Rowley in 1841 was the first merchant. A post- office was established on the fifteenth of February, 1839, called Hildreth, and Miner Hildreth was the first postmaster. About 1832 Hildreth resigned, and H. C. Lockwood was appointed postmaster; about this time the name of the post-office was changed to its present name-Brandon. J. R. Milligan, the present postmaster, has held the of- fice since 1869.
Sycamore Valley Lodge No. 553, I. O. O. F., was instituted at Brandon July 31, 1873, by the most worthy grand master, John E. Bell, of Cincinnati, assisted by Past Grands T. P. Fredericks, W. R. Hart, J. R. Wallace, and G. R. Martin, of Mt. Vernon.
The charter members were John L. Slater, A. M. Welsh, H. C. Harris, Adam Williams, W. S. Harrod, N. A. Chambers, H. J. Glaze, Orlando Truman, John C. Jacobs, G. H. Phillips, J. Hart- sook, Morgan Beaver, William Beaver and T. D. Poland.
In 1873 the following officers were duly in- stalled: G. H. Phillips, N. G .; J. C. Jacobs, V. G .; H. J. Glaze, financial secretary; H. C. Harris, secretary ; D. F. Poland, treasurer.
Those initiated at the first meeting were A. W. Brown and W. H. Evans. The officers, July 1, 1880, were as follows: J. C. Hartsook, N. G .; L. French, V. G .; G. W. Stout, financial secretary ; A. W. Brown, secretary; A. Williams, treasurer.
During the year 1880, aided by friends of the order, the lodge erected a fine two story frame building for lodge purposes, on the corner of Granville and Sycamore streets. The first floor is intended for a store room, and the second is de- voted to lodge purposes. The entire cost of the building and furnishing was about one thousand dollars.
On the fifth of August, 1880, the hall was dedi- cated to the use of Odd Fellowship in an impres- sive manner by Most Worthy Grand Master Gra- vatt, of Columbus, assisted by Past Grands Thomas Trick and W. R. Hart, of Mt. Vernon lodge No. 20; J. B. Warren, of Quindaro Lodge No. 316; J. H. Hamilton, of Ellicott Lodge No. 267, and W. O'B. Honey and H. S. Bunnell, of Sycamore Valley Lodge No. 543.
Brandon has, at this time, two churches, one

town hall, one steam saw-mill, one cider mill, two wagon shops, one blacksmith shop, one dry goods store, one grocery, one hotel, one boot and shoe shop, one harness shop, two physicians, one artist, and one butcher shop.
Isaac Coleman is the oldest resident of the vil- lage, having resided here since 1836.
L. W. Gates has held the office of notary public in this place since 1868.
This township has been visited several times with severe wind storms; the most disastrous of these occurred on the twentieth of January 1854, passed across the township in a northeast direction, and was from forty to sixty rods in width. It first struck the township at the west line of lot number nine, in the third quarter of the township. At this place it was not very severe. It then crossed lot eight and the east part of lot one, owned by John Robinson, taking off the top of his log house; next it struck lot two, owned by John Turner, and completely demolished his house and other build- ings, scattering fences and everything movable, in wild confusion. Mrs. Turner had an arm broken. A grain sack owned by Mr. Turner was found after ths storm near Danville, a distance of about twenty miles. It next struck the woods of George Milligan, making a clean sweep of his standing timber, and then crossed the farms of David Wat- son and J. W. Baxter, passing south and east of their buildings. Their fences and everything mov- able in its course, was left in wild confusion. It next struck the farm of Chester Coleman, taking off the roofs of his house and barn, and passing to Dr. Wheaton's, where J. W. Baxter now resides, completely demolishing his new frame house and barn. The doctor was in the barn at the time, and when it had left him he found himself among some rubbish, with one arm broken. The Union church, standing on the site now occupied by the Method- ist Episcopal church in Brandon, was entirely de- stroyed. The brick school-house, occupying the present site of the town hall, at the time occupied with a school of about fifty scholars, was blown down to its foundations, but no one was killed or dangerously injured. The roof was blown from what is now the Baptist church. Several buildings in the west part of the village were more or less damaged. Oliver Squires resided in a brick house
a few rods north of the village; on the approach of the storm he and his family took refuge in the cellar. The house was blown down to its founda- tion, likewise his barn, and everything movable scattered about promiscuously. The storm contin- ued its northeasterly course, crossing the east line of the township a short distance from the north- east corner, causing a general destruction of fences and everything movable in its course. The house of Mr. Slater, situated in its course, met the fate of others, being blown to the ground.
