer Curtis, Oilman Bryant, Joseph Muenscher, M. E. Striel)y, Jesse B. Thomas, James Scott, Daniel S. Norton, M. H. Mitchell, Henry B. Curtis, R. C. Hurd, R. R. Sloan, A. Banning Norton, C. P. Buckingham, G. W. Morgan, C. Delano, Walter Smith, M. W. Stamp, N. N. Hill, George Browning, Matthew Thompson, J. C. Ramsey, J. N. Burr, Samuel Israel, W. Beam, J. W. Vance, W. H. Smith, John C. Stockton, D. Potwin, John W. White, J. H. Peacock, Samuel Mower, John W. Russell. Hosmei- Curtis was chosen President; G. Bryant, Vice President;

WHITE'S MOUNT VERNON DIRECTORY. 19

R. C. Hurd, Treasurer ; Rev. J. Muenscher, Corresponding Sec- retary ; M. E. Strieby, Recording Secretary ; R. R. Sloan, Cabinet Keeper.

In 1856, Rev. Dr. Muenscher formed a new " Mount Vernon Library Society," that continued in existence till some time in 18G4.

In ISoB, Dr. T. Eugene Clark, Robert Buck, J. Q. Buck, NVm. A. Bounds, Thomas Wilson, C. Springer and John W. White, associated together, and formed " The Atheneum," for Amateur Theatrical representations. They were assisted by Mrs. J. Q. Buck, Miss Irene Swan, and Miss Sallie Swetnam, of Cincinna-

ti, and Miss Julia Irvine of New York city. The association | continued for two years, and numerous performances w^ere given {

j the citizens.

j On the evening of Monday, February 16, 1874, an association

i of young ladies and gentlemen of this city, gave an Amateur Dramatic entertainment, at Wolff's Hall. The pieces selected were the popular drama entitled "All that Glitters is not Gold," and the laughable farce of " The Quiet Family." The Banner, of February 20, speaking of the first night's performance, says :

, " The house was crowded to overflowing, and every thing pass- ed off to the entire satisfaction of all concerned The

audience were so well pleased with the performance, that it was repeated, by general request, on the next evening."

On the evening of May 4, 1874, the same association placed upon the boards the pleasing drama of " Down by the Sea," and the roaring farce of " Raising the Wind." This entertainment was given under the auspices, and for the benefit of the " Mount Vernox SiLViiR Cornet Band." The performance of these two pieces gave as much, if not more, satisfaction, to the audi- ence, than the peformances of February 16, and 17, 1874.

On the evening of February 25, 1876, the same association pre- sented to our people, at Kirk Hall, " The Honeymoon," for the benefit of the "Soldiers' Monument." The city newspapers of the day claimed that the members of the association surpass- ed their previous performances. The play, by request, was re- peated the next evening. The Programme of " The Honey- moon," was thought worthy, by the committee, of a place in the Corner Stone of the Monument.

As an act of justice to the ladies and gentlemen composing the "Amateur Dramatic Association," of this city, as the pro- ceeds of ALL their entertainments, were devoted to charitable

In the winter of 1876, some of the scholars of the Mount Ver- non High School, formed "The Pi Delta Psi Society," and held weekly meetings. On the evening of May 26, 1876, the So- ciety gave a Grand Dramatic Entertainment at Kirk Hall. The entertainment was highly appreciated by a large and intelligent audience. The Programme was an excellent one. Among the performers were Charles M. Pepper, Samuel R. Gotshall, Flora Stephens, Emma Shaw, Ella Shaw, Charles \V. Doty, Sue Miller, 3Iay Snook, Kate E. Swetland, Jessie White, A. \Vm. Marsh, Harrie ]Martin, Louis Lane, Frank Harper, Clara McFarland, Jennie Chapman, Mary Sapp.

June 28, 1876, the scholars of " Saint Vincent De Paul's Pauochial School," of this city, gave a delightful entertain- ment at Kirk Hall. The only drawback to the Programme was its extreme length, which must have been fotiguing to the 3'outhful performers, ranging in age from seven years to fourteen.

