INTRODUCTION


From time immemorial the Art of Farming has been a continual battle against nature. Yet adverse weather conditions in themselves have seldom driven the farmer to the city. His fight to feed a hungry world has kept him on the land where he has learned through nature to live close to God. It is to the man who plants and harvests the crops and the businessman who serves him, that this volume is respectfully dedicated. The direct purpose of the Rural Directory is to bring a closer relationship between the farm families of the community and the businessman who serves them.


The information found in the directory will be found to be accurate and to the point. Alphabetically, it lists every rural family in the county, his wife, their RFD, phone ex- change, road, acreage, ownership, type farm or occupation, their children and ages -- this listing will help you locate and to know every family in your county. There is a large, detailed map and a completely indexed road section to show you exactly where every individual lives. For the businessman the Rural Directory. supplies a wealth of reliable information of the most concise form. The rural family is provided with gardening, butchering, canning, storing, freezing and cooking tables; County, state and national histories, Agricultural statistics, farm forms, tables, and a buyers guide containing business listings; which when carefully used will save the farmer time, trouble and ex- pense. There may be errors but we have worked to make your directory as accurate as is humanly possible.


Our Rural Directories involve from 10,000 to 25,000 man hours and car mileage equivalent to trips from 3,000 to 6,000 miles. The advertisers whose names you will find in these pages have brought you this volume at a small cost,and through their cooperation the buyers guide reaches every rural family in the County. They felt the expense justi- fied, if only to show that they too, are a part of the Rural Community. Like the neighbor, who pitches in with the planting or harvest, these advertisers are ready to help in their own way; by having the things needed on hand when they are required.


For assistance and information necessary for the preparation of this book, grateful acknowledgement is made to the thousands of householders, throughout the county, who very graciously supplied pertinent data and contributed of their time and experience. Should any of you have further advice or suggestions for improving the Rural Directory, it will be gratefully received.

WILLIAMS COUNTY HISTORY


By Randolph C. Downes


Williams County, Ohio's northwest corner, is a richly agricultural area. Its fine fertile soil is a result of ages of geological action. This part of our earth was once a series of layers of rock with the acid-resisting limestone in a dominant pro- portion. Then came the glaciers. These were mile-thick ice sheets which invaded the area as a result of the increasing cold of the climate - the ice and snow not entirely melting in the summer, so that it pushed slowly southward. This ground and rasped the surface with its rocky bottom, and brought soil, vegetable and animal matter from the north to mix with the soil already here. The result was a rich mix- ture with a fairly level surface that considerably reduced erosion. A final treatment was given the surface when the last glacier withdrew leaving a great lake behind it for many centuries. This added a layer of lake muck. Evidences of the shores of one of these ancient lakes may be seen in the ridge or ancient shore line which crosses the southeast corner of the county just .west of Bryan. (Routes 2 and 127).


The thick forest and brush that sprang up in this swampy land was an ideal cover for the teeming wild game that gave the Indians, starting with the Mound Builders, a rich resource for their hunting, fishing and trapping activities. The Mound Builders disappeared, for some mysterious reasons, but, with the growth of French power in Canada in the 17th and 18th centuries, northern tribesmen such as the Potawatomi, Ottawa and Chippewa moved in to make the country their homeland . English power succeeded to French as the result of the French and Indian wars, and, in 1763, England took over Canada. This strengthened the Indian claim because the British wanted to trade for furs. Hence the tribesmen resisted the American settle- ments north of the Ohio River, but were severely defeated in 1794 by the United States Army under General "Mad Anthony" Wayne at the battle of Fallen Timbers near modern Toledo. Indian titles to southern Ohio were ceded at the Treaty of Greenville in 1795. Indian hopes revived again during the War of 1812 when the British again assured them of their rights, but the defeat, in 1813, of the Anglo-Indian army, led by General Proctor and Tecumseh at the Battle of the Thames, ended all Indian hopes. By treaty of 1817 the Indian title was extinguished so that, within twenty years, most tribesmen had left the Maumee Valley for Kansas or had gone north to join remnants of their tribes in Canada and Michigan.


