of Judge Timothy Doane, was born in Herkimer county, on the 11th day of January, 1796, and John Doane, Esq., of East Cleveland, the youngest of the family, was born on the 21st day of June, 1798. and both are present to-day.
The hardships endured by Timothy Doane prior to this time well fitted him for a pioneer settler of the Northwestern Territory, and on the 11th day of January, 1801, he started with his family for Cleveland. They were taken in a two- horse sleigh to Buffalo; his household goods were conveyed in a large sled, drawn by two yoke of oxen. 'One yoke of oxen and the sled were owned by the man whom he hired to assist him, and who returned home after he had landed them in Buffalo. The sleigh in which the family came was taken to pieces at Buffalo, and brought here on the boat, and was sup- posed to be the first one brought to this country.
On reaching Buffalo they found the lake open, the winter having been very mild. It being the general opinion in Buf- falo that the lake would be frozen over in February, Mr. Doane decided to leave his family at Buffalo and proceed to Cleveland with his horses, oxen and young cattle. Before leaving he made arrangements for his family to leave for Cleveland when the weather and condition of the lake would permit. There was no wagon road between Buffalo and Cleveland at that time, only an Indian trail. He took with him corn to feed his stock on the way, and clothing for him- self and son Timothy, Jr., who accompanied him. The eldest of the family, Seth, with Nathaniel, his uncle, had pre- ceded the family some two years. In crossing the streams, they placed their portmanteaus, containing their clothing, etc., on the horns of the cattle, to prevent them being wet. They swim, as it is known, with a high head. When the Jake would permit them they traveled on the beach, and when it would not, they would drive the stock on the bank, keeping the lake in sight as their guide. In crossing one stream which was very wide, and much swollen, Mr.

Doane had to swim his horse, and lead each animal into the water, which was so cold that they utterly refused to be driven into it. He crossed and recrossed the stream thirteen times. When across, they built a fire by means of an old tinder box and flint, by which they dried their clothing.
In March the rest of the family left Buffalo, with their goods and provisions, in an open boat, rowed by two Indians and two white men, pursuing their journey westerly, land- ing every night, pulling up the boat on the beach, pitching their tent on the bank, and building their camp fire, making their beds, and cooking their meals. About the time they reached Erie, then called Presque Isle, Mr. Doane and his brother met them. When off the month of Grand River, near what is now the town of Painesville, Judge Walworth and General Paine, early settlers of that country, who daily went to the bank of the lake to see if there were any immi- grants in distress, or in need of assistance, saw this boat, and that there was a storm approaching. They signalled them to come ashore, and about the time the signal was hoisted, the Indians discovered the approach of the storm, and they headed towards shore. The beach would not admit of landing until they were near the current of the river, which, coming in contact with the waves, swamped the boat. Mr. Doane car- ried his wife ashore; his brother, the white men and Indians carried the children. In a short time the tent washed ashore, which they immediately pitched for their accommodation: then came the beds and bedding, which had been closely rolled and corded; then their year's supply of flour, and all the light articles. In the morning, after the storm had sub- sided, the Indians went out into the lake, righted the boat, bailed it out, rolled out the barrels of pork and hams, and got them ashore and gathered up the cooking utensils, then reload- ed the boat, preparatory to resuming their journey. General Paine and Judge Walworth came down in the morning to see how they were situated. Mrs. Doane declined going in the

boat again, if horses could be obtained to come by land, which were tendered to them by the said gentlemen. Mrs. Doane and the younger children were placed in the care of his brother Nathaniel, to come by land. Nancy Doane, the eld- est child, and mother of General H. H. Dodge and George C. Dodge, the treasurer of this Association, said, "I will go with father," and she accompanied her father in the boat. Mr. Doane proceeded on his journey with the boat. When Mrs. Doane, and the younger members of the family, reached Chagrin River, they found it swollen, and full to the banks. Mrs. Doane asked her brother how they could cross, he said to her, there is a man on the other side of the river, named Abbott, who has a canoe; he will ferry us across. When they reached the east bank, and were discovered by Mr. Abbott, he pushed out his little frail bark into the angry stream; the current carried him down, and he landed on the other side a quarter of a mile below the place from which he had started, and then rowed up stream to Mr. Doane, and in- formed him that he could take but one at a time. Mrs. Doane's heart almost sank within her when she saw the rapid current and the frail canoe that was to take them over, saying that she might as well have risked her life, and that of the family, in the boat on the lake. She decided to venture first, and stepped into the little canoe, and seated herself in the bottom, taking hold of each side of the boat with her hands. Thus he continued to cross, and recross, until all were over. The horses were driven into the river and swam across; it taking more than half a day to convey them over. They were three days in going from Painesville to Cleveland. The boat in which Mr. Doane came reached Cleveland at the same time. They were three weeks in per- forming the journey from Buffalo to Cleveland. At that time there were only four log cabins in Cleveland, occupied by Major Carter, Mr. Spafford, Mr. David Clark, and Mr. Stiles. All west of Cuyahoga River was Indian Territory.

