PREFACE. 


It  has  been  a  custom  for  many  generations   for   Lho.^e  who 
present  a  new  work  to  the  pubHc  to  preface  it  with  some  re- 
marks in  reference  to  the  object  sought.      Our  object  in  pre- 
senting this  work  to  the  |>eople  of  Johnson  count)-  is  to  give 
them  as  complete  a  history  o(  the  count)'  as  can  be  gathered  at 
this  time,  showing  the  date  of  the  county's  organiz;ition,  who 
it  was  first  settled  by,  w  ho  are  the  Uvirig"  pioneers  ,\t  tin'.-,  date, 
the  progress  the  county  has  made  in  the  wa)'  of  manufactories 
and  agriculture,  showing  her  moral  and  educational  standing  by 
reporting  the  number  of  her  cliurches,  school  houses  and  Sab- 
bath schools  ;  also,  to  give  the  native  State,  date  of  birth,  date 
of  settlement  in  the  county,  and  post  office  address  of  the  prin- 
cipal men  in  the  county,  besides  a  bod}^  of  statistical  matter, 
making  this  work  very  valuable  as  a  reR-rence  b^n^k.      A  work 
\       of  this  kind   must  be   of  incalculable  value  to  the  young  and 
r        rising  generation,  and  v/ill  be  highly  prized  by  them  in  coming 
I       years.      There  may  be  some  mistake^  in   names  and  dates,  but 
[       we  have  used  every  precaution  to  avoid  them.     It  is,  perhaps, 
F       nearly  impossible  to  makt;   a  directory  without   mistakes  ;  yet 
?       they  will  be  found  not  to  impair  the  \aluc  of  this  work.      Strange 
as  it  ma)'  seem,  our  agi  nts  sometimes  find  men   who  rrfiise  to 
give  their  names  or  an)-  dtlter  informati(Mi,  a  few  do  not  rcmem- 
l)er  the  date  of  birth  and  settlement,  while  a  few  are  not  able

to  spell  their  own   naiiics  correctly,  so  thai,  with   our  own  mis- 
takes, it  is  surprising  that  the  work  is  as  correct  as  it  is. 

We  desire  here  to  return  our  thanks  to  the  citizens  of  John- 
son county  generally  for  the  courteousncss  shown  our  agents 
while  canvassing-  the  county.  The  genial  and  intelligent  county 
officers  have  our  hearty  good  wishes  for  the  gentlemanly  man- 
ner in  which  they  received  and  assisted  ourselves  and  agents  in 
gathering  matter  for  this  work.  To  Judge  I3anta  and  W.  T. 
Stott  do  we  return  our  most  sincere  thanks  for  historical  facts 
furnished  by  them.  M.   &  R.

SETTLEMENT  AND  ORGAN IZyXTION 


JOHNSOI^  COTJI^TY 


JonxsON  County  is  bounded  on  the  nortli  by  Marion,  on  the 
east  by  Shelby,  on  the  soutli  by  Bartholomew  and  Brown,  and 
on  the  ^\■est  by  Morgan.  It  is  twenty  miles  from  north  to  south 
and  eighteen  from  east  to  west,  and  contains  three  hnndred  and 
twenty  square  miles.  White  River  touches  upon  its  north-west 
corner,  cutting  off  a  fraction  over  one  hundred  acres,  while  Hhie 
River  cuts  off  of  the  south-east  corner  a  little  over  thirteen  hun- 
dred. As  these  rivers  flow  in  a  south-west  course  to  the  Wabash, 
it  will  be  seen  that  the  water  shed  of  the  county  with  reference 
to  the  Wabash,  faces  the  south-west,  l^ie  plateau  or  "di\ide" 
lying  between  the  White  and  VAnc  Rivers,  instead  of  lying  par- 
allel to  these  streams,  runs  nearly  north  and  south,  dividing  the 
county  into  two  unequal  parts,  the  larger  containing  about  two- 
third-;  of  the  county,  draining  into  the  Blue,  while  the  rain-fall 
from  the  other  third  finds  its  way  into  the  White  River. 

The  surface  of  the  county  is  generally  quite  level.  At  rsmc- 
veh  (Williamsport),  however,  which  is  located  a  half  mile  cast 
<>i  the  north  and  south  axial  line,  and  a  mile  north  ol  the  south 
bovmdaiy,  ;i  range  c^f  hills  sweeps  u[)  from  the  south,  arid  tlKiu;<; 
bearing  off  in  a  north-w.^^t  course,  it  e.xteiuLs  lo  the  wci.lc  rn  ijoun- 


134  JOHNSON    COUNTY. 


dary  of  tlic  county,  while  it  intersects  at  a  [)oint  about  six  miles 
north  of  the  south-west  corner;  and  from  thence  the  course  is 
northerly  until  it  reaches  the  bhifls  of  White  River,  where  it  may 
be  said  to  ternu'nate.  Iliis  ran_L;e  of  hills,  or  line  of  broken  land, 
as  it  may  with  more  propriety  be  termed,  after  it  leaves  Nineveh 
marks  in  part  the  north.;rn  bomulary  of  that  hill  reg;ion  of  the 
State  which  cuh-m"nates  in  the  hii;li  hills  of  the  Salt  Creek  rej^ion 
in  Brown  and  the  lower  c<nmlies.  All  territory  within  Johnson 
county  south  and  west  of  this  ran-e  is  brol;en  kind,  and  it  is  es- 
timatetl  tb.at  the  area  covered  by  "  bi-okcn  land  "  includes  about 
thirty-six  scp.iare  miles,  or  in  round  numbers  about  c;ne-tenth  of 
the  whole.  liut  it  is  only  "broken  land"  when  compared  with 
the  rest  of  the  county,  for  there  is  but  little  if  any  of  it  that  is 
not  susceptible  o(  profitable  cultixation.  The  remainder  of  the 
coimty  ranges  from  a  dead  level  throufjh  an  undulating  to  a 
slightl)-  rolling  surface,  and  ma)'  be  classed  in  the  catalogue  of 
level  lands. 

