At the first election, held in 1846, at the house of William Jobs, Owen Hatfield was elected justice of the peace, Isaac Alter clerk, James E. Wilson treasurer, and James Wilson, Samuel Fogwell and John Akers were trustees, while William Jobs became the first con- stable. The first marriage in the settlement had taken place before

this, and 'Squire Isaac Hall, of Springfield, had performed the cere- mony, which united David Overly to Miss Kimball, of Pleasant township. The first death in the township was that of Daniel Overly, in 1847. The burial was made on the land which was afterward bought by Henry S. Kelsey, the plot being reserved for a cemetery, which is still in use. Isaac A., the son of James E. and Sarah Wilson, was the first white child born in the settlement, the date being May 30, 1846. The first school house was built in 1848, near, if not on the Coverdale lands, and passed under the name of the "Coverdale School." Township school number one now stands very near the spot. Eli Ward was the first teacher of the school. In the fall of 1850 a second school house was built on the southeast corner of section eighteen, which was called the "Beech School" because it had been built of beech timber exclusively. Miss Eliza Ogden was the first teacher there. Beech school was the scene of many famous spelling contests, in ante-bellum days. Township school number four now stands on this spot, and a short distance north of it is the Disciple church. The organization of the township was an impetus in the development of the settlement, to which the building of the sawmill at Zanesville added force. About 1853 or 1854 another school house, known as the "Hoosier School," was built on Lower Huntington road near the angle of the old reservation, in section nine.
The village of Zanesville, though situated on the county line with formerly the larger part of its population owing allegiance to Wells county, has yet much to do with the affairs of Lafayette town- ship. The Link sawmill certainly helped. Its proprietor soon after- ward entered the mercantile field in Zanesville, the first in the village, but the mill still buzzed on. Zanesville, which is only reached by automobile, wagon, or the Zanesville omnibus, which runs be- tween Fort Wayne and the village, has had a slow growth from its start, reaching, in 1880, a total population, in both counties, of two hundred and twenty-eight, which had in 1900 increased to three hundred, indicating a healthy and natural, but not spectacular growth-which, indeed, was not to be expected of a town which has neither steam nor electric railroad connections with the world at large. It is, however, in every attainable way, a progressive town.
The gristmill built in 1875 by Conrad Knight, of Lafayette township, in the same vicinity with the sawmill, was an important local development. Another steam sawmill was built about this time on Eight Mile creek, by Isaac H. Kelsey and Amos Gipe, and operated for about two years. These mills are stated to be the only ones to which Lafayette township had direct access up to this date. The Smith and Giddings steam sawmill at the north edge of the township must, however, have been a rather close follower. In the absence of exact dates, this latter mill was built by the firm, who came from Ohio, during the late seventies and operated for four or five years. They cleared the land which they bought in the reserva- tion, where the mill stood, and also purchased the tract known as the MeClave lands. After clearing the timber from the last, the partnership dissolved and a new firmn was formed, composed of Mr. Giddings and William Knowlton, and the mill was removed to St. Joseph township, where it did execution in the timber tracts stil!

standing there. It next migrated to Jefferson township in Whitley county, where the firm was re-organized to include Stephen B. Bond, of Fort Wayne. Albert Knowlton, now of Fort Wayne, was with the mill firm while they were located in this county.
The first church to be built in Lafayette was the Evangelical, in 1850. The first church to be organized was the Methodist, a class being formed in 1852 at the Beech school, under Rev. Almon Green- man. Meetings were held at this school for three years or more, and then transferred to the "Hoosier" school. During the Civil War political dissensions nearly destroyed the congregation, but in 1869 a re-organization was effected, and "Munson Chapel" was built in 1870, near the "Hoosier" school house, where they had held services before the war. The Baptists next organized, in 1854, but this church was soon scattered by a rival congregation not far away, but in another county. The Disciples organized in 1865, and after several years a church was built near the Beech school. Prominent in the earlier history of church building of Lafayette township were Walter Kress, H. L. Riley, Wm. J. Bowman, J. Bolinger, A. S. Cover- dale, M. Sites and G. H. Knowlton, of the Methodists; and Stephen, J. B. and J. A. Wilson, Thomas Wilkerson, Isaac B. Dawes and William Jobs, of the Disciples.
One of the men who have helped to do things in Lafayette is William Branstrator, who settled upon lands in the reserve which came to him by inheritance from his father, who purchased them in 1839. The year of his settling he married Miss Catherine A. Hill, daughter of David and Sarah Fogwell Hill, and they began housekeeping in a new log cabin which Mr. Branstrator had just built. Mrs. Branstrator was a member of the Lutheran church at Five Points in Pleasant township. William Branstrator was in his time the largest landholder in Lafayette. Andrew Bowersock settled in 1851, and George Lopshire in 1852, though he had come to Fort Wayne in 1835 with his parents, who built a home on South Broad- way, from which road the Lopshires helped to clear away the brush.
