Another account says that the committee demanded that Brown should allow the American flag to be placed upon his house, and that Brown gave them the privilege of putting a flag-staff on every shingle. This statement adds that some of the crowd became tired of waiting for the committee's report, and started for Brown's house, but that they were confronted by Ben Points, who had just returned from service, and who had posted himself with a rifle across their pathway. Ben, who stuttered somewhat, it is said, was eloquent on this occasion. He meant to "give the old man a chance.'
The Burlington & Southwestern Railroad was finished to Cincinnati in 1873, giving the fertile region roundabout an outlet to market, and adding considerably to the growth of the town. The community aided the construc- tion of the road by a donation of about $2,500. The shipments are mainly live cattle, swine, oats, hoop-poles, etc.
About New Year's, 1877, W. W. Yarham began to board at the Cincinnati House. He wanted the folks to have a newspaper, and invited them to coax him to manage it. He wanted $75 to begin with, which was promptly fur- nished. The paper appeared in about a month, and was neat, newsy and bright. The people came forward and patronized the paper very liberally. The paper continued till the following June, when Yarham went off for a vaca- tion, and, for anything the Cincinnatians know, he is resting yet. The paper was run for few a weeks by another man, when he gave it up, and an arrangement was made to have its publication continued, the printing being done at Moul- ton. This plan did not work to the satisfaction of the Cincinnati people, who soon gave the modified Moulton sheet the "bounce," and so the newspaper of this town is among the things that were, as it were.
A case of homicide occurred in Cincinnati on the 4th of July, 1877. The section men on the railroad had gone to Unionville, Mo., on a hand car, and by the time they got back they were intoxicated with the liquor they had bought. A quarrel arose between Dan Crowley and John O'Brien, which led to blows,
454

.
resulting in O'Brien getting Crowley down, with a prospect of the latter faring badly, when Dennis Crowley, Dan's son, rushed upon O'Brien and struck him with a fish-plate, felling him to the ground. It was ascertained that the latter's skull was fractured, but he revived soon after, and a few days after undertook to resume work, but the exertion brought on his death. Dennis was afterward arrested, but the case was dismissed at the October term of court, in 1878.
MUNICIPAL.
The town of Cincinnati was incorporated early in 1875, the principal motive being to obtain power to lay sidewalks along the streets.
The first Council met April 19, 1875, with A. A. Atherton as Mayor, A. S. Brown, Jr., Recorder, J. E. Goodhue, William Sayres, M. N. Beer, H. Ath- erton, J. W. May, Trustees. J. N. May was chosen Marshal. On the 26th, an ordinance was passed providing for the construction of sidewalks, and at the same session a Sabbath ordinance was enacted.
July 12, J. C. McDonald was elected Treasurer, and on the 26th of Septem- ber a tax of 2 mills on the dollar was levied.
The Council, in 1876, was composed as follows : A. A. Atherton, Mayor ; A. J. Bennette, Recorder ; William Sayres, H. Atherton, M. N. Beer, J. E. Goodhue, J. C. McDonald, Trustees ; A. J. Bennette, Assessor ; J. Leseney, Marshal and Street Commissioner ; J. C. McDonald, Treasurer.
In 1877, the members of the Council were : William Sayres, Mayor ; A. J. Bennette, Recorder ; J. C. McDonald, J. A. Chambers, A. A. Atherton, Henry Atherton, W. N. Beer, Trustees ; Henry Atherton, Assessor ; Albert Root, Street Commissioner ; J. C. McDonald, Treasurer.
The officers for the present year are as follows : William Sayres, Mayor ; H. A. Brown, Recorder ; A. A. Atherton, L. E. Atherton, M. N. Beer, J. Leseney, J. C. McDonald, Trustees ; A. J. Bennette, Assessor and Street Commissioner ; J. C. McDonald, Treasurer.
The Council has succeeded in laying sidewalks along all the principal streets -a great convenience to the citizens of this neat town.
THE SCHOOL.
