BANKING AT NASHVILLE.

Early in the fifties, it was found necessary at Nashville, owing to the lim- ited quantity of small change in circulation, and to the constant fluctuation in the value of the various wild-cat bank issues then passing current, to issue a small amount of local shin-plasters of the denominations of 25, 50 and 100 cents. William M. Mason issued a few hundred dollars worth, as did also Snyder & Arwine, the latter doing at the same time something of a brokerage business. Their money passed readily, and for a time met a greatly needed want, but ere long it also began to depreciate and fluctuate, although it was secured by real property. In March, 1854, the Traders' Bank of Nashville, Ind., was established, with the an- nounced capital of $100,000, the charter to extend twenty years. The stock was divided into 1,000 shares of $100 each, and was owned by the following men : Andrew Wilson, of Indianapolis, 33+ shares ; John Woolly, of Indianapolis, 333 shares ; L. D. Inglesbee, 333 shares. This banking enterprise did little more than file and record its articles of association. Nashville now has no bank.

SCHOOLS.

The first school in the township was taught near Hedgesville about the year 1835, in a rude log cabin that had for a time been occupied by some family. The name of the teacher cannot be stated. The few families in that neighborhood sent eight or ten children. It is probable that school was taught in the David neighborhood about this time, or, as stated by some, earlier. It is also stated that a few terms of school were taught, at a very early date, at or near the old Jackson's salt works, in the western part. In 1840, there were three schoolhouses in the town- ship-one in the western part, one in the eastern part and one at Nash- ville. In 1850, there were four schoolhouses ; in 1860, five or six ; in 1870, nine or ten ; and in 1880, twelve. This number gives the town- ship excellent educational facilities. As early as 1837, the few families at Nashville erected a log schoolhouse within a few rods of the present house, in the northwestern part of town. It was built of round logs, was not larger than 12x16 feet, had poplar poles split for benches, slabs

for desks, and had no window at all. The huge fire-place which oc- cupied one entire end of the room furnished the only light save what was occasionally admitted on warm days through the open door. The fire light was very cheerful and grateful, as the hickory logs snapped and glowed with heat, and cast a ruddy glow over the whole room. David Reddick was the first teacher (winter of 1837-38). Children of the Hoovers, the Dawsons, the Roberts, the Brummets and perhaps others, went to this first school. Mr. Reddick was a good teacher. He kept

731

WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP.

in the schoolroom a small, curiously forked stick. Any scholar wishing to leave the room could only do so after getting possession of this stick, which arrangement prevented two or more from being out at the same time. John C. Marshall, who taught three or four terms, was the second teacher. Charles Sipes was probably the third. and John C. Gould the fourth. It was the custom then to turn the teacher out on Christmas, and keep him out until he capitulated and treated. The cus- tom was so universal that scholars demanded the right to do it, and were

upheld by their parents. Christmas came, and Mr. Gould was informed that he must treat. The scholars refused to come to order when called, and the teacher refused to treat. After a short time the large boys forcibly captured the teacher, bound him hand and foot, and carried him down to Greasy Creek to be severely ducked in the cold water, unless he surrendered and treated. Several men of the town accompanied this novel expedition. The stubborn teacher was carried out into the stream by the large boys, who took off their shoes and rolled up their pants and waded out. A parley was held, but the teacher was obstinate, and was on the point of being unceremoniously baptised, when W. S. Roberts in- terceded, and after some sharp words, pro and con, secured from the teacher a promise to treat to candy and apples. He was released and the cavalcade marched up to the store, where all were given a taste of the above-named delicacies. School was then resumed and all went on as before. This first log schoolhouse was not used longer than about five years ; after that, various buildings, already standing, were used. The Followell grocery building was thus occupied, Sipes teaching there one or more terms. The court house was used for the same purpose. Gould taught there several terms. A man named Roseberry was one of the first teachers in Nashville, and in the old log court house. The present schoolhouse in the northwestern part of town, though. greatly altered in appearance and improved, was built about the year 1857. It is said that Ada Gould was the first teacher in this house. Others were Andrew Gray, Leonidas Alders, Graham, Luther De Motte, John Metheney and others. The schoolhouse in the southeastern part was built about fifteen years ago. The town schools have been partially graded for a number of years. The present school in the eastern part under Prof. Watts is well conducted.

CHURCHES.

