trunk lines of the present day and George H. Dunn and others favoring the project were thought by many to be dreamers only. Looking back at it from the present it is easily seen that if the railway had been pushed to completion at that time it would have redounded to the advantage of Lawrenceburg more than can even now be estimated. To show the interest taken in the project at that time and that Lawrenceburg had the usual per cent. of objectors in those days; there is appended here the doings of the town selectmen of the time :

A DIVISION OF SENTIMENT.

"Thursday, June 2, 1835. Council met pursuant to adjournment. Pres- ent, D. V. Cully, president; J. W. Hunter, D. Nevitt, George Tousey, James M. Darragh and John Saltmarsh. Mr. Hunter, from committee on tax, re- ported the assessment as made by and under the authority of the marshal amounting to two hundred and twenty-two thousand four hundred and eighty- seven dollars, and same was considered formal and accepted by council. Mr. Hunter presented the proceedings of a meeting of a respectable portion of the citizens of the town of Lawrenceburg held May 22, 1835, requesting the coun- cil to subscribe a certain portion of stock to enable the Lawrenceburg & In- dianapolis Railroad Company to construct said railroad within the limits of said town, which, with a remonstrance presented by J. M. Darragh, signed by L. W. Johnson and others, after having been read were laid on the table and ordered spread on the minutes. Minutes of a meeting of the citizens of Lawrenceburg, as presented by J. W. Hunter to the select council, as follows : "'On motion of Major J. P. Dunn it was unanimously resolved that George H. Dunn, Esquire, preside over the meeting and Arthur St. Clair Vance act as secretary of said meeting. On motion of J. P. Dunn it was re- solved unanimously, the question being taken by the ayes and nays of all the citizens present; that the select Council of our town be requested to subscribe three thousand three hundred and fifty dollars of stock in the Lawrenceburg & Indianapolis Railroad Company, to be paid in four installments-six, twelve, eighteen and twenty-four months from the 28th of last February-on the same principle some individual subscriptions have been received, and that the money be applied within the corporation of Lawrenceburg ; and that the ayes and nays of the citizens present be required.

"'On motion of Isaac Dunn, resolved that a committee of ten be ap- pointed to go round among the citizens and obtain the sense of the citizens on the subject of the foregoing resolution; and the meeting adjourned sine die. George H. Dunn, chairman; Arthur St. Clair Vance, secretary.

" 'To the president and select council of the town of Lawrenceburg-Wc, the undersigned citizens of the town of Lawrenceburg, do respectfully repre- sent to your honorable body that we have understood that you have been re- quested by a part of the citizens to subscribe, in the name of the corporation, the sum of three thousand three hundred and fifty dollars shares of stock in the Lawrenceburg & Indianapolis Railroad Company, for the pur- pose of commencing the embankment for said railroad at a point from said town of Lawrenceburg. 'We therefore respectfully request your honor- able body not to subscribe for any stock until the survey shall be completed, its location fixed and the estimates reported. (Signed). L. W. Johnson, F.

ADDITIONS TO THE CITY.

The original plat of the town of Lawrenceburg comprised all that por- tion of the present city that lies between Mulberry Row, as it was then called,

to Elm Row on the east, and Partition Lane on the north, to the Ohio river. Besides. this there were north of Partition Lane, extending along the entire north of the town, out lots numbering from 21 to 55. As the years sped and other promoters saw opportunities, other plats or additions were added to the town. The first attempt of the kind was done with the idea of laying out an- other and a separate town. Pinckney James, afterwards of Rising Sun, about 1809, purchased the land where that part of the city of Lawrenceburg called Newtown lies, and platted it. He gave the name of Edenborough to his proposed town, and meeting with no demand for lots, in the year 1811 sold the ground to Stephen Ludlow, George Weaver, John Weaver and Thomas Porter .. This included the pond and on this side of the depression to Tate street. The exact description was from Tate street in a direct line to the meanderings of Tanners creek, to a point where the north line of the old graveyard struck it, thence east to where the old fence north and south used to divide the new addition from the city dirt lot. Isaac Dunn being elected a member of the Legislature then meeting at Corydon, got the town of Eden- borough vacated. But some years afterwards a demand being found for lots in that locality, Stephen Ludlow, who was already a large lot owner in the original town of Lawrenceburg, had the old plat, with the exception of the two southern tiers of lots, re-recorded, and reinstated as a town under the stat- ute and then incorporated as an addition to the town of Lawrenceburg. The new addition consisted of lots from I to 128 and provided for a park and a lot for school purses. The re-recording of the plat was done on April 6, 1819.

