This brings the record of teachers for the Remington schools down to the present date. The foregoing is only the list of teachers in the public schools; no attention hav- ing been paid to private or subscription schools which may have been taught. In behalf of the Remington public schools we desire to state here that the School Trustees have invariably been exceedingly fortunate in securing first class teachers for all the various departments, and as a result, we now have, as every one will freely acknowledge, as fine a graded public school as can be found in any town of the State of Indiana or any other State in the Union, of a similar population in numbers, as has the town of Rem- ington, Indiana.

Remington Gas, Oil and Coal Co.


A BOUT the Ist of June, 1887, the citizens of Rem- ington and the country surrounding, became im- pressed with the idea that gas in paying quantities was underlying the town, and accordingly a sub- scription was raised for the purpose of prospecting for either gas, oil or coal. On the first subscription was raised one thousand dollars, mainly through the energetic efforts of Oliver B. McIntire, at that time one of the bankers of Remington. With this amount of money secured, a com- pany was organized, which was known as the "Remington Gas, Oil and Coal Co.," and this company at once made a contract with some experienced gas well diggers, from the gas belt of Indiana, in which these men undertook to bore one thousand feet for the one thousand dollars. This one thousand feet was duly bored without success, and the peo- ple and company being not satisfied with the result so far attained, arrangements were at once made for boring two or three hundred feet further; and this having been accom- plished and no gas, oil or coal having been discovered, the company became discouraged and ordered the works to be stopped at a depth of a little more than twelve hundred feet. The company spent in this enterprise, all told, about sixteen hundred dollars. They succeeded in getting an excellent well of water. The well was bored near the north end of Ohio street, on the east side, on property then owned by the Bruell heirs. The property on which this well was bored was afterward sold to I. D. Lucky, who built a residence on it, and now occupies it. The parties boring this well were John Foresay, J. Pollock and Wm. Bishop.

Remington's New Graded School Building.


'N 1889 and previous years, our people had become much wrought up over the necessity of a new school building. The other two frame structures were very old and very much dilapidated, and were not suit- able at all for the purposes of holding school therein. But the great and paramount question was, how to raise the necessary funds with which to erect a suitable building for the town and surrounding country patrons. A subscription was finally started, and several hundred dollars were raised in this way. It was further settled through the Town Trustees and the School Trustees of the town, that Rem- ington should issue her bonds and sell the same, which in addition to the subscriptions it was thought would be suf- ficient to complete the structure. After the money matters were made secure, the School Trustees at once advertised for bids for the construction of the building under certain plans and specifications which had been selected. Upon the opening of these bids it was found that Messrs. Smith, Landon & Co., of Kokomo, Indiana, had made the lowest responsible bid. The School Trustees of our town at this time were Messrs. William H. Coover, William Townsend and E. A. Bartoo, and they at once contracted with Messrs. Smith, Landon & Co., constractors, to erect said building, the contract price being eleven thousand and five hundred dollars. This contract was entered into in the spring of the year 1889, and it was agreed in the contract that the building should be fully completed on or before the Ist day of September, of that year.


The building is 70x50 feet, with basement for furnace, etc., two stories on top of basement, and bell tower on top. There are four large school rooms on each floor, besides a private room for the principal, making nine rooms in all, and two general hall ways extending through the center of the entire building, and other lesser hall ways extending

between the various rooms. Smith, Landon & Co., sub- contracted the stone work to one Isaac Smith, of Kokomo, Indiana, who employed about eight men to assist him in this work. They were troubled considerable by severe rain storms, but had their work completed by the 15th day of April. They also sub-contracted the brick work to one S. W. McMullen, who put his force of men to work on the building about the 10th day of May, and had his work com- pleted about the first of August. They also sub-contracted the carpenter work to William R. Love & Son, of Rem- ington, who have been well known here for the past twenty- seven years, and are excellent mechanics. Mr. Love & Son employed about four additional good carpenters, and were enabled thus to have their work done in good season. Mr. McMullen, the brick sub-contractor, employed seven excellent brick masons, who had as tenders J. W. Thomas, Joseph Turner, Jacob Ackermann, Thomas Harris, Elias Johnson and J. H. Royalty, all of whom resided in Rem- ington. Messrs. Smith, Landon & Co., also sub-con- tracted the plastering of this school building to Messrs. McGrady & Walker, who employed three men as assistants, being all the force they required or had. The sub-contract for painting was let to Edward Railsback and George. Stoudt, who did their entire work without having any help. All of the above men performed their various duties on time, and in accordance with their respective contracts, and the school house was ready for occupancy at the usual time for our school to commence, which was about Septem- ber 15th, 1889.


