In 1846 or 1847, a saw-mill was erected by John and William Townsley, on Burnett's Creek. This mill is still in operation and is owned by William Townsley, one of the original proprietors.
The old saw-inill removed by Alexander Hoover was purchased by John Fry and brother, who converted it into a steam saw-mill, and subsequently added to it the machinery of a planing- mill. At a later date, they added turning-lathes and other machinery necessary for the manufacture of spokes and felloes, in which

they have ever since been successfully engaged. They have a flourishing business and find a ready sale for their goods.
The principal ocenpation of the citizens of Adams has always į been the pursuit of agriculture: aud, as has been intimated in another part of this chapter. her agricultural statistics compare favorably with those of other townships of the county. In ISSO, gathered: 2,455 acres planted in corn yielded 43.191 bushels; meadow, 57] tons of hay were gathered, while 36 acres of Irish potatoes yieldled 1.296 bushels.
THE VILLAGE OF LOCKPORT.
During the days when the Wabash & Erie Canal was the principal artery of commerce between Toledo and the West. nn morous thriving towns came into existence along its course, and prospered as long as the canal retained its prestige. But as the greater advantages of the railroads drew the patronage of shippers away From the canal, this once great highway began to decline. and the malady that effected it. spread to the towns, of whose prosperity it had been the source. Lockport belonged to this class. It was fomuled abont the time the canal was completed. and became a great point for the sale and shipment of grain. Two large warehouses were created on the bank of the canal. with facilities for discharging their contents of wheat or corn directly into the canal-boats. as they " lay to." It is said that these warehouses were often filled and emptied again twice, or even three times, during one season. The trade of the town ex tended over a cirenit of thirty miles or more, and its mercantile establishments were all conducted on a mammoth plan. Merchants and mechanics alike made money rapidly, and the evidences of prosperity were everywhere noticeable throughout the village. But a change came over the spirit of its dreams, and whatever ideas of the future greatness of their village had slumbered in the hearts of the villagers, were doo and never to be realized. The first stroke of adversity was the construction of the Toledo. Wabash & Western Railway, which first drew freight and pas- senger travel away from their Former chanel the canal. Sub. sequently. the construction of other railroads within the circuit from which the town had formerly drawn a large patronage, was the signal For the springing up of other towus, which drew largely from another source of its prosperity. As tratlie on the canal grew less and less each year. Lockport's glory waned in propor- tion. until it became a mere ghost of its forme . self. and one who now beholds the place for the first time at once recognizes the fact that he is in a town which has "seen better days." The warehouses are still standing, but they have fulfilled their mission. and their massive frames and idle storerooms look gloomy and solom. In the basement of one is a drinking saloon, while far. ther up the street a similar receptacle opens its doors invitingly to the bibulous. The town has no hotel. The mercantile business is represented by two stores, one of which is a grocery, kept by W. W. Barnes, the Postmaster: the other is a grocery and notion store, kept by Mrs. Nancy Briggs. There are two practicing phy sicians Dr. A. L. Stnara and Dr. R. I. Wilson. Jacob Burk, blacksmith. and Charles West. wagon-maker, aro the representa tive mechanics of the village.
JAMES HANNA. COMMISSIONER.
Mr. Hana is a member of the present Board of Commission- ers of Carroll County, having takon his seat in that body at the December term. 1879. Previons to his election as Commissioner.

HISTORY OF CARROLL COUNTY.
and during two successive terms -from 1874 to 1879 -he had faithfully and intelligently served as Trustee of Adams Township.
Mr. Hanna is a son of Robert and Elizabeth (Mooney) Hanna. and was born in Greene Connty. Ohio. on the 18th day of June. 1823. In 1833. August 23. with his parents. he came to In- diana. locating first in White County (not then a county), and subsequently. in 1865, with his own family. he moved to Adams Township. Carroll County. where he has ever since resided. His father was a native Pennsylvanian. of English descent, and was a soldier in the war of 1812.
James Hanna was married. on the 9th of April. 1847. to Emily Gibson. a native of Ohio. The fruits of this marriage are four children -John H. (married to Sarah Coleman). Mary J. (married to Manfred Coble). Robert and Marion.
