Jacob Furry entered Road Tract, No. 41, in IS33, and others, named in the list of first voters, invested in road, canal and swamp lands, taking deeds from the State.

The Western Reserve Road .- One of the most important improvements, in this part of Ohio, was commenced in 1825, when a "mud pike " was constructed from Lower Sandusky to Perrysburg, a distance of thirty-one miles. Not- withstanding the fact that schooner, brig and steamboat carried many of the thousands, who settled in the West, the direct route for other thousands, who traveled overland, was through the Black Swamp. For this reason, the build- ing of the "mud pike " was looked upon as a great advance. About 1825, Artemus Beebe and Ezra S. Adams, of Elyria, bought the in- terests of Silas Wolverton in the mail route, be- tween Cleveland and Lower Sandusky, and in 1827 placed the first mail coaches on that line, which they extended to Detroit, via Fremont and Perrysburg, in 1830. In 1836, Neil, Moore & Co.'s coaches were placed on this end of the route, and in 1838 Toledo was made a terminal point, and the railroad began to make inroads on the old-time coach. By degrees the number

of coaches lessened, and ultimately disappeared. In 1875, the Chicago and New York fast mail made the trip between the two cities, in twenty- six hours and forty minutes, or about one-third of the time required by the mail carriers of 1823 to run from Norwalk, Ohio, to Detroit, Mich. The pioneers and old settlers of Troy, Lake and Perrysburg well remember the early days along this road. They relate that mud-holes were created for revenue purposes, that yokes of oxen for helping to extricate teams were kept in readi- ness, and that the mud holes, convenient to each tavern, were the perquisites of the nearest tav- erner: Indeed, it is said that one of the mud- hole owners, becoming tired of this holey de- partment of his business, sold his interest therein to a neighbor for $5, hoping by this means, to escape retribution in the next world, and the curses of the immigrants, who were delayed in their westward travels, in this.

Neil, Moore & Co., whose coaches plied over the old mud-road, were made the butt of ridi- cule. One of the early poets of Wood county, writing for the Maumee Express, in 1837, de- scribes the road at that period:

No more we hear the Jarvey say: "Load in, gents, all is right," The horn that used to sound by day, alas! now sounds by night, And soon, deep-stalled in endless mud, no more the coach can go -- A lumber wagon takes the road-alas! Neil, Moore & Co.

In wet seasons, or when the spring sun peeped through the forest and warmed the frosty ground, the mud-road was well-nigh impassable. At all times it was a dernier resort for the trav- eler, and the bug-a-boo of thousands, who dared the delays, troubles and expenses of a journey over it. Time, which heals all troubles, covered it with rocks and broken stone; but, ten years after the work was completed, the railroad came to rob it of its travelers, and to leave it only a small fraction of its former vast patronage.

Men of 1839 .- The male inhabitants of the original township, over twenty-one years of age, in 1839, were: Orrin Kellogg, Joseph Kellogg. Casper Noel, Jacob Furry, John Gallaher, James More, Simon Wagoner, Thomas Crago, James McLargan, Daniel Walden, Peter Fisher, Jehiel P. Martin, Joseph Webster, Adam Harmire, Daniel Carsner, George Albert, Jr., Joshua Main. Anthony Ewing, Dexter Leffingwell, Thomas Phillips, Solomon Phillips, Nathan White, Charles Stoner, Benedict Cramer, Joshua Smith, John L.

The list embraces the names of many whose lives were identified with Lake and Webster townships, and of a few who became prominent 11. the history of Perrysburg.

The Cholera .- In 1852 and 1854 the cholera plagne struck Troy, taking away Fred, Julia and William Rolfes, Philip Hartman, James La Far- ree, and others in 1852, and one or two from every family in 1854.

Landmarks. -- The umbrella barn, about three miles southeast of Stony Ridge, was one of the landmarks of the road. The old "Howard House," at LeMoyne, is a good specimen of the ancient tavern. "Elders Tavern," owned by Russell in 1835, was the only frame house on the old Reserve road. It stands three-quarters of a mile southeast of the railroad depot, at Stony Ridge, and is occupied by William Elder. The villages of LeMoyne and Stony Ridge, on the old road, are modern in style of buildings and in the habits and customs of their inhabitants.