- 6 -


The land was gradually prepared for American institutions. The English title having fallen to the United States by virtue of the American Revolution, the eastern states were induced to pool their western lands in the national domain by Maryland's refusal to ratify the Articles of Confederation until the big states ceded their western claims. The state claiming the Williams County area was Connecticut. The United States then proceeded to survey the new land into farm-sized units and devise a policy of sale to actual settlers for $2.00 an acre. The area north of the Ohio was erected into the Northwest Territory with the promise of statehood for parts of it upon the attainment by each of 60,000 population. This stage came for Ohio in 1803.


However, it was not until 1820 that the promise of county government for swampy, forested, and Indian infested northwest Ohio was given. In this year 13 new counties were laid out (Wood, Van Wert, Mercer, Putnam, Allen, Hancock, Hardin, Crawford, Marion, Seneca, Henry, Paulding, and Williams). Williams County was part of Wood until 1824 when the former was given separate status with its county seat at Defiance, and with Paulding, Henry and Putnam attached temporarily . Not until 1850 did the county attain its present boundaries as the result of the success- ive creation of Putnam (1834), Henry (1834), Paulding (1839), Defiance (1845), and Fulton (1850). The county seat was transferred to Bryan in 1840. However, in 1835, the county was enlarged when Ohio was awarded the area in dispute with Michigan . The disputed area in Williams County consists of the present northern tier of town- ships, Mill Creek, Madison, Bridgewater, and Northwest. It was originally part of Michigan because it was north of the line due east from the southern tip of Lake Michigan, as specified in the Northwest Ordinance. (This line was called the Fulton Line.) In 1835 the state of Ohio was stronger in national affairs than the territory of Michigan so that Michigan had to let go of the area (which included Toledo) in exchange for the northern peninsula. The county was named after David Williams, leader of the three captors of the British spy, Major John Andre during the Revolu- tionary War.


Williams County was originally expected to be a very sparsely settled area because of the swampy, wooded and remote nature of its land. That is why the county seat was originally at Defiance at its southeast corner. But as the settlers, in the 1830's and 1840's, felled the trees, cleared the brush, drained the swamps, plowed the land, and built roads it became apparent that its lands were among the richest in the state. Thus, in 1845, Defiance County was cut off, leaving Williams to its land-locked fate. This was no hardship because, in 1843, the Miami and Lake Erie Canal was opened, creating an outlet via Defiance for the country's corn and pork, into the trade route to the Atlantic via Lake Erie and the Erie Canal. Later plank roads and railroads made for a more direct outlet to Toledo so that the population grew from the paltry 387 of 1830 to 20,991 in 1870. The assumption by the county government of the responsibility of creating an orderly ditch laying and clearing system made it possible for the farmers to tile their lowlands and increase their production.


Increased dairy production reflects many new emphases. The Williams County Dairy Service Unit provides testing services, artificial insemination, marketing facili- ties, disease control, and general educational information. About 18% of the cows are now bred artificially. Hay production has been stepped up by the planting of mixtures of ladino, broom grass, clovers and alfalfa. The soil, being considerably leeched of its original limestone content, is now limed to the extent of about 15,000 tons a year from quarries in Lucas and Sandusky counties. Drainage, fertilization, proper rotation with corn and wheat have helped. So, likewise, have the use of field balers and choppers which permit quick cuttings at the time of maximum food value. The use of hybrid seed corn from local as well as outside producers has increased corn production which has been further improved by the use of the mechanical cornpicker. This, in turn, has led to increased efficiency in hog production.


Farm productions move quickly to market via the hard road and the ever service- able gasoline trucks. In the case of milk, much finds its way to factories in Bryan, Defiance and Montpelier for mass production into condensed milk and cheese. Fluid milk for home consumption is marketed at Toledo, Cleveland and Fort Wayne. Cream for butter goes largely to the Michigan towns of Montgomery, Coldwater and Litchfield. Eggs find a large scale market in Detroit and at Napoleon. Broiler production is beginning to become significant. Behind these market activities are the great benefits of the radio, the newspaper and the daily mail. Electricity has found its way to practically every farm with the services of private companies and the Rural Electri - fication Administration about evenly balanced.
