settlers, December 23, 1869. They have three children - Ellen, born February 6, 1871 ; Perkins W., born May 2, 1874 ; Clayton J., born August 4, 1877. George C. was postmaster at Boston from 1875 to 1885.

"JOHNNY CAKE" LOCK .- Near the south line of the township is quite a hamlet known for many years by the above "toothsome" and "gustatory" appellation, from these alleged circumstances: A short distance above the lock, at this point, Furnace Run, an incon- siderable stream, ordinarily, empties into the canal, as a feeder. In the spring of 1828, during a heavy freshet, so much sand was washed into the bed of the canal as to entirely impede navigation for several days. This brought together a number of boats from both above and below, with not only their crews but a consider- able number of passengers to be subsisted, pending the making of the necessary repairs. Commissary supplies running short on " shipboard," and the inhabitants of the vicinity being sparse and meagerly supplied with provisions, corn meal-"Johnny-cake timber"-soon became the only edible obtainable, and Johnny Cake it was, morning, noon and night, until the blockade was raised, and Johnny Cake Lock it has been ever since, though for a number of years it was sought to change it to "Unionville," and since the advent of the Valley Railway, a station and a post- office have been established there under the official name of "Everett."

LINE BOAT AND PACKET NAVIGATION .- Previous to the advent of railroads, in addition to the transportation of merchandise and produce, canal passenger travel was considered the very acme of speed, comfort and convenience. For this purpose quite large bow cabins were fitted up in good style, with sleeping and table accom- modations for from 12 to 20 passengers, with corresponding culi- nary accommodations at the stern; the midships, only, being devoted to freight. Instead of every boat owner going upon his own hook, as now, regular freight and passenger lines were estab- lished, with stations at convenient points for the care and exchange of horses, no horses being carried upon any boat except such as were then called scows. One of the most important of these stations was Johnny Cake Lock, the largest land owner of the vicinity, the late Alanson Swan, erecting commodious stables, a grocery store and quite an extensive warehouse, so that for many years "Johnny Cake" was regarded as quite a business emporiuui; especially during the packet-boat era from about 1837 to 1852.

MR. HERMON BRONSON.

MRS. HERMON BRONSON.

MR. AND MRS. HERMON BRONSON,-were natives of Waterbury, Conn .. the former born December 17, 1774, the latter (Mary Hickox) December 17, 1777; were married in Waterbury, December 18, 1795; moved to Ohio in 1801, settling in Cleveland, then a very small hamlet, Mr. B. working at the carpenter's trade ; in 1812, he enlisted in the army, she returning to Waterbury on horseback, with her four children, the youngest a babe. At the close of the war they removed to Lorain county and engaged in farming, in 1821 returning to Cleveland, and three years later, in 1824, locating at Peninsula, Boston township. Here Mr. Bronson became a large land owner, and built, and for many years successfully conducted the pioneer saw and grist mills at that place, besides liberally promoting the various other industrial and business enterprises of the village. Their children were-Julia, afterwards Mrs. Pope ; Hannah, afterwards Mrs. White; Rhoda, afterwards Mrs. Payne, and later Mrs. Jacob Barnhart; and Hiram Volney, whose portrait and biog- raphy will be found on another page. Mr. and Mrs. Bronson were both liberal and public spirited, he having filled many local positions of trust and honor; in 1835, organizing a Protestant Episcopal Church, building at his own expense, a comfortable house of worship (still standing), dedicated by Bishop McIlvaine, in 1839, as "Bethel Episcopal Church," the building being remodeled in 1889, by his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Ruth Ranney Bronson, and its name changed by decree of courts to "Bronson Memorial Church." Mr. Bronson died December 18, 1853, aged 79 years and one day ; Mrs. B. dying February 18, 1858, aged 80 years, 2 months and 1 day.

BOSTON'S PIONEER SETTLERS.

