The first State and county election was held October 13, 1835. John L. Watkins, Jared Scofield and Richard Grimes were the judges, and Samuel Rohn and William Wait, clerks of said election. Patrick G. Good received eight votes for senator, Stacy Taylor five, John E. Hunt, five, and John C. Spink, three; Samuel Marshal had five votes for representative; for county commissioner, Amos Cole had thirteen, Isaac Brancher, ten, and Jonathan Mead, eight votes; for surveyor, John L. Watkins had ten, and Frederick Lord two; for sheriff, Samuel Bowers had thirteen; for coroner, William Bowers had thirteen; for auditor, Hazael Strong had thirteen; for recorder, John N.

Evans had thirteen; for prosecuting attorney, Frederick Lord had four; for treasurer, Israel Wait had twelve, and for county assessor, Willis Wait had thirteen votes.
The first settlement with township officers was held March 7, 1836. Trus- tees present, John L. Watkins, Jared Scofield and Richard Grimes. The next township election was held April 4, 1836. Jared Scofield, John L. Watkins and Richard Grimes were judges, and Joseph Heath and Reuben Wait, clerks. Reuben Wait, Jared Scofield and Richard Grimes were elected trustees, and Joseph Heath clerk. The following October my father, Jared Scofield, died, which ended his further action in developing this, then, wilderness.
The second State and county election was held October 11, 1836, with twenty-four electors present. For governor, Joseph Vance had seventeen votes, and Eli Baldwin seven; for congress, Patrick G. Good had seventeen, and James Brown seven; for representative in State legislature, John Holister had seventeen votes, and Amos Evans seven ; for county commissioner, John Pat- rick had twenty-four votes ; for recorder, Hazael Strong had eighteen votes, and John Glass six. From this record it would seem that the Whigs were in the ascendancy. (A much different state of affairs now exists ) From my recol- lection the persons receiving the larger number of votes were all Whigs. The Democratic majority over the Republicans will run an even hundred, and per- haps a little more at this time (1887).
The next township election was held April 3, 1837. Sixteen electors were present. Reuben Wait, Richard Grimes and Jesse King were elected trustees ; Joseph A. Brewer, clerk; William Bowen, treasurer; for school examiner, Wm. C. Brownell had fifteen votes, Isaac P. Whipple sixteen, and Reuben sixteen. The record does not show how the tie vote was settled. The next State and county election was held October 10, 1837, with thirty-two electors present. For State senator, John Patterson had twenty-one votes, and Curtis Bates eleven ; for representative, George W. Crawford had twenty-one, and Parley Carlan eleven ; for county commissioners, Isaac Brancher had twenty- two, and James Magill eight; for treasurer, Israel Wait had twenty-two, and John Glass, five ; for auditor, John Powell had twenty-one and Frederick Lord eleven ; for sheriff, Alexander Craig had nineteen votes, and Henry Leonard twelve; for coroner, John B. Rundel had twenty-one, and Joseph Heath ten ; for prosecuting attorney, William D. Barry had ten, and Frederick Lord twen- ty-one ; for assessor, Adolphus Patrick had eleven, and Willis Wait twenty-one.

Brownell, Richard Grimes and Amos Cole were elected school land trustees. On the Ioth day of May, 1838, Amos Cole was elected justice of the peace for a second term, and John B. Rundel for a first term, making two justices in the township.

Young, a citizen of T. 3, N. R. 6, E. (now Pleasant township), pre- sented a petition signed by citizens of that part of territory of Flat Rock town- ship, praying to be set off in a separate school district, known as No. 4, to in- clude No. 3 north of ranges 6 and 7, east (now Pleasant and Marion town- ships), which was granted ; also, at the same time, altered that part of school districts Nos. 2 and 3, as originally divided, as follows : All of No. 3, in Flat Rock township (T. 4, north of range 6, east), to be included in No. 3 ; also to include all of No. 4, north, range 7, east (now Monroe township). This left Nos. I and 3, all on the north side of the river, in No. 4, north of range 6, east, which has ever since remained in Flat Rock township.

There he saw General William H. Har- rison, candidate for president on the Whig ticket, and Colonel Richard M. Johnson, candidate on the Democrat ticket for vice-president; also Thomas Corwin, candidate for governor of Ohio, and Hon. William Allen, since mem- ber of Congress from that portion of Ohio, and governor of the State, and many other leading politicians of that day.

At the next annual election, held April 7, 1845, Reuben Wait, Amos Cole and Robert Newell were elected trustees; Jared McCarty, clerk; Daniel A. Blodget, treasurer; Amos Cole, assessor.

jah Carr and David Harley were elected trustees ; Andrew J. Scofield, clerk ; Adam Stout, treasurer, and James E. Scofield, assessor.
The next annual election was held April 1, 1850. Emanuel Barnhart, Eli- jah Carr and Amos Cole were elected trustees ; J. C. McCracken, clerk ; Adam Stout, treasurer, and Charles G. Shull, assessor ; also, Elijah Carr was elected justice of the peace.