Mr. Timothy Doane settled in Euclid, now East Cleve- land. The Indians camped on Mr. Doane's premises, occu- pying during winter a portion east of the Cuyahoga River, as hunting ground. Mr. Doane never turned them away hun- gry; never refused them lodging, Indian fashion, around his kitchen fire; and they, on the other hand, never committed any depredations, but brought to Mr. Doane the first fish caught in the spring, and the first fruit and game in its sea- son. Mr. Doane regarded them as good neighbors.
My grandfather, Jedediah Crocker, emigrated from Lee, Massachusetts, some nine years later; his family came in a covered carriage, similar in style to a rockaway, and said to have been the first one in this part of the country. His house- hold goods were brought in a large covered wagon, drawn by two yoke of oxen and one horse. The wagon was covered with sole-leather, for use when here, and then a canvas over that. He purchased a large tract of land in the vicinity of what is now Collinwood, in this county, and also in the town- ship of Dover.
Among the articles brought into this country by Mr. Tim- othy Doane, was a box of glass, seven inches by nine in size, for the windows of his log house; but finding no one who could make the sash, they used oiled paper tacked on strips of board instead.
How changed the present mode of traveling, and what im- provements those now living who came here in 1801 have seen.
Respectfully,

ANNALS OF THE
CLEVELAND WHEN A VILLAGE.
[CONTRIBUTED BY ARA SPRAGUE.]
Mr. President :
Though not a member of your Society, I was, in my earlier days, a resident of Cleveland. I emigrated from St. Lawrence county, N. Y., in 1818, with a full determination to earn my own living, and make my home in Ohio. I stopped at Ash- tabula, but was not satisfied with that location, and strapped my knapsack on my back, and started for Cleveland. There were only two buildings (and those log) between Doan's cor- ners and the Public Square. I arrived in Cleveland, April 9, 1818, a few weeks after the first census had been taken. Its population was at that time but one hundred and seventy-two souls; all poor, and struggling hard to keep soul and body together. Small change was very scarce. They used what were called corporation shinplasters, as a substitute. The in- habitants were mostly New England people, and seemed to be living in a wilderness of scrub oaks. Only thirty or forty acres had been cleared. Most of the occupied town lots were fenced with rails. I put up at Howe's tavern, on the corner of Water and Superior streets. In one room of that building the first newspaper was printed. It was a small paper, some- thing larger than a sheet of foolscap, but it answered the purpose for the times and business of the village. At that time the clearing extended from the foot of Superior lane (so- called) east a few rods beyond the square. About where the Cushing block now stands were four or five small dwellings, inhabited by a different class from the rest. This locality was called "Podunk," and directly back of these buildings was the first burying ground. At that time there were two taverns, one kept by Mr. Howe, and the other by Mr. Wallace. Noble H. Merwin was building what was then called a large hotel, on the corner of South Water and Superior streets, which opened in 1819. There were three stores, Elisha Tay- lor's, Irad Kelley's, and Nathan Perry's, and also one small