About 1825, in May, a severe tornado passed over the extreme southeast corner of this town- ship. At this time John Vance had three sons at work on the farm, who saw the storm approaching and attempted to make their way to the house; the storm overtook them; they took shelter by a large black walnut log in the open field; the wind rolled the log over them, killing two of them and breaking the other boy's leg. The course of this tor- nado was in a northeast direction, and it was from eighty to one hundred rods in width. The east part of section six, in the second quarter, had been visited by a tornado not long before the first settle- ment of the township.
The first pioneers of Miller paid but little atten- tion to religious matters. Elder John Mott was a Baptist minister, and made his home here in an early day. Elder James Hare, a Baptist minister, came here in 1822. Daniel Barler and perhaps a few others were also Baptists. The Colopy fami- lies were Catholics, and perhaps some others made profession of religion, but no church was organ- ized prior to 1830. In that year a church was organized by Isaac N. Walter, of the Christian de- nomination. Among the leading members at the time of its organization were Simon A. Bagley, Daniel Rowley, Leonard Simons, and Enos Barnes. At this time there was no house for pub- lic worship in the township, and meetings were held at private houses in the winter season; in the summer they were held in the grove. This church soon became one of the leading institutions in the community. In 1832 a house was built for public worship on the present site of the Methodist Episcopal church at Brandon, his being the first house for public worship in Miller township. In 1854 it was destroyed by a tornado. In 1858 this

church built another house one and one-half miles west of Brandon, which is now called Sugar Grove church.
Since this church was organized in 1820 it has passed through many changes in membership. Those that composed the first church organization have all passed away, and the first pastors have likewise passed off the stage of action. At this time it is composed of about forty members. Among the former pastors of this church were J. N. Walter, Samuel Marion, Harry Ashley, Daniel Long, Edward Lewis, James Hayes, J. W. Marvin, and Mills Harrod. Andrew Hanger is the pastor at the present time. Amzie Harrison, Nelson Smith, Joseph Johnson, and Ruben Chrisman are among its leading members.
In 1833 Harry Ashley, of the Christian denomi- nation, organized a church in the southeast part of the township. Among the members at the time of its organization were John Weaver, Andrew Oldaker, John Row, Martin Lohr, and James Oldaker. The members that first composed this church have all passed away except James Old- aker, who has been a member from the time of its organization to the present.
This church held its meetings at the school- house, in district No. I, until about 1844, when a house of worship was built. This church is known by the name of Fairview. J. W. Marvin was pastor twenty-seven years. It is now the largest church organized in the township, having sixty- three members. Douglas Black is the pastor.
Since 1830 the Christian denomination (or New Lights as they were sometimes called,) have been the most prominent religious organization in Miller township, and its membership has been composed of some of its very best citizens.
About 1834 the Methodists organized a church at the house of James Nolan, in the northwest part of the township. Among the leading members were James Nolan, John Conaway, Joseph Hare, Andrew McNutt, and William Allison. In a few years this church organization was abandoned.
In 1841 the Methodists organized a church at the school-house in district No. 6, south of Brandon, on the Granville road. Among the members were S. F. Vorse, John Osborn, William Beadle, and Alphea Beadle.
About 1843 the Methodists organized a church at the school-house in the southwest part of the township. Among the members were John Bux- ton, John Conaway, and Charles Conaway.
In 1851 a Methodist church was organized at Brandon. Miner Hildreth and Erastus Rouse were among its leading members. These three churches continued in a sickly condition until 1863, when they were consolidated into one church at Bran- don, where they built a church edifice, since which time this church has been in a prosperous condi- tion. Rev. Craven is the pastor at the present time. Its members number about sixty. Among the leading members were F. A. Buxton, Adam, William and Nathaniel Hunter and Gideon Long.