At  the  time  the  county  wns  settled  it  was  covered  by  a  dense 
growth  of  timber,  of  the  bcixh,  sugar,  maple,  ash,  oak',  poplar, 
bucke}'e,  linden,  wild  cherry  and  elm.  A  dense  undergrowth 
of  spice  pre\ailed  throu;_;lu)ut.  The  level  lands  v.'crc  inundated 
more  than  half  the  )'ear.  The  forests  were  filled  with  the  trunks 
of  prostrate  trees  ;  some  new  Iv-  f  lUen,  some  sunk  half  their  depth 
in  the  oo/.y  soil,  and  these  1\  iug  in  e\'er\'  direction,  closed  the 
drains  till  there  was  scarcely  an)'  escape  for  the  flood,  save  by 
the  slow  process  of  evai)oratioii  and  percolation. 

In  i8iS  the  Indian  title  was  extinguished  to  the  Johnson 
county  lands,  and  in  the  same  )-ear  Jacob  Whitzel,  a  resident  of 
Franklin  count)',  caused  .a  "trail"  to  Lie  cut  from  that  place  to  the 
bluffs  of  White  lvi\er.  This  jyissed  through  the  northern  i)or- 
tion  of  Johnson  couni)  .  and  was  the:  hrst  path  cut  through  her 
forests.  in  i;S20ihe  Indian;  .ib.miloned  the  ctnmtry  aceordin;,;

were  thrown  into  tlic  market.  In  I^Jarch  of  this  year  John 
Campbell,  a  Tenncssean,  built  a  cabi;i  a  half  nnle  scuth  of  the 
present  site  of  Edinburgh,  into  which  he  moved  with  his  wife  and 
four  little  children.  About  the  same  time  i\braham  Sells,  an 
Ohioan,  entered  the  county  by  tlie  way  of  "Whitzel's  trace,"  and 
located  at  the  mouth  of  Pleasant  Run,  and  there  built  a  c.ibin. 
It  is  not  altogether  certain  which  was  the  hrst  settler,  Cain[ibell 
or  Sells,  but  the  evidence  points  to  the  former  as  entitled  to  that 
honor. 

Elizabeth  Campbell,  born  on  February  10,  1S21,  is  believed 
to  have  been  the  first  v^'hite  child  born  wiliiin  the  [)r(  ■  ent  limits 
of  the  county.  She  certainly  v/as  the  first  in  the  iUuc  River 
bottoms. 

Following  John  Campbell  soon  came  Joseph  Bisho{),  Simon 
Shaffer,  George  Cutsingcr,  Samuel  Herriott,  William  \\  iHianis, 
Joseph  Townsend,  Arthur  Robinson,  W'illiani  R.  Ilcnsley,  Wil- 
liam Foster,  William  Hunt,  Joshua  Palmer,  Israel  Watts,  Thomas 
Doane,  Jesse  Wells,  Isaac  Marshall,  the  WVbljs,  Davisons, 
Adamses,  Thompsons,  Jon  ■  ies  and  others,  and  by  August  of 
1823,  tJiirty-sfvcn  votes  were  cast  in  Blue  River  township. 

Very  soon  after  Sells  built  his  cabin  at  the  mouth  of  Pleasant 
Run,  Thomas  Lome,  George  Doty,  James  Ritchey,  Daniel  Boaz, 
Judoe  Franklin  Hardin,  John  Wishard,  Robert  Wishard,  the 
Tresslars,  Smiths  and  others,  followed  after,  and  by  the  time  of 
the  election,  three  years  after,  thirty-five  votes  were  cast  in  White 
River  township. 

In  1S21  Robert  Worl  settled  Nineveh  tov.'nship.  He  was 
soon  followed  by  Benjamin  Crews,  William  Strain,  Joab  Wood- 
ruff, George  Blankenship,  Philip  Ware,  Daniel  Trout,  Henry 
Mussulman,  James  Jacobs,  John  S.  Miller.  Eight  votes  were 
cast  in  this  township  in  1 823. 

in  the  same  year,  1821,  William  and  David  Biukliart  .'uiMxI 
in    i'l.uiklin  township;    and    they  v.'ere   soon    followed    by  I  .e\i

In  the  same  year  Nalhaiiirl  V<r\\  built  a  cal)in  in  Pleasant 
tov/nship,  and  Daniel  Loper  in  C!,irl:.  J)ell  built  the  fust  mill 
in  the  county;  he  was  soon  followed  by  the  Smocks,  the  Brew- 
ers, the  Wi shards,  and  others. 

