At the age of twenty-three years James Anderson, who had speat the greater part of his life up to that data on bis father's farm in Champaign Co., Ohio, emigrated to Great County, in this State, being at the time of bis arrival there the possessor in fee simple of borse, saddle and hridle, and thirty dollars in money.
On the 17th of March, 1847, he wes marred to Miss Sussana Drook, of Grant County, this State. Four weeks after that event took place he was keeping house in his new log cabin, on the farto which be at present owns. They commenced with what would in more moderu tines be considered a very moderate "setting ont," consisting of only a skillet, a ten-kettle, one chair, and o bed ; but among these surroundings, with all their attendant inconve- Diences, they had continually o large amount of company, ond their hospitablo fireside was alike the resting-place for the weary traveller and the pleasant resort of hoth the old and the young. Mr. Anderson and his estimeblo wilo were then, and are still, though oow well alnag in middle life, the liveliest of company and the most genial of the gay.
There were not many neighbors in those days, hot those who were there were neighbors indeed. It was all a wilderness where the town of Somerset now stands, thero bring but two buildings within its present limity. One wus a log cabin, necupied and kept as a tavern by John Shinekleford, and the other n three-cornered blacksanth shop Among the settlers of that day were Joseph Cale, Jneob Malsbury, Daniel Hooner, aud Joviah Jones. Mr. Anderson's house soon became a general stopping-place for all who camy that way, either to look at land or going through un their way to and froin the mills on the Mississinews For some time previous to the building of thean, they hud beco obliged to go liftren miles, uither to P'ern or Marion, to have their wheat and corn groutal, and that over very bad ruada, which ware utterly impassable digring certain sensous of the year.
In 1851 Mr. Anderson wirt with a sovero accident, being caught under a falling treo while elearing, and while he escaped almost mirarulnurty with his life, ho has never fully recovered froma tho Injuries then received, and will remain a erapple to the end of his dnys. He has always inen a hard-working man, and has brought upe a family of fouriron children, ton of whom are now living. Ono aun is at the present tirou farunng in Town, and two daughters havn married and settleel within the limits of this county.
In political belief Mr. Anderson hins always been an orient Republican, noul has been prouluently identified with the interests of the party in this ruanty. Before the Formation of the party bo votert the Whig ticket, casting his Grøt I'rusidentanl ballot for Goneral Taylor.

HISTORY OF WABASH COUNTY. WAREZ TOWNSHIP - RELIGIOUS DENOMINATIONS.
(Contomed from page 13.)
settlers along the east of it were willing to give their hati of the way, and the ted man bavmg no sowe in the matter, it was thrown wholly ujum his side of the bus. In nhier years, when the nerve Inal buen purchased by the Government, And the Indians removed to their new reservation, west of the Missts- sippi, those who settled on the west side of the line were obliged to slade by that which had already been established, and so to the present day the boundary hme road runs bxsule the line instead of on it.
WALTZ TOWNSHIP.
This township, named in honor of Lientenant Walz, who was killed in a battle with the Indians tough! on the Missis. | sinews, in Grant Co., in December, 1>12. is m the mmust sonth- western part of the enputy, and contains an area of forty-eight sections. It was the last land in the county to be opened to white settlement, being a part of the ohl Miatt " Thirty Mie Reserve," but in line of improvements and wealth stanuis equal in rank with any of the ohler township's.
Surface .- Its southern extremity is traverse.i by the Mis- sissinewa River, whose bottom lands, although not often of great width, are exceedingly rich and fertile. From these to the uplands, which he at a much higher level, the country rises in gradual slopes, hut few of which are tuo steep for cultiva- tion. There is but very little waste land in the township.
Former Swamps,-some parts of its territory were formerly SO Wet and marshy as to be considered unfit for agricultural purposes: but the era of ditching and underdraining which the past few years have inaugurated throughout the country, still further promoted here by the maunts: ture of an excellent qual- ity of drain-tile, has caused these swamps to become valuable and almost eshaustless crop-growing and grain producing fichls.
Limestone .- In some places along the banks of the Missis- sivewa and in the more deeply marked gulleys iruling down to it from the updamis, there are outeroppings of the argillaceous limestone common to the Wabash valley. It is burned in con- siderable quantities for agricultural purposes, nod occasionally used for cement, besides furishing a very passable quality of hoilding stone.