It was several years after this plat was filed before other additions were added. In 1831 was added what was called Elliott's addition, which was a few lots at the foot of Elm street. In 1835 Elliott added several more in the same locality. In 1835, Stephen Ludlow filed a plat for the extension of Short street to the wharf. In: 1839 W. T. Chappell made an addition laying off some lots extending from Short street north of Center. Guard, Dunn and Gibson's addition was also added about the same time. Other additions were Morgan and Spooner's, Enoch B. John's, Daniel S. Major's first and second additions; David Guard and Jabez Percival's addition, Pius Frederick's ad- dition; Eichelberger and Lewis' addition; Omer Tousey's addition and George H. Dunn's addition, Ross's addition, Ludlow's extension and Hornberger's ad- dition.

In the original plat it was provided that a cemetery was to be laid out at the west end of High street, joining Mulberry Row. This was used for a number of years, but the plat filed by Isaac Dunn in April, 1819, provided for

a cemetery which seemed to be a better location : and the first burying ground was in later years abandoned, and the latter was used for that purpose until the new cemetery of Greendale was laid out in 1867. Since that time the burials in the old cemetery have gradually ceased until now it is only occasion- ally that a burial is made there. The flood of recent years has inundated it and the monuments have been badly wrecked, which further hastened its aban- donment as a cemetery.

EARLIER INDUSTRIES.

The blacksmith, the carpenter and joiner, the shoemaker and the tailor, represented, in general, the manufacturing interests of Lawrenceburg up to the decade between 1830 and 1840. During that period internal improvements became the watchword in the state and was an issue between the political parties of the time. The building of the Whitewater canal and the unsuccess- ful attempt of George H. Dunn and others to build the Lawrenceburg & In- dianapolis railway, together with the advent of the state bank. aroused among the people a great interest in their ability to manufacture articles in a larger way for the trade. It was realized that the town possessed advantages as a distributing point and at once the manufacturing interests were stimulated. About the first to engage in it was Enoch D. John, who erected a flouring- mill at the foot of Elm street, where he availed himself of the water power derived from the wasteway of the canal. In connection with Dr. C. G. W. Comegys, afterwards of Cincinnati, he built a three-hundred-barrel flour- mill. A small distillery that would make two barrels of whiskey per week was erected, in 1809, near the present site of the W. P. Squibb & Company plant, by Isaac Dunn and Stephen Ludlow. This concern seems to have been aban- doned in a short time. The Hobbs distillery was destroyed by fire in 1839, but was rebuilt by Hobbs & Craft soon after. It was again destroyed by fire in 1850 and never rebuilt. Other distilleries have since been erected and run very successfully, until today Lawrenceburg is known far and wide as one of the most successful locations for the manufacture of alcohol and spir- its in the country.

OTHER MANUFACTURING PLANTS.

The manufacture of furniture was, for a period, an important part of the manufacturing interests of the city. The E. B. Dobell Furniture Company, with a manufacturing plant in Greendale and warerooms in Lawrenceburg, was established in 1863. It was destroyed by fire in 1873, but was rebuilt at once and continued in operation for ten years longer, when Mr. Dobell get- ting old, retired. The Miami Valley Furniture Company, with a capital stock

of twenty thousand dollars, which was afterwards increased to forty thousand dollars, was organized in 1868. The stockholders were George Hodel, Jr., John Christena, Henry F. Wencke, Adam Schleicher, George Schleicher, Gus- tav Schoenberger, Herman H. Woehla, John F. Sembach. Philip Dexheimer, George Hodel, Sr., Johann J. Hauck, Samuel Dickinson, John Bookster, Levin B. Lewis and Alexander Beckman. The officers of the company were George Hodel, Jr., president; Harris Bateman, secretary; Levin B. Lewis, treasurer. The company erected the extensive building now a part of the James & Meyer Buggy Company's plant, and continued a successful business until about the year 1888, when it discontinued.

The Lawrenceburg Furniture Company was organized on February 13, 1868, and had at its start a capital stock of seven thousand dollars. This was increased to sixty-three thousand two hundred and fifty dollars in 1876, by successive votes of the directory. The officers when first organized were Con- rad Sanders, president; Chris Lommel, secretary and treasurer; Frederick Kleinhans, superintendent. This concern continued in business until along in the nineties, when it too closed out.