The next annual election for township officers was held April 7, 1851. Amos Cole, Elijah Carr and John Brubaker were elected trustees ; Adam Stout, treasurer ; Charles G. Shull, assessor, and J. C. McCracken, clerk.

This year the election for State and county officers appears again, and was held October 10, 1854. For rep- resentative in Congress, Richard Mott received 90 votes; Henry S. Com- mager, 28; Joseph R.

Brownell 84, and Charles Hornung 33 ; commissioner, James E. Scofield 81, and Ward Wood- ward 35. Whole number of votes polled 120. At that time the people were dividing some in politics, caused largely by Congress agitating the slavery question ; the persons receiving the majority vote being Whigs, except two of the commissioners, both of whom belonged to the Democratic party. James E. Scofield, the Republican member of the board, was wavering, and voted for Richard Mott, which undoubtedly caused his Whig friends to give him a good vote. The vote shows that something did it.
The next annual township election was held April 2, 1855. Amos Cole, John Brubaker and Jeremiah Huston were elected trustees; George W. Water- man, clerk ; Isaac Karsner, treasurer, and Robert K. Scott, assessor. On the third day of March, 1856, James E. Scofield was appointed clerk to fill vacancy caused by G. W. Waterman's removing from the township.

Vincent, clerk, and George Schneider, assessor ; also, John A. Vincent, justice of the peace, being his own successor. The minutes do not show who was the successor of James E. Scofield, resigned, and moved out of the town- ship temporarily, which event, to his knowledge, occurred the 24th day of February in the year 1864. He resigned, both as clerk and justice of the peace, and also postmaster at Florida.
James E. Scofield was assistant postmaster at Florida in the year 1850. In July, of that year, Lyman Back, the postmaster, died, leaving the office in Sco- field's possession. Shortly after this time the latter was appointed postmaster and remained such until after the nomination of James Buchanan, for president, in 1856. This official refused to support Mr. Buchanan, in consequence of
216

which his " head went into the basket," and Henry Andrews was appointed his successor. Mr. Andrews remained a year or two, when he, too, was de- posed, and Isaac Karsner was appointed his successor. Shortly after the elec- tion of Abraham Lincoln, in 1860, Mr. Karsner turned the office over to Sco- field, as assistant, and, after the inauguration of President Lincoln, in 1861, the latter was appointed postmaster, and remained as such until his resignation, in February, 1864, leaving in charge John A. Vincent, who was shortly after- ward appointed to fill the vacancy. In 1833 there was no post-office nearer than Defiance, but one was established in about 1834, called McLean, after John McLean, the postmaster-general. Jared Scofield and Isaac P. Whipple, his brother-in-law, were both candidates for postmaster, which was amicably settled between them, and Isaac P. Whipple became the appointee, this being the first post-office in the township, and perhaps the first one in the territory of Henry county. Mail was received about once each month, carried on horse- back, by John Omens, as near as can be ascertained. This post-office was situ- ated about one mile east of the present town of Folrida.
Florida was laid out about this time, or soon after, by William Bowen, who recorded twenty-four lots on the Williams county records. The records of Henry county being destroyed in the year 1847, by the burning of the court-house, left Florida without any available plat. About 1872 it became necessary for some cause, to search for records of some lots and corners in dis- pute, and it was found that none of the lot lines and alleys would correspond with others. Owing to this unfortunate state of affairs, many and serious com- plications and disputes arose, but the surveyor had, fortunately, recourse to the records of Williams county, to which Henry county was formerly attached, where he found the original twenty-four lots there recorded. An application was made to the Legislature for a special act for replatting the town, which was granted in the winter of 1873, but it was found that no law authorizing such an act existed, and therefore the act was made general. By that act the com- missioners of Henry county appointed the writer to re-survey and plat Florida, which was done. About the year 1865 or '66, a post-office was established and called Okolona, and Mr. Scofield was appointed postmaster and remained as such until about January, 1872, when John H. Benson, who succeeded to the business of the former incumbent, was appointed.
The next election for the township offices was held April 8, 1865. Henry R. Andrews, John Brubaker and John Knipp were elected trustees; Isaac Karsner, treasurer ; John A. Vincent, clerk, and George Schneider, assessor.
The next annual election was held April 2, 1866. Henry Andrew, John Brubaker and John Knipp were elected trustees ; Isaac Karsner, treasurer ; John A. Vincent, clerk ; and George Schneider, assessor. At this election John A. Vincent failed to qualify, and Andrew J. Scofield was appointed April 2Ist by John Knipp and H. R. Andrew (two of trustees) to fill vacancy. Da-
