mechanic in Akron; Almira, now Mrs. Henry Hitchcock, of Cuyahoga Falls; Louisa H. (Mrs. H. C. Lock- wood), died in 1865; Wilbur Fisk, inventor and manufacturer, Cuya- hoga Falls ; Albert E., late of Akron, deceased. "Father Holloway" died August 22, 1878, aged 82 years and 21 days, the wife of his youth, and the mother of his children, having passed away March 13, 1863, at the age of 62 years.

ORIGINAL TEMPERANCE CRUSADERS.

To the good women of Cuyahoga Falls is due the credit of being the original Anti-Whisky Crusaders-not, indeed, with the spiritual weapons employed in later years, by Mother Stuart and her contemporaries-prayer and praise-but with such carnal weapons as axes, hatchets, hammers, etc., wielded by their own good right arms.

The Washingtonian reformation of the early and middle forties, followed by the efficient operations of the Sons of Temperance for several years, made Cuyahoga Falls, Akron and many other vil- lages on the Western Reserve, practical prohibition towns. In the early and middle fifties, however, the encroachments of the beer and whisky traffic were such as to produce serious alarm among the good women of Cuyahoga Falls for the safety of their husbands, sons and brothers, and a vigorous revival of the temper- ance cause was inaugurated. Committees were appointed to visit the various dealers and plead with them to abandon the traffic, but with only partial success.

AN ARMY WITH BANNERS .- It was at length determined to resort to sterner measures than "soft persuasion and mild elo- quence," and on Saturday morning, March 6, 1858, a large volun- teer force of women, in solid phalanx, armed with hammers,

hatchets, axes, etc., started out to make an assault upon King Alcohol, in his intrenchments. The first place visited was the room of Captain Isaac Lewis, over the postoffice. On reaching the top of the stairs, finding the door locked against them, they battered it down and proceeded to demolish sundry jugs, bottles, etc., removing a barrel of ale to the street below and emptying its foaming contents into the gutter. Next the grocery and liquor store of Joshua L'Hommedieu, on the lower floor of the same building, was invested. Having heard of the intended raid, "Josh" had removed his liquors from the cellar to a smoke-house in the rear. But the crusaders were equal to the emergency, and soon whisky, Otard brandy, and other liquors, were flowing in miniature torrents towards the Cuyahoga river.

COURTEOUS RECEPTION .- The next point visited was the place of Mr. John Tifft, who received his callers with great courtesy, placing before them a collation of doughnuts, pies, etc., pleasantly turning over to them all the liquors he had left-part of a barrel of beer-which they also poured into the street gutter. At Rock- well's place nothing was found. Jones' variety store on the south side of Broad street, near the covered bridge, had been "cleaned and garnished " for their reception, by the removal of all liquors to the rear of his store and covering them with rubbish. But the women were too keen-scented and sharp-sighted for the success of this ruse, and Jones' two barrels of whisky, and other liquors were soon mixing with the pellucid waters of the Cuyahoga. The saloon of " Hen" Lindsey, across the way, was next visited, a few bottles only-said to have been filled with water-being demolished, his main stock in trade having been previously "spirited" away.

READING THE RIOT ACT .- At the American House, the proprie- tor refused to give his visitors access to his liquor cellar and they became so demonstrative that Justice Charles W. Wetmore was called in to read the Riot Act, and admonish them to " disperse and depart to their several homes and lawful employments." But they didn't disperse " worth a cent," and were proceeding to batter down the cellar door, when an armistice was brought about by the land- lord pledging himself not to furnish any more liquors to the people of the town.

