The Logan County Medical Society was founded in 1858. Most of the regular physi- cians of the county are members. Its officers are: a President, Vice-President, Secretary, and three Censors. It meets in Bellefontaine the second Tuesday of each month. At cach meeting there is usually an essay submitted by some member, previously appointed to that duty. This, with reports of cases and discus- sions, makes the sum of the exercises. It is in a flourishing condition.
THE BAR OF LOGAN COUNTY .*
Logan County has from its first organiza- tion maintained a high rank at the Bar. Few counties in the State can show such a contin- ned succession of able, brilliant and distin- guished lawyers. They have stood at the front in all the Courts, and in the State and National Councils. They have been honored . Contributed by Hon. James Walker. .

HISTORY OF LOGAN COUNTY.
by their brethren of the surrounding coun- ties, and their services and assistance has been repeatedly sought in far distant counties, in the trial of important law cases, requiring great legal knowledge and acumen. Logan County has furnished a Judge of the Supreme Court, a Judge of the Common Pleas, an At- torney-General, and the most important legal adviser of the United States Treasury.
In early days the terms of Court lasted but a few days, and lawyers of note and eminence traveled the circuit on horse, and visited the several counties, remaining to the end of the terin, taking their chances for retainers. They had but few law books from which to cite authorities, and cases were tried with but little of that parade of legal books, which overwhelm the tables of the lawyers and the judges' beneh on the trial of cases, yet we do not hesitate to say that justice was dispensed as well then as now.
Orvis Parrish, Joseph H. Crain, Sampson Mason, Charles Anthony, Gustavus Swan and Judge Swayne, now of the Supreme Court of the United States, frequently visited this county and engaged in the trial of cases.
The opening-day of Court was the great day of the year; the people attended in crowds ; would fill the Court-house and re- main till midnight to hear the lawyers talk. The jury and the crowd were alike appealed to by turns in the most vehement language and gesture.
In those days the most important cases, in- cluding murder trials, would be disposed of in less than a day. The docket was always cleared at the end of every term.
The judges who have at different times presided in this county were Orvis Parrish, Joseph H. Crain, Joseph R. Swan, James L. Torbert, Benjamin F. Metcalf, William Law- rence, Jacob S. Conklin, P. B. Cole and John L. Porter, the present judge.
The first term of court was held in April,
1818, Orvis Parrish, President Judge, and James MeIlvane, Levi Garwood and John Shelby, Associates. There was then no law- yer residing in the county, and James Cooly, of Champaign County, was appointed Prose- enting Attorney. Nicholas Pickerel was ap- pointed Sheriff, and Samuel Newell Clerk. The term was brief, and but little was done besides the appointment of administrators and guardians.
In chronological order, we give the names of the lawyers who have resided in Logan County, and are now deceased:
Anthony Casad was the first resident law- yer in Logan County. He came to Bellefon- taine in the year 1826, when a young man. He was active and energetic, and had a fair practice, but toward the latter part of his life his mind was directed to other matters more congenial to him, and he almost wholly aban- doned the practice. He lived a pure life, and was strictly honest and honorable. No man was more respected for his moral worth and good feeling. He was honored in many ways. In 1826 he was elected Prosecuting Attorney, and re-elected at various times un- til 1831. He was elected Representative in the Ohio Legislature in 1840, and re-elected in 1852. In 1858 he was elected Probate Judge, which office he held at his death. He died in the year 1861. He was kind and am- iable, and no man had more warm friends and fewer enemies. He was a devoted Christian, and he lived a pleasant and happy life, great- ly beloved by his family.
William Bayles, was among the first prac- tioners at the Bar in Logan County. He was elected Prosecuting Attorney in 1822, and was re-elected in 1824. After Mr. Casad became a resident lawyer, Mr. Bayles moved into the County. He was a man of consider- able natural ability, but had a limited educa- tion, and was not regarded as a thorough lawyer. His habits unfitted him for close

attention to the practice and study of the law, andhe neglected business, and became a hope- less inebriate. He was found dead in the little stream which runs through the city.
Hiram M. McCartney, came to Logan County in the year 1830. He studied law in this county with Hon. B. M. Piatt, who then resided in Logan County. He was a man of fair education, with great natural gifts, and he would have been the leading lawyer in this section of the State, had he lived and re- mained in good health. He became con- sumptive, and fell its victim just as his great talents were beginning to develop his great powers and energy. He was a free-thinker and held liberal views on all things. He was one of the prominent anti-slavery men of the time, and alnost the last act of his life was to preside at an Abolition meeting, at which he gave expression to bold truths, which he uttered amid threats of personal violence. Many anecdotes are told of his independence and liberality. He is yet remembered and talked of by all the old citizens. He was elected Prosecuting Attorney in 1832, and again in 1834. He died in the year 1839.
Royal T. Sprague came to this county about the year 1839, and practiced law until the year 1817, when he removed to California, where he died in 18;8. He was a man of fair ability and liberal education, but he did not acquire any considerable reputation.
Samuel Walker came here about the same year. He was not regarded as a first-class lawyer. He was a good business man, and served many years as Justice of the Peace. He was a man of rare integrity and honesty. He was an ultra-abolitionist, and he startled the Legislature of Ohio, at one time, by send- ing to them a peremptory command that they should forthwith pass a law to abolish slavery. Hle quit the practice and removed to his farm near Huntsville, where he died in 1852.
H. M. Shelby was a native of this coun- ty. Ile was admitted to the Bar in this county in 1844, and shortly after removed to Jowa. Ho practiced law there till 1856, when he returned to Lima, Ohio, and after- wards opened an office in Logan County, where he remained till his death.
Benjamin Stanton was born in Jefferson County, Ohio, and came to Logan County in 1834. He was deficient in carly education, but he had a strong and vigorous intellect and applied himself closely to study, and his improvement was rapid, and he soon rose to distinction in his profession. He was an able lawyer, and could talk with great force to a jury. He was strong in argument, managed his cases with great ability, and was general- ly successful. He entered politics early and took an active part in the political cam- paigns. He was elected Prosecuting Attor- ney in 1836, and re-elected in 1838. He was Glected State Senator in 1841, and was one of the members who resigned his seat, and thereby broke up the quorum and defeated the passage of the iniquitous bill districting the State. He was re-elected by a large ma- jority. In 1850 he was elected a member of the Constitutional Convention, and was a prominent member of that body. He was elected to Congress in 1850, and served two years, and in 1854 he was again elected, and was afterwards re-elected for two consecutive terms. Mr. Stanton took an active part in the discussions of that body, and always sus- tained himself well. He acquired a national reputation. He was elected Lieutenant-Gov- ernor in 1862, and several times secured a respectable vote for United States Senator. Ho removed to West Virginia in 1865, and soon had a large and lucrative practice in the state and United States Courts. In the dis- russion of the now and complicated questions growing out of the Rebellion and the forma- tion of the new State of West Virginia, he