grocery; two physicians, Drs. Long and McIntosh: two lawyers, Leonard Case and Alfred Kelley. Ashbel W. Walworth was justice of the peace. Ben Tuell was constable, and worked at the jewelry business. Mr. Walworth was a hatter; Dea- con Hamlin and Philo Scovill were carpenters; Moses White was a tailor; George Kirke was a shoemaker; Mathew Wil- liamson owned a tannery at the foot of Union lane, (so I did); two blacksmiths, David Burroughs and Abram Hickox; and Christopher Gunn kept the ferry. These comprised the professions and tradesmen at that time. As yet no minister of the gospel had arrived, nor had a church edifice been built. One small school-house and a brick academy, however, had been erected; in the latter, religious services were sometimes held on the Sabbath. In 1819 courts were held in the cham- ber of the log jail, as no court house was yet built. There were three warehouses on the river, N. H. Merwin's, Levi Johnson's, and Mr. Gaylord's; but very little commercial business was done, however, as there was no harbor at that time. All freight and passengers were landed on the beach by lighters and small boats. To get freight to the ware- houses, which were a quarter of a mile from the beach, we had to roll it over the sand ten or fifteen rods, and load it into canal boats. The price of freight from Buffalo to Cleve- land was $1.00 per barrel; the price of passage on vessels, $10.00, and on steamboats $20.00. In 1822, Mr. Merwin built a small schooner called the Minerva; it was the first one launched into the Cuyahoga River. It was sailed by Capt. Clifford Belden. I took passage on her to Buffalo, on her first trip; soon afterward, Mr. William Jones built a small schooner, called the Ann. In 1825, Mr. Whittlesey, a member of Congress, got an appropriation of $5,000 for the improve- ment of the harbor, and Mr. Ackley, as contractor, superin- tended the commencement of the pier, and sank twelve cribs during that year. In 1826, I superintended work on the harbor, under Capt. Morrice, and sank thirty-one cribs, and

drove piles across the old river-bed, and filled them in with brush and stone, which increased the water in the new channel. In the fall of 1826, I piloted the Henry Clay into the harbor, she being the first steamboat that entered the Cuyahoga River. In the spring of 1827, I helped set out the first shade trees on the north side of the park. In July of the same year, the opening of the Ohio canal, between Cleve- land and Akron, was celebrated; all rejoiced, and nobody dreamed of the terrible reaction that was soon to take place by sickness and death. In July and August an epidemic of ty- phoid fever prevailed, caused by malaria arising from the digging of the canal basin; there were hardly well ones enough to take care of the sick. There were seventeen deaths in less than two months. A terrible depression of spirits and stagna- tion of business ensued. The whole corporation could have been bought for what one lot would now cost on Superior street. For two months I gave up all business. I went from house to house to look after the sick and their uncared for business. For one month, every day, I carried Mrs. Wal- worth's little babe to Mrs. Hamlin's to nurse; Mrs. Walworth was not expected to live, and her husband was also sick. At the same time, Dr. Long, his wife and daughter Mary, were sick. At the Franklin, where I boarded, were two young men sick, by the name of Hall and Opdyke; they had the contract for excavating the canal basin, and owned a clothing store. Dr. McIntosh said nothing but the best of care would save them. I took care of them nights, and looked after their store, and others that were sick, through the day. For over a month I did not take off my clothes to go to bed. I took my sleep in a chair, or on the floor, ready for the first call. People were generally discouraged and anxious to leave. I will give the history of one, as I had it from both her and her hus- band. She said she left a good home and kind friends, much against her own wishes, to follow her husband to Cleveland. He landed in 1821, at the foot of Superior street, with his

small effects, wife and baby, with fifty cents in his pocket. She, worn out by the fatigue of a long tedious journey, and sea-sickness on the lake, sat down on a trunk to await the depositing of their goods in the warehouse. Tears were her only relief, and she said death would have been a welcome messenger. Her husband did not realize his expectations, and wanted to return. She said, no. She had been fool enough to follow him to Cleveland, and she did not propose to bear the chagrin of returning; he could go back, if he wished, but she should stay, live or die, telling him that "a rolling stone gathers no moss." They lived it through, and died worth their "thousands."
There are three other women of whom I wish to make special mention, that I found at Cleveland in 1818. They were all church members, and lived consistent Christian lives. In goodness they were the salt of the earth: Mrs. Leonard Case, Mrs. Dr. Long, and Mrs. Ashbel Walworth. Well may their children be proud of them, and cherish in memory their kind acts and benevolent deeds, many of which I might mention. I have no doubt there were others equally good among the 172 souls. Peter M. Weddell and I have killed deer, foxes and squirrels, wild geese, ducks and turkeys, not one mile from where the Weddell House now stands. I have seen the population of Cleveland increase from 172 souls, to its present estimation, about 172,000, and still its growth seems as rapid as at any former period. I have visited Cleve- land every year since my removal from there many years ago. I now reside at Mentor, Lake county, the far-famed home of President Garfield. I do not expect I shall ever visit Cleve- land again. I am now nearly eighty-eight, and very feeble, and must soon pass the portals through which my old associ- ates have passed-to a " home not made with hands."