The last place visited was Heath's drug store, the door of which was barred against them, and forcible entrance prevented, by sim- ilar assurances from the proprietors, as those made by the landlord of the American, though it was stated that such arrangements had been made, that had entrance to the store been effected, the dis- charge of certain chemicals would have made the visit anything but agreeable.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS INSTITUTED .- Though these proceedings were irregular and illegal in their nature, it is but just to say that the great majority of the law-abiding people of the village sympa- thized in the movement, the more so because of the proneness of dealers themselves to disregard the laws regulating the traffic, by furnishing liquors to minors and otherwise. Among the ladies participating in the crusade was Mrs. Elizabeth W. Wait, wife of Mr. George A. Wait, a dealer in millinery and fancy goods. Against Mr. and Mrs. Wait, Mr. Joshua L'Hommedieu brought suit before Justice Charles W. Wetmore for one hundred dollars damages for the destruction of one barrel of brandy, the justice giving him a

MUSICAL, FRATERNAL, ETC.

judgment for $60. The defendants appealed the case to the Court of Common Pleas, E. N. Sill and J. T. Hollaway going upon the appeal bond. The trial of the case was postponed, from time to time, until June, 1859, when it was marked "Settled at Plaintiff's costs," said costs being collected from "Josh" on execution some two or three months later, by the writer, then serving his second term as sheriff.

MUSICAL, SOCIAL, FRATERNAL, AND OTHERWISE .- In society and social matters, Cuyahoga Falls has always been fully abreast with the most intelligent and refined of her Western Reserve contem- poraries, the large number of her church and benevolent associa- tions, and the various civic and beneficial organizations that have existed, from time to time, indicating the fraternal instincts of her people. Ever appreciative of good music, she has produced several vocalists and pianists of more than local reputation, while her general instrumental talent has always been of a high order.

The original Cuyahoga Falls Band, organized in 1834, was one of the best of its class in Northern Ohio. The original members of this band were: Henry W. Bill, Elisha N. Sill, Charles W. Wetmore, Theodore R. Butler, Charles C. Bronson, Cyrus C. and Livy L. Wilcox, John H. Brainard, Reuben Upson, Lyman Sperry, Horace Y. Beebe, Chas Thornburg, and Israel James, Mr. Bill being the leader. This band, too, had more than a local repute, being called to Cleveland to aid in celebrating the 4th of July, in 1835, going from and returning to Old Portage by packet on the Ohio Canal. The band also participated in the celebration of the opening of the Pennsylvania and Ohio Canal, in 1840, and about that time made an excursion to Massillon, where they gave a concert which was largely attended and highly appreciated by the music- loving denizens of that lively town. Mr. Bill and Mr. Bronson retained their musical skill and ardor to the end of their long lives, as attendants upon the annual meetings of the Portage-Summit Pioneer Association, at Kent, who have listened so delightedly to the old-time music of the pioneer band, can testify.

In 1858, a most excellent band organization was effected, under the leadership of Mr. Ethelbert Sill, and was for many years known as "Sill's Band." The band, which had a continuous exist- ence, under different leaders, for nearly thirty years, was reorganized in 1885, under the name of the Cuyahoga Falls Brass Band, with Mr. James Brown as leader, being in all respects a first-class organization.

Anti-slavery, missionary, temperance and other reformatory movements have in their "day and generation" received due atten- tion from the good people of Cuyahoga Falls, while all of the mod- ern civic and beneficiary orders and associations, are fully repre- sented among her people and may be briefly enumerated thus:

SUMMER PLEASURE RESORT.

For the past twenty-five years, Cuyahoga Falls and vicinity, has been one of the best known pleasure resorts in Northern Ohio. The river, with its deep gorges, its rumbling water-falls, its leaping cascades, its over-hanging cliffs, its caves and grottos, its shady groves, its variegated shrubbery and picturesque views, has ever been a source of delight to lovers of the beautiful in nature, both savage and civilized.

View from lower dam, in the Glens, at the Falls of the Cuyahoga.

As being more ready of access, from the surrounding heights, the "Old Maid's Kitchen," a large open cave in the north bank of the river, overlooking the "Big Falls," a mile or so below the village, has for a third of a century been the resort for pleasure seekers, quite an extensive hotel having fur- nished refreshments and, danc- ing facilities to visiting parties for many years past.

