Cemeteries .- Greenfield has two cemeteries, and has had none others. The first, now known as the "Old cemetery," was donated to Hancock county by Andrew P. Jackson, May 9, 1843, and located south-east of the original plat of the town of Greenfield. It is not very large, and, consequently, has been about full for several years. The first burial here was Docia Spillman, a daugh- ter of Benjamin Spillman, who died in September, 1828, aged fourteen years. Here lie slumbering the men who cleared the forests, and established the little county-seat that should become the future city of Greenfield. Here lies buried much of the early history of Greenfield and the country surrounding. Here, beneath moss-covered mon- uments, lie the business men and their companions of forty and fifty years ago. Dear to the memory of many is this sacred spot, around which clusters fond memories and hal- lowed associations of other days. Sacred, solemn place ! Stranger, step gently over her unmarked graves-

the ungrateful neglect of their mortal remains. In 1868, March 3, the county commissioners deeded the Old cem- etery to the city of Greenfield, which now has the man- agement and control of the same.
The New cemetery was purchased by the city of Green- field, April 28, 1863, for $450, and surveyed and entered of record the 30th day of June, 1865, and consisted of a little over six acres It is located in the south-east part of the city, due south of the Old cemetery. It is laid out into blocks, lots, streets and alleys, with a circle in the centre. It has four blocks and four hundred and twenty- one lots. The south-east block is only partially divided into lots, but left for a common burying-ground. It has a drive way around it, and across it at right angles, and is reached by a well graded and graveled street. The plan of the grounds is good ; but the drives, or streets, are unmade, and the grounds unkept, save in a careless, par- simonious manner unbecoming the dignity of the city.
FIRST LOG CABIN IN GREENFIELD.
Early History .- The land from which Greenfield was carved was entered in 1826 and '27 by the donors aforesaid. The town was laid out in the woods by Jared Chapman, the county agent, who was authorized to sell and convey on behalf of the county all unreserved lots. The first lot sold was to John Anderson, the deed bearing date of June 4, 1828. The first to settle on the town site were Cornwell Meek, Morris Pierson, Dr. Lot Edwards, William Carr,
180

and Lewis Tyner. The first business house in Greenfield was built by John Justice, some time prior to the organi- zation of the city. It was a primitive structure, made by settling posts in the ground, and weather-boarding and covering with clapboards. The first frame building was erected in 1830, by Benjamin Spillman. The first dwell- ings, like the stores, were also cheap, rude structures, made of poles, and the better ones of hewed logs. A few years later saw-mills became more plentiful and con- venient, when small frames superseded the primitive cabin. The first frame of any note was built by James Hamil- ton (Moses W. Hamilton's father) as a two-story tavern stand, located near where the Guymon house now stands. The next was erected by Jonathan Dunbar on the oppo- site side of the street, and is a part of the Walsh property. A little later was erected the Gooding corner, a portion of the lumber of which was sawed by hand with a whipsaw. This building was used as a tavern, and was the finest frame of the town at the time. East of it, on the north- west corner of the public square, was a pond from three to five feet deep, used by travelers to wash off their horses. It was afterwards drained by a blind ditch, passing out north-east under Hart & Thayer's store.
The first courts were held in a log house located a lit- tle south of the Gooding corner. The papers were kept in boxes and barrels, and stowed away miscellaneously. without much, if any, classification.
Postoffice .- The amount of postal matter at that date was very limited, scarcely sufficient to justify the keeping of an office ; indeed, it is said that for a time while Joseph Chapman was working for " Uncle Sam " as postmaster he carried the postoffice and its contents in his hat, as a con- venience to the public and himself. There need have been no complaint of " posting bills," crowding, loud talking and smoking in the postoffice in those halcyon days.
Sidewalks .- The sidewalks up to this date were gen- erally made, if at all, by placing boards and plank either cross or lengthwise. Even up to the time of the civil war.
181
CENTER TOWNSHIP.
twenty years ago, there were but few brick sidewalks, and no gravel. It is said that Dr. N. P. Howard made the first brick sidewalk in the town.
First Business Bricks .- The first business brick in the town was built by Hugh Wooster and Cornwell Meek, recently torn down by Thomas Randall, and known as the Edwards drug store. The next, perhaps, was the Wil- liams brick, recently removed by Williams and Crawford, and built by Meredith Gosney. The Walker corner, at a little later date, was built by Wooster and Templin.
Private Residences .- About this date a few good resi- dences were erected. Among the first was a two-story frame by Dr. Lot Edwards. Later the A. J. Banks resi- dence, built by A. M. Patterson : the P. H. Boyd resi- dence, built and owned by Dr. B. F. Duncan ; the A. T. Hart residence, built by Cornwell Meek : the Dr. N. P. Howard. senior, residence, built by T. D. Walpole.
Other Buildings .- At the time of the building of the Banks brick by Patterson, he also erected the two-story frame on the corner, south, used as a stove store. Patter- son used it as a hatter shop. The Christian church, the oldest church building in town, was built about this time, long before the building of the court-house, and was used for about two years as a court-room. The county semi- nary was built in 1842, and a frame on the Catholic church lot in 1852. The court-house and Masonic hall were erected in 1854.
Remarks .- The plank road was built in 1852 and the railroad about 1853. Let the reader, in imagination, go back to 1854, a very important era in our history, and take a view of Greenfield. All the buildings mentioned above were built during, or prior to, that date. and most of them standing. There were then two churches-the Christian and Methodist ; the latter was not the present brick, but a frame due south, now used as a residence ; the Masonic hall was then new-the largest and grandest building in town ; the Catholic church building was then used as a school-house ; the most of the business houses then were
182

