Ohio, with Cuyahoga, Lorain, Medina and Portage. The people of the neighboring counties were much discomfited by their de- feat, and for a long time, looked upon the inhabitants of Akron as robbers and despoil- ers. The news of the passage of the bill through both houses reached Akron on the evening of March 2, 1840, and an impromptu celebration was held, lasting nearly all the night. On the 4th a formal celebration was had, consisting of a parade of all the military companies and bands in the county; a ban- (mnet in the open air in the grove on the "Gore," about where the present Court House stands; speeches by prominent citizens of the county ; and, in the evening, a big dinner and ball in the "Ohio Exchange," an hotel which stood on the southwest corner of Main and Market streets. According to the newspapers of the time, the affair was a great success and the new county was started on its successful career under the happiest auspices.

The first officers elected for the new county offices were temporary ones. They were to hold office only from the time of the spring election in April until the regular state and county election, which, at that period of the State's history, was held in October. Thus, on the first Monday in April, there were chosen : For county treasurer, William ()'Brien, of Hudson; auditor, Birdsey Booth, of Cuyahoga Falls; recorder, Alexander John- ston, of Green; sheriff, Thomas Wilson, of Northfield; county attorney, Geo. Kirkum, of Akron ; coroner, Elisha Hinsdale, of Norton ; county commissioners, Augustus Foot, of Twinsburg; John Hoy, of Franklin, and Jonathan Starr, of Copley; appraisers, Fred A. Sprague, of Richfield: Milo Stone, of Tall- madge, and Thomas Jones, of Franklin. No probate judge was elected, as the laws of the State did not provide for such courts at that time. Temporary quarters for the county officers were secured in the Stone Block on the east side of Howard Street, near Market, the third floor being used as a court-room with the jail in one corner.

AND REPRESENTATIVE CITIZENS

COUNTY SEAT SELECTED.

In May the Board of Commissioners for lo- cating the county seat appeared upon the scene and called a public meeting to hear arguments in favor of the different sites pro- posed. Only three were seriously considered -Akron, Cuyahoga Falls and Summit City, the new town just laid out by Dr. Eliakin Crosby as the western terminus of his "Chuck- ery Race." The advocates of each of these sites had promised that the new court-house would be erected free of cost to the tax- payers of the county if their particular site should be selected. The commissioners de- cided unanimously in favor of Akron and set off land on the "Gore," which had been do- nated to the county through the generosity of General Simon Perkins, of Warren, as the place at which to build the new court-house.

As this site was just midway between North Akron, or Cascade, as it was sometimes called, and South Akron, the older village, both places joined in another celebration. A com- mittee of sixteen citizens was appointed for the purpose of raising money by subscription ; $17,500.00 was raised. The county commis- sioners then appointed Dr. J. D. Commins, Richard Horne and Col. Simon Perkins, Jr., as a building commission to collect the sub- scriptions, make all contracts and have full charge of the work of erecting the new building. They were the first "Court-House Commission." The second was appointed in 1905. They let the contract to Ithiel Mills, of Akron, and by January, 1841, he had com- pleted the foundations.

COUNTY SEAT CONTEST.

In the meantime trouble was brewing and Akron was in a fair way of losing her ad- vantage as the county seat of Summit. It happened in this way: The orator who pre- sented the claims of Cuyahoga Falls, at the meeting called by the commissioners, was Elisha N. Sill. of that village. His defeat rankled and he was waiting and watching for a chance to retrieve it. He was a man of much force of character and occupied an in-

fluential place among the Whig party of the county. Upon the expiration of the term of Senator Perkins, Mr. Sill secured the Whig nomination, as his successor, and was elected. Among his first acts as a legislator, was the introduction of a bill to re-locate the county seat of Summit County. Mr. Sill's influence with his party was sufficient to overcome the opposition in both houses and it became a law. When this news reached Akron there no celebration. Her citizens were almost ill despair.

The new legislative commission consisted of Jacob Hoagland, of Highland; William Kendall, of Scioto, and Valentine Winters, of Montgomery. In May, 1841, they came to Akron, looked over the competing sites and conducted an exciting meeting in the old stone church on North High Street. which lasted all day. Senator Sill spoke for Cuya- hoga Falls and Hon. Rufus P. Spalding for Akron. Interested citizens of these two places filled the church to the doors. The excite- ment was intense. The next morning the commissioners astounded the whole commu- nity by announcing that a majority of them were in favor of Summit City. the paper- town on what is now North Hill. It was evi- dently a compromise decision. Mr. Kendall made a minority report in favor of Akron. The particular site staked out by the com- missioners was about half way up North Hill. nearly where the Bryan School now stands. The crowd which accompanied them expressed such disapproval that the majority commis- sioners became much nettled, pulled up the stakes and drove on to Cuyahoga Falls, where they located the new court-house on the south side of Broad Street. between Front and Sec- ond Streets.

