Early Traders. - On January 16, 1835, George Wickham sold to Robert Mackie one aere on the N. W. corner of the N. W. Hof the S. W. ; of Sec. 30, Center; while, on June 25, 1836, Joseph Hollington sold to Louisa M. Mackie, a small tract in the S. E. | of Sec. 25. Plain, thus giving the Mackies a location on each side of the State road. Lee Moore deeded to Mrs. Mackie, on June 30, 1836, a tract of 41.70 acres in the S. W. ] of the S. W. [ of Ser. 31, Center township, with frontage on the State road. Mackie built, on the Wickham tract, a log barn in 1835. and, about the same time, a log house on the east line of Sec. 25, Plain, in the

extreme N. E. corner of the S. E. 1. almost op- posite the point where the Napoleon road leaves Main street. On November 5, 1836, the Mack- ies deeded to Dr. Eli Manville, in consideration of $200 paid, the tract beginning on the S. W. corner of the N. W. | of Sec. 30, in Center township, except the lots previously sold by Mackie to Jacob Hartman and Neptune Nearing, and the lots deeded to the township trustees for a school building site. At the same time, Mackie sold to Manville one acre in Sec. 25, Plain town- ship, commencing at a stake on the State road, extending forty-six links nearly S. E. from the S. E. corner of the frame house built by the grantor. On November 5, 1836, he conveyed to Manville one acre in the extreme N. W. corner of the S. W. { of Sec. 30, and accepted in payment for these tracts, In-lots Nos. 9 and 46 in the town of Miltonville, the price named being $1, 000. These transactions, with the fact that Mackie was licensed in 1835 and 1836 to sell goods. leave no doubt whatever regarding Mackie's own- ership of lands on Mt. Ararat, the establishment of a store and the erection of a frame house at that point by him. His sale of all real estate to Dr. Manville, late in 1836, is also of record; while the fact that he was the first merchant is authenticated by many pioneers.

A mercantile license was issued to Eli Man- ville in 1837, which was renewed in 1838. He was a popular physician, druggist and general merchant, and the successor of the pioneer dealer. Wolverton, the Indian doctor, was here then. as he had been prior to 1837, while northward a distinct settlement existed in the neighborhood of the post office.

The old " Mackie House " became the prop- erty of Simeon Eaton, of Manmee. Simeon Eaton, who married the widow of Jonathan Fay. in September, 1844, built the square-roofed heuse nearly on the opposite side of the street, after- ward known as the . Gilmour House," to which he removed his stock of goods in 1843, and which store was kept until some time in 1856, the last proprietor being the late Alex. Selkirk. As shown in the record of old merchants of the county, Eaton was licensed to keep store in 1844. The last public purpose for which the Mackie place was used was when G. Z. Avery kept a tavern there in 1852. 53. and the 4th of july " doings" there that year was a shooting match for a bear. The Underwoods used it in 1835 as a dwelling- house; then Drake, the blacksouth. It was torn down in Loop. John M. Hannon kept the first tavern. He afterward lived on and owned what has since been known as the Huff place. in the

215

north part of town, later owned by F. Renz. Hannon was a "character " in that day, and no one who knew him can forget him for his out- landish eccentricity. He was a thick-set, round- headed, compact man, with short curly hair and piercing black eyes. He seldom wore a hat or coat, and was often without shoes. He lived at home more like an Arab than a white man. A part of his humble habitation was windowless, and was shared with the chickens for a roost. He seemed to prefer this mode of life, though it ill suited his wife. If there were an old, crooked- legged, ill-shapen horse in the country, Hannon was sure to get it, and his, gear of ropes, strings, straps and hickory bark, with wagon to corres- pond, would shame a Florida cracker. It was said of him derisively that he could tie on a horse's shoe with a dry elder withe.

Jacob Eberly was the first blacksmith in Cen- ter, and consequently the first in the Bowling Green district; but Jacob Whitmore was undoubt- edly the first regular one in the village; thoughi Hannon gave some attention to his trade before Whitmore appeared. John Whitehead, of Plain township, made tables and chairs for many years, and may be called the cabinet maker of the set- tlement; though Caleb Lord and his partner, Bailey, opened the first regular cabinet shop on or near the site of the Commercial Bank building of the present day. John Drake, the third blacksmith, worked near the Mackie store for some years, and in 1848 purchased Jacob Whit- more's shop for $150. Being unable to pay $100 of the purchase money, he migrated to Fort Leavenworth, in 1850, earned a fair sum of money there, and returning the same year carried on business " at the old stand" for a long period, and became a famous maker of plow shares. E. I. Carr's wagon-shop was the next industry. He erected a shop north of the old Burns house of later days. in 1848 or 1849, but moved to Cal- ifornia that year or in 1850.

