The Colonel Commanding desires to compliment Company_B, upon their excellent condition, as shown by the report of the inspector of February 7, 1889, made by Col. C. V. Hard.

The officers and members have cause to be proud of their organization. It stands foremost among the model military companies of the State, and is a credit to the city of Akron, the Eighth Regiment, and the Ohio National Gnard. Very respectfully,

To Capt. F. C. Bryan,

Com'd'g Company B., Akron, Ohio.

GEO. R. GYGER, Col. Eighth Regt. O. N. G.

Company B was also honored with an invitation to participate in the celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the inaugu- ration of President George Washington, at New York, April 30, 1889, but because of their having so recently helped to inaugurate the new president, they were obliged to decline the honor.

SIXTH BATTERY LIGHT ARTILLERY.

The Sixth Battery, Ohio National Guard, of which body Akron is so justly proud, was organized November 27, 1877, with sixty members, the commissioned officers being: Joseph C. Ewart, captain; Thomas F. Wildes, first lieutenant; John H. Campbell, second lieutenant, Captain Ewart by unanimous choice of the battery holding that position until elected major of regi- ment, August 20, 1891; First Lieutenant James D. Chandler at that time being promoted to the captaincy.

FIRST REGIMENT LIGHT ARTILLERY O. N. G .- In 1886, regi- mental relations were established with seven other batteries in different portions of the State, under the above title, and is the only Light Artillery Regiment in the State, or even in the United States, excepting those connected with the Regular Army. The

great interest in local military affairs, having, in 1877, organized the Sixth Battery, Light Artillery, now Battery F., First Regiment Light Artillery O. N. G., of which he held the position of Captain from its organization until his promotion to the position of Major of the regiment, August 20, 1891, which office he still holds.

PRESENT STATUS OF BATTERY F .- For nearly fourteen years, both as an independent organization, and in its regimental rela- tions, Battery F has maintained a high standard of military effi- ciency, and in point of drill and facility of action, is unsurpassed by any other similar body in the, State. Ever ready to aid in all public demonstrations, its occasional calls upon the public in the way of patronizing their festivals for the replenishment of their finances, are liberally responded to, though still, besides the large amount of time given to routine duty and to public and private drills, parades, encampments, etc., the members are subjected to quite heavy cash expenses, the State allowance for the care and repair of guns and other military paraphernalia, being but $200 per year while the county pays the rent of armory, only.

The present headquarters of Battery F is at Columbia Hall immediately south of the City Building, on Main street, the present outfit consisting of two three-inch bronze guns, and two three-inch rifle steel guns, with ammunition carriages, harness, saddles, etc., to match.

The present organization of the Battery (August, 1891) is as follows: Captain, James D. Chandler; surgeon, Henry M. Fisher;

BATTERY F AT THE CENTENNIAL.

In the grand military display at the centennial celebration of the inauguration of President George Washington, held in the city of New York, on April 30, 1889, Battery F elicited warm com- mendation from both the managers of the celebration, and the press of New York city, as well as of the people who witnessed its splendid tactical maneuvers and military evolutions.

GERMAN GUARDS-COMPANY BUCHTEL.

This company, organized June 15, 1883, started with a mem- bership of about twenty-five men, increasing its number to forty- five by January 1, 1884, and at present numbers sixty uniformed men. It is an independent company, composed entirely of men who were honorably discharged from the German army, part of them being in active service during the Franco-German war of 1870-71.

American citizenship is a prerequisite to admission to mem- bership in the company, which is also a beneficiary society, as well as a military organization, aiding its members in time of sickness, and their families in case of death.

The uniform of the company is that of the German Army, and was imported from Germany, imparting a very imposing appear- ance to the company when on parade. The company is armed with the Brown gun-a breech-loading needle rifle-funds for the purchase of uniforms and arms being raised by popular sub- scription, Hon. John R. Buchtel being the largest contributor, his original donation being $500, in consideration of which the name of "Company Buchtel" was unanimously adopted.

The German Guards, composed of the most highly respected and patriotic citizens of Akron, have always taken part in all the important civic and military displays in Akron, since their organ- ization, eliciting the very highest encomiums for their perfection of drill, accuracy of movement and soldierly bearing. The officers from the beginning have been as follows: Paul E. Werner,

captain; Hans Otto Beck, first lieutenant; Henry Klages, second lieutenant; sergeants, Carl Schoenduve and Gustave A. Groesel; surgeon, L. S. Ebright.

BUCHTEL COLLEGE CADETS.