It is said that a minister named Eckles preached the first sermon at Nashville in the old log court house, about the year 1837. He did not succeed in forming a class, however, for a year or two. He stopped at the tavern kept by P. C. Parker, after the class had been organized. In one of his sermons he gave the dram-sellers a broadside, which so angered Mr. Parker, who kept liquor at his bar, that he refused the man of God ad- mission to his hotel, and the latter was forced to go to Banner Brummet's. Among the earliest members of the United Brethren class were the fam- ilies of D. D. Weddel (who was himself a minister or Elder of the church), W. S. Roberts, Benjamin Chandler, James Watson, Henry Jackson and others. This old class survived for many years, but did not build a church. The Methodists also organized a class quite early. It is probable that Rev. Eli P. Farmer formed the first class. Godfrey Jones,

732

HISTORY OF BROWN COUNTY.

of Johnson County, was an early minister of this class. The Goulds, the Dews and others were early members. The old frame church now used as a printing office was built about 1848, and was used for almost everything for many years. The class went down about war time over the slavery question, and was not revived as such. A few years ago, a Methodist class South was organized by Revs. Branstutter and Hunter. In about 1878, the present church was built at a cost of about $1,500, J. C. Hester alone giving $500 and guaranteeing that full payment for the house should be made. Among the first members were J. C. Hester and family, J. L. Dew and family, W. W. Browning and family, Eliakim Hamblen and family, Isaac Chafin and family, Widow Jackson, Dr. C. T. Taggart and family, M. B. Jackson and family, Mrs. Frank P. Tag- gart, Solomon Lawver and wife, Dr. M. E. Phillips and family, Mrs. Gibson, Mrs. Hannah Stone and others. The ministers of the new class South have been Revs. Hunter, Taylor, Felkner, -, Hunter, Savage and the present pastor, Mr. Jackson. The church is in a prosperous con- dition. In 1879, the Presbyterian class was organized, and among the first members were G. W. Allison, T. D. Calvin, W. L. Cox, Charles Gibson, R. L. Coffey, John Deitz, John Allison, Henry Voland, Harvey Bay, T. H. McLashon and their families. The frame church was built in 1882, at a cost of about $1,600. The ministers have been Revs. Wood, Larimore and the present pastor, who is serving as a supply, Elder Demaree. The Presbyterian Sunday School was organized in the spring of 1883, T. D. Calvin being the first Superintendent. The average at- tendance is about fifty.

JACKSON TOWNSHIP.

THE GOLD DEPOSITS. T THE natural features of Jackson Township are too unusual and important to be passed over with only a cursory notice. It may be stated in general that the high ridge extending across the county east and west, just south of the general course of Bean Blossom Creek, formed the wall against which the masses of ice from the north during the gla- cial era of the world's history, piled themselves, unable to move farther south except in small quantities, which escaped through gaps in the ridge. Here, then, in the valley of the creek, are the remains of what the ice transported from British America. Here is where the great ice glaciers were stopped and were melted by the recurring summer's sun, and were forced to deposit their loads of Canadian soil and rocks. The fact that south of this ridge the drift is rarely, if ever, found, proves the ridge to have been the southern limit of the enormous masses of ice. All over the northern slope of the ridge and throughout the valley of Bean Blossom Creek are large quantities of the remains of the Laurentian Hills of British America-greenstone, quartzite, quartz, magnetite, gold, etc. But the township has valuable native minerals as well. There are rich

733

JACKSON TOWNSHIP.