In 1853 a Methodist church was organized in the east part of the township. A house of worship was erected near Hunt's Station. Its members mostly reside in Pleasant township. At the time of its organization its members were John Sliger Jonathan Wood and James Strong, of Pleasant;, Christian Stinemates and John Phifer, of Miller. This church is known by the name of Asbury ; Rev. Cravan is the pastor at the present time. Probably fifteen or twenty members reside in Miller, among whom are Thomas M. Jones, George Sliger and Peter Sout. This church is in a pros- perous condition.
About 1834 Rev. Pitkin, of the Presbyterian de- nomination, commenced preaching in the Union church at Brandon, and continued two or three years, but probably no Presbyterian church was or- ganized at that time.
In 1852, under the leadership of Dr. Ramsey, Dr. Wheaton and Levi Beach, a Presbyterian meet- ing-house was built at Brandon, dedicated by Rev. Swift, and an effort was made to organize a church, but it does not appear that any church of the Pres- byterian denominaiton was ever organized in the township.
In the fall of 1856 Elder Raymond, of the Bap- tist denomination, held a series of meetings at Brandon, and organized a church in the month of January, 1857. Among the members at the time of its organization, were Emor B. Harris, Isaac Stull, Philip Stull, J. H. Davis, H. C. Welch, A. M. Welch, and Rodham Tulloss. In the spring of 1857 the church purchased the house formerly

built by the Presbyterians, which house they have continued to occupy to the present time. This church has continued to exist since the date of its organization. Elder Lewis is the pastor at the present time. Among the members are J. H. Davis, William Wynkoop, H. J. Glaze, Isaac Stull and N. A. Chambers.
It may have been observed that the first two set- tlements were in the extreme corners of the town- ship, the southeast and northwest. A school-house was built near the line in Morgan township, and near the southeast corner of Miller, which accom- modated the scholars in the southeast corner of Miller for several years.
The first school-house built in Miller was situ- ated on the Granville road, one mile north of Bran- don. This was a log house, and built about 1817 for the accommodation of the scholars in the north part of the township. In the spring of 1825 two school-houses were built, one on the farm now owned by Dana Miller, a short distance east of the road west of his house; the other on the farm now owned by Lewis Gates, and about midway between his residence and the cross roads west of it.
Previous to 1830 schools were supported by in- dividual subscription. About that time the legis- lature passed an act, appropriating a small school fund for the support of common schools; and also for the purpose of establishing school districts. Under the provisions of this act the township was divided into school districts, the first in the south- east corner of Miller, and including a part of Mor- gan. The schools were continued in the house formerly built in Morgan township. The second district was in the north part of the township-and continued to use the house north of Brandon. The third district was composed of the northwest part of Miller, and the northeast part of Milford. This district erected a new house on the north part of the farm now owned by J. P. Jones.
The trustees of the townships had control in dis- tricting the townships. In 1833 a new school- house was built in district No. I, and on the site of the present school-house in sub-district No. I. As the population increased it became necessary to form new districts and make other necessary changes, and but few years passed from 1832 to 1850 that some changes were not made with dis-
trict lines. In 1850 there were nine school-houses.
In 1853 the Ohio legislature passed a school law which in substance is the present school law. It created the township board of education, and made all common schools free schools.
The first frame school-house in the township was built in 1839, in what is now sub-district No. 6, about one and one-half miles south of Brandon. In the same year the first brick school-house was built in Brandon. The same house was afterward destroyed by a tornado.
In 1867 the board of education determined to reduce the number of sub-districts to eight, and erect a new school-house for each sub-district; the houses to be of brick, twenty-four feet wide and thirty feet long, with a height of ten feet from floor to ceiling. The house in sub-district No. 3 was built in 1857; No. 5 in 1870; Nos. 1 and 6 in 1872; No. 7 in 1873; No. 2 in 1874; No. 8 in 1876; and No. 5 in 1878. The first seven were built by L. W. Gates, the last one by N. W. Buxton.