frames : the streets and sidewalks only partially graded. and none of them graveled.
Fires .- About 1839, the fire fiend fought furiously with Greenfield, destroying all the business portion on the north side of Main street between the tavern, located about where the Guymon house now stands, and State street. Several business men lost all their stock, A. T. Hart being one of them.
Previous to the building of the Walker corner. Joseph Chapman erected a three-story frame hotel (or tavern, as such buildings were then called), on the corner now occu- pied by said Walker brick, in which Elijah Knight was keeping tavern, and controlling a large frame stable, both of which were burned, and about fifteen horses were lost.
In 1857 another frightful fire raged in the town, destroy- ing all the buildings between Dr. Howard's residence and the Walker corner.
Among the other fires from time to time we note the complete destruction thereby of two flouring mills, two planing mills, one flax mill, one 'extensive pump factory, a woolen factory, a ware-house, a stable containing four horses, and several dwellings of more or less value.
It will be seen that Greenfield has had a full share of fires for the time, sufficient at least to give her liberal citi- zens a reasonable warning to provide ample protection. Greenfield to-day is unprepared for a big fire, like some that have visited her in the past, and is liable at any time to sustain a loss many times greater than the cost of an engine, cisterns, and other means of protection ; but we trust that she will not be "penny wise and pound foolish" always. History is of little practical use save as it teaches us lessons for the future ; and judging from the past history of our county-seat, we can't be too careful in providing a defense for the frightful fire fiend.
Incorporation as Town and City .- Greenfield was incor- porated as a town in 1854, and grew gradually, yet slowly. till 1867, when it took a stride forward and improved rap- idly in buildings and graveled streets, and increased pro-

portionately in population. She was incorporated as a city in 1876, with a population of 2,023.
Location .- It is handsomely located on the west side of Brandywine Creek, and from its location admits of easy drainage, and is laid out with broad and commodious streets at right angles, which afford an open view.
Streets and Sidewalks .- Prior to the close of the war there were few, if any, graveled streets in Greenfield : after that for a few years there was considerable graveling done, and but little grading. In 1876, after the incorpor- ation as a city, " she begun in earnest the grading and grav- eling of streets and sidewalks, and continued the same with unabated energy to the present. The first street thus made was Pennsylvania, by John R. Johnson, contractor. North State street was next made, by Thomas B. Miller. contractor : then Fourth street and Bradley street, by Com- stock : followed by Walnut street, South State street, South Pennsylvania street, Mechanic and Main streets, besides a number of alleys, by Faurot & Brown, contrac- tors. The sidewalks were in all these cases graded and graveled at the same time. The most extensive improve- ment of the time was the grading and graveling of Main street, the paving of her sidewalks, and bouldering of her gutters, the present season.
Synopsis .- Greenfield now has many handsome resi- dences, commodious business houses, and good public buildings, constructed in modern style. Outside of the county buildings, she has two substantial bank buildings and banks, three brick churches and one frame ; one large two-story brick school-house, with slate roof and stone foundation ; two flouring mills, three planing mills, one furniture factory, a flax factory, a heading factory, three saw-mills, an iron roof factory, one railroad, telegraph and express lines, three printing presses, four papers : lodges of Masons, Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias, Red Men,