This school house is located at the east side of Rem- ington, and is just north of Railway on land purchased for the purpose of Moses French, at a cost of four hundred and twenty dollars, just outside the corporation line at the time, but has since been taken into the corporate limits of Remington in 1890, being the last addition made to the town of Remington. There are nearly three acres of this plat, and it is beautifully situated near the east end of

Michigan street, in the south edge of Chappell's grove, and on the west bank of Carpenter's creek. The old school grounds had been donated to the town of Remington by Jesse H. Fordyce, to be held by said town, or the School Trustees thereof, so long as it was used for school purposes, and if it ceased to be used for such purposes it should revert to Mr. Fordyce, the donor, which occurred when the new school property was bought and built on, and Mr. Fordyce sold the old grounds in 1890.


THE POULTRY BUSINESS.


R. A. M. TRAUGH was the first man to engage in handling poultry in the town of Remington. He commenced in this enterprise during the year 1868, and has continued in the business to the present time-1894. He has prospered fairly well in. this line of business, and has had for a portion of the time (from 1872 to 1880) his son, Wellington A. Traugh, as a partner; since the latter date, however, he has been alone. Wellington A. Traugh first visited Remington in 1862, but did not locate here as one of our citizens until in 1872. He engaged in the drug business in 1882. In 1883, John A. Allman also engaged in the poultry business, and handled a great amount of it, but he apparently did not succeed in making any money out of this business, and in 1886 he sold out and went to Rensselaer, Indiana, where he engaged in the restaurant business. He remained there about one year when he sold out and again came to Rem- ington in 1889, where he engaged in the grocery business for a while, selling out soon to Jacob Ochs, who only con- tinued in the grocery business a few months, when he was forced to suspend business.


William McCabe became a citizen of this place in 1888, and engaged in the poultry business in 1889, doing business for Patton Bros., of Goodland. He quit and was

succeeded by James W. Nolan in 1891. Mr. Nolan worked for the firm nearly one year when he was succeeded by Ed Monagle, of Goodland, in 1892, and Mr. Monagle has con- tinued to do business here for them, the Patton Bros., to the present time, 1894.


GROCERY BUSINESS.


HE grocery business has probably always been the largest business in the mercantile line ever done in the town of Remington. The first man to engage in this line at this place, which was known at this time as Carpenter's Station, was George B. Clark, in 1860. His place of business was located at the corner of First North and Main, or Range Line streets. He conducted this store about two years only. In the fall of the year of 1860, on Thanksgiving Day, Mr. George B. Chappell arrived in our new town, and at once commenced the erection of a store building 20x50 feet, for the purpose of occupying it as a general store house. He came here in the interests of Mr. William Bolles, of Delphi. By the first day of January, 1861, this building was ready to receive a stock of goods, which was at once opened out, being a general assortment of goods, including, of course, groceries. Mr. Chappell and Mr. William H. Shaw were the business managers of this concern, and they soon commanded a very large patronage, considering the newness of the country, which they enjoyed for several years. After a few years, Mr. William Draper came on here and took the place of Mr. Shaw in this store, and Mr. William Coover took the position of Mr. Chappell. They continued in this business until 1874, when the build- ing and its contents were destroyed by fire; the building in the meantime had been enlarged by the building of a sub- stantial and commodious addition to the original structure.

place in the year 1862. At that time this firm built a small house on the Corner of Ohio and Railway street, where Messrs. Allman and Sheetz are at present engaged in the hardware business. This building was probably only 20x40 feet in dimensions. This firm however, did not remain long in business, and it was superseded by the firm of Lockwood Brothers during 1863. This latter firm of Lockwood Brothers sold out their interests to N. W. Rawling, in 1866, and he in turn sold his interests to Felix R. Donnelley in 1868. Mr. Donnelley was succeeded by Mr. James T. McKim in 1869, and when Mr. McKim became the owner of this store he also became the owner of the ground upon which the building was located, and he at once removed the old building and built the stone structure that still remains on the ground. Soon after this, this corner was purchased by Ephraim Anglemier, who also bought some additional ground immediately adjoining this property on the east, upon which he at once built the brick two story building thereon situated, and also the brick second story on the stone one story building on the corner. This improvement was made in the year 1872. Mr. Anglemier, however, did not engage in any mercantile pursuit; he simply had control of the real estate and building, which he leased to N. W. Rawlings, who placed therein a stock of dry goods and groceries. This was the first brick store building erected in the town of Remington. Mr. Rawlings finally failed in business, and Mr. McKim moved from Remington to a suburb of Indianapolis.