Ed. Gossett, a painter by trade, and an in- structor in band music, was the next landlord. and kept house in a little frame building on the corner where the old "American " stood, in the north part of town. It went by the name of " White Hall." and burned down some years ago. It was in a corner room of that building that L. C. Locke opened out a little stock of goods in 1846, some say '47, where he remained until the Hood building was completed for use. To show how accidental the location of the town at this particular place was, it may be here stated that Locke tried to buy land for his store, of Jacob Hartman, opposite the " Gilmour House " (north

of it), nearly or quite three-fourths of a mile south of the corners at the "Lease House." During the early part of Fillmore's Presidency, Locke was appointed postmaster, and hisstore soon be- came general headquarters in the settlement. Locke occupied a part of the building for a resi- dence. The building, though since much im- proved in extent and appearance, was considered quite an extravagant affair here in those days. Judge Cook, who was then a young man, a pias- terer by trade, came out from Perrysburg and plastered the walls for Locke.

The records of deeds throw a light on real- estate transactions, at and round the "corners " in 1837. 1846 and 1848. On August 12, 1837. Joseph Wade sold to Theron Pike two acres. Sec. 18, T. 5, R. 11, situate in the S. E. of N. W. and N. E. of S. W. 1, except a small piece in the extreme N. W. of S. E. 1. Locke & Peck bought an acre from Alfred Thurstin on east side of Main street, September 14, 1846, where is now the First National Bank, and one-half acre in 1847. William G. Lamb sold for $70, on Janı- ary 25. 1848, to Theron and Thomas M. Pike, a tract of one acre and thirty-two rods of the N. E. corner of S. E. 1 of S. E. 1, Sec. 24, Plain, and they also bought twelve rods on the west side of Main street, south of Wooster, and sixteen rods back. On February 25. 1852, William Lewis bought the present Milliken corner from Alfred Thurstin. for $50, which he sold the same day to Thomas M. Pike.

The Locke store rose above prinitiveness fore the close of 1848, and drew custom from the traders of Portage, New Rochester and other trading points outside Perrysburg. He estab lished an ashery on a large scale, and thus provid ed profitable employment for a number of men. He exchanged general merchandise for farm prod ucts, and became a forwarding agent as well as . merchant. To his enterprise and business ability the importance of the little hamlet known as Bowling Green, of 1848, must be credited, and it is not a matter for surprise to hear old settlers say that were it not for Locke there would be no town between Portage and Perrysburg. The Pikes, Theron and Thomas M., purchased the land known as " Gaghan's Corner, " and " Younk er's Drug Store," carly in 1848, and, the same year. Thomas M. Pike built a little frame house. in which he installed a small stock of goods. the same which Mrs. Maria Pike carried on in later days.

The reminiscences of Mrs. J. A. Shannon (Lucy Bassett) speak of the village as she knew it early in the " fifties." " I taught here. " she

said, "in the summer of 1853 and '54, but was not the first teacher in the old school house. It was well adorned with ink stains and knife marks when I began my work there. Mrs. Maria Pike kept a small store on Gaghan's Corner, and there were no houses going west until you reached the brick one where Mrs. Gor- rill now lives. It was then occupied by the widow Tracy and her son-in-law, Isaiah Norton. Mrs. T. was the mother of J. R. Tracy, of To- iedo. Going east from Alfred Thurstin's corner, now Lincoln & Son's drug store, was a little stone house occupied by a Frenchman named Donzey (now the Crim place), and the next house was where Mrs. D. Noves now lives. From the old Lamb place, now Ordway. there was no house until you reached Lee Moore's. James Lamb then lived in a log house on the high knoll opposite Moore's. Dr. Lamb lived in a log house just north of Mrs. Laura Smith's; and in a log youse, standing near where A. E. Royce once lived. David Lee then lived. Capt. Locke . then kept the store and post office in the . Hood House.' Mr. George Thomas was then build- ing the hotel on the corner, while he fed and housed the tired and hungry in what in the eight- ies' was the .Commercial House,' in the north part of the town. Dr. Rogers lived where J. V. Owens now does, and the widow Lowell occupied a log honse nearly opposite. I think there was no house between A. Thurstin's and Mrs. Low- ell's on the east side of the road. The children from the families of Messrs. Poe. George Will- iams, J. H. Thurstin and Peter Richards, came to that old school house. The next year / 1854). Mr. Thomas occupied his new hotel-later the ' Lease House' -- and G. Z. Avery the one in the north part of town."

