HISTORY of MONTPELIER
By MARY L. SAUNDERS
EDITOR'S NOTE-It is with regret that we omit a large number of items so generously given Mrs. Saunders to aid in her history as given here- with. Lack of space makes this necessary and we earnestly hope no criticism will be made of Mrs. Saunders' efforts to relate so many of the really im- portant names, dates and incidents that go to make up the story of Mont- pelier.
Montpelier is the principal town in Superior township. It was laid out in 1845 by Jesse Tucker and I. K. Briner. Upon land owned by William S. Miller, Superior township was or- ganized June 3rd, 1839 and was nam- ed by Geo. Bible, who informed the Commissioners that there were some very good townships in the county, but he lived in one that was superior to all, from which it derived iīs name.
Montpelier remained only a town for thirty years, and was not incor- porated until 1875.
With the completion of the Detroit and Butler branch of the Wabash, a rapid increase in population began, and the later addition of the Mont- pelier and Chicago and Montpelier and Toledo branches of the same, ac- celerated the growth of Montpelier.
The United States Census tells the story of the population in 1880, as being four hundred and five; 1890, twelve hundred and ninety-three; 1900, one thousand, eight hundred and sixty-nine; 1940,as three thous- and seven hundred.
George Bible, one of the first set- tlers, came about 1834. He said there were no white settlers in the town- ship. The Indians had a large camp on the river, and within the present corporation limits of Montpelier.
The second cabin was built by Rob- ert McDaniels, the third by George Wisman, who settled in 1836, and the fourth by Joseph Pugh. Charles Brun- dydge settled in Superior township in December 1839.
Among other settlers were Robert Ogle, Horatio Clark, George Wisman and Joseph White. The first election held April 5, 1845-J. D. Kriebel, Mayor; Jacob Leu, Clerk; John Aller, Treasurer; Jesse Blue, Marshal.
Although there is difference
of opinion it is conceded C. W. Mallory opened the first general merchandise store in Montpelier in 1845, Follow- ing him in the trade were Brown and Crissey and James T. Platt.
Prior to Mr. Mallory's engagement in business Jacob Snyder and Wil- liam Crissey had a small store and ashery west of town on the farm of Charles Brundydge. In its day, it was known as "Tuckertown".
Mr. Louden says that in 1844 the place where Montpelier now is, con- tained only a saw min operated by water power, and owned by Tucker and Hueston; and this one mill was the only manufacturing establishment in the town.
In 1865 Lewis Wingert located here with the Wingert foundry. At that time there was one steam saw-mill, one grist mill operated by water pow- er, one ashery, two blacksmith shops, one shoe shop, one furniture and one wagon chop.
There had been a tannery built in 1848 but was soon abandoned.
Joseph Diebeley built a grist mill in 1861 known as the Montpelier City Mills. Later another grist mill was built on Main street by Mr. Gratz,
The first Law office was opened 1880 by George Strayer, soon follow- ed by Col. W. O. Johnston.
The Montpelier Eagle was the first newspaper, an organ of the Spiritual- ists. Only a few issues were published.
In 1852 Judge John A. Dobbs es- tablished a Democratic paper. It's career was a brief one. On September 18th, 1880, Ford and Smalley publish- ed the first copy of the Montpelier Enterprise. Other papers have been started but the Enterprise still lives in connection with the Leader.
The first school house in Superior
- 2 - -
township was built of logs. Erected in 1841. Known as the "Bible School House". During the summer of 1849 a young woman taught a school of youths in a shanty which stood with- in the present limits of Montpelier.
Not long after this a frame struc- ture was built, about 24x30 feet in size, and this answered the educa- tional demands for several years.
In 1874 a new house, about 30x40 feet was built, having two stories. A Mr. Collister had management of the schools.
In 1875 G. W. Dustin had charge until 1878. 1878-79, A. A. Colons; 1879-80, Ezra W. Bechtol; 1880-81 to 1886, W. A. Saunders.
It was many years after .white settlers appeared before a physician located in Superior township.
In June 1854 Dr. A. L. Snyder commenced practice here.
Dr. Isaac M. Snyder located here in July 1859. The two physicians form- ed a partnership until the senior part- ner moved to Bryan.
Dr. Joseph A. Weitz, after grad- uating from the University of Mich- igan, came to Montpelier in 1886 and bought a drug store. Two years later he sold the store and gave all his time 'to the practice of medicine, which he followed until his death in 1935. (Dr. Weitz' death occurred very suddenly one evening after he had made an excellent speech upon the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Ladies' Historical Society, at the Masonic Temple. While lustily sing- ing "God We With You "Til We Meet Again", he collapsed, and passed away as he was carried to his office next door.)
From 1894 ,to 1897 he filled the
chair of Pathology in the Michigan College of Medicine and Surgery at Detroit. From 1897 to 1899 he filled the chair of Neurology in the same institution.
Among the early physicians were Dr. S. W. Mercer, Dr. Blair Hag- gerty, Dr. J. W. Summers, Dr. Hogue, Dr. Wertz and Dr. H. M. Byall.
Among the men who have helped to build Montpelier are the names of David Stauffer, Jacob Leu, Joel Krie- bel, N. G. Lash, Harrison Louden, T. L. Dunlap, Dr. I. M. Snyder, W. S. Boon, Louis Wingert, Nathan Fry, Adam Lattanner and many others.
The first white child born in Mont- pelier was George Briner and the first preacher was a Rev. Mr. Hulbert.
Montpelier is well supplied with social and beneficial orders, each hav- ing a large membership.
Montpelier has two banks, "The TTational Bank of Montpelier and the Farmers' and Merchants State and Savings Bank.
