WHITE'S MOUNT VERNON DIRECTORY.


1281155 INTRODUCTION.


WORD or two of apology is due my patrons for the delay in the appearance of the DIRECTORY,-the first day of November last was the time the Compiler intended for its appearance. On the 14th day of June, 1875, I was stricken down with sickness-so severe, that the following December found me just able to be about, yet not strong enough for hardy exer- cise. In May, 1876, I commenced taking an enumeration of the City, but my last year's disease returning, enfeebled me so much that the work was not completed until about the first day of July following. Being my own type-setter, made it an arduous undertaking, without the lingering effects of my two summers' illness, which compelled me to stop work at different times for three or four days, and even for a week at a time. This is my apology for appearing before you at this late day.


To compensate my patrons for this unavoidable delay, I have given them some forty more pages than I first intended, and added such a variety of useful information, I am sure will be pleasing to my many readers. See Table of Contents.


This DIRECTORY is made up so differently from other works of the kind, that the reader will be interested in almost every page. Those seeking information as to the population of our City, by adding up the first and second columns of figures, the total result will give them the number of inhabitants-the total result of the third and fourth columns will give the number of minors under 21 years of age. According to my count, I make the population a few under five thousand. This is less than many claimed. I do not claim perfection for the DIRECTORY-but I do claim that it is an improvement on all that have been previously published. That is all I claim. Over twenty-five hundred names will be found in the DIRECTORY department alone.


The " THREE SCORE AND TEN " department will be read with deep interest. For the few sketches I have obtained, the state-


iv WHITE'S MOUNT VERNON DIRECTORY.


ments made therein were given by the persons named. They will please accept my thanks. Other sketches were promised, which I should have been pleased to have procured, but my continued ill health made it impossible for me to devote the time necessary to obtained the information required.


If life and health are spared, I shall endeavor to get up an- other work that will contain biographical sketches of all citizens over 70 years of age, not only of this city, but will also include the whole county.


Such errors of omission or commission my kind readers may discover, I respectfully ask them to overlook, for they are more annoying to the writer than to the reader.

LVI. NORMAN W. PUTNAM.


Mr. NORMAN W. PUTNAM, of Gambier, Ohio, was born in Windsor county, Vermont, on the 21st day of October, 1800. Came to Gambier in 1829. Was employed as clerk in the College Store, where he remained nearly five years. Was married to Miss Maria Douglass, in February, 1833, to whom were born ten children-seven now living.


From " Hildreth's Pioneers of Ohio," it appears that all the Putnams, of New England, descended from John Putnam, who emigrated from Buckinghamshire, England, and settled in Salem, Massachusetts, in 1634, where General Israel Putnam was born in 1717. General Rufus Putnam was born at Sutton, Worcester county, Massachusetts, in 1733. At the same place, Sutton, and not far from the same time, the grand-father of Norman Putnam was born. In regard to the exact relationship between the different branches of the Putnam family, our inform- ant is unable to determine.


LVII-LVIII. JAMES S. AND SOPHIA A. SAWER.


Mr. JAMES SMITH SAWER, of Gambier, was born in Leiston, county of Suffolk, England, on the 12th day of October, 1804. Came to Delaware county, Ohio, in 1833. Moved to Gambier in 1834. Went back to England in 1835. Was married to Miss Sophia Adams in 1836. Mr. Sawer returned to Gambier in 1836.


Mrs. SOPHIA A. SAWER, nee Adams, was born in Rushangles, county of Suffolk, England, on the 12th day of June, 1806. This venerable couple have been residents of Gambier since 1836 ..

MOUNT VERNON.


OR a brief sketch of MOUNT VERNON, the compiler of this work, was in hopes of being able to have secured an abler pen than his own. In this he failed. He has been forced to become his own historian. He desires the kind wishes of his fellow-citizens for the success of an undertaking he ventured upon with many doubts and fears.


HOWE's " Early Recollections of Ohio," and the Honorable A. BANNING NORTON'S " History of Knox County, Ohio," both excellent works, has left so little to be said about the early histo- ry of our city, that it is almost impossible to write upon the sub- ject without re-producing that upon which they both spent so much time and labor, and I do not wish to encroach upon their "manor " more than is absolutely required.