The Independent District of Cincinnati was formed in 1868, and includes four square miles of terrirory. In 1874, the district began to accumulate a building fund by levying a tax. The building was begun in the spring of 1877, and completed in September following. The building cost $2,600 and the lots, etc., about $400 more, there being now very little indebtedness. The building is two stories high, and 28x40 feet in size, with a front extension of 14x28 feet, the whole surmounted by a steeple that can be seen for miles around.
The school officers who had charge of the construction were J. C. Gault, Will- iam Stickler and A. A. Atherton, who deserve commendation for the good taste shown in the design chosen for the building, which is a structure that will serve the town for several years to come. In respect to its school building, Cincin- nati has nothing to fear by comparison with other towns.
The school population isabout one hundred and thirty-five, and the average attendance is about one hundred.
The teachers during the winter of 1877-78 were Samuel Jones, Sarah Holbrook and Penelope Baker. The teachers now are George Bryan and Sarah Holbrook.

RELIGIOUS.
Methodist Episcopal .- It is probable that the first class of this faith was formed during the winter of 1852-53, at the schoolhouse west of Cincinnati. The first members were Mrs. Sally Holbrook, Mr. and Mrs. Gibson, James Welch and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Cooley, Mr. Matkin and wife, Mr. Welch was Class-Leader and Exhorter. Rev. Mr. Burgess was one of the early Pastors.
The house of worship was built in 1868. It is 28x40 feet in size, and cost about $1,000. It was dedicated by Rev. Mr. Williams.
The Pastors, since 1863, have been George Clark, Charles Clark, Thomas Stevenson, Swanston, Mann, Morrison and Jones.
There are about fifty members. A. A. Atherton is Class-Leader and Isaac Streepy Steward. The Trustees are David Green, A. A. Atherton and Isaac Streepy.
Christian .- This can hardly be said to be in an organized condition, though why it is not it is hard to explain. There have been about twenty believers in and around Cincinnati for several years past. In February, 1877, a revival effort was conducted by Elder Hedrix, of Fairfield, and sixteen converts were baptized. In April, 1878, another series of meetings were held by the same minister, and four more were added. Occasional sermons have also been preached by Elders Downey and Kirkham.
Meetings are held every Sunday in the hall of Dr. Sturtevant's brick build- ing, which has been fitted up for the purpose. J. H. B. Armstrong and Mr. Sawyer lead in the work.
A church should be organized.
Congregational .- This Church is the union of two former organizations, which should be mentioned here.
In 1852, a society of the Wesleyan Methodist Church was formed at the schoolhouse west of Cincinnati, composed of John Fulcher and wife, Nathan Stanton and wife, S. B. Stanton and wife, Walter Johnson, Matilda Johnson, Maria Stanton, Solomon Holbrook and wife, Dr. Sayres and wife, L. P. Hol- brook and wife. The ministers who served this society were Daniel Cartright, Robert Hawk, John Elliott, Daniel Conner and George Jacques. The mem- bership was never large.
In 1858, a society of the Free Presbyterian Church was formed at Cincin- nati, composed of Daniel McDonald and wife, David N. Rice and wife, John McDonald and wife, Mrs. Sarah Rice, Florella and Robert Rice, James Rice. This was through the efforts of Rev. Messrs. Poage and Merrill. Rev. Mr. Fisher was the organizing minister, and was chosen Pastor ; but, having sought to enroll the Church on the list of the Synod of the regular Presbyterian Church, and having sat as Moderator at the meeting of the regular Presbytery at Centerville, he was summarily dismissed by the members, who felt that he had acted in bad faith toward them. Rev. Messrs. Merrill and Poage preached occasionally to the Church after this. This society raised the frame and inclosed their church-building in 1857 ; but, not being able to complete it, it was rented for a high-school building for several years, the lessee finishing it. It reverted to the society in 1867, and was improved in the following year. The building is 42 feet long, and cost about $1,000, mainly contributed by half a dozen members.
When the war closed, a suggestion was made by Rev. David Rice that the two societies unite on the basis of the Congregational Articles of Faith, and the coalition was effected in 1868, with Rev. Mr. Eells as Pastor, whose successors have been A. C Elliott and J. T. West.

