HISTORY OF COSHOCTON COUNTY.

For a number of years the expenses of the so- ciety, including the premiums, were defrayed by annual fees paid by the members. Under the present constitution any one may become a mem- ber by the payment of an annual fee of one dol- lar. About 300 members are now enrolled. The officers consist of a president, vice president, and board of twelve directors, elected by the mem- bers, and a secretary and treasurer, elected by the directors. The society has of late years experi- mented in the cultivation of wheat on the grounds, which has created quite an interest among the farmers.

There has been a diversity of opinion among the people, as well as members of the society and directors, as to the propriety of continuing pre- miums for speed horses, but the prevailing senti- ment appears to be in favor of their continuance.

The presidents of the society have been, C. F. Sangster, E. Cone, William P. Wheeler, Thomas S. Humrickhouse, James M. Burt, Heslip Wil- liams, John Miskimen, William Hanlon, J. S. El- liott, J. C. Campbell and Lewis Demoss.

The present vice president is J. P. Burt, suc- cecding H. McFadden.

The secretaries have been, James M. Burt, Samuel Ketchum, John Humrickhouse, Thomas Campbell, C. H. Johnson, W. R. Forker, L. L. Cantwell, David Lanning, George Miller and Lloyd Pocock.

Treasurers, William K. Johnson, Matthew John- ston, John A. Hanlon and Joseph L. Rue.

Andrews, William H. MeGiffen, William Morri- son, W. W. Bostwick, John Richeson, Thomas M. Wiggins, Thomas Marshall, B. F. Ricketts, John A. MeClure, John Lennon, Joseph H. Hay, R. A. Given, A. J. Randles, Joseph Burrell and C. C. Eckert.

T THE first measure taken by the county com- missioners, looking toward the crection of county buildings was to procure the construction of a suitable place of confinement for criminals. County offices might be kept at the residences or business places of the office holders, and courts could be temporarily held in any manner of structure, but strong bars and massive doors were absolutely necessary to retain the unwilling pres- enee of the border law-breakers of ISII, and these did not exist in the little hamlet, which then con- stituted Coshocton. The contract for building a county jail was sold to Adam Johnson, as the low- est bidder, June 4, 1811, for $1,397, and the build- ing was by him speedily creeted. It was thirty -. six feet long by sixteen feet wide and built of sound, oak logs, well hewn. The commissioners had been authorized by the legislature to sell the publie square, lying just south of the present square, and the proceeds arising from the sale amounting to $957.15, were used in paying for the jail. It stood on the site of the present court house.

In the board of managers, or directors, as it now is, besides the above, the following have served : A. D. Denman, Thomas Darling, Fran- cis McGuire, William Renfrew, Samuel Moore, James E. Robinson, D. L. Triplett, Frank Staf- ford, J. M. Smith, E L. Robinson, Joseph Dick- enson, Francis Wolf, Adam Piffer, John Mulli- gan, George Factor, Peter Stevenson, J. M. Den- man, William McCoy, B. C. Blackburn, Seth Christy, William Hesket, Hugh McFadden, The first courts of Coshocton county were held in the second story of Colonel Charles Williams' old tavern stand, on the northeast corner of Chest- nut and Water streets. It is said that Colonel Williams received thirty dollars a year rent for the court-room and two dollars per term for the room occupied by the jury. Ashur Hart also Saul Miller, S. C.

street. When Alexander McGowan became clerk to the commissioners in 1821, they entered into a contract with Wilson McGowan for a court- room in the building occupied by William Whit- ten, standing near the corner of Second and Main streets, the site of part of the present Central house, and the courts were held there for some four years.

In July, 1819, the contract for clearing the pub- lic square was sold to Charles Williams for nine- teen dollars and fifty cents, and at the same time Adam Johnson received the contract for building a " post and rail " fence around the square.