The schools in Miller are small; good teachers are employed, and each child growing up in this township has an opportunity to obtain an education suitable for the business transactions of life.
A history of Miller township would not be com- plete without the following from its record during the late war:
Total number enlisted from Miller during the war. II4
Total number killed in the army. 5
Total number died during the war. 16
The following regiments were represented by en- listments from Miller: Fourth, Sixteenth, Twen- tieth, Thirty-second, Forty-third, Sixty-fifth, Seven- ty-sixth, Seventy-eighth, Eighty-second, Ninety-sixth, One Hundred and Twenty-first, One Hundred and Twenty-ninth, One Hundred and Forty-second, and One Hundred and Ninety-Seventh volunteer in- fantry; Third West Virginia Cavalry, First Ohio cavalry, First Marine brigade, Second Heavy artil- lery, and Eighteenth United States infantry.
The sanitary records show that two societies were organized by the ladies of Miller township for the purpose of furnishing necessary supplies for the sick and wounded soldiers. They continued their labors from the spring of 1863 to the close of the war. The estimated value of articles furnished various hospitals amount to the sum of six hun-

M ONROE township shall be composed of the seventh township in the twelfth range-thus reads the brief entry made in the journal of the county commissioners, March 9, 1825. The new township was named in honor of President Monroe.
This part of the county consisting of a high un- dulating table land was originally covered with glacial drift. Erosion has intersected this town- ship with narrow ravines, and filled it with small streams, leaving a succession of well rounded hills of very graceful outline, characteristic of the Waverly group. This peculiarity is only modified by outcrops of the Waverly conglomerate. The soil is mainly composed of the debris of the olive
shales, and moderately productive. The township is well watered, and a considerable portion of it is still covered with the original forest.
The principal stream in the township is Schenck's creek, which traverses it from northwest to south- east, and is fed by numerous springs. This stream took its name from General W. C. Schenck, who at one time owned a large tract of land in the town- ship. The southwestern portion of the township is drained by Centre run, which empties into Owl creek just below Mt. Vernon. The timber found in Monroe is mainly white and red oak, sugar and soft maple, hickory, white and black walnut, gum beech, white and black ash, elm, sycamore, cherry and linn.
Joseph Coleman was one of the earliest settlers of Monroe township. He emigrated from Fayette county, Pennsylvania, in 1806, and lived that year in the Haines' settlement, south of Mt. Vernon, and the next year moved to the Daymude place, on Schenck's creek. At the first election ever held in the county, at Mt. Vernon, April 4, 1808, Mr. Coleman was elected trustee for the county, as di- vision into townships had not yet taken place. He also served as justice of the peace from 1841 till 1853. He died in 1830, aged fifty six. None of his children now reside in the county.
Seely Simpkins was born in New Jersey in 1791, and came with his father to Knox county in 1804. They first located on Owl creek above Mt. Vernon, but in 1807 moved to Monroe township, and loca- ted on the Wesley Clements' property on Schenck's creek. Here John Simpkins, Seely's father, died and was buried in 1809. Mr. Simpkins is the eld- est of twelve children, and is himself the father of twelve children, having married Christina Dial, September 2, 1813. His wife having died he mar- ried Levina Durham, September 14, 1846, and is now in the ninetieth year of his age, living in the northern part of the township.
David Johnson was also an early settler. He located on Schenck's creek, where Henry Barker now lives, and erected a block-house as a protec- tion against the Indians. To him belongs the credit of planting the first orchard in Monroe township. In 1820 he erected a saw-mill on his property, it being the first of the kind in the town- ship. Mr. Johnson came to Knox county from

HISTORY OF KNOX COUNTY.
Washington county, Pennsylvania, but the exact date of his settlement in Monroe township is not known. His name is found on the records of Knox county as grand juryman in 1809.
Mr. Johnson failed in business about 1829, and his property was purchased by James Smith, esq., of Mt. Vernon, who occupied the same until 1837, when he sold to Mr. Barker, and moved to Lan- caster.
