The modern record here
1 settlementWhat the federal record holds for each settlement inside this township: wildfires and storm reports since the 1950s, mineral workings, and museum specimens collected nearby. These are counted within a few miles of each settlement, so neighbours share them and the columns are deliberately not added up. Every row links to the settlement's own page, where each figure is broken out.

The chapter
184 wordsReproduced complete and unedited. The text is machine-read from a scan of the 1902 printing, so expect the errors a machine makes reading a century-old page: misspelled names, dropped words, stray characters. Nothing has been corrected, because correcting a proper name invents one. The headings below are the book's own.
Cedarville Township
Cedars-ille township was organized on the 6th day of December, 1850. It was taken from the townships of Xenia, Ceasarscreek, Ross and Miami; it was the first township organized with very irregular boundary lines, and therefore created corresponding irregularity in the boundary lines of the townships out of which it was taken. This township has been changed but little since its first organization.
In 1848, when an effort was made to form the township of Cedarville, some citizens of Ross objected to the measure, entering a vigorous protest against it, the parties making this protest saying to the commissioners: "Our reasons we will fully set forth in your presence, only adding here that we are not wiUing to have any of our township cut off. wliicl: is ah'eady too small, to gratify the caprice or spleen of any."
The commissioners ordered a notice to be given in three different public places of an election of three trustees, a clerk and a treasurer to be held on the 21st day of December, 1850, in the town of Cedarville, at the house of John W. Walker.
