Buckles, Mary Buckles, Nicholas Pricket, nel and wife, John Bishop and wife, William Haugh, William Beesely and James Bishop and wife, Nathaniel Bees- ley and wife and John Pricket and wife. Between the years of 1840 and 1860 the Presbyterians maintained stated services here. It has been stated that the noted Mormans, Joe Smith and Rigdon, once oc- cupied the pulpit in this meeting-house.
James Buckles. This organization built a log church a few rods from the site of the Union Meeting House built at a later date. It was on the opposite side of the Old Columbus Road. They continued to worship here until 1840, when the prop- erty was sold to Caleb Tuttle. The so- ciety continued its organization until 1848, when it was abandoned.
Regular Baptist Church-In 1831 a number of Free-Will Baptists were joined by a number of citizens of various beliefs in the building of an undenominational church, that should be free to all chris- tians. This church was built on the old Columbus Road in the eastern part of the township on Section 6. The principal members of the society were James Don-
It is also said that the regular Baptists had undisputed services on the first Sab- bath and the Saturday before, the Pres- byterians the second Sabbath and the Saturday before, and the Free-Will Baptists the third Sabbath and the Satur- day before. Services are still continued in this organization. This church was re- paired last year (1907) at an expense of $650. Regular services are now held here, Rev. H. H. Tuttle being the pastor.

ALLENTOWN.
Allentown is the name given to a cluster of houses located on what is now called the Jackson Road, in Green Township, and about half a mile east of the Yellow Springs Pike; perhaps less than a mile from Hustead and about seven miles from Springfield.
In 1834 or '35 Aaron Allen erected a steam saw-mill at this place. It was kept in operation by himself and son until 1852, when it burned down. It never reached sufficient importance to have a school- house or church and is now in consider- able decay. It at no time exceeded fifteen families. The schoolhouse sometimes go- ing by that name is half a mile east.
BEATTY.
junction of the Fairfield Pike and the Yel- low Spring Pike. At its lower edge is lo- cated Emery Chapel and likewise a car barn and sub-station of the Springfield and Xenia Traction Company.
The Fairview Floral Greenhouse is its only industrial establishment. To the north there has recently been laid out some building lots in an addition called Fairmont.
Its school facilities are at what is termed Possum Schoolhouse. Tradition says that when the first schoolhouse built here was opened for school, an opossum presented himself as the first pupil, hence the name "Possum." It has a postof- fice and rural delivery, both, the postof- fice being kept there mainly for the bene- fit of the floral company.

former inhabitants and was adopted when the postoffice was established. This place was formerly called Chambersburg.
Jacob Kershner had a blacksmith shop in a very early day, a short distance north of where Emery Chapel is now located, and in the thirties a log schoolhouse stood almost where the chapel is located. Cliff Haley is the present postmaster. Will- iam R. Melvin conducts the blacksmith shop.
A short distance below this place, in the thirties, Adam Mayne conducted a tavern called "Traveller's Rest." It was freely patronized during stage-coach days.
BOWLUSVILLE.
Bowlusville is located about eight miles north of the City of Springfield on the Big Four and Erie Railway, about three miles west of the pike leading to Ur- bana. It was laid out in 1863, in a plat of lots numbering from one to seventeen, by Captain Samuel H. Bowlus, from whom it received its name.
Its former name was Lawrence Station, it being thus named after Judge Law- rence of Bellefontaine. It has one store and elevator conducted by John L. Bow- lus. The United Brethren denomination have a church, built in 1888, located in the east part of this village, Rev. A. H. Leh- man being the present pastor. John L. Bowlus is postmaster. Mr. Bowlus made several strenuous attempts to sell lots, but without any material result.
BRIGHTON.
Brighton is located on the National Road thirteen miles east of Springfield. The Springfield and Columbus traction
line goes through the village. It owes its location to the fact no doubt of the build- ing of the National Road, and is in the northeastern part of Harmony Township. It was platted by David Ripley and Mar- vin Gager in 1834, lots 1-32, and in 1835 another plat was added of lots 32-67. Afterwards an addition was added by Rathburn, lots 9-24, situated in the north of the National Road, and east of the road leading north was latterly vacated, only to be replatted by Jerome Stephenson in 1881. The first house was built on the northeast corner by John Buckland and was by him occupied as a hotel. About the same time Joseph Robinson built a saw-mill just east of the village. Gager and a man by the name of Alpin built a frame house on the southeast corner about the same time. In 1836 David Rip- ley built a two-story brick building on the northwest corner, which was used for several years as a hotel. A postoffice was established here called Brighton Cen- ter, in 1836, and Joseph Robinson was the first postmaster. It was discontinued after two years, until about ten years ago. Then a postoffice was again established under the name of Orchard, to be in time discontinued upon the introduction of free delivery. A carding-mill was built here in 1837 by George Snodgrass.
Martin Gager, who was a blacksmith, built a shop about the time that the vil- lage was platted, or previous thereto. In 1842 he attached a distillery to the same. A saw-mill was erected by Joseph Robin- son, which was operated for some time. After the National Road was opened, the village thrived, and until the building of the railroad from Springfield to Colum- bus its hotels were frequent stopping

