Mr. Whinnery met with an accidental death, Aug. 28, 1870, while at work at his threshing-machine, and since that time his widow has resided upon her farm, cheered by the loving com- panionship of her parents and her children.


HANNAH K. ENTRIKEN.


This venerable resident of Butler township comes of a hardy race, whose representative in the pioneer history of Ohio was John Whin- nery, an early settler in Butler, and the father of Mrs. Entriken.


She was born in that township June 1, 1815, and until her seven- teenth year divided her time between a brief attendance at school and rendering assistance in the domestic duties of her father's household. Jan. 18, 1882, she was married to Isaac Kelly, of Franklin Square, and removed at once with her husband to his farm. She became the mother of five children, as follows: Wil- liam, born August, 1838, and living near Winona; Zimri, born July 10, 1835, now living in Iowa; Moses, born July 27, 1837, and killed in 1864, during the Rebellion, while engaged, as a mem- ber of the 6th Ohio Cavalry, in a skirmish with the enemy ; Phoebe Ann, born Dec. 19, 1845, and died 1878; John, who died at the age of five. Mr. Kelly died in 1851, and Jan. 13, 1857, his widow married Samuel Entriken, living near New Lisbon. There, on her husband's farm, Mrs. Entriken passed the days of her second married life, until December, 1875, when death deprived her a second time of her conjugal companion. Of her last marriage there was no issue.


Since Mr. Entriken's death she has resided with her son William near Winona, and now in the evening of life enjoys a quiet repose and freedom from the bustling cares which earlier employed her active existence. In 1887 she became a member of the Disciples' church, and her allegiance to that faith has to this time, for a space of forty-two years, remained true and steadfast.

TOWNSHIP OF CENTRE.


The meeting-house was built in 1839, and opened in January, 1840.


In 1854, when the separation occurred among Friends throughout the country, this society also felt its disturbing influence, and the Gurneyites and Wilburites became dis- tinct organizations. They worship in the same meeting- house, but at different hours. The Gurneyites number about 70, and the Wilburites 270.


About 1870 there were six distinct societies of Friends at Winona and Salem, each claiming to hold to the original faith,- Hicksites, Gurneyites, Wilburites, Kollites, Dr. Kite's meeting, and the Remnants.


METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.


Meetings had been held several years before the organiza- tion of this church at the house of Lewis Jobes. Mr. -- Wells preached occasionally, and at other times the society was served by ministers from Sulem.


About 1855 meetings were held in the school-house at Damascus, and a class organized with Philip Barger and wife, Mrs. Nancy Little, Miss Elizabeth Little, John Kerr and wife, Clement Kerr and wife, and James Kerr and wife as members. Rev. Mr. Eaton was the first pastor, who was succeeded by the Revs. Kineer, Storer, Williams, Jack-


son, McCarthy, Brown, J. M. Bray, A. J. Lang, George Crook, and G. W. Anderson, the present pastor. An edifice was erected in 1857, and in 1871 was repaired at a cost of $800. They have about 80 members and a Sunday- school of 60 pupils, of which Dr. S. F. Bullinger is super- intendent.


BURYING GROUNDS.


The burying-ground at Damascus, situated near the meeting-house of the Friends, was the first in the township. Henry Woolf presented five acres of land for burial pur- poses, situated on the northwest quarter of section 30. No burial has taken place within this cemetery for a number of years, but within its quiet inclosure many of " the rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep."


TOWNSHIP-HOUSE.


A township-house was first built in Butler about 1842, on the school-house-lot, near the centre of the town, and half a mile south of Middleton. It was built in connec- tion with the school-house of the district, a partition only separating the two. In 1876 a lot was purchased adjoining the first site on the north, and a substantial brick edifice, 16 by 24 feet in size, erected thercon.


CENTRE.


