R. HI. Strowbridge, who came in 1840, says that Abram Farr was still keeping tavern at Euclid creek, and there were three stores at that point; those of John Bishop, Chas. Farr and Nelson Moses. The township was still somewhat thickly settled in the southern part, adjoining Warrensville. Stone-quar- ries had recently been opened near the present ones on Enelid ereck, by James Hendershot, Madison Sherman and HInsong, but were not worked much. Madison Sherman had the first mill for cutting stone.
We have now passed through the more interesting part of the township's life, the era of its transmuta- tion from a wilderness into an agricultural com- munity, and must proceed with greater speed over the remaining portion. In 1847 the western part of Euclid was annexed to the newly formed township of East Cleveland, reducing the former to its present limits. By 1850 the township was well settled in all its parts, though still showing some of the marks of newness and roughness.
In 1852 the opening of the Cleveland, Painesville and Ashtabula railroad (since become a part of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern road) extending for five miles and a half through the present town- ship of Euclid, gave it still greater similarity to an old settled country. By 1860 the transient observer would never have guessed that only forty years before
EUCLID.
Euclid was the congenial home of the deer, the bear, the wolf and the deadly rattlesnake. All wore the appearance of smiling repose and unbounded plenty.
But treason and slavery, more deadly foes than wolf or rattlesnake, were about to assail the country. and Euclid, like all the rest of the land, was obliged to send forth her gallant sons to defend the nation's life. The records of both their deeds and their names will be found with their respective regiments in the general history of the county.
Since the war more changes have been carried out in Euchd than in almost any other township in the county. Grape-culture has become a very important industry. It was begun in a small way near Collamer about 1855, but did not attain much consequence until after the war. We are indebted for some facts regard- ing it to Mr. Lonis Harris, one of the largest grape- growers in the township. Mr. Harris was the first man who planted a vineyard on Put-in-Bay island, but becoming sati-tied that Euclid was a much superior locality for that purpose heremoved thither. He has no hesitation in saying that that is the best locality for Delaware grapes in the whole State of Ohio.
It requires three years for a vineyard to get into bearing order. There has been but one year in the history of Euclid grape-culture, in which vineyards of that age or older did not bear. There are about two hundred and twenty acres of vineyards in the town- ship, devoted to Concord, Catawba, Delaware, Martha, Ives, Diana and Hartford Prolific grapes: the Con- cords and Catawbas being the principal varieties raised. The Concords produce about three tons per acre, the Catawbas two tons, the Delawares two, the Marthas two, the Dianas two and a half, the Ives four. and the Hartford Prolifics no less than five tons per acre.
An especially good characteristic of the Euclid vine- yards is the fact that the vines require no protection during the winter; the slatestone of the soil produc- ing strong hardy wood for the vines, impervious to all the winds that blow on lake or land. The poorest soil for grain is the best for grapes. Land which, as Mr. Harris said, would not raise wheat enough to feed the grasshoppers, has produced good crops of grapes for ten years in succession. The principal market is found in Cleveland, but large quantities are shipped to Chicago, Cincinnati and Louisville. Besides the grapes sold in bulk, considerable quantities are made into wine by Mr. Harris and others in Euclid, and thence sent away for sale.
The stone business, too. has become an important one within the last twelve years. The quarries worked forty years ago had been substantially abandoned, on account of the supposed impracticability of compet- ing with the Berea stone. In 1867, however, Mr. Duncan McFarland opened a quarry on Euclid creek, not far from the old ones, and since then the business has rapidly increased in consequence.
James and Thomas MeFarland opened the first
quarry on the west side of the creek in 18:1. In 1815 they sold ont to the Forest City Stone Company, opened a quarry on the east side and built a mill for entting the stone into slabs. They now run three gangs of saws and employ about fifteen hands, mostly in producing flagging stone, though some building stone, etc., is quarried.
The Forest City Stone Company employ twenty- five men, and are doing a very extensive business. Their mill is in Cleveland.
Maxwell Brothers (now MeBride, Maxwell & Ma- lone) opened a quarry and built a very large mill on Nine Mile Creek in 18;3. They run six gangs of saws, with about twenty men. They use Ingersoll's steam drill, carrying steam eleven hundred feet into the quarry for that purpose, and thus driving the drill twenty inches into the solid rock in three min- utes.
There is also a steam-mill. for sawing stone, at Nottingham, built and owned by Slosson & Mecker. It has four gangs of saws, principally employed in cutting flagging stone.
The village once known as East Enclid, or Enclid Creek, but now more properly designated as Euclid. contains one church, a fine school-honse, two stores, one hotel, one steam basket-factory, one wagon shop. one shoe-shop, two blacksmith shops, and abont thirty houses. It has not grown very rapidly of late, finding a rival in Nottingham, another small village which has grown up since 1852 on the Lake Shore railroad, three-fourths of a mile to the northward. The latter has two stores, one wagon-shop, one feed- mill, one stone-mill, one shoe-shop, two blacksmith- shops, and also about thirty houses.
Nearly the whole of Euclid township was incorpor- ated " for special purposes, " under the laws of Ohio, in April, 1812, when L. B. Smith, William Robbins and Louis Harms were elected trustees, and J. Day was appointed clerk. In April, 18;8, L. B. Smith was re-elected for three years. But the corporate ex- istenee of Enelid was very brief, for at the election in October, 1828, the people voted to surrender their corporate privileges, and revert to the rural condition of their forefathers.
There is a commodious town-hall, built of brick, situated at Euclid village. In the south part of the township there is a framed building called Temper- ance Hall. It was built in 18; by subscription, and is used for meetings of various kinds, especially for those of Cliff Division, No. 98, of the Sons of Tem- perance. The division was organized in August of that year and contains about fifty members.
A part of the village of Collinwood, which has grown up since the war, on the Lake Shore railroad, is also in Euclid: the main street of the village being the line between that township and East Cleveland. Ax, however, the greater part of the village is in East Cleveland, it will be more fully described in the his- tory of that township.

THE TOWNSHIPS OF CUYAHOGA COUNTY.
EUCLID BAPTIST CHURCH. *
On the 27th day of April, 1820, six brethren and five sisters were recognized by a council, duly called, as the regular Baptist church of Euclid. Luther Dille was the first deacon. Of those eleven members none remain alive; Calvin Dille, who died in 1875, being the last survivor. Previous to the date first given there had for several years been Baptist preach- ing in Euclid by Elder Goodell and others, but no church organization. Elder Azariah Hanks, whose wife was one of the constituent members, united by letter at the first meeting of the church, became its pastor, and continued so for about four years. His labors during the first year were singularly successful, no less than forty-three persons. besides the eleven constituent members, uniting by baptism, and eight by letter, during the remaining eight months of 1824. Ten united on the 3d of June following the organi- zation, of whom Deacon Seth D. Pelton is the only sur- vivor, being the oldest living member of the church.
In September of that year Elder Hanks, Deacon Dille and Mr. Libbey were sent as delegates to request the admission of the church into the Grand River As- sociation and to represent it when admitted. It was so admitted, and (except during two years when it belonged to Huron association) remained in the Grand River body until 1834. when it entered the Rocky River association, of which it has ever since been a member.
The jurisdiction of the church seems to have ex- tended over a goodly portion of the Western Reserve, meetings being held at East Euclid, at Newburg, fre- ¿quently at Chagrin river, and sometimes at S. D. Pel- ton's residence on the ridge, near the site of the stone quarries, But the principal headquarters of the church were at Enclid creek, and there in January, 1821, the members voted to build "a framed house of worship on land given by John Wilcox, thirty feet square, with posts fifteen feet long, a gallery in front of the desk, ten feet wide, two doors opposite the desk, two aisles and thirty-six pews on the lower floor." It was first voted that the pews should be sold for twelve dollars cach; afterwards that they should be sold at auction, "twenty per cent. to be paid in ashes in advance, and the balance by the first of January next in grain." Wheat was then $1. rye 45 cents and corn 50 cents per bushel. Nothing could more clearly show the scarcity of money and the primitive customs of those times than this extract.
John Wilcox, Wm. Treat and S. D. Pelton were the building committee, and the structure is believed to have been erected during the ensuing year. In 1822 the church employed Elder Hanks as pastor two- thirds of the time for two hundred bushels of wheat. The next year, becoming more wealthy, they voted to pay him three hundred bushels per year, appar- ently for the whole of his time.
No subsequent year has been so fruitful in conver- sions as the first one of Elder Hanks' pastorate.
The church maintained its original strength, but did not greatly increase in numbers. In 1838 Solo- mon Dimick was the pastor, and during that year seventeen were added to the church. Twenty-eight were baptized in 1843, under the labors of Elder Crocket, though apparently there was no regular pastor at that time.
The church was incorporated, under a special aet of the legislature, on the 12th of March, 1844, doubt- less preparatory to the erection of a new house of worship. The latter was begun in 1845, being, like the former one, erected on land donated by John Wilcox. It was to be of brick, about thirty-six feet by forty-eight, and the trustees were to finish it "as fast as the church furnish funds." This was slow work; the time for payment in ashes and wheat was passed, but cash was still hard to obtain, and the house was so long in building that it was used for several years in an unfinished state, and was never formally dedicated. It was, however, at last com- pleted, and has been occupied by the church to the present time.
During the latter part of its existence, the church has maintained the same moderate degree of pros- perity which had previously distinguished it. In 1846, under the pastorate of Elder Wilder, twenty- five were added by baptism, and, in 1849, under Elder Andrews, ten were expelled from the church. In 1864, when Elder Phillips was the minister, there were twenty-three baptized, but this large increase was succeeded by ten absolutely barren years, reaching from 1865 to 185, in which there was not a single addi- tion to the membership.
There are now a little over fifty members, almost exactly the same as there were at the end of the first year of the church's history. The present officers are as follows: Pastor, S. B. Webster: deacons, S. D. Pelton, John Aiken; clerk, J. S. Charles; trustees, Henry Priday, L. J. Neville, S. S. Langshare; clerk of society, Warren Gardner.
ST. JOHN'S CONGREGATION (GERMAN EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN).
In 1845, and the following years, a few German families settled in the southern part of Euclid and the southeastern part of East Cleveland townships. In 1852 these people, then comprising about twelve families, though as yet unorganized, bought an aere of land near the old stone school-house, on the State road, on which they creeted a small framed building for a meeting-house and school-house. In 1853 they formed themselves into a church, with the title above given, and called Rev. II. Kuehn to the pastorate. The next year they bought ten and a half acres more of land adjoining their former purchase, and in 1854 they built a residence for the pastor upon it.
By 1860 the congregation had increased to about twenty families, and in that year the Rev. Mr. Kuehn

EUCLID.
was succeeded by Rev. A. Ernst. In 1862 the present large and convenient church editice was erected. the old one being thenceforth used only as a school-house.
The next year Mr. Ernst was succeeded by Rev. F. W. Husmann, from Fort Wayne. Indiana, who has ever since acted as the pastor. From that time to the present the church has steadily increased, there being now fifty families with over three hundred members.
The school has always been an object of anxious solieitude to the congregation, religious instruction being carefully inculcated in it, besides the ordinary branches of education, and German and English reading and writing. The pastors themselves taught the school until about four years ago, when, owing to the increased numbers of both church and school. a separate teacher was employed, Mr. H. Lassner hav- ing since acted in that capacity.
The deacons and trustees are as follows: Ernest Klaustermeier, Ernest Melcher and Fr. Melcher, of Enelid: Fr. Rolf and Henry Dremann. of East Cleveland, and Henry Klaustermeier, of Mayfield.
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF NOTTINGHAM.
This church was organized about 1820, and, al- though there were but twelve or thirteen members. yet their zeal was such that they built a framed house of worship immediately after the organization. The Rev. Franklin MeGinniss supplied the pulpit for about two years. Since then Rev. M. A. Sackett has performed the same duty, although the weakness of the congregation has prevented it from sustaining constant services.
ST. PAUL'S ( ATHOLIC) CHURCH.
This church was organized in the spring of 1861. the church editiee, situated between Nottingham and Euclid village, being completed in November of that year. Rev. Edward Harman was the first pastor, but did not reside in the township. He was succeeded in 1863 by Rev. Francis Salon, and he in 1865 by Rev.
Anthony Martin, the first resident pastor, who has ever since ocenpied that position. The same year a parsonage and a cemetery were purchased, and in 1867 a parochial school was established. St. Joseph Chapel, Collinwood, was separately organized in 18;1. but is under the care of the same pastor. St. Paul's church now includes about seventy families, and fifty children attend its parochial school.