became a powerful advocate. He died sud- denly in 1813.
S. B. Walker was born in Shelby County, and came to Logan County in 1846, and entered into partnership with Mr. Stanton, and continued for about a year, when they dissolved, and he returned to Shelby County, where he died several years ago.
C. W. B. Allison was admitted to the Bar in Wayne County, and settled in Union County in 1843. Was elected Prosecuting Attorney for two terms, in 1850. He mar- ried a daughter of Benjamin Stanton, and im- mediately entered into a partnership with him. The firm had an extensive practice. Mr. Allison was a careful and reliable lawyer, who prepared his cases with labor and attention. IIle was not a brilliant man, but his success consisted in his application and attention to business. He was elected to the Legislature in 1865, and shortly after the expiration of his term he removed to Wheeling, West Vir- ginia, where he practised law until his death, which occurred in 1876.
William Lawrence, of Bellefontaine, was born at Mount Pleasant, Ohio, June 26, 1819; graduated at Franklin College, Ohio, and afterwards at the Cincinnati Law School; was a reporter for the Columbus State Jour- nal, and subsequently edited the Logan Ga- zette and the Western Law Monthly; was Bankrupt Commissioner for Logan County in 1842 ; was Prosecuting Attorney for Logan County in 1843 ; was a member of the State House of Representatives of Ohio in 1846 and 1847 ; was a member of the State Senate of Ohio in 1849, 1850, and 1854; was elected Reporter of the Supreme Court of Ohio in 1851; was elected Judge of the Court of Common Pleas in 1850, for five years; re- elected in 1861, and resigned in 1864; was in the Union army in 1862, as Colonel of the 84th Ohio Volunteers; was appointed United States Judge in Florida in 1863, which he

CHAPTER V.
RELIGIOUS HISTORY -- PIONEER PREACHERS -- SCHOOLS-STATISTICS-THE NEWSPAPERS-THEIR ADVANTAGES-RAILROADS.
TN this age of wonderful invention and im- provement, it is a difficult matter for the present generation to realize the inconven- iences under which the people labored who set- tled this country. Their religious facilities were as limited as everything else connected with frontier life. No handsome churches, with deep-toned bells and spires pointing heaven- ward, then dotted the land. But in each other's cabins, or beneath the shades of the forest trees, the pioneers met to worship God according to the dictates of their own con- science.
" The groves were God's first temples. Ere man learned
To hew the shaft and Jay the architrave, And spread the roof above them,-ere he framed The lofty vault, to gather and roll back The sound of anthems; in the darkling wood, Amidst the cool and silence, he knelt down, And offered to the Mightiest solemn thanks And supplications."
In the years that have followed the advent of the Anglo-Saxon, changes and improve- ments have succeeded the primitive customs brought hither by them. We cannot worship to-day except in magnificent temples, where our displays of style and dress are only equaled by our other fashionable resorts, where each of us try to outshine our neigh- bor. Our ministers, too, sleek in broadcloth, and pompous with high living, what a won- derful improvement they are upon such old- fashioned preachers as Russell Bigelow, Lo- renzo Dow, Joseph Thomas and Peter Cart- wright! Religion itself, we sometimes con- elude, is like everything else we have at the
present day-slightly adulterated, and not to be compared to that proclaimed by the Master 1800 years ago. But we will not trace the contrast further. It may be that we entertain some old fogy ideas upon the subject that are obsolete and not to be tolerated in this ad- vaneed age.
The precise date of organization of the first church society in Logan County ean not be obtained with certainty. Antrim's his- tory of the county mentions a church estab- lished by the Quakers at Goshen, in Jeffer- son Township, in 1807. As early as 1813 a Methodist Church was built in Zane Township. The Tharp's Run Baptist Church one mile west of Zanesfield, was established in 1819, and others followed in rapid succession in different parts of the county.
Logan County in its early days was honored by the visits of some of the great pioneer preachers and divines of the time. Russell Bigelow, the Methodist Evangelist, so well known in Central Ohio fifty years ago, used to preach in this county. He is described as a man small in stature, and " homely almost to deformity." When he arose before a con- gregation to preach, "he would lay his prem- ises as carefully as a skillful general would ar- range his forces for battle; he would compre- hend the obstacles to be overcome; see that his forces were sufficient; every officer in his place; men and munitions all properly ar- ranged, and then the word given, shell and shot, small and large arms, grape and canis- ter, as though the heavens and earth were com- ing together, and in the consternation would