The county officials divided on this ques- tion. Some moved their offices to Cuyahoga Falls; others retained theirs at Akron. The building commissioners stopped work on the new court-house at Akron. Cuyahoga Falls made no move to build one there. All felt it would be necessary to await the next session of the legislature for decisive action by that body.

IHISTORY OF SUMMIT COUNTY

The Whig party held its convention at Cuyahoga Falls that year and nominated for representatives Amos Seward, of Tallmadge, and Harvey Whedon, of Hudson, both favor- able to Cuyahoga Falls as the proper site for the county seat. A Peoples Convention was called to meet at Akron and a bi-partisan ticket was nominated. Hon. Rufus P. Spald- ing, a Democrat, and Colonel Simon Perkins, a Whig, were the nominees for representa- tives. In the election which ensued, this ticket was triumphantly elected. The Whig ticket was simply snowed under. The vote for the Akron ticket was nearly three to one.

When the legislature assembled, the new Representatives began the work for which they had been sent there. Feeling confident because of the result of the last election, which had, in reality, been an issue simply between Akron and Cuyahoga Falls, they agreed to leave the matter of locating the county seat to a vote of the citizens of Summit County, and prepared and introduced a bill for the purpose. Senator Sill fought it vigorously in the Senate, but it passed both houses and was signed March 2, 1842.

On the first Monday in April the election to choose the county seat was held. A poll of the votes showed that Akron had received 2,978; Cuyahoga Falls, 1,384; Summit City, 101, and other places, 24. Thus Akron's plurality and majority were each more than the total vote cast for Cuyahoga Falls. It was felt all over the county that this decisive victory settled the question for all time to come, and so it proved.

The court-house was finished and accepted by the county commissioners December 6, 1843. The minutes of this meeting show that "having examined the court-house, the board proposed as an offset to the general bad char- acter of the work, which the building trustees

fully admitted, to accept it, if the windows were made to work, * * * the doors better hung, *

* * and the windows screened, etc." In spite of this sweeping condemna- tion, the building stood sixty-four years, or until this year of grace, 1907, in which it is proposed to demolish it, because of the erec- tion of the fine new court-house just west of it. In 1867 wings were added on the north and south sides.

ADAMS' RECEPTION.

On the morning of Nov. 2, 1843, it was learned that ex-President John Quincy Adams, who was on his way to lay a corner stone for a public building at Cincinnati, was coming up the canal from Cleveland and would stop over in Akron while his packet was being "locked" through the local 21 locks. Bells were rung, whistles blown, and almost the entire population were notified in a short time that the distinguished visitor would make an address in the court-room. Although it was not yet nine o'clock in the- morning, the court-house was crowded and Mr. Adams received a most enthusiastic wel- come. This was the first meeting held in the old (then new) court-house.

TERRITORIAL CHANGES.

The only changes which have been made in the territory of Summit County, were to establish townships co-extensive with the mu- nicipalities of Akron, Cuyahoga Falls and Middlebury, for purposes of government. Thus in 1851 Cuyahoga Falls Township was created ; in 1857, the township of Middlebury, and, in 1888, the township of Akron.

SUMMIT COUNTY'S HONORED SONS OF THE PAST.

Perhaps all will agree that the one Summit County citizen whose fame has spread the farthest was John Brown, the hero of Har- per's Ferry and the Kansas struggle. He was not a native of the county, having been born in Connecticut, but, at the age of four years, his father brought him, with the rest of his family, to Hudson. There his early days were spent; there he was educated, and there it was he married the wife of his youth. He spent twenty-one years in Hudson, two in Richfield and two in Akron. Thereafter,

AND REPRESENTATIVE CITIZENS

Massachusetts, New York and the Nation claimed him. Hudson can justly claim that it was his rearing in the atmosphere of free- dom and sentiment of anti-bondage, which has always prevailed there, that was the in- spiration of his later life, and furnished the animus of the acts that brought his fame.

The Summit County man, who has risen highest in the official public life of the nation and who has brought to his county its great- est distinction in this respect, is our own hon- ored and beloved United States Senator, Charles Dick. He was born in Akron and has never lived anywhere else. He is proud to say that all he is, he owes to Summit County. When Senator Marcus A. Hanna died in 1904, the legislature of Ohio obeyed the wishes of the Republican party of the State when it made Charles Dick his successor. He served the unexpired part of Senator Hanna's term, and, in 1905, began the serv- ice of a full term. Summit County will, therefore, claim a United States Senator until 1911, at least. If he desires a re-election at that time, his splendid record in the public service should bring him the title to another term.