In 1886, under the auspices of the Professors Charles S. Howe and Tracy L. Jeffords, and through the liberality of Hon. John R. Buchtel and Messrs. Ferd. and Adolph Schumacher, a full company, consisting entirely of college students, was organized uniformed, armed and thoroughly drilled in military tactics. This splendid company, with Alexander W. Maynes as its first captain, became not only a credit to the college, but the pride of our citizens, appearing in public on memorial days and on several festive occasions; a squad of twenty on Commencement Day, 1887, escorting President Buchtel from his house to the College, and, in his invalid chair, carrying him up three flights of stairs to the chapel, on his offer to contribute $1,000 towards the building of the Crouse gymnasium, if they would do so. By reason of changes in the faculty and among the students, the military feature not being included in the curriculum, the organization has been in a comatose condition since 1889, without any immediate promise of revivification.

AKRON'S MUSICAL ORGANIZATIONS.

From an early day Akron has been noted for the excellence of its musical organizations, both vocal and instrumental. It is not now ascertainable just when the first instrumental band was organized here, though it was certainly more than half a century ago, and to the late Henry S. Abbey, Akron's pioneer jeweler, must be awarded the honor of being its pioneer band director, also.

THE AKRON BRASS BAND .- "This band, under the lead of Mr. Abbey, led the jollification festivities on the occasion of the erec- tion of the new county of Summit, in March, 1840, and on the following Fourth of July competed in friendly rivalry with the superb band accompanying Cleveland's crack military company -then as now the "Cleveland Grays"-as guests of the Summit Guards, the BEACON in its account of the visit saying of the two bands:

On the evening of the 3rd, the Cleveland and Akron Bands gave a con- cert, at their quarters, where the elite of our village and the neighborhood did not fail to be present and enjoy the sweet and enlivening strains, made doubly so by the coolness and stillness of the evening.

A month later, August 5, 1840, at the celebration of the con- pletion of the Pennsylvania and Ohio Canal, the Akron band was very highly complimented by the many distinguished visitors from abroad, for its excellent music in leading the procession and during the after festivities of the day and evening.

In referring to a concert about to be given by the band, about this time, the BEACON editorially said:

All who can be moved by concord of sweet sounds will certainly be there. Let us all turn out, young and old, and give them a benefit. They deserve it for their perseverence in getting up a band which is a credit to our town, and should therefore be liberally encouraged by our citizens.

AKRON'S MUSICAL ORGANIZATIONS.

REORGANIZATION .- Finding that his business cares precluded his longer acting as its leader, Mr. Abbey, about 1848, turned the organization over to Mr. George Laurie, a book seller and stationer, who reorganized and somewhat enlarged the band, though Mr. Abbey contined his membership therewith for several years there- after. Mr.'Laurie, a few years later, was succeeded as leader by Mr. Horace B. Horton, inventor of the Melopean, then being quite largely manufactured by himself and the late Bradbury T. Blod- gett, the business being continued, in later years, by Ira Rose, James F. Scott, Horton Wright, John W. Baker and others.

CUTTER'S QUADRILLE BAND .- In the meantime, about 1845, Mr. Morrill T. Cutter, Akron's veteran shoe merchant, had organized a Quadrille Band, of from six to ten members, which for fifteen years was in almost constant demand, in furnishing music for quadrille and other social parties, festivals, etc., in Akron and neighboring villages and towns, and attained more than a local reputation, as being one of the best equipped and most thor- oughly trained quadrille bands in Northern Ohio.

KEATING'S ORCHESTRA .- John Keating, a mnost skillful musi- cian, a few years later became the leader of an orchestra that for a number of years, and until failing health compelled Mr. Keating's relinquishment of the leadership thereof, was justly the delight of terpsichorean circles.

MARBLE'S BRASS BAND .- About 1860, Prof. Dustin Marble, who had settled in Akron for the purpose of giving musical instruc- tion and organizing bands, orchestras, etc., became the leader of the Akron band, and from thenceforth for nearly twenty years, though many changes of membership occurred, Marble's band sustained almost a National reputation, as one of the best musical organizations in the country, the Professor, though severing his. connection with the band several years ago, still giving musical instruction whenever his services are called into requisition.

BABCOCK'S BAND .- Next in order comes Babcock's Band, organized in the middle sixties under the leadership of Prof. Wor- den Babcock, and which had a highly prosperous career of some ten years. After an absence of three or four years, returning to Akron Mr. Babcock reorganized his band about 1881, which, in 1883, enlisted under the militia laws of the State, as a part of tlie Ohio National Guard, under the legal title of the

EIGHTH REGIMENT BAND .- Mr. Babcock was succeeded the same year in the leadership by Prof. Charles E. York, a very competent musician, who continued as its · conductor until his removal from the city, in the spring of 1888, when Mr. William R. Palmer was elected as its leader.