TOWNSHIP No. 14, in range 3, of the government sur- veys, received the name of "Centre" in 1803, soon after the organization of the county, from its occupying a cen- tral position. Its proportions remain as surveyed, and the boundary townships are : on the north, Salem ; on the east, Elk Run ; on the south, Wayne and Franklin ; and on the west, Hanover. The surface of the township in general is broken by many steep and, in a few instances, almost pre- cipitous hills. The northern part of the township is more fertile than the southern, and the land along the larger streams is very productive. The soil near the streams is alluvial; in other situations it is either a stiff clay or clay- loam with an admixture of sand and gravel. In general, the soil is adapted to the common grasses and cereals. Some of the less fruitful hills are yet in a state of nature, and are timbered with the common varieties of wood and occasional clusters of pines. The latter was formerly abun- dant along the streams. The middle fork of Beaver Creek enters the township from Salem, near the east line of section 5, and, having a general southeast course, passes out on the south line of section 13. It has a rocky bed, and its course is marked by a deep and rugged channel. Its chief affluent is Mill Seat Brook, flowing south nearly parallel with the west line of sections 1 and 12. Travers- ing the entire length of the township from north to south near the west line is Cold Run, so called from the nature of the springs which supply it with pure and sparkling


water. The upper part of its course is through pleasant meads, but in the southern part of the township it is closely hemmed by hills and has a rocky channel. A mile above the point where it leaves the township it receives the waters of the west fork of the Beaver, and is known by that name below the junction. There are other small brooks in the township, and numerous springs.


The mineral resources of the township are rich and varied. Coal is found in almost every locality, and along Middle Beaver an excellent quality of iron-ore is abundant. Here, also, are vast deposits of cement and quarries of ex- cellent building-stone, as well as petroleum and saline springs. Some of these have been developed, and yield con- siderable revenue. Fire- and potter's clays are also found.


PIONEER SETTLERS.


No very complete and accurate data concerning the beginning of the settlement of the township can be obtained. Those who first came and their descendants have passed away, and no account of their connection with the history of Centre has been preserved. The first permanent settle- ment at New Lisbon was probably made by Lewis Kinney and his associates about 1802. Mr. Kinney purchased what now constitutes the village site, and built his first cubin about where Mr. Arter's tannery now stands, 1879. He sold the property in 1805, and removed to a place on the Salem road, and afterwards to Missouri. Wm. Slater

lived first east of New Lisbon, where he had a small pow- der-mill. In 1808 he purchased a part of the Kinney tract, and platted an addition of out-lots to New Lisbon on the west. James and Hugh Broady lived on the Salem road, and James Driscoll aud Samuel and Thomas Davis in cabins along the creek. All these had gone to begin life elsewhere as pioneers before 1825.


Christian Smith was a settler who remained longer. He came in the early part of 1803, and opened a tavern in a log house. He soon erected a substantial stone hotel, which he conducted with credit several years, when he, also, re- moved. The same year came Gen. Reasin Beall, Joseph Stibbs, and Thomas Cox, all of whom were active citizens until they removed to Wooster, about 1815.


In 1804, Thomas Rowland and Wm. Harbaugh came from Brownsville, Pa., and set up a saddler's shop. Row- land was a single man, and became quite well known as a captain in the war of 1812. After that struggle he re- moved to Detroit. Harbaugh remained, and reared sons named Dennis, Springer, William, and Jacob. Jacob is now living in the vicinity. Daniel Harbaugh, a brother, came the same year, and also resided here until his death. He had sons uamed Jonathan, David, John, Daniel; and Rowland ; some of them are yet in the township. Daniel Harbaugh was judge in early days, and his son David, who removed to Detroit, became a judge at that place.


John Arter came in 1805, and purchased Lewis Kinney's reserve, on which he began a tannery. He died in 1808, leaving three sons,-Jacob, who is still living at New Lisbon, and Michael and David, both of whom removed to Hanover, where the latter yet lives. The same year Jacob Shawk moved to New Lisbon, and lived there until his death. Hle had four sons,-Jacob, Henry, Thomas, and Samuel. Also came Dr. Horace Potter, who had sons named Horace and Ephraim, and Fisher A. Blocksom, a lawyer, who lived in the place until the latter part of 1876. Mr. Blocksom had two daughters and four sons,-William, James, Jackson, and Fisher, the latter being the only sur- vivor.


