The present city officials are : Charles Jun- kins, mayor; Thomas Thompson, marshal; Frank Rice, clerk; George C. McKee, solicitor; and James Mellugh, treasurer. The Council is composed of six members, namely : C. Win- terhalter, Grove Stephenson, E. J. Stephens, Joseph Meister, Michael Miller and Jack Baugh.


THE POSTMASTERS.


Peter Yost says he thinks Moses Rhodes was the first postmaster, who was appointed during the administration of James Madison in 1815.


The present postmaster is Dr. A. J. Hein- lein-some of his predecessors were: John Anderson, about 1850; David Howells, from 1856 to 1861; Hugh McNeely, from 1861 to 1865; and then in succession there followed John Crosby, Dr. J. M. Todd, Dr. John Cook, Johnson Brown and R. B. Mitchell.


THE AETNAVILLE BRIDGE.


The Aetnaville steel bridge, which connects Aetnaville and Wheeling, was constructed in 1890 and 1891 at a cost of $150,000. Tlie bridge was built primarily, to afford the elec- tric cars speedier communication between Wheeling and Martin's Ferry. It has like- wise proved very serviceable as a foot and wagon bridge across the "back river." The bridge is operated by a Wheeling company.


THE MANUFACTURING. INTERESTS


Of Bridgeport did not develop until 1872 and 1873. Previous to that, there were the Smith & Son flour mill, the Diamond Mills, the Bel- mont foundry, Baggs & Sons' sawmills, em- ploying an aggregate of probably 200 hands.


Then the La Belle Glass Works was incor- porated, with E. P. Rhodes, president, W. 11. Brinton, secretary, and A. J. Baggs, manager. The capital stock was $100,000, and the num- ber of hands employed was 150. The annual product amounted to $135,000.


The year following the Aetna Iron & Nail


208


CENTENNIAL HISTORY OF BELMONT COUNTY,


Works were established with a capital of $200,000; \V. W. Holloway was president, with W. H. Tallman, secretary, and Louis Jones, manager. The directors were: W. W. Holloway, Louis Jones, A. G. Robinson, L. Spence, A. J. Baggs, T. R. Moffat, W. B. Simpson. The number of hands employed at the beginning was between 200 and 250 and the annual product was 10,000 tons of T-rails and bar iron.


The mill has been so successfully managed that today it is the greatest steel plant in the Upper Ohio Valley. The mill is now oper- ated by the United States Steel Corporation, with E. G. McMurtric, of New York, as president, and J. A. Topping of Bridgeport, vice-president. H. L. Cooke is division super- intendent of the district, and has personal supervision of the mill. When in full opera- tion, the mill employs 2,500 men, and pro- duces 88,400 net tons annually of black sheets and painted and formed roofing. The pay roll averages $75,000 per month.


The Crystal Glass Company of Bridgeport was organized the 31st day of August, 1888. The first board of directors consisted of J. N. Vance, W. T. Burt, Thomas Mears, Ed. Muhleman and N. Kuhn. The officers were: J. N. Vance, president, and Ed. Muhleman, secretary. The present officers are: A. W. Herron, vice-president; G. Roy Boyd, secre- tary; and W. Pomeroy, treasurer. The direc- tors are: F. L. Stephenson, L. B. Martin, L. W. Herron, A. L. Strasburger and Addison Thompson. The stock outstanding is $146,- 880; the approximate output is about $450,000 per annum; and the number of employees is 600.


In addition to the above there is the Scott Lumber Company, which is probably the larg- est factory of the kind in the county. It oper- ates a branch house in Martin's Ferry and employs nearly 100 hands and keeps from 15 to 18 teams constantly employed.


The leading flour mill today is the Aetna, the successor of the Diamond mill, and is ex- tensively operated with all the modern appli- ances for the manufacture of flour.


THE BANKS.


The First National Bank was among the first national banks organized in Ohio. It was the successor of the Belmont branch of the State Bank of Ohio, which was organized in 1847, with a capital stock of $100,000. The directors of this branch of the old State Bank were Jacob Holloway, Ezekiel Harris, Henry Kennon, John Warfield, John Kinsey, James Y. Patterson, John K. Newland, James A. Gray and High McNeely, with John C. Tall- man as cashier.