In  1825  Richardson  Hensl)-  h/ulad  a  path  into  the  township, 
which  afterwards  took  his  n.une,  .ui<l  was  soon  followed  by  the 
Carls,  Sturgeons,  Rar^sdales,  Terhunes,  McXutts,  I)rid[.;es,  Mus- 
sulmans, Voris,  and  others. 

In  1826,  Mrs.  Utterback,  a  widow  with  eight  sons,  moved 
into  Union  township.  She  \'/as  soon  followed  by  Johnson  Watts, 
Josiah  Simpson,  George  ami  Philip  Kepheirt,  Jesse  Harris,  Geo. 
Kerlin,  Sanund  \Vinchosu;r,  Jacob  I'anta,  Peter  Voris,  Jes.se  and 
Joseph  Young,  Gariet  DitnKirs,  Aaron  Monfort,  Gideon  Drake, 
David  and  George  W.  Demar-.n-,  Daniel  Cline,  Jacob  Wyriclc, 
Willis  and  We:-.ley  Deer,  Isaac  Yanmi)'s,  Andrew  Carnine,  Pe- 
ter Vandiver,  J;icob  Cox,  Peter  I;ergen,  John  Slnick,  and  others. 

In  1822,  the  county  was  organized  and  named  in  honor  of 
John  Johnson,  a  Judge  of  the  Supixrme  Court.  In  August, 
1823,  the  first  election  was  held  within  the  comity,  at  which 
Israel  Watts  and  Danitjl  Poj/,  were  elected  associate  judges, 
Samuel  Herriott  to  the  office  of  clerk,  William  Shaffer  to  that 
of  recorder,  and  William  Freeman,  John  S.  Miller,  and  James 
Ritchey,  commissioners;  John  Smiley  was  serving  as  sheriff  by 
previous  appointment. 

]<-)HNSON    COUNTY    IN     I S74. 

Fifty-two  years  ago  Johns-in  county  was  organized.  At  that 
tinie  it  was  an  absolute  wi!d<  nuss.  'Ihe  heavy  forest  trees  and 
thick  growth  of  undcibm  ii  with  twiiung  vines,  darkened  (he 
earth.  (3nl)'  luae  and  tlu:i<  die  rays  of  the  sun  ever  reached  it.

moaning  winds,  and  cries  of  wild  bcasls  ci-calcd  within  lh<:  pio- 
neer's breast  a  feeling  of  desolation  and  a[)[)r(-hension,  'llie  land 
was  filled  with  wild  beasts,  and  in  the  night-time  could  be  heard 
the  startling  screech  of  the  night-owl,  shrieks  of  panthers,  wail- 
ing of  wild-cats,  howling  of  wolves,  and  the  mournful  cr)-  of  the 
whip-poor-will.  Indeed,  nunc  but  strong  constitutions  and  .'-.tout 
hearts  dared  to  contend  with  primitive  nature.  At  that  time 
Johnson  county  had  no  fields,  no  roads,  no  church  houses,  no 
school  houses,  no  railroads,  no  mills,  and  scarcely  any  i)co{)le. 
In  1874  she  has  large  fields  containing  thousands  of  acres  of 
cleared  land,  valued  at  about  ten  million  dollars,  hundreds  of 
miles  of  roads,  many  of  them  graveled,  at  a  cost  of  over  two 
thousand  dollars  per  mile,  streams  well  bridged  with  thuable 
material.  Each  township  is  well  supplied  v.-ith  church  houses, 
generally  first-class  buildings. 

There  are  within  her  borders  nearly  one  hundred  school 
houses,  valued  at  about  one  hundred  and  fifty  thousand  dollars. 
She  has  two  railroads,  crossing  the  county  in  different  directions, 
and  a  population  of  about  twenty  thousand  inliabitants.  She 
has  about  seven  thousand  horses,  over  eight  hundred  mules, 
nearly  five  thousand  milch  cows,  over  fourteen  thousand  sheep, 
and  about  thirty-five  thousand  hogs,  valued  altogether  at  about 
one  million  five  hundred  thousand  dollars.  The  toted  value  of 
live  stock  and  agricultural  products  is  not  much  short  of  two  and 
a  half  million  dollars. 

The  county  has  over  two  hundred  manufacturing  establish- 
ments, forty  steam  engines,  ten  water  wheels,  and  employs 
nearly  one  thousand  men.  Her  manufactured  products  amount 
to  more  than  one  million  five  hundred  thousand  dollars. 

The  county  is  dotted  all  over  with  beautiful  villages,  while 
amoug  them  ai-e  se\^eral  towns  grown  to  the  dimensions  ol  i  itit-s. 
(irciiwood,  in  tlie  north  part  of  the  count)',  is  a  tlnivin:.,  (o\\  11

southeast  corner  of  the  county,  is  a  h.'uulsonic,  cnter[)risin(,^ 
manufacturing^  city.  It  contains  niany  splendid  business  blocks 
and  beautiful  residences.  The  city  is  situated  on  Blue  River,  a 
streain  of  _<;reat  value  in  conse(|nence  of  its  utility  in  propel lin.!:,^ 
machinery.  The  city  has  several  ni,-unifacturin<^-  establishments, 
and  a  c;'radrd  school,  lunn'shin;.;  eni[)lMynu:nt  to  many  men,  aiul 
educational  facilities  to  nearly  sev(;n  hundred  children. 