The Eighth Regiment Band has at present 29 names upon its muster roll, the organization receiving the same allowance from the State, and being subject to the same laws, and entitled to the same benefits as other companies and members of the Ohio National Guard, its present officers and members being as follows: William R. Palmer, leader; Richard Lewis, drum major; S. Sam Miller, quartermaster; George Davis, Grant Kirn, Samuel E. Dice and Charles A. Wilhelm, sergeants; Alphonso Kimpflin, president; Edmund Hartz, vice president; George G. Smith, secretary; Grant Kirn, treasurer; George Davis, Grant Kirn and Charles A. Wilhelm,

trustees; Charles Austgen, Marshall Caine, James Flower, August E. Freund, John C. Funk, Joseph Goldsmith, Jacob Hartz, John Hartz, Leroy Henry, John Keatz, Charles W. Lantz, Sidney Morey, Bruce Miller, Cyrus L. Manderbach, Frank Nolte, Joseph Palmer, Adam Rank, William H. Shoke, William Worth- ington, Herbert A. Zimmerman.

THE GREAT WESTERN BAND .- TWENTY-FIVE MEN .- For many years a very proficient and popular organization, was con- solidated with the Eighth Regiment Band in September, 1891, with George L. Humphrey, as band master and William R. Palmer as his assistant, thus proving one of the strongest musical bodies in Ohio or elsewhere.

Other musical organizations of the city, are now (September 1891), briefly as follows:

THE TURNER BAND, 25 men, Levi Pinn, drum major; John Kolla, leader; Frank Voke, president; Frank Cox, treasurer and business manager; THE METROPOLITAN BAND 10 to 12 men, Sidney Morey, director; Andrew Fritz, leader; SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA, five to twenty men, George L. Humphrey, leader; NORTH HILL BAND, 18 men, Charles W. Lantz, leader and director; LANTZ'S ORCHESTRA, five to fourteen men, Charles W. Lantz, leader; MUSTILL'S ORCHES- TRA, five to ten men, Sidney Morey, director; ITALIAN ORCHESTRA, five to eight men, Hiram L. Morey, leader; EDWARDS' ORCHESTRA, five to eight William H. Brady, leader; Thomas Edwards, prompter; ROMAN ORCHESTRA, two to six men, Joseph A. Rivello, leader.

ANCIENT AKRON.

T "HE origin and early history of Akron, its growth, successes, reverses, etc., were pretty fully given in the earlier chapters of this work. Though from the beginning it had fully maintained its standing as one of the most enterprising and prosperous inland villages in Ohio, its population in 1860, as shown by the census of that year, was only 3,520 souls.

WHAT HORACE GREELEY SAID OF Us .- In 1843, after a personal visit to Akron, Horace Greeley, in publishing a description of the town in the New York Tribune said: "This place, with a popu- lation of 2,500, has five woolen factories, an extensive blast furnace, a machine shop, a card manufactory, nine dry goods stores and about as many other stores, two weekly newspapers, four large flouring mills, a court house, four churches and two more being erected. The present water-power, including the surplus water of sixteen locks on two canals, is adequate to impelling sixty-two runs of stones. Besides this, there is considerable water-power and manufacturing at the small village of Middlebury, only a mile and a half east, on the canal, and destined to form a portion of the same city."

OTHER EARLY STATISTICS .- Four years later, Howe's History of Ohio says of Akron: "Its population in 1827 was about 600 [less than 400 in fact]; in 1840, the number of inhabitants was 1,664, since which time it is estimated to have doubled. It has eight churches, twenty stores, ten groceries, four drug stores, two book stores, four woolen factories, two blast furnaces, three cupola furnaces, one carding machine manufactory, five flouring mills, one insurance company, one bank, two newspaper offices, and a great variety of mechanical establishments."

During the next ten years, there were inany changes-an increase in some departments and a falling off in others-the increase in population being quite rapid, the census of 1850 plac- ing it at 3,254, a gain of nearly one hundred per cent. in the ten years, the gain from 1850 to 1860 being but 266, an increase of a fraction less than eight per cent., the census of that year placing it at 3,520.

MODERN AKRON.

But, in the early sixties, "a change came o'er the spirit of our dreams." Increased railroad facilities, and the increased activity given to commerce, manufactures, agriculture, etc., by the War, brought a decided "boom" to Akron, the results and magnitude of which are briefly attempted below:

Akron remained an incorporated town, or village, until Janu- ary, 1865, an enumeration taken by Recorder Henry Ward Inger- soll, reported on the 14th day of December, 1864, showing the number of inhabitants of the village to have been 5,066, an increase of 1,546 in four years. By resolution of the Council, adopted December 25th, 1864, the State officials were requested to advance the village to a city of the second class, which was accordingly done by Governor John Brough, Secretary of State William Henry Smith and Auditor of State James N. Goodman, January 21, 1865.