Under the efficient management of these officials, the bank withstood the crash of 1857. Its affairs were wound up by limitation in 1863, and the First National Bank took its place, with a capital of $200,000.


The original directors of the First National Bank were Crispan Oglebay, W. W. Holloway, Finley B. McGrew, Hiram W. Smith and Ebenezer P. Rhodes. W. W. Holloway was chosen president and J. C. Tallman was re- tained as cashier, a position he held during his life, with W. H. Tallman, assistant cashier. The capital stock was subsequently reduced to $100,000. The present officers are: William Alexander, president; L. Spence, vice-presi- dent; and F. W. Henderson, cashier. The board of directors, January, 1902, was as fol- lows: L. Spence, J. J. Holloway, Samuel A. Junkins, William McComas, J. C. Heinlein, N. Kuhn, N. K. Kennon, William Mann and William Alexander. The deposits of the bank, on November 25, 1902, when a report was made to the Comptroller of the Currency, amounted to $506,681.31.


Since the above was written it has been announced that the charter of the First National Bank will expire early in 1903, and the bank will be re-organized under the name of the Bridgeport National Bank without any interruption in business. The officers of the new organization will be: J. J. Holloway, president ; J. C. Heinlein, vice-president ; and F. W. Henderson, cashier.


The Dollar Savings Bank of Bridgeport was organized February 14, 1891, with a capi-

tal of $50,000. The first officers were: George C. McKee, president; Thomas T. Frasier, vice-president ; R. R. Barnett, cashier; and Fred Fox, teller. The directors were George C. McKee, John T. Scott, Thomas T. Frasier, Eli Bailey, John Stewart, William Koehnlein, C. W. Apenzeller, Eli Gilmore and R. B. Mitchell.


The present officers are: John T. Scott, president ; Thomas T. Frasier, vice-president ; Henry Fox, cashier ; and J. O. Perry, teller.


DR. AFFLECK AND DR. TODD.


Among the physicians of Bridgeport of a past generation were two noted men, viz .- Dr. J. G. Affleck and Dr. J. M. Todd.


Dr. J. G. Affleck was a genial, generous hearted Scotchman of great literary ability. He was said to possess the finest library in the county, and knew more of its contents than any other man in the State. The Doctor at dif- ferent times published four newspapers and while pursuing his medical practice was a reg- ular contributor to many papers and magazines. His literary work continued until his death.


Dr. J. M. Todd was a man of strong con- victions and pronounced views upon all ques- tions of public policy. While engaged in the practice of his profession, he took an active part in municipal affairs and, while foremost in advocating every policy looking to the ad- vancement of the town or county, he was an intense partisan and uncompromising in his hostility to the opposition. Like his colleague Dr. Affleck, Dr. Todd was a man of superior literary ability, and was a constant contributor to the local and medical press upon all historic, economic, or professional questions.


THE CHURCHES.


The First Methodist Episcopal Church .- Before there was an organized Methodist Epis- ¿ copal Church in Bridgeport, different ministers visited and preached in the place, among whom were William Lamden, Wesley Browning, S. R. Brockunier, Thomas Drummond, C. D.


Battelle and the celebrated Lorenzo Dow. It is probable that the first Methodist sermon preached in Bridgeport was delivered in an old log tavern located at the north end of the town and kept by a Mr. Thompson. The home of Elijah Woods was opened also to these mien of God as a preaching place. The first men to unite with the Methodist Episcopal Church in these early days were Noah Scott and John Bailey. The first Methodist class was organ- ized in Bridgeport in 1833 with Noah Scott as leader, appointed by Rev. Mr. Kent. This class met at the home of Squire Bloomfield and consisted of seven members: Squire Bloom- field and wife, John Graham, Thomas Hukill, and wife, and James and Jane Putnam. The next preaching place was in a small brick build- ing near the National Pike, built by Joseph MeConnaughy.