At a meeting of the Commissioners, June 6, 1821, it was determined to take measures for building a court house. It was agreed to send letters, under the hands of the Commissioners, to the different townships, as an address to the feel- ings of the people. The Auditor was instructed · to draw up a subscription paper for the purpose of receiving donations. According to the terms, the donations were payable in lumber, labor, pork, wheat, rye, corn or oats, at the marketable price. The County Auditor was further ordered to " cause to be published in twenty-eight hand-bills, and then distributed proportionately through the county an address," in which was set forth the need of a court house, and the lack of county funds, and appealing to public patriotism for liberal donations. Several months later it was deemed proper to receive money only in sub- scriptions, At a meeting in June, 1822, a plan for the building was settled upon. It was to be thirty-two by forty feet in size, built of brick, one story in height, and to contain a court room and two small jury rooms. Notices of the sale of contract were ordered to be inserted in the Mus- kingum Messenger and the Tuscarawas Chronicle , for three weeks, July 9 being fixed upon as the day of sale. During the same month, however, it was resolved to defer the sale until after the December meeting. Subscriptions must have been made very slowly, if at all, for in August, 1822, the Commissioners resolved that without the aid of the citizens in donating towards its erection, the same could not be effected, and sub- scriptions were again made payable in materials and produce, as well as cash. March 5, 1823, the Auditor was ordered to procure the appraisement

of all improvements on town-lots and houses for the purpose of collecting a tax therefrom to assist in the erection of the court house. April 18, 1823, was the day appointed for the sale, and shortly before it was effected the plan of the building was changed to one forty feet square, two stories high, with square roof. On the day of sale Peter Darnes was the lowest bidder, at $2,185. The Commissioners were unwilling to award at this bid, and adjourned to the next day, April 19, when the contract was given to Charles Williams, for $1,984; the Commissioners agreeing that he associate with him, as joint-contractors, Peter H. Darnes, Abraham Richards and Andrew Daugherty. An allowance of several hundred dollars was afterwards made for extra work. The building was finished in the spring of 1824. The belfry was completed in 1830, under the supervision of John Elliott. The bell, still in use in the new court house, was purchased, at the request of the Commissioners, by William K. Johnson, in 1834.

This court house remained the seat of justice for more than half a century, and, during a great part of this time, particularly in its carlier years, was used for many purposes other than those of justice. Before it was finished a grand ball was given in it. The pedagogue taught the future sovereigns here for a number of years. On the Sabbath the expounders of the various Christian creeds preached their doctrinal tenets to the as- sembled audiences, and several revivals were con- ducted here. Political orators harangued their partisan friends in heated campaigns, and, in fact, meetings of all kinds touching the public interest were held within its walls. The court house stood on the west side of the square, facing Third street.

In 1834 two one-story brick buildings, about thirty by forty in size, were erected as county of- fices, one on either side of the court house, and in a line with it, fronting on Third street. The offer of William C. Blodget was accepted for their building, the bid being $1,360.75. In 1849 an ad- ditional story was built on the north building by William McFarland for $1,334. In 1854 the south builling also received an additional story, W. H. Robinson and William Welch being the contrac- tors.

HISTORY OF COSHOCTON COUNTY.

The old log jail was replaced by another upon the same site in 1836. It was of brick, and with the sheriff's house adjoining was built by EI- dridge & McGowan, for $2,300. The present sub- stantial stone jail, located on Third street, and the sheriff's house of brick, were built in 1873. The entire cost of these buildings was about $30,000. The plan was furnished by Carpenter & Williams, of Meadville, Pennsylvania, who were consulting superintendents, John Dodd, of Roscoe, being aet- ing superintendent. The contractors were M. Johnson and A. Wimmer.

In the fall of 1872, the question of building a new court house was submitted to a vote of the people of the county, and decided in the negative by a large majority, but during the ensuing win- ter the State Legislature passed a special enabling act, and measures were taken for the erection of the building. Plans were prepared and the work superintended by Carpenter & Williams, of Mead- ville, Pennsylvania. The contract for the new building was let to S. Harold & Co., of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. The structure was turned over to the commissioners in July, 1875, the county officers moving in the latter part of that month, and the District Court sitting therein the following month. Additions, extra work, furni- ture and appliances added greatly to the cost of the building, making the sum total almost $100,000.

A farm of two hundred acres, situated two miles east of Coshocton, was purchased by the county commissioners in 1846 from W. K. John- son & Co., at fifteen dollars per acre, for the pur- pose of erecting thereon a county infirmary. Two years later, the proposal of Davis, Richardson, Chamberlain & Richardson to build the infirmary was accepted at $3,885, a previous proposal by E. Davis having failed from non-compliance of con- ditions. The building is a two-story brick, and has recently received extensive additions. An adjoining tract of land was purchased from Henry Wheeler, for $2,500, and the whole farm now amounts to nearly four hundred acres.

