The first officers were appointed by Grand Master F. V. Bierce of Akron, Ohio, and were C. J. Steven- son. W. M., Abel Clark, S. W .. and Chas. Pontius, J. W. The first meetings were held in the brick school house (Ragers Feed Mill) and later in an upper room in the building that stood opposite the town hall, then over Casper Limpert's drug store.
In 1875 when the township and village were building the town hall, it was thought that two lodge rooms could be built on the third floor at a moderate cost and accordingly on July 24th at an adjourned meeting a building committee was elected, consisting of Wm. Chandler, S. A. Peters, M. K. Earhart and J. P. Arnold. It was ascertained that a room could be built at a cost of $1,050. The committee was then authorized to contract for the same with the township trustees and the village counsel. and also instructed to have the lodge incorporated, which was all accord- ingly done.
In 1876 the hall in the third story, on the west side of the building, was completed and occupied.
The following have been the presiding officers: C. J. Stevenson, 1853-1854; Abel Clark, 1855-1859, 1862 ; Chas. Pontius, 1856; M. K. Earhart, 1857, 1858, 1863-1868, 1885, nine years ; J. B.

Potter Lodge, F. & A. M., No. 540.
Previous to 1885, at different times attempts had been made to secure a dispensation from the Grand Master, for the establishment of a Masonic lodge at Winchester; but the consent of the surrounding lodges that already held jurisdiction over the territory could not be obtained and failure was the result.
During the winter of 1884-1885 their consent was secured and in February, 1885, Grand Master Good- speed issued his dispensation for the new lodge. The hall in the Lehman block was elegantly fitted and fur- nished and the first regular meeting was held on Fri- day evening, April 10, 1885, when the following offi- cers were elected: Joseph B. Potter, W. M .; J. B. Evans, S. W .; B. F. Gayman, J. W .; James Heffly, secretary ; J. M. Bennett, treasurer ; A. C. Kelley, S. D .; Thomas Allely, J. D .; D. H. Cowen Tyler.
The lodge was at first named "Potter Lodge" in honor of its master, Dr. J. B. Potter, but notice was received from the Grand Master that this could not be done during the life-time of the doctor, and then the name was changed to "Madison Lodge."
Dr. Potter and B. F. Gayman were elected del- egates to attend the meeting of the Grand Lodge at Cincinnati, October 20, 1885, to present the claims of the new lodge for a charter.
Their mission was successful, and on Wednesday evening, November 4, 1885, Madison Lodge, No. 540,

CHAPTER XXVII.
THE PIONEER'S HOUSE AND HOME LIFE.
"We piled with care our nightly stock Of wood against the chimney back - The oaken log, green, huge, and thick - And on its top the stout back stick; The knotty fore stick laid apart, And filled between with curious art, The ragged brush; then hovering near, We watched the first red blase appear,
Heard the sharp crackle, caught the gleam On whitewashed wall and sagging beam, Until the old rude-furnished room Burst flower-like into rosy bloom."
The pioneer's first cabin was built of round logs with the bark on. The chimney stood on the outside at one end, and was made of sticks and clay with clap- board roof. Many of them had only the earth for a floor : the rafters or beams as they were called ran lengthwise of the building and were spaced according to the length of the clapboards. Some of them had a loft or upper floor. No windows were needed, as the cracks in the roof and between the logs and the big wide chimney admitted plenty of light by day. Often only a blanket or skin furnished the door. All was put together without nail or iron. The following de- scription of the building of the round log cabin is taken from Hill's History of Licking County and has been corroborated to the writer by several of the older (410)

citizens of this township, who themselves assisted in the erection of them.
"These round log cabins were often erected ready for occupancy in a single day. The pioneer went 8 to 10 miles to a cabin-raising, arriving early in the morning where not a tree had been felled or a stone turned. Each one had some particular part to see to; three or four would lay the corner stones and the first logs, two men with axes cut the trees and logs, one with his team of oxen, a "Lizard" and a log chain would "snake" them in; two more with axes and cross-cut saw and frow would make the clapboards, two more with axes, cross-cut saw and broad-ax would hew out the puncheons for the floor and flatten the upper side of the sleepers. Four skilled axmen would carry up the corners and the remainder, with skids. and handspikes would roll up the logs - as soon as the joists were laid on, two men with cross-cut saw went to work cutting out the door and chimney place and while the corner men were building up the attic and putting on the roof, the carpenters and masons of the day were putting down the puncheons, laying the hearth and building the chimney. In one corner at a distance of 6 feet from one wall and 4 feet from the other the bed post is placed, only one being needed. A hole was bored in the puncheon floor to set this post, which was usually a stick with a crotch or fork in the upper end; rails were laid from this fork to the walls and usually nice straight hickory poles form the bottom, upon which straw or leaves were placed and a blanket put on; this makes a com- fortable spring-bed, and was easily changed and kept clean. The heavy door was hung on wooden hinges,