EARLY SETTLEMENT, PIONEERS, ETC .- Boston township was not settled as early as Hudson, and perhaps two or three other town- ships of Summit county. The first actual settler is supposed to have been Alfred Wolcott, Sr., the father of the late Hon. Alfred Wolcott, ex-representative of Summit county in the State Legis- lature. Mr. Wolcott was a native of Connecticut and had early emigrated to Trumbull county. Being a practical surveyor, he was sent by General Simon Perkins and others to survey the lands owned by them, in what afterwards came to be known as Boston township. This was probably in 1805, as in the early Spring of 1806, having in the meantime been married to Miss Hannah Craig, of Youngstown, he erected a log cabin on the tract of 115 acres of land, which he had selected in the northeast part of the township, and being a part of the same farm lately occupied by his son, Hon. Alfred Wolcott. Mr. Wolcott's first selection was in the valley, where Mr. George C. Stanford now lives, a short distance north of the village of Boston, but was given up, at the instance of his young wife, on account of the supposed unhealthiness of that location. Two other men, Samuel Ewart and John Teale, accom- panied Wolcott to the township, but of whose subsequent history little is now known, except that Ewart died in Sandusky in 1815.

FON. ALFRED WOLCOTT,-8011 of Boston's pioneer settler, Al- fred Wolcott, Sr .; born in Boston, January 28, 1812; educated in district schools. His father dying in 1835, April 18, 1836, Mr. Wolcott was mar- ried to Miss Mary Scovill, who was born in Connecticut, in 1821; pur- chasing a farm in Northfield, soon afterwards exchanging with his brother for the old homestead in Boston, which, having greatly en- larged and improved,he continuously occupied until his death, March 17. 1891, aged 79 years, 1 month and 19 days. In 1869 Mr. Wolcott was elected, on the Republican ticket, to the State Legislature, serving two years; also served as assessor and in many other positions of trust and honor in his township. Mr. and Mrs. Wolcott were the parents of six children-Hon. Simon Perkins Wol- cott, a graduate of Western Reserve College, late senator for Summit and Portage counties, now practic- ing law in Kent; John M. Wolcott, furniture manufacturer in Grand Rapids, Mich .; Anna M., wife of Rev. Lem. B. Bissell, Congregational preacher in Monroe, Mich .; Alfred Wolcott, Jr., graduate of Western

HON. ALFRED WOLCOTT.

Reserve College, now practicing law in Grand Rapids, Mich .; Charles Fremont, fariner on the old home- stead; Andrew A., enlisted in Con1- pany D, 29th. O. V. I., died at Alex- andria, Va., September 4, 1862.

About simultaneously with the advent of Wolcott, 1806, came James Stanford, Adam and William Vance and Abner Robinson, the former settling upon the tract in the valley, which had been rejected by Wolcott as above stated, and which has proved to be one of the most fertile farms, as well as one of the most salubrious locations in the township; for it does not necessarily follow that

high lands are always healthy and low lands always unhealthy ; miasmatic vapors often rising above the habitations in the river valley and invading those of the higher table lands on either side.

ORGANIZATION, NAME, ETC .- From this time on, the settlement of the neighborhood was quite rapid, the three present townships of Boston, Richfield and Northfield being one, so that at the first election of township officers, held by order of the county commis- sioners of Portage county, January 15, 1811, at the house of Tim- othy Bishop, there were about 30 voters present. There is some discrepancy of opinion as to the naming of the township, Mrs. Eli Gaylord, of Stow, daughter of Alfred Wolcott, Sr., claiming that it was named by her father, when making the survey, as above stated, while other accounts show that about 1807 Messrs. Wolcott, Stanford, Ewart, Teale, and a few others, held a consultation upon the subject, at which Mr. Wolcott suggested the name of Wolcotts- burg, and Mr. Ewart that of Ewartsville, neither of which cogno- mens found favor with the majority, and that finally Mr. Stanford proposed the name of Boston, which was unanimously adopted.

HIRAM VOLNEY BRONSON,-

S011 of Hermon and Mary (Hickox) Bronson, was born in Cleve- land, December 12, 1811; removing with parents to Peninsula, in 1824 ; educated in schools of vicinity and aided his father in ,conducting his large farming and milling interests in and about Peninsula. Mr. Bronson was active in politics, first as a Whig and later as a Republican, served several years as justice of the peace, was Peninsula's first postmaster, serving eight years, was also Penin- sula's first mayor, and during the War of the Rebellion was Deputy U.