Formerly a Whig in politics. for a number of years he has been connected with the Democratic party, entirely abstaining. however. from partisan labors, even in campaigns in which he himself was a candidate for the suffrages of the people.
Mr. Hanna. like his father before him. has been satisfied to follow the even tenor of a farmer's life. believing that honest toil brings honorable success, whether laboring in a humble or exalted sphere. Along with this occupation. he has engaged for a number of years in the sacred calling of a minister of the Church of God. Having lived a thoroughly abstemions life. he is yet. at the age of fifty-eight years. a hale and vigorous man.

WILLIAM LOVE.
One of the pioneers of the northern portion of Carroll County, and a neighbor and citizen who has always ranked high in the estimation of the people for the sterling qualities of his charac- ter, is the subject of this review, William Love. Born in Lin- coln County. Mo .. on the 8th of June. 1819. his residence in Carroll County. Ind .. began eleven years later, with the removal of his parents. in March. 1830. to this county, and their squat- ting on a piece of timbered land near Burnett's Creek. in what is now Adams Township. James A. Love now owns and lives upon the original homestead.
The Love family had left Missouri in 1828. and had passed a year in Park County, Ind., before coming to this county. John Love, father of William Love, was born near Yorkville. S. C .. on the 29th of December. 1776: served as a First Lieutenant in the war of 1812: was married. July 24. 1818, to Miss Sarah Galloway, and, in the fall of that year. moved to Lincoln County. Mo. He departed this life in 1867. in his ninety-first year. John Love and his wife were of Scotch-Irish descent.
William Love was married to Miss Deborah Cochran in the year 1842, on the 15th day of March, the ceremony occurring at the residence of her parents. Samuel M. Cochran (a soldier of 1812) and Sarah (Endsley) Cochran, natives of North Carolina, who emigrated to Carroll County. Ind., in the fall of 1836. William Love and his wife are both members of the Associate Presbyterian Church.
In politics, Mr. Love was originally a Whig, but. since its formation. he has been allied with the Republican party.
Mr. Love has never departed from the worthy occupation handed down from his fathers-that of farming-and to-day resides on and manages an excellent farm immediately adjoining
the Love homestead. On this farm he has reared a large family of boys and girls, five of whom are living --- John M. (married to Catherine Barnes). James C .. Sarah A. (wife of William Gilkey), Mary I. (wife of B. F. Stewart) and Elizabeth M. Mr. Love also has two sisters. Margaret Cochran and Sarah E. Cochran, and one brother. James A .. living.
In 1888, Mr. Love was elected a member of the Board of Commissioners of Carroll County, and in 1861 he was re-elected to the same position. In politics. he was originally a Whig, but, since its formation. he has been a member of the Republican party.
Mr. Love has lived a commendable life. A man of scrupulous fidelity to truth and right. temperate and abstemions in his per sonal habits. industrious and prudent in the management of his own interests, and of caution and sound judgment when acting in an official capacity, he deserves. indeed. the reward of the " good and faithful servant."
DR. ROBERT I. WILSON.
Dr. Wilson was born in Ross County. Ohio. December 12, 1815. He was a son of John and Lucy (Taylor) Wilson, and a grandson of James Wilson. Both father and grandfather were natives of Pennsylvania, and both immigrated to Chillicothe, Ohio. in 1798.
His maternal grandfather, Capt. William Taylor, was a native years of age. Subsequently, Grandfather Taylor joined the Fed- oral army, and served as an officer throughout the Revolutionary struggle, and, lafer, drifted to the State of Kentucky, where he became the owner of slaves. But, soon becoming averse to the institution of slavery. after disposing of a portion of his slaves, he removed to Ross County, Ohio, with the balance, where he gave them their freedom. Capt. Taylor's daughter Lucy here formed the acquaintance of John Wilson, the father of our sub- ject. this acquaintance resulting in marriage in 1802. Dr. Wil- son was reared on a farm, and received his elementary education in the pioneer common school. This he supplemented by a course of study at the Dayton Academy.