THE MYSTEKY OF PERFUME.

lo

one has yet been able to analyze or demonstrate the assen- ^ tial action of perfume. Gas can be weiglied, but no scents. The smallest known creatures - the very monads of life - can be caught by a microscope lens and made to deliver up the se- crets of their organization ; but what is it that emanates from the pouch of the musk-deer that fills a whole space for years and years with its penetrating odor - an odor that an illimitable num- ber of extraneous substances can carry on without diminishing either its size or weight - and what is that the warm summer air brings to us from the flowers, no man' has yet been able to deter- mine. So fine, so subtle, so imponderable, it has eluded both our most delicate weights and measures and our strongest lenses. If we come to the essence of each odor, we should have made an enormous stride forward, both in hygiene and in chemistry, and none would profit more than the medical profession, if it could be as conclusively demonstrated that such an odor proceeded from such an such a cause, as we already know of sulphur, sul- phurate hydrogen, ammonia, and the like.

When Tamberlik, the famous tenor, was once in the vicini- ty of Vera Cruz, he was captured by Mexican brigands, together with $40,000 which he had upon his person. Learning who he was, they persuaded him to sing for them, and were so mu:;h pleased with his performance that they restored his money and his liberty, and also give him $2000 for the pleasure he had con- ferred.

THE LEADING FAMILY NEWSPAPER.

lT^UNBI^RY i>< situated on the Cleveland, Mount Vernon and ^J~^ Colunilms Riilroad, - centrally located, and with a rapid- ly jiTowinu' i)()i)uhiti<)n.

" The SPECTATOR is the only paper published in the town, and is a <>-eneral household favorite. The career of this paper during the few years of its history, marks the success which seldom fails, when industry, perseverance, able and faithful management are united in conducting a newspaper. The SPECTATOR is a seven column folio, published every Tluirsday, and is in all re- spects a first class Journal. Nothing is admitted into its Ed itorial or News columns, that can offend the most fastidious sentiments or taste. Thus it is essentially a FAMILY NEWSPAPER. Its ^Market Reports ai-e carefully prepared and corrected weekly. " Indepcndmi in all things but Neutral in nothing." Its opinions upon public topics are as freely and explicitly declared as they are carefully considered and adopted. Thus its influence upon public affairs is deep and strong. There are few country Journals which can present such a record, and it is one that will be accor- ded l)y all its patrons without hesitation. Its local columns are eiiuaiied by few ; besides giving all the available news in its own quarters, it also has Correspondents in all the larger places around it. Its Editorials are all on the latest subjects, exposing all ras- cality, either at home or abroad, and are given with the best of its aiiility, no matter whom it praises, flatters or injures.

II weekly contains all Congressional News, besides News from the West, the East, the South, the North, from Washington, and IVoiii Foreign Lands, and one copy contains as much reading matter as any two papers published in the county. In all its items it publishes only what is truthful and reliable, making it the i)ai)er that the parent may, without fear, place before his family.

gifj an gidtjertlfjinu llli^dium,

The SPECTATOR cannot be excelled in the district wherein it circulates. B^" Sample copies will be sent upon receipt of request. °®a

WHITE'S MOUNT VERNON DIRECTORY.

A NOBLE PHYSICIAN.

ISHOP BEDELL, in an Address to a graduatino: medical class, dwells u[)on the influence of conscientiousness in a Physician, He gives the following interesting anecdote as an illustration of what he means by that moral quality:

" I was very ill in Chamounix, under the shadow of Mont Blanc. Those grand ice pinnacles, that majestic dome of snow, those slow-creeping glaciers, that brawling Arve, give to the valley - itself 4,000 feet above the sea level - an atmosphere which invalids resort to for health, and strong men for the lux- ury of breathing in. Men are not expected to be ill there.

" So there was no physician resident nearer than Geneva, - a long day's journey. But a physician had taken a house at Cha- mounix for the summer, waiting with his family until a lucra- tive situation, for which he had applied, should be open to him. He was in daily expectation of being summoned to his new home, when he was summoned to my bedside.

" He found a case of typhus fever. He watched and nursed n^e like a brother. During long weeks of semi-consciousness his presence met every moment of need. After about a month he received the welcome message that his new home was ready. He replied that he would come immediately, for his patient was re- covering.

