Richmond is at present a quiet inland town of abont 500 in- habitants, pursuing the even tenor of its way, and free from the worry and bustle of the outside world. A narrow-gauge rail- road is, however, in course of construction connecting the town with the P. & C. R. R. at Brown's Island, and in the event of the completion of that enterprise, it is impossible to predict the future of the town.

EAST SPRINGFIELD

is situated on the northwest quarter of section 35, township 10 range 3. It was laid out by John Gillis, Jr .. in February, 1803. lots 60x132 feet, streets 55 feet wide. In 1809 there were but three houses in the place. Sheriff Douglas, William Leslie, David Lyons, John Hague, John McCombs, and Thomas and Patrick Hardenmadder were among the earliest inhabitants. The Hardenmadders went ont in the war of 1812, and did not return to East Springfield. John Hague kept the first hotel near where Mr. Porter now lives, afterwards (in 1810) built where A. Calhoun now keeps hotel. The first store in the vil- lage was kept by Charles Leslie in 1813, and stood just oppo- site to Shane's Hotel. David Lyons was a blacksmith, and in 1810 made nails to shingle the honses. Daniel Markham was also a blacksmith, and made saddle tacks about the same time. The first preaching in the vicinity was by Rov. Joseph Hall, Methodist. The first school was tanght by Jack Gillis in 1814. East Springfield was never incorporated.

SALEM

It was laid out by Isaac Helmick in 1802, lots 60x132 feet, streets 50 feet wide. The first house on the premises was built by John Sunderland. The first store was kept by John Wilson. The first regular hotel was kept by William Mugg, and the first ser- mon was preached by Rev. John Rhinehart, Lutheran.

The postoffice was established in 1815, and the first postmas- ter was Robert Baird.

Salem is a small town of 160 inhabitants, 40 of them living in Harrison county. It contains three churches, Methodist, Lu- theran and Presbyterian ; three stores, R. D. Armstrong, L. R.

Salem, like Zoar of old, is but " a little city," still it can claim what no other town in the Union can. It points with pride to the fact that it is the home of

THE OLDEST POSTMASTER IN THE UNITED STATES.

Fifty-six years ago the people of Salem looked about for a suitable person to serve them in the capacity of postmaster and the choice fell upon William Vantz, then a fine-looking young man of twenty-one years.

Mr. Vantz was born in Frederick county, Maryland, in 1802, and in 1813, his father, prompted by a desire to improve his fortunes, emigrated to Ohio and located at Salem, in Jefferson county. Here young Vantz learned the trade of hatter and was working at it when President Monroc, in 1823, appointed him postmaster. Since that time, fourteen Presidents have been inaugurated, twenty-one Postmaster Generals have wielded the official mace, and fourteen states have been admitted into the Union. Then the population of the United States was 10,000,- 000, now it is 45,000,000. Then Ohio was "away out west," Gen. Fremont, the path finder, had not crossed the Rocky mountains. California was a Mexican province, and the great west a veritable terra incognita. Then Prof. Morse had not awakened from the sleep of ages, the swift winged messenger, that out-strips thought-the electric telegraph. Then no rail- road had ventured across the apparently, insurmountable bar- rier, the Alleghany mountains Now with arms of steel, and nerves of wire, the country is bound together from north to south, and the civilization of the east is reflected from the Gold- en gate of the west. Then there were no sewing machines, reapers, power printing presses, photographers or telephones. Now these and a thousand other wonderful inventions have conspired to revolutionize society and change the face of Nature.

In one place however there was no change, and that was in the postoffice, in the little town of Salem, Ohio. William Vantz still " hoids the fort." The little girl, that in 1823, timidly asked for " papa's letters " is now a silver-haired old lady and her great-grandchild now approaches Mr. Vantz and in the same tone asks: " Is there any mail for papa ?"

During Mr. V.'s incumbency parties have changed, many changes of administration have taken place and many an official head has fallen into the basket in obedience to the law that to the victors belong the spoils. That he has not been " rotated " out of office is perhaps due to the punctuality, integrity and strict adherence to the requirements of the postal regulations which characterize the performance of his duties-no consideration be- ing sufficient to induce him to vary from the regular order of business. Having his own political and religious preferences (he was a Democrat and Lutheran) he never offensively ob- truded the one or made an ostentatious display of the other.