In the spring of 1837. he commeneed the study of medicine, under Dr. Henry Van Tyle, of Dayton, Ohio, and continued thus for about three years, completing a course, in the meantime at the Cincinnati Medical College, the fall of 1839. In the spring of 1840. he removed to Lockport, Carroll Co., Ind., where, forin- ing a partnership with an older brother, Dr. John Wilson, who had preceded him thither five years, he commenced the practice of his profession. About 1842, his brother returning to Ohio, the subject of our sketch removed to Delphi, and there entered into a copartnership with Dr. Samuel Grimes, of that place.
Here he married Miss Jane Howlett, daughter of Capt. Parker Howlett, on December 19, 1844, and, about July, 1845, he re- moved to Georgetown, Cass County. In the spring of 1847, he again changed to Burnettsville, White County, and finally, in the spring of 1852, returned to Lockport, where he has since lived and continued his profession.
His companion, then the mother of six children, departed this life February 13, 1864.
Dr. Wilson has been a man of enduring constitution, and, being of temperate habits, is well preserved for his years. Ever assiduous in the line of his profession and in the pursuit of for- tune, he has been successful, and is now the owner of a large estate.

LANNING 269 BURLINGTON TOWNSHIP. BURLINGTON TOWNSHIP. LOCATION, BOUNDARY, ETC. Burlington is the southeast corner township of Carroll County. The territory it comprises was first erected into a civil township by the County Commissioners, in March, 1532. Carrollton Town- ship bounds it on the north. Howard County on the east. Clinton County on the sonth. and Democrat Township on the west. The township is well drained by natural water courses. Wildeat Creek. the principal stream. flows west through the central por- tion: Bachelor's Run flows through the northern part. and Hurri- cane Branch through the western. while the Middle Fork of Wildcat Creek flows through the sonthwestern part. The soil is a rich loam, with an admixture of sand. It is very fortile and yields abundantly of the fruits and cereals common to this lati. tnde. Along Willeat Creek and in the northwestern portion of the township. the surface is broken by gently undulating land: in other parts of the township it is level. and. in some places. quite low and swampy, rendering artificial drainage necessary to a great extent. At the beginning of civilization within its borders. the settlers found the nonal varieties of timber-oak. ash. walnut. beech. sugar-maple, etc .. and among others the coffee-nnt tree. This variety of timber is now almost, or quite, extinet in this vicinity. It was a close-grained wood, somewhat resembling oak in its firm texture, and when thoroughly seasoned was so hard as to turn the edge of the best steel tools. It bore a berry in a pod closely resembling mix vonica, which was poisonous to the cattle. There are still large quantities of valable timber in the groves throughont the township, but by far the greater portion fell in the days of pioneer history. when a few rugged and brave fami- lies penetrated these wilds for the purpose of transforming them into farms and homes, and the timber was sacrificed For cleared fields, regardless of the value which future years would place npon it. SETTLEMENT. After the lapse of more than half a century. it is difficult to state, with the assurance of accuracy, who was the first white settler within the presout boundary of Burlington, as the history of its early settlement is chiefly a matter confined to the memory of its oldest surviving inhabitants. It is stated by Dr. Samuel Ander- son that. as early as the year 1827. Mahlon Shinn. George Har. ness and David Ewing came here with their families and began the nsnal labors of the pioneer. From this statement. it seems evident that these families were here some time before they pur- chased the lands npon which they lived. as the tract-book does not record the entry of land by them until several years later. From this record it appears that George Harness entered land in Section 15, in October. 1830: David Ewing entered land in Section 22. in October, 1831, and Mahkom Shin in Section 35. in February. 