During the ensuing decade very few changes took place in the commercial or business circle. From 1861 to 1865 a few new men became iden- tified with the village. After Appomattox a few more located here, and in 1866 began to make their presence felt. Ordway & Truesdale estab- lished a saw- and flonring-mill in January. 1862. and placed Perry Thomas in charge. In the flouring-mill were one run of stone for buckwheat and two for wheat. There were no demands in those days for patent flour; the people lived to work and cat. to be strong and healthy, so that the coarse products of the buhrs suited the appe- tites of 1862, as well as that of the roller-mill does the appetites of 1896, if not better.

The business circle in 1866 comprised S. L. Bonghton (merchant and P. M. C. F. Button, William Hood and A A. Thurstin, general merch-

ants; Dr. George W. Vail, or Vail & Fookes, cloth- ing dealers; Reed & Rodgers and L. H. Burns, grocers; George W. Scovill, dealer in sewing machines; Addison Fay (later Gring & Fay . dealer in boots and shoes; Owens & Getman. dealers in dry goods, boots and shoes and hard- ware (dissolved partnership in 1867. J. V. Owens continuing the business); Rogers & Manville. druggists: S. S. Thomas, photographer; Miss Stove, milliner; Lee and Joseph Klopfenstein and Samuel G. Hopkins, lime-kiln operators; Charles Noyes and Caleb Lord, furniture dealers; Luce & Stearns, jewelers: Curren & Sares, meat market: Clippinger's tannery; D. H. Richards succeeded Richards & Cooley: G. Z. Avery carried on the Bowling Green and Tontogany and the Bowling Green & Findlay stage lines, while J. Ames owned the Bowling Green & Haskins hack line. with headquarters at the " Prairie House, " Hask- ins. In 186 -. Radulph & Sons occupied William Hood's old store: H. Hoffman established him- self in the hardware business; A. Selkirk in the boot and shoe trade; Kitchen, Yonker & Lind- say carried on the planing-mill and sash and door factory, and Isaac Clay. to whom G. Z. Avery sold his hotel in November, 1866, became a factor in the life of the village. In 1868, Aaron Cog- geshall established his butcher shop, and Simeon Pierce his barber shop. Lewis H. Cass, of Cass Corners, offered his stock of merchandise for sale in February, 1868; I. B. Banks advertised bis Weston store, and Feagles & Cunning their Haskins store

In 1871, mention is made of Hugh Cargo. the landlord of the "American House;" Clif- ford's hack line: Hull & Smith's boot and shoe store; A. E. Ebersole, druggist; Reed & Bever- stock, bankers; F. R. Gafkey, manufacturer of doors, sash and blinds; and William A. Whita- ker, postmaster. Two years later, J. D. Whita- ker advertised his drug store; Reed & Martin. their grocery, and wagon factory; Gedney & Gibbs, their drug store: L. Sader's drain-tile factory; Fred Eaton & Co.'s dry-goods house

The business circle in Centennial vear em- braced George W. Gaghan, Beverstock & Merry. Evers & Rudulph. H. H. Callin, F. Eaton, and H. H. Yonker, named above, with C. F. Bell and Frederick & Kinney, dealers in boots and shoes: Peter Tisseur, jeweler; C. H. Lehman, dealer in meats; Hankey & White, clothing mer- chants; William Goit, tinner and dealer in hard- ware; A.

Schools. - The reminiscences of the first school at Bowling Green, written by the late Joseph Hollington, and published in the Sentinel in 1884, drew attention to a most interesting subject, and brought the majority of the surviving pupils together, in July and August, 1895, to dis- cuss the question fully. Alfred Thurstin, the owner of the house in which school was held, is the owner also of the house in which the old pu- pils assembled on July 31, 1895. Nathan Moore, Samantha (Shively) Richards and Ambrose Hol- lington, with C. W. Evers and others, were pres- ent, and the following story of the pioneer school was declared correct :