beds of limestone and sandstone, and large quantities of geodes from the Keokuk beds, which have been left from the destruction of the rocks. The surface soil of the creek valley is composed of the rich debris of the native rocks, washed down the hillsides through long periods of years, and mingled with the warmer sands and clays from the glacial drift. The geodes locally known as "nigger-heads " are very abundant on Bear Creek, and are usually roughly mammalated and homely, but filled with variously tinted or pellucid crystals of silica, with occasional beautiful specimens of calcspar and sulphuret of iron and zinc. At the old " gold placer " of John Richards, on Bear Creek, several of them are geodized fossils of the genera Zaphrentis, Bellerophon, Goniatites and Nautilus. The valley of Bean Blossom Creek was, doubtless, at one time, much deeper than at present, having been filled up with washings from the adjacent elevations. It is probable that at some future time, borings or excavations in the valley will be rewarded with paying quantities of gold found mingled with the famous black sand or magnetite brought by the ice from the Canadian highlands. Occasional pebbles of Canadian white quartz, containing bright particles of pure gold, are found in the creek valley. Gold has been known to exist in the county and in Jackson Township for many years, and persons ignorant of the geologic forma- tions have vainly supposed that there was no end in quantity to the valu- able mineral. It may be stated that while gold may continue to be found, even in paying quantities, at certain lucky " placers," continuous quantities are not present, and need not be sought. The gold does not belong here. It was brought from Canada and deposited by the ice thousands of years ago. Numerous gold excitements, growing out of some lucky discoveries, have occurred in the past, during which time companies were formed, leases were bought, sluice-ways were constructed, and long-toms and rockers prepared. The companies did not average in gold more than 25 cents per day. On the contrary, single individuals of California experience, by careful selection of location, have " panned out " from $1 to $2 per day. The most valuable nugget found was worth about $1.10. It is probable that the best pay dirt lies at the deepest part of the trough of the creek valley. Bores would establish this line ; then, by shafting, the richest dirt may be brought to the surface. The following estimate of gold found in Jackson Town- ship has been made :

The little village of Needmore, situated in the southwestern part of the township, on the Bean Blossom Ridge, rests upon a bench of modified drift. Here it was that the ice overreached the ridge and scalped the original or native deposits of rock, and permitted the glaciers to partially pass over and rest upon the bench where the village stands. Hence there are scattered all around the remains of the drift-bowlders of quartz, quartz- ite, granite and black sand, or magnetite containing gold and a sufficient

734

HISTORY OF BROWN COUNTY.

quantity of garnet "that a bushel may be panned out in a day." Fine specimens of sulphuret of zinc, sulphuret of iron and calcspar are often found. At Baughman's Hill, on Section 9, Township 9 north, Range 2 east, the geologic formation is as follows :

Surface soil, yellow loess. 12 feet. Keokuk limestone, with geodes, and chert containing Hemi- pronites crenistria, Productus semi-reticulatus, and crin- oidal stems. 8 feet.

Sandstone. 2 feet.

Knob shales with plates and band of sandstone. 230 feet.

Quarry knob sandstone to water level. 4 feet.

Total 256 feet.

DRAINAGE, ETC.

The township has all varieties of soil and scenery. Orchards of peaches are numerous on the hill-tops, and are quite sure and productive. Other fruits are numerous, large and fine. The township is covered with a valuable growth of native forestry, and sends abroad annually large quantities of staves, hoop poles, etc. Three-fourths of the township are drained by Bean Blossom Creek and its branches-Bear, Brier, Lick, Opossum and Plum. The two tiers of sections on the south are drained by Owl, Jackson and other branches of Salt Creek.

FORMATION OF THE TOWNSHIP.

On the 1st of March, 1825, the three tiers of sections on the west side of the present townships of Jackson and Washington, as far south as the line dividing Townships 8 and 9 north, were made a part of the town- ship of Jackson, created in Monroe County, of which that much of Brown County was then a part. An election of two Justices of the Peace was ordered held at the house of Banner Brummet, on the last Saturday in April, 1825, with Elias Swift, Inspector. This election was held, but the results cannot be given, except that Banner Brummet was elected Justice of the Peace, and served as one of the Board of Justices of Mon- roe County. In January, 1826, Henry Kendall was appointed Inspector of Elections in Jackson Township; Banner Brummet and James Brum- met, Overseers of the Poor; John Young and John Hensley, Fence Viewers. The greater portion of this Jackson Township was in the pres- ent Monroe County-five tiers of sections, while only three were in the present Brown County. When Brown County was created in 1836, and formed into townships, the old name-Jackson-was kept for the town- ship in the northwest part of the county, leaving Monroe County without any Jackson Township. The original boundary of the Jackson Town- ship of Brown County will be found elsewhere. It took in all of the present township together with two tiers more of sections on the south, and included within its limits Jacksonburg, the county seat, the name being taken from the name of the township, in accordance with the sug- gestion of Banner Brummet. The township took its name from the old township which had been named in honor of Gen. Jackson, the hero of New Orleans. The August election in the new township of 1836 was ordered held at the house of James Dawson. This was true also of Johnson Township. The September elections were ordered held at the

735

JACKSON TOWNSHIP.