Later, "Gaylord's Grove," over- looking the river, on the west, opposite the "Old Village," fitted up with appropriate buildings, tables, swings, etc., with a large number of row boats, and for some years a handsome little steamer, with a sailing range of about one mile between Cuya- hoga and Munroe Falls, has been liberally patronized by Sabbath school and other picnic parties for many years.

Still later, a large amount of money has been expended at what is denominated "High Bridge Glens," at the head of the gorge, in the south part of the village, in the construction of stairs, suspension bridges, walks, etc., and in the erection of pavilions, parlors, refreshment rooms, dancing halls, skating rinks, roller coasters, etc., the stroll through the gorge, a hundred feet below the surrounding surface, along the far-famed "Chuckery" race, with the tempestuous river roaring and foaming fifty feet below, on a hot Summer day, being invigorating in the extreme.

And, too, at Silver Lake, a mile to the northward, as described in another chapter, thousands of people, daily, during the heated term, congregate to enjoy the delightful shade of the grove, the splendid sailing upon the lake, both by steamer and skiff, the. invigorating bath, and the general physical and social good cheer, which there and thereabouts abounds.

To these various resorts come parties from near and far, both in carriages and on regular and special trains, from Akron, Cleve- land, Canton, and other points, even as far south as Columbus, and Cuyahoga Falls will, doubtless, for many years to come, maintain her standing as one of the most picturesque and popular pleasure resorts in Northeastern Ohio.

CUYAHOGA FALLS NEWSPAPERS.

In the Summer of 1833, Judge Stow made an arrangement with Horace Canfield and Timothy Phelps Spencer, a couple of enterprising young printers of Hartford, Conn., to remove to Ohio, and start a newspaper and job printing office at Cuyahoga Falls. Shipping their outfit in the early Autumn, via the Connecticut river and Long Island Sound, to New York, thence via the Hudson river to Albany; and thence via the Erie Canal, Lake Erie and Ohio Canal to "Boothsport" (Old Portage), the young printers started by stage to Albany, and thence via the last named water- ways to Ohio, reaching Cuyahoga Falls several weeks in advance of their press and types. The intervening time was spent in fit- ting up their office in a one-story building on the north side of Broad street (still standing), east of Front, and in soliciting sub- scribers and advertising for the "Cuyahoga Falls Witness.",

In their prospectus, after premising that the Witness would be devoted to "agriculture, manufactures, commerce, the arts and sciences, news, politics, public morals, history, biography and other objects of general utility," the publishers say:

A section of country combining such great advantages as are possessed by this vicinity, must present a strong inducement for the settlement of a numerous and industrious population. As a means of diffusing correct information, enlightening public sentiment, and increasing the prosperity and happiness of the community, nothing as yet has been found more effi- cient, or more cheaply obtained, than the circulation of periodical newspapers.

Before issuing the initial number, however, on consultation with prominent business men, the name of the paper was changed to " The Ohio Review."

Volume 1, number 1, bears the date of November 30, 1833. It is a 24-column folio, the columns being 19 inches in length and about two "ems" wider measure than the present columns of the daily and weekly BEACON. Its opening editorial occupies nearly a column and a half, in setting forth the principles by which it was to be governed, but which cannot be repeated here.

Besides nearly two columns of local business advertisements, there is an editorial setting forth the advantages-manufacturing and otherwise-of Cuyahoga Falls; the report of a meeting at Warren, favoring the construction of the "Cross Cut," or Pennsyl- vania and Ohio Canal, and a communication from E. N. Sill, Esq., on the recent celebrated meteoric shower on the night of Novem- ber 13, 1833.

SUSPENSION OF THE "REVIEW."-The paper seems to have run along smoothly enough through the first year, and to have entered upon its second volume, without any indications of the financial distress incident to very many of the newspaper ventures in the West, at that early day; having about six columns of advertise- ments, and opening the new volume with a cheerful editorial view of the situation for the village and for itself.

NEWSPAPER MATTERS.

