STATE SENATORS.


When Champaign county was organized in 1805 it was in the senatorial district represented by Duncan McArthur and George Todd. The fifth ses- sion of the General Assembly, which convened on December 1, 1806, found Calvin Cone serving with McArthur, and this session created a new sena- torial district by uniting Champaign, Butler and Warren counties. The two senators of this district of three counties in the sixth General Assembly, which convened on December 7. 1807, were John Digger and Richard S. Thomas. The seventh and eighth General Assembly were represented in the senate by Hiram M. Curry, of Champaign county, and the county during these two sessions as well as the ninth and tenth sessions was constituted a separate senatorial district. Alexander McBeth served during the ninth and tenth ses- sion ( 1810-1811). The tenth session created what was called the Cham- paign senatorial district, composed of Champaign, Miami and Preble counties and this district remained unchanged until the 24th General Assembly, which convened on December 5, 1825. The senators during this period (1812-1825) were as follows:

From 1836 to 1538 Champaign, Clark and Logan counties were united in a senatorial district. John H. James, of I'rbana, was a senator for this district during the thirty-fourth, thirty-fifth, thirty-sixth and thirty-seventh sessions. During the thirty-seventh, thirty-eighth and thirty-ninth sessions Champaign county was divided between two sena- torial districts: One composed of Champaign, Clark and Logan counties; the other of Champaign, Logan and I'uion counties. The first district elected James to the thirty-seventh and Joseph Vance to the thirty-eighth and thirty-ninth sessions, but with the beginning of the fortieth session Champaign county was united with only Logan and Union counties. Beginning with the fortieth session and continuing through to the forty-seventh session (1848) there was no change in the composition of the senatorlal district including Champaign county.

eleventh district with the counties of Clark and Madison, and no change bas been made in this district since it was organized. The first session under the new constitution convened on January 5, 1852, and at that time John D. Burnett, one of the ablest lawyers of Urbana at the time, represented the district. Since there are three counties in the district It has been the custom to alternate in the selection of the sena- tors between the three counties. Of the senators of the eleventh sena- torial district who have served since 1852, the following have been from Champaign county : John D. Burnett, Joseph C. Brand, Samuel S. Hinkle, Anson P.

CHAMPAIGN COUNTY OFFICIALS, 1917.


The following table gives the list of all the county officials in 1917 together with their salaries. The salary of all county officials are payable at the end of each month and, with very few exceptions, all the officials have a fixed salary. The coroner is the only official in the county whose salary is made up of fees. The county surveyor formerly received certain fees, but the White-Mulcahy act of the 1917 Legislature placed him on a straight salary and provided for the reversion of all fees to the county. He was formerly allowed fifty dollars a month for tax-map drafting. Beginning with June 28, 1917, the surveyor is placed on a straight salary basis, the same as all other officials of the county except the coroner. Some officials are allowed a per diem for the time actually spent ; others get only their expenses; still others serve without pay. The following table gives the names of the county officials on June 1, 1917:

CHAPTER VI.


TOWNSHIPS OF CHAMPAIGN COUNTY.


Champaign county now has twelve townships, although in 1817, just one hundred years ago, it had twenty-three townships. The setting off of Clark and Logan counties by the Legislature in 1817 reduced Champaign county to its present size. The historian has not attempted to give any history of the townships which were set off from Champaign county when Clark and Logan were formed. Their names and boundaries are given in the chapter on county organization.


The organization of townships after the first three were organized in 1805 was always left to the county commissioners, the first townships-Mad River, Salem and Springfield-being organized by the associate judges. Sub- sequent townships were organized upon petition by voters within the territory asking to be organized as a township. The townships were all organized by 1828, the last township to be organized being Adams ( 1828). There has been an effort in the county to keep the townships practically of the same size. Salem being the largest (forty-eight square miles) and Harrison being the smallest (twenty-four square miles).


THE ELEVEN LOST TOWNSHIPS.


It is not generally known that there were eleven townships organized in Champaign county between 1805 and 1817 which are now parts of other counties. All of the present county of Clark, eleven miles south of the present Champaign-Clark line was organized into townships before the organization of Clark in 1817. The townships were Springfield. Madison, Bethel, Harmony, Moorefield, Pleasant, German and Pike. The exact limits of these townships is not known, but it is improbable that any of them included territory now within the present limits of Champaign county. Their organization, however, is a matter of Champaign county record, but in the absence of the commis- sioners' records for the years between 1805 and 1817 it is not possible to determine their exact limits. With the creation of Clark county by the legis- lative act of December 26, 1817, and its formal organization on the first of


(10)


146


CHAMPAIGN COUNTY, OHIO.


the following March, these townships disappear forever from Champaign county history.