In 1835 Bridgeport was taken up as a regu- lar appointment by Reys. David Merriman and J. C. Taylor, pastors on the St. Clairsville circuit. In 1842 it was made a part of the Martinsville circuit and remained a part of that circuit until 1853 when Martin's Ferry was made a station and Bridgeport became the head of Bridgeport circuit with Scotts and West Wheeling. It was made a station in 1870.


In 1839 a lot was purchased from Joseph Kirkwood to which a warehouse was moved and fitted up for a place of worship. The trus- tees of this first church property were: Joseph McConnaughy, Joseph Wilson, David True- man, Thomas J. Hukill, Walker Hunter, Noah Scott and llenry McGregor.


In 1849 the brick building now owned by the colored Baptists of Bridgeport was erected and continued the place of worship until 1892. At that time a beautiful site on the corner of Ben- nett and DeKalb streets was secured, upon which a church edifice and parsonage were erected. This property, now valued at $25,- 000, is clear of debt.


The following ministers have been appointed pastors of Bridgeport since it was taken up as a regular preaching place : I. N. McAbee, John WV. Minor, P. M. McGowen, S. Cheuey, James Drummond, William Cox. Thomas MeCleary,

WN'est Bridgeport, Scott's and West Wheel- ing Methodist Episcopal Churches .- The West Bridgeport charge is presided over by Rev. John A. Wright.


It consists of three appointments : namely, West Bridgeport, Scotts and West Wheeling. The West Bridgeport Church was built in 1872 under the ministry of Rev. William Peregoy. It is a brick structure worth about $2,500. It was dedicated November 10, 1872, by Rev. WV. B. Watkins. There is also a parsonage at West Bridgeport, the rental value of which is $900. The pastor's salary is $750. The fol- lowing preachers have served the charge since its formation : namely, David E. Howell, Wil- liam Peregoy, J. Q. A. Miller, W. P. Rob- ins, H. Appleton, George B., Smith, T. J. Baker, N. C. Worthington, J. S. Secrist, T. J. Curts, W. Meek, D. A. Pierce, A. J. Lane, F. I. Sweeney, W. D. Stephens, R. S. Strahl, D. F. Holtz and John-A. Wright. The church is lighted by electricity and is heated by a fur- nace. There is no debt of any kind on the church.


Scott's Church is also a brick edifice, and is located in the village of Lansing three miles west of Bridgeport on the National Road. It


was built in 1834. There was a preaching place here for many years before the church was built. J. B. Finley preached here when it was called Scott's appointment.


The West Wheeling Church is also brick, and was built in 1845 and rebuilt in 1879, and remodeled in 1888. In this year gas was put into the church both for illuminating and heat- ing purposes.


The official members of the West Bridgeport Church are as follows: Stewards,-W. S. Kid- ney, Ralph Simpson, Mrs. J. D. Wilson and Mary J. Conaway; trustees,-John D. Wil- son, Robert Simpson, John Porter and James McConnaughy; class leaders,-Otho Kid- ney, Ralph Simpson and Edward Wilson; Sun- day-school superintendent, Otho Kidney. The official members of the Scott's, or Lansing Church are as follows: Class leader, John B. Pyle; Sunday-school superintendent, Christo- pher Giffin; stewards,-John B. Pyle, J. C. Bell and L. Liston; trustees,-same as above with the addition of Ebenezer Worley and E. T. Kinsey. The officials of the West Wheel- ing Church are as follows: Class leader, Rev. A. E. Fortney ; Sunday-school superintendent, Joseph A. Pyle; stewards,-Rev. A. E. Fort- ney, J. S. Pyle and Emma Dixon; trustees,- A. E. Fortney, W. F. Fortney, J. S. Pyle, Em- ma Dixon and Harry Lyle.


The First Presbyterian Church of Bridge- port was organized August 9, 1850, by Rev. Benjamin Mitchell and Rev. James Alexander. The following persons united with the church upon certificates from other churches: Henry Wells, Mrs. Margaret Wells, Miss Eliza McConahey, Mrs. Margaret Kirkwood, Vin- cent Mitchell, Mrs. Barbara Campbell, Mrs. Barbara Thompson, Mrs. Sarah Large, Miss Adeline Large, Stephen Laughran, Mrs. Jane Langhran, Robert Theaker, Mrs. Mary S.