The village of Aboite, close to the north township line, where the Wabash railroad enters Lafayette from the northeast, seems really to belong to Aboite township as Little river separates it from the rest of Lafayette; but it stands safely within Lafayette territory. Once but a station stop, it has achieved a population of seventy-five persons, has a township school, a drain tile manufactory, a Farmers' Exchange company and a grocery. The Christian church is located there also, and there is telephone service from Roanoke, and traffic communication with Fort Wayne and Huntington by means of both steam and electric lines. There are possibilities in Aboite.
Roads, so slow to start in Lafayette, have multiplied until now nearly every section line is traversed by a road or lane, and the difficulty of transporting the township's produce is reduced to a minimum. Its schools also are in good condition, as the record of twenty-four pupils finishing the eighth grade in June, 1916, will indicate. Of the school enumeration of that year, two hundred and forty-four enrollments make 671/2 per cent, which is the reverse of low, because in Zanesville the school is on the Wells county side of the line, and Lafayette's children are "transferred," so that they do not appear on township reports. The school at Zanesville is an
704
JACKSON TOWNSHIP
excellent one, we must admit, although it is not in Allen county. Even the students at the Fort Wayne high school respect the prowess of the Zanesville basket-ball teams. The average attendance in the nine township schools is eighty-five per cent of the enrollment. The per capita expense of education is $20.23. The libraries contain about fifteen hundred volumes.
Jackson Township
To make entertaining reading for today out of the early history of Jackson township would require the imagination of an "Uncle Remus" to be unreined, as the result of which precarious liberty B'rer Bear might appear in the character of heavy villain, with B'rer Wolf, B'rer Fox and B'rer Rabbit filling appropriate roles among the dramatis personae. But B'rer Bear and his associates were too real in the "sunless retreats" of the marsh forest in north- ern Jackson to be a subject of playful imaginings seventy-five years ago. The "bear's nest," as it was called, tempted no one to invade its gloom but hunters, and those well armed. Indeed, we recall that the young pioneers who tramped into Allen county from Ohio, leav- ing their own epitaph carved upon a tree by the way, stating that they had been eaten by bears, were hand in hand on that tramp; and it occurs to us that the intrepid marksmen of the "bear's nest" also may have "hunted in pairs." But it was a region to be shunned, and doubtless it was with justice that the early historian called it "a howling wilderness."
The marsh was a part of the same tract as the southern part of Maumee township, with the same causes and the same remedy. A large part of it was included in the Joseph K. Edgerton lands, pur- chased by him in spite of its being entered on the government books as "condemned swamp lands." Other non-resident capitalists endowed with long vision had invested in the cheap lands, also. Rumsey, Hanna, Hayden, Nelson, Fleming and others are names to be noted on the township plat of the period. Homeseekers naturally avoided the difficult and uninviting district, and it was exclusively in the southern part of the territory, where the drainage conditions presented no great problem, and in the neighborhood of the Ridge road route, that the few settlers who came before the sixties estab- lished themselves.
The population in 1880 was scarcely three hundred persons, and ten years later had made but little increase. The first white settler was George Hollinger, who came in 1838, and boldly built his cabin near the center of the township, where he worked with energy at his clearing, and is also said to have been "fond of the sport" of hunting. This may not be questioned, but if the statement leaves in the mind of the reader an impression that the hunters of pioneer days followed hunting as mere sport, the notion should be corrected. The isolation of early pioneer families was such that their food supplies frequently gave out, or would have given out if the hus- band's rifle had not procured this flesh food from the forests. There are many settlers' sons yet living who remember all too clearly that they were often without grain or vegetable food for two or three weeks at a time, and would have faced bitter hunger if it had not
705
ALLEN COUNTY, INDIANA
been for the father's rifle, which was merely a part of every settler's stock in trade. The present annalist heard, many years ago, a story of an old pioneer who, after spending the day and night previous in a fairly successful hunt for small food game, emerged at daybreak from the forest in the district under consideration, into a small clearing, where the smoke from a tiny cabin aroused pleasant antici- pations of breakfast. A gaunt woman and several gaunt children met him at the door. In response to his question, the woman turned silently and pointed to a single pan in which the "breakfast" was being cooked. The hunter approached and bent over the simmering mess. It was a handful of the first spring grass, frying in a remnant of fat. Father and rifle were absent, and the family were starving. Not only was hunting the solution of the food problem, but the pelts of the animals killed came much nearer being currency than much of the paper money in circulation at that date, and was the greater part of all the currency the settlers had for some time. George Hollinger, therefore, was a real settler, and no care-free sportsman.