places for travellers and teamsters. Like- wise it was a regular stopping place for the stage-coach, the mail being delivered in that way. The recent location of the traction line through the village has given it a new lease of life and it shows evidence of returning prosperity. A traction sub- station is located here.
BROTTENSBURGH.
Brottensburgh is the name of a village that exists only in history. It was lo- cated about three-quarters of a mile this side of Enon, where the road turns north towards the river. In 1818 John and James Leffel erected a grist-mill on Mad River. Considerable traffic was carried on in that direction and quite a cluster of houses, principally made out of logs, were erected at this place and occupied by per- sons employed in the mill. In 1837 the postoffice was established at this place and J. R. Miller was postmaster.
This was before Enon was of sufficient importance to demand a postoffice, and the nearest place to get mail was at Springfield.
Historically this site of Brottensburgh may be remembered, because it was at one time the property of the noted and eccentric Lorenzo Dow. This noted preacher traveled frequently through parts of Ohio, prior to his death in 1834.
Upon the establishment of Enon, Brot- tensburgh gradually went out of existence, until at this date nothing whatever re- mains to indicate its former location.
CATAWBA.
on the road leading from Vienna to Me- chanicsburg, about fourteen miles from Springfield. It was regularly laid out by Cass and Marsh upon the lands owned by George Dawson, in 1838. Prior to this time there was considerable of a settle- ment at this place. Henry Neer built the first house in the village. The second was built by Miller Williamson, a blacksmith. William Pearson, a carpenter and cab- inet-maker, built the first frame house. In 1831 Joseph Newlove established a store in a small room on the site where Joseph Pearson recently had his store.
In 1833 the postoffice was established and Herriman Chamberlain, who had suc- ceeded Newlove in his store, became the first postmaster. The first name for the place was Newburg, but there being an- other place of that name in the state, it was called Buck Creek. The first tavern was opened in 1838 on the southwest cor- ner of Champaign and Pleasant Streets. John Neer and Joseph Pearson were the first mail carriers. Letter postage at that time was twenty-five cents, payable at the office of delivery, if carried four hundred miles.
Prominent inhabitants of this village in recent years have been Thomas Wingate, who has had a store here since 1865; N. S. Conway, now deceased, and Joseph Pear- son had the hotel and the store connected from 1875 until 1896, and lives there a retired life. The late Dr. M. R. Hunter was the practicing physician of this place for half a century.
There are two churches and an excel- lent graded school. The village is incor- porated. Its inhabitants enjoy a culture and refinement beyond that usually found

that no saloon ever did or could exist in Owen Davis in 1800, there was no doubt of their midst.
The strong temperance sentiment, to- gether with the anti-slavery feeling that formerly existed here, have made this a stronghold of the Republican party.
Some years ago Mr. Joseph Pearson erected a hall for services for public meet-' ings, the store underneath being occupied for many years by Mr. C. H. Runyan. Mrs. Fralick now has a general store there.
The most stately residence is probably that of Mr. Eli Hunter. The village is situated on the crest of a ridge, which commands an excellent view of all the sur- rounding country. The nearest railroad facilities are on the Big Four at Catawba Station, about three miles to the north- west.