HISTORY OF APPANOOSE COUNTY.
There are about thirty members. J. C. McDonald and C. R. Crowder are the Deacons, and the Trustees are Albert Root, J. C. McDonald, Dr. W. A. Sayres, J. M. Rice.
Union Sabbath School .- This is the only Sabbath school in the town, and was formed just west of the town in 1853. J. C. McDonald is the present Superintendent, A. A. Atherton, Assistant; Edie Atherton, Organist. The teachers are Emma Green, A. Atherton, Mrs. N. S. Jacques, Sarah Holbrook, Effie Morrow, J. M. Rice and Penelope Baker. The usual attendance is about seventy-five, and much interest is maintained.
BELLAIR AND NUMA. (Bellair Township.)
Bellair was created October 7, 1854, by Alexander Jones, and was surveyed and platted by John Potts. It is situated on the southeast quarter of the north- west quarter of Section 18, Township 68, Range 18, between the waters of Shoal and Cooper Creeks. Jackson and Washington streets run north and south, and Main street crosses them. There were just twenty lots. The plat was acknowledged on the same day the surveying was done.
J. L. Matkin started a store in 1855.
A post office was established in 1859.
The town became a pleasant little village in process of time. It is charm- ingly situated on the edge of the prairie, and now contains about a dozen houses.
The building of the Chicago & Southwestern Road in 1870-71, about half a mile away from the village, transferred its business to the station established just south.
The town of Numa was laid out by G. R. Huston and E. E. Harvey, and acknowledged by them March 13, 1871. The surveying was done by J. F. Stratton February 1, 1871. The magnetic variation is 8° 15'. The plat is located on the west fractional half of the southwest fractional quarter of Section 18, Township 68, Range 18, and the original plat lies wholly north of the depot grounds of the Chicago & Southwestern Railroad.
The business of the town is represented by a well-stocked store, a grocery, physician's office, blacksmith-shop, etc. Quite a number of men in the vicinity are engaged in quarrying and hauling rock to the depot, the Rock Island Com- pany being the purchaser.
The first sermon ever preached in this neighborhood was by Rev. Mr. Hay- rus, a Cumberland Presbyterian minister, probably in 1853.
A two-story schoolhouse was erected at Bellair in 1857.
A flouring-mill was erected at Numa several years ago.
July 17, 1875, the people of Numa and Bellair, as well as the surrounding neighborhood, met to have a picnic in the two-story building just erected by G. W. Athey. The 4th had been rainy, and it was decided to have an adjourned celebration at the later date. Three hard cases, denizens of Wayne County, named "Bud " Bland, William and Milton Richardson, came to the picnic, and, under the influence of liquor, picked a quarrel with C. M. Morri- son, the manager of the celebration, who was assaulted by them and badly mal- treated before the rowdies could be got off him. A warrant was issued for their arrest, but they fled to Missouri for a few days, so that it could not be served. The Richardson brothers, believing they were safe, returned to Seymour, but

the Marshal of that town, John McCoy, had instructions to arrest them when- ever they returned. He undertook to capture them, but was forced to resort to his revolver. In the melee that ensued he shot and killed both of them.
RELIGIOUS.
Methodist Episcopal .- This society was formed at Bellair in 1857, the first class being Asa Thornburg and wife, William Fox and wife, Perry Steward and wife, Russel Matkins and wife.
The Pastors have been Rev. Messrs. Jesse Hill, George Clark, Morey, Boyles, Charles Clark, Miller, Thatcher, Thomas Stevenson, Swanson, Mann, John Orr, James Hunter.
In 1864, a stone building at Bellair was purchased and converted into a church, which was used till 1874, when the society proceeded to build a new house at Numa. This structure cost about $650 and was dedicated in 1874.
The Stewards and Trustees are Jacob Norris, Henry Blackburn and W. W. Elliott.
