1681076 PREFACE.


DURING the past few years a marvellous interest has developed in historic research. In the physical world geologists have explored the depths, astronomers the heights, while archeologists have revelled in the intermediate fields. Step by step investigation has advanced, some- times pausing to learn of a plant, and yet again wringing information from a world. An uncouth skull tells its story to the osteologist, a mound to the archaeologist, the bashful rocks to a geologist, and a dis- tant world to the astronomer. Naturalists have found


" Books in running brooks ; sermons in stones."


Everywhere historic research has been pushing backward and farther backward, until each plant and fossil and rock has been compelled to tell something of the story of its being. This tendency, so manifest in the physical world, is also observable in the world of man.


While a fossil is exhuming in the one field, a Troy is unearthing in the other, while each is asked for the narrative of its past. While one specialist seeks the development of organized life, another traces the development of organized society. By patient research the student follows the development of man from the individual on through the family, the clan, the community, the State, the nation, and back again to a foundation in the family. The mutation of nations taught the rise and fall of empire, for the ruins of one became the foundations of others. So with rulers, regardless of the power they exercised, and the splendor of their reign, for over the grave of one the sceptre of a suc- cessor is seen. At this point history became complex, and specialists entered the field to treat of particular races or independent States or nations. Even here classification became necessary to avoid incom- pleteness or unwieldiness. National history was then treated by periods, until political divisions suggested the local rather than the epochal method. Under this method the United States furnish a national his- tory, each division a State history, and, finally, each county a local history. This method brought with it pioneer societies, which in turn gave rise to the publication of local histories to supply a demand already created by the pioneer associations.


This unassuming volume only dares announce itself as an effort to gratify this home demand. The plan adopted natarally suggested itself on account of its chronological simplicity, and will be found to embrace five general yet distinet departments.


Ist. A general Introductory ; Discovery ; The Indians ; Indian Treaties ; Indian Tribes ; Titles to Ohio; Military Expeditions ; Mound Builders ; Indian Wars; Life of Wayne; Council at Green- ville ; The Shawnees; Prominent Indians.


2d. The Northwest Territory; Title of Virginia; Ordinance of 1787 ; Population ; Ohio Land Company ; Settlement ; Offeers ; Forts ; Moravian Missions ; Friends at Wapakoneta ; Post-Offices.


3d. Ohio .- Ratification of States; Constitution ; Incidents of 1812; General Harmar; Stephen Johnston ; John Chapman ; Post-Offices : Counties; Territorial and State Governors ; Election and Population Statistics.


4the Van Wert County .- The Civil Organization ; Sketch of each township, with its towns, schools, industries, and churches, supple- mented by many biographical notices of residents, and deceased pioneers.


5th. Mercer County .- Narrative as Civil Organization ; Separate Townships ; Schools; Societies ; Enterprises ; Churches ; Biographical Sketches.


In the presentation of general matter which antedates the formation of Van Wert and Mercer Counties, it has been sought to present only such events as appeared to sustain a close relationship to the counties particularly under consideration. With this end in view, it was foun -! necessary to glance back to the period of discovery, in order to trace out something of the chain of causes which brought about the formation and development of this section. In treating of the settlement it was necessary to consider the Indian tribes which held possession of the lands, and to treat of those Indians it was necessary to look back to the discovery of America. In this research almost every step is atten li by incidental events and characters which dare not be ignored. Each step, too, in search of the Indians revealed the imprints of another race so distinet that if not treated to some extent it might be confounded with the present race of Indians, and unfounded assumptions obtain. So a chapter is devoted to the mound builders, and this chapter neces- sitated another, devoted to archeology and osteology. So it has been almost impossible to circumseribe the work and at the same time pre- serve consecutiveness, relationship, and cause and effect, even if the idea of completeness and symmetry was entirely ignored. The work, there- fore, although ostensibly and really a narrative of the principal eventy which have characterized the formation and development of Van Wert and Mercer Counties, is necessarily much more comprehensive than its mere title indicates. In fact it has been no easy matter to determine just what material should be received and what rejected. In purely local affairs, it was difficult to determine upon a satisfactory limit, and even when this was done, such material as was generally acceptable required rare scrutiny to separate absolute truth from colored fancy, or absoluto exaggeration. The object in view was the presentation of a volume

which would do justice to the several features of this community by tracing its growth from the period of its infancy.


Such is the general plan of the work, and although every endeavor has been put forth to render the volume complete and reliable, we are conscious that defects and errors will be discovered. Every intelligent reader will appreciate the difficulty of preparing a work of this nature which will prove even approximately perfect, while absolute perfection need neither be demanded nor assumed. Dependent largely upon the inemory of the older citizens, in the absence of any historical society's records, it will not appear surprising if every incident of settlement and growth did not find itself recorded in this volume. No pains have been spared in an earnest effort to attain accuracy and completeness. The material has been gathered from every available source, and com- piled with a view to the presentation of valuable matter in an attractive manner.


Without daring to indulge the belief that this aim has been realized in every instance, it is still hoped the effort will meet the approval of those readers who, knowing the fallibility of every endeavor, do not demand absolute perfection, especially where it is least to be attained. To such readers the volume is submitted without further comment or apology.


In this connection we return our thanks to all those who in any manner assisted in the collection of material, or otherwise contributed to the success of the work. Especially are our thanks due the officers of both Van Wert and Mercer counties for their many courtesies and valuable assistance throughout the prosecution of the work.


Hoping the volume will not prove altogether unworthy of the effort it has cost, it is placed in the homes of the people for whom it was designed, and whose liberality rendered it a possibility.
