A Christian Endeavor Society with a membership of sixty, is one of the best features of the First Reformed church work, and there is also a Junior C. E. Society that is well attended and is doing good work. The Brotherhood of Andrew and Philip was organized in connection with this church January 27, 1904, with a charter membership of ten men, with William Raber, president, Adolph Kanel, vice president, L. H. Roby, secretary, and Ned Detrick, as treasurer. The object of this society is the spread of Christ's Kingdom among men, and it has done much good work in the town. At present the officers are Henry Claus, president, Clarence Bowman, vice president, Frank Strahm, secretary, and William Weber, treasurer. There is also an Ushers' Association kept up ; King's Daughters' Circle and a B. of A. and P. Gymnasium Association ; also a Sisterhood of Mary and Martha, organized in 1909.
When the people who belonged to the First Methodist church in South Kenton withdrew from the parent organization and started their own church-the Epworth Methodist Episcopal-there were but 23 members. However Rev. W. T. Stockstill, a young minister who had been preaching but a year or two, was sent to them in connection with three other churches-Silver Creek, St. Paul and Lynn Valley-and a formal organization was made about the year 1896. The little company met in the South Kenton Union Sunday school building and in a hall, but all the time they were working for a permanent edifice.
In 1899 President Bashford of the O. W. U., at Delaware, dedicated the beautiful building at the corner of Detroit and Espy streets to the

worship of God, and since then a sure and steady growth has marked the history of the work. Under the leadership of Rev. Stockstill, various church activities were established, and the church rapidly grew in number and interest. The building and lot cost approximately $14,000. A fine Sunday school room adds to the seating capacity of the church, and the basement is used for entertainments and social purposes. In 1905 Rev. D. G. Hall succeeded Rev. Stockstill, and in his hands the work still prospered. Much of the indebtedness was cleared off, and the Sunday school was greatly increased in efficiency. In 1908 Rev. J. J. Richards was sent to take charge of the work and he is the present pastor. The Sunday school enrolls 250 members and has an able superintendent in James S. Wetherill. A flourishing Ladies' Aid Society, an Epworth League Society with 50 members, and a weekly prayer meeting are kept up, in connection with the church. The membership has increased to about 450, and altogether this is one of the most loyal, hard working and devoted congregations in the city.
Payne A. M. E. Chapel : In 1870 Rev. John Wesley Stewart, then the pastor of the Bellefontaine circuit, came to Kenton to organize an A. M. E. church. He preached in the basement of the First M. E. church, where a class had previously been organized and received the names of the following members: James Mitchell, H. Henry Russell, Thomas Johnson, James Gaskins, Mr. Logan, Elizabeth Mitchell, Cor- delia Russell, Missouri Brown, Florida Johnson, Sarah Baskerville, Thornton White. Later at the home of James Mitchell the organization
311
HISTORY OF HARDIN COUNTY
was perfected with James Mitchell, Thomas Johnson, James Gaskins, Mr. Logan and Henry Russell as the first officers. The Sunday school was organized in 1873 by Rev. Cumberland, with Isaiah Conway as the first superintendent, Mrs. C. Chambers and Mrs. Sarah Baskerville were the first teachers. The following have since served as superintendents of the Sunday school: Rev. M. J. Toles, Rev. J. M. Childers, Mrs. S. Baskerville, Mr. C. Price, Rev. Oliver Childers, Mrs. Lina Jackson and Thomas Watson.
The following pastors have served the church since its organization : Revs. E. Cumberland, M. M. Smith, J. Cole, D. W. Mason. Harrison Lewis, John M. Lewis, George R. Blount, Henderson Gray, Daniel R. Lewis, Jesse Henderson, IIenry M. Toney, Mount C. Dyer, J. Allen Bynoe and M. T. Maxwell. From this church the following persons have been licensed and sent out to preach the gospel: M. T. Artis, George Stephen, M. J. Toles, J. M. Childers, James Prettyman, Oliver Childers, Lewis Toles, William Watson and Grant Clemens. Mrs. Sadie Stout has been licensed as an evangelist for the local church.
The growth of the church has not been as rapid as could be desired, but considering all things it has done very well. The membership now numbers sixty and the Sunday school has more than thirty members. The church is located at the corner of Market and Carey and is a frame structure. At present, under the leadership of the able pastor, Rev. M. T. Maxwell, the members are discussing plans for erecting a new church on the present site.
The colored Baptist church of Kenton was organized in 1875 by Rev. George Collins at Robinson's schoolhouse in Buck township, and afterwards moved to Kenton. There were sixteen charter members. They met in various places from 1878 till 1881, when a little frame church bought from the congregation of the Church of Christ and moved to the lot on East Summit street, where it now stands. From time to time this church has been repaired, and it is still in good condition. The church records have not been very well kept, and the names of all ministers are not known. The first pastor was Rev. William Day and the present one Rev. C. Payne. A Sunday school is connected with the church under the leadership of David Manley and has about seventy members. The present church roll numbers about forty.
Rev. B. F. Eaton organized a little band under the name First Universalist church, in April, 1876, and for a time the society flourished. It has twenty-eight members, many of them influential citizens in the community, but never has owned a church edifice. The services were held in the courthouse, Masonic hall and often in the pretty little grove belonging to Mr. John Espy, one of the leading members, a mile and a half south of the city. However, few new members were added to the
312
HISTORY OF HARDIN COUNTY
roll, and when the elderly men and women passed away the organization ceased. The venerable Mr. Hosea Johnson of Buck township is the sole surviving member, as far as can be learned.
The members of the United Brethren organization have died or gone into other congregations, as it has been twenty-five years since anything like a church was kept up. At one time, beginning with the year 1878, quite a number of Kenton people held to this faith and services were regularly held in Goodin's Hall, the Wesleyan Methodist church, or at private honses. Revs. Thomas H. Harvey, Jacob Cost and William Parks were the best known of the ministers.
The Christian Science society of Kenton was organized with seven members, February 20, 1907, and now has twelve members; but abont twenty-five people attend the meetings regularly. It holds services every Sunday at 10:30 A. M., with Sunday school at 9:30 A. M .; and they also have a testimony meeting every Wednesday evening at 7:30 P. M.
The Wesleyan Methodist church is a small frame structure at the corner of Leighton and North streets, in the western part of Kenton. Although services are held regularly, no definite information concerning this church could be obtained.