" But his patient relapsed. Again dangerous symptoms set in. And in the midst of them came a letter indicating that great anxiety existed for his presence at his new home. He asked for a little delay, expecting to be speedily relieved ; but the symptoms were aggravated, and the disease unbroken.

" A telegram arrived, summoning him in a week. The week passed. He replied to it that his patient needed care a few days longer.

" He was not an unknown man. Trained in the Jesuit Col- lege at Turin, in the same class with Cavour, the great statesman of Italy, he devoted himself to medicine, and afterward taught it, in the medical Faculty of that city. During the Crimean war he was the head of a medical staff on the field. He had solicit- ed the position which was now open to him, and had expected it anxiously. He was a devoted Roman C'atholic, an Italian, having no ties nor any particular sympathy with an American and a Protestant.

1281155

^ " " " ^

WHITE'S MOUNT VERNON DIRECTORY. 35

" But his patient needed him. He stood between him and death. There was no one within a long day's journey to take that place. And, therefore, when the next telegram arrived, that he must come within twenty-four hours or the position would be given to another applicant, he calmly telegraphed in reply - his patient needed him. He would sacrifice the place, but not his duty.

"That was conscknttoimiess. And I write the name of Charles Dupkaz high on the scroll of my grateful recollections of noble men - Physicians."

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.

^[T is now well known tliat many substances, under certain i| combinations, will take fire of themselves, upon the princi- ] pie known as spontaneous combustion.

Cotton, saturated with linseed oil, has been known to inflame within two hours.

Canvass, painted with white lead and oil, dried, rolled, and put under cover, burned in a few hours.

An old packing sheet, smeared witli oil, took fire.

Cotton Rags, on which oil had been spilled, took fire while be- i ig delivered from a cellar.

Dirty Rags, upon which workmen have wiped oil from their hands; these, thrown into a heap, are pretty sure to heat and ignite in time.

Linseed Oil, dropped upon wool, has caused several fires.

The paint and oil room of a carriage shop burst into a flame ; cause, wood work smeared with flax seed oil.

Bituminous coal has burned spontaneously, and caused several large conflagrations.

Wool, greased for carding, ignited in a few hours.

Linen rags, in paper mills, undergoing fermentation, require careful attention.

A species of firew^orks known as " red fire," purchased on the fourth of July, and not used, subsequently ignited and set fire to the house.

A man seated himself upon an empty oil barrel, which had been standing for some time upon the side walk, exposed to the sun. Wishing to light his pipe, he struck a match upon the bar- rel, when the gas, with which it was filled, exploded, severely injuring the temporary tenant.

COUNTY AGRICDLTUKAL SOCIETY.

Records of the proceedings of the first Agricultural Fairs held in Knox County, 1 have utterly failed to unearth, - not even the preliminary steps taken to effect an organization can be obtained at this date. This should not be the case, and I trust that all fu- ture officers of this important county Association, and more particularly the Secretaries, will see that a foir and impartial re- cord of every transaction of the Society is placed upon the pro- per minute book.

The first Knox County Fair that I have any recollection of, was held, I believe, in 1852 or 1858. The display made was no- thing to brag of. The Court Room of the Court House, then standing on the north-west quarter of the Public Square, was made use of for an Art Hall. Mr. A. Ban, Norton took promi- nent part in its management - either as its President or Secretary, The officers of the Society for 187G, are : President - Alexander Cassil, Vice President - Peres Critchfleld. Secretary - Willard S. Hyde. Treasurer - Ira M. McFarland.

Board of Directors - Clinton Township, two members. Other Townships, one each. Fair, 1876, - September 2Gth, 27th, 28th, and 29tli,

JAMES M. ANDREWS,

RESPECTFULLY informs his friends, and the public general- ly, that he is still in the trade, and has been, without inter- mission, since he first opened, April 1, 1853. The rapidity with which his trade has increased, within the few past years, com- pells him to enlarge his place of business, to accommodate this increase of trade. He has just erected a large three story brick block, one doors south of his old stand, where he will be happy to meet all his old customers, and as many new ones as may be disposed to extend to him their patronage. Give him a call.

