Sandusky County, Ohio - Chapter 9: Civil Government. Organization of the County Continued, 1909

County Seat

The two villages, Sandusky and Croghansville, were competitors for the location of the seat of justice of the county, and the inhabitants of each had exerted themselves with much zeal to secure the coveted honor. As before mentioned, the legislature in erecting the county fixed the seat of justice temporarily, only, at Croghansvi lle, and appointed Charles R. Sherman, Nehemiah King and Edward Payne, commissioners to fix it permanently.

During the time that Croghansville was "the seat of justice - two years - courts were heid and public business transacted at the house of Morris A. Newman, situated on what is now the northeast corner of Ohio Avenue and Pine Street, in the Third Ward of Fremont. Meanwhile the inhabitants of the town of Sandusky had, as it would seem, been more active than those of Croghansville in their efforts to secure the county seat. Grounds were offered to be donated; money, labor produce and materials, amounting to $1,800.00 were pledged by prominent persons, in the shape of a subscription, for the erection of public buildings as inducements for its location, as follows:

Subscription

We the undersigned, citizens of the county of Sandusky, do hereby bind ourselves, our heirs, executors and administrators firmly to pay, or cause to be paid. unto the commissioners of said county the following sums set opposite our names respectively, for the purpose of building a court house, etc., provided the permanent seat of justice shall be located in the village of Sandusky, the same to be paid by the first day of April, 1823.

It will be observed that of the subscribers, Cyrus Hulburd and Martin Baum were the greatest in amount pledged, each pledging $400. They were both large real estate owners in the village of Sandusky and rivals for the location of the public buildings, both having agreed to donate grounds for the site of same

Permanent Location

The commissioners to fix the permanent seat of justice, through Charles R. Sherman, chairman, at the May term, 1822, of the common 'pleas court, and on the 23rd day of May, made their report to said court permanently establishing the same at the town of Sandusky. Thereupon the common pleas court adjourned and moved over to a log schoolhouse, standing on Lot 64 as then numbered, being on or near the spot where the present old Central School Building is situated at the corner of Croghan Street and Park Avenue, where court was opened in due form in the permanent county seat. Here in this log structure courts both common pleas and supreme were continuously held for a period of about ten years, or until a regular court house building was constructed.

It is worthy of mention, here, that the commissioner, Charles R. Sheriman, was the father of Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman, and within a few months after this report was made by him was appointed a judge of the supreme court, and with Judge Burnet, on July 30, 1823, held the first term of the supreme court for Sandusky Counfy in this log house.

It is also worthy of mention that two of the commissioners appointed by the legislature, namely; Cyrus Spink and Thomas Henford, to fix the seat of justice of Seneca County, which was then within the jurisdiction of Sandusky County, at said May term, 1822, and on May 24th, made their report, selecting the town of Tiffin as such seat of justice and defining the boundaries of public grounds.

In the plat known as the "Hawkins Plat of, the Town of Sandusky" of October 27, 1817 (Plat record 4, page 75), the grounds of the present board of education, bounded by Park

Avenue west, and Garrison Street south, as now named, were dedicated for a court house site, and the grounds of the Fabing and Gusdorf homesteads on Park Avenue as now named were set apart for public office building sites - all upon the condition that the seat of justice should be established in the town of Sandusky, and to revert to the owners .in case not so used. The property thus dedicated, or offered to be dedicated, however, for some reason not now appearing, possibly some supposed defect. of title, was never occupied for court house and public office purposes.

