HISTORY OF WAYNE COUNTY.


SUPPLEMENT.


[A considerable amount and variety of matter was received after much more space than was assigned to the history had been filled. Wayne township and Richmond having' been last canvassed, they furnish most of the matter of these sup- plementary pages. Omissions in a few other townships are here supplied.]


DRY GOODS MERCHANTS .- Ralph A. Paige, in 1847, com- menced the mercantile business, which he still continues at the south-west corner of Main and Marion streets. He is said to have been longer continuously in trade, from the present time past, than any other dry goods merchant in the city.


Wm. Petchel, in 1847, the same year as Mr. Paige, com- menced the same business, on north side of Main street, be- tween Front and Pearl, and has for ten years past occupied his present place, 246 Main street.


Joshua W. Haines, in January, 1851, bought of John Haines his stock of goods, and still continues an extensive trade, south side of Main street, near Pearl.


Richard Jackson, formerly in trade in Cincinnati and In- dianapolis, established business in Richmond, in 1853, which, either alone or in partnership, he has continued successfully to the present tinie.


Daniel B. Crawford, with Wm. C. Scott, commenced the dry goods trade in 1850, at "old No. 8," now 190 Main street, and continued in the business about nine years. In 1864, he resumed business, which he still continues at 242 Main street.


Emswiler & Crocker established, in 1860, a wholesale and retail trade in notions and toys, which is still continued by A. E. Crocker & Co., north side of Main street, between Pearl and Marion.


Andrew M. Miller came to Richmond about 18 years ago, and established a clothing store, and after several years en- gaged also in the boot and shoe trade, which he still con- tinues at 264 Main street. In 1864 he discontinued the

clothing business, and engaged largely in the tobacco and cigar trade, which he still continues on Fort Wayne avenue. He is among the successful business men of the city.


GROCERS .- Clayton Hunt, formerly and for many years a mechanic in Richmond, commenced business as a grocer in 1860, at 253 Main street. From 1866 to 1868, the firm was C. Hunt & Sons ; from the latter date to the present, Hunt Brothers.


Thomas Nestor has for many years been in the grocery trade. He commenced in 1853 on Main street, between Washington and Front streets, and for the last sixteen years has occupied his present place, south-east corner of Front and Main.


George W. Barnes engaged in the grocery business, about twenty years ago, as a member of the firm of Lynde & Barnes. The business has since been for many years conducted by George W. Barnes & Co .; and, since the decease of his late partner, E. W. Yarrington, by himself alone, at 223 and 225 Main street. He cures about 20,000 hams annually, and deals largely in flaxseed and grass seeds.


BOOKSELLERS .- James Elder established a book and sta- tionery store, in 1846, second door east of the Citizens' Bank, and removed, in 1868, to his present stand, 255 Main street. He is the oldest bookseller in the city.


Timothy and John Nicholson, from North Carolina, suc- ceeded Wm. E. Smith, in 1860, in the book trade. Since the year 1869, they have occupied their present spacious store- room in the Odd Fellows' building, where they are pursuing an extensive trade in books and stationery. They have also a book-bindery.


Oliver White, in 1866, engaged in the book trade, with W. H. Lanthurn. After the withdrawal of the latter, John E. Hale became a partner. The business has since been con- tinued under the firm name of O. White & Co. until the present time. [Mr. White retired on the 1st of January, 1872; and the business is conducted by J. E. Hale & Co., at the same place, on Main street, between Franklin and Fifth.]


CHARTER OAK PORK HOUSE .- This establishment was com- menced in the winter of 1853-4, by William Wiggins and


448


HISTORY OF WAYNE COUNTY.


Wm. S. Reid, for buying and slaughtering pork. On the death of Mr. Wiggins soon after, Jeremy Mansur joined Mr. Reid. Mansur & Reid carried on the business until 1861 or 1862, when Mr. Mansur retired, and G. W. Vanneman, C. C. Beeler, and John P. Smith became partners of Mr. Reid ; since which time the business has been continued under the firm name of Vanneman, Reid & Co. In 1867, this estab- ment took the name of " Charter Oak Pork House." It has the capacity to slaughter and take care of about 900 hogs a day, or about 20,000 in a season, lasting about 20 days. The average number actually handled within the last three years, prior to 1870, was about 14,000 a year, and the value of the pork annually slaughtered and sold, about $250,000. This establish- ment was a few years ago destroyed by fire, but was promptly rebuilt. Nearly 20,000 were slaughtered in 1870, and in the season of 1871, 20,638.