AND REPRESENTATIVE CITIZENS.


Rev. James Alexander was pastor of the Martin's Ferry Church from which most of these members brought certificates. He con- tinued as pastor of the two churches for some time, and was succeeded by Rev. Samuel Boyd. He was succeedcd by Rev. G. W. Chalfant who remained pastor for 17 years. He in turn was succeeded by Rev. C. C. Hayes as pastor for six years. Rev. J. A. Donahey is the present pastor, and William Alexander, John I. Scott and Thomas J. Davis are the elders. The trus- tees are: George C. McKee, Thomas Frasier, Thomas Duncan, Fred Fox, A. J. Blackford and William Clark; treasurer, Charles Enlow.


St. Anthony's Catholic Church .- The Cath- olic congregation in the village of Bridgeport was first organized by Rev. Joseph Touhy in the year 1885, then pastor of St. Mary's Church in Martin's Ferry. At this time there could be found but about one dozen of Catho- lic families in Bridgeport. Nevertheless, though but few in number under the leadership of their wise pastor they soon acquired two lots on Whitly street in Kirkwood and soon erected there a modest little frame building where they inight gather for religious worship. Father Touhy held services here for these few faith- ful ones on one Sunday of each month. But after about two years from the time of its first organization, the membership had grown suf- ficiently large that they should have more fre- quent service and consequently an arrangement was agreed upon by Bishop Watterson of Co- lumbus, Ohio, Bishop Kain of Wheeling, West Virginia, and the superior of the Cappucian Fathers at St. Alphonsus' Church in Wheel- ing, by which these latter Fathers promised to send a priest from their church in Wheeling every Sunday to Bridgeport to give the people religious services. For two years Father Mar- tin, O. M. Cap., filled this office. Wlien scar- city of priests did no longer permit these Fathers to continue this work, Bishop Watter- son of Columbus assigned Father Joseph A. Weigand as pastor of Bridgeport, and he con- tinues there to this day,-since January 21, 1890. Under the direction of Father Martin a new site for a church had been purchased,


located on the National Road, now known as Main street.


In the same year in which Father Weigand was assigned as the first resident pastor of St. Anthony's Church, a new frame building was erected on the newly acquired church property, which was temporarily used for a church until two years later, when it was found expedient to build the large and beautiful brick edifice in which the congregation has now been wor- shiping since September, 1892. During this same month and year, the temporary church was converted into a school building and the Sisters of Charity from Nazareth, Kentucky, were introduced to teach the children attending the parochial school. Since that time the con- gregation has been steadily on the increase so that it numbers at present about 100 families with about an equal number of children atte id- ing the parochial school. Besides the 100 fam- ilies there belong to the congregation about 125 single men employed in the various pub- lic works; so that the congregation numl ers from 200 to 250 voting members. As to na- tionality, the membership consists of American born, of Irish, Germans, French, Italians, Ilun- garians, Polish, Slovak, Krainars, Bohemians, Croatians and Syrians, but nearly all natura- lized citizens of the United States.


The church property of the congregation consists of a handsome brick church, adjoining which is a commodious pastoral residence, a sufficiently commodious school building and a convent to accommodate the Sisters teaching the parochial school.


Connected with the church are the following organizations : The C. M. B. A., a beneficial and insurance society for the men; the St. Bar- bara Society, also for men, but especially for the miners, being likewise of a beneficial char- acter, and mostly composed of Slavonian speaking men; the Knights of St. George, an- other organization of similar nature and to a large, extent made up of Tyrolese Italians ; finally, the Moeller Club, intended principally for the younger men of the parish and desig ned to give them a place for mutual enjoyment and recreation while at the same time supplying

them with good literature and other means of encouragement to cultivate a taste for what is noble and dignified, and thus to keep them away from more dangerous places. Each of these organizations numbers from 25 to 75 members.


The church at Bridgeport is also attended by all the Catholic families living north on the Cleveland, Lorain & Wheeling Railway as far as Holloway and west as far as the County In- firmary.