·
Henry Blackburn is Superintendent of the Sabbath school ; H. C. Dukes, Assistant and Secretary. The teachers are James John, W. W. Elliott, Jacob Norris, Mrs. Libbie Stiles, Mrs. K. L. Winn, Mrs. Elliott, Miss Eliza Jones. The attendance is usually about fifty.
Christian .- This Church was formed about 1858, the first members being Henry Adamson and wife, Dr. Ball and wife, Dr. Morris and wife, James Steward and wife, John Steward and wife.
The ministers have been Elder John Humphreys, Dr. Combs, Capt. L. E. Harvey and Elder Judd.
A house of worship, 24x36 feet in size, was erected at Bellair in 1871, at a cost of $1,200, and the dedication sermon was preached by Elder Seavey, of Centerville, in the fall of that year.
At one time there were about two hundred members, but the society is now under a cloud. The church has been closed for several months. It would probably be true to say that there is now nothing but a corporate existence, the Trustees being M. Arbogust, Benjamin Adamson and G. R. Moss. It is hoped to revive the society soon.
MASONIC.
Bellair Lodge, No. 193, A., F. §. A. M .- This Lodge was formed by dis- pensation, and held its first meeting September 30, 1857, in the upper story of the schoolhouse at Bellair, with James Hagin, W. M. ; John V. Criswell, S. W. ; Peter Sidles, J. W. The other members were E. E. Harvey, Gavin Mor- rison, G. W. Fisher, G. R. Huston and A. Jones. At this meeting, L. J. Ben- nett made application for membership on demit.
At the session of the Grand Lodge in June, 1858, a charter was granted the Lodge, although the Committee on Lodges Under Dispensation reported in favor of continuing the dispensation another year.
The deaths among the members have been John V. Criswell, Henry Jaques, W. B. Moss and George B. Cole.
The officers for 1878-79 are as follows : Melvin Knapp, W. M .; G. W. Athey, S. W. ; John H. Wilson, J. W .; Peter Sidles, Treasurer ; John Winn, Jr., Secretary ; M. C. Blackburn, S. D .; D. S. McCannon, J. D. ; J. B. Adamson, Tiler ; M. A. Holshouser, S. S .; W. H. Bradley, J. S.
There are about thirty-five members. The Lodge meets Wednesday even- ing on or before full moon.
The Lodge removed to Numa in 1871.

BELLAIR TOWNSHIP.
This was organized in its present form in 1858, and the first election held in October of that year, at which time George W. Fisher was elected Justice. The present officers are : W. Banks, Harrison Baker, L. Spooner, Trust- ees ; Hugh Baker, Henry Blackburn, Justices ; Noah Lantz, Clerk.
The township contains twenty-four square miles, and is watered by Walnut and Cooper Creeks.
ICONIUM. (Chariton Township.)
The plat of Iconium is situated around the center of Section 5, Township 70, Range 18, and was surveyed March 24 and 25, 1857, by H. Myers. Twelve blocks lie east of the center stone, the three remaining blocks lying west. South, Main and North streets run east and west, and are intersected by Lost, Washington, State and West streets. The grantor's name does not appear on the record.
It is said that the town was first laid out in 1854, and that the platting noted. above was a resurvey.
There is but little to glean in this vicinity, in the way of history. The Mormon trail of 1846 and subsequent years passed here, but the most of the fugitives had passed before this part of the county was settled.
A saw and corn mill was built by Joseph Steward, south of the town, in 1852. The first schoolhouse was built at Iconium, in 1853. This was a log struct- ure, and, two years afterward, was removed south of the town.
One of the preliminary surveys of the Burlington & Missouri Railroad passed through Iconium, and the people were considerably elated for a time ; but the road gave them the go-by, at last, since which time this place has had no special hope of a railroad.
A newspaper was started here in 1869, but did not long remain.
The public school is still under the management of the township district.
The business interest is represented by a large general store, a drug store, two blacksmith-shops, a wagon-shop and a steam flouring-mill, the latter built in 1876.
RELIGIOUS.
