Ashville took its name from the circum- stance that at one time there were four asheries in operation in the place. Alvin Williams, who established a store in the fall of 1822, built the first ashery ; Adolphus Fletcher, also engaged in trade here, built an ashery soon after, and later Ephraim Berry built an ashery, and an- other person was also in the same trade. In 1821-22 Titus Kellogg, Alvin Williams and Adolphus Fletcher had established stores here, and in 1824 James McClellan erected a dwell- ing which was afterwards used as a tavern. In 1826 a tannery was built by Daniel and Joseph, brothers of Alvin Williams. Dr. Elder- kin was the first physician. His successors were Hiram Alden, Stephen Eaton, Simeon Buzzell, Dr. Dorr, John S. King, Dr. Parker. In 1870 there were 350 inhabitants who sus- tained Baptist, Congregational and Methodist churches, and one school. They were an in- dustrious community as their three stores, grist mill, sawmill, two shoe shops, two wagon shops, two blacksmith shops, a harness shop, a cabinet shop and a hotel were all in "working order." Ashville is a station of the Erie railway.

Dr. Williams was a native of New England, born in 1806, and came to Ashville in 1824.

the lovely village stretches down the beauti- ful valley for half a mile, its principal street being a graceful avenue overshadowed by magnificent trees.

The first schoolhouse in Panama was of logs, built in 1823, and located near the center of East Cemetery. This was destroyed by fire in January, 1825; the loss of the books was a great misfortune as they could not be easily replaced. Jesse Smith was the teacher, and school was continued in a log hut. A second schoolhouse was built on the rocks near the hotel site. John Steward was settled in 1821, two miles east of Panama, was a teacher there n 1828-29. The third was the "old red school- house" on the hill.

About 1827 a few people commenced to build rame houses; Benjamin Smith erected one near the site of Frank Hill's shop. The first hotel in the village was opened in 1827, and not long after, one Smith built a hotel. The irst hotel on the flat was kept in a building noved from the hill. Jesse Smith built a tav- ern where the brick hotel stands; this corner has been used as a hotel site since.

A hamlet of log houses preceded the build- ng of the mill at the upper village. In 1824 .Iso, Moses Cushman Marsh (father of Mrs. . H. Clark) from Massachusetts, who had been a wealthy Cuban trader, and by the dis- ionesty of Southern customers had been rought to failure, came to this new country o repair his fortunes. He located at the lower illage, built the first frame house in the vicin- ty, opened the first store of the place, to which .e gave the name of Panama, and was made postmaster, March 22, 1826, and was very rominent in affairs until his death in 1833. His wife was a woman of great strength of haracter and it is said possessed the gift of ratory to a remarkable degree." The first irth at Panama was that of Eaton, son of Benjamin Smith ; the second that of Mary L., aughter of Mr. Marsh. Both occurred in 827.

Towns: Kiantone-Mina-Poland-Pomfret-Portland.

Kiantone-Kiantone lies upon the south border of the county. It was set off from Car- roll. November 16, 1853, and its name perpe- tuates the memory of the Indians who occu- pied the village on the creek, called by them, Kyenthono. Its surface is undulating in the east and hilly in the west. The highest sum-

mits are about one hundred feet above Chau- tauqua Lake. Conewango creek and its tribu- taries, Stillwater and Kiantone creeks, are its principal bodies of water. The soil is a gravelly loam. Its area is 11,456 acres. Attracted by the beauty of the charming Kiantone region, James Prendergast early articled over twelve
