Fairfield Township

Fairfield Township

East Fairfield. - Dr. Sylvan us Fisher began the practice of medicine in East Fairfield in 1826, and pursued it about seventeen years. He taught the healing art to a large number of young men, who came as students to his office. About the year 1845 he removed to Iowa, where he died. He was a man of strong sympathies, and gained an extensive practice without reaping corresponding wealth. The poor and the rich alike received his prompt professional aid.

Dr. Charles Kay established himself as a physician in East Fairfield in 1834, and was then a young man. He usually rode horseback, and acquired a large practice. After several years he removed to Alliance, Stark Co., leaving behind him a good name.

Dr. Ethan Allen Hole began the practice of his profession in East Fairfield in 1846, where he continued until his removal to Canfield, Ohio, in 1853. He died at that place in 1879, after' an active practice of nearly thirtythree years.

The following are at present practicing in the township : At Columbiana, Dr. George S. Metzger, who was born in York Co., Pa., in 1815, graduated at the Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, and began the exercise of his profession in Columbiana in 1836. He married Margery Nichols of that place in the following year. As a physician and surgeon he has been active, with but little intermission, for nearly forty-four years, and formerly extended his rides into Western Pennsylvania. He has one son and two daughters, all married.

Dr. Daniel Deemer settled as a physician in Columbiana some time between the years 1846 and 1850. He is a liberal or "new school'' physician, and one of the first of that school who practiced in the county. He served in the position of county treasurer in 1864-65.

Dr. John Metzger, born in York Co., Pa., graduated at the Baltimore Medical College, Md., and began his professional career at Columbiana in 1853.

Township No. 12, range 2, in the county of Columbiana, has been known by the above name - " Fairfield" - since its organization, in 1805. It is on the northern border of the county, and has for its boundaries Beaver township on the north, Unity on the east, Elk Run on the south, and Salem on the west. The surface is level in the northeast, undulating in the central part, and moderately hilly in the southern part, nearly the entire area being susceptible of cultivation. It was originally covered with heavy forests, composed chiefly of the hard-woods, and a considerable proportion is yet timber-land. The greater part is underlaid with a good quality of coal, the veins of which have been partially developed in the southern and western parts of the township. In the latter section are deposits of ironore. Building-stone and potters' clay are also found in the township.

The soil is productive, but is of various kinds, - black loam, heavy clay, and light clay, with more or less of sand or gravel, being often on the same section, - and generally is of easy cultivation. In the southeast it is especially adapted to fruit culture, and in other localities to the growth of grass and grain. Farming is the chief industry of the people of the township.

Fairfield has no large streams, but is well watered by a number of brooks that rise near the centre of the township, some of which flow northerly, others southerly. But little difficulty is experienced in obtaining water for domestic purposes ; and in the northern part of the township artesianwells, sunk to a moderate depth, yield copious streams of pure water.

Pioneer Settlers

Many changes have taken place in the population of the township, and but little can be learned concerning the early settlers of Fairfield, except from the meagre recollections of their few remaining descendants. Most of the early settlers came from Pennsylvania or Virginia, and, with few exceptions, had sufficient means to begin their new life comfortably, nor did they long endure the isolation of their new home in a forest country. The immigration was so great that within a few years every section of land was occupied by actual settlers. Some sections were subdivided into lots containing not more than 20 acres, upon which cabins were put up by the pioneers, rude and uncomfortable, but giving their occupants a sense of ownership and a feeling of independence.

It is probable that Mathias Lower was the first permanent settler in the township. He was a native of Maryland, but came from Westmoreland Co., Pa., in 1800, and " squatted" in the valley of Bull Creek before the land was surveyed. After the lines were run he found that the location did not suit him. He then united with Wil- liam Ileald in purchasing section 23, the northern part of which became his. Here he began improvements, which may have been of considerable extent, as early as 1803, for in the fall of that year the first Court of Common Pleas for the county was held in his log barn. There being no separate room to which the jury might repair to make up their verdict, a large log in the woods near by was used as a seat while they deliberated the momentous question of the guilt or innocence of the individual on trial.

This farm is at present occupied by Jacob, a grandson of Mathias Lower. Of a large family of children which Mathias Lower had, there is but one surviving member, - Emanuel, who lives on a part of the original purchase.