The Mississinewa. -- This river Inrnishes an alwindlance of never failing water-power, which is utilized and employer by n large number of fouring and saw mills in this townslap.
lodians. - The ludians remained in this township mitil the year 1:45, when they were removed to their new homes in Kansas, under the agency of Alexander Coquillard. Their Domber at the time of their removal was about six hundred. It was a sorrowful time throughout the towushp when they went away. Sad for them, for. savage though they were. thev were human, and were tenderly attached to the land which had been for ages the home of their ancestors, and among whose forest shades their lives had been passed. Sad for the white settlers too. for many of them had come and built their ealdus among them. and bad almost invariably found them kind neigh- bors and true friends. They were a sulined people; the war spirit had died out among them, and they no longer looked npon their Anglo-Saxon neighbors as interlopers or antago- bists. The contest for the supremacy had been decided against them, ant they bad accepteil the bitter alternative. The pio- beers at that time had but little market for their prorluce excent that furnished by Indian consumption, and the money paid to the tribe by the government in exchange for their land was nimost the only currency that found its way into the country.
Indian Ponies,-At the time of their departure quite a large Dumber of their ponies were left behind, and these became the property of the settlers. During the ensuing fall and winter it become a regular business with many to hunt and capture theu.
Reserves .- The land was surveyed in 1939, sit years pre- vious to their removal, by Chauncey Carter, a government surveyor. Several individual reserves were more, which, by the stipulations of the treaty, they were still to occupy; andt on which they are living at the present day, slowly learning tl.e ways of civilization
First Settlers .- The first settlers of this township linve nearly all passed away, most of them having sold out their claims and moved further to the westwant when the country grew to be more populous and less of a frontier settlement than snifer their tastes. When the tine expired according to the terms of purchase, and the newly acquired territory would be wir ject to settle ment. a general rush was inndir from all sides into the purche-el territory, and hundreds of rabias were built wR if by magic, and in a few days the whole country was taken by preeintritm.
Voting Places .- Tl:« first elections were held at the "01 Ashery. heathwest ol where Somerset now sinhds, and after- waris at Mirajah Wee-ber', bousc. omn Section 14; but in after yerry, as Somerset came to be more of a trading contre. the voting pince wa- fixed at that jmint.
Somerset,-'I Is throwing town, the largest in Welt : town- ship, is pdensantis situntel on tar sonthein bank of the Mis- FINSIT wa BE.er. It way aid ont by stephen Sternberger un the 14th of January, 1444. In the very earliest days of ita history it wan wimedly known as a half-any pennt on the road
between Porn and Marion, and consisted of i single log cabin kept as a tavern by a Frenchman pamed Kruttcan.
An Indian Hostess. - He had married a squan, who is de. seriedi as twing an excellent ponk, and who played the part of hostess to the general satisfaction of all who had areason to ; foss that way. The cabin was minated at the - Twin Springs" as they were called, pante a noted natural Aature at that dav. Their locality was at a pomt purtheast of the present town uf Somerset, and just outside its present limits, where the place is still punted ont; although no tracey of either springs or calin are now to br sten.
The Homeliest Man .- I'rubaldy the next wttler in the vivin- ity was Sam Ankirt, who moved into an Indian hat near by at a very early day. He was in after years celebrated as the bomliest man in the county, and appears to have maintained the palm in that respert until the township had beemmur quite thickle settled. At last, however, a new-comer arrived whose ugliness of visage threw old Sam entirely into the shade, and alter standing them side by side for comparison, at a raising, the assembled populace muanimonsly deculed in fasur of the ister setiler, and the laurels which Saum had borne so Jung were conferred upon the newly arrived pioneer. Both be and old Sam have long since pissed amay; and, like the springy and the eshin, all traces of name and lineage linve fauled out of memory.
The First Store in Somerset was kept by Daniel Hoover, in a log cabin where the Riverside House is now situated. Then Derreck Lamar solil gomis in a hewed log house on the oppo- site side of the street, and afterwards A. M. Brown of Wabash put up a log tavern near where Miller's store now stands A harness shop was opened at about this time on the present site of O. S. Ferree's drug store-and so the little town grew and prospered.
The First Mill on the Mississinewa in this township was built by a Mr. Coppac near the present site of Mount Vernon. Another was built soon afterwards near where John R. Sump- ter's mill now stands, but on the opposite hauk of the river, and A trifle lower down.
First Pottery. = The first kiln of pottery burned in the town- ship was put up by William Cochran, near Mount Vernon, on the place now ocenpied by John Rogers' harn.
Mount Vernon .= This little town was first laid out on the old Whiteneck farin, Int the Ints were all subsequently bought up by Mr. Whiteneck, who thought it a pity to have so much good farming land wasted, and the prospective village was ac- conlingly resurveyed in the locality where it is now situated. It was laidl unt by W'm. Dayton on the 20th of July, 1817.
Rattlesnakes. = These reptiles, especially the large yellow kind, were very numerons along the rock ledges, and though no instanees are known where their bites provedl fatal, they were very poisonous, and much dreadedl by the settlers.