TIPPECANOE CLUB OF HARDIN COUNTY, OHIO
1888
T HIS CLUB was organized at Kenton August 4, 1888, and is composed of only veteran voters who voted for President in 1840. The object of the club is to enroll all of these vot- ers now in the county who intend to vote for Harrison and Morton in 1888. Harvey Buckminster, aged 88, is President, and Dr. A. W. Munson, aged 69, is Secretary. Their motto is "Encour- agement to American genius and enterprise, protection for Amer- ican labor and American interests, perfect freedom for each American citizen, high or low, rich or poor, white or colored,
native born or adopted, to cast one ballot for the candidate of his choice at each election and to have that vote counted as cast; liberal pensions for the defenders of the Republic and Governmental care of their widows and orphans." For the promotion and maintenance of these principles each member hereby pledges his hearty co-operation. The club numbers one hundred twenty-two voters, thirty-six of whom are repre- sented on this card, whose names, ages and numbers are as follows:

The citizens of Hardin county have always been progressive and intelligent, so it is not surprising that while the county was still young various organizations flourished. Of course it would be impossible to give the history of every club and lodge that ever was organized in the county, and especially the political clubs of which every campaign brought out a number, but as far as possible mention is made of the important ones, and especially those that lived until the present. Of political clubs beginning with the days of General Scott and Andrew Jackson, there have been hundreds of political organizations, but no attempt will be made to name them with the dates on which they were organized. Those given are outside that realm and have to do with the social and literary and religious life of the community.
One of the earliest organizations of the county was the Kenton Lyceum organized at Kenton, Ohio, November 21, 1852. It was a literary society for the purpose of having lectures by home talent and also distinguished public men and women. Cyrus Smith, president; James Bain and D. Thompson, vice presidents; C. H. Gatch, secretary ; Giles Copeland, treasurer; Robert Coulter, reader. This organization existed for some time, and Schuyler Colfax and other distinguished men of the times lectured to large audiences. During the excitement over the war the work died out and the club ceased to exist.

