Mahan and John Plew to place their saw-mill here and saw this timber for him. This mill ran continuously for almost three years in cittlng away the timber. A great deal of this timber was sawed into heavy timbers which were used by the mines of the . neighborhood. After the timber was removed the land was sold to the Gilbert Brothers, Harve Patton and Purty Pullis. It has been tiled and is now some of the best farming land of the community.
Some of the soldiers from this district who served in the Civil War were Josiah Worth, Joel Barcus, and Samuel Nicholson.
The first school house in this dis- trict was built about 1854, one-half mile north of the present site, an .! was on the northwest corner of the place now owned by Mrs. Nancy Ladd. It was known as the Stin- net School House and was a rude log building with split logs for seats. There were no desks and whenever anyone had any writing to do he was obliged to go to the front of the room and write on a piece of a split log, held in place by wooden legs. This school house had glass windows, and a stove was placed in the middle of the room. At that time the length of the term of school was only three months. The first teacher was James B. Mahan, the father of Samuel G. Mahan. The first pupils were Arittah Stinnet, Harriet Stinnet, Jim Stinnet, Dan Stinnet, Asa Stinnet, Samuel Nichol- son, Theodore Mahan, Jeremiah Mahan, Samuel G. Mahan, Catherine Grant, Lizzie Grant, Anna Grant. Willie Grant, Charley Grant, Chaun- cey . McDaniel, Elmira McDaniel, Silas Maples, John Tennis, William Tennis, Wesley Tennis, Oliver Ten- nis, Elizabeth Hughbanks, Mary Hughbanks, Matilda Hughbanks, Mary Bowman, Willie Bowman, John Bowman. The Stinnets were consid- ered excellent spellers, for they could spell every word in the old ele- mentary spelling book. At this time No. 7 school was the best school in spelling in the township.
The next teacher was Mary Jane Asbury, who taught a subscription
school. One dollar and fifty cents was charged for each pupil. The next teacher was a Mr. Armsby. The log school house stood ustil about 1870 when it was abandoned and a frame school house was built in the center of the district by contribu- tions. Some of the logs of that old school house may still be found in the walls of an old house standing on the place now owned by Allen Gouckenous about a mile east of where the old school house stood.
The frame school house stood un til about 1900 when a new brick school house was built. This build- ing stood until the fall of 1912, when it was all burned except the walls and foundation. The way in which the school house caught fire was never learned. The pupils were then hauled in a school wagon to Hymera where a vacant room in the new high school building was pre- pared for them. All of the grades were taught in the same way as be- fore. The following fall the' present frame building was built. This school is now known as the Ladd school.
The K. of P. Cemetery.
The K. of P. Cemetery was. pur- chased by the K. of P. lodge of Hy- mera from Sam Nicholson in 1907 for six hundred dollars. It contains six acres, and is divided into four equal blocks, A, B, C, and D, by gravel roads. In the center of this cemetery there is a circle twelve feet in diameter, which was laid off in which to erect a monument.

District No. 8 is in the south cen- tral part of the township and con- tains the town of Hymera. With the exception of the northwest section of the district, the land is rather broken. Farming was the principal industry in the pioneer days, but for many year the mining industry has completely overshadowed it. The majority of the men of district No. 8 and the town of Hymera are miners. The mining interests of the district will be discussed later.
Hymera, the principal town of Jackson township, was not platted as a townsite until about 1870, but as early as 1830 there were a few pioneer settlers here. William Pitt was the first to enter land here. The other early settlers were Martin
Hale, Nathan Hinkle, Jerry Mahan, John Badders, Reason Beckett, Michael Zink, Hosea Payne. John McCammon, Henry Barnhart, and Thomas Shepherd. Later there came Jack Beckett, Bob Linn, Dr .: Williams, Dr. Hiatt, William J. Beckett and the Larr Brothers. Wm. Pitt was the owner of the land on which Hymera was built. He had bought it from the government at one dollar and a quarter an acre. When Nathan Hinkle platted the site the name Pittsburg was selected in honor of the local resident and was perhaps suggested by the great coal center of Pennsylvania.
The first houses built were log houses consisting of two or three rooms and a wide open fireplace.