The first Thurstin cabin was partially com- pleted in 1833. It was of the regulation size and style, being a log structure, 15 x 20 feet in floor area, chinked with mud and covered with shakes held in place by weight-poles. The puncheon floor was down, and in this condition the builder left it, hoping to make the place his home when he would return in 1834 or 1835. During the summer of 1834 the residents of the locality de - termined to organize a school, and hiring a teacher (as some say, a female instructor; as others, S. W. Hanson, of Maumee) they sent their chil- dren en masse to gather up the crumbs of wisdom which might fall from the tongue of the peda- gogne. The pupils were: Eliza, Marit and Louisa Martindale, Henrietta and Phoebe Moore, Nathan and Albert Moore, Ambrose, Albert and Samantha Shively, Richard, Ambrose and Joseph Hollington, Mahalla and Henrietta Race. and Isaac Hixon. For six weeks the children at- tended school, while their teacher . boarded round," receiving at the close of the term a small sum in recognition of his services. The sport at noon and recess, was playing around in the brush, swinging on grape vines, picking wintergreen. killing snakes, of which there were plenty, and chasing squirrels. There was very little order or system in the school-room, and the pupils were allowed to do pretty much as they pleased; they went out when they wanted to, and came in

when they got ready. It was fan for Joseph Hollington, for he had had a light taste of the rigid discipline of the schools in the Old Country. The books used were whatever the family hap- pened to have; some brought a Testament, an- other a history, and another a spelling-book, and another the Life of Marion." If there were an arithmetic in the school-room, no one recol- lects the fact. En route to school one morning, a massasauga attacked William Hollington, and the boy would have died had not the Indian doctor, Wolverton, shown the people a weed, the juice of which counteracts the poison of the rattlesnake. Willing hands picked and pressed the wild plant, and others applied the juice, so that in a short time the boy was able to resume attendance. At that time there was a three-acre swale on Main street, near the present " Hotel Brown," which had no outlet, and was a favorite rendezvous for snakes of all kinds.

The South school house, a log structure. which stood near the intersection of Main street and the Napoleon road, on the north side of the road, within the limits of Bowling Green, was built in 1835 by Adam Phillips, Lee Moore. Henry Shively, Joseph A. Sargent, Joseph Hol- lington, Sr., David L. Hixon, Thomas R. Tracy and David De Witt. W. G. Charles is said by some persons to have been the first teacher, and W. R. Peck, or "The Little Doctor." the last teacher in 1851. The building took the place of the Thurstin cabin, and in it some of the pupils, named as attending the first school in 1834, con- tinued their lessons. The names of the children and adults, as remembered by William Phillips, are as follows: "The relator, John Lorenzo and Daniel Thurstin. Isaac and Margaret Hixon, Peter F. Richards, Samantha Shively, Ambrose. Alfred and Albert Shively. Thomas, William. Abigail and Isaac Tracy, Washington. Joseph and John De Witt, Nancy and Snowden L. Sar- gent, Amelia Crago, Ann Stauffer. Caleb Clark. Nathan and Albert Moore, Frank Maginnis. Henrietta and Phoebe Moore Richard, Joseph. Ambrose and William Hollington, Mars Nearing, and John, Fred. and Josephine Hartman.' William Bailey, a visitor from New York, was among the first, if not the first, to preside over that school. Master Simonds, from Cleveland, followed, then Morris Brown, and. next Isaac Van Tassel 12 . Miss Patty Bardick was an early teacher, and in 1841 Mrs. Richard presided over the institution.

section, or, rather, N. E. corner of Ridge and Main streets. The lumber cost $8.00, and Thur- stin's services $2; but the district permitted the bills to run until they were outlawed, and then voted against paying them.

For a period of thirty-five years there was little to indicate the present condition of the schools. Though there was a marked improve- ment in the methods of teaching prior to 18 ?! , the science of pedagogics was scarcely under- stood, and little attention was paid to the sanitary condition of school houses.

The Bowling Green Euglish Classical Semi- nary was established by Rev. William McElwee, in the parsonage of the Presbyterian church, in 1871, but in August, same year, the Seminary was discontinued. Since that time private schools have been the exception rather than the rule here.

The records of the board of education date back to April 18, 1871, when S. W. St. John and A. S. Nims, members elect for three years, with Amherst Ordway, president, S. L. Bongh- ton, secretary, and S. Case, treasurer (vice S. L. Boughton), met to transact business. The school tax levied was five and a half mills. The teach- ers employed were: Superintendent, at $65 a month, H. C. Norton. Libbie Hecox was employed for the intermediate school at a sal- ary of $30. For the primary school Annie E. Poe was employed at $25. Mary Pope taught the winter school in Lease's building, her pay being one dollar per day and, in March, 1872, Elizabeth Blackwood took charge of the intermediate school, while Anna Poe and J. L. Gilpatrick were teachers in the other schools. In April, 1872, J. H. Reid was chosen clerk, and S. L. Boughton, treasurer. In June Mr. Gilpatrick was offered $100 a month as superintendent: later, Misses Poe, Van Tassel and Husted were named as teachers, and, in July, the contract for building an annex to the school house was awarded to A. Ordway, on his bid of $470. The school examiners in April, 1873, were David Cargo, S. Case and John H. Reid. In May, 1873, the board offered to the village council a room in the school house, free of charge, in lien of the room for which the council paid $60 annually.