The  Rhu:  River  Grr.|>e  Su;:';ar  Works,  at  kMiubur^di,  established 
in  1S73,  mainifictures  over  a  half  million  pounds  annually.  I'iie 
Blue  River  Starch  Works,  established  in  1S6S,  by  Tilford  &  Co., 
does  a  business  of  one  liimdrt;d  and  hft)^  thou-.ind  dollars  per 
year.  It  consumes  annually  [  50,000  bu>he]s  of  corn,  and  twelve 
hundred  tons  of  coal.  Be  ides  these  there  are  other  manufac- 
turing establishments  of  importance. 

Next  comes  the  beautiful  city  of  h^r.uiklin,  county  seat  of 
Johnson  county.  It  is  situated  a  liltK:  to  the  east  and  south  of 
the  center  of  tlic  county,  on  as  rich  a  spot  of  earth  as  can  be 
found  in  the  State.  Franklin  is  situated  in  the  forks  of  Hurri- 
cane and  Yr,iu\i:;"'s  ("reeks,  Iwo  small  streams  which  make  a  junc- 
tion at  the  southern  part  of  the  city.  The  ground  upon  v/hich 
Franklin  is  built  is  mostly  level.  The  outskirts,  however,  arc 
rolling,  and,  where  improved  by  fine  residences  and  domestic 
shrubbery,  are  simply  nuguificeutly  l^t^autiful,  and  in  sunnner 
season  would  charm  the  intellect  of  dny  nrm  oi-  woman  who 
possessed  the  least  spark  of  admiration  for  artistic  and  natural 
splendor.  Years  ago  we  used  to  live  in  this  beautiful  little  city, 
and  since  that  time,  Vvdienever  we  x'isit  the  place,  wc  feel  as  if 
we  h;id  entered  into  .1  :,o)t  of  |)aradise.  The  side-walks  of  the 
city  are  lined  with  beautiful  shade  trees,  wdu'ch  lend  an  enchant- 
ing attractiveness  to  the  city  during  the  summer  months  that  is 
almost  pictures(]ue\      Tlie  streets  aie  bioad  arul  wt:ll  laid  out. 

There  is  one  thing  ab.iul  k'ranldin  that  struck  us  as  being 
woi'th)'  of  mv-nli'>u,  and  lii  it  i  :,  that  it  has  f\,'\\er  vacant  l<,)ts,  in 
[)ioportion   to  it;;  population,  tlii'i   any   other  town   of  lila:   ■-<\;'.r 


HISTORICAL    SKKl-Cil.  I  yj 

known  to  us.  I'hc  inhabitants  nun\her  about  3300,  while  the 
town  plats  show  the  number  of  lots  to  be  about  700;  however, 
;(Mnc  of  the  citizens  live  on  5.;rouncl  not  recognized  as  platted  lots. 
The  average  price  of  vacant  lots  is  said  to  be  about  ,^200  each. 
This  is  a  very  reasonable  price  for  property  in  a  place  so  beau- 
tiful. 

Franklin  is  bciiefiLod  by  tv.'o  railroads  j^assing  directly  throu;;!) 
its  corporation  (sec  <ownship  histoi)-.)  The  business  of  Fnui!:- 
lin  is  in  a  healthy  condition  ;  all  classes  seem  to  be  possessed  of 
a  spirit  of  eiitcrpiise,  and  are  nKjving  ahead  with  cner'^;y  and 
perscveratice. 

The  city  contains  many  splendid  business  bloclvs  and  sujjcrb 
residences. 

The  most  unfortunate  thing  to  the  city,  is,  that  but  one  hotel 
is  kept  in  the  place.  We  are  of  the  o[union  th.at  it  wonld  sur<'ly 
be  to  the  city's  advantage  if  it  cou.ld  have  another  hotel,  A\here 
|;  the  public  could  be  accommodated  respectably  and  at  reason- 
able prices.  Then  the  competition  between  the  two  would  hold 
in  check  any  disposition  on  the  part  of  either  to  neglect  or  over- 
ch.u'ge  their  customers, 

iM-anklin  has  two  printing  offices.  The  Frafiklin  Jeffenoaian 
was  established  in  1852.  It  is  edited  and  published  by  Harvey 
I  C.  Allison,  who  has  had  control  of  the  paper  for  the  last  seven- 
teen years.  The  paper  is  Republican  in  politics,  though  read 
!)>'  many  citizens  of  the  opposite  party.  It  is  devoted  largely 
to  home  news.  The  subscription  price  of  the  Jcffcisoinan  is 
^2  per  annum. 

The  rnaiklu/.  Htiuld  is  editeil  by  M.  R.  Slater,  and  is  a  live 
I'aper,  devoted  principally  to  domestic  news;  yet  it  is  Demo- 
cratic in  politics,  and  fearlessly  opposes  all  seeming  wrongs. 

The  city  of  Franklin  has  two  scliool  houses;  one  of  them  is 
•'    •i'l'.-ndid  building.      They  are  v,i.lued  at  about  S6o,000.

