Early Manufacturing Industries .- The first manufacturing industry in Loudon Township was the horse-power grist-mill, established by David Ferrier about 1834, on the head of Wolf Creek. In June, 1874, one of the stones used in this mill was presented to the editor of the Fostoria Review, as a me- mento of the humble beginnings of the township.

The Crocker Saw-mill, on South Street, within eight rods of the present Roswell Crocker home (the first frame house ever erected at Fostoria), was established in 1836, by Roswell Crocker. In August, 1836, C. W. Foster had sawing done valued at $62.73, to build the warehouse which took the place of this old log warehouse. The house is now occupied by Mrs. Lunt, and stands on the south side of South Street, west of Main Street about fifteen rods. Into this mill machinery was introduced for grist milling, and Mr. Crocker carried on the saw and grist-mill business for some years, when he converted the building into a grist-mill. In 1843 he sold to Samuel Carbough, who after some time converted it into a distillery.

* February 15, 1861, a call was signed by C. W. Foster, J. V. Jones and Robert Adams, Republican Town- ship Committee of Fostoria, requesting the Republicans to meet February 20, at W. C. Turner's office to take action in reference to the selection of a postmaster.

HISTORY OF SENECA COUNTY.

In 1843 Roswell Crocker erected a grist and saw-mill at Springville, which he operated for two years, when he returned to Fostoria, where John Crocker and C. W. Foster had erected a building for him, the same as now used for the manufacture of the "Magic Washing Machines." in which he operated a grist-mill himself. or leased until 1865. when the building was sold to Ful- lerton & Ferguson, who ran it for some time. They moved the machinery to Hudson, Steuben Co .. Ind.

Braden & Yunker erected a grist-mill in 1853 or 1854 (near their carding works). and introduced the best machinery known at that time. The buildings and machinery were destroyed by an explosion some years ago. and young Brown and Wilson were killed. A brick building was erected almost on the site of the old mill, by Mr. Hammond. He sold the concern to Eversole & Noble, when another explosion occurred, killing a man named Hadley, and

burying one Overmyer in the debris. The latter, however, was dug out, and recovered from his injuries. Eversole & Noble sold their interest to the Ayles- worth Bros., who sold to Benjamin Leonard, and subsequently repurchased the concern. There are no records whatever on which to found a history of this industry. What is given is taken from recitals of facts by old settlers.

A carding-mill was constructed by Braden & Yunker about 1850. The Lees conducted a furniture store. and were interested in a grist-mill. This mill was set on fire in 1847 and destroyed.

John Fritcher established the first harness shop about 1840. Jacob Fritcher established his saddlery in 1842. James Lewis had his shop, in 1846 or 1847, at Risdon. Andrew Emerine established his harness shop in 1848. three years after his arrival here. Thomas J. Pillars, a brother of Judge Pil- lars, established harness shops previous to 1848. William Weaver and Jere- miah Coe were harness-makers at Rome in 1849. John W. McDonnell, who came with his parents in 1842, is one of the oldest harness-makers in town. Samuel Gildersleeve was an early harness-maker. Jacob Kridler, sometime previous to 1861. Isaac Warner opened his harness shop at Fostoria in 1861, having previously worked for Andrew Emerine from October, 1855, at Rome.

Joel Hale, Colhour and J. B. Way were the first blacksmiths. In 1842 James McDonnell opened a shop at Rome.

Risdon .- In 1847 S. G. Malony moved to Risdon, and thence to Rome in 1851, voting for the name "Fostoria " subsequently. He states that in 1847 Mrs. Mickey, Sr., kept the Mickey House. Braden & Yunker had a card- ing-mill at Risdon at this time, and William Braden conducted the postoffice, with Childs, assistant postmaster, and owned a furniture shop where the Ayles- worth Mill now stands. E. W. Thomas was a grocer: James Lewis, harness- maker; Daniel Ragan. tailor; John Quincy Albert, shoemaker. This trio worked in a small frame building, which stood in what is the center of Perry and Elm Streets. John Becker was also a shoe-maker. On the west side of Perry, fronting on Elm Street, was the Bement Foundry and Plow Shop. mak- ing, in 1855, about 1,500 plows.

The Lee Grist-mill was burned about May 1, 1847 (the owner's wife is al- leged to have burned it), after the mortgagors had sold the machinery and Lee moved to Indiana.

Dr. Dana and Dr. Caples were the physicians at Risdon. Henry L. Caples kept a dry goods store until 1853 when he and Luther W. Caples moved to Mis- souri. P. D. Caples had a farm close by and L. Caples also had a farm on the southwest corner of Jackson Township. Dr. Dana died at Risdon about 1853. The Methodist Episcopal society had a church building on the east bank of Portage River. which was an old hewed log building in 1847. Rev. Mr. Elliot was resident preacher.

William Braden moved to Illinois and died on the Kankakee Reservation about 1862. James Robinson accompanied him to Kankakee in 1857, and is now a resident of Chebanse, Ill. Dan Hammer, and one of the Martins were convicted of crimes such as horse stealing. and served in the penitentiary.

Thomas B. Jacobs opened a furniture store at Risdon about 1848.