Methodist Episcopal .- This Church organized a class here as early as 1854, and the outfield was known as Chariton Mission. Some of the members of the class in 1855, were Thomas and Rebecca Cuppy, Timothy and Sarah Allison, John T. Brown and wife, W. H. and Sarah Argo, and Mrs. Mary Argo.
Some of the Pastors have been David Swem, Benjamin Williams, Jacob Delay, Jesse Sherwood, Abner Orr, Samuel Tolbert, Boyles, Britton, Carding- ton, Smith, Thorn, Hodges, R. P. Morrison, Swanson, Yengling, John Armisted, Jones, David Monroe and W. A. Nye.
The charge became Melrose Circuit, about the time that Rev. Mr. Sherwood was sent here.
The house of worship was built in 1870, and dedicated by Rev. James Allender, Presiding Elder. Its cost was about $1,400.
There are about sixty members. Horatio Vosburg, Hugh Thompson and W. H. Argo are the Stewards ; Robert Turner, Miles Thompson and W. H. Argo, Trustees ; Lindsey Gilliland, Class-Leader.
Christian .- The organization of this faith took place January 25, 1862, under the ministration of Elder J. C. Sevey. The first Elders were C. C.
461
HISTORY OF APPANOOSE COUNTY.
Trim and Jacob Fees ; the first Deacons, J. R. Clough and William Davenport. The other members were Joseph Brees, Benjamin Brees, Margaret Brees, Sr., Margaret Brees, Jr., Louisa Clough, Nancy Ann Fees, Lydia A. Bridges, Parthenia Ruddle, Mary Brees, Julia Davenport and Margaret Anderson.
The church was built in 1870, and was dedicated by Elder Walden, in June, 1871. It is 40x48 feet in size, and cost $1,500.
The Pastors have been Elders Sevey, Wharton, Boyer and Carr.
There are now about fifty members. H. R. Burns and B. F. Younker are the Elders ; Samuel Rhinehart and Frank M. Main, Deacons ; Samuel Rhine- hart, Alexander McCloud and James Hilliard, Trustees.
Union Sabbath School .- As now organized, B. F. Younker is Superin- tendent ; James W. Argo, Assistant ; Robert Turner, Librarian ; Hugh Thomp- son, Secretary ; H. R. Burns, Treasurer. The teachers are Horatio Vosburg, H. R. Burns, James Elswick, W. H. Argo, Mrs. Jane Moyers and Mary Palmer. The average attendance is about fifty.
THE TOWNSHIP.
A small Church of the United Brethren faith, was organized along the bor- der, between Walnut and Chariton, over twenty years ago, by Rev. Mr. Shafer, who built and presented a small building to the society. This was afterward sold to the school district, and is now used for a schoolhouse.
In 1857, a considerable society of the same faith was formed in the northern part of the township, known as Salem Church. The organizing members were Joshua Funkhouser and wife, David Funkhouser and wife, Jacob Funkhouser and wife, Daniel Funkhouser and wife, Aaron McCoy and wife, James Johnson and wife, Seth Johnson and wife, Eli Johnson and wife, John W. Main and wife, John Hiner and wife.
The first Pastor was Rev. Mr. Kellogg.
A church was built in 1860, which is 30x40 feet in dimensions, and cost $600. The dedication sermon was preached by Rev. E. B. Kephart, of Western College, Linn County.
The membership is now quite small. Seth Johnson is Class-Leader ; Eli Johnson, Steward; William Eads, William Howard and Seth Johnson, Trustees.
A Union Sabbath School is maintained here. F. M. Main is Superintend- ent; Della Tissue, Librarian ; Sadie Musgrave, Secretary. The teachers are Mrs. Putnam, Mrs. Musgrave, Sarah Tissue, Margaret Musgrave, Frank M. Main and J. W. Finley. There are about sixty pupils.
UNIONVILLE. ( Udell Township.)
Unionville is located on the east half of Section 33, Township 70, Range 16. It was surveyed by J. F. Stratton, April 5, 1849, and recorded Septem- ber 5, of the same year, in book 2, page 13.