The first recorded action of the county commissioners, with reference to building a court house, was on March 6, 1822, providing. for an extra session "for the purpose of making preparations for a court house." Giles Thompson, Moses Nicols and Morris A. Newman then composed the board ot county commissioners. Reference has been made to propositions of Martin Baum and Cyrus Hulburd to donate site. The grounds offered by Baum were as follows: For a court house, Lot 187 on Market and Main Street, now Birchard and Park Avenues, being known generally as the General Buckland homestead; for a jail and sheriff's residence, Lot 244, corner of Clover and Ewing Streets, and for a "public walk," Lot 188, corner present Birchard and Park Avenues, and being the site of. the present residence of Hon. A. H. Jackson. No part of these grounds was ever used for public, purposes. Cyrus Hulburd in his bond referred to, dated April 23, 1822, bound himself to donate Lots 161 and 162, in the village of, Sandusky, for public purposes, and Lot 64 for school purposes. Lot 161 is what is known as the David June homestead, and Lot 162 is the site of the present M. E. Church, both on Birchard and Park Avenues. He had in a bond previously executed, bound himself as follows: 'To futnish a convenient and comfortable building-for a court of common pleas to sit in until such time as the commissioners of the county shall furnish a court house, and also for the use of the supreme court all within the town of Sandusky." He-was making generous offers to secure the location of his grounds. .He was the owner, though not yet conveyed to him by deed, of River Lot No. 9, which embraced the present site of Fort Stephenson Park, and all the ground between what is now Croghan Street and Birchard Avenue, from the river to what is now Wayne Street. The "convenient and comfortable building" to be furnished in the meantime was no doubt the log schoolhouse, before mentioned, as Hulburd was its Owner at the time. April 26, 1823, plans and specifications for the proposed court house were recorded in the commissioners' journal, _and according to which the same was to be a substantial frame building 36 feet long, 24 feet wide and 20 feet high, with a good substantial stone foundation wall, to the height of two feet above ground. The roof to be of jointed shingles; two good brick chimneys with four fire-places in lower and two in upper story. The lower story to be divided into four rooms, two at each end with a passageway between, and a stairway leading to the second story, which was to be the court room. Three lower rooms were for offices, and one was originally designed for a prison, but was' never used as such. There were to be three windows in the lower story in the west side and two in the east side of the building, and four in both east and west sides of the second story, and none in the ends of the buildings. to be filled with 8 by 10 glass, twenty-four in each.

The contract for the erection of this strueture, to be finished by December rst, following, was on July 21, 1823, let to Thomas L. Hawkins for $2,450, who gave bond for the fulfillment of the contract with Cyrus Hulburd, Calvin Leezen, John W. Tyler and Daniel Brainard, Jr., sureties. The commissioners' journal discloses that he was to be paid as follows: The subscription or pledges of the $1,800.00 were to be accepted by him as part payment and the balance of $650.00 was to be paid from the county treasurer, upon the completion of the building within the time prescribed. On 'the same day the contract was let to Hawkins, he assigned and transferred the same to Cyrus Hulburd, who commenced its construction on Lot 162 donated by him, and as we have seen being the site of the present M. FE. Church. It would seem incredible, but it is historically true that this edifice was not completed for a period: of about ten years from the date of letting the contract for its construction. It remained in an unfinished condition on this lot until it seems to have become a sort of "memory" and referred to in subsequent proceedings of the county commissioners with reference to its completion and removal to other lots, in 1829, as "'the court house built by Cyrus Hulburd" and later as "the frame put up for a court house." It was never, however, finished where its erection was commenced, but after various delays and fatalities attending its construction and removal which appear upon the commissioners' journal, it was in 1830, finally, moved to Lot No. 9 and there completed in 1833. The original contract for its erection had been declared forfeited, suit on the contractor's bond had been instituted and the court had awarded damages against Hawkins and sureties in favor of the county in the sum of $1,325. Hawkins was proceeding against Hulburd on his bond, executed as assignee of Hawkins of the contract to build. Thereupon all matters between the parties were settled by the conveyance by Hulburd to the county of the following real estate in Lower Sandusky, viz: Lots 83, 84, 89 and go, which constitute now the middle one-half fronting Front and Arch of the square in the city of Fremont, bounded by Front, Croghan, Garrison and Arch Streets. The contract for moving this "frame put up for a court house" otherwise, "the court house built by Cyrus Hulburd" to Lot 9 and there completing the same was let to one Elisha Smith for the sum of $860.25 June 26, 1830, to be finished by May 31, 1831, payment of which was to be made by the conveyance to him of the lots obtained from Hulburd. The building was not completed or accepted for use until June 5, 1833, when the record shows its acceptance, and that all bonds and obligations concerning the matter of the building of the court were directed to be delivered up and cancelled, and a deed ordered to be made to Smith for the property before described in payment of $860.25, which property is now (1909) worth, exclusive of buildings thereon, not less than $75,000.

