SLIGO.

Adams township has two towns within its limits, neither of which Is incorporated. The first of these is Sligo. This little village had no existence prior to the building of the Goshen and Wilmington turnpike. A man by the name of George Taylor, a hatter by trade, had a shop there on a lot in the forks of the road long before the town was laid out. This lot was afterwards owned by John Kimbrough, on which he built a house in 1841 or 1842, the first two-story house erected in the town. In this building he kept s tavern for several years. The first toll gate was built by John Shields in 1840. The second toll-gate house was built by Rebecca Kersey, sister of Thomas Kersey, but the gate was kept by Mrs. Beach. The toll gate has been long since torn down, but the house remained for a number of years afterwards.

John Swindler was the first blacksmith in Sligo, and John Hawthorn, the second. Hawthorn left in the spring of 18339 and went to Eaton. John Kimbrough commenced smithing in the same shop. a log one, in 1839. This shop stond north of the pike, but on the south side of the old road. This was torn down and a brick one erected in 1841, by Kimbrough. Soon afterward. George Slack built a two-story brick residence on the south side of the pike and occupied it until be moved west.

The town received its name from the brand of Iron that was used at the blacksmith shop at the time, It having been made at the Siigo milla, In Pittsburgh. The mill probably had taken the name from a town of a similar cognomen in the western part of Ireland. Matthias O'Neall, who owned a farm south of the pike, sold to John Kimbrough an acre and a half of land, July 12, 1841, and a year later sold him three-fourths of an acre more.

256

CLINTON COUNTY, OHIO.

This was afterwards divided into smaller lots by Kimbrough and sold to various persons. Of the early residents of Bligo, there were John Kimbrough, John H. Longshore, Delos Ferris, George Slack, J. W. Slack, Allen Hazard, John H. Moore, Dr. W. W. Shepherd, Simon Hadley, Simon Harvey, Calvin Andrew. William S. Riley, Jesse Thatcher, Ira Kimbrough, John M. Brazil, Isaac Schooley, Edward S. Davis, David Thatcher, Cyrus E. Carter, Henry Harvey, Jobu P. Black, Ellbu Hambleton, Harry Hazard, Alfred Hollcraft, Jabez H. Hadley, Egbert K. Howland. William Henson and Ira Ferris. Allen Hazard, Jacob Hadley, William L. Hadley, John H. Moore and James Haney were some of the early storekeepers. Joseph W. Slack was for many years engaged in the manufacture of carriages, buggies and wagons, sometimes giving employment to as many as fifteen men.

The postoffice was established at Sligo on March 13, 1844. It remained here until September 8. 1805. The list of the postmasters who served this office during its existence are as follow : George Slack, March 13. 1844. to March 11, 1850; William Shepherd. to January 15, 1852: Allen Hazard. to October 31, 1857; Joseph W. Slack, to December 8, 1862, and William W. Shepherd, to September 8, 1865.

There has been a steady falling off in the population of all of the rural towns, and Sligo has not been an exception. At present there are about twenty-five familles in the village. W. E. Davis keops a general store and also has a buckster wagon. Marlon Wilson runs the village blacksmith shop.

OGDEN.

Ogden had no existence until some years after the building of the Cincinnati & Muskingum Valley railroad. It was first called Linden, but there was a station on the Marietta & Cincinnati road by the name of Lyndon and, in consequence, many mistakes occurred in shipping freight out of Cincinnati, causing delay and confusion in receiving goods. This name was then abandoned and Ogden substituted, being named for Ogden on the Pacitle railroad. It was made a passenger and freight station In 185, by the railroad authorities; seven hundred dollars was raised by the citizens of this vicinity and donated to the railroad company for the purpose of getting the station established at that point. the stopping place for passengers theretofore having been about half a mile farther west. at Andrew's Mill. Afterward there was some land donated to the company for stock pens, switches, etc. Asa Green deserves the praise for getting the station established here. Mr. Green erected the first building in Ogden. This was used as a station-house and store room, and has been occupied ever since as such, some additions having been added since. He also, with the assistance of some other parties of the neighborhood, put up the freight depot. A small house, built by Peyton Burton, was moved across the creek to a lot and used as a residence by John Marsh, the first station agent. John Wiseman built the second residence in Ogden. Mr. Wiseman was a miller by trade. Asa Green laid off five lots In 1857. on the south side of the railroad, on land bought by John B. Carter. In 1859. Jacob Beard built a residence, In December. 1500, Carter laid off four lots on the north side of the railroad, and As Green, five. In June, 1866, there was a church lot and five others laid off by Asn Green, making twenty in all.
