CHAPTER XX.
OSCEOLA TOWNSHIP.
IJIS township, like the village of the same name in Elmira Township. owes its name to the fact that, during the Semi- nole war, a number of persons settled in the neighborhood, who admired the desperate valor of the halt-breed chief of that tribe. This war began in 1835 and lasted seven years, though the last four years of the struggle did not reflect as much credit on the Indians as the first three, when they were led by the brilliant Osceola. His father was Willis Powell, and his mother a Creek Indian woman. Osceola was born in Georgia, but his mother removed to Florida. where he became the leader of the Seminoles. lle opposed their removal. and led them in many desperate encounters, until he was captured and imprisoned at Fort Moultrie, where he died in 1838. a year prior to the organization of this county, and only a few years after the first settlement was made in this township.
The population of the township in 1880, was 1.519, including 506 credited to Bradford, and 104 to Lombardville. The fact that, during the year 1886, 300 acres of wheat produced 9,000 bushels, oats aver- aged 55 bushels, some aeres yielding 100 bushels, and corn averaged about 25 bushels, is the best index to its agricultural wealth.
Throughout the township there is a heavy coal deposit, banks and shafts which have been worked for a number of years. In 1861 John McLoughlin worked the Foster coal bank, two and a half miles west of Bradford. and sold in the neighborhood at that time. Here his brother. Levi MeLoughlin, was accidentally killed. The Aitkins and 34

other mines in the neighborhood of Spoon river, and the Lombardville shafts are the principal centers of the coal supply here. In 1862 a gas well was tapped on A. J. Nevitt's farm, four miles east of Bradford. In 1883, in the same neighborhood, gas and oil wells were. tapped. Gas was found in Milo township and a company was organized in Mar- shall county to work the wells, but did not find oil or gas in paying quantities.