And Representative Citizens

Lot No. 9 on, which the building was completed is now No. 104, situated on the rising ground fronting the north line of Court Street near its eastern terminus. The original building has been converted into a residence, and is now the property of St. John's Lutheran Church and used as a parsonage. It was conveyed to this denomination by the commissioners of Sandusky County in 1844. (See Meek's article in Daily and Semi-weekly News, August 16 and 18 respectively, 1905, "Seats of Justice and First Court House.'') so far as the east side furnishes any evidence, is perpetuated only by the school on the hill, which is designated as "Croghansville Hill School." oo ig

By act of the legislature June 20, 1835, that part of the county as originally erected, marked on the imap in a previous chapter as "disputed by Michigan," was included within the boundaries of Lucas County, then created: .

March 15, 1838, Erie County was formed by act of the legislature and that portion of Sandusky then lying along the south shore of Sandusky Bay, bounded east by Huron County manantly located in the town of Sandusky, Croghansville and Croghan Township seemed to have waned in importance as distinct organizations and to have been gradually absorbed 'by the former. In 1827 that portion of Croghan Township embracing the village of Croghansville was annexed to Sandusky Township by action of the county commissioners.

"In :829 the territory of both villages by act of the state legislatiire was incorporated into _one village by the name of the ""Town of Lower Sandusky." The village of Croghansville became thereby extinct in name. The name, and south by the north line of Townsend Township to the northwest corner thereof was made a part of Erie County. March 6, 1840, Ottawa County was created,

'cluded within the following description: "'Commencing at a point two miles north of the southeast corner of the surveyed township Number 16 (then Bay Township) running thence west on section lines to the western boundary of the county; thence north to the

158 HISTORY Lucas County line; thence east six miles; thence north to the Michigan state line; thence with said line until it intersects the line between the British and American governments in Lake Erie; thence down the lake with said line, so that a line to the mouth of Sandusky Bay will include Kelley's Island ; thence up the Sandusky Bay to the place of beginning." first provision of the kind found among the proceedings of the county commissioners, was June 4, 1821, when the house of one John M. Plumb was hired for the use of a jail. This seems to have served the purpose until May 1, 1824, when the following proceedings appear of record:

"Ordered that the auditor obtain from Asa B. Gavit a lease of his log cabin in the village of Sandusky for a term not less than one year from this date and when so obtained to repair the same for a jail for said county provided said repairs do not exceed sixty dollars."

The Buckland Homestead

Township in Ottawa County, commencing at the southwest corner of Section 23; thence north to the northwest corner of Section 11, thence west to the Wood County line. This addition forms the north part of Woodville Township.

The First Jail

For several years after the county was organized, persons under arrest, whose confinement was required to be in a prison, were kept in houses temporarily provided as jails. The

Following this order, plans and specifications appear for floors below and above with doors, windows with iron grates and the daubing of the outside so as to make the house warm. The rent to be paid was twenty dollars per year.

On September 11, 1824, the auditor was authorized to obtain a lease for the same premises, for not less than one year, and for two years if practicable, at same rent. This building was situated near the river bank on Water Street in the rear of what is now the block at

For what length of time this building was used, as a jail, can only be conjectured - probably not all of the time until the more permanent jail building was erected, which was in 1829, for, on June 9, 1826, it appears that one Esbon Husted was allowed thirty dollars for the use of his building for a jail for six months previous; and on December 6, 1826, the auditor was authorized to rent the Husted building at two dollars per month, while the same should be occupied as a jail. It would appear that the Gavit property had become, temporarily at least, unsafe as a prison, for the commissioners' journal of September 6, 1824, shows that the then sheriff notified the county commissioners that he would not be responsible for the safe keeping of prisoners in the jail. which may account for the use of the Husted building part of the time.