S. Internal Revenue Assessor. Thoroughly posted in affairs, Mr. Bronson was authority in political and historical matters, local, state and national. June 7, 1835, lie was married to Miss Ruth L. Ranney, a native of Boston township, daughter of Comfort Ranney, one of the earli- est pioneer settlers of that vicinity,

who bore three children-Lucy, born

May 1, 1838, now Mrs. P. H. Dudley, of New York City ; Emily, born May 7, 1843, now Mrs. Col. A. L. Conger, of Akron, and Hermon, born August 15,

HIRAM VOLNEY BRONSON.

1843, now residing in Cleveland. Mr. Bronson died November 1, 1881, aged 69 years, 10 months and 19 days. Mrs. Bronson still survives.

This initial election was only a temporary affair, the officers elected holding only till the regular election on the first Monday of the ensuing April. Alfred Wolcott and Moses Cunningham were chosen as justices of the peace; William Beers, clerk; Aaron Miller, Andrew Johnson and Timothy Bishop, trustees; Jonathan Iddings and Isaac Bacon, overseers of the poor; Launcelot Mays, treasurer, and James Jordan, constable.

At the April election the justices, trustees, clerk, overseers of the poor and constable previously chosen, were re-elected, John Duncan being substituted for Launcelot Mays as treasurer, and

POPULATION, GROWTH, ETC.

additional offices filled as follows: Alfred Wolcott and James Stan- ford, fence viewers; Moses Cunningham and William Beers, list- ers; Aaron Miller, John Cunningham and James Stanford, super- visors, and Robert Donaldson as an additional constable.

It will thus be seen that four of the parties above named were elected to two positions each, viz: Alfred Wolcott, justice of the peace and fence viewer; Moses Cunningham, justice of the peace and lister; William Beers, clerk and lister; Aaron Miller, trustee and supervisor; a proceeding that, even if lawful, would hardly be sanctioned, in the general scramble for office in these latter days.

FRASTUS JACKSON,-born Sep- tember 16, 1810, in the Province of Upper Canada, 50 miles west of Kingston, removing with parents, in infancy, to Western New York; educated in common schools; minor- ity passed on farm; in Winter of 1831, '32 taught school; in Spring of 1832 came West, clerking one Summer in store at Boston Village; in the Fall returned to Western New York and engaged in teaching; in 1837, again came to Boston; clerked in grocery at the "Lock" through the Summer and taught school the first Winter; in Spring of 1838 went into grocery busi- ness for himself, continuing four years; in 1842, started a furnace, which he ran two years; in 1844, in · company with Mr. John Conger, en- gaged in brick making, supplying brick for the Empire House, and many of the earlier business blocks and private residences of Akron. Mr. Conger dying November 30, 1853, Mr. Jackson continued the business for two years in partnership with the two sons of Mr. Conger, when he withdrew and has since been suc- cessfully engaged in farming, having, in June, 1854, married the widow of his former partner, Mrs. Hannah (Beals) Conger, who was born in Goshen, Mass., in 1805. In

politics an early Whig, and later an ardent Republican, besides serving as township clerk five years, justice of the peace twelve years, and treas- urer several years, Mr. Jackson was postmaster of Boston from 1849 to 1853, and postmaster of Peninsula from 1877 to 1885.

PIONEER INCIDENT AND EXPERIENCE .- The settlement of the township of Boston, proper, after its separation from Northfield and Riclifield, though not remarkably rapid, was steady, so that on the organization of Summit county, in 1840, it numbered, as shown by the census of that year, 845 souls, the census of 1880 giving the population at 1,225, an increase of a trifle over 50 per cent. in 40 years, the census of 1890 showing a slight increase, the total population of the township (including Peninsula, 562), being 1,273, a far better showing than the majority of the townships of the county. The first male child born in the township was Andrew J., son of James Stanford, born March 27, 1806; the first female child being the daughter of Alfred Wolcott, Melinda, born April 14, 1807. The first marriage in the township, on the 29th of July, 1812, was William Carter to Elizabeth Mays; the first one to die in the township being Mary Ann Post, daughter of Henry Post, Sr., June 9, 1808. .

AKRON AND SUMMIT COUNTY.