Good Templars ; also, merchants, grocerymen, druggists, saloonists, mechanics, doctors, lawyers, preachers, teach- ers, editors, poets, eight pikes, and twenty-three additions, covering an area of one square mile.
First Doctors .- The first practitioners of the healing art were Drs. Lot Edwards, Leonard Bardwell, Jared Chapman, B. F. Duncan, Simon Alters, Hiram Comstock. R. E. Barnett and N. P. Howard, two of whom are still holding forth in Greenfield.
First Attorneys .- At the first term of court, on the 24th of March, 1828, there were admitted to the bar, on motion, Calvin Fletcher, Henry Gregg, Marinus Willett and Charles H. Verder; the most of whom, however, were non-residents. In 1846, the attorneys were: David M. C. Lane, J. H. Williams, T. D. Walpole and David S. Gooding.
Remarks .- At this date, 1846, which was prior to the time of the railroad, the Dayton and Indianapolis stage passed daily east and west through Greenfield. John Templin & Co. and A. T. Hart & Co. were the principal merchants. William Sebastian was postmaster.
First Business Men of Greenfield .- Among the first settlers and business men of Greenfield were John Justice, who had the first grocery store, some time prior to 1828; O. M. Ross, who had the first general store, also prior to 1828; William and Lewis Tyner had a store in 1828 ; and the following men were subsequently licensed to vend merchandise, as shown by the old records in the auditor's office, viz. : James Parker, James Hart, A. H. Freeman, Jared Chapman, Samuel Duncan, Joseph Chapman, Nathan Crawford, E. & R. Tyner, John Mongle, James Hamilton (father of Moses W. Hamilton), E. & D. Troxwell, Sam- uel C. Duncan, Robert Wilson, John Harris, C. S. Perkins, Joseph Andrews, John White (not Hon. John H.), Eli Gapen, Joseph Stallord, Dunbar & Clark, T. W. Smart, William Bussell (not the present William B.), Burton & Co., Milroy & Clark, Calvin McRay, Tyner & Chittenden, W. H. Curry and A. T. Hart. All of the above were
13

licensed previous to 1834. A. T. Hart, the last named of the above, was licensed in 1833. After this date we will note only a few, viz. : George Tague (father of Jonathan and G. G.), Cornwell Meek, Wooster & Wood. and Foley & Gooding.
First Taverns .- Prior to 1828, the date of the establish- ment of the county-seat, S. B. Jackson and Jeremiah Meek supplied the wants of the' traveling community at their taverns and stables, the former holding forth in the bottom, near Brandywine, and the latter in Greenfield. We have no record of their being licensed. John Branden was the first licensed tavern-keeper ; he held forth on the Gooding corner, followed by James Hart, then Asa Gooding, at the same stand. Elijah Knight held forth in a three-story frame, about the same time, on the opposite corner.
All of the above did business some time prior to 1840. We could trace the subject up to 1852, the date of the new constitution, at which time the license law for merchandis- ing and tavern-keeping ceased, but we deem it inexpedi- ent. From then on we have no official records to instruct us, but must depend on living witnesses mostly.

MASONIC LODGE, NO. 101.
February 14, 1849, the dispensation was issued by Elzur Deming, Grand Master, and A. W. Morris, Secretary, to the brethren at Greenfield. The following are the original officers and members under said dispensation : James Rutherford, W. M. ; Harry Pierson, S. W. ; J. R. Bracken, J. W. ; George Tague, Orlando Craine, James Shipman, Nathan D. Coffin and Morris Pierson, members. The first initiation was that of Dr. R. E. Barnett. A charter was granted to Lodge No. 101, by the Grand Lodge, on the 28th of May, 1850. The lodge was organized under the charter on the 20th of the following June. The officers were : James Rutherford, W. M. ; Harry Pierson, S. W. ; J. R. Bracken, J. W. ; Morris Pierson, Treasurer ; John Templin, Secretary ; R. E. Barnett, S. D. : Jonathan Ralls, J. D. ; E. D. Chittenden, Tyler.
Prior to 1854 the lodge had no building of their own, but held forth for a time in the old seminary building. During this year the lodge, having grown in size and wealth, began the erection of a handsome three-story brick building, the most commodious in the town. The corner stone was laid with appropriate ceremonies by Deputy Grand Master Elijah Newlin, on the 15th of August, 1854.