For some years after its organization, Coshoc- ton county was combined with Guernsey and Tuscarawas in a State senatorial district. From 1820 to 1830 the district was made up of Coshoc- ton and Tuscarawas; and after 1824, Ifolmes, which was in that year organized. Still later, Coshocton and Knox made the district. Since 1850, Coshocton and Tuscarawas have formed the district. The first citizen of Coshocton elected State senator was Wilson McGowan, serving 1821-22. Samuel Lee was senator, 1826-27; Charles Miller, 1828-29; James Ravenscraft, 1834- 36; James Matthews, 1838-39; John Johnson, 1842-43; W. F.

Fisher, 1873-74, and in 1878-79.

From 1811 to 1820 Coshocton and Tuscarawas counties were represented in the State house of representatives by a single member. Until the adoption of the present constitution in 1851, the representatives were elected annually, and where two counties were combined into. one district, they would usually alternate in presenting the Coshocton county has furnished four Congress- men. The first of these was David Spangler, who served two successive terms, from 1833 to 1837. The congressional district, which he rep- resented, comprised Coshocton, Holmes, Knox and Tuscarawas counties. James Matthews also served two terms, from 1841 to 1845. John John- son in 1851-53, and Joseph Burns in 1857-59, were the other two national representatives. member. Probably the first representative from Coshocton county was Robert Giffen, who served a single term about 1812, when the legislature met at Chillicothe. In 1814 Charles Williams was elected. This election was contested, and a new clection ordered by the legislature. It was held in January, 1815, and the people ratified their first choice. In 1816, 1818-20, and 1823 Joseph W. Pigman was chosen, and in 1817 'Squire In the State constitutional convention of 1851, this county was represented by John Johnson, and in that of 1874 by William Sample. James Humphrey.

He died in March, 1864, and James Moore was ap- pointed by the Governor to fill the vacancy in April, 1864. He was elected in October, 1866, and held the office for a term of three years. John C. Fisher was appointed a member of the Fish Commission in 1875, by Governor Allen. J. W. Dwyer was, for some time-in Delano's ad- ministration of internal revenue affairs- super- visor of internal revenue for the northern dis- triet of Ohio, with office at Coshocton. He was, at a later date, pension agent, with office at Co- lumbus. W. A. Johnson served for several years as deputy United States internal revenue asses- sor; and John Flew, James Dryden and Dr. J. H. Lee as deputy collectors.

THE building in which the first court of com- T mon pleas for Coshocton county was held is still standing. It is the desolate and dilapidated two-story frame structure near the northeast cor- ner of Water and Chestnut streets. Joining this building on the south was the log cabin, where Adam Johnson tended the store started by Hedge & Hammord. Another log cabin touched it on the north, and in it was Colonel Williams' tavern within easy access of the court. The family of Mr. Williams occupied the lower floor of the frame building, and an apartment on the upper floor, reached by an outdoor stairway, was the seene of the first forensic display in the county. This cluster of buildings was for years the most important place in the county, forming as it did a private dwelling, public house, store room, court house, meeting house, jail, fort, school house and ball room.

By the legislature the county was placed in the judicial district over which Hon. William Wil-

son of Licking county was president judge. Wil- liam Mitchell, Peter Casey and Isaac Evans, three substantial citizens of the county, had been ap- pointed associate judges. The first term of court convened April 1, 1811. " Some choice hickory wood had been cut for the occasion, and 'mine host' was doubtless in his best humor, feeling the importance of the occasion and his own import- ance as one of the head men in the new county and the host of the court. It is said new hunt- ing-shirts were plenty in town that day. It must, however, have somewhat diminished the glory of the occasion that the president judge did not put in an appearance. The three associate judges were on hand and the court 'sat' with becoming dignity." The term was of the briefest possible duration, as there was little or no court business to transact. The associate judges produced their commissions and legal qualifications and took their seats. Adam Johnson was appointed clerk pro tem. and recorder for a term of seven years, the election of a justice of the peace in each of the townships of Tuscarawas, Washington and New Castle and of two in Franklin township was or- dered, and the court adjourned sine die.