The Dearborn Furniture Company was organized in 1873 with a capital stock of eighteen thousand dollars. It erected a three-story building on the lot that had formerly belonged to the father of W. T. Durbin (W. S. Dur- bin), now the property of the G. H. Bishop Saw Works. This plant was in business only a few years, when it dissolved, and the factory was used by the Lawrenceburg Chair Company. It continued for only a short time and was purchased by the George H. Bishop & Company, saw manufacturers, who have used it as part of their plant ever since.

The Miami Stove Works was located at the upper end of William street, between the tracks of the Big Four and the Baltimore & Ohio railways. It was established by Samuel L. Yourtee & Company. The city of Lawrenceburg donated to this concern twenty-seven thousand dollars. Shortly after it was erected the firm made an assignment and a stock company purchased the plant, with Fred Naeher, president; John E. Warneford, vice-president; Benjamin Ruthman, secretary. The concern was very prosperous for a time, employing ed as many as one hundred and fifty men, but misfortune overtook them and they closed out. The plant was shortly afterward taken over by A. D. Cook, as a place for manufacturing well supplies. The main building burned and Mr. Cook removed his plant to Greendale. The buildings were sold to the Batesville Veneer and Lumber Company, who now occupies it.

Cigar factories were a source of much commercial business to the city during the decade ending with 1880. Jacob Rief & Brother ran a large fac-

tory for the manufacture of cigars on the corner of Walnut and New streets. They commenced business in September, 1869, and continued it until about 1885, when it was gradually discontinued. William Huber commenced the manufacture of cigars in 1866. He continued the business very profitably for several years but gradually closed out, and several years before his death. in 1905, had entirely discontinued the manufacture.

The Lawrenceburg Woolen Mill Company was organized in February, 1866, with a capital of fifty thousand dollars. Its president was E. S. Blas- del; secretary, E. D. Moore; directors, E. C. Hayes, Walter Hayes, John H. Gaff, Isaac Dunn, E. S. Blasdel, Levin B. Lewis and C. B. Burkam. They purchased the site opposite the court house and erected the present three-story building. The venture proved unprofitable and it suspended in 1870.

The Lawrence Gas Works was organized in 1868 with a capital stock of twenty-eight thousand six hundred dollars. Its first board of directors was John H. Gaff, Theodore Gazlay, Omer T. Stockman, Zephaniah Heustis, Andrew A. Helfer, J. Giphard, J. B. Shephard and John Hornberger. The first gas was used for lighting the city, October 12, 1868. This concern was several years ago taken over by the present management.

CEMETERIES.

When Captain Vance laid out the city of Lawrenceburg he stated in his filing that he had provided for a cemetery adjacent to the plat and adjoining it to the south and west. This was the cemetery at the west end of High street, just below Mulberry. It was used as a burial place from the time the town was laid out until after the addition of Newtown was added by Isaac Dunn. Even after that, and until as late as 1840 and perhaps later, the site was used. But it gradually came into disuse and the cemetery in Newtown was the burying ground up until the time when Greendale cemetery was incorporated in 1865. Since that the Newton cemetery has also gradually been aban- doned, until at present only a few of the lot owners bury there. The Newtown cemetery, it was found, was subject to overflow, and on that account was not desirable for a burying place for the dead. Yet the early residents are all buried there. The tombstone of Capt. Samuel C. Vance can be found in a conspicuous place. The floods of recent years have wrecked many of the monuments and few of those buried have descendants to look after them.

On account of the smallness of the Newtown cemetery and its being subject to overflow, the citizens of Lawrenceburg, as the place grew in wealth,

population and importance, saw that a larger and more desirable location was needed. Accordingly a number of the citizens of Lawrenceburg organ- ized and purchased thirty acres of ground from Joseph Hayes north of the town of Greendale (now a part of the village) ; on a beautifully located high bottom overlooking the valley. It was tastefully laid out by Benjamin Grove, an engineer from Louisville, Kentucky, and the landscape planning was done by a Mr. Ihle, who was an artist in such matters. The articles of association of the original incorporation in their first two sections state the object as follows :