and all that was necessary was to pull the latch string inside and the strong wooden latch held it fast."
The furniture was as simple as the buildings. A cabin contained little beyond the puncheon table with its four sapling legs, its puncheon benches and blocks of wood for stools, stoves they had none. A small kettle or two answered the various purposes of bucket, boiler, and oven, and when there was com- pany they would take the door off its hinges and thus make an addition to the table. A shelf on two wooden pins held the dishes and pewter-ware; two wooden hooks over the door held the rifle when not in use ; few had clocks and they were of the "wall sweep" kind. The wearing apparel of the whole family was hung in full view on one side of the house on wooden pins. In the loft on every beam hung seeds and roots and herbs - the medicines of those days -on the joists hung dried pumpkins, peaches, apples, beans, etc. The Hominy block sat in one corner ; the broom was of split hickory and the "duster" was a wild turkey wing.
These round log cabins stood many years after better houses were erected; they served for stables, sheep-pens, blacksmith-shops, loom-shops, school house, and meeting house. Every one of these first cabins are long since gone and the exact places where they stood forgotten.
Later an improved log house was built. It was made of hewn logs, with sawed lumber for doors, win- dows and floors; glass also took the place of greased paper windows sometimes used in the first cabins, home-made nails were sparingly used, when nails were first used a pound cost a bushel of wheat or two bushels of corn - equivalent to a day's work - the

local blacksmith made them out of odds and ends, of old worn out sickles, broken links of chains, pieces of horse shoes, etc.
No house had more than two rooms. One was called the kitchen and the other "the room", if com- pany came they were invited to come in "the room", a little later every family had its "squirrel tail" bake. oven. Corn-bread, vegetables, milk, butter, and wild meats constituted the principal subsistence and these. were often scarce.
In the summer and fall the mills would stop, for the lack of water and bread-stuffs would get scarce and neighbors would borrow of each other as long as there was any thing in the community. Venison and wild turkeys were quite plenty. Squirrels were so numerous that parties were formed to kill them to prevent them from destroying grain when planted and after it ripened, wild pigeons were so plenty that they literally darkened the heavens in their flight. Coffee and tea were dear and hard to get; as sub- stitutes the early settlers used sassafras, spice-wood and burned rye and wheat for their coffee, using a few grains of coffee to give it flavor. Pounded and lye hominy were common. A half dozen or more kinds of corn-bread were made; then there was the ash-cake, the hoe-cake and the Johnnie-cake. Salt had to be secured at Zanesville and cost ten cents per pound. Sugar and Syrup were made in abundance. Bee trees were plenty. They salted down turkey in troughs as they had no tubs or barrels.
Their wearing apparel was all home made, - linen and tow in summer and linsey and flannel in winter. The flax, tow and wool were all spun on hand wheels. The weaving was done on hand looms; many

of the pioneer girls spun, wove and made their own wedding dresses. The coloring was done with the bark from trees, such as walnut, oak, maple and hick- ory, as well as with walnut hulls; copperas put into the ooze of these made a variety of shades ranging from yellow to red, black or brown. Buckskin pants and sometimes vests with the hair on, were common as men's wear. Mr. Almanzer Hathaway for many years a citizen of Winchester relates that his buckskin pants got wet running through the snow and water, and when dry became dry and brittle and broke off at the knees leaving the lower part of his limbs naked for some time before he got another pair. These buck- skin pants were made to fit close to the skin, and as at that early day no underclothes were worn it was very much like putting one's limbs into bags of snow on very cold winter mornings. One pair of shoes a year was all any got, so often persons would tie old rags about their feet to save their shoes, and to make them last would carry them until near the meeting house when they would put them on, and after meet- ing take them off again. Bedding consisted of straw and leaves, a blanket or two and plenty of bear skins. Bear skins were worth 75 cents and deer skins 50 cents. Sometimes the fire went out during the night when some one would have to go to a neighbors for some "live coals" before breakfast could be started.
We found the following among other entries in an old account book kept by "Squire" John Tallman, father of the late Nathaniel Tallman, the dates and prices are suggestive of the pioneer's domestic life.