In 1801, and the few years ensuing, a large settlement of Friends was founded in the southeastern part of the tow'nship. Most of these came from Bucks and Chester Counties, in Pennsylvania. Prominent among them was William Heald, a surveyor, under whose direction the greater part of the county was subsequently surveyed. With his family of five children, he settled on section 26, and lived in the county more than sixty years, being active in his profession until about 1850. In his old age he removed to Cedar County, Iowa, where he died June 4, 1867, at the unusual age of one hundred years, eight months, and twenty-eight days. Two of his brothers, John and Nathan, came with him, and settled in Fairfield. The former had a family of eight children, and lived in the northern part of section 25 ; the latter found a home on section 22, but soon after removed to Elk Run.

In 1801, also came Samuel Oliphant, and settled on the northeastern part of section 27. The third member of his family of six children married the Hon. Richard Beeson, of Unity, in 1804, and lived to become almost a centenarian, living until a short time ago - now 1879 - with her son Maldon. Samuel Oliphant removed in bis old age to the residence of his son Ephraim, and died there.

William Ferrall came from Campbell Co., Va., in 1801, and settled on section 22. His sons by his first wife were James and William ; by his second wife, John, Jonathan, Benjamin, and Edward. Some of the latter yet live in the township, and the original purchase is yet occupied by their descendants.

John James was in the party that accompanied William Ferrall from Virginia, and settled near him and reared a large family. The same year Isaac James became a resident of section 35. He had eight children, and some of the sons afterwards built a saw-mill in that locality.

Joseph Bradfield was another Virginian who came at that early period. He settled on section 36, on the homestead now occupied by a grandson. He had three sons, - Thomas, who removed to the western part of the State,

John, and William. Aaron, son of William, is a resident of Middleton township, and John lives near East Fairfield, on the eastern part of section 36.

John Crozer, the first justice of the peace, settled in the same year, and lived at East Fairfield until his death, at an advanced age. He had three sons, - James, Thomas, and John.

West of Mr. Crozer, on the New Lisbon road, Abel Lodge was an early and prominent settler. He afterwards moved to East Fairfield, where he became widely known as an innkeeper. In the same locality John Aldoefer settled early.

Near Middleton, Henry Dixson owned a tract of land upon which settled his sons-in-law, John Woods and John Cope; and in the same neighborhood, John Allman lived as early as 1802. His death occurred in 1811, and was one of the first deaths among the adults of the township.

A few years later Joab Pritchett settled on the same section, No. 25, and lived there until his death, in 1851. He came from New Jersey, and had then a son, John, who lives in Wayne County. A son born in Fairfield, Joseph, is now a citizen of Middleton.

In 1806, James Boulton became a resident of Fairfield, and his son Levi, who was at that time ten years old, is yet a citizen of the village. James Boulton died in 1837, from injuries received by being thrown from his wagon.

Sketch Of Ephraim Holloway, Sr., And Family

Ephraim Holloway, Sr., one of the early settlers of the county, was born in New Jersey. When but a small boy he moved with his father, John Holloway, to Culpeper Co., Va., where the father resided until his death. Ephraim married Miss Susanna Garwood, of Culpeper Co., Va., but who was also a native of New Jersey. In 1801 he moved with bis family, then consisting of his wife and two daughters, to Columbiana County, locating on the northwest quarter of section 36, in Salem township, which he improved, and where he resided until his death ; he died in 1845, at the advanced age of sixty-eight years. His widow resided in Columbiana and Mahoning Counties until 1866, at which time she died in Green township, Mahoning County, at the advanced age of eighty-nine years. There were born to them twelve children, as follows: Susanna, Mary, Margaret, John, Isaiah, Sarah,

Ephraim, Isaac, Jacob, David, Dayton, and Eliza. The three last named died quite young. Susanna married James Caldwell and located in Elk Run township ; afterwards moved to Fairfield township, where her husband still lives, she having died in 1871. Mary married Benjamin Underwood, and after a few years spent in this county moved to Union County, and later to Michigan. Margaret married Philip Miller, and moved to Union County, where she still resides. John married Miss Lydia Dixson, daughter of John and granddaughter of Joshua Dixson, of Fairfield township. Soon after marriage they located two miles east of the village of Columbiana, where they resided until separated by the death of the wife on the 3d day of May, 1843, he continuing in the old homestead for nearly two years afterwards. In 1844 lie married Miss Rebecca Seachrist, and in 1845 purchased and moved on to what was known as the "John Dixson farm," one-half mile north of the village of Columbiana, which is still owned by his heirs, having remained in the possession of the family from its original purchase from the United States government by Joshua Dixson to the present, passing down to the fifth generation. They raised a family of eleven children, six by the first and five by the second wife, as follows: Leonard D., Ephraim S., Lucena, Eliza Ann, John Dixson, and Lydia A., by the first wife, and Susanna, Lot, Amanda, George, and Park by the second wife. Lucena died in February, 1877 ; the others are still living. The father died August 22, 1874, in the sixty-eighth year of his age.