In Montpelier the oldest church is the German Lutheran, built in 1880.
The United Brethren built a church in 1869, which they used until the di- vision of the church. Now both have modern churches.
The Methodist, Presbyteran, Dis- ciple, Catholic, Free Methodist, all have fine buildings.
The Empire Hotel was built by Mr. Wolf. About 1878 the Lattanner Hotel was opened, now known as the Allen Hotel. .
Montpelier is proud of its schools, churches, water-works, telephone and electric system, factories and above all its paved streets. It was noted for its muddy streets until 1911 when Main Street was paved.

THE SCHOOLS of MONTPELIER
By SUPT. H. W. NEWTON
The history of the schools of Mont- pelier unfolds as an integral part of. the history of the village itself. A glimpse through the pages of Mont- pelier history shows a continuous development in the school system to meet the needs of a growing village.
In 1840, before the village itself had been formally laid out, Miss Su- sana Perkins taught a group of children from six families of the vi- cinity in a small bulding on the banks of the St. Joe. Ths building was soon supplanted by a better one and in 1874 a new two story, two room struc- ture was erected. By 1880 the popula- tion had increased to 405 and another and larger building was built. With the advent of the Wabash Railroad the population jumped from 405 in the year 1880, to 1293 in the year 1890, and in the year 1887 the first wing of a brick building was Erected on the present elementary school ground's with the building facing Jefferson St. In 1900 the population had reached 1869 and another brick addition was added to the south end of the new building. In the year 1915 the main part of the present high school build- ing was built on East Main St., leav ing the previous bulding entirely fo: elementary use.
During the next twenty-three years the population became more stable and no new buildings were built. However, educational progress dur- ing that period had been rapid and in the year 1938 a new $265,000 pro- gram of plant expansion and modern- ization was launched. The obsolete and unsafe elementary building was replaced by the present modern ele- mentary building, facing Platt St., in which Montpelier elementary children have the advantage of the most mod- ern classrooms, heated, lighted and ventilated in a manner to promote health among its occupants and equipped with the most modern visual education, physical education and
music facilities. At the same time the high school was enlarged and modern- ized by the reconstruction of the au- ditorium and the addition of a gym- nasium which is considered to be one of the best in northwest Ohio. The physical plant has also been improved by a modern, lighted athletic field and the modernization of the Home Economics department. The addition of an instructor in Instrumental Mu- sic and the addition of Vocational Home Economics to the curriculum of the high school has kept the curricu- lum in line with the trend of the
- 4 -
times. The addition of shop courses offering basic training for various trades is the next step being con- templated for the future development of the schools. The progress of the Montpelier Schools in accordance with the demands of the times is indicated by the fact that the high school has been continuously accredited by the North Central Association of Second- ary Schools and Colleges since 1925.
Through the variety of subjects of- fered in its high school, Montpelier has always attracted a large group of high school students from surround- ing areas. This fact, together with the increase in population of the village and the development of a system of modern bus transportation, has in- creased the enrollment in the high school so that its original graduating class of four members in 1884 has in-
creased to a record class of 74 grad- uates in 1934. A record enrollment of 348 pupils in the high school for 1940 with a group of 82 Seniors listed in- dicates that this year will again raise the record for graduating classes at Montpelier High.
As in past years, Montpelier Schools have again been rebuilt to meet the needs of the times. The record of the past and the cooperative effort of the Board of Education, Village Govern- ment, and citizenry of the community which made this and other recent community projects possible, indicates that as we set our faces toward the future one fact will be certain-Mont- pelier has furnished in the past and will continue in the future to furnish educational facilities for its youth which will allow them to meet the demands of the age in which they live.

OUR POSTOFFICE
An interesting bit of history Is wov- en into the story of our Post Office. The first office in Williams County was known as Eagle Creek, being es- tablished on August 30th, 1843, with a Mr. Robert Ogle as the postmaster. Three years later the name was changed to Montpelier.
Because of the lack of railroads in those days, a "rider" was assigned to make certain routes, and that route serving Montpelier was from Pulaski, Ohio, in a northerly direction to Hills- dale, Michigan. The round trip of this routewas made each week, 47 miles each way, a Mr. Metcalf being the "rider". The local postmaster's sal- ary was quite a bit less than of these days, as in 1845 his earnings were but $9.55, while the total receipts were less than $20.00, as compared to $16,057.90 for 1939.
Not as much mail had to be car- ried in those days and the rate was much higher as the records show that 1 ounce carried 30 miles cost 6 cents, carried 80 miles cost 10 cents,
carried 150 miles cost 121/2 cents, car- ried 400 miles cost 1834 cents and over 400 miles cost 25 cents.
Not until 1882 was the Postal Money Order (Domestic) established, while International service was op- cned twenty years later. About the same time, 1902, the Rural Delivery service was begun, the salary of the three carriers here being $500.00 each, per year. From the names of earlier carriers we recall those of E. P. Wis- man, Frank Myers, Herman Walden- meyer, Clyde Siple, Frank Hoskinson, Edward Porter and A. L. Strayer. Lo- cal delivery of mail to residence was begun in 1917 and eight years after- Ward we were accorded City Delivery service. A staff of Seventeen now render efficient service.
In June of 1940 we dedicated a new completely modern, brick building 'to mark a forward step in the civic progress of the village of which we are so proud. A most impressive structure along the modern lines em- ployed by "Uncle Sam" in his build-
-6 -
ing of similar buildings throughout the United States, it stands at the corner of Empire and Washington Streets, just a short block from the
principal business center, and will be adequate to serve Montpelier's needs for many years to come.