In 1836, Mr. Vantz was elected justice of the peace and served in that capacity twenty-four years. His books are neatly kept, although he is obliged to write with his left hand. Mr. V. was

never married, but keeps bachelor's hall, said " hall" being the oldest, quaintest and most unique postoffice in the United States and its proprietor the oldest and best preserved specimen of postmaster extant.

RICHMOND COLLEGE.

(Contributed by Prof. S. S. Simpson.)

The causes which led to the establishment of Richmond Col- lege are somewhat obscure. It would seem, however, that a select school, taught by Rev. J. C. Tydball about 1832 or 1833, first suggested the idea, gave impulse to the movement, and led to the application for a charter soon after.

By act of the General Assembly, bearing date January 22, 1835, Thomas George, Isaac Shane, William Blackiston, Henry Crew, Stephen Ford, Thomas Orr, David Sloane, Nathaniel My- ers, John Cook, William Farmer, Samuel Bell, A. T. Markle and James H. Moore were created a body-politic and corporate styled the "Board of Directors of the Richmond Classical Institute," receiving under this act the rights, powers and privileges usually granted to such corporations, The object of the Institute, as briefly set forth in the charter, is to "afford instruction in the liberal arts and sciences. After the securing of the charter in 1835, no effective effort was made to establish a school in accord- ance with its provisions until 1843. At a meeting of the board of directors, held July 31st of that year, it was resolved that it is necessary and practicable that the board carry the institution under its control into operation. In pursuance of the resolu- tion, committees were appointed to secure a suitable school for the use of the institute and the services of a competent teacher. The basement story of the old M. E. Church was secured by . lease for two years. Oct. 1, 1843, Rev. John R. Dundass was chosen president of the institution, and D. D. McBryer, profes; sor of languages and natural science. These gentlemen entered upon their duties the first Monday of November, 1843, and re- mained in charge of the institute until June, 1845, when D. D. McBryer resigned his position. Better accommodations being now needed for the use of the institute, at a meeting of the board, January 6, 1845, committees were appointed to look out for a site for a building and to secure subscriptions for the erec- tion of a suitable house. The necessary funds were soon raised. Two lots were secured by purchase from Joseph Talbott, and one-half acre adjoining by donation from Thomas Hammond. On this site, under the direction of the building committee, con- sisting of Thomas Burns, E. M. Pyle and Henry Crew, was erected a building, of brick, forty-five by thirty-two feet and two stories in height. This building was completed in the latter part of 1845, and on June 25th of that year, John Comin was elected to the professorship of languages and moral science, and William Sarver to that of mathematics and natural sciences. In March, 1846, John Comin resigned and D. D. McBryer was elected president. January 15, 1847, in order more fully to carry out the great object designed in the charter of the institute, and for the purpose of conferring literary degrees and giving additional permanency and reputation to its operations, three additional professorships were created. To these were chosen Rev. Wm. Lorimer, professor of Hebrew and evidences of chris- tianity ; Rev. B. F. Sawhill, professor of ancient and modern his- tory and political economy, and Dr. John Cook, professor of chemistry, geology and belles lettres. At the commencement, September 30, 1847, the degree of A. B. was conferred upon William Sarver, Sheridan Baker and William McBryer. A change of. name being desirable, as of advantage to the institute, the board, at a meeting held Nov. 15. 1847, authorized its offices to petition the legislature to change the name from Richmond Classical Institute to Richmond College. During the next meeting this was done and the desired change made. At the commencement, September 27, 1848, John C. Brisbin re- ceived the degree of A. B. In September of that year, J. R. W. Sloane was elected president of the college, to fill the vacancy oc- casioned by the resignation of D. D. McBryer. In March, 1849, William Sarver resigned his chair as professor of mathematics and natural sciences, and Alexander G. Farquar was chosen to fill the vacancy. In July, 1849, Rev. John C. Spencer was superseded by Rev. B. F. Sawhill. August, 1849, A. G. Farquar resigned, and his place was filled by James Orr, John S. McGregor and James E. Marsh received the degree of A. B. at the commencement of that year. During 1850 the Presbytery of Steubenville of the Presbyterian Church, having it in contemplation to establish an academy within its bounds, negotiations were entered into on the part of the board with it, having in view a union of the two

567

HISTORY OF BELMONT AND JEFFERSON COUNTIES

institutions. These negotiations, after some delays, resulted in the Presbytery taking the college under its control.