Isaiah married Miss Catharine Hardman, and moved to the State of Illinois. Sarah married John Waynee, and located in Hanover township. Ephraim married Miss Mary Ann Caldwell, located in Elk Run township, and afterwards moved to Centre township, where he died in 1875. Isaac married Miss Charlotte Caldwell, who died soon after their marriage. A few years later he married Miss Mary Lodge. They are now living in Green township, Mahoning County. Jacob married Elizabeth Williard, of New Lisbon, and both are still living in the county. The family were not members of any religious denomination, but were descendants of Quakers and always adhered to the Quaker faith.

Among the most prominent and active of the early settlers of Fairfield township were Joshua Dixson and Dinah his wife, who moved to the township from Fayette Co., Pa., in 1802. He was born Oct. 20, 1750. His wife was born Feb. 28, 1760. They located sections 3 and 4, built their cabin on section 4, and a few years later erected a brick dwelling, - the first brick structure erected within the territory now embraced within the corporate limits of Columbiana, - which is still standing and used as a residence. In the organization of the township in 1805 he took a prominent part, and on the 21st day of August of that year laid out the village of Columbiana, having the plat acknowledged before Lewis King, a justice of the peace, and on the 22d day of the same month the plat was recorded in the recorder's office in New Lisbon, in Book A, page 11.

Soon after their arrival in the township several of their children married and located in the county, and became prominent citizens of their respective localities. Their memories are cherished by many still living. John married M iss Hannah Beall and located on a part of section 4, - on the farm now owned by his grandchildren, the heirs of John Holloway, deceased, - where he resided until his death, which occurred in 1840. He was a civil engineer, and for many years did a large portion of the surveying in the northern and eastern part of the county. Rachel became the wife of Benjamin Hanna, and soon afterwards located in Centre township, near New Lisbon, where they resided until death. Each died at an advanced age. Elizabeth married Samuel Townsand and located in New Lisbon, where she resided until her death. Rebecca married George Copeland, and located in Fairfield township, where they improved two farms of 160 acres each. They resided for many years on their farm east of Columbiana, and about fourteen years ago moved into the village, where Mrs. Copeland died in April, 1873. Her husband, who was born on the same day of the month, same month and year, with herself, is still living, and is in his eighty-ninth year. Joshua, Nathan, and Thomas all married and located in the county, where they resided until their death, each dying at an advanced age. Lydia married a Mr. Stewart, and left the county soon after marriage.

Joshua Dixson and family, down to the second generation, were members of the Friends' church. He and the older members of his family took an active part "in the organization of the first Quaker church in the county.

Other Early Settlers

In 1804, Joshua and Joseph Wood settled on section 13, and were from Western Pennsylvania. About that time George and Jacob McGregory found homes in the same neighborhood. In 1806, Jacob Hum and his sons John, David, and Jacob located on section 14. Jacob was six months old, and yet lives in Columbiana. Two other sons, George and Adam, were born in the township. On the same section William Kimball and John Job were early settlers.

On section 15, Charles Fitzpatrick was a pioneer settler. His son John is a citizen of Columbiana. On the same section, south part, John Windle located in 1807, and lived there until his death, in 1857. A son, Augustine, now living ou the section, and two daughters, constituted his family.

Michael Fox lived on section 16 as early as 1804, and at his residence was held the first township-meeting. The place is now the property of J. Kyser.

Peter and William Bushong were pioneer settlers on section 10 before 1807. In the same locality were Thomas Dillon and Michael Coxen. The latter is credited with making the first bricks that were used in the township.

In the northeastern part of Fairfield, Nicholas Firestone, a native of Virginia, settled in 1801. His sons by his first wife were Peter, John, and Henry. At a somewhat later day Jacob Unger became a settler in this section, but removed to Unity.

Robert Hanna and wife,, with a family of nine children, located on section 10, building their log cabin on the southeast quarter of said section, near where the residence recently occupied by James Caldwell now stands. Benjamin Hanna, the second of their children, located and made the first improvement on the farm now owned by Mr. Poulton in 1803, where he resided until 1810, at which time he sold, and purchased of Joshua Dixson the southwest quarter of section 3, which has been known in late years as the Allen farm, a part of which is now within the corporate limits of Columbiana. This he sold a few years later to Jacob Seachrist, and located just north of New Lisbon.