The same Legislature which detached eleven miles from the southern part of Champaign county to form a part of Clark county-at the same time detaching the eight townships already organized therein-also detached that part of the present Logan county between the Greenville Treaty Line and the present Champaign-Logan county line, the same becoming a part of the Logan county provided for by the legislative act of December 30, 1817. At the time this strip was cut off from the northern part of Champaign county there were three townships which had been already organized, namely, Zane, Jefferson and Miami; and these three townships presumably embraced all the detached territory, but none of them (with the possible exception of Harrison ) included territory within the present limits of Champaign county.


TOWNSHIP OFFICIALS.


Ohio rejoices in a multiplicity of township officials and the list seems to be increasing instead of decreasing. Most of the townships of Champaign county have from ten to fifteen elective officials, as well as several who are appointed. At the head of the official family of each township is a group of five officials-three trustees, a clerk and a treasurer-while below this group is a corps of justices of the peace, a posse of constables, a set of assessors- and, lastly, a quartet of highway superintendents. In addition to this lengthy list of officials there are various and sundry other positions which come under and are subsidiary to the highway superintendents.


The duties performed by the three trustees, the clerk, and the treasurer are all in the hands of one man in the townships of Indiana. Besides, the Indiana trustees have charge of all the schools, select all the teachers and perform most of the duties of the township highway superintendent in Ohio- for which the Indiana trustees receives two dollars a day for each working day in the year. This by way of comparison.


In Ohio each of the three trustees receive one dollar and a half a day for each day employed on township work, and fifteen minutes is a day in the eyes of the law. Each township treasurer is allowed two per cent. on all the orders issued by him and this averages from one hundred to one hundred and fifty dollars per annum. Beginning on January 1, 1918, the trustees will receive two dollars and a half per day. The clerks are paid about one hundred and fifty dollars a year on an average. The justices of the peace and constables are purely fee officers and their remuneration frequently approaches the point

of infinity. In fact, it is difficult to secure competent justices of the peace and they are constantly resigning, so that it is difficult to keep the legal number in office. The average township constable very seldom has the chance to display his bravery in the exercise of the duties connected with his office. The town- ship assessors are allowed four dollars a day and in the spring of 1917 were limited to twenty days' work; in 1916 they were allowed a maximum of forty-eight days, but the new law relieved them of most of their duties. Many of them performed all of the duties of their office in less than a week in the spring of 1917.


TOWNSHIP OFFICIALS IN 1917.


The township highway superintendents receive a maximum per diem of two dollars and twenty-five cents, the number of days to be determined by the township trustees. Jackson township has only one road district, but each of the other townships have four districts. The highway superintendents are appointed by the township trustees.


A summary of the township officials shows the following: Forty-five highway superintendents, thirty-six trustees, twenty-four justices of the peace and an equal number of constables, twenty-three assessors, twelve treasurers, the same number of clerks-a total of one hundred and seventy-six township officials, an average of about fifteen to the township. The appended table gives the trustees, clerks, treasurers and assessors of each township, all of whom are elected for two years and took their office on January 1, 1916:

The following chapters devoted to historical sketches of the twelve town- ships of the county are given in chronological order, that is, as near chronolog- ically as can be determined. The official petitions for the organization of the townships have not been found in a single instance. The first three town- ships organized on April 20, 1805, were not the result of petitions, but were arbitrarily set off by the associate judges. The succeeding nine townships of the county were undoubtedly organized by the commissioners upon the pre- sentation of satisfactory petitions, but no record of these petitions has been preserved. Not only are the petitions not on record in the commissioners' journal, but the original petitions themselves are missing. Therefore, in the absence of all documentary evidence, the historian is forced to rely upon other data for evidences of the beginning of these nine townships. The poll books of seven townships have been preserved, giving the voters on October 8, 1811, and this established beyond doubt a date for that many townships. From other sources it may be proved that the other townships were organized approximately at the dates assigned them.

CHAPTER VIL.


MAD RIVER TOWNSHIP.