HISTORY OF HARDIN COUNTY
The Female Temperance Society was organized September 13, 1853. It was something on the order of the present W. C. T. U. and lasted for several years. The first officers were as follows: Mrs. I. McConnell, president ; Mrs. David Goodin, treasurer; Mrs. Hugh Letson, vice presi- dent; Mrs. A. P. Berry, recording secretary, and Mrs. A. M. Carlin, corresponding secretary.
In 1866 a Y. M. C. A. was organized in Kenton and existed several years. R. MeCurdy was president.
Hardin County Pioneer Association was organized June 4, 1868, at Kenton for the purpose of keeping alive the history of the pioneer times in the county, and also as a sort of social gathering for the old settlers. At first no member was admitted who came to the county after Decem- ber 31, 1838, but afterward that rule was modified to take in later pioneers. The meeting time was set for the 4th of July of each year, but that has not been strictly followed since the society was organized. Judge Anthony Banning, Dr. A. W. Munson, Judge Hugh Letson, Rev. B. F. Waddle, Thomas Shanks, D. H. Edgar, Miles Van Fleet, Abraham Dille, Dr. U. P. Leighton, Luther Furney, William Kelly, Rev. Thomas II. Wilson and many others were prime movers in starting the society, and nearly all the old residents of the county joined. There was a vice president from each township, in addition to the regular officers, and for many years rousing meetings were held annually. At present few of the charter members remain, but the meetings are still interesting and well attended.
At the first annual meeting of the Pioneer Association which was held at the courthouse July 4, 1868, a song composed by Dr. U. P. Leighton was sung for the first time, and this is still the pioneer ode. The chorus
"Come Pioneers of thirty years Around our standard throng; Friendship renew, old times review, And join in social song"
has been amended by many of the members who now sing it to "Pioneers of sixty years," and some even longer. The first celebration combined patriotism with good cheer, for the national airs were played and the Declaration of Independence read by Dr. A. W. Munson. Addresses were made by prominent pioneers, and the large and interested audience enjoyed the tales of life in the woods. The elderly men and women told such thrilling stories of adventures with wild animals, Indians and trappers, that the young people present regretted that the county was now so thickly settled that exciting things seldom happened.
The first death to occur in the Association was that of Mrs. Abigail
315
HISTORY OF HARDIN COUNTY
Buckminster, who passed away July 14, 1868, but as the years rolled on so many of the early settlers died that the members voted to regard every person in Hardin county eligible for membership who had lived here thirty years continuously at the time of making application. A number of the older residents objected to this plan, but the amendment to the constitution was adopted, thus keeping the organization alive until the present day. Of the charter members few survive but the venerable W. A. Kelly, Fayette Schoonover and wife, Mrs. Sarah Dudley Cary, Hosea Johnson, W. T. Cessna, B. F. Cessna, Mrs. Lemuel Wilmoth, John Shanks and a few other pioneers reside in the county, and they still remember the trials endured by the men and women who helped bring the county to its present high standing in the state.
During the summer of 1889 the members of the Pioneer Association brought logs to the county fair grounds, each member contributing a log. and a pioneer cabin with old fashioned chimney, large fire place and rough floor was erected. The old time cabin raising was carried out in fine style and on September 11 Pioneer Day was celebrated, the Fair Board admitting free every member of the Association to the grounds. The pioneers also brought in old time spinning wheels, Dutch ovens, cooking utensils, candle sticks, books, guns, old china, furniture, bullet molds, andirons, kettles and various other relics of the log cabin days and the little cabin was completely furnished. It was an attractive spot all that day for thousands of people eagerly looked over the inter- esting articles, and warmly commended the Association for thus keeping alive the history of pioneer days. The cabin was dedicated with appropriate exercises and the famous General Gibson of Tiffin made the speech of the day. Other orators made short addresses among whom were Colonel W. T. Cessna and Dr. A. W. Munson, and there was much singing of an old fashioned order. The Old Fogy Singers of Bellefon- taine were present and attracted much attention, delighting the audience with all the favorites of pioneers days.
Much to the regret of all concerned the little cabin at the fair grounds was not properly kept up, and all the relics of olden times had to be gathered up and taken to the Armory in Kenton. At present there are about one hundred members and the annual meetings are still kept up. However, they are held in June instead of July and often are regular old fashioned picnics at some resort or grove. The members are thinking of establishing a room for the purpose of collecting old furniture and pioneer relics, to be preserved for future generations, but as yet nothing has been done. However the articles that attracted so much attention in the Fair Grounds Cabin are all saved, and may at some future date be placed on exhibition.
Many of the pioneers sleep in unmarked graves and in not a few instances all traces of the graves have been obliterated, but it is to be hoped the memory of their brave lives will never fade away. It is to be
316