Under this arrangement, J. R. W. Sloane having resigned presidency of the college, Rev. Cyrus C. Riggs was chosen his successor, and at the same time J. R. W. Sloane and Rev. Wil- ham Eaton were elected members of the faculty. The gradu- ating class of 1850 consisted of William H. Pyle, A. F. Torrance, Lewis Weaver, Thomas MeFarran and Josiah Waggoner. In February, 1851, professors Sloane and Eaton resigned their professorships, and Rev. Joseph White was chosen a member of the faculty. In the latter part of 1851, the Presbytery of Steubenville having surrendered control of the college, it re- verted to the control of the old board. Upon the resignation of Rev. C. C. Riggs, S. L. Coulter was elected his successor, who remained until January, 1853, when he was succeeded by Joseph Lindley. During the same year Rev. Archbald was elected as- sistant professor of languages, and John W. Lindley, professor of mathematics and natural seiences. In 1854, the college passed into the control of the Pittsburgh M. E. Conference. Under its management, M. S. Bonnafield and C. R. Stuntz were chosen faculty of the institution, who entered upon their duties, No- vember 5, 1855, and resigned in June, 1856. Rev S. H. Nesbit was then chosen president, and Rev. S. M. Hickman professor of languages. In May, 1857, Rev. S. M. Hickman resigned, and the vaeancy was filled by John Z. Moore. During the year last named a movement was set on foot having in view the endow- ment of the college. This enterprise, however, after some effort and partial success was abandoned. In the beginning of 1860. J. T. Holmes was elected president of the college, who remained until the spring of 1862. The civil war then being in progress, he raised a company of volunteers and entered the service of the Union army. ,In the latter part of 1862, Revs. Peacock and Marquis took charge of the college, and were succeeded by Lewis Rabe in the latter part of 1863. In the spring of 1864, Rev. G. W. Baker was chosen president, who resigning soon af- ter was succeeded by Rev. J. H. Peacock. In the latter part of 1866, L. W. Ong received the presidency, and during the same year M. B. Riley was chosen assistant professor. In 1867 the need of a boarding hall being felt, a movement was made having for its object the erection of a building for that purpose. This, however, was not accomplished at that time. M. B. Riley resigned his position in 1869, and in 1871, A. R. Ong and S. S. Simpson-were elected members of the faculty. In 1872 the old college property was conveyed by deed to L. W. Ong with the provision that it shall be used exclusively for the purposes of education, in strict accordance with the purposes designated in the charter. Steps were then taken to secure subscriptions for the erection of a new college building and boarding hall. The old college building and grounds were sold. A site was secured a short distance from the village, by donation of one acre from Lewis Ong and the purchase of about cleven acres adjoining. On a beautiful knoll in these grounds was erected, under the di- rection of professor L. W. Ong, a college building of brick, two stories in heighth, and near it a boarding hall three stories in height, and capable of accommodating fifty students. The corner stone of the new college building was laid, with appro- priate exercises, August 8, 1872, Revs. J. R. W. Sloane, J. B. Dickey, James Marvin and W. B. Watkins, delivered addresses on that occasion. On August 28, 1873, the new college building was dedicated. Professor L. W. Ong continued in the presi- dency of the institution until June 5, 1877, when he was re- mnoved by death. In 1877, Rev. W. J. Brugh was elected presi- dent, who resigning in 1878 was succeeded by S. S. Simpson and A. C. Ong. On September 6, 1878, the property was pur- chased by a company of individuals in whose hands it now re- mains. The members of the present board of directors are B. L. Crew, Rev. I. Rice, Thompson Douglass, S. H. Ford, Joshua Moores, Benjamin Sheelly, William Waggoner, F. J. Frederic, Rev. J. B. Borland, Robert Martin, George McCausland, A. J. Crawford and William Ford. In addition to the names already mentioned are many other intimately connected with the early history of the institution as members of the board of directors.