The houses of William Pitt and Mar- tin Hale were probably the very
first houses bullt. Mr. Pitt's being situated where Nathan Hinkle now lives and Mr. Hale's on the present site of the Pullis property. Later Bob Linn built a house on the site of Gilbert Beckett's residence. Dr. Williams lived near Scott's hard- ware store, Dora Perry where Otis Turner now lives and Wash and Jar- ret Larr's houses stood on the east side of Gilman's hardware st. re. Dr. Plew's and Dr. Thralls' houses which were built later, were situated at their present site in the west part of town and Squire Starks was near the postoffice. Mary J. Beckett lived at her present location, and Nathan Hinkle near the Barnhart hotel.
It was not until the coming of the Laur Brothers and Bob Linn in 1859 that Pittsburg showed any signs of activity in business affairs. Bob Linn established a general store on the site where Henry Julian's store now stands and the Laur Broth- ers established a saw-mill just back of the present opera house. It was probably but a few years later when other business houses were put up. A grocery store owned by Milton Stark was situated on the site of the present postoffice. The first drug store was owned by Tom Scott and stood a little north of where Gilbert Beckett now lives. The first furni In 1880, according to a census taken by Sam Nicholson, the popu- lation of Hymera was thirty-four, but at the present time it is esti- mated at two thousand. ture store was established by Chas. Barnhart, west of Mr. Gilman's hard- ware store. Jim Barnett owned the first hardware store and Frank Zim- merman the first meat market in Dr. Williams was the first doctor to locate here. Later other doctors came. Dr. Hill -located northwest of 1888, and later Burr Watson estal- lished another. W. H. Cooper owned the first feed store. The first hlack- . town on the Beasley homestead. Dr. smiths were George W. Ring, Joe Asbury, and Dora Perry. Joe As- bury owned a blacksmith shop in 1870, situated where Turner's bar !! now stands.
.
As early as 1829 a grist mill is said to have been erected southeast of town on Busseron creek. At a later date a water and sav-mill owned by Jerry Mahan was located west of town near where Bud Gard now lives. Although these mills were not in town the people of Pitts-
burg probably received greater bene- fit from them than anyone else. The first mill of Hymera was a grist mill erected by Ira and Wash Larr in 1867. In 1882 Mr. P. Stutsman erected a flour mill where the bank now stands.
The mail was first brought from Cass, but later a grocery store and postoffice combined was established north of town where Ish Barnes now lives. John Badders was the first postmaster and gave the post office the name of Hymera. Two other early postmasters were Mr. Foxwor- thy and Bob Linn.
In 1870 the name of the town was changed from Pittsburg to Ily- mera. The reason for changing was that the name of the town might cor- respond with the name of the post- office. Then too, a coal mine had been opened at Alum Cace and Al- um Cave as a new town took the name of New Pittsburg. Thereafter Pittsburg was called Old Pittsburg. The result was a great deal of con- fusion concerning the mail and other matters pertaining to the two towns. Therefore, in April of that year, a petition from nearly all the voters was laid before the county commis- sioners, asking that the name of the town as recorded on the plat should be changed to Hymera, which was done.
Hiatt occupied Dr. Plew's residence and Dr. Baldridge where Henry Pat- ton now lives. The doctors who prac- ticed here at a still later date vere Dr. Marshall, Dr. Caffey, Dr. Plew and Dr. Thralls.
At a very early date a coal milic owned by H. W. and Harvey Wilson was sunk west of the town. This was one of the first mines of the county. The coal was used chiefly by the blacksmiths and was hauled in wagons to all parts of the county.
45
Coal operations, however, began up- on a more extensive scale in 1870, and since that time coal mining Las been the chief industry of the town and township.
The town was first incorporated in 1902. The land platted extended three-fourths of a mile in each di- rection. The principal streets were Main, Jackson, Vine, State, Wright, and Beckett. The beginning of the construction of the sidewalks was commenced in 1904.
The present system of lighting the streets was installed in 1910, the franchise for the same having been granted to H. L. Hiatt for twenty- five years. The power for lighting is derived from the electric light plant at Jasonville.
The first shoe cobblers of Hymera were John Spear and Hosea Payne. They each worked at home. . In 1882 Mr. John Osborne built the first shoe shop. The first millinery store was owned by Ella Manwarring and was located where the Odd Fel- lows Building now stands. The first jewelry store was established in 1893 by James Nicholson. The first newspaper of Hymera was the "Hymera Gazette" edited by Jce V. Entwhistle from 1899 to 1904. F'red Finney then edited the "Hymera Herald" until 1909. Several other attempts have been made to furnish Hymera with a newspaper, but all have failed.