Mr. William Hopkins built a store room here in 1863, and engaged in the grocery trade for one or two years; he was succeeded by the Jordan Brothers, John and George, who started with a fair stock of groceries; but in this under- taking they were not successful, and only remained in busi- ness a few years, when they sold and were succeded by Elias Watts, in 1869. Mr. Watts was an excellent citizen, and he was prosperous in his business affairs here. Mr. Watts was a son-in-law of William Irwin, formerly Trustee

of Carpenter township. Mr. Watts sold out his store to Mr. J. H. Peck in 1872. Mr. Peck continued the business until the year 1878, when he sold out to Mr. J. O. B. Mc- Dougle, this being Mr. McDougle's second venture in the mercantile line in Remington. Mr. McDougle continued in business on the corner until he built where he is at present located on North Railway street, having, however, been burned out once on the site where he is at present. Mr. McDougle appears to be doing a good business, as he certainly deserves to do. The corner building fell into the hands of Alfred Thompson, of Rensselaer, Ind., and it was finally destroyed by fire in the year 1888.


There was a large two story frame building built in 1867 by George B. Clark as carpenter, on the south side of the railway. and this building was owned by, and known as the Morgan building, or property. Messrs. George B. Clark and George W. Hascall formed a partnership and engaged in the grocery business in this building, and contin- ued in it for about two years, when this partnership was dissolved, and the room leased to Messsrs. Dr. Maxwell and Chambers, who placed a stock of drugs, etc., in it, and continued therein in this line for several years. This building was destroyed by fire in 1884.


In 1869 the firm of Hathaway Bros. came to Rem- ington and bought the building and lot on the corner of South Railway and Ohio streets, from J. B. Sheaffer, who had previously occupied it as a carpenter shop. This firm also purchased a lot east of and immediately adjoining this property, upon which they erected a large two story building, covering both lots; the lower part of this building was all thrown into one double room, which the firm used as a store room for both groceries and dry goods. They continued in business for several years here, when finally one of the brothers died and the other then disposed of his property here and removed to other parts.


Mr. A. Arpin was at one time engaged in the grocery trade here, which he conducted in the same room with his 15

saloon business on the south side of railway street, and fronting on Ohio street. Mr. Arpin, failed here in a short time, and removed to one of the northwestern States.

A Frenchman by the name of Eugene Cadier engaged in the grocery trade about the year 1882, in Remington, occuping one of the rooms in the Hathaway builing, the lower room having been divided into two rooms by a parti- tion. He remained there a year or two, and then moved to the north side, occupying the stone and brick building known as Anglemier's building. He remained there how- ever but a short time, when he disposed of his goods and removed from Remington.


On the first day of May, 1873, James E. Stiller loca- ted in Remington and opened up a good stock of groceries and dry goods in the old hardware stand of Messrs. Allman & Co. Soon afterward he formed a partnership with Mr. Henry C. Goldsberry, who was also engaged in the same business. A Mr. Bowsher also about this time became a member of this firm, which was then known as Goldsberry, Stiller & Bowsher. The firm, however, did not remain intact long, when Messrs. Stiller & Bowsher moved their goods to a suburb of the City of Chicago, Mr. Goldsberry in the mean time remaining in business here; Mr. Bowsher soon died and Mr. Stiller returned to Remington and engaged in the business again, taking the place of Mr. Goldsberry. Mr. Goldsberry now sold his stock to John A. Allman. Through the pressure of hard times and his inability to make collections, Mr. Stiller was forced to make an assign- ment in the early part of 1893, but he is again engaged in business in a small way. After selling out to Allman, Goldsberry moved to the town of Wolcott, White county, Indiana, where he engaged in a general mercantile busi- ness with Mr. Richard F. Griffing. Mr. John Allman moved his stock of groceries to the south side of Railway street, which had been previously occupied by Messrs. Babb & Co. for a grocery store for perhaps two years. George W. Cheek, a former resident of Remington, but