Fratiklin  Colle:;:e  \\'as  f-nnided  in  the  ye.u-  1834,  as  a  "  Haptist 
iMamial  Labor  Institute."  In  that  far-back  time  the  stud*  nts 
built  huts  of  loos  fi)r  places  of  ;,tud)',  and  clu^ppcd  cord  wood 
to  meet  the  necessary  e\'i)enso.,  to  which  they  were  subject. 
Many  of  them  did  their  own  cookin;^  and  washing;-;  and  we  can 
attest  that  their  festal  boards  wen;  not  burdened  with  the  great- 
est of  plenty,  nor  with  "sweetmeats"  of  the  land.  Wo  have  j

income  (lid  not  equal  the  expenses;  so,  ur,(ler  the  pre^idency  of 
J^cv.  II.  L.  Wayland,  D.  O.,  the  College  sn.spcnded  as^^ain.  But 
tile  P.aptists  of  the  State  were  not  willing-  that  the  institution 
should  ^;o  down,  and  in  less  than  six  months  a  new  organization 
was  formed,  and  an  endowment  subscri[)tion  of  almost  ^50,000 
is  now  secured  free  of  all  debt. 

College  Buildings. 
There  arc  two  buildings,  which  are  intended  to  be  the  \vings 
of  a  magnificent  center  building  when  the  whole  is  completed. 
The  two  wings  are  each  84  by  40  feet  and  three  stories  high, 
furnishing  chapel,  society  hi. lis,  reading-room,  library  and  reci- 
tation rooms,  besides  accommodations  for  ninety  students.  The 
buildings  are  now  in  good  repair,  and  make  an  attractive  home 
for  those  who  occupy  them. 

Furniture. 
ILach  room  is  furnished  with  a  stove,  bedstead,  table  and  two 

chairs. 

Library  and  Apparatus. 

The  College  Library  contains  a  large  number  of  valuable 
works.  The  laboratory  is  funiished  with  a  very  respectable 
supply  of  philosophical  and  chemical  apparatus,  v^'hich  is  regu- 
larly used  for  the  purposes  of  illustration. 

The  Campus 
r^mbraces  twelve  acres  of  ground,  with  just  enough  diversity  of 
surface  for  beauty  and  convenience ;  is  pleasantly  shaded  with 
forest  trees,  and  being  separated  by  a  small  stream  from  the 
principal  part  of  the  city,  is  so  secluded  as  to  be  decidedly  in- 
viting to  the  youth  who  wishes  to  apply  himself  to  earnest  study.

Franklin  Township  is  Incatc^d  in  the  central  part  of  the 
c<unity  and  bounded  as  follows:  On  the  north  !)}•  Pleasant  and 
Clark  townships;  on  the  cast  by  Shelb\-  county;  on  the  south 
by  Blue  Rix'er  and  Nineveh  townships;  and  on  the  west  by 
Union. 

The  township  is  watered  b)'  a  small  portion  of  White  River, 
Sugar,  Young's,  flurricane,  Moose  and  Indian  Creelcs. 

The  surface  is  getierally  level,  and  t!ie  soil  consists  of  a  black 
loam,  interspersed  with  spots  of  white  clay.  It  is  well  adapted 
to  cultivation,  and  ami)l)'  rewards  ihe  fiumer  for  his  toil.  The 
model  farm  of  this  township  is  situated  two  and  onedialf  miles 
west  of  Iwankhn,  ai'  I  is  owned  and  farmed  by  Mr.  C.  L.  Dit- 
inars. 

I'he  facilities  for  transportation  are  excellent,  two  railroads 
forming  a  junction  at  Franklin  aiid  crossing  the  township  at 
nc.u'ly  right  angles  to  each  other;  and  tlic  numercnis  county 
roads,  which  are  kept  in  fine  condition,  make  this  township  one 
of  the  most  inviting  in  the  county.  The  society  is  good,  the 
people  generally  being  kind,  generous  and  sincere. 

Churches  are  numerous  and  well  attended,  showing  the  peo- 
ple to  be  earnest  and  devoted  Christians. 

There  are  seventeen  school  houses  in  the  township,  all  built 
of  brick,  and  worth  about  ,$25,000.      The  number  of  scholars  is 
about  one  thousand  eight  hundrt;tl. 
The  town.^hip  trustee  is  S.  C.  Dunn.

Franklin  boasted  of  not  having  a  saloon  within  the  corpora- 
tion. We  will  be  very  much  mistaken  if  the  devil  don't  slyly 
set  up  a  few  for  gentlemen  to  tipple  at  while  the  Good  Templars 
are  sleeping.

east  by  Shelby  county;  on  the  west  by  Pleasant  township;  and 
on  the  south  by  h>anklin  township. 

The  surface  of  Clark  township  is  from  a  level  to  hilly;  much 
of  it  is  extremely  well  adapted  to  grain  raising  and  grazing  pur-

a  population  of  over  one  hundred  inhabitants.  Its  people  are  a

the  township  and  country  generally.  The  C.  and  M.  R.  R. 
touches  its  southeast  corner,  while  tlie  railroad  running  fiuui 
Indianapolis  to  Greensburg  runs  near  its-northeast  corner. 

The  township  is  well  improved.  The  fine,  nicely  arranged 
farms  and  handsome  residences  attest  to  the  industry  and  artistic 
intelligence  of  its  citizens.  They  sow,  reap,  eat  and  sleep  con- 
tentedly, knowing  that  by  so  d<Mng  they  are  fulfilling  the  legiti- 
mate destiny  of  man  on  earth.      'J~he  people  of  Clark  township

PLEASANT  TOWNSHP. 