The Hammer family, notorious in some respects, were here. George Heis established a brick yard on the Portage River prior to 1847. In 1848 S. G. and J. T. C. Malony established a brickyard north of Heis'. Heis died November 5. 1884. Moffitt established a yard south of Malony's, in 1854, and inade the brick which are now in the Foster store building.

In 1847 Mr. Hobbs taught the Risdon schools.

John Vroman and the Morgans were old storekeepers at Risdon. Jere- miah Mickey, while making a ditch to convey water to his house, was buried by the clay caving in, just after he warned his own daughter and Widow Jacob's daughter to keep away. Heck Thompson. a negro barber, married to an Indian half-breed, was the first colored citizen of Risdon.

Jefferson B. Way and Germond were blacksmiths, and Cochran and Weaver & Coe, harness-makers.

About 1849 one Smith opened a hotel on Union Street, in the same house now occupied by Mrs. Schultz. A carriage factory was operated by George Geer on Jackson and Union Streets. This industry employed sixteen men. Between 1847 and 1851 Geer lost two wives by death and married the third. He died penniless, in Oregon, within the last decade.

S. G. Malony opened a grocery north of the Foster Elevator, in 1852. In 1855 he established his furniture store in partnership with L. S. Wells, who opened a furniture shop at Rome. about 1846. Joseph Emmett also had a furniture shop. He moved to Iowa.

Lyman Kettels established a furniture store at Risdon about 1849. John Dildine was a cooper there in 1847.

John Portz and Nicholas Portz settled at Rome at an early date among the first settlers, and established a wagon and carriage shop.

Beginning of the Brick Building Era .- The first three brick residences at Fostoria were erected previous to 1845 by Braden, R. C. Caples at Risdon. and one, the first, Marshal Hays', at Rome, the latter occupying the lot south of Foster's new block. T. B. Jacobs, Andrew Emerine and Edwin Bement erected the first of the modern brick houses in 1860-62. The first brick business block was erected by C. W. Foster, now occupied by Foster & Co. Joel Hale built the crockery store during the war. Andrew Emerine built the brick house now occupied by George Emerine. Leonard Morgan, John Andes, Martin Kingseed and Liner built each a brick house, filling the lot between the "Hays House" and Tiffin Street, just after the war. This is a very im- portant business block. The Andes Opera House Block and the Foster Bank Block are buildings of which any city might feel proud.

CHURCHES.

Methodist Episcopal Church was organized at Risdon in 1833 by Rev. Mr. Chase, who was succeeded immediately by Rev. Elam Day. The first house of worship was a hewed log-house on the north side of High Street (now Summit Street), near the creek, built in 1833-34 at Risdon, on the Han- cock County side. This was used until 1852, when the late frame building was erected by Rev. Mr. Collier. This frame was sold to Dr. Ballou in March, 1885, and torn down. It stood on the northeast corner of Fremont and Main Street, just south of the present Methodist Episcopal Church. There are no records in existence dealing with the church here in early days. In 1846 Rev.

HISTORY OF SENECA COUNTY.

Seymour was preacher. Revs. Jewett and Elliott were here at an early day, with Raymond, presiding elder. Revs. Jewett and Crabbs were here in 1848 with Thomas Barkdull, presiding elder. Revs. Leonard Hill and Lee came in 1849; Rev. Milligan succeeded Rev. Lee in 1850; Revs. Collier and J. P. Pel- ton were here in 1851-52, and the former with Rev. Monett in 1852-53; Rev. Monett was here alone in 1853; Rev. Nathan Taylor in 1855; Revs. Collier and Lansing in 1856; Rev. J. A. Shannon in 1858. About 1847 Rev. James Anderson established what was known as the Methodist Church in Rome. He erected a frame church building on what is now Wood Street, on the west line of the town of Rome. This building, which was never plastered, had split bass-wood seats without backs. In 1851 he wished the Risdonites to come to his church and complete it, but they took an opposite course and erected the Fremont Street Church. Anderson's Church was subsequently devoted to manufacturing industries until destroyed by fire about two years ago. Among Mr. Anderson's friends were some of the old settlers of Risdon who moved to Rome. The Collier revival did away with the discord the two churches created.

The records of the church since 1859 present the following facts: J. T. Caples was presiding elder, and Rev. J. A. Shannon, preacher. His salary was $200, with incidentals $275, and the presiding elder received $75. A. R. Brandenburg, J. F. Ritchart, J. J. Myers, James Lewis and F. Ernest were trustees.

Bricker and Norman Saltsman. Before the completion of the church, in 1885. Dr. Hale took Dr. Bricker's place on the committee. Andrew Emerine suc- ceeded J. L. Kenower as treasurer. The building contract was sold to I. L. Cramer, of Fostoria, and work on foundation begun in 1883. Green & Hiel man completed the contract in the summer of 1885 at a cost of about $20,000, and the building and furnishing was finished in the fall of 1885 at a total cost of about $30,000.

Williams took charge of the carpenter work, and completed the building for $2,000, August 19, 1845.

A new church building was completed on West Centre Street in July, 1885. The new edifice is a neat structure, 54x50 feet in dimensions, and has a seating capacity of about 400. It was dedicated July 9, 1885, Revs. J. A. Thrapp and O. V. W. Chandler, of Tiffin, officiating. The pastors of this church have been J. A. Thrapp, C. W. Wolf. G. W. Bothwell, J. B. Roberts, L.

The membership