now of Red Key, Indiana, bought the stock of goods from Messrs. Babb & Co. Mr. Cheek came to Remington in 1869, and was a carpenter by trade, at which he worked here for several years, and had saved some money, when he bought this stock of goods. He also traded some resi- dence property for the building and real estate upon which it stood, in which the store was located. He built an ad- dition to his store room in 1888, and associated with him- self as a partner in the grocery business Mr. George W. Reigle. Soon after this he traded this real estate to Messrs. Morehead & Emery, for a store property in Red Rey, Indiana, and removed his stock of goods, or rather his interest in it, to that place in the fall of 1870. He was succeeded here by John Allman, and Mr. Allman by Jacob Ochs. Allman finally removed to Wolcott, Indiana, and engaged in the general merchandise trade. George W. Reigle again launched into the grocery business on the north side of Railway street, in a property he had pur- chased of Mr. R. Parker, and is at present engaged in that line of business, in his own property.

BLACKSMITHS.


HE first blacksmith shop for Remington was estab- lished in 1860, by one Michael Kite. Mr. Samson Erwin also established a shop here in 1863, and sold it out to George F. Shaull, in 1864 or 1865. Mr. Shaull was our principal blacksmith for several years, and has lived in or near Remington ever since he first located here. He was constable of Carpenter township for some time and he was also the marshal of Remington for one year, having been elected in 1875. He finally moved onto a farm, and is at present living on a farm about two and one-half miles east of Remington.


Mr. John Fisher engaged in blacksmithing here in 1868, but he only remained about two years. The Bow-

man Brothers established a blacksmith shop here in 1870. This firm was composed of Ezra and Samuel Bowman. They were both excellent mechanics; but Samuel quit the blacksmith trade a few years ago, and engaged in the manufacture of tile. Ezra Bowman has remained at his trade to the present time. The Bowman's are both good citizens, and both have excellent homes in Remington. Wesley Hinds learned this trade with the Bowman Bros., and he started a shop here on Indiana street, which was sold to James Frasier, who conducted the business here from 1872 to 1886. Frasier was not a financial success, and he accordingly left here about 1887, and located in Monticello, Indiana. Mr. Frasier died quite suddenly in the city of Chicago, while attending the World's fair in 1893.


George Griffin did a general blacksmithing business off and on for several years in Remington. He was a partner with George A. Hemphill in 1892. Mr. Hemphill had learned his trade in Wolcott, Indiana; but he, with a William Hines, located a shop in Remington in 1888, and Mr. Hemphill has continued here ever since, and is at present in partnership with Mr. Ezra Bowman. Hemphill and Hinds sold out to Messrs. Sutton & Son, formerly of Delphi, Indiana, about 1890. Messrs. Sutton & Son only remained here about one year, when they sold out and went to Arkansas. Ezra Bowman was doing business in the Frasier shop on Indiana street in 1889, and when he returned to his original shop on South Ohio street, he was succeeded in the Frasier shop by Messrs. Geier & Lynch. Mr. Lynch sold his interest in this shop to A. C. Perkins, of the town of Goodland, and the firm here now is known as Geier & Perkins. Mr. Lynch then established a shop in Wadena, Benton county, Indiana, having bought the shop there of John A. Irwin. The Bowman shop was built in 1871. The Geier shop was built in 1868. Both shops are conducted by excellent mechanics, and they are both very prosperous.

JASPER COUNTY, INDIANA.


LIVERIES.


HE first livery business was established in Reming- ton in 1864, by William Haver, who conducted the business until during the year 1868, when he sold out to Thomas Harris. Harris continued in the business three years, selling out to Messrs. Shipman & Patton in 1871. Shipman sold his interest to Mr. Patton in 1872. Barney Patton sold out to his brother, George Patton, who continued in the business until 1884, when he in turn sold out the barn and stock to Mr. James Sheffler, July 4, of the latter year. Mr. Sheffler came to Reming- ton in 1875, and started an opposition livery stable to Mr. Patton, but they both did business here until Mr. Patton sold out to Mr. Sheffler as stated above. Mr. Sheffler con- tinued in the business for several years, when he sold out to James Clowry and Sons on the 16th day of April, 1892. Mr. Clowry had previously been a farmer of this county, but purchasing this livery business he moved into Reming- ton, having sold his farm and having also bought a resi- dence property here. He came to Carpenter township and located four miles west of Remington in 1874, on the Good- land and Remington road. His two sons, Frank and Philip, have continued the livery business to the present time. Mr. Clowry has recently bought a farm adjoining the town, and moved onto it in the spring of 1894, having sold his residence here.