Pleasant  Townsiiip  is  located  on  the  north  Hne  of  the  county, 
about  midway  from  east  to  west,  and  contains  thirty-five  square 
miles.  The  surface  is  generally  level  and  gently  undulating, 
with  occasionally  some  hilly  land  ;  all  of  it,  however,  is  suscep- 
tible of  a  high  state  of  cultivation.  The  soil  is  rich,  and  produces 
abundantly  of  all  the  grains,  grasses,  vegetables  and  fruits  com- 
mon to  the  climate. 

The  township  is  watered  by  several  branches  of  Young's 
Creek,  which  are  small  and  only  profitable  for  stock  water  and 
drainage. 

The  J.,  M.  &  I.  Railroad  rims  through  the  township  from  north 
to  south,  striking  very  nearly  its  center,  and  affords  ample  means 
for  transporting  all  the  products  of  the  township. 

Whiteland  is  situated  in  the  south  [)art,  and  is  a  thriving  little 
village,  with  a  population  of  ab(3ut  two  hundred  and  seventy-five. 

Worthsville,  near  the  center  of  the  township,  is  a  sinall  [^lacc 
containing  a  population  of  industrious  and  intelligent  people. 

Greenwood,  in  the  northern  part  of  the  township,  is  the  [)rin- 
cipal  town  in  Pleasant  to\vnshi[).  It  c<.iitains  quite  a  numbei  ot 
good  buildings,  and  its  citizens  arc  energetic,  clever,  and  ol 
good  report. 

The  public  roads,  bridges  and  school  houses  are  kept  in 
good  repair.  Individual  improvements  go  to  show  thai  the 
people  are  entiM'prising  diu\  intelligcMit.  IMaiiy  good  farms  .uul 
well-constructed  houses  and   bai'ns  may  be  seen  throughout  the

the  house  of  John  C.  Smock.     It  was  of  the  Presbyterian  faith. 

Isaac  Smock  was  the  first  Justice  of  the  Peace  and  Postmas- 
ter, in  the  vicinity  of  Greenwood. 

The  first  church-house  was  built  about  one-half  a  mile  north 
of  where  Greenwood  now  stands ;  it  was  erected  by  the  Presby- 
terians. 

The  first  settled  minister  was  Rev.  Wm.  Woods, 

The  first  school  house  built  in  the  township  was  near  Green- 
wood.

WHITE  RIVER  TOWNSJ  IP. 


White  River  To\vnship,  situated  in  the  northwest  c(mih  r  of 
the  county,  is  the  largest  in  the  county  except  one.  It  contains 
forty-eight  square  miles.  A  great  part  of  the  land  lays  rolling 
and  gently  undulating;  a  small  portion  is  quite  hilly,  while  an- 
other small  part  is  level. 

The  soil  is  generally  very  rich,  and  produces  corn,  wheat,  rye, 
oats,  potatoes,  fruits,  vegetables,  aiul  in  fact  all  temperate  zone 
products. 

The  township  is  A\'ell  sup[)l!cd  with  rumn'ng  streams.  White 
Iviver  runs  across  the  northwest  corner;  Honey  Cret'k  runs 
across  the  entire  township  fr()m  its  southeast  corner,  and  emp- 
ties into  White  Ri\-er;  Pleasant  Run  waters  tin:  northeast  part, 
while  iSluff  Creek  runs  through  the  northwestern  portion  of  the- 
townsliip.  These  streams  are  generally  sriiall,  with  tlu'  e:\ce[)- 
titMi  of  White  River,  which,  ho\\t;\'er.  Is  of  no  \ital  imixjitance 
t'>  the  welfare  of  the  people  in  White  River  township,  e:\cei)l  as 
a  main  channel  for  draining  the  coimtry. 

The  j)ul)lic  improvements  are  excellently  good.  J^ridgc--, 
load'^  and  school  houses  are  well  eared  for.  There  are  two 
'(ravx'l  roads  completed,  and  several  otliers  in  progress. 

indi\!du;d  improvements  will   compare  favorabl)'  with   oilier 
parts  ofihe  country.      A  great  many  line,  well  regulated  farm;,

The  Doly  famil\-  st^ttknl  in  White  River  tow^nship  m  the  year 
1822.  'iliey  came  through  from  North  Bend,  in  the  State  of 
Ohio,  and  went  into  the  tow  p.sliip  on  "  Whitzel's  Trace."  This  i 
family  appears  to  have  con>istrd  of  three  brothers  and  two  sis-  | 
ters,  who  came  into  th<-  country  late  in  the  spring;  at  least,  i 
there  were  but  tli'>  fi\c:  ihr(<-  l)i-others  and  two  sisters,  who  1

iiionllis  the}'  lived  011  milk  thickened  with  a  little  tlmir.  with 
occasionally  a  stecdc  of  venison.  It  is  ^aid  that  these  ;_;irls  were 
very  much  annoyed  by  rattlesnake;  cominf^  under  the  rahin  floor 
and  protruding'  their  heads  up  ihrou;^!!  the  cre\  ices  l)et\\ecn  the 
puncheons.  Thc>'  v/ere  attracted  by  the  odor  of  cooked  milk 
and  flour.  These  unwelcome  \isitors  were  dispatched  by  the 
fjirls  with  a  stout  stick  or  handspike. 