The first steps toward the erection of a permanent jail were taken by the county commissioners on December 2d, 1829, as shown by their journal of that date as follows:

"Ordered that the auditor employ O. Hinton and E. W. Howland to make drafts and estimates of a jail, on the following general plan, viz: to be one story high, 36 feet by 20 feet, to be built of hewn timber * * *."

January 12, 1829, the plan for building a jail for Sandusky County," to be similar to the Delaware County jail," was approved and the auditor was directed to give notice of the letting of a contract March 2d, 1829, to be published in the Sandusky Clarion. The contract was let to E. W. Howland and completed by him according to plans and duly accepted by the county commissioners on October 12, 1820.

This jail was erected on the grounds, Lot No. 9. to which the court house was removed and completed, as before mentioned, and was the first jail building constructed as such in the county, and was so used until the brick court house and basement-jail connected with the same were built in 1814. The contract price paid for this building was $844. In it was where the murderers Sperry and Thompson were confined; where Sperry committed suicide and from which Thompson made two escapes. An account of these murders and the trial of Sperry and Thompson will be given in another chapter.

As early as 1839, movements toward the erection of a more substantial court house were inaugurated by the county commissioners, supported by petitions of the citizens of the county, as appear from their journal. An act of the legislature was procured to be passed February 4, 1839, authorizing the commissioners to borrow $15,000 for the erection of such building and a jail.

March 27, the commissioners resolved to borrow $15,000 for a term of ten years. Just how this reso:ution was carried into effect does not appear from the records; but on March 4, 1840, the journal shows the following order:

"Ordered that the commissioners borrow from the surplus revenue fund the sum of ten thousand dollars for the erection of a court house and jail."

On April 4, 1840, the site for the building was finally selected, being grounds offered to be donated by Platt Brush, Platt Brush, Jr. S. Brush and John T. Brush, who on April 6 recorded their plat and sub-division (Record M., pp. 532-3) of Outlot 8, in which the donated ground are designated as "A court house lot," which is 8 rods fronting on what is now Park Avenue (in the plat called Brush Street) and previously known as Main Street, and 10 rods along Court Street, east and west, containing one-half acre. No other grounds were donated by these parties. Court Park, situated east of Park Avenue, and all other public ground connected with the present court house and jail buildings were obtained by purchase.

Plans and specifications were prepared and proposals advertised for the erection of the buildings. June 2, 1840, the cemmissioners accepted proposals presented by Isaac Knapp, and awarded the contract to him for the completion of the work for the sum of $4,550.00, within the time in the contract specified. The court house was to be 100 feet long, 45 feet wide and wall, 25 feet high, forming two stories. The foundation to be of stone, 4 feet high above the ground. The lower story was divided by a corridor running the entire length east and west through the middle, with office rooms on the sides. The upper story was the court and jury rooms. The classic style of the architecture of the building, a style ever beautiful and still admired. is shown by the cut. The jail was constructed in the basement which was prepared for the purpose. On July 18, 1844, the county commissioners accepted the building from the contractor Isaac Knapp, as completed, and paid the balance due him on the contract in full. On August 31, 1844, on the petition of more than 300 tax payers, the additional sum of $2,000 was ordered paid the contractor Knapp to reimburse him for loss incurred by him in the construction of the court house and jail according to his contract. JAIL YARD, HOUSE AND WALL.

Between June and November 13, 1844, a gail yard, wall and what was termed a jail house was erected in the rear of the court house 'building by Edward Fitzgerald pursuant to contract with the commissioners, for $899.00.

A New Jail

derer, was confined here, for a time, before his execution. This dungeon was a damp and dismal place, more in keeping with an age of barbarism than that of a Christian civilization, and so shocked the humane sense of the public that its use as a place of confinement for prisoners was not long continued, as will appear. A NEW JAIL.

