For many years St. Clairsville has been very fortunate in se- curing good teachers. Even from the introduction of the free school law its educational advantages have far surpassed many other towns of its size in the state.

OLD SEMINARIES.

The building now owned and occupied by Dr. John Alexan- der was used for several years by Prof. F. S. Brooks as a Semi- nary. It was originally built for a residence by Dr. Thomas Carroll, a Quaker gentleman, who migrated from Columbiana county in about 1831. He engaged in the practice of medicine in this place a number of years. In 1841 he sold the building to Prof. F. S. Brooks, who converted it from a residence into a Seminary, and conducted it as such for a short time, but the school finally fell through for want of proper support.

Prior to this Prof. Wilkinson had founded an Institute on the property now in the possession of Mr. John McClelland. He was succeeded by Brooks along about 1838. The latter bought the property and carried on a school for about a year, when the house took fire and was consumed, but he had it rebuilt.

Prof. Brooks undertook to carry on both schools, the one at the edge of town for gentlemen and the other for ladies. But, being disappointed in his attempt to establish such a school with pecuniary results to justify him, he failed, and the buildings were purchased by the above named gentlemen.

In 1836 the Methodists organized a Seminary in the eastern end of the old Masonic Hall. But this school, like the others, failed for want of proper support. There was also a common school taught in the west end of the same building at that time- both on the first floor.

COLORED SCHOOLS.

For a number of years St. Clairsville has kept up a separate school for the education of the colored children of the place. One of the old school buildings formerly used by the town is oc- cupied by this school. A colored gentleman named West, has been the teacher for a couple of years.

THE UNION CEMETERY.

The Union Cemetery Association was organized April 29th, 1871. The trustees elected were George Brown, David Brown, William Chambers, George Jepson, Samuel M. Thompson, Hon. R. E. Chambers, clerk. This cemetery is located about a half mile north of St. Clairsville, and there is about fifteen acres enclosed in the lot. The site is a beautiful one, being on an elevated piece of ground. A portion of this lot was used for years by the Presbyterians and underneath its green, beautiful sod has been interred many of the early citizens. Hundreds people this city of the dead. Scarcely a family in St. Clairsville, but is linked to this sacred spot, where repose the remains of kin- dred and friends. Soon after the settlement in. this vicinity the dead were interred in this ground. This place is being beautified more and more every year. The evergreens planted there by kind friends above the resting place of those they loved will soon cast their shade over the walks which kindred frequent. Here may come the lover and find a retreat of quiet, weeping over the untimely fate of his betrothed and to deck her grave with flowers. Here let the father erect his monu- ment to the memory of his noble child. Here let the profligate son catch the inspiration of repentance and virtue as he gazes on the last memorials of his pious parents. Here let a daughter revive a mother's image and endearment.

"While this place of weeping still Its lone memorial keeps, Whilst on her name, 'midst woods and hills The quiet sunshine keeps."

Here a grateful publie can pay their tribute to talent, learn- ng and industry, devoted to the interest of mankind. As the eyes, that from this point, look mournfully upon the surround- ing landscape, may they be favored, like Moses from the sum- mit of Pisgah, with brighter visions of the promised rest in heaven.

M. E. BURIAL GROUND.

In 1809 the trustees of the Methodist Episcopal Church pur- chased from Josiah Hedges about one acre of ground for the

229

HISTORY OF BELMONT AND JEFFERSON COUNTIES

purpose of using it for a burial place. When Mr. John Thomp- son came in possession of the land from which this parcel had been sold he donated a half acre joining it, to the Episcopalian brethren who used it until the society abandoned their church. Since it has been used entirely by the former society. Here rests the remains of several old revolutionary soldiers, the body of Genin and other noted persons of early days.

THE FRIENDS OR QUAKER'S GRAVEYARD. .

This burying place lies immediately north of town and con- tains about half an acre. Perhaps the first interment took place here along in 1810-12. It is still used for burial purposes occasionally.

OLD BUILDINGS.

Major Thompson says that the oldest building standing in town is the corner house opposite Shepherd Davis, wagon shop, and that the second one is back of Bumgarner's shop. The west end of Fink's tavern was the first shingle-roof house in town. He also says his father, John Thompson, built one amongst the first cabins in St. Clairsville, on the lot immediate- ly east of Judge Kennon's residence, in 1800.

HORSE MILLS AND DISTILLERIES.

On a lot near where the Friends' meeting-house stood was erected a horse-mill along in 1807-8. A small still house was also built on the same lot in about that year. Josiah Dillon owned them. The mill was afterwards burned down. A man from Zanesville operated the still. Mr. John Thompson pur- chased this distillery, and continued distilling for several years. Michael Groves run a still house on the lot owned by king. Distilleries were quite numerous in those days. Major Thomp- son says, still houses could be found on nearly every other farm. In this connection can be related an old circumstance, which took place in the days of one-horse distilleries. A Teuton came to town with a three-bushel bag of rye, hunting market for the same. As no one seemed inclined to buy, the fellow got provoked, and said : "By jimminy ! If I can't sells him, I takes him home and makes him into viskey, den I eats him!"

