CHAPTER VI.
A RETROSPECT-MEDINA'S EMANCIPATION-THE FIRST' RAILROAD-THE COUNTY'S JUBILEE *- THE CENTENNIAL "FOURTH"-THE ORATION.
THE greater part of the volume of which this chapter forms a part might properly be called a retrospective glanee over the past six- ty-nine years of the history of Medina County ; but in these pages it is desired to give more fully than eould elsewhere be given, a sketeh of two important events in the county's history. Sueeeeding generations will find it difficult to appreciate the handicapped condition of eom- mereial and social development before the rail- road opened the door to equal advantages with the surrounding country. That emaneipation day that brought the first train-load of passen- gers to Medina was full of hope for the future, and, though, in some respeets, the word of prom- ise was kept only to the ear, it was a grand event in the annals of the county's develop- ment, and one which all, no doubt, will re- call with pleasure. Wednesday, November 15, 1871, was a day long to be remembered in Medina. It had been longed for and prayed for some twenty years ; but most anxiously awaited during the last few weeks of its delay. With the completion of the Lake Shore & Tus- earawas Valley Railway to Medina, and the ar- rival of the first train of passenger ears, the hopes and the prayers and the efforts of the people were erowned with sueeess. In the lan- guage of the Gazette, published on the 17th inst., the people could say : "The day has ar-
rived at last, thank God ! and we all feel happy. We are out of the wilderness ! And we celebrated the event. We celebrated it bully ! We had a grand good time and no fail- ure."
A storm of rain on the preceding day was sueeeeded at night by a fall of snow and eold winds. This prevented large numbers of the country people from coming to town, where every preparation had been made to give them a hearty welcome. Still, there was a big erowd of people in the county seat. They lined the sidewalks, filled up the business houses, pre- empted the hotels, and sat in the offiees, and all eoutributed to the general eheer, notwith- standing the eold weather.
It having been announced that the exeursion train would reach Medina at 12 o'eloek, M., long before and after that hour the eurrent of travel set toward the railroad track. Medina's lone piece of artillery, re-enforced by the Seville battery, was posted on Bronson's hill, near by, and, during the forenoon, let off eight or ten guus "just to wake 'em up." It was tedious waiting for the train, and it did not finally arrive until about 1 o'eloek, the erowd remaining good humored and reasonably patient in the mean- while. A temporary platform had been ereeted for the passengers to step on from the ears, and this was the rallying point of the confused mass of beings. It was a trying hour to wait.

HISTORY OF MEDINA COUNTY.
356
The people, benumbed with the carly touch of winter, and beset with an anxiety that all shared alike, found it hard to direct their minds from the absorbing subject. People walked up and down the track, up and down the road, and up and down anywhere to counteract the benumb- ing influence of the weather. The track, the switch, the remaining engine of the construc- tion train, all were the object of the admiring scrutiny of the assembled crowd. There were a good many false alarms of the "train is com- ing!" and ouce or twice, those who had charge of the bells and steam whistles up town, " let them off"-all of which created considerable amusement and helped to pass the time. But all trains do get in at last, and this train proved no exception. It was heard to whistle at York Center, only four miles away, and pretty soon the rumble of the wheels was heard ; and then a shriek of the locomotive came tearing through the woods, and a passen- ger train of six coaches and a baggage-car hove in sight. Off went hats and shawls and shouts and bells and whistles and cannon ! The pas- sengers in the cars leaued out of the windows and checred, the people at the landing cheercd, the locomotives added their voice to the grand uproar, until the whole made up a volume of sound excelling anything in the experience of the oldest inhabitant.
-
The unloading of the train was quite as unique in its way. The passengers did not walk out-they seemed to just roll out into the arms of their frantic friends. The " reception," upon which care and circumstance had been clabor- ated, "didn't come off." In fact, the receptiou committee did not know whether they were on terra firma or walked the ether, but all werc happy and all felt welcome, which was the end sought. In carriages and on foot, the crowd of guests moved up town to the court house, where the weather compelled the formalities of the occasion to take place. Here Mayor Blake, as President of the day, gaining the attention of
the crowded audience, welcomed the guests of the hour as follows :
Fellow-Citizens : It is altogether proper that the peo- ple of Medina should feel a deep interest in the occa- sion that has called us together. It is well to do honor to this noble enterprise, and honor to those who are en- gaged in its completion. It is a great work, and one that will give new life and enterprise to Medina and the whole county. By the completion of the Lake Shore & Tuscarawas Valley Railroad, Medina will be tied hy iron bands to Lake Erie on the north, and the Ohio River on the south. By it, Cleveland, on the lake, and the citizens on the Ohio River are made our immediate neighbors, from whom must grow up mutual intercourse and commerce. The coal-fields of the Tuscarawas and Hocking Valleys will furnish the motive power, and the beautiful, healthy location of Medina, and the product- iveness of the surrounding country will form the in- ducements for capitalists and artisans to make their location here. Here the iron ore of Lake Superior and the coal of the Tuscarawas Valley will meet; here, ma- chinery of all kiuds will be put in operation, and mechanical skill will find ample scope for all its powers.
Cleveland, now regarded as a part of the suhurhs of Medina, will soon make all the necessary combinations to " form a more perfect union," and thus Medina will become one of the railroad towns of Ohio. This road is to be a coal road, and to tap the great coal region of the State, emhracing, as it does, not less than 10,000 square miles, or quite equal to all that possessed by Great Britain, and far in excess of that of any other European nation. While the coal-fields of Ohio, through which this road is to run, are as large as the entire coal fields of Great Britain and larger than any other Euro- pean country, the annual production of coal in Great Britain is over 100,000,000 tons, and the annual pro- duction in Ohio is only ahout 3,000,000 tons. It will be seen, therefore, that, while we have an inexhaustihle source of wealth in our coal-fields, we have scarcely begun to draw upon them.