Churches .- The Troy German Evangelical Lutheran Church, of which Henry Rolfes, Louis Meierrosee, E. Samsen and Fred Nieman were trustees, purchased, in 1864, from George Joseph, the lands in the western quarter of Sec. 25, T. ". K. 12, where the society began building a church early that year. To-day there are about "fly members. The heads of families, named in the record of School District No. 4, in 1856, were nearly all members of this society. Rev. M. A. Johanson is the resident pastor and teacher

"of the Lutheran school at that point. About fourteen years ago, he succeeded Adam Burkey, who succeeded Rev. George Cronewett.

Andrew Hays, well-known in Montgomery and Perry townships, has been a local preacher in the M. E. Church since 1844. He has prob- ably officiated at more marriages and funerals than any other local preacher in the county, and has had more Gospel adventures than a dozen of his fellows. A little incident which took place a few years ago in which the gentleman was the principal actor, and which relates to Troy town- ship, deserves mention. It was told by Mrs. Carter, and, of course, is fact throughout. He was notified to fill an appointment for a brother minister somewhere in the northern part of the county, Troy township. It was a bright Sabbath morning, and Andrew went riding leisurely along, probably thinking over the heads of his dis- course. Looking up he saw just ahead of him a church and people gathering for service. As it was about the place where he expected to find the church, and about the time to begin service, he made no inquiries of any one, but hitched his horse, walked into the church and entered the pulpit. He announced the opening hymn, which was sung by the congregation, offered prayer, the congregation sung the second time, and as Rev. Hays was about to announce his text, a gentle- man stepped into the pulpit and placing his hand on Hays' shoulder, said to him: "My good brother, it may be your sing and pray, but it is my preach." Mutual explanations followed, when Brother Hays discovered it was about four miles farther on to his appointment. It is only necessary to remark that he arrived some time after his congregation had got tired of waiting, and dispersed to their homes.

In the matter of churches, Woodville was the Mecca of worshipers of Troy township for some years. In 1840, a Lutheran class was organized by Messrs. Konrad and Cronewett; a Catholic * congregation was formed by Father Rappe. in 1843; a German Methodist Society was organized the same year; a Methodist Society in 1844: and the United Brethren Society about the same time.

STONY RIDGE.

The village was surveyed in May, 18;2, for Caleb Bean, on Road-tract 50, and that part on Tract 38, for Saumel Shriner, George Kirk being the surveyor. The name, taken from the phys- ical character of the locality, is altogether ap- propriate. The pioneers of Stony Ridge find

mention in the sketch of the township, and in more than one chapter of the general history; while her soldiers are named in the Military chap- ter. The "Empire House," built in 1848 or 1849, stands on the hill southeast of the village, and near it are the church buildings of the com- munity. The postmaster is E. F. Metzger, who is also township clerk.

The Methodist Episcopal Church was organ- ized about 1840, with the following named mem- bers: Jacob and Fanny Furry, John and Peggy Noel, James McLargan, James Moore, John Goss, James La Farree, Sr., Joshua Smith, Sr., and their wives, Mrs. Gorrill, Mary Smith and John Reid. There were others belonging, but the names can not be given. Fifteen or sixteen years ago the Stewarts. McCutchens, Mrs. Eliza Robinson, and Catherine Eagle became mem- bers; but the personnel of the first class got re- ligion during a camp meeting held down on Mud creek, in 1839 or 1840. The first church, erected in 1856, is now the temporary dwelling of Eugene Morris. In 1889, the present house of worship was erected, and dedicated December I, 1889. Mr. Albrittor is presiding elder, with Rev. C. M. Myers, preacher-in-charge. Rev. john Stewart has supplied the pulpit for over a decade.

St. John's Lutheran Church was founded by Rev. E. Cronewett, of Woodville, Ohio. Among the early members were John F. and Joshua G. Swartz, Ludwig Metzger, George Miller, George Lederer, Daniel Snyder, C. Hazel. C. Meyers, Adam Snyder, Jacob Kurfess, and Samuel Gossert. For the first few years services were held very irregularly as the society had no church building. In 1872, the present house of worship was erected at an approximate cost of $2, 500, and the parsonage, which was built about ISSo, cost $800. The pastors of the charge have been Revs. Buerkle, Sheips and George Wolf, until 1887, when, in July of that year, the present incumbent, Rev. John Born, assumed the pastorate. The present membership is about 150, which is in a thriving condition. The Sab- bath-school has an attendance of about seventy.

The Union League, of which Thomas Gorrill was president, and De Witt Van Camp, secretary, was organized May 30, 1863, with fifty-one male and nineteen female members.