CITY ORGANIZATION .- The newly constituted City of Akron was divided into three wards, the first election on Monday, April 3, 1865, resulting in the choice of James Mathews as Mayor, and the following councilmen: First ward, Charles W. Bonstedt, one year, and George W. Crouse, two years; Second ward, John E. Bell, one year, and Henry W. Howe, two years; Third ward, J. Park Alexander, one year, Lewis Miller, two years; Lewis Miller, on organization, being elected president of the Council, and Jere- iniah A. Long, clerk. One-half of the councilmen being elected for one year only, at the election in April, 1866, John J. Wagoner succeeded Mr. Bonstedt in the First ward, Joshua H. Collins, Mr. Bell in the Second, and George Sechrist, Mr. Alexander in the Third.

HORACE GREELEY A TRUE PROPHET .- September 6, 1865, by action of county commissioners, the territory lying north of Exchange street, between the original east line of the corporation (about on the present line of Fir street) and the then west line of Middlebury township (at the junction of East Market and Middle- bury streets) was duly annexed to the city of Akron.

By the authority of an ordinance passed by the council of the village of Middlebury, August 24, 1871, and a like ordinance passed by the city council of Akron, February 5, 1872, the question of annexation was submitted to the legal voters of the two corpo- rations, on the first Monday of April, 1872, resulting as follows: Akron, for annexation, 1,042; against, 6. Middlebury for, 140; against, 26. By resolution of each council respectively, commissioners were appointed to arrange the terms of annexation as follows: Akron, George W. Crouse, William T. Allen, and David L. King: Middlebury, Mendal Jewett, Frank Adams, and George F. Kent.

Terms mutually satisfactory to the joint commission being agreed to, ordinances of approval were duly passed by Middlebury, April 19, and by Akron, April 24, 1872, and the annexation was. complete. May 27, 1872, the Middlebury accession was designated, by ordinance, as the Sixth ward -- wards Four and Five having been created by ordinance passed March 9, 1871.

SUBSEQUENT ACCESSIONS .- By ordinance passed October 28, 1872, a small section of territory lying south of East Exchange street, and between the two original corporations of Akron and Middle- bury was formally annexed to the city.

450

AKRON AND SUMMIT COUNTY.

By an ordinance passed February 18, 1882, the annexation of certain portions of Portage and Tallmadge townships, known as the "Old Forge" district, was duly authorized, which territory, on the consummation of the annexation proceedings was, by ordi- nance passed March 1, 1886, attached to the Sixth ward.

AKRON'S WATER SUPPLY.

By ordinance passed March 15, 1886, certain described lands in Coventry township, upon the south, embracing 222.62 acres, and certain described lands in Portage township, upon the north and west, embracing 467.80 acres, were also, by subsequent proceed- ings, duly annexed, and are now embraced within the corporate limits of the city of Akron,

AKRON'S PRESENT POPULATION. -By the official census for 1890, the population of the city of Akron is as follows; First ward, 3,793; Second ward, 3,531; Third ward, 5,045; Fourth ward, 6,716; Fifth ward, 5,194; Sixth ward, 3,322; total, 27,601. This, with the dense suburban population on the immediate unannexed ter- ritory, together with our rapidly increasing inside population BENEDICT OF COCHI makes us, in this year of grace, Akron City Building, South Main and Quarry Street. 1891, a city of considerable over 30,000 inhabitants. The popula- tion of Portage township, exclusive of Akron, in 1840 was 2,382; in 1880, after annexation of sundry portions of its territory to the city, as stated, 2,580, the census of 1890 showing a total of 2,659.

AKRON'S WATER SUPPLY .- Though eminently a water town- with the never-failing living waters of Summit Lake, a short dis- tance south of the city limits, and the pellucid Little Cuyahoga river traversing its entire breadth from east to west, upon the north and though a large number of springs of the very purest water were found gushing spontaneously from its innumerable hills and bluffs, Akron cannot be said to have been well-watered until a comparatively recent date.

The first attempt at "water works," for any portion of the town, was by Dr. Eliakim Crosby, in 1836, by bringing the waters of a large spring from the foot of Perkins' hill, in a continuous cement pipe, to his own house, where the Catholic parsonage now stands, with branches running to the houses of some of his near-by West Hill neighbors. The scheme worked well for a year or two, when it was found that an accumulation of fungus vegetation had filled the pipe its entire length, and the scheme had to be abandoned.