hoped that the Pioneer Association will live and inerease in interest, so that future generations may learn something about the heroie founders of Ilardin county-the men and women who literally made the wilder- ness blossom as the rose. Of course all the pioneers are not recorded in the books of the society, but a great many of them are thus remembered. Of the unknown ones who lie buried in the fields their hands made ready

for future generations, and of whom nothing is known it may well be said :
"They lived and were useful, that we know and naught beside,
No record of their names is left to show how soon they died.
They did their work and then they passed away, an unknown band They took their places with the greater throng in the higher land."
The first formation of a Post of the Grand Army of the Republie in Kenton, was made by Colonel Bonner of Toledo, Ohio, on July 5, 1881, at which time the following officers were duly eleeted and installed : Post commander, L. M. Strong; senior vice commander, J. H. Camper ; junior vice commander, Silas Protzman ; quartermaster, John R. Selders; adjutant, ITerman Sagebiel ; surgeon, Solomon Kraner; chaplain, W. W. Stevenson ; officer of the day, J. N. Weleh ; officer of the guard, Charles Collier ; quartermaster sergeant, Isaae M. Collins and sergeant major,

D. J. Mentzer. After holding a very few meetings, from non-attend- ance or some other cause, the post surrendered its charter.
In April, 1883, the following comrades made application for a charter for the reorganization of Cantwell Post No. 97. Department of Ohio, Grand Army of the Republic, and the following are the charter members: David Thomson, David J. Mentzer, William W. Stevenson, Godfrey Sutermeister, Herman Sagebiel, Abraham R. Scott, Solomon Kraner, John R. Selders, John H. Camper, Charles Canaan, Thomas Patridge, Christopher Ushman, David E. Goodin, Luther M. Strong. John S. Scott, Silas Protzman, Isaac M. Collins, George W. Darst. Charles Collier, Jasper N. Welch, Wesley A. Strong, Charles Farmer, William M. Ellis, John V. B. Maines, Mathias Zimmerman and George Baker. On April 23, 1883, pursuant to a call issued by Comrade M. V. Payne, District Inspector Department of Ohio, Grand Army of the Republic, the comrades met for the purpose of reorganizing the post, at which meeting the following officers were elected by the members and duly installed by Comrade M. V. Payne, District Inspector: Post com- mander, Charles Canaan ; senior vice commander, John S. Scott; junior vice commander, David J. Mentzer; adjutant, Lewis H. Wells; surgeon, Silas Protzman ; quartermaster, William M. Ellis; chaplain, William W. Stevenson ; officer of the day, Isaac M. Collins, and officer of the guard, John V. B. Maines. The district inspector then surrendered the chair to Charles Canaan as commander, who proceeded with the business of the evening.
The objects to be accomplished by this organization are as follows:
(1) To preserve and strengthen those kind and fraternal feelings which bind together the soldiers, sailors and marines who united to suppress the late rebellion.
(2) To maintain true allegiance to the United States of America based upon a paramount respect for and fidelity to the national constitu- tion and laws; to discountenance whatever tends to weaken loyalty, in- cite to insurrection, treason or rebellion, or in any manner impairs the efficiency and permanency of our free institutions; and to encourage the spread of universal liberty, equal rights and justice to all men.
Soldiers and sailors of the United States army, navy or marine corps who served in the late rebellion, and then having been honorably discharged therefrom after such service, shall be eligible to membership in the Grand Army of the Republic. And no person shall be eligible to membership who has at any time borne arms against the United States.
On August 23, 1883, Charles Canaan resigned as commander and September 13, 1883, John S. Scott was duly elected and installed to serve as commander for the balance of the year. Since January, 1884, the following officers have served in the years named :
