WHITE RIVER TOWNSHIP.
THIS TOWNSHIP is in the northeast corner of the county, and is bounded as follows : On the north by Tipton county, on the east by Madison county, on the south by Wayne and Nobles- ville townships, and on the west by Jackson township, and contains an area of 56 square miles.
The township is generally level, except along the course of White River, which runs across its southeast corner, where the land is rolling and somewhat hilly. The soil is rich, and where well drained is very productive. The bottom land yields im- mense crops of corn, and the more heavy soil fine crops of wheat. No township in the county, perhaps, is so abundantly supplied with stock water as this ; White River, Duck Creek, Bear Creek, and Pipe Creek are the principal streams. This was one of the first settled townships of the county, and we have been informed that it lacked but one vote of making the village of Strawtown in this township the capital of the State. The entire township is well supplied with timber. The school privileges are good, and the cause of education is advancing.
Among the first settlers of the township may be mentioned Elias Johnson, who came here in 1833 when the whole country was largely a wilderness and public roads were a thing unknown. He cut and carried on his own shoulders the poles to build his cabin, where the Indians greatly outnumbered the whites, and wild turkeys and pea vines were as plenty as corn and hogs are at the present day.
Population of township according to census of 1870, is 2,047.