EARLY MEMBERS OF THE BELMONT COUNTY BAR.

CHARLES HAMMOND .- First among the names of the hon- ored inembers of the bar of Belmont county, stands that of Charles Hammond, who afterward became a prominent law- yer of the state. He was a native of Maryland and a graduate of Washington College, Soon after quitting school he entered the law office and was a pupil under the cele- brated Philip Doddridge. He migrated to the county in 1801, to follow his chosen profession. In November of that year, he was appointed prosecuting attorney by the court, and then, soon afterwards, legally appointed by the Governor of the Northwest Territory, in which capacity he served until near the close of 1804. He was not only a lawyer of fine talent, but a man of great popularity with all classes. He was honest in the fullest sense of the word, and remarkably affable in manner. During the war of '12 he published The Federalist, of St. Clairsville. At this time he resided on the farm now owned by Charles H. Amick, near the top of Wheeling hill. In 1824 he removed to Cincinnati and attained a high position there as editor of the Gazette. He was the author of the cele- brated political essays, signed "Hampden," published in the Na- tional Intelligencer in 1820, regarding the character and Consti- tution of the United States government, for which he was high- ly complimented by President Jefferson. He died in Cincinnati in 1840,

JACOB NAGLE .- A classical scholar and eloquent orator, migrat- ed from Bedford, Pennsylvania, in 1802, He was the first resi- dent lawyer St. Clairsville had. Prior to his removal to this region, he owned the Bedford Springs, which were famous for medicinal properties. He succeeded Hammond as prosecutor, serving from 1804 to 1808. He had a great weakness for drink. He was highly respected for his learning, but in later years was seldom ever entrusted with a case. Other lawyers less able to manage their busines, usually advised with him on intricate and difficult points of law.

COL. GEORGE PAULL .- Migrated from Uniontown, Pa. Ad- mitted to practice in the Belmont county courts in 1806. He was a Colonel ont in the war of'12, and was in the engagement which took place at Moravian village, on the Thames, October 5, 1813. He represented this county in the Legislature along

HISTORY OF BELMONT LODGE NO. 16, F. & A. M.

ITS ORGANIZATION-CHARTER MEMBERS AND FIRST OFFICIALS --

EARLY LODGE ROOM-OLD HALL-HISTORY OF ITS PRESENT HALL-SHORT SKETCHES OF SOME OF ITS PRIMITIVE MEMBERS -- PRESENT OFFICIALS.

Belmont Lodge No. 16, of F. and A. M., was organized Jan- uary 8, 1811, in the Court House, by a dispensation from the Grand Worthy Lodge of Ohio, and on the 8th of January, 1812, a charter was granted them from that body, signed by Lewis Cass, Grand Master. This is the oldest lodge in the county.

James Kelse, Sr., Ezra Ellis, Benjamin Ruggles, Henry H. Evans, Moses Moorhead, Thomas Thompson, James Carrothers, Josiah Dillon and Joseph Patten, are the names appearing on its charter.

The following were its primitive officers :

James H. Kelse, Worshipful Priest.

Ezra Ellis, Senior Warden.

Benjamin Ruggles, Junior Warden.

The first room occupied by this lodge for stated meetings was a small one in Michael Groves' hotel building, which is now owned by Mr. Fink. Here a few Masons met faithfully from time to time and grew slowly in numbers, notwithstanding the heavy pressure brought to bear by the anti-Masons. It was in this lodge that the germ of Masonry of Belmont county took root, and extended its branches to other towns. After meeting a number of years in their first hall, they removed to the large jury room on the second floor of the Court, House. Major Thompson said they staid in this place until 1827, and then they took np their quarters in their new hall, which had, in the meantime, been erected.

This building was a neat two story brick 25x70 feet, and sit- uated at the lower end of South Market street. The lower rooms were used for an academy and village school. In 1849, the hall took fire from a defective flue, and the entire building was consumed. All the lodge property, however, was secured. After this they removed again into the room formerly used by them in the Court House. A few years later the society pur- chased the house owned by Mr. Johnson, which stood on the east end of the lot now occupied by the elegant three story brick. This building was erected in 1869. The third floor is used for their hall, which is 33x84. In connection they have a banquet- ing room 18x30 feet. Since 1870 an annual reunion and ban- qnet has been kept up by the lodge in this hall, for the Ma- sons and their families.

The higher branches of Masonry which meet here are as fol- lows :

The Chapter of Royal Arch Masons, No. 17, organized in 1827.

The Royal Select Masons, No. 54, organized in 1868.

Hope Commandery, No. 26, Knights Templar, established in 1871.

This lodge room is a pleasant and comfortable one. Its walls are decorated with the pictures of many of its carly members, amongst which are found

WILMETHI JONES.

He migrated from Washington county, Pennsylvania, in about 1816, and was made a Mason in this lodge soon after his settlement. He attained to the degree of Royal Arch Mason. He held prominent places in this lodge, and was sent to the grand lodge as representative, in which body he filled important positions on committees. Ile died here in 1862, greatly esteemed by his acquaintances.