OxE evening, during i:>erformances on the Organ of the Catho- lic Cathedral in Boston, a mouse, evidently drawn from his re- treat by the mellow sounds, ran in front of the white linen which hangs on the inside of the sanctuary railing. Slowly sitting back on his haunches, he remained motionless as a statue, seemingly conscious of nothing except the rich, soft tones. Suddenly the organist made a change, and sharp, quick notes succeeded the gentle ones, and the little listener, with frightened air, quickly scampered away.

EMPflASIS.

SO^NIE years n^o there was a student at the Theological Sem- inary at Andover, who had an excellent opinion of his own talents. On one occasion lie asked the professor who ^ taught elocution at the time, " What do I specially need to learn in this department ?" " You ought first to learn to read," said the professor. " Oh, I can read now," replied the student. The professor handed the young man a Testament, and pointing to the twenty-fifth verse of the twenty-fourth chapter of Luke's gospel, he asked him to read that. The student read, " Then he s.iicl unto theai, O fo^l^^ an I slow of hsart to b?li?ve all ths pro- phet? have spoken." "Ah," said the professor, "they were fools for believing the prophets, were they?" Of course that was not right, and so the young man tried again. " O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken." "The prophets, then, were sometimes liars?" asked the i^rofes- sor. No : " O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken." " According to this reading," the pro- fessor suggested, " the prophets were notorious liars." This was not a satisfactory conclusion, and so another trial was made. " O, fools and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have .y)oken.'''' "I see now," said the professor, " the prophets wrote tlie truth, but they spoke lies." This last criticism discouraged the student, and he acknowledged that he did not know how to read. The difficulty lies in the fact that the words "slow of heart to believe " applies to the whole of the latter part of the sentence, and emphasis on any particular word entirely destroys the meaning.

THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS.

T the first and second elections (1788 and 1792) all the elec- tors appointed voted for Washington, who was the only President ever chosen by an unanimous vote. At the third r^ V election (179(>) 189 electors were appointed, 71 of whom vo- "^ ted fin- John Adams and 68 of whom voted for Thomas Jef- ferson - electing Adams by a majority of only ttvo votes. The j electors did not divide by States or " colleges," as is shown by j these ficts : The people in North Carolina appointed 12 electors ; 11 of them votedVor Jefferson and 1 for Adams. In Virginia 21 i electors were appointed: 20 voted for Jefferson and 1 for Adams, j Of the I I electors appointed in Maryland, 4 voted for Jefferson I and 7 for Adams. Of the io appointed in Pennsylvania, 14 vo- ted for Jefferson and 1 for Adams.

At the fourth election (1800) occurred the fiimous contest be- I t ween Jeff ..^rson and Burr, each of whom received 78 votes, given by electors appointed in nine States. The 12 electors of New York, tlie 21 of Virginia, the 4 of Kentucky, the 3 of Tennessee, the 8 of South Carolina, and the 4 of Georgia, all voted solidly for bo(/i, intending that one should be President and the other Vice President, but not expressing any choice between them. The 15 electors of Pennsylvania gave to each of them 8 votes, and 7 oth- ; ers each to Mr. Adams and Mr. Pincknsy. The 10 electors of I ^Nlaryhuul divided equally between Jefferson and Burr, and also equally l)etween Adams' and Pinckney. The North Carolina electors were siniilarly divided. I

The 12th amendment of the Constitution was an outcome of that memorable contest, requiring the electors to vote separately fv)r President and Vice President. Under that amendment only one election took place, prior to Van Buren, in which the elect- ors of one or more States were not divided in their choice accor- ding to personal preferences, as the following memoranda will show :

Fifth election (1804). Of the 1 1 electors of Maryland, 9 voted for Jefferson and 2 for C. C. Pinckney.

for H. Clay. Of the 3 of Delaware, 1 voted for Adams and 2 for Crawford. "^ Of the 11 of Maryland, 7 voted for Jackson, 3 for Adams, and 1 for Crawford. "^Of the o of Louisiana, 3 voted for Jackson and 2 for Adams. Of the 3 of Illinois, 2 voted for Jack- son and 1 for Adams. The votes for Vice President were simi- larlv given according to the preferences of the electors.