Peter  Baker  and  George  Dot)-  L^ot  out  the  loc^s  for  the  fust- 
hewed-Iog  house  in  the  township.  The  lust  church  house  was 
built  near  the  "blufts,"  and  the  fust  pastor  was  William  Irvin, 
of  the  Baptist  order.  The  church  house  was  a  double  buildin;:,', 
having  a  cross  partition,  and  was  made  of  hewn  logs.  Ihe  Hrst 
school  was  in.  one  of  the  rooms  of  the  church.  The  fust  Meth- 
odist niinisters  who  preached  in  White  River  Town -hip  were, 
P!li  Farmer,  J.  Scott,  and  Jacob  Brummell.  The  lirst  white 
child  born  in  the  tcnvnship  was  Samuel  E.  Wishard,  .son  of  John 
Wishard.  The  hrst  mill  was  a  "horse-mill,"  built  l)y  John 
Cagley.  The  first  lumber  was  sawed  with  a  "whip-saw."  The 
fu'st  orchard  v.'as  planted  by  Andrew  Jh'own.  The  Hrst  death 
was  a  man  by  the  name  of  Warner.  There  were  no  coflhis,  nor 
! umber  to  make  one  ;  so  the  neighbors  cut  down  a  tree  and  tlug 
out  a  trough    in   which    to   place   the   remains  of  Mr.    Warner. 

They  then  dug  a  grave  with  an  old  ax  and  hoe,  in  \vliieh  ihev 
l^u-ied  the  body.  Perhaps  the  soul  of  this  man  Warner  nev(>r 
knew  of  the  manner  of  his  burial,  and  even  if  it  did,  uhat  effect 
eould  it  have  on  his  future  happiness?     We  presume  that  if  tlie 

illy  world  o(  v/calthy  beings  who  spend  niillions  to  a-h^r"  h<tl.- 
'>|H)ts  of  earth  where  dead  bodies  lay,  could  only  rememix.'r  ihat 
in  Christ  all  were  made  alive,  and  that  there   is   now   no   mor<- 

le.ith,  they  would  turn  and   bestow  their  wealth  upon  jjoor,  sut- 

teiiiig,  living  humanity.      The  soul  of  man  goes  to  that   home,

come  into  the  field,  when  the  boys  would  frighten  them  off,  ami

as  it  seems  strange  to  most  reasonable  men,  that  any  one 
should  refuse  to  have  h.is  name,  date  of  birth,  settlement,

IIknsley  Township  is  loc.itcJ  in  the  southwest  coiiicr  of  the 
coiuUy,  aiul  contains  thirty  -ix  sciuare  miles.  It  hiys  in  a  body, 
six  niiles  s([uaie.  The  surface  of  the  township  is  somewhat 
broken.  I'h.e  !)o(.toms,  alon;,^'  the  creeks,  are  made  of  sand  and 
soil,  comi)o:->in!^  a  pliaf:)le  loam  unsurpassed  f(5r  the  production  of 
corn.  TIk:  upla.nds  are  not  so  ricii,  yet  they  produce  c;'0(jd  crops 
of  wheat,  oats,  fruits,  ve^^etabh^s,  and  avera_:;e  yields  of  corn. 

The  most  valuable  prvxluction  of  these  high  lands  is  blue 
grass;  the  dryness  of  the  soil  L;i\'is  to  it  a  richness  n.ot  obtained 
from  the  grasses  produced  in  the  low  lands. 

Ilensley  lownshij)  is  watered  in  the  southern  part  by  a  small 
stream  called  Indian  Creek;  this  creek  affords  stock  water  for 
many  good  f.u'ms,  and  is  of  much  consequence  in  that  respect. 
Other  parts  of  the;  tow  nshij)  are  watered  by  small  branches, 
running  in  vari'ms  directions. 

The  public  proj-x.'rty  is  of  a  substantial  cliaracter,  and  well 
cared  for.  The  imp>rove!tu'nts  in  the  township  are  generally  of 
the  hrst-class ;  farmers  and  tradesmen  secm'to  be  thriving  in  ihcir 
sevi.;ral  occupations,  drcat  interest  is  taken  in  the  moral  and 
educatitinal  affu'rs  oi  the  to^vnship  ;  school  housi.-s  and  churches 
are  seen  on  evea)-  li.md,  ;md  go  to  establish  the  fact  that  these 
people  are  looking'  iorward  to  a  time  when  every  man  will  be 
rewarded  .iccording  to  that  which  In-  lias  done.

produce.  The  tnwnshii)  has  two  villages  within  lier  borders, 
frafalgar  and  S.tnuiria.  The  former  is  tlie  principal  place  of 
business,  and  is  hjcated  on  the  C.  &  M.  R.  R.,  near  the  north- 
east corner  of  the  township.  Trafalgar  has  a  po[)ulation  of 
about  300  ;  the  peo[)le  arc  industrious,   benevolent  and  affable. 

Our  agent  desires  that  wc  nietition  the  name  of  R.  Cook,  a 
hotel  keeper  in  1^'alalgar,  who,  according  to  our  agent's  report, 
is  a  genial  and  accommodating'  gentleman,  always  endeavoring 
to  makt;  his  customers  feel  at  home,  and  supplying  his  tabic 
with  the  best  of  refreshments.  We  sujipose  there  can  l)e  no 
doubt  as  to  the  gentlemanl)'  cpialifications  of  Mr.  Cook,  but  we 
suspect  that  our  agtnit,  J.  L.  Crooks,  was  smartly  sharpetied  by 
the  good  things  on  the  table. 