The settlement of Udell Township dates from 1843, the first comers having been the Crows, some of whose children still live in Unionville and vicinity.
Probably the next settler was John W. Clancey, who came in 1844, who still resides here. Leven Dean, who was at Agency at the time the treaty was made with the Sacs and Foxes, in 1842, and who settled in Wapello County the next year, removed hither in 1846, and still resides in the township.
462
HISTORY OF APPANOOSE COUNTY.
Unionville is on or near the ancient dragoon trail, described at the begin- ning of the county history, and consequently on the well-beaten road traveled by the Mormons, when fleeing from their settlement on Grand River to escape the visible wrath of the Gentiles surrounding them. This is also the point where the fugitives from Nauvoo diverged from their ancient trail to seek a route westward in 1846, and hence the recollection of the later flight is quite vivid in this neighborhood.
The first death in the vicinity was probably that of John Zinch, which is stated by Mr. and Mrs. Dean to have occurred in 1845.
The first schoolhouse in the township was built near Mr. Clancey's house, in the summer or fall of 1846. It was small in size, and built of round logs. A school was taught the succeeding winter by Albird Thompson, whose pupils were from the families of John W. Clancey, Leven Dean, Mr. Albertson and Mrs. Eaton. Meetings were held here during the same winter, and a class of the M. E. Church organized, undoubtedly the first religious society formed in the county.
The marriage of Mr. Smart and Mrs. Zuck took place in 1847.
Unionville grew quite rapidly, for a frontier town, for two or three years after being laid out, and Mr. John Lankford, of Centerville, says that in 1850 the town was decided ahead of Centerville, both in business and in population.
The first store started was John Miller's, in 1850, and Mr. Hunt and Dr. Udell established themselves in business here not long after.
The town remained practically stationary from 1856 till 1871, when the building of the Chicago & Southwestern Railroad added considerably to its population and business. Surrounded, as the town is, with an excellent farm- ing district, and being at a considerable distance from any other railroad town, the indications are very favorable for further growth. The present business interest is represented by two hotels, two or three stores, drug store, two phy- sicians, and several shops, and the appearance of the place betokens a sound condition of business.
EDUCATIONAL.
The first schoolhouse here was built of hewed logs in 1850, and was heated by a stove. George Taylor was probably the first teacher, and his pupils were from the families of J. Staley, John Miller, Phineas Taylor, Andrew Morrison, Dr. Udell, Leven Dean and William Daugherty.
The Independent District of Unionville was formed about 1862, and a two- story frame building was erected in the following year, at a cost of about $1,800. This indicates that Unionville is as well provided for school purposes as any town in the county, population considered. The enrollment of pupils in the district is about one hundred and fifteen. Mr. Goddard is the present Principal, and Miss Amanda J. Miller is Assistant.
RELIGIOUS.
Methodist Episcopal .- The first class was organized in the fall or winter of 1846, by Rev. Hugh Gibson, who was the first regularly appointed rider on the mission west of Davis County. The first members of the class, so far as can be obtained, were Leven Dean and his wife M. A., Mr. and Mrs. A. Morrison, Mrs. M. A. Mershon, Mrs. Sears and Mrs. Eaton. The few Presbyterians and Baptists in the vicinity united with those above named until the increase in pop- ulation would enable them to maintain societies of their own. Mrs. Riggs, who had been a Baptist, continued her connection with the Methodists till her death.
463
HISTORY OF APPANOOSE COUNTY.
A Quarterly Meeting was held in the vicinity as early as 1847, presided over by Elder Stewart.
Some of the early Pastors were Rev. Messrs. Hugh Gibson, William S. Man- son, Bryant, Johnson, Rowley, Poston, Pierce, James Still, Carey, Winings and Darrah.
The church was built in 1856, and was dedicated in 1858. It is 40 feet square.
There are now about fifty members. James Phillips is Class-Leader ; J. B. Morrison, G. W. Dean, Stewards ; R. Buckmaster, G. W. Dean, J. B. Mor- rison, Trustees.
