JOEL PENNINGTON was born in Huntingdon county, Pa., February 11, 1799. Ile removed to Springboro', Ohio, in 1818, where he married Ann Matthews, September 8, 1820. HIe studied medicine at Springboro' and Centerville; took his first course of lectures in 1832 or 1833, and graduated at Ohio Medical College in 1847. IIe settled at Milton in Octo- ber, 1825, where he has practiced his profession with success for forty-six years.

WAYNE TOWNSHIP.


Wayne was one of the six townships formed after the adoption of the first state constitution. It probably con- tained about one-sixth part of the territory of the county. In forming Union county, in 1819, the greater part of ITarri- son was taken into that county, and the remainder was after- ward annexed to Wayne township. By the formation of Boston and Abington, Wayne was reduced to its present dimensions. It is 7 miles wide on its south line, and about 62 miles on its north line, and is 8 miles in length, north and south, making an area of a little less than 55 square miles. It is watered, mainly, by the Whitewater river and its three branches, or forks. East Fork enters it centrally on its cast line ; Middle Fork near the north-east corner, and the two joining about half a mile above the city. The West Fork, from Randolph county, enters the township directly north from Richmond, and unites with the Whitewater just above the railroad bridge. The Elkhorn, from Ohio, crosses the south-east corner of the township. Short creek, a small stream, running a south-westerly direction, enters the White- water near the south line of the township. Lick creek. run-

WILLIAM BAXTER Was born in England, February 11, 1824; came to this country in 1848, and settled in Philadelphia. He engaged as book-keeper and cashier in a wholesale dry goods store, at $8 a week. By his unusual industry, application, and business capacity, he soon gained the unbounded con- fidence of his employers, and after the short space of eight months, one of the partners retiring from the firm, offered him a partnership in the wool trade, in which they continued about 15 years; his partner from time to time, unsolicited, increasing his share of the profits until they divided equally. They supplied, chiefly, New England and Germantown man- ufacturers. In 1864, he retired with an ample fortune, the reward of assiduous and careful attention to business. In 1864, he bought of James E. Reeves the farm originally en- tered and settled by John Charles, and afterward owned suc- cessively by Oliver Kinsey, Robert Morrisson, and Mr.

Reeves. He has expended on the farm and buildings, a sum nearly equal to the purchase money. About two-thirds of the farm have been thoroughly drained-the drains averaging about 3 feet in depth, and 24 feet apart. He has probably the most convenient arrangements for cooking food for cattle and swine in the state ; and he finds this the most economical way of feeding. As the result of these improvements he has already doubled the products per acre of a large proportion of his farm. His highest ambition is to make a model farm, and by successful experiment to stimulate the farmers of the county to the adoption of improved modes of agriculture. Mr. Baxter, several years before his removal to this place, married Mary Barker, an adopted daughter of Hugh Moffitt, by whom he has six children, five daughters and a son. He is a member of the society of Friends known as the White- water meeting.


THOMAS BULLA was born in Chester county, Pa., April 19, 1780, and while young, emigrated with his father to North Carolina, in the time of the Revolutionary war. At the age of 19, he married Mary Fouts, by whom he had two children, Lenore and Thomas. In the fall of 1804, he came with his family to Germantown, Ohio, where his father-in-law resided. They crossed the Ohio at Cincinnati, where he saw but three brick houses. In November, 1805, he started with six others in search of land. After ten days' journey and thirty miles travel with a two-horse team through the wilderness, cutting their road from Eaton, twelve miles, they camped half a mile south of where he afterward settled, 5 miles south- east of Richmond, near the south-east corner of Wayne township. Three of them, Jesse Davenport, Jacob Fouts and himself entered their lands. His wife dying in Septem- ber following, he deferred his removal until the last of De- cember, 1806, when, with his two children and a second wife, Susanna Mowery, he resumed house-keeping in his log cabin. Coming so soon after those of the Holman and Rue settle- ment, he and his neighbors were subjected to like privations and hardships. They had to pack their breadstuff's on horse- back from the settlements in Ohio, and take their first crops of grain into that state, a distance of 12 miles, to be ground.