The  village  of  Samaria  is  situated  on  the  C.  &  M.  R.  R.,  near 
the  center  of  the  township,  and  has  a  {jopulation  of  about  one 
hundred.  Its  citizens  are  enterprising'  and  courteous  towards 
strangers.  The)'  also  take  much  pride  in  the  advancement  of 
the  interests  of  the  community  at  large;  in  fact, we  may  say  that 
th.e  citizens  of  Hensley  township  are  a  live,  industrious,  go-ahead, 
benevolent,  and  social  p(M)ple  generally. 

i'his  township  has  ten  school  houses,  valued  at  ^56,000. 

Voting  population,  3/5;   Democratic,  300;  Rei)ublican,  75. 

G.  W.  Musselmari  is  the  present  Tounship  Trustee. 

We  are  requested  to  mention  the  existence  in  this  township 
of  ;in  organi/cation  called  the  Hensley  Township  Horse  Thief 
Detective  Association.  Tin:  object  of  this  association  is  to  de- 
liet  and  bring  to  justice  thieves  of  every  character.  Their  call- 
ing is  surely  legitimate,  and  nec;(h  to  be-  imitated  in  other  parts 
"f  the  country,  until  prowling  thiexes  could  fmd  no  safe  retreat 
in  Ib.e  land.  We  imderstand  that  cfjiisiderable  st<jlen  property 
I'l^.,  at  various  time-s,  been  recovered  and  i\-turiu;d  by  the  mem- 
!■>  1  -■  I'f  this  ass(^ciation  !<»  its  pi'oper  owners.  "'["he  way  o{'  tiie

I 

I  NiNKVf:ii  Township  is  located  in  the  south  part  of  the  county, 

between  Blue  River  and  Henslc)' townships.  It  lays  In  n  square, 
and  contains  an  area  of  ^6  square  miles.  The  north  part  of  the 
township  is  rich  and  highly  producti\'e  ;  the  south  part  is  consid- 
eral)ly  broken,  and  is  valuable  for  pasture,  and  for  its  irittnense 
forests  of  splendid  poplar,  walnut,  ash  and  oak  timber.  The 
township  is  watered  by  Nineveh,  Rm-khart,  and  Herriott  Creeks, 
all  small  streams.  Other  little  brandies  run  through  it,  which 
are  valuable  for  stock  water,  and  as  an  outlet  for  \vaste  water. 

The  I.  &  C.  R.  R.  runs  through  tlu;  north-west  corner  of  the 
township.  Nineveh  (Williamsburg)  is  the  only  town,  and  is  lo- 
cated in  the  south  part  of  the  township.  It  is  a  thrixing  place, 
made  up  of  a  good  class  of  people^  The  township  is  well  sup- 
plied with  roads,  which  are  well  kept.  There  are  about  five 
miles  of  good  gravel  road  within  her  borders. 

Ten  school  houses,  valued  at  $[2,000,  show  that  the  people 
are  interested  in  educational  matters. 

K.  B.  Graves  is  the  present  Township  Trustee. 

The  following  names  are  some  of  the  early  settlers  still  living

is  localctl  in  the  southeast  corner  of  the  tovs^n.ship.  It  is  a  place 
of  nuich  enterprise,  and  seems  to  be  in  a  thriving  condition. 
It  contains  many  j^ood  buildings,  and  is  beautitully  located  upon 
the  banks  of  l>lue  River.  Some  of  the  residences  are  splendid, 
and  situated  upon  plats  of  rolling  ground,  which  give  to  them  an 
inviting  appearance.  Edinburgh  is  a  place  noted  for  its  ship- 
ments of  grain,  its  factories,  school  faciliti('s,  and  general  enter- 
prise. The  Blue  River  Starch  Works  are  located  at  this  place, 
antl  are  said  to  use  annually  150,000  bushels  of  corn,  amounting 
to  a  business  of  i^  150,000  yearly.  The  Blue  River  Grape 
Sugar  Works  are  also  located  here.  For  a  more  extended 
notice  of  these  cniterprises  see  county  history.

affords  educational  ficilities  to  about  six  hundred  and  fifty 
scholars.      The  building  is  estimated  to  be  worth  5l5,000.

east  corner,  and  runs  diagonally  through  tlie  townsh.ip  from  south 
ea:  t  to  north-v/est,  affording  excellent  shipping  facilities.  The

who  is  willing  to  s.iy  to  the  world  that  he  believes  the  Bible 
to  be  a  book  of  lies  and  silly  tales,  originated  by  designing 
men  for  the  pu.rpose  of  ambitious  gain  ;  he  is  willing  to  say 
that  the  most  intelligent  creature  of  Chvd's  creation  is  as  the 
beast  of  the  field,  having  no  promise  of  a  life  hereafter.  Pie 
is  willing  to  say  that  God  did  lie  when  he  pronounced  man 
a  living  soul.  He  is  willin;';  to  say  that  his  Creator  lied 
when  he  proniiscd  the  Son  of  Man  for  the  salvation  of  the 
world — that  he  lied  when  he  said,  "This  is  my  beloved  Son, 
hear  ye  him."  Mr.  Adams,  that  word  "  Infidel  "  is  a  fear- 
ful one  to  attach  to  one's  fiilli.  Yet,  if  you  can  see  no 
God  in  man's  nature — in  his  desires  and  aspirations,  or  in 
this  beautiful  world,  then  cling  to  it.