Sydney Brewster Post, No. 160. G. A. R., was chartered October 28, ISSI, and named in honor of a soldier of Company C, 2ist O. V. I., who fell mortally wounded at Chickamauga, Sep- tember 20, 1863. The charter was granted to M. Kopf, H. S. Clifford, Thomas Mears, C D. i

Dennis, Thomas Lee, John Priest, Richard Priest, C. Guisbuehler, George Miller, Jacob Baker, Isaiah Chamberlain, J. V. Smith and Michael Burgemeister. The four first named filled the offices in Post rank, with M. Burgermeister as ad- jutant. In 1884, H. S. Clifford was commander, M. M. Carr, adjutant, there being thirty-one members at that time, with headquarters at Le- Moyne. Meetings were also held at Stony Ridge until the decrease in membership caused the dis- solution of the organization.

Knights of Honor Lodge, No. 3490, was or- ganized June 28, 1889, with twenty-five mem- bers, among whom were Wesley Bean, Nathan and George Robinson, Marshall Cole, James and Frank Wagoner, Dr. H. A. Noble, Michael Hackley, Lucian Snyder, A. C. Calkins and Sol- omon Bouncer. There are now eighty members enrolled.

LEMOYNE.

This little railroad village of the present day. was at one time an important stage-coach sta- tion, one well remembered by tens of thousands, who traveled over the Western Reserve road be- fore the days of railroading were introduced in the Maumee Country. The .. Howard House," a brick building in Colonial style, was the first pretentious structure in the eastern townships.

The village, as surveyed in February, 1877. for S. Howard, Alfred Dennis, John Webb and U. J. Dennis, shortly after the opening of the railroad, was named Le Moyne, now spelled Lemoyne.

The first store was established in 1877, by H. H. Dennis; R. Bollini opened the second the same year, and James Nicholson. the third, a few years later. The old brick caravansary has long been divorced from tavern uses, and is now the property of Harmnan Hartman.

The office of the C. H. V. & T. railroad was ·opened in 1876, by J. W. Crawford, who was agent until 1880, when A. N Newell, the pres- ent agent, took charge.

The post office was opened in ISSo, and in April, 1881, created a registry office. The in- cumbents have been Jacob Mayer, who signs the record in April. 188 :; H. H. Dennis, June, 1883; Michael Kopf, September, 1885, and Thomas A. Spencer, 1889. John D. Bringman was appointed in 1893.

The Trowbridge Stave Works was an im- portant industry here for some years, or until the forests round the new village of Dunbridge won the industry for that point.

WOOD COUNTY, OHIO.

The Sawyer limekiln, established twelve or thirteen years ago, was abandoned after a short run, owing to the poor quality of the lime rock found here.

The early ventures of oildom south of the vil- lage, though earnest. did not succeed in finding petroleum in paying quantities, though latter- day explorations in Troy and Lake leave little room for doubting the existence of a pool in the old territory.

Salem Evangelical Church adopted a constitu- tion November 2, 1871, signed by Rev. S. E. Rife, preacher, and members of the society. The church building was then finished, and rules made for attending worship. Among such rules was No. 5: "The Males to be seated to the left of the preacher on the stand, and the Females to the right of the preacher on the stand." The society is said to have been organized n Novem- ber, 1841.

United Brethren Church (Radical), was or- ganized in 1881, by Rev. J. M. Crim, with the following named members: D. Van Camp, R. L. Van Camp, H. S. Clifford, and their wives, Wm. Andrews (then a widower), A. N. Newall, Benedict Emch, Fred. Barnes and their wives, Ellen Van Camp, Laura, Katie and Barbara Hahn, and a number of young members, making in all about forty members. The present church building was finished in 1882, at a cost of $1, Soo, including lot. The trustees, since organization, have been A. N. Newell, H. S. Clifford and William Andrews, while the other two places on the board have been filled by various members. There are twenty-five communicants. Rev. C. T. Doane is pastor.

LUCKEY.

This village was surveyed, in April, ISSI, for Isaac W. Krotzer, by George Kirk. The loca- tion could not be better; for, between the rail- road and a small feeder of the Toussaint, in Section 28, the ridge assumes a form peculiarly adapted to a town site. The main street, run- ning west from the railroad, is a broad thorough- fare, wanting only in lines of shade trees to be- come a boulevard. On the north side of this street are the principal business buildings -- a row of brick houses which would do credit to a town of 10,000 inhabitants. West of the busi- ness center are the cottages of the people; while on parallel streets are several cozy homes and the church and school buildings of the commu- nity. Along the railroad are the limelilns and

stave works, and round the village, in every di- rection, are the well-cultivated farms and honses of an industrious people.