GAS WORKS .- In July, 1854, a charter was obtained by Charles Collier for the Richmond Gas Light and Coke Com- pany. The company was organized in June, 1855, with a capital of $25,000. Its stockholders were Charles Collier, Robert Morrisson, Wm. Cain, John T. Plummer, and Wm. R. Webster. John T. Plummer was its first president; Wm. R. Webster, secretary ; Wm. Cain, treasurer. The works were built by Charles Collier, and completed in December, 1855. In December, 1856, they were leased to Starr & White, [James M. Starr and Benj. C. White,] who carried on the business for about thirteen years. A new charter was granted in February, 1870, for the term of five years. James M. Starr, president ; Benj. Starr, secretary. These works supply 91 street lamps, and upward of 700 private consumers. The re- ceipts for gas in 1870 were about $19,000.


PLANING MILL, ETC .- William Cain, for many years a lum- ber dealer in the city, built, in 1870, with his sons, T. P. and William, a planing mill on Fort Wayne avenue, where, in connection with the lumber trade, they manufacture sash, blinds, flooring, scrolls, moldings, etc.


STEAM BAKERY .- Daniel K. & Joseph S. Zeller, in 1866, succeeded Bradbury, Strattan & Co., in the steam bakery on Sixth street, and in 1869 erected the building they now oe-


449

cupy, Nos. 357 and 359, where they bake the various articles in the baker's line, but more especially crackers, of which they make about 35 barrels a day. [B. F. Crawford, proprie- tor of Whitewater Mills, became a partner of the Zellers the first of January, 1872.]


IIOTEI 3 .- The Huntington House, elsewhere noticed, has re- cently been. again repaired and improved, and is at present occu- pied by Joseph H. Githens.


The Tremont House, corner of Main and Fifth streets, built by Charles W. Starr, in 1838, was for several years kept as the "Starr House," by Maria Hurlbut, and from 1846 to 1854, by its owner, C. W. Starr. It has for several years past been kept by its present proprietor, John Elliott.


The Avenue House, on Fort Wayne avenue, near the rail- road depot, was erected, in 1864, by Jacob Goehner. Himself and Gottleib Lichtenfels were its first proprietors. In 1869, it was re-opened by Joseph H. Githens and Henry Ricks. In April, 1871, Mr. Githens was succeeded by its present proprie- tor, J. B. Curtis.


The Phillips House, on North Marion street, near Main, was opened in 1871, as a hotel, by J. S. Nixon.


CASCADE GARDEN AND NURSERY .- Edward Y. Teas came to Richmond in 1863, and commenced the business of nursery- man and florist, which he continues to carry on successfully. Besides cultivating a vast variety of fruit and ornamental trees, vines, flowering plants and shrubs, he imports many trees, plants, and seeds, and supplies the nursery and flower trade in many of the states. His office and greenhouses are at 255 South Pearl street; his nursery, one mile south, on the Liberty turnpike ; and his seed store and horticultural depot, at 295 Main street.


Gardner Mendenhall resides one mile and a half east from Richmond, on a highly cultivated piece of land, on which are a nursery and a greenhouse. His grounds are tastefully laid out and ornamented, and his residence is styled, and not inappropriately, " Sylvan Heights."


RICHMOND MEDICAL AND SURGICAL SANITARIUM .- This institu- tion is about a mile south-east from the city. A school called " Green Mount College" was established here by John 31

Haines, and continued for about five years. It was then sold to Dr. James E. Gross, who fitted it up for a water cure, styled " Green Mount Retreat," and occupied it as such for about five years, having greatly improved the grounds and buildings. This property has recently been purchased by Dr. E. Small, of Boston, Mass., and elegantly fitted up; and is to be devoted, in future, to the medical and surgical treatment of diseases peculiar to women. It is a healthful and inviting home for the invalid.

Swallow, who is said to have had a very extensive practice, and died in 1849, at the early age of thirty-three. After him came Dr. John Cleveland, who also is said to have been a successful practitioner, now residing at Centerville. He was followed by Moses G. Mitchell, of Ohio, now a Uni- versalist preacher, residing in Abington. Present physicians- John Q. A. Robbins, and James E. Swallow, son of John M. Swallow, above mentioned.