1830. It was not mumsnal in the early days for settlers to hold their lands by the right of pre-emption (otherwise known as the " squatter's title") until they were ready to par- chase. This, it would seem. was the case with the gentlemen here adinded to. Accompanying David Ewing were his son Lewis and family and Samnel Arthur and family -the last ummed from North Carolina, while the Ewings came From Union County. Ind. Arthur was a preacher of that order of Baptists donominated " Ironsides." Ho possessed a remarkable memory, but was quite illiterate. He held religions meetings at various cabins in the settlement. but the denomination be represented never formed an organization in the townshp. Arthur gave his attention chiefly to clearing and improving his farm. upon which he resided until death. The same is true of those who came with him to the township. The Farm upon which Mahlon Shin first located is now owned and occupied by his heirs, while the Harness farm is now owned and occupied by William Harness. the son of the original proprietor. In 1929. Philip Rinker came to the township with his broth ers, Joseph and Washington. Joseph entered the land now owned by Robert Johnson, and Washington entered a tract of land now owned by Manchas Johnson. After partially clearing their lands. the Rinkers sokl out and removed to the West. Philip constructed a rude sort of a grist-milf as early as 1530 or 131. This was among the earliest mills on Wildeat and the only one on that stream in Carroll County, except the Adams mill. in Democrat Township. Sammel Gwinn came to the township soon after the Rinker brothers, and entered land adjoining theirs. He cleared and im proved his farm. and died in the township. In 1930. William F. Gearhart emne from North Carolina and entered land in Section 33. He removed to Howard County. Ind .. after clearing a part of his Farm. and took part in the pioneer struggles of that comy. Jacob Brown came from Union County. Ind. in 1832, and. in October of the same year, entered land in Section 2. Here he cleared and improved a farm. upon which he resided until death. William Smith settled in the town ship in the spring of !532. with a family of six children, of which number James C. is the only one new living in this conty. He had visited this locality at an earlier date, and on that occasion purchased his land and created a cabin for his family. He was compelled to eat a road through the woods for his wagon, and to place logs in the swamps to avoid sinking in the mnd. With the nsnal experiences of the frontiersman. he began work here, and, in the course of time, developed a time farm. He died in the township in 1869. William C. Ewing came in IS33. and entered land in Section 22. After clearing his farm and cultivating it for a few years. he removed to Clinton County. Ind .. where he probably remained until death. Edmund Moss came in Angust. 1834. from Union County. Ind. He entered the land upon which he has ever since resided, having, in the meantime, converted it into a fine farm. One month after the arrival of Mr. Moss. William Runyon and Stephen Harmon moved into the township, settling upon tracts 270 HISTORY OF CARROLL COUNTY. of land which they had previously purchased. Both cleared and improved their farms. Mr. Runyon died in the township and Mr. Harmon still occupies his farm. William Stockton, a former resident of Ross County, Ohio, was among the settlers of 1834. In Ohio he had kept a tavern and engaged in the same business here. The Michigan rond was then the great thoroughfare be- tween Madison and Michigan City, Ind., and the proprietors of honses of entertainment derived a goodly profit from travelers along this highway. Stockton's was the relay-house, where the stage-horses were kept, and thus enjoyed a distinction from the niuerons houses along the road bearing the notice "Entertain- ment." His son John was long a driver of one of the stages on this ronte, and his son William drove the mail hack after the stages had been withdrawn. The old homestead is now occupied by James and Barker Stockton. their father having cultivated the farm until he died. Up to 1835. it is comparatively an easy task to mention the names, of the prominent settlers of the township in chronological order. Subsequent to that date, however, the arrival of now families was of almost daily occurrence, and in a detailed list of names, some would unavoidably be omitted. We can therefore only mention such names as we have been able to learn. Jesse Curtis settled in Section 4 in 1835: Andrew Gwinn settled in the saine section toward the close of that year: Joseph Kingery settled in Section 5 in 1835: Sanmel Gwin in Section 7 and George Davis and Jamos Beatty in the same section later in that year. Other settlers of 1835 were Andrew Beck. Thomas Crom- well. David Powers, Elnathan Davis, Hiram Shaffer. Thomas Stoops, John Creits, John Trent. John Eikenberry, John Kelley, Robert Williams. Jacob Staley. Josiah W. Chatham. Abraham Zink and others. From this date we rely for additional names npon the follow- ing record of land purchases, obtained from the tract hook. This record, while it contains the names of many who were not settlers in the township. is nevertheless interesting, since it shows by whom the varions tracts of land were entered. Following are the names of purchasers: Section 2-Jolm Bandy. November 14. 1830; Joseph Morrison. Octo- ber 24, 1832; John Gwinn. November 22. 1233; John Dunkin, November 26. 1834; Joshua Dunkin.