Dancing was a favorite amusement throughout all the carly settlements, among the younger members of the community, ami after a hard day's Mbor was over a party of young men anri mnidens wonkl frequently organize and start through the woods to the cabin of some distant neighbor, gathering all between them and the place of their destination as they went, and there spend the greater part of the night in "tripping the light fantastic" over the rough, nneven puncheon floor.
At one of these pleasant gatherings, which took place at & cahin flown among the bluffs of the Mississinewa at quite an early day. while all was going as merrily as a marriage hell, a laige rattlesnake glided among the dancers. This appearance caused a general stampede among the fair ones on the floor, onrl the fact that a severe thunder-storm was raging at the time did not prevent their leaving the cabin and remaining outside until some time after the venomons reptile had been killed- long enough, in fact, to make sure that there were no others where this one chore from. Whether his snakeship had heen attencted by the sweet sounds of the violin, or bis quarters under the floor beenmning uncomfortably damp, bad cansed his sudden and tinwelcome appearance, it does ant come within the province of this narrative to decide. Suffice it to say that his foolish intrusion cost him his life, as the assembled young men, knowing that the eyes of the fair ones were spon thom, did not fail to call forth all their valor in dispatching the uninvited guest.
RELIGIOUS DENOMINATIONS.
The principal feligions denmininntions in the county are the. Methodjiet, Christina, Intherat, and feminin Baptists, or " Ink- wrd4," na they are called ; also, limited Brethren, Presbyterian, Friends ur tjunkers, Baptjet, nud Harmin Catholic.

For instance, Pawpaw Girenit orbraces-u. vert of Miami and a part of Wabush County, and so with it manber af others.

PERSONAL SKETCHES.
FIRST WHITE NATIVE.
In a former brief history of the settlement of the county written by Hon. Elijah Hackleman, in the year ISAD, it was stated that one Johns Willson. a son of Robert Willson. was the first white childl born in the county. Oll Mrs. Jousthan Keller bad given that as her recollection of the facts in the case, in auswerto Mr. Hackleman's inquiry, but apon subsequent thought she remembered that she had carrieil her son (Jonathan Keller, of Wabash, then a babe but a few weeks ohi, with her at the time of attending the ceremonies incident to tutrodneung the young Willson aforesaid into the world, thus establishing the fact that her son was born first of the two. und was conse- quently the first white native of the county of Wabash.
ROBERT STEWART.
Robert Stewart, Esq., tras born on the 4th of July, 1824, in the vilinge of Uniontown, Belmont County, Ohio. Ilis father, James Stewart, Ins a native of Fayette County, l'ennsylvania, and de- scended originally from Irish parentuge. He was amarried in 1821 to Miss Mary Wellman, whose parents were among the ear- liest pioneers of Eastern Ohio. They were of English descent.
Robert Stewart was married Feb. 12th, 1846, to Miss Elizabeth Graves, a native of Coshocton County, Ohio. In September, 1553, Mr. Stewart emigrated to Wabash County, aud settled in Liberty Township, in the some section where he now resides. Since that time he has been one of the lending men of the township, and aiso of the county, filling ot the present time the responsible office of coonty commissioner. He was township trustce for six years pre- vioos to his election to the present office. Politically, he is a staunch Republican ; religiously, a consistent member of the Christian church, which both he and Ins wife joined previous to marringe ; and, socially, a great favorite in the society in which he lives.
A Mr. and Mrs, Stewart have been the parents of n family of thir- tecu children, eleven of whom are living at the present time. sketch of their very pleasant homestead is given on another page of this work
CHARLES R. SCOTT,
One of a family of eleven children, was born in Fayette County, Ind., in the year 1813. His parents were probably Virginians by birtb. but came to this Sinte from Tennessee ia about the year of 1806. They at first settled in the southern part of the State, at no great distance from the Kentucky line; and were frequently obliged to return on horseback arross the border in order to purchase the necessities of life which the stubborn wilderness as yet refused to furnish them.
Mr. C. R. Scott was married in Fayette County, in the year of 1-32, to Miss Mary Chmuley, and in 1935 emigrated to th : wills of Liberty Township. where he entered one hundred and twenty neresof land on the place which is now his home. Here he experienced the common lot of the pioneer, me of muru solitnty toi! and many privations; but in the end sorgeedledl in clearing op aul Sitting for cultivation the large farm which he at present owns. At the time of his coming here. wolves. direr. wild turkeys. and wild honey were very plenty in the woods, onil, excepting the first, contributed largely to the sujedy of the woolnan's table. The former piests werea great onquyance in many ways. At the time of his rondine Mi. Sintt hrough: a emall flock of sheep with bim, which required the closest watch- ing to protect them in the cleated pasture during the day, and had to be housed in a securely covered pen at night. The wolves carne so hear them one night, however, that they brake out the door of the pin in their fright nad escaped to the wands, where they were every one devoured.