Joshua Dixson and wife, with a family of eleven children, located on section 4. He erected his cabin near where Mrs. Daniel A. Stouffer now lives, and afterwards built a part of the residence now occupied by Mrs. Stouffer, in which he resided until his death. He purchased section 3 from the United States government at the same time that he purchased section 4.

One of the first marriages in the township was that of Benjamin Hanna and Rachel Dixson, which was solemnized, Dec. 15, 1803, according to the customs of the Friends.*

On the 4th of July, 1804, John Michael Esterly and his family, natives of Germany, landed at Baltimore, and after a few days began their journey to the West. On the way they stopped at Allegheny City, where a son four years old was accidentally drowned. In the fall of the year they reached Fairfield, and settled on the southwest quarter of section 5. The children then were George, Jacob, Catherine, and John, who all found homes in the surrounding country. George subsequently moved to Springfield, where he reared a large family. Jacob settled in the eastern part of section 5, and reared seven sons, - John, Abraham, Isaac, George, David, Jonathan, and Jacob. John remained on the homestead and reared two sons, - Solomon and Levi. He is the only one of the three brothers surviving, and is one of the few old men of the township who came at such an early date.

On section 7, John Beeson settled about 1803, and soon after put in operation the first grist-mill in the township. In 1830 he sold his property to Jacob Nold, who had three sons, - Henry, John, and Jacob. Two of the sons of the last named - John Z. and Abraham - yet live in this neighborhood.

Hamlets And Villages

On the northern part of section 19, on the New Lisbon road, is a small hamlet of about a dozen houses, which owes its beginning to a tavern kept there about forty years ago by Col. Allen Way. On account of an excellent spring near by, his house became a favorite stopping-place, and the locality became widely known as the " Cool Springs." After a few years Col. Way platted a village and bestowed upon it the name of

Charles D. Dickinson

Charles D. Dickinson, a prominent member of the legal profession, and one of the rising lawyers of the county, is a native of the Buckeye State, having been born in Poland, Mahoning Co., Dec. 13, 1848. His father, Jacob Dickinson, was of Connecticut origin, and migrated west at an early day to better his fortunes. The grandfather of Charles D. was likewise named Jacob, and came over from Scotland to America when he was but nineteen years of age. He fought on the side of patriotism in the war of the Revolution, and was a member of American Union Lodge, No. 1, F. and A. M., organized, it is said, in Washington's army at Cambridge. The original certificate of Jacob Dickinson's membership - the MSS. somewhat faded, but still clearly legible, and bearing date at Roxbury, Mass., March 20, 1776 - is now in the possession of Charles D. Dickinson, and, as may he well apprehended, is a highly-valued document. Mr. Dickinson, whose name heads this article, lost his father by death in 1852, and then, at the age of four, accompanied his mother - her only child - from Poland to a farm a few miles east of the town of Columbiana, to which latter place he removed with his mother two years later, and there with her he has since made his home, save for a brief interval, of which more anon. He attended district school in Columbiana until the age of twelve, when he began to feel ambitious to carve out his own fortune, and became accordingly an active worker at what his hands could find to do. Thus he worked out an industrious but laborious experience until he reached his seventeenth year.

Resuming then his scholastic studies, he passed his last term as pupil, and emerged as a teacher of a district school, in which he employed himself one term, when, inclining once more towards the facts and figures of trade, he journeyed to the oil regions of the State of Pennsylvania, where he spent six years, returning to Columbiana in the year 1871.

During that year he studied law seven months in the office of Mr. George Duncan, a lawyer of local note, and so improved his opportunities that he was admitted to the bar, Aug. 28, 1872. He taught school the following winter, and in 1873 entered upon the practice of law, in 1 which he has since continued with gratifying success. Although he has barely passed the age of thirty, his standing in his chosen profession is one of which he may be proud, and in the ambitious zeal which characterizes his progress, as well as in the studious application of his life, it is not difficult to trace the foundation of a highly- prom is. ing future.

Mr. Dickinson is a staunch member of the Republican party, and, although actively participating in the political events of the day, he has never chosen to urge himself forward for political distinction. He is a member of Panora Lodge, No. 410, 1. 0. 0. F., has faithfully and satisfactorily occupied the public trusts of borough and township clerk, and, in connection with his administration of those offices, is remembered as an official of careful discipline and exceptional efficiency.

store, which he kept about seven years, and was followed in trade by John Clapsaddle. Wheelwright- and blacksmithshops were carried on by Robert Long and Wm. Sluttcr. The latter removed to Columbiana, where he became a well-known carriage-builder. At Unionville were formerly a number of shoe-shops, of which one or two yet remain, and are the only interests which have not been diverted to railroad points.