"Section I. Under the laws of the state of Indiana, Ezra G. Hayes, Andrew A. Helfer, Edward D. Moore, Thomas J. Lucas, Myron H. Hard- ing, Omer T. Stockman, William Eichelberger, George Huschart, Zephaniah Heustis, John Ferris, Kendal M. Lewis, Henry H. Meyer, Levin B. Lewis, E. Sparks Blasdel, John H. Gaff, Joseph H. Burkam, Alexander Beckman, DeWitt C. Fitch, John Anderegg, Theodore Gazlay and Daniel S. Major, agree to associate themselves together, and they, or their successors, are hereby associated as a body politic, a perfect corporation under the name and title of the Greendale Cemetery for providing within appropriate dis- tance of the City of Lawrenceburg, Dearborn county, Indiana, suitable grounds for the burial of the dead.

"Section 2. The distinct and irrevocable principle in which this asso- ciation is founded, and to remain forever, except as hereinafter allowed, is that the entire funds arising from the sale of burial lots and the proceeds of any investments of said funds shall be, and they are specifically dedicated, to the purchase and improvement of the grounds for the cemetery; and keeping them durably and permanently inclosed and in perpetual repair for all future time; including all incidental expenses for approach to the cemetery and the proper management of the same, and that no part of such funds shall, as dividends or profit in any manner, inure to the corporators."

The desirability of the location and the taste with which it was laid out, together with the strict management, has made it a very desirable place for the burial of the dead; and the citizens of Dearborn county, that live conveniently near have purchased lots from the association and bury their dead here. It has been counted one of the most beautiful spots for burial purposes in the county. The first person buried in the new location was Hugh F. Smith, who was laid away on September 19, 1867.

Each year the incorporators of this cemetery elect, from their number, a board of managers consisting of seven members. They in turn organize by

electing a president, secretary and treasurer. The first board of managers was elected on August 25, 1866, and were E. G. Hayes, T. J. Lucas, A. Beck- man, John Anderegg, A. A. Helfer, O. T. Stockman and D. W. C. Fitch. They organized by electing E. G. Hayes, president; Henry H. Meyer, secre- tary, and Omer T. Stockman, treasurer. One of the local papers of the time had this to say in regard to the incorporation of the cemetery :

"The necessity of this community is a first class cemetery. Experience has taught us not to establish cemeteries on too small a scale, or in localities where it is neither possible nor desirable to extend them. The cemetery for this community must be commenced large enough; must have proper man- agement, and must be established upon a plan making it perpetual. . The Greendale Cemetery Association has been called into existence for this pur- pose. The articles of association, as published, will give as good an an idea of its object as can be given. The citizens of Lawrenceburg and vicinity are now being called upon to assist with their means in this undertaking. Let none stand back, but let each do all that is in his power to make this cemetery a success. All that is necessary is to raise sufficient means to buy the place, and pay for surveying and laying it off into lots; when a sale of lots will enable the board of managers to go ahead with the improvements. All monies subscribed will be considered as a loan to the association, bearing six per cent. interest, and the amounts so subscribed may be applied to the purchase of lots. A more desirable location cannot be found. The soil is dry and of a sandy quality and the surface slightly undulating. The dis- tance from the city is about a mile and a half, just about far enough."

The association spent nearly twenty-two thousand dollars in the pur- chase of grounds and ornamenting and laying out the same. Yet in the report of 1880 an indebtedness of only three hundred and sixty-four dollars and one cent was reported. This was all paid the next year. The present corporators of the cemetery are Jacob M. Bauer, A. D. Cook, P. J. Emmert, WV. S. Fagaly, George Fahlbush, E. G. Hayes, E. P. Hayes, WV. N. Hauck, J. F. Hornberger, Frank J. Henn, Henry Hodell, O. S. Jaquith, George Kunz, Omer T. Ludlow, W. H. O'Brien, Victor Oberting, John Stahl, George H. Wood and George Willers. The board of managers are J. M. Bauer, P. J. Emmert, O. T. Ludlow, A. D. Cook, Henry Hodell, W. H. O'Brien and George Kunz. The president is Omer T. Ludlow; secretary, Archibald Shaw; treasurer, William H. O'Brien. E. G. Hayes, venerable and vigorous. the first president of the organization in 1866, is now, at the age of eighty-eight, the president of the board of corporators. The concern

has been managed well and its financial condition such that it will be able to perpetuate itself as the years go by. On the 18th of August, 1915, there had been forty-one hundred and eighteen burial permits issued and that many persons had been laid away in this city of the dead.