Yet, notwithstanding its cheerful words, the next issue of the Review, under Messrs. Canfield & Spencer, dated December 12, 1834, was the last, the cause for the suspension not being now apparent, those gentlemen at once going to Cleveland, Mr. Can- field soon afterwards removing to Medina, and, in 1842, to Akron, where he died December 9, 1853, Mr. Spencer remaining in Cleve- land until his quite recent decease in that city.

The printing material remaining in Cuyahoga Falls, in June, 1835, the Review seems to have passed into the hands of H. T. Townley and J. M. Bassett, afterwards being run by "An Associa- tion of Gentlemen"-names not given -- with James Lowery as printer. The exact date of its final discontinuance is not now remembered, but a stray copy in the hands of Mr. Henry Wetmore, dated April 13, 1837, is evidence that it was then running, and may have continued several years longer.

In the meantime-1838-40- several transient publications-the Renovator, the Young Buzzard, the Telescope, etc., were run for longer or shorter periods, and possibly some others which have passed from the public mind. During the Harrison-Van Buren campaign of 1840, a spirited Whig campaign paper was published, called the American Eagle, but by whom edited is not now remembered.

"THE TRUE AMERICAN."-During the county seat contest- 1840-42-a vigorously conducted weekly newspaper, under the above title, was published, devoted generally to the business and social interests of Cuyahoga Falls, and especially to the work of securing the location of the seat of justice of the new county of Summit in that village. The general editorial management of the True American, according to the recollection of the writer, was devolved upon Grant B. Turner, Esq., though it is quite probable that Hon. E. N. Sill, S. W. McClure, Esq., and others, contributed many of the able and incisive articles that appeared in its columns during that extremely lively period. We are without further data in regard to the beginning and ending of the True American, but it did not long survive the final settlement of that vexed question, in 1843.

"CUYAHOGA FALLS REPORTER .- In 1870, Mr. E. O. Knox, a prac- tical printer, commenced the publication of a handsome nine- column folio, under the above title, which, being filled with sprightly miscellany, general news, and crisp local happenings, as well as from the advertising facilities which it furnished to the business men of the village, has made itself an indispensable neces- sity to the people of Cuyahoga Falls and surrounding country. It is now called the Cuyahoga Falls Reporter and Western Reserve Farmer, and published in quarto form, enjoying a substantial advertising patronage and a large circulation, both in Cuyahoga Falls and surrounding townships, the mammoth steam-driven cylinder press, upon which it is printed, being in marked contrast to the medium lever hand press upon which the Review was printed 58 years ago. Mr. Knox dying March 7, 1891, the business is now being successfully managed by his widow, Mrs. Ellen Knox.

THE "WEEKLY JOURNAL."-April 15, 1881, Frederick H. Duffy and Frederick A. Douglass, a couple of enterprising young printers of Cuyahoga Falls, commenced the publication of a sprightly paper

750

under the above title, but as the venture did not prove remunera- tive, the paper was discontinued on the 28th day of April, 1882. This paper was independent in politics, though both proprietors were ardent Republicans.

CAPTAIN ISAAC LEWIS, -born in Utica, New York, January 15, 1809; at two years of age moved with . parents to Deerfield, New York, at- tending common schools and work- ing on farm till 18, when he learned the wagon-making trade, later going to West Turin, Lewis county, New York, where, March 2, 1833, he was married to Miss Maria Swartz, in Sep- tember of that year coming to Ohio, and a few months later settling in Cuyahoga Falls; worked at trade until 1841, when he commenced boat- ing upon the Ohio canal, which busi- ness he followed ten years, owning and running, successively, the "Joshua Stow," the "Joseph S. Lake," the "Alice" and the "Cuyahoga;" also owning a one-eighth interest in the two packet boats, "Akron" and " Cleveland," himself running the latter, between Cleveland and Akron, the canal, up to 1851, being the most popular mode of travel in this vicin- ity. In 1851, Captain Lewis engaged with the "Akron Branch," now the C., A. & C. R. R., as conductor, running the first train into Akron, July 4, 1852, and freighting the first lump coal by rail to Cleveland, continuing on the road between Hudson and Millers- burg, five years. May 13, 1858, em- barked in grocery trade in Cuyahoga Falls, which he successfully carried on over a third of a century. Captain and Mrs. Lewis had three children born to them-Richard Almer, born