In 1806, Frederick Shultz removed to New Lisbon, where he died in 1864, leaving two sons,-Martin H. and David C., who are yet citizens of the place. David Graham was in New Lisbon as a merchant about 1806. He died soon after 1812 from a discase contracted in the army. In the same year, 1806, cane David Hostetter, and opened a tavern. His son, William, became a sheriff of the county, and is now eighty years of age. His son, William M., is the present sheriff of the county. About the same time John Small became a resident, rearing two sons, -David and Samuel. Dr. John Thompson and his sons,-Joseph and E. J.,-Justus and George Stoughton, and George Endley, all came in 1806 or 1807. In the lutter part of 1806 George Duck became a citizen of New Lisbon, and there reared three sons,-Samuel, Jesse, and George,-all of whom became useful citizens. This year also came Alex- ander Snodgrass. He reared sons named Bazaleel and Presley.


In 1807, Dr. Joseph Springer settled in New Lisbon, and lived there until his death. His sons were named Joseph, John, Henry, Samuel, and Daniel. The last two


are still living in the village. About the same time, Hol- land Green, Michael Stock,-father of John, Henry, and Samuel,-John Watson,-having sons named John, Jacob, William, David, and Samuel,-and Mordecai Moore, be- came a part of the population of New Lisbon. Mr. Moore removed to Yellow Creek after a few years.


In 1807, also, Dr. John D. Gloss, Caleb and Thornton Whitacre, and Caleb Hays, brother-in-law of the Whit- acres, found homes at this place. The last three engaged in milling. George Crowl and his sons,-Francis, Jacob, and George,-and John L. Thompson and his son Samuel settled in New Lisbon in the year last named.


In May, 1807, Rev. Clement Vallandigham settled in the village, and lived during the latter part of his life in the red-brick house on West Walnut Street, not far from the Cunton bridge, where he died in 1839. He reared sons named James L, Clement L. (the distinguished Ohio politician),. John L., II., and George S., who was for many years a physician in the place. This year also came Nicholas Kurtz, a wheelmaker, who had sons named David and Michael, and John and Henry Croft, mechanics.


In 1808, Martin Helman took up his abode in the vil- lage, and remained until his death; in October, 1845. He had a son, Charles, who became a well-known druggist, and other sons, named William, Stephen, and Jacob. A little later in that year came William D. Lepper, who began the publication of the first newspaper in the county, The Ohio Patriot. He had sons named William D. and Ed- ward F., and three daughters. That year also came Gideon Hughes, a Quaker, who soon after started the "Rebecca Furnace," naming it for his wife. Failing in business, he removed to the western part of the State and joined the Shakers. Among the men employed at the furnace were John McNeal and Charles, Benjamin, and Nicholas Wilson.


David Scott came about 1809, and built a house on the site now occupied by C. M. Aten's residence. He had a son named Joseph. Joseph Richardson came about the same time, and became well known in the village as a merchant. His sons were Jason, Albert, Samuel, Frank, Joseph, and William. Peter Baker settled near the vil- lage in this year, and a year later came Col. Jacob Harper, who lived in the village until his death, in 1878.


Peter Roach became a citizen of New Lisbon in 1816. He had sons named Benjamin, Thomas, Samuel, Peter, John, Andrew, William, James, and Bernard. About this period James Mckinley found employment at the furnace. He had sons named William and John. The latter is the father of the present Congressman, the Hon. William Mo- Kinley.


In 1813, John Briggs settled at New Lisbon. He came to the county in 1804 and settled in Middleton township, and in 1808 removed to Salem. He had sons named John and Mahlon, the latter now a merchant in the village.

At a later day George Gruham became a resident of the village, reuring sons named John B., George, James, and Albert, all promising young men. A year or so luter Benjamin Hunna moved to the village from Columnbiana, and died on the place now occupied by John Spence. He had sons named Joshua, Leonard, Robert, Kersey, Levi, Benjamin, and Thomas, nearly all of whom are yet living, most of them in Cleveland. George McCook and his fam- ily, consisting of seven daughters and two sons, David and George, settled in New Lisbon about this period, 1816.