I quote a paragraph from Howe's " Recollections," on account of its being more condensed and to the point, than Mr. Norton's. Mr. Norton's account of the early settlement of our city, runs through some sixty pages of his work, and has so many personal anecdotes mixed up in the narrative, as to render it too burden- some for a work of this brief description. Howe writes :


" The early settlers of the county were mainly from the Mid- dle States, with some of New England origin. In 1805 MOUNT VERON was laid out, and named by the proprietors of the soil, who were JOSEPH WALKER, THOMAS B. PATTERSON and BEN- JAMIN BUTLER." Mount Vernon was named after the family residence of General Washington. " At this time the county was thinly settled. Two years after, the principal settlers were, as far as they are recollected, the Rileys, Darlings, Shrimplins, Butlers, Critchfields, Welkers, Dials, Logues and De Witts, on the Vernon river. In other parts of the county the Hurds, the Beams, Hunts and Dimick, Kerr, Ayres, Houck, Dalrymple, Hilliard, the Youngs, Mitchells, Bryants, Knights and Walkers. In the spring of 1807 there were only three families living on the plat of Mount Vernon, viz: Benjamin Butler, tavern keep- er, from Pennsylvania, Peter Coyle, and James Craig. The

early settlers of the village were, besides those named, Joseph and James Walker, Michael Click, David and William Petti- grew, Samuel Kratzer, Gilman Bryant, and Rev. James Smith, who came in 1808, and was the first Methodist clergyman."


The ruse played upon the Commissioners appointed to locate the Seat of Justice for the County of Knox, has been published and narrated so often, that it has become as familiar to all "as a twice told tale," consequently I refrain from giving it place in this sketch. Mr. Norton gives three versions of the affair, as re- lated to him by old settlers. Clinton, the only rival for the prize, at that time, was far ahead of Mount Vernon. submitted with a bad grace, and for over five years, made great efforts to obtain a re-hearing. But all in vain.


The first store opened in Mount Vernon, was owned by Mr. Gilman Bryant, and was situated on the lot where now stands the store of Messrs. J. C. Swetland & Co., south west corner of Main and Gambier streets. "It was a little story and-a-half sycamore cabin, where he kept powder, shot, lead, whisky, etc., for sale to the Indians, and the few whites, in 1807."-Norton.


" The first brick building was erected in the spring of 1815, by Mr. Gilman Bryant."-Howe. During the past season, this old building has been demolished, and the Honorable HENRY B. CURTIS has erected on its site one of the most substantial and beautiful public buildings in Central Ohio.


" The first church, the Old School Presbyterian, (now down,) was built about 1817. It was of brick, forty feet square, and one story high ; the first Pastor was the Rev. James Scott. The first licensed preacher in the county was the Rev. William Thrift, a Baptist, from Loudon county, Virginia, who came in 1807, and travelled from house to house."-Howe.


Upon the site of the church just alluded to, the Presbyterian society erected a large and substantial frame church. This last building was destroyed by fire, and a few years since the mem- bers of the church erected the present beautiful edifice. The present Pastor is the Rev. O. H. Newton.


The first boundary lines of the city I recollect of seeing, though I placed but little confidence in its reliability, was given by a Mount Vernon correspondent of the Columbus Ohio State Journal, and appeared under date of January 9, 1869, and reads as follows :


" Mount Vernon is bounded on the north by the Fifth Ward and John H. Roberts ; on the east by Gambier Hill and the but-

WHITE'S MOUNT VERNON DIRECTORY.


ter and egg wagons of George B. Potwin ; on the south by the waters of Owl Creek, the Gas Works and Arentrue's brewery ; and on the west by George Raymond's tannery, and Norton's Mill Race ! "


February 26, 1845, the State Legislature passed an act entitled " An Act to Incorporate the Town of Mount Vernon, in Knox county," the first section reads as follows :