July 10, 1836, died September 20, 1879 ; Mary, born May 10, 1838, died July, 1840; Arthur Isaac, born December 10, 1849, in partnership with his father, under the firm name of I. Lewis & Son, until the death of Captain Lewis, September 2, 1891, at the age of 82 years, 7 months and 17 days.

THE "REPUBLICAN."-Early in September, 1882, Messrs. H. E. Howard, W. O. Beebe, George P. Sperry, Charles F. Harrison and Frederick A. Douglass filed the necessary papers with the secre- tary of the State, for the incorporation of the "Akron and Cuya- hoga Falls Printing Company," with a capital stock of $1,500 for the purpose of publishing a Republican paper simultaneously at Cuyahoga Falls and Akron, the material of the late Journal to be used for that purpose. Though the paper was duly started by Mr. Douglass on the 30th day of September, 1882, the company alluded to was never organized, and Mr. Douglass, not being adequately supported in his enterprise, discontinued the Republican on the 10th day of March, 1883, transferring his material and subscription list to the Reporter, and himself taking the foremanship of that office; Mr. Duffy, with his brother Isaac S. Duffy, carrying on a job printing office, in the village, under the firm name of Duffy Brothers, as elsewhere stated.

MILITARY MATTERS .- The early military history of Cuyahoga Falls is necessarily blended with those of the several original townships out of which it was carved-Tallmadge, Stow, Portage

and Northampton. Besides the regular militia of the townships named, in which the early inhabitants did " training" duty, sev- eral independent companies have from time to time existed, though we are without adequate data in regard to them. Her Revolutionary prowess is also obscure, as is also that of the War of 1812, and the Mexican War, though it is certain that those wars were participated in by some of the pioneer settlers of Cuyahoga Falls.

But in the sanguinary struggle of 1861-65, for the preserva- tion of the Union, Cuyahoga Falls manifested her patriotism and her valor as only intelligent and high-minded freemen can do. With the reverberation of the first gun fired at Fort Sumter, party lines were abolished and both Democrats and Republicans worked shoulder to shoulder in swelling the ranks of loyalty in defense of the dear old flag.

A correspondent of the BEACON, under date of May 16, 1861, said: "The war fever has not passed our place without showing some signs of progress, 29 of our young men having enrolled them- selves in the Akron company now in Camp Taylor, in Cleveland, and a fund of over $4,000 has been subscribed for the benefit of volunteers and their families. A rifle company is being formed in which many of our best and most prominent citizens are to be found. It is to be organized under the law regulating the State militia, and some sixty are already enrolled."

Through the kindness of Grant B. Turner, Esq., Mr. William O. Beebe and others, in 1887, we were provided with the following, roster of the soldiers furnished by Cuyahoga Falls, during the prog- ress of the war in question:

O LIVER B. BEEBE,-born in New London, Connecticut, October 17, 1807; in childhood removed with parents to Middletown, where, in ad- dition to receiving a good common school education, he learned the book-binder's trade. After working some time as a journeyman, and one year for himself in Middletown, he came to Cuyahaga Falls and estab- lished himself as a book-binder and stationer ; in 1848, embarking in the dry goods trade, which he success- fully conducted until his death, Sep- tember 1, 1881, at the age of 73 years, 10 months and 14 days. September 30, 1832, he was married to Miss Sarah A. Babcock, of Middletown, who still survives, having borne him four chil- dren-Jane, Mary, William Oliver and Robert, the eldest son, only, now sur- viving, who, after several years' suc- cessful business at Cuyahoga Falls, as partner with, and successor to, his father, is now a member of the dry goods firm of Oberholser, Beebe & Co., of Wooster, Ohio.