The township is rife with traditions of pioneer incidents and adventures with Indians and wild beasts, both serious and com- ical, too numerous and voluminous to be fully embodied in this work. Boston and vicinity was, however, previous to the advent of the whites, a sort of Indian paradise: the bottom lands being planted to orchards, corn, etc., the hills and gullies abounding in all kinds of game, and the river and smaller streams well stocked with an almost infinite variety of fish. Here, also, were found, by the early white settlers, the remains of Indian villages, dwellings, forts, mounds, burial places, altars, idols, etc .; some of which are still visible, while innumerable relics of Indian life, labor and sport, have been gathered up by their pale-faced successors to the aboriginal domain.

EWIS M. Janes,-born in Hart- L ford, Conn., Feb. 6, 1798, in early manhood engaged in merchandising in Central New York and Montreal, Canada; in the early thirties moved to York, Medina County, Ohio, and about 1834 to Peninsula, where lie engaged in the lumber trade. In 1844, Mr. Janes was elected sheriff of Summit county, which office he ably filled two full terms, afterwards offi- ciating as deputy for several of his successors. In 1863, Mr. Janes was elected a justice of the peace for Portage township, acceptably filling that position until his death by drowning, on the occasion of the sinking of the propeller Pewabic, on which he and his son Edward P. were passengers, by the steamer Meteor upon Lake Huron, on the night of August 9, 1865. Mrs. Janes, whose maiden name was Abby Phil- lips Allen, was an invalid for many years, her death occurring in Akron, October 23, 1847, at the age of 50 years and 15 days. They were the parents of eight children-Thomas Mumford, Martha Cornelia, Frances Henrietta, Mary Mumford (wife of Rev. Abra-

BOSTON'S MILITARY PROWESS.

Of Boston's early inhabitants several were well known to have participated in the Revolutionary War of 1776 to 1783, but unfor- tunately their names and records are not now available, excepting in the case of Mr. Henry Brown, who served during the entire seven years' struggle, dying in Boston, October 17, 1837, in the 104th year of his age, and Mr. Simeon Tupper, 74, reported as a pensioner by the census of 1840. In the War of 1812, also, Boston took a lively interest, furnishing a number of soldiers for the pro- tection of the frontier, but whose names are not now ascertain- able. In the scrimmage with Mexico, in 1846-48, Boston does not seem to have worked up any special enthusiasm, the names of George Paige, wounded at Churubusco, William Mory, who died in the service, Charles Parker and Frank Brannan, only having been handed down as soldiers in that war.

BOSTON'S MILITARY STATUS.

But in the War of the Rebellion Boston was "up and fully dressed." Party lines, which had theretofore been tightly drawn- with the Democratic party generally ahead-were obliterated, and the members of that party vied with their Republican neighbors in responding to the several calls for troops during the existence of that bloody struggle, as the complete roster given below abun- dantly demonstrates:

FDMUND H. COLE,-Born in Niagara County, N. Y., in 1824; removed with parents to Ohio in 1832, settling in Northampton town- ship (near Hawkins' Bridge); edu- cated in district schools; afterwards engaging in teaching, and later in buying and shipping stock; in 1856 associated himself with Frederick and Thomas Wood, under the firm name of Wood, Cole & Co., in the mercantile business at Peninsula ; in 1863 bought out his partners, suc- cessfully continuing the business until his death, Jan. 11, 1876; was married November 15, 1848, to Miss Ann L. Boies, of Peninsula, who bore him four children-Arthur M. and Herbert W., whose portraits and biographies appear elsewhere; Nellie, now wife of Dr. William Boers . tler, of Peninsula, and Fred. Hay- den, now a member of the Akron Sil- ver Plate Company. Enterprising and energetic, Mr. Cole took a just pride in forwarding the best interests of his village and county-agricul- tural, educational, etc .- for several years acting as marshal of the County Fair, and during the war giving freely of his time and money

BOSTON'S INDUSTRIES .- In addition to the quite extensive flour and lumber mills at Boston Village, and the two saw mills and flour mill at Peninsula, and similar mills in other parts of the township, a large variety of other manufactures, broom handles, cheese boxes, etc., have from time to time been carried on, while in the earlier and palmy days of the canal, both at Boston Vil- lage, Peninsula, and one or two other points, large boat yards and dry docks for building and repairing boats were operated, giving employment to a large number of men; but at present nothing whatever is done in that line at the points named.
