During the winter months of 1863-64, the society realized several hundred dollars by means of lectures, festivals, etc. It also sent away six or seven big boxes and barrels of hospital supplies. Much assistance was furnished soldiers' families. About the 1st of June, an enormous festival, given in the University Chapel, netted the society about $200. This was one of the most successful gatherings of the kind ever at the county seat. The chapel was beautifully decorated with green sprigs and bright summer flowers, and all came out in the fairy costumes of June. On the 26th of this month, $328.40 was raised in a few minutes at the Methodist Church for the Sanitary Commission after an eloquent address by Chaplain J. H. Lozier, agent of the Commission. Early in August, $1,225 was contrib- uted to the Sanitary Commission by the citizens of Bloomington and vicin- ity. About this time the following soliciting committees were appointed for the Indiana Sanitary Fair of October 2 to 8:

The aid society had almost abandoned work during the warm months, but in October, at the approach of cold weather, was re-organized. Sev- eral boxes of supplies were soon sent to the hospitals in Kentucky. On Thanksgiving Day, over $100 worth of provisions was distributed to sol- diers' families in Bloomington, and doubtless other portions of the county did as well correspondingly. Early in December, the County Board appropriated $1,000, to be distributed to the townships, under the direc- tion of the Trustees, for the use of soldiers' families. The distribution was as follows :
Bean Blossom, $84.50; Washington, $73.50; Marion, $32.50 ; Benton, $57 ; Bloomington, $206; Richland, $95; Van Buren, $73; Perry, $111; Salt Creek, $48; Polk, $42; Clear Creek, $100; Indian Creek, $77.50. These amounts were duly distributed. Oh the 5th of January, 1865, a concert, under the supervision of Prof. Marquis, netted the aid society $58.90. An amateur concert, under the management of W. B. Seward, in February, netted the society $77.45. Various other smaller amounts were received from similar sources. The following table shows what was done by the county as relief and bounty during the war :

BLOOMINGTON.
EARLY RESIDENTS OF BLOOMINGTON TOWNSHIP.
T HERE is abundant reason to believe that Bloomington Township was settled as early as 1816, and there are some evidences which fix the date of the first settlement in 1815 if not before. The power of the In- dians was crushed at the battle of Tippecanoe in 1811, but all apprehen- sion of danger from them did not die out for several years afterward. It may be stated as the opinion of several of the oldest settlers in the coun- ty that Monroe was settled as early as 1810 or 1811 by a few families of professional pioneers. Much of this, however, must be regarded as tra- ditional. In the absence of definite data, it may be presumed that Bloom- ington Township received a few of these early settlers. It is certain that several families arrived in 1815, and many more in 1816, and, as stated above, there is strong evidence that permanent settlers reached the town- ship as early as 1815. Of course, as late as 1816, the county of Monroe, which as yet had no boundary or existence, was a wilderness filled with all varieties of wild animals inhabiting this latitude, and was roamed over by numerous bands of half-subdued savages. In fact, all of the county north of the old Indian boundary was yet the property of the Indians, and remained so until the treaty of St. Mary's, Ohio, in October, 1818, when it was ceded to the Government as part of the "New Purchase." By the time of the first land sale of Bloomington Township in 1816, there were a score or nearly so of families residing within its limits. Among those who entered land in the township during the first four or five years after the first land sale-in fact, all who entered land during that period-are the following, with the sections of land and the years of entry : David Rogers, Section 33, 1816; Joseph Taylor, Section 33, 1816 ; George Ritchey, Section 33, 1816; George Hedrick, Section 33, 1816; John Ketchum, Section 6, 1816; Henry Wampler, Section 6, 1816 ; Adam Bower, Section 6, 1816; Thomas Smith, Section 7, 1816; William Julian, Section 7, 1816; William J. Adair, Section 7, 1816 ; George Parks, Section 8, 1816 ; John Kell, Section 17, 1816; James Parks, Section 17, 1816 ; John Owens, Section 18, 1816 ; David Stout, Section 19, 1816 ; Samuel Caldwell, Section 19, 1816; Roderick Raw- lins, Section 20, 1816; Joseph Taylor, Section 20, 1816 ; James Parks, Section 20, 1816 ; George Paul, Section 21, 1816; David Raymond,