In June, 1873, Superintendent Gilpatrick re- signed; Gideon Ditto was offered the place, and Anna A. Shannon was employed as teacher in the secondary school. In January, 1874. Samuel Case was appointed superintendent, vice Ditto, and served until W. H. Wolf was ap- pointed in February. Hugh Cargo was chosen a director in April, 1374, and with Messrs. Bough-

ton, Case, Reid and Nims formed the board. In August J. B. Cash was appointed superintend- ent. The election of 1875 resulted in the choice of P. S. Abbott. Joseph Hollington and A. S. Nims, vice J. R. Rudolph, while Boughton, Case and Cargo held over. P. S. Abbott succeeded Reid as clerk, but the latter succeeded Abbott in September, and at the same time L. D. Heller took charge of the schools as superintendent. Misses Minton, Van Tassel, Poe and the other old teachers named being still identified with the system, with Amelia Klopfenstein, Allie Lundy and Lillie Minton. new teachers. in April, 1876, there were thirty attendants in high school, thirty- three in grammar, thirty-four in intermediate. thirty-four in secondary and twenty-one in pri- mary. M. P. Brewer was elected a director at this time, Kittie M. Smith was appointed teacher in June, and Eliza H. Webb, Florence Donald- son and Gertrude Foote in September. In April, 1877, Charles W. Evers and Andrew j. Man- ville were elected directors, and with Messrs. Brewer, Boughton, and Hollington formed the board. W. S. Haskell was employed as super- intendent. and Charles St. John as a teacher in the grammar school, while M. P. Brewer was elected clerk. J. C. Lincoln was elected director in 1878. vice Reid; W. S. Haskell was offered the position of superintendent, and Lelia Swigart and Mrs. Richards added to the corps of teach- ers. The question of issuing $16,000 bonds was discussed in January, 1879, submitted to vote in February, but defeated, when a second proposi- tion submitted to vote on April 7, 1879. asking for $13,000, was carried by a vote of 220 of the 319 votes cast. Messrs. Evers, Lincoln, Man- ville, Boughton, Brewer and Hollington formed the board at that time, and were, indeed, the spirits of improvement in school as in other mat- ters.

In April. 1879, George C. Phelps and John A. Shannon, with Messrs. Evers. Hollington. Manville and Lincoln, were the directors: Charles W. Evers was elected clerk, vice Brewer, and George C. Phelps, treasurer, vice Boughton. In May, the bonds for $13,000 were sold to O. S. Bond at par and one per cent. premium, and the battle over a school site commenced, The motion to purchase 1.90 acres of Mrs Lease, adopted May 21, met with a strong protest, and was sub- sequently expunged from the record. On June IL, an offer of $500 was made to Button & Smith. for 200 x 250 feet in Block No. 14, Button's al- dition, and $500 to George W. Smith for the sonth 200 feet of the west half of Lot Ho, in Block 12. The offers were refused, and condem-

nation proceedings instituted. By this means the property was acquired. Architect E. O. Fallis prepared plans for the building, and the work of constructing the first large house (other than the court house and jail) at Bowling Green was entered upon. The directors and officers named in 1879 were re-elected in 1880, and in August of that year purchased from S. L. Bough- ton three-quarters of an acre in the southwest part of Lot 326, Block B, of his addition, for $300. Earl W. Merry took Director Hollington's place in December, 1880, and in April, ISSI, he and John R. Hankey were elected directors, and, with Messrs. Evers, Phelps, Manville and Shan- non, formed the board. C. W. Evers resigned the office of clerk in April, 1881, and John R. Hankey was elected to fill that position. In 1882. S. Case was chosen clerk, and A. J. Manville treasurer, to succeed Judge Phelps, while in 1884 WV. M. Tuller was elected clerk and E. W. Merry treasurer.

The directors elected since April, 1882, were as follows: A. D. Stewart and S. Case, 1882; W. M. Tuller and J. C. Lincoln, 1883; J. D. Bolles, W. S. Haskell and E W. Merry, 1884; A. M. Russell and W. S. Haskell, 1885; j. C. Lincoln and A. W. Rndulph, 1886, with J. D. Bolles, treasurer; I. W. Clayton, Robert Dunn and J. I). Bolles, 1887, with A. M. Russell, clerk; John H. Whitehead and J. S.