David, John and Samuel Neff. from Dayton, Ohio, came to Jack- son township not long after Hollinger, and purchased large tracts of timber land in the southern part. Their purpose was to clear the land, after deadening the timber, and then to sell out at an advance. The enterprise was candid and respectable, but the broth- ers were unable to carry out the whole plan, and from some cause, perhaps the cholera scourge, all three men died, while the clearing waited. Their lands in Jackson township were put into the hands of Alanson Whitney, of Jefferson township, for sale. Transactions of this sort are, of course, responsible for the tardy development of the southern part of Jackson, which otherwise had every advantage possessed by Monroe. The purchase of a "part of the Neff lands" is an incident recorded in many pioneer biographies. Jacob and Robert Mooney settled in Jackson in 1840 and cleared farms on Flat Rock creek, the little drainage stream that meandered where it pleased, from Madison through Monroe and Jackson townships. It is not recognizable on the maps of today. The two farms were near the center of the township. Robert afterward sold out and took a fresh start in Jefferson. John Cline, Joshua Dickinson and Douglas Whitaker came in 1848 and bought lands. The latter two men were active as long as they remained in the township, but Mr. Cline was the only one of the trio who became a permanent resident. A part of the Neff lands was purchased in 1850 by a Mr. Meads, who settled on it, and in 1859 Peter Boody became a permanent settler. These were nearly all of the voters who had settled in Jackson up to the opening of the sixties. Numerous French emigrants had taken land, however, and among them are names which have become very familiar in Allen county,-as Florant Voirol, Francis Parnin, Con- stant Pernot, Chaussee, Lomont, Girard, and others. Monroe town- ship names, J. D. Stephenson, Jasper Jones, and others, began to appear, also, near that township line, while Clement Evard, a native of Switzerland, crossed the line from Milan into Jackson.
The township was not set apart until June, 1851, and the first election took place at the home of P. Mooney, who was appointed inspector. Douglas Whitaker was elected justice of the peace. The Sugar Ridge or Van Wert road, which had been surveyed some
706
JACKSON TOWNSHIP
time previously, was not opened through Jackson until several years after the first settlements were made. The second road to be opened was that leading to Paulding, Ohio, surveyed by S. M. Black, assisted by Alanson Whitney and others. Jackson had no schools until after the passage of the free school law. The first school house, erected in 1854, was built of logs and stood in section thirty-two.
Timothy Baldwin came to Jackson township in 1861 and settled permanently. He was married, in 1862, to Miss Phoebe E. Ball, who was the first white child born in Jackson township. Mr. Bald- win served during the entire course of the Civil War. John McCon- nell and John Taylor, both old residents of Jackson, also served the country throughout that conflict. John Cline served three years in the Twenty-third Indiana Battery. Of the French settlers who came, Constant Pernot served the township as assessor for more than a quarter of a century.
The coming of the railroads has done more than anything else toward the development of Jackson township's resources. In the north, where the Nickel Plate route cuts through the middle of the erstwhile Bear's Nest, the village of Edgerton sprang into existence May, 1889. It doesn't matter whether there are any picturesque features in its landscape or history, Edgerton, with its elevator, has become a shipping center, and a distributing depot besides, and a town is surely growing there. The population is about one hundred and seventy-five, and an independent postoffice is maintained there, as well as one of the township schools.
In the southern half, the Fort Wayne and Findlay division of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton line has done equal service. Baldwin, platted on the Timothy Baldwin estate, has outstripped its big sister Edgerton, and presents practically all the advantages of the latter town. Its population has increased, from fifty in 1900, to over two hundred at the present date, and is still thriving. Both towns have a fair outlook for the future, at least from a purely commercial viewpoint. The township schools are in good condition, and considering the fact that a large number of children are sent to Jefferson and other adjoining townships, to parochial schools, the public school enrollment is high. The enumeration of 1915 returned three hundred and thirty-five eligible to attend school, and of this number two hundred and fifty-seven are enrolled in the public schools of the township. The eight school houses, valued at $20,000.00, employ eight teachers, for a school year of one hundred and fifty days. The average attendance was two hundred and ten, daily. Expenses for the year 1915-1916, from which all the figures are taken, were: For teachers' salaries, $3,435.00; for upkeep ex- penditures, $741.50; the per capita cost amounting to $16.25. The libraries at the beginning of the year totaled one thousand and one volumes, to which were added seventy-nine more during the year. It may be noted that the school enumeration of today exceeds the population of the whole township less than thirty years ago, and that though Jackson township may lack in written local history, it has certainly come out of the woods.