Eleventh election (1828). Of the 9 electors of Maine, 1 voted for Jackson and 8 for Adams. Of the 3(i of New York, 20 voted for Jackson and 16 for Adams. Of the 11 of Maryland, 5 voted for Jackson and 0 for Adams. There were similar divisions for Vice President.

Twelfth election (1832). The college of Maryland was divided between Jackson and Clay. No divisions in electoral colleges since 1832 until 1872. The\leath of Horace Greeley left the elec- tors chosen in his interest free. They voted as their preferences dictated.

OUR COAST LINES.

fEW persons not familiar with geography will believe that the Pacific ocean boundary of the United States has a great- er extent of coast line than the Atlantic shore. The aggre- gate of our shore line on the Pacific is 12,734 miles, whilst -J on the Atlantic it is II ,860 miles, and on the Gulf of Mexico 6843 miles. California contains 1 136 miles of the coast line on the Pacific, whilst she has also 272 miles of island shore and 240 miles of tide water river shore, making altogether 1648 miles of shore line. Texas has an actual coast line on the Gulf of 12i)9 miles, whilst Florida has 1144 miles on the Gulf, and 363 on the Atlan- tic, so that both exceed California in this particujar. It is the annexation of Alaska that has promoted the Pacific coast to a higher figure than the Atlantic, Alaska having 9830 miles of caast line. These figures are from the Coast Survey Reports.

APPARENT AND MEAN TIME.

Time is both apparent and mean. The sun is on the meridian at 12 o'clock on four days only in the year. It is sometimes as much as 16', minutes before or after twelve when its shadow strikes the noon-mark on the sun-dial. This is occasioned by the irregular motion of the earth on its axis and the inclination of its poles. This is called apparent time. Mean time is de- termined by the equitation of these irregularities for every day in the year.

Anaximaxder, a philosopher, born at Miletus, Greece, b. c. 610, was the first to delineate the surface of the earth, and mark the divisions of land and water upon an artificial globe.

xiy. .

WILLIAM FQRDNEY.

Mr. William Fordnp:y, of the Fifth Ward, although not strictly coming under the head of " Three Score and Ten," as to age, y'et his long residence in Mount Vernon justly entitles him to a place with those more venerable in age. For forty-two years this city has been his abiding place, forty-one of those forty-two years have been spent in his present home, on upper Mulberry street. For the first years of his residence here, it was not unus- ual for him to stand in the back door of his house of a morning and shoot enough rabbits for breakfast and dinner, for between Mulberry street and the Sandusky road was a dense forest of trees and hazel bushes, the latter so closely packed as to prevent the passage of any thing larger than the smaller wild animals then so numerous. If appetite demanded a change of flesh for food, jNIr. Fordney had only to change position and go east, for between Mulberry and Main street, was another forest, abounding with squirrels, many of whom fell victims to his gun. Mount Vernon in 1834, although at that date quite a thriving town, and Mount Vernon in 1876, so far as permanent improvements are concerned, none but the earlier settlers have a correct idea of the vast contrast between the two periods named. Mr. Fordney was born in the town of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, on the 2 1st day of January, 1812. In 1833 he married Miss Ann Barber Nagle, also of Lancaster, Penn. On the 28th day of November, 1834, he and his wife cast their lot with the people of this city. Mrs. Fordney died in this city on the 5th day of June, 1859. To them were born eight children, five of whom are still living.

XV.

IIUSSELL T. CRANDALL.

Mr. Russell T. Crandall, of the Fifth Ward, wa^i born in the town of Burlington, Unadilla county. New York, on the 5th of January, 1802. Mr. Orandall came to Knox county, Ohio, in the year 182!). In the spring of 1876, Mr. C. was elected asses- sor for the Fifth Ward.

XVI.

NANCY HALL.

Mrs. Nancy Hall, of the Second W^ard, was born .lanuary 1, 1798, in Shenendoah county, Virginia, near Aspey Ferry. She came to Mount Vernon in 1872.

XVII.

MARY CARTER.