Grounds in the rear of the court house were purchased oi Sardis Birchard, on which to erect a jail building above ground, and on April 22, 1854, the contract for its erection was made with Ambrose Spencer. The price to be paid him when completed was $9,500. As the commissioners' journal shows, on june 7, 1856, the county commissioners accepted the new jail from the administrator of Spencer, who had died, and settled in full for the same according to the contract. This structure is not now in existence and specifications as to size and plans of the same are not at hand, but it included a sheriff's residence and jail yard with fairly good and modern equipments for a building for the purposes intended, anda great im- provement over the subterraneous dungeon superseded by it. The wife murderer, Radtord, was executed within the enclosure of this jail. it 18 worthy of mention that the sum of $8,000 ot the contract price paid for its construction was realized as a premium on the sale of bonds issued by the county for capital stock subscribed for, to the amount of $50,000 in The Toledo, Norwaik & Cleveland Railroad Co., in 1851, to aid in its construction, and which, under an act of the legislature, had been authorized by vote of the electors of the county in April, 1851. ADDITION TO THE COURT HOUSE.

The county commissioners having determined to enlarge the original structure by the addition of forty feet to the west end thereof similar in width, height and style to the original court house building, with rooms below and above for public offices, and jury and witness rooms, on September 16, 1870, awarded the contract for the same to Daniel L. June & Son to furnish ali the materials and labor and complete the same within the time specified in the contract for the sum of $8,900, to be paid when completed. The records, strange as may appear, give no further information as to the plans and specifications of this addition, nor the date when the same was finally completed and accepted by the county commissioners ; but it was, in fact, ready for use within the year 1871. The first floor is occupied by the county auditor, on the north, and the county treasurer on the south side of the corridor; the second floor, by the clerk of courts on south part and the sheriff's office and jury room in the north part.

THE PRESENT JAIL AND SHERIFF'S RESIDENCE was erected in 1890-92, and supplied with furniture, at a cost to the tax payers of about forty thousand dollars. It is a beautiful threestory gray stone structure, ornamented with Lake Superior red sand stone. A special act of the state legislature was passed April 6, 1889, authorizing the issue of bonds for the erection of the building to the amount of $36,000, which were accordingly issued. The architect was Mr. J. C. Johnson, and Theodore Brockman was the contractor, for the sum of $35,620, the original contract price, to which was added for extras the further sum ol

$1,053, making the total sum paid the contractor $36,673. 'Lhe superintending commitice was the three county commissioners, Geo. 1°, Walt, J. I. Wickert and Joseph Gschwindt; I. I'. Dickinson, probate judge; J. W. Worst, clerk of courts; L. Dick, sheriff, and Horace S. Buckland, the latter appointed by the judge of the common pleas court. The ground plan of the sheriff's residence is 52 x 50 feet; that of the jail proper 48x 40. There are eight separate cells in each of the first and second stories for male prisoners, and six in the third story suitably prepared for female prisoners. The corner-stone of this structure was laid with appropriate ceremonies November 6, 1890, Iex-President Rutherford B. Hayes, who had given much thought to the matter of prison reform, delivered an appropriate address. He said, among other important things, that the common jails of this country were, as a rule, a disgrace, and a school of crime. He made an earnest areument for the separation of hardened criminals from those who were comparatively innocent. Gen. R. Brinkerhoff of the State Board of Charities, whose presence was expected, was prevented by illness, wrote as follows: "I am very much interested in the improvement of our county jails, and am glad to know that the plans you have adopted are equal, and perhaps superior to all others in Ohio, * * * your jail plans will make it entirely practicable to secure absolute separation of prisoners, so as to shut off all contaminating influence." This building stands on the Public Square grounds, fronting on Croghan Street, corner of Croghan and Clover Streets.

In Journal No. 6 of the common pleas court, at page 437, October 15, 1849, the following order appears, changing the name of the town of Lower Sandusky to Fremont:

Petition To Change The

This petition came on for hearing, and the court being satisfied that said petition was signed by at least twelve land holders of said town and one hundred other citizens ; and being satisfied by proof that the public interest requires that the name of said town should be changed, and that at least three-fourths of the citizens of said town desire such change to be made, and that there is no other town or village in this state of the name of Fremont, and the petitioners having given more than thirty days' notice, published in the '""Lower Sandusky Freeman," a newspaper of general circulation in said county:

The petition was presented to the court by Rutherford B. Hayes, Esq., then a young lawyer of the village. The only remonstrance appearing against the change was one in rhyme by Judge Elijah W. Howland, a prominent citizen of the place. Howland Street on the east side is named for him.