The Hymera Bank was established with a capital of fifteen thousand dollars in December, 1903, by S. M. Patton and R. L. Ladd. It was made a state bank in January, 1906 with Mr. Ladd as president and Mr. Pat- ton as cashier.
Hymera Schools.
The first school house in Hymera was a log house located where Chas. Barnhart's Hotel now stands. One of the teachers at this bullding was Harvey Wilson.
The second school house stood where the M. E. church now stands. It was built about 1840. It was also a log house, similar to all the log school houses which have been de- scribed. Some of the teachers at this building were James B. Mahan,
John Wilson and Rev. Joseph Asbury Some of the people who attended school here were Susan Beckett and Martha Hinkle.
The third school house was locat- ed on the hill opposite Chas. Beni - nett's home, north of Hymera. It was built about 1850 and was known as the Township House. Some of the pupils who attended school here were Albert Zink, F. M. Nead, Thos. Hughes, and Catherine Nead, and some of the teachers were Caroline Mahan, Henry Hopewell, Mary Jane Butler, Clay Woods, Kenneth Self, Charles Finney, Bill Denney. Mary Beckett, and Lizzie Beckett Heaven- ridge.
The fourth school house in this district stood on the ground now cc- cupied by Charies Rusher's home. It was built in 1875 while James Plew was trustee. It was a fraric building. Some of the pupils who attended this school were Cora Bar- nett, Allie Payne, Sarah Sink, Jesse Scott, Bettie Tichenor, Mary Scott and John Furry. The first . teacher in this building was Mrs. Joe Asbury. Some other teachers were Jobn Bar- nett, J. S. Barcus, T. D. Strawn, and Alice Payne. In 1888 a second room was added to this building. Some of the teachers here were Cora Barnett, F. M. Nead, R. C. King, Maggie Mc- Grew. and Charles Lloyd. The pu- pils who attended schol here are well known residents of Hymera and vicinity. Later two rooms were not large enough to accommodate the students and another room was rented in town.
In 1895 a brick building was erec- ted which now forms part of the grade building. It contained four school rooms and a large hall on the third floor. The first teachers at this building were J. L. Berlingmier, Cora Case, Margaret McGrew and
Mrs. Stella Botts Woodrow. It
was in this year that the first year of high school work was added. The town soon grew un- til the hall on the third floor had to be converted into school rooms. It was not long, however. until these rooms were overcrowded. In 1905 an addition of four rooms
46
was built to the six room building,' and a heating plant installed in the building. The town continued to grow rapidly and it was not long un- til it became necessary to seek other quarters for the high school. In 1911 the work on the present high school was commenced. It was com- pleted in the summer of 1912, at a cost of twenty-four thousand dollars. It is a beautiful building and mod- ern in every particular. It was dedi- cated August 13, 1912, the dedica- tory address being made by State Superintendent, Charles A. Great- house. School opened in the new building in September, 1912. The high school teachers were W. L. Connor, Mrs. C. O. Self, Myrtle Bar- nett, R. W. Kent, and Maude Smith.
The first high school commence- ment in Jackson township was held in 1909. The graduates were A. C. Parsons, Faye Beckett, Eurnie Stuts- man, Lena Vanarsdall and Ella Mc- Carty.
The Hymera High School was first commissioned in 1910. At pres- ent there are six teachers in the high school and twelve in the grades. There are ninety-eight students en- rolled in the high school and about five hundred in the grades.
The Hymera Baptist Church.
The Hymera Baptist Church was organized at District No. 7 School House in 1881 by the Rev. G. W. Terry. The charter members were: George Gouckenour, Emeline Gouck- enour, Martha A. Gouckenour, Allen Gouckenour, Anna Gouckenour, Julia A. Craft, Robert Alumbaugh, Elvina Alumbaugh, Olive M. Craig and Sa- rah Anderson Hoggett.
The first building was built in 1884 on the northeast corner of Noah Ring's farm. It was moved to Hymera and reconstructed in 1900. This new building was dedicated Sept. 1, 1901. The dedication ser- mon was preached by Rev. Albert Ogle, Superintendent of State Mis- sions. One Association was held at the old church in 1888 and another in 1904, after the building had been moved to Hymera.