TIIE SCHOOLS.


District schools were maintained as early as 1835. A young Dr. Stone from the East and John Sterling were teachers previous to that time. Dr. McCoy, Moses Rhodes and Dr. J. G. Affleck were trustees.


Ebenezer Zane gave a lot on which a brick school house was erected. Uriah Halstead taught in this building until the outbreak of the Civil War, when he enlisted in the First Vir- ginia Cavalry and was killed in one of the bat- tles in West Virginia.


Dr. W. B. Watkins also taught here and was a very successful teacher, inspiring his schol- ars and constantly pointing them to higher at- tainments as well as instilling a desire among parents for better schools and accommodations for higher education. He afterward became an eloquent minister of the Methodist Episco- pal Church, having appointments in Pittsburg and other cities. He died in the midst of a very useful life, honored by all who knew him.


When Kirkwood was separate and apart from Bridgeport, a district school was hield there in the basement of the Methodist Episco- pal Church and other places. J. C. Tallman, Jolin Warfield and W. W. Holloway were then serving as directors. J. C. Tallman from the time he first came to Bridgeport was an intelli- gent and untiring worker for every educational interest. He did much for the advancement of higher education for the masses. Kirkwood was taken into the incorporated village of Bridgeport and immediately a school building was advocated. It was sucessfully carried out amid strong opposition. The primary object


in getting Kirkwood into the corporation was to secure a school building and better schools.


A site was selected in Kirkwood and imme- diate action taken for the erection of a com- modious school building. The school district was then working under what was known as the Akron law. W. W. Holloway, Jolin C. Tallman, W. W. Atkinson, E. P. Rhodes and J. G. Affleck were members of the School Board in 1866. The new building was com- pleted in 1867, and Captain Griffith of Colum- bus was chosen superintendent, with his wife, a trained and most efficient primary teacher, as assistant. Some differences in regard to teach- ing languages caused Captain Griffith to re- sign, much to the regret of the great majority of the patrons of the school, who recognized in him an excellent organizer and proficient superintendent.


Rev. A. B. Castle of the Methodist Episco- pal Church then took charge of the school for a time and was succeeded by John Taylor for two years.


D. P. Pratt followed him as superintendent for two years.


The Board of Education at this time con- sisted of Hon. Ross J. Alexander, Dr. John Cook, Dr. J. M. Todd, Burget McConnaughy, W. W. Holloway and William Alexander. T. E. Orr was employed as superintendent, and under his management the schools were brought up to a standard equaled by few in the county. With the building of the Aetna iron mills and a large increase in population, an ad- ditional building was needed in Aetnaville. Soon another was required in the west end of Bridgeport for primary grades. These new schools were well established by Superintend- ent Orr, when he gave notice to the Board that he would tender his resignation at the end of the school year to go into other business. James Duncan was employed in his place and remains superintendent at this writing.


, Brookside district was taken into Bridgeport special school district and a large and comino- dious school building erected there.


For the past 35 years Bridgeport has pro- vided ample buildings and every facility for the

education of her youth and continues to fur- nish every equipment for her schools and maintains and supports teachers of ability and aptness to teach.


The present Board of Education is: John T. Scott, president; Thomas Hill, treasurer ; William Koehnline, Elias McConneghy, Capt. E. A. Thomas and Thomas McGoff.


When the first school building was opened for use, the old school house was set apart by the Board for the education of the colored children of the township. The Bridgeport School Board saw that they received their full share of the public money ; they made appro- priations to keep that school open as long as the other school and employed good teachers.


When the law was passed giving the col- ored children a place with the white children in all schools, W. W. Holloway introduced a resolution to admit them to equal rights in our public schools, which was finally adopted. Bridgeport was the first place in the county to provide schools for the colored children and the first to admit them to the public schools after the passage of the law. Many colored children have since graduated with credit to themselves.


In the Bridgeport district today there are four schools with 21 rooms and an average daily attendance of 799. Twenty-four teach- ers are required for instruction in the various departments. The expenditures for 1901 amounted to $16,532.65.