Prominent among the many deserving of honorable mention aro the names of Rev. William Lorimer of the U. P. Church ; C. C. Beatty, D. D, of the Presbyterian Church ; S. H. Nesbit, D. D., of the M. E. Church ; also those of E. M. Pyle, M. D., Thomas Burns, Adam Stewart and John McGregor. Edwin M. Stanton, the great war secretary under Lincoln, was for a time a member of the board. Such, in brief, is the history of Richmond College, an institution which was chartered in 1835, has with very few and brief intervals been in activo operation

since 1843, down to the present time, (July, 1879). Although its Alumni are not many in number, yet this is by no means a measure of its influence and its usefulness. Hundreds of young men and women have received instruction within its halls, and receiving here the first impulse to a higher education have con- tinued to graduation in other institutions, and are now eminent members of the different professions, whilst many others receiv- ing here that measure of education which fits them for the better enjoyment and exercise of the more ordinary duties of life, now live honored and useful members of society. And with the in- creased facilities which the college now has at command, there is every reason to believe that its record in the years to come, as given by the future historian, will show yet greater and no- bler results than the records of the past.

CHURCHES.

METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF RICHMOND.

About the year 1800, a young Methodist preacher by the name of Joseph Hall came to Ohio and married Miss Dillah Moores, daughter of James Moores, of Salem township, and set- tled on the northwest quarter of section 2, township 10, range 3, where Mr. E. Burchfield now lives. He preached occasionally at the house of his father-in-law. James Moores, afterwards at the houses of Stephen Ford and Henry Jackman alternately, un- til a small log church was built on the land of Henry Jackman. The first class was formed about 1808, of which the following persons were members: James Moores and wife, Elizabeth; Henry Jackman and wife, Christina; Joseph Hall and wife, Dillah ; Stephen Ford and wife, Ruth; George Hout and wife, Christina. Judge James Moores was the first class leader. Dur- ing the year 1832, a church (brick 40x44) was built at Rich- mond. This building, with some alterations, stood until 1861, when it was replaced by the present structure (45x66, brick) at a cost of $5,000. Location, east side of South Sugar street. There are at present 250 members. Class Leaders-Wm. Ford, James Hartup, Franklin Frederick, Joshua Moores, John Ar- nold, John Burns, D. H. Sowash and Monroe Wood. Preacher in charge, Rev. J. R.

UNITED PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF RICHMOND.

The original society from which this sprung was organized by Rev. Alex. Calderhead in 1805, at the house of Col. John An- drews, on the northeast quarter of section 6, township 10, range 3. John Collins, John Johnson and John Walker were ordained ruling elders. A tent six feet long, five feet wide and seven feet high, of clapboards, was erected in 1806, on the farm of James McLain, and moved on a sled from place to place to suit the con- venience of the preacher or congregation.

In April, 1811, Rev. George Buchanan became pastor, and in 1816, a hewn log meeting house 24x28, called " Union Church," was erected on the land of David Andrews, now owned by R. H. Kerr. Rev. Buchanan was succeeded in 1831, by Rev. Hugh Parks, under whose auspices a new church was built at Rich- mond in 1836, a brick structure 35x45, which stood until replaced by another 42x60, brick, in the year 1851, which is still used. Location, on "Shelly addition," east of town. In Octo- ber, 1838, Rev. Parks was succeeded by Rev. Wm. Lorimer, who officiated until April, 1858. Under his administration the mem- bership rose to one hundred and forty-six, the maximum num- ber attained. Rev. J. H. Peacock was installed pastor, July, 1859, and remained eight years, and July 1. 1871, the present incumbent, Rev. J. B. Borland, was installed pastor. The pres- ent number of members is ninety-four.