SEC. 1. Be it Ordained by the General Assembly of the State of Ohio, That so much of the town of Mount Vernon, in the coun- ty of Knox, as is comprised in the limits hereinafter described, that is to say, all the in-lots, streets and alleys, and other public ground bordered by the same, within the old original town plat, and its several recorded and confirmed additions, together with all fractions of lots or parcels of ground lying between the old town plat and either of said additions, especially to include such fractions or portions of ground not already laid out into town lots, as lie between the south line of Hamtramck street, and the north line of Burgess street, extended between the Ham- tramck addition and Norton's addition ; and so much of like ground as lies south of the north line of Chestnut street, extend- ed east to the Coshocton road, and to include one tier of in-lots of usual size on the north side of Chestnut street, so extended as aforesaid ; also embracing the following grounds-commen- cing at Lambton Square, at the junction of the Mansfield and Wooster roads ; thence along the Mansfield road to the intersec- tion of the north line of the cross street or road, to the new grave-yard ; thence along the north line of said cross street to the grave-yard lot ; thence north, and so running around said grave-yard lot and including the school house lot to the south east corner thereof; thence following the aforesaid grave yard street, to the east line of the Wooster road ; thence southward along the east line of the said Wooster road and the east line of Gay street, as extended to North street ; thence west to Main or Market street; thence north to the place of beginning, except such lots and streets in any of said plats or additions as have been vacated; Provided, That this exception shall not exclude the vacated lots and streets east of Division street, and north of Front street in the eastern addition, but the same are hereby in- cluded in the limits according to the eastern boundary of said addition, as originally laid out and recorded, be and the same is hereby created into a town corporate, to be known by the name of the town of MOUNT VERNON ; Provided, That all ground hereafter laid out and recorded as town lots, or additions to said town, by name or otherwise, if contiguous thereto, shall, from the time of being so recorded, be included within the corporate limits of said town and constitute a part thereof.


Farther provisions of the above quoted act of incorporation, divided the town into five Wards, and allotted one Councilman to each Ward, and provided for their election ; and also, for the

election of one Mayor, and one Recorder for the town at large. The first officers elected under this act of incorporation, were as follows : ISAAC DAVIS, Mayor-JAMES SMITH, JR., Recor- der-and the following Councilmen-First Ward, J. ELLIOTT- Second Ward, JOB EVANS-Third Ward, R. C. HURD-Fourth Ward, H. B. CURTIS-Fifth Ward, CHARLES COOPER.


Farther provisions of the act provided for the election of one town Treasurer, and one town Marshal, and one Street Commis- sioner. For these places I find that A. C. ELLIOTT was elected as Treasurer, C. L. BENNETT, Marshal, and J. L. YOUNG, Street Commissioner.


SEC. LIX. of the Municipal Code, passed May 3, 1852, provides " for the election of two Trustees for each Ward."


"SEC. XXI. Any town which by the special act of incorpo- ration has been divided into Wards, shall be denominated a city of the Second Class, if the Council shall so determine."-Ohio Law, passed 1853.


SEC. VII., of an Act to provide for the Organization of Muni- cipal Corporations, reads in part, as follows : " No incorporated village shall be advanced to the grade of a City of the Second Class until it shall have attained a population of five thousand." -Passed May 7, 1869.


FIRST WORK EVER DONE ON THE STREETS OF MOUNT VERNON.


Mr. Norton, in his "History of Knox County," pages 95-6, gives this description of the first work ever done on the streets of Mount Vernon :


" Jonathan Hunt informs us he was one of the volunteer workers on the streets, at the time the Commissioners came on, (to locate the county seat,) and that Gilman Bryant sort of boss- ed the work, and, being a cripple, he tended on them, and gave out the whisky and water, cheering them up as he came around, saying, 'work like men in harvest, but keep sober, boys.'- Mike Click, and John Click, his brother, drove the oxen. Mike was a bully hand with a team, and made them tear up stumps, haul logs, plow, and scrape, as necessary. Men never worked better on a road than that force then did. They chopped down trees, cut off logs, grubbed, dug down rough places, filled up gulleys, burned log heaps, and made a wonderful change in the appearance of things. It was the first work ever done on the streets of Mount Vernon."

MOUNT VERNON'S PRESENT BOUNDARY LINES.


N the zd day of March, 1870, our City Council passed " An Ordinance Defining and Establishing the Corporate Limits of the City of Mount Vernon, Ohio." The provisions of this Ordinance, I doubt not, will be new to most of my readers, and as a part of the current history of our beautiful City, the compi- ler of this work feels constrained to re-produce it here entire, for the information of our citizens. The provisions of the Ordi- nance reads as follows :


SEC. 1. Be it ordained by the City Council of the City of Mount Vernon, That the City Corporation Line of the City of Mount Vernon be, and is hereby established by the following described lines, to-wit:
