The Hall is now in Mr. Platt's building, on State street, near High.
Columbus Lodge, No. 9, numbers at this time, about one hundred and forty members. It has a large surplus fund, and is able at all times to meet any and all de- mands upon it, which arise from sickness or accident to its members.
170
HISTORY OF
Central Lodge, No. 23, was instituted in Columbus, on the second day of December, 1843. The original members were Thomas Stitt, Thomas Bown, David Over- dier, Alex. E. Glenn, James Aston, William K. Carr, Mo- ses Altman and Francis La Chapelle, most of whom with- drew from Columbus Lodge to organize this new branch. It met in the same Hall, and increased rapidly in mem- bership, and at present numbers about two hundred and sixty members.
Evening Star Lodge, No. 104, was instituted at Dub- lin, on the second day of March, 1848. Among its original members were Zenas Hutchinson, Alexander Thompson, E. M. Pinney, Holmes Sells, Jas. K. Thomas and Miles Pinney. The Lodge has been exceedingly prosperous, and at least three Lodges have grown out of it.
Excelsior Lodge, No. 145, was the next in the county, and was organized in the city of Columbus, on the twenty-second day of February, 1850. F. K. Hulburd, George G. Comstock, James B. Stockton, Ira M. Gorton, and Nathan B. Marple, were among the first members, and it has been very prosperous, numbering at present about one hundred and fifty members. The three Lodges in Columbus occupy the same Hall, being joint tenants,

and owners in common of the Hall, furniture and fix- tures ; and all working together in harmony and peace.
Gordian Lodge, No. 205, was instituted at Groveport, on the eleventh of February, 1853. The petitioners for this Lodge were George McCormick, Edmund Gares, J. K. Low, George P. Champ, and G. S. Smith. It soon added to its numbers some of the best citizens of the village and neighborhood, and has increased to a respec- table membership - has a neat Hall, and about forty members.
Ark Lodge, No. 270, was instituted in the village of Worthington, on the sixteenth of April, 1855. The pe- titioners for the Charter were James M. Fuson, Isaac Thompson, Isaac N. Case, Anson Mattoon, Wm. H. Skeels, and A. S. Wood; and it has since added many of the best citizens of Sharon township, and is in all re- spects what may be termed a good Lodge. It has at present about fifty members. ¢
Rainbow Lodge, No. 270, was instituted in the village of Westerville, on the 7th of August, 1857. The peti- tioners were C. A. Vananda, J. W. Jameson, A. G. Ste- phenson, David Zeik, and Theophilus Jones. This is a new Lodge, but has increased in numbers until it now has about twenty-five members.
172
HISTORY, ETC.
In addition to the Lodges, there are two Encamp- ments of Odd Fellows, located at Columbus and Dublin.
Capitol Encampment, No. 6, was instituted in Decem- ber, 1843, and has about one hundred and fifty members.
Johanan Encampment, No. 57, at Dublin, was institu- ted in August, 1853, and has about thirty members.
The Lodges and Encampments have a regular system of relief for sick and distressed members - not only of their own, but of other Lodges, and expend annually a large sum in relief of their members, and of widows and orphans. Of the latter class, there is now quite a num- ber in the county that are well provided for by the Lodges.

CHAPTER XIII.
FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP.
THIS is the oldest township in the county, and the only one of the four original townships that retains its name. It was laid out and organized when the county was, in 1803. It then contained about twice as much territory as the whole county now does. Its first set- tlement' was the town of Franklinton and vicinity, which has been noticed in the first and subsequent Chapters of this work. Then the settlement extended down the river ; and amongst the first families to settle there were those of Samuel White, John Huffman, Wm. Harrison, sr., and a few others. The township was not reduced to its present limits until after the creation of Jackson in 1815, and of Prairie in 1819. The town of Franklinton has not varied much in population and business for the last forty years. It has always been, to a great extent, a town of farmers and laborers, who lived in the town and worked Mr. Sullivant's extensive prairie fields, or were engaged in stone-quarrying,
..
174
HISTORY OF
hauling, etc. For the last ten or twelve years there has been an extensive business done in this township in the raising, curing and shipping of broom corn, by Captain P. N. White and C. L. Eaton, Esq. The town and township have been the theater for sportsmen. The race courses have always been in this township, generally in some of the large prairie fields adjacent to the town, but latterly at the Four-Mile House, so called, but still in the township, where a fine race course was fitted up some eight or ten years since, and still kept for sporting characters to practice their nags upon.
In the vicinity of the town is a large milling estab- lishment, erected by Lucas Sullivant, Esq., in his life time, and now owned and worked by some half dozen men, under the name of the " Ohio Manufacturing Com- pany." From one to two miles below Franklinton on the Scioto are Moler's mills and carding machine, erected by John Ransburgh, about the years 1813-14, and which were long known as " Ransburgh's mills."
On the bank of the river in the north vicinity of the town is the old Franklinton burying ground. It embraces a beautiful little locust grove, enclosed with a board fence. This, it was supposed, was to be the final resting place of the pioneers who led the way in the settlement of this once wilderness. But of late years a number of removals have been made from thence
175

to Green Lawn, amongst whom were the remains of Lucas Sullivant and wife, Lyne Starling, and General Foos and wife. But still the Franklinton graveyard is rather a neat and handsome village cemetery, and is as well calculated to call up a train of solemn and inter- esting reflections as any other spot of ground in the county.
In 1840, the population of this township, including the town of Franklinton, was 1510. In 1850, it was 1827. In 1853, the township was divided into ten school districts, and contained an aggregate of 716 youth between the ages of five and twenty-one years. In 1857, the aggregate of such youth was, agreeably to the returns, 676.

CHAPTER XIV.
SHARON TOWNSHIP.
THE Township of Sharon consists of a small part of what was once Liberty Township. It is just five miles square, and is known on the maps as township two, in range eighteen. It was established by its present name the 4th of March, 1806. Its first settlement was com- menced in the spring of 1803, by the Scioto Company, as related in the first Chapter of this work.
In 1804, the town of Worthington was laid out. In 1805, the Worthington Post Office was first established, and William Robe# was appointed the first Postmaster in 1805.
* Mr. Robe was a dwarf, or man of remarkably small size, not weigh- ing more than from fifty to sixty pounds in ordinary health. He was well proportioned and neat in his appearance ; a well educated man, and gentlemanly in his manners. He was a teacher in the Worthing- ton Seminary - afterward a clerk in the State Auditor's office. He died in January, 1823, aged about forty-five years.

In 1811, the Worthington Manufacturing Company was incorporated. Col. Kilbourne was the President and general agent of the Company. They made some good improvements on the factory ground (so called) and about the year 1813 or '14 they went extensively into business. They not only manufactured woolen cloth, but carried on various other mechanical branches. They also engaged largely in the mercantile business, and in banking. They had their stores in Worthington, Franklinton and Columbus, and their bank notes in gen- eral circulation. The Company, however, eventually
181
FRANKLIN COUNTY.
failed, and the whole concern went down about the years 1819 and '20.
About the time the Manufacturing Company went into operation, the first newspaper, ever published in Franklin County was commenced at Worthington. It was called the Western Intelligencer. It is noticed under the head of Newspapers - Chapter IV.
In 1835, the town of Worthington was incorporated, and in the spring of 1836, the corporation organized by the election of the following officers, to wit :
Mayor, James Kilbourne ; Recorder, G. H. Griswold ; Trustees, Samuel Abbott, Wn. Bishop, Ira Metcalf, A. H. Pinney, Wm. S. Spencer, and R. W. Cowles; Treas- urer, Levi Pinney ; Marshal, Chauncey Barker; Street Commissioner, Abner P. Pinney ; Dayton Topping and D. W. Harrington, Fire Wardens.

CHAPTER XV.
MONTGOMERY TOWNSHIP.
Tms township is about equal to four and a half miles square ; is the western township in the Refugee Lands, bounded by the Scioto, and in which the city of Colum- bus is situated. It was organized as a township in 1807; had originally been a small part of Liberty Township. The first settlements made in the present township limits were along Alum Creek, about the year 1799. On the 4th of July, 1800, Mr. William White, who is still liv- ing in the township, arrived with his father, John White and family, from Pennsylvania, and settled on the farm now owned and occupied by Mr. George White. They then found living on the creek, George Turner and fan- ily, William Hamilton and family, James Johnston and family, and David Nelson (the elder) and family. In 1804, Col. Edward Livingston settled in the same neigh- borhood. About this time, Andrew Culbertson settled in the south-west corner of the township, near where the
187
FRANKLIN COUNTY.
starch factory now stands. And as early as 1801 or '2, John Hunter settled on Whetstone, north of Columbus, and soon after William Shaw, John Starr (the elder), Nathaniel Hamlin and John McGown, afterward propri- etor of South Columbus.
In 1812, the town of Columbus was laid out, and nearly all events worthy of note other than the ordinary improvement of farms, were connected with the town. With the exception of Mr. Nelson's and Mr. Eberly's mills there was no manufacturing establishment in this township (outside of Columbus) until the erection of the starch factory. In 1843, Messrs. C. Colgate and J. J. Wood, having purchased N. Gregory's distillery and grounds, converted the same into a starch factory and commenced the manufacturing of starch under the firm of "C. Colgate & Co." In 1846, Colgate's interest was transferred to Sumner Clark, and the business continued by Clark and Wood until 1849, when Mr. Wood bought out Clark's interest, and the business has since been conducted by Mr. Wood alone. In 1852, the whole es- tablishment was consumed by fire. The rebuilding, how- ever, was soon commenced, and in June, 1853, the man- ufactory was again in operation; since which it has been doing a very useful, and, it is presumed, a profitable business, giving employment to about fifty
188
HISTORY OF
hands, and using over two hundred bushels of corn per day.
In 1852 and '3, the Water Cure and Med- ical Infirmary - W. Shepherd, M. D., pro- prietor - was estab- lished in this town- ship, about three miles north-east of Colum- bus, near where the
Central Ohio Railroad crosses Alum Creek. This In- stitution is designed exclusively for the reception and treatment of invalid females.
Some additions and improvements have been made since the accompanying cut was taken.
The success attending the treatment here pursued, and the patronage extended to the Institution during the past five years, warrants the proprietor in prosecu- ting the enterprise.
In 1840, the population of this township, outside of the city, was 1,449. In 1850, it was only 1,320. This apparent decrease is to be accounted for by the exten- sion of the city limits. In 1853, the township (outside of the city) composed ten school districts, with an ag- gregate of 605 youth between the ages of five and
189

twenty-one years. In 1857, the aggregate of such youth was 723.

CHAPTER XVI.
PLEASANT TOWNSHIP.
THIS township was organized by its present name in 1807, though it then embraced four or five times its present area. It was reduced to its present limits by the formation of Jackson in 1815, and of Prairie in 1819. A settlement was commenced on Darby, near Georgesville, at an early age of the county. Amongst the settlers were, Messrs. Thomas Roberts, John Bigger, James Gardiner, Samuel Dyer, Samuel Kerr, John Turner and others. About as early as 1805, Mr. Dyer erected his mill, which was long known as "Dyer's mill," and has been kept up by repeated repairs till the present time. It was for some years owned by James Gardiner, and bore his name ; but it is now owned by William Dyer, and its former name restored. It is the only flouring mill in the township.
In 1815, a post office was established in this town- ship by the name of " Pleasant Post Office." In 1816, Mr. Roberts laid out the town of Georgesville, and in
OHIO ASYLUM FOR IMBECILE YOUTH.
193

1818, the name of the post office was changed to "Georgesville Post Office." The successive postmasters have been :
Thos. Roberts, first postmaster, appointed in Feb. 1815. Thos. Reynolds, second, " Sept. 1828. Wm. Scott, third postmaster, (present incumbent,) ap- pointed Nov. 1851.
Mr. Reynolds died in July, 1851. From that time till Mr. Scott's appointment (four months) the office was kept by his widow.
In June, 1836, the town of Harrisburgh was laid out by Joseph Chenowith, Esq., Frederick Cole, Esq., sur- veyor. It is now a lively village, containing about thirty families, two taverns, four stores, two physicians, a church, belonging to the Methodist denomination, and a post office. The post office, however, had been estab- lished at this place, by the name of "Darby Cross Roads," some years before the town was laid out. After the town was laid out, the name was changed to " Harrisburg Post Office." The successive postmasters have been :
John Haines, first postmaster.
George Geiger, second " appointed in 1833.