The store of Samuel P. Hathaway must be considered the first mercantile venture at this point, and the limekiln of Riddle, Krotzer & Krotzer, the first industry.

The post office was established in ISSI, with George Luckey, postmaster. Samuel P. Hath- away succeeded him in 1882, and, on his resigna- tion, Charles F. Greiner was appointed. In 1885, Edward Myers was commissioned ; in IS89, Samuel P. Hathaway; and, in 1893, G. F. Peabody, who resigned in January, 1895, when G. F. Claus, the present incumbent, was ap- pointed.

. C. C. Layman, who located at Luckey il 1884, was the first lawyer of the village; while Dr. Peabody must be named as the first phy- sician, though one or two medical men resided here. for short terms, before he began practice.

S. P. Hathaway made the commercial be- ginnings of the village in IS71. when the grading of the A. & L. E. railroad (now the T. & O. C.) was commenced. Ten years later he built on Main street, sold that house to the Myers bro- thers, and built on the site of his present store. After the village was platted the other pioneers of trade came in.

The fire of July 12, 1893, destroyed the two blocks extending along the north side of Main street, from Charles to Walnut, including the stores of Myers Bros., S. P. Hathaway, E. F. Peabody and G. F. Claus; Krotz's saloon; the Hathaway dwelling, and Mrs. Wagner's milli- nery. In the fall of that year, the Hathaway- Peabody brick block was erected, and also the Myers block. The Claus and Daniel Rife build- ings were erected at the same time, and before the winter of 1893-94 a row or terrace of brick mercantile houses had taken the place of the old- time frame structures.

The Methodist Episcopal Church was organ- ized in Webster township at the Walker school house a number of years ago. The headquarters of the class were, in 1882 or ISS3, moved to Luckey, where a building was erected on a lot donated to the society. Among the first mem- bers were fra Austin ( who has been steward or secretary since reorganization ), Richard Priest, Martin Tooley, Thomas Holden, Elisha Holden, Fred Miller. Wm. Goss, Orlin Goodell, Daniel Caris, james Hopper, William Lance, William Barber and their wives, Mrs. Sanders, Mrs. Lch- man, Mrs. Vleckie, Mrs. Clegg. Mrs. Kretzer. The Church is in the Pemberville Circuit.

WOOD COUNTY, OIIIO.

The German Lutheran Church was incorpor- ated January 23, 1884, with Conrad Kuttler and Gerhard Dierkey, elders, and H. Hoelter, Franz Vahle and Peter Lehman, trustees. The work of church building was commenced that year. and the house of worship was dedicated in the fall.

The Salem Evangelical Church was dedicated November 19, 1893, Rev. Berger, of Perrysburg, being pastor. The house cost $1,500. The society was organized by Rev. Rosenbarger years ago, and services were held in the old school house until the society purchased the house from the district, about twelve years ago, mnoved it to the site of the present church, and worshiped therein until 1892, when the Catholic congrega- tion bought the old building, moved it to Luckey, where it is used for worship. The heads of famn- ilies of the Evangelical Society, at or about the time of organization, included John Jacob. John Christian, Jacob Christian, J. W. Rothenbuehler, Samuel Jacob, and their wives, with Mrs. Brandt. Gott. Burkholder is steward. The membership in October, 1895, was sixty-eight.

The Catholic Mission was established in 1892 by Father Kress, when the old Evangelical build- ing was purchased, and fitted up as a mission chapel. Among the members were James Pow- ers, Sr., M. Mccluskey, Leonard Karns, John Hagartys, John Berning, James Maginn, Henry Berning, Joseph Whalen, Joseph Kehn and M. Biskey. The mission is now attended by Father O'Connor.

WEBB.

Webb, in the northeast corner, was the postal center and shipping point for parts of the two counties. In the fall of 1895, the post office was discontinued, owing to the proximity of Lemoyne, Latchie and Stony Ridge.

CONCLUSION.

The township may be called a rural or predial one. The agriculturists are sturdy and indus- trious, and their farms and homes show how thoroughly they understand and appreciate their advantages.