Mrs. Mary Carter, of the Fifth W^ard, w^as born in (xeorge- town, (now a part of the District of Columbia,) June 22, 1805. Mrs. Carter came to Knox county, Ohio, in 1840;

Mrs. .Tank iri:NK(;AX, nee Miss Jaiu' Miaw, of (he 'lliird Ward, was honi «m the Kith day of March, IH(M, in Sixsidc, near Carroll lliil, Parish of Old Monl<land, Lanarkshire,

Sfotlaiid. On tiu' (hiy of , IS - , slic inarriod

Mr. William i Icncj^^an, of the Parish of Kiliniackshalt^an, coun- ty of Sli^n), Ireland. IMr. II. was horn on tlie -Ith <lay of Feb- ruary, lso;{, and died at Keokuk, Iowa, on the ITth day of Au- U'ust, IS7(I. Mr. and Mrs. II., with their family, came to Mount N'ernon in Is").'!.

The suhject of this brief sketch, with her husband and family, left (ilas^ow, Scotland, Sejjteniber l(i, ist!* - Liverpool, I'^n^dand, September IS, and arrived at New Orleans, V. S. A., on the 2(ith day of December followin^^, thus the voyajje, between the port of departure, and the port of dis-embarkation, aj»pears to have been tliirteen Weeks and four days in duration. To vary the interest, and to add to the i»erils of thosi' " who oo down to the sea in ships," we find that the vessel, upon whose deck the lives :.nd fortunes of our hardy emi<i:rants were placed, Mas castaway in a storm, and thrown upon the sliores of an island now called Concon, situated near the barren coast of Yucatan, South America. The i)assen^'ers and crew were detained twen- ty-ei^ht days upon that desert island.

l>urin^ their forced residence upon tlie island, the ])assen^('rs and crew, imitatinj^ the people of the country in which most of them were seeking a new home, orj^anized a ^jovernjiient and made laws for their own i)rotection, and unanimously elected Mr. William Ilene^an the first (fovernor of the State of Concon, South America. The neces.sity of this organization was soon api)arent.

The island of Concon, for its favorable and safe harbors, was one of the favorite rende/Aous of the jtiratical vessels making those water-i their cruising grounds. One of those sea rovers passing the island, the ca})tain seeing the wrecked ship of our em- igrants, determined to take i)ossession, rob it of all the rigging and stores left upon it, (the passengers and crew, while waitihg for rescue, living in tents \\\Hn\ the shore.)

To allay suspicion, the i)irates also landed, and ])itched their tents a short distance from those of our shi]>wrecke(l friends, as though they wished to rest awhile from their l)loody and mur- derous career. ()ne of the crew of the wrecked ship, wan- ; dering over the island one day, being aweary from his long and ' dirticult tramp, threw himself down l)ehind some rocks, and fell I asleep. How long he had remained in that unconscious state Jie ' knew not. He was finally awakened, by hearing voices in con- j versation, apparently, immediately above him. Listening for | awhile, he gathered enough of their conversation, to convince him that the voices i)elonged to some of the crew of the i)irati- cal vessel, and that the rascals were detailing to themselves their i)lans for attacking the unfortunate voyagers and sacking

142 WHITE'S MOUNT VERNON DIRECTORY

the wrecked vessel. After the departure of the loquacious pi- rates, the sailor made his way to his own camp, and detailed the plot of the pirates to Governor Henegan.

After a consultation with his Council, the Governor formed his

plans of retaliation, which were to capture the pirate vessel, and

put to sea with his little colony. This was "carrying the war

into Africa," with a vengeance, yet, under the circumstances,

I was perfectly justifiable.

I The Governor's plans were well laid, and would have been ' successfully carried out, had not one of the passengers betrayed j the Governor's plans to the pirate chief. The pirates immediate- i ]y struck their tents, and began their retreat to their boats, and I thence to their vessel. In the melee that insued, the pirate cap- i tain was wounded so severely, as to compel his crew to take him I upon their shoulders. In this condition, with their helpless cap- i tain, the pirates reached their boats and made for their vessel. I AVhen upon her deck, they hoisted their sails, and put out to sea, I leaving our shipwrecked friends in possession of their diminu- I tive Republic, and like Alexander Selkirk, they could say - I " We are inonarohs of all we survey,

1 Our rii^hts there are none to dispute."

i Mrs. Henegan is now residing with her son John, on cast

I High Street, the only survivor of nine children.