house of Simon Weatherman. Ira Wilson was appointed Inspector of both elections. The Justices of the Peace elected prior to 1846 will be found in another chapter. Early in 1837, the township of Washington was created, which took from Jackson the two tiers of sections on the south, and removed beyond its limits the county seat. William Snyder assessed Jackson in 1836. William Murphy and John Hubbard were the first Overseers of the Poor. John Jackson was the first Constable, but within a month or two it was found necessary to have two, and Ben Brum- met was appointed in September, 1836. In December, 1836, elections were ordered held at the house where Silas Young formerly lived, and March, 1837, at Georgetown, where they continued to be held for some time. At the first meeting of the County Board, in 1836, a district was established on the "Jackson's Licks & Martinsville road," to extend from the Licks northward to Bear Creek, and William Davidson was ap- pointed Superintendent, and the following " hands " living along or near the road were ordered to report to him for work : Samuel Pogue, Israel Mullinix, Joseph Parks, William Robertson, Robert Robertson, Shadrach Robertson, Pleasant Robertson, William Robertson, Jr., Abram Wooden, Michael Fleener, Aaron Fleener and Henry Young. The southern part of this road district was in Washington Township. D. D. Weddel was the Township Assessor in 1837. John Prosser and D. D. Weddel were Overseers of the Poor in 1838; John Harris and Christopher Stump, Fence Viewers ; S. Robertson, Inspector. In 1839, Chris Stump was Inspector ; Michael Tomey and William Dunaway, Overseers of the Poor ; John D. Kennedy and Robert Robertson, Fence Viewers. John Richards assessed Jackson Township in 1840, and Michael Tomey in 1841.

THE FIRST SETTLEMENTS.

The Youngs and the Fleeners were among the very first in the township. Several families had lived on the creek as early as 1823 or 1824, and about this time the first permanent settlements were formed. James A. Baker was an early settler, as was also one or two of the Wed- dels, John Hubbard, the Robertsons, John David, John Richards, and others. By 1830, not less than eleven or twelve families lived in the township in rude round-log cabins. Bear Creek took its name from the great number of bears which could be found along its course. When pursued by hunters in surrounding localities, these animals made a bee line for the ravines and heavy woods along Bear Creek. The following comprises all the early entries of land in the township and includes the names of many of the earliest settlers and most prominent families. The descendants are scattered all through the hills and ravines where their grandfathers first squatted forty and fifty years ago. The following were the entries in Township 10 north, Range 2 east.

HISTORICAL ITEMS.

Probably the first marriage in the township was that of Jesse Rich- ards and Anna Grove, in November, 1836, by Jonathan Watson, Justice of the Peace. Charles Smith and Irenah King were married by Rev. Jerry King in 1836 also. This is said to have been the first. The Youngs built a horse mill in the western part at an early day, where a fair article of flour and excellent, coarse meal could be secured. It was quite well patronized. Christ. Stump's water mill, built on Bean Blos- som, about two miles west of Georgetown, not far from the year 1848, supplied the region around for many years. A saw mill was connected with it and the two were operated several years. The old George Grove Mill was built as early as 1835, and was operated about ten years. It was operated by horse power.

GEORGETOWN.

George Grove was probably the first man to live at this village. H. was there as early as 1833, and very likely several years before. He founded the village which took its title from his given name. James Dawson lived there very early before he moved down into Washington Township. Adams & Kennedy opened the first store there in 1836, having about $1,500 worth of variety merchandise. Brooks was an early resident. William Snider came there not far from 1835, and for many years was the leading man in business. McIlhenny moved there in 1837, and Thomas Waltman soon afterward. William Murphy was another early resident. In about 1839, Jacob McNeeley erected a large tannery there. He sunk between forty and fifty vats, and manufactured leather on a large scale for that early day. His buckskin was well known in Eastern markets. The tannery was conducted until about 1848, and was abandoned after his death, by lightning. A man named Nordyke also conducted an early tannery there. Cooper & Becket were merchants about 1839. W. W. Baker sold liquor as early as 1837. Samuel Law- rence followed suit a year later, and Daniel Parsley trumped them both about the same time. Charles and George McLish opened a store in 1840, with a general stock worth, $4,000; they sold liquor, groceries and merchandise, and paid a license of $25 per year. Robert McIlhenny also started a small store in 1839, continuing to about 1841. T. and R. Pugh were merchants in 1846. John R. Davis opened with $1,000 worth in 1842. William Snider began merchandising in 1847. Robert McIlhenny sold goods in 1850 and onward. William Banta was in later