His name deserves perpetuation for the sentiments expressed in his remonstrance - sentiments appreciated now, more than they appear to have been at the time when presented.

It seems a pity that the name of the place about which so many interesting events clustered should have been changed to one which in no way suggested or recalled any of them, however honored it may have been. The change, however, wads thought advisable in order to prevent confusion in the mail service, on account of other postoffices having the name of Sandusky, with the prefixes, Upper and Little, and one down the bay without any.

Clerks of Courts - The clerks of the courts under the constitution of 1802, were appointed by the courts for a term of seven years, but before his appointment, except pro tempore, the applicant was required to produce a certificate from a majority of the judges of the supreme court that he was well qualified to execute the duties of the office. If a vacancy occured at any time, the appointment was made pro tenipore until the proper certificate could be procured and filed. The common pleas court journal shows that the first appointment of a clerk was that of James Williams, pro fempore, on the 8th day of May, 1820, but it does not appear that he served, for, on the same day Philip R. Hopkins was appointed clerk pro tempore, gave bond and took the oath of office. At a special term of the court held February 17, 1821, by the associate judges, it appearing that the office of clerk had become vacant by the resignation of Hopkins, the court appointed Alexander Morrison, clerk pro tempore, who gave bond and qualified. At the special term, June 30, 1821, Harvey J. Harmon was appointed clerk pro tempore, the office having become vacant by the absence of Morrison, Harmon gave bond and qualified. Morrison having subsequently died, the court on August 19, 1821. appointed Jonathan H. Jerome clerk pro tempore, who accordingly qualified. He was ordered by the court to procure from the estate of Morrison all records. books, papers and property belonging to the office of clerk. Jerome resigned shortlv after his appointment and on September 15, 1821. the court appointed Jaques Hulburd clerk pro tempore, who duly qualified. Hulburd resigned, and on March 26, 1822, the court ap- pointed Charles B. Fitch clerk pro tempore and he duly qualified. May 25, 1822, Benjamin F. Drake was appointed clerk pro tempore, who duly qualified, and on September 6, 1822, Drake, having' presented the certificate of qualification required, was appointed clerk of the court for the term of seven years; he gave bond, took the oath of office and served until September, 1824, when his office became vacant by his removal.

Prosecuting Attorneys - Prior to 1833 the courts appointed prosecuting attorneys to serve during the pleasure of the court, and it was not necessary that they should be residents of the county in which they served. Their compensation for each term of court was fixed by the court, which, while the courts appointed ranged from $15.00 to $50.00 per term of court. In 1833 the office was made elective for a term two years. In 1881 the term was changed to three years. In 1906 the term was changed to two years. Jacob Parker of Richland County, was the first prosecuting attornev here, and served two years, 1820 and 1821. The register of county orders redeemed shows that order No. 1 for $15.00 was for his services for a full term of court. Parker afterwards, 1841-48, was president judge of the Eleventh Circuit.

County Auditors - Jacques Hulburd was the first auditor; the records show that he resigned September 22, 1821, and Josiah Rumery. was appointed in his place.

Sheriffs - The office of sheriff under the constitution and laws has been elective for a term of two years. It is one of dignity and importance, the sheriff being the chief conservator of the peace, with power to call out the people to assist in preserving the peace. The following is a list of the persons who have occupied the office in Sandusky County :

Probate Judge - This office was created by the constitution of 1852. Previous to then, the common pleas court had probate jurisdiction, exercised mostly by the associate judges.

Infirmary Directors - The records of names of persons who have occupied this inferior office, but one with very important functions, have been so imperfectly kept as to make it impossible to give an accurate roster as to names or dates. The following named persons, however, have filled the office about the dates given; 1850, Franklin Gale, Joseph Reed, Alvin Coles; 1851, William Hamer; 1862, James Parks; 1864, Samuel Skinner; 1865, James Huss, Theodore Clapp; 1867, Charles Clapp; 1869, C.