] Of Mr. William Henegan, permit me to say a few words. Mr.

I H. commenced Rail Roading at the age of 18, and so continued

up to the time of his death, in 1870. He was Superintendent of

I C,)astruf^tkon over mvny Railroads, both in Scotland and in

: England, and acted in that capacity Ibr the first Railroad ever

i built. In the construction of the Cleveland, iSIt. Vernon and

I Columbus R. R., Mr. H. took an active part, and his labors at

that time were highly appreciated. The road was then known

as the Springfield, ^li. Vernon & Pittsburgh R. R. Hard times

came, and the work on the road was suspended. Nearly three

and twentv y(^>rs pissed ere the work on the road, under the

; new organization, was resumed. Under the auspices of the new

Company, his son John completed laying the track, between

Sunbury and Kinderhook, the job his father had commenced

twenty-three years previous.

JAMES HUTCHINSON.

Mr. Ja:me> Hutchixsox, of the First Ward, iilthougli only a few months past his 67tli birth day, is one among tlie tew old citizens of our city, and has been a resident for over fifty-six years. Mr. Hutchinson was born near Baltimore, Maryland, on the Kith day of August, 1809. His parents came to Mount Ver- non in the*^ month of October, 182(1. On the 13th day of July, 1830, he married Miss Sarah Stahl, of this city.

In 1837, Mr. H. erected the large brick dwelling, (now owned and occupied by Mrs. Abbott,) near the corner of Gay and Front streets, and resided there for many years. In 1850 he built his present large and commodious brick residence, south east corner of Gay and Gambler streets, and in 1873, erected his store, a fine three story brick, on south INEain street.

Mr. H. informs me, that in 1820, there were only seven brick houses in the town, and of those seven, three only now remain to mark the past. The building on the north east corner of ^Mulberry and Vine streets, now occupied by Matthias Kelly, Grocer, is one ; another is the old Fifth Ward School House and Masonic Hall, on north Mulberry street ; the thirfl has been so improved and modernized that its past apiiearance is but scarcely recalled to mind even by but a comj)arativcly few of the oldest residents, and to others its very existence is' forgotten. At that time, what is now Mr. Joseph M. Byers' pleasant residence, north west corner of Giv and Vine streets, was but a small one story brick building, built upon the east end of the lot. That old building is yet there, and still it is not there, for the modern improve- ments have completely hidden it from view. At that time, this little brick was occupied by William Vore, a teamster. About the year 1825, Vore picked"^ up and brought home a young lad nanied Lewis, whose father had been recently hung in Pitts- burgh, for mail and other robberies, committed in the mountains. One day Mr. Vore returned home from hunting wild pigeons and other g'ame. Thoughtlessly he left his gun standing in the chim- ney corner, without first examining to ascertain whether the load ha(l been discharged. The Lewis lad picked up the gun and went into the yard to play soldier. While thus engaged, Joseph Glaze, the little son of a neighbor, who lived in a log house on thelot on east Vine street, now known as the Dr. Officer lot, cams to Mr. Vore's for a bucket of water. Young Lewis, pointing the gun at Joseph, told him he was going to shoot him, pulled the trigger - the gun went off, lodging twenty-five shot in poor Joseph's breast. Joseph started for home, and when about half-way between Vore's and his father's house, fell dead in the road. His body was picked uj) by his sister Elizabeth, and car- ried into his father's house. Miss Elizabeth Glaze afterwards married, and became the mother of Anson Sprague, of this city.

Another incident of Mr. Hutchinson's boj'ish days, is ever fresh in his memory. In 1827 Mr, H, and his young companions were keeping Hallow-E'en in the usual fashion ; (my readers all

On the north west corner of Vino and Mulberry streets stood a hewed lo^'' house, oceupicd hy tlu' faiuily of (jieo"r<i(' l^owc, one of tlio iuiiiatcs Ix'iii^- Jaiiics Lowe, a bachelor brother of (ieor-^e.