A high place in the Summit County Tem- ple of Fame belongs to Sidney Edgerton, a name that all the older residents, and many of the younger, will never hear mentioned, save with the deepest feelings of love and respect. Sidney Edgerton came to Akron in 1844 from New York State, where he was born. He was then about twenty-five years of age. He taught school and studied law until 1852, when he was elected prosecuting attorney of the county. In 1858. and again in 1860, he was elected to Congress. In 1863, President Lincoln appointed him Chief Jus- tice of Idaho, from which he resigned to accept the appointment of Governor of the Territory of Montana. He resigned in 1866 and returned to Akron, where he practiced law until his death.

Russell A. Alger can hardly be credited to Summit County, as he was born in the ad- joining county of Medina, and spent the active years of his career as a citizen of

Michigan. Most of his education, however, was secured in Richfield, where he attended the old Richfield Academy. He also taught school there two winters while pursuing his course. He spent the years 1857 and 1858 in Akron, studying law in the office of Wol- cott and Upson. In 1860 he left Cleveland, where he had been practicing law and took up his residence in Michigan. He rose to the rank of major-general in the Civil War; was made Governor of Michigan in 1884; became secretary of war in President McKin- ley's Cabinet in 1897; and in 1901 was elected United States Senator, which position he held at the time of his death in 1907.

Other temporary residents of Akron for short periods who afterwards reached high places in the national life were :

David K. Cartter, who practiced law in Akron from 1836 to 1845, coming here from New York State; in 1848, and again in 1850, he was elected to Congress; in 1861 appointed minister to Bolivia; and in 1863 appointed chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia.

Wilbur F. Sanders, came to Akron in 1854, from New York State; taught school and studied law here until 1861, when he entered the Union Army ; in 1863 he became a citizen of Montana, and when that territory was ad- mitted to the Union in 1890, he was elected United States Senator.

Samuel B. Axtell, who for some years had his residence in Richfield, was elected to Congress from a California district; in 1875 appointed governor of Utah; in the same year, governor of New Mexico; in 1882 chief justice of New Mexico.

William T. Coggeshall, lived in AAkron from 1842 to 1847, was appointed minister to Ecuador in 1865, where he died in 1867.

Christopher P. Wolcott was born in Con- necticut December 17, 1820; graduated at Jefferson College in 1840; was admitted to the bar and come to Akron in 1846. He was the senior member of the distinguished firm of Wolcott and Upson. In 1856, he was ap- pointed attorney-general of the State of Ohio to fill a vacancy. and was afterward elected

twice to that office. In 1862, President Lin- coln appointed him assistant secretary of war. He served under his brother-in-law, Edwin M. Stanton, until within two months of his death. He died at his home in Akron, April 4, 1863.

Rufus P. Spalding, a native of Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, came to Akron in 1840, and in 1841 was elected Speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives; in 1848 ap- pointed justice of the Supreme Court of Ohio. At the expiration of his term he moved to Cleveland, and was afterward elected to Con- gress for three terms.

One of the most distinguished names in Summit County history is that of William H. Upson. He was born in Franklin County, Ohio, in 1823, but came to Tallmadge witlı his parents in 1832. He has been a resi- dent of the county, continuously, since that time. He came to Akron in 1846, a few months after his admission to the bar. He was prosecuting attorney 1848-1850; Ohio State Senator, 1853-1855; elected to Congress in 1869, and again in 1871; delegate to Na- tional Republican Convention in 1864, and voted to renominate Abraham Lincoln; dele- gate-at-large from Ohio to the National Re- publican Convention in 1876; in 1883 was appointed justice of the Supreme Court of Ohio; in 1884, elected judge of the Circuit Court, and re-elected in 1886 and 1890. In 1896 he retired from active practice and re- sumed his domestic quiet in Akron, where he still lives.

In addition to those already mentioned, Summit County has had the following Rep- resentatives in Congress: George Bliss, 1852- 1854; David R. Paige, 1882-1884; George W. Crouse, 1886-1888, and Charles Dick, 1898-1904. She has had Presidential electors as follows: Stephen H. Pitkin, 1868; John R. Buchtel, 1872; Nathaniel W. Goodhue, 1880, and Ulysses L. Marvin, 1884.

This senatorial district has often called upon Summit County to represent the dis- trict in the Ohio Senate, as witness these names of Senators: Simon Perkins, 1838- 1840; Elisha N. Sill, 1840-1842; William

Wetmore, Jr., 1844-1846; Lucian Swift, 1848- 1850; William H. Upson, 1853-1855; George P. Ashmun, 1857-1859; Lucuis V. Bierce, 1861-1863; Newell D. Tibbals, 1865-1867; Henry Mckinney, 1869-1871; N.