Another early settler of some notoriety was an eccentric character named James Smith, who was the first to locate at Monroe Mills. His cabin stood on the west bank of the creek, not far from the site at present occupied by Ranna's store. His name is to be found on the first jury empanelled in this county.
John Adams came from Frederick county, Vir- ginia, and located in the extreme southwest corner of Monroe township in 1811. He was a quiet and industrious citizen, and continued to reside at the same place until his death, which occurred August 20, 1829.
Rev. William Thrift moved from Morris town- ship to Monroe at the close of the War of 1812, and located near where Commissioner Stephen Craig now resides. Mr. Thrift was a Baptist min- ister, and as such was authorized to solemnize marriages by the first court of Knox county, held at Mt. Vernon, May 2, 1808.
William Ireland was also an early settler. He located on Schenck's creek, one-half mile above Gilcrest's mill, where he resided until the present year, when he moved to Morrow county, Ohio.
Later residents of prominence were the Dowds, Craigs, Lauderbaughs, Dixons, Clementses, Becks, Irvines, Skeens, Youngs, Hunts, Hulls, Berrys, Barkers, and Millers.
The history of the early roads laid out by the county in Monroe township is very similar to that of other townships, and does not require special mention. The State road to Wooster was laid out by Benjamin Martin, Joseph Eichar, and James Carpenter, commissioners appointed by the legis- lature of Ohio, and a copy of the survey filed in the office of the commissioners of Knox county, September 1, 1818.
The Coshocton State road was surveyed by John Stewart, and returned to the county commis-
sioners by Thomas Watt and John Hawn, jr., April 12, 1822.
Schenck's creek in its passage through Monroe township has considerable fall, consequently, affords good facilities for milling, and this circumstance was early taken advantage of by the settlers in the erection of both saw- and grist-mills on its banks. In 1825 Robert Gilcrest built a saw-mill on the property now owned by Allison Adams, and in 1833 he erected a grist-mill with three run of burhs and all the machinery to constitute a first class mill for that day. In 1837 this mill ground forty thousand bushels of wheat, the flour from which found a market in Zanesville. Mr. Gilcrest operated the mill till 1845 when he sold out to Peter Skeen, who operated it about three years. A carding ma- chine and fulling-mill were attached to this mill in 1837 and successfully operated till 1847, when Mr. Paige, the operator, built a fulling-mill of his own farther up the creek. The flouring-mill was owned and operated by different persons until 1876 when it became the property of William Vian, and on the night of April 13, 1876, it was destroyed by fire and never rebuilt.
Mr. Davis erected a saw-mill on Schenck's creek one half mile below Gilcrest's mill in 1828, and a short time thereafter erected a grist-mill and added a fulling-mill and carding machine. This mill was operated successfully for several years after Mr. Davis' death which occurred in 1857.
The next mill built on Schenck's creek was near the western line of the township by Scott Gilcrest and Truman Purdy in 1835, and in 1844 Henry Boynton and Jacob Davis erected a grist-mill near the same place, now known as the Monroe Mills. The mills did a good business and the proprie- tors branched out into various enterprises. They established a store and post-office in 1846, farmed, and dealt in stock. In 1860 Mr. Boynton failed and made an assignment of his property to Jacob Davis, James Graham, and James E. Woodbridge. They operated the mills a few years and then turned the property over to the Knox County bank. Nelson and George Critchfield purchased the mills of the bank for four thousand dollars and operated them for seven or eight years. Jacob Horn, Hiram Magers, Jacob Lybarger and James Mc- Elroy at various times held an interest in the prop-

erty. James McElroy is the present proprietor.
The Lhamon mills are located on the Wooster road near the north line of Monroe township. The original mill was a saw-mill erected by Jacob Lutz in 1840. Mr. Lutz owned the mill but a short time when it came into the possession of Jacob Davis, who erected a grist-mill adjoining the same containing one pair of flouring buhrs and one set of choppers, both of which are still in use. In 1868 he old saw-mill was torn away and the pres- ent one erected by Abner Lhamon. The mills are now owned and operated by William Lhamon.