Among the earliest settlers in the northeastern part of the township was Thomas Frederick. He came in 1804 and located on section 12. He reared sons named Jacob, George, Thomas, Henry, William, Noah, John, and Sam- uel. Byron Frederick, a son of Samuel, is now a resident of that section. Most of this numerous family have re- moved. Among the pioneers in that locality were Fred- crick Bleeker, Andrew Brinker and his sons,-Peter, John, Andrew, and Henry,-Jonathan Hamilton, William Paul, Michael Mowry, Harmon Fagan, Jehu Powell, and Jacob and Conrad Worman, who came as early as 1808. A son of Jacob Worman-Samuel-is now a resident of section 4.


In the western part of the township settlements were made about 1808 by Gabriel Laird, Frederick Crubaugh, Robert Blackledge, Jesse and Conrad Brandeberry, George Lee, Henry Harlan, Andrew Kuhn, and Martin Breiden- stein. Some of these died in the township, but most re- moved. On the place now occupied by Peter Willard, on section 19, William B. Randolph was an early settler. He had sons named John and Thompson. James Rodgers was the pioneer on the farm where lives James Frantz, on sec- tion 20; John Golden, on the Albert Chandler place; Jonathan Pierpont, on the J. B. Frost pluce; William Biggs, near William Burbeck's; and Joseph Burson, on the place now owned by J. B. Ritchey.


On section 29, George Schnellenberger was a pioneer, but removed early. In 1808 the Koffel family became citizens of Columbiana County, and Samuel Koffel is now a resi- dent. of this section. Jacob Springer and Peter Glessner were among the first on section 30.


Andrew Pollock settled first on section 29, but soon re- moved to the Gaskill neighborhood. He had two sons, John and James. The latter is now a resident of section 32. Among the first in this part of the township was Daniel Lindersmith, on the northeast quarter of section 31. He there early erected a good stone house, which is yet standing, and is occupied by his son Joseph. Other sons were Daniel and Samuel. On the same section William Young was an early settler. The farm occupied by Isaac


Hastings, who came about 1815, was tenanted by a man named Gould.


James McClellan settled on section 32 in 1814, where he reared sons named Samuel, William, Robert, James L., John, and Thomas, who is now the occupant of the home- stead. The Thompson and Ramsey places, on section 32, were cleared up by a man named Samuel De Armon.


On section 33, Arthur Burbeck settled in 1809, and there reared sons named John, Duvid, Isaac, Joseph, James, and William, who resides at the homestead. At a later day Thomas Patterson settled on the same section, on the place occupied by his son James.


Peter Springer early owned and lived on the northeast quarter of section 21, where he kept a tavern. His sons, John and Jacob, yet live in that locality. In 1809, Joshua Chandler found a home on section 20, where he died in .1861. He reared four daughters, and sons named Morgan, Hiram, Eli, Clark, Albert, and Jesse, most of whom are yet residents of the western part of the township.


On section 17 the Mason family took a place among the pioneers, but removed years ago. On section 8, George Rudisill resided, and farther east lived George Atterholt, both early and prominent settlers. In the spring of 1806, John J. Bowman located on the south part of section 8, where he lived until his death, in 1864. He was a son-in- law of Rev. John Stough, and reared sons named Jonas, John, Philip, Samuel, and Joshua. The last two named reside on this section. Rev. John Stough was probably the first Lutheran minister to cross the Alleghanies. He came to the western part of Pennsylvania in 1795. In the fall of 1806 he settled on section 8, near the present Bowman Mills, and lived there until 1827, when he removed. His sons were named Samuel, Jehu, Jonas, John, George, and Jesse. The first two became physicians. About the same time Davidson Filson settled in that part of the township, where he reared sons named Robert, James, John, Samuel, and William, the latter yet living on section 7. Other early settlers in that vicinity were John Hester and John Votaw.


In the southeastern part of the township, among the early settlers were Joab Gaskill, in 1806, who had sons,- Samuel, Joab. David, Abraham, and Josiah ; Robert Mor- rison, who came a little later, and had sons,- William, Dan- iel, John, and Freeman, who is living on section 25; and Obadiah Campbell, the father of John Campbell.


The condition of the settlements in the township in 1826 is clearly shown in the appended lists of householders pre- pared by the trustees for school purposes :