Mad River township was one of the three townships organized on April 20, 1805, the first day the associate judges of the county met to divide the county into civil divisions. The Mad River township of 1805 included a wide stretch of territory : A fourteen-mile strip along the western side of the present counties of Champaign, Clark and Logan and extending from the Greenville Treaty Line on the north to the line dividing sections 31 and 32, township 3, range 10. In other words, the original Mad River township was practically half of the county, as defined in 1805, north of Springfield township, which was a strip seven miles wide across the southern part of Champaign.


The name of the township was given in honor of the river which tra- verses it from north to south along the eastern portion and which furnishes ample natural drainage for the entire township. As the township is now defined it is drained by Nettle, Anderson ( formerly known as Spring creek) and Owens creeks on the north, and Chapman creek and Storms creek on the south, all these being tributaries of Mad river. The highest point in the town- ship, twelve hundred and eighteen feet. is found along the western side in section 32. The township contains as fine farming land as can be found in the county and was one of the most thickly populated townships in the county until 1850.


LATER BOUNDARY CHANGES.


As the county increased in population new townships were organized and Mad River township was gradually decreased as new townships were set off from portions of its original extensive territory. It is not possible to follow the successive boundary changes in the townships, but prior to the organiza- tion of Logan and Clark counties by the Legislature in 1817-1818. Mad River included in addition to its present limits, Jackson and two tiers of sections of township 3, range 10, in what is now Clark county. With the organization of Clark county on March 1, 1818, following the authorization of the act of December 26, 1817, Champaign was given its present limits and at the same time the northern tier of sections in township 4. range to, was added to Mad

River. The township was restricted to its present limits after the organiza- tion of Jackson township in 1827.


As the township now stands it includes all of township 4, range II, and the northern tier of sections in township 4, range 10. If each section were perfect the township would contain exactly forty-two square miles, with a total land area of twenty-six thousand eight hundred and eighty acres. The township is bounded on the north by Concord township, on the east by Urbana township, on the south by Clark county and on the west by Jackson township.


THE FIRST SETTLER.


In the summer of 1797 there rode into what is now Champaign county the first white man to become a permanent resident of Mad River township and Champaign county. If there had been a hotel in the county he would have signed his name on the register-William Owens, but since he was the first inhabitant he was compelled to furnish his own accommodations. Little is known of this first pioneer ; born in Virginia, a poor man, a married man, the owner of four horses and a wagon, a few swine and a meager equipment of household furniture and farming tools-these are the main facts which tradition has preserved concerning the first settler in Champaign county.


William Owens drove into the county, up Mad river and up Nettle creek, and settled, or, to be exact, "squatted" on a tract about two miles south of the present village of Westville, some place in section 9 or section 15. He is credited with settling in the northeast quarter of section 15 and some time after 1797, the date being unknown, he bought two hundred and forty acres from William Ward, part of which was in section 15 and the remainder in section 9. This land which today is easily worth one hundred and fifty dollars an acre, was purchased by Owens for one dollar an acre and the owner of the land, William Ward, was undoubtedly glad to get even that much for the land.


Tradition has handed down some interesting things about this sterling old pioneer, which may or may not be true, but are nevertheless worthy of being preserved. For years he was the only white man in the community and such were his characteristics that he became fast friends with the Indians. They dubbed him Kosko Elene, that is to say "Hogman," because he brought the first hogs into this section of the state. His religion was of a variable quantity and of a very flexible quality ; while professing a belief in the divin- ity of Christ, yet occasions arose that prompted him to call upon the name of the Master in terms other than those of adoration. But he became a men- ber of the Baptist church at Nettle Creek when it was organized in 1805 and

with the support of the church gradually forsook his former lapses from grace and became a faithful member. He continued to reside in the township until his death in 1818, his demise resulting from a fever which he contracted while moving a family to Indianapolis. He left a family of eight children and they all grew to maturity and became respected citizens of the township. Many of his descendants are still living in the county.


ARRIVAL OF OTHER SETTLERS.


While the name and date of the first settler in Mad River township is well known, it is impossible to trace the order in which succeeding settlers arrived. When it is taken into consideration that on the first election day in the spring of 1805 there were no fewer than one hundred and five voters in the township, it will be seen that the township filled up rapidly during the eight years between the arrival of the first settler and the organization of the county in 1805. The names of these first settlers have been preserved and are set forth in this connection. The names are recorded in the record book of the township, a book which contains the names of the first officers of the township and the list of the voters who cast their ballots at the first election in May, 1805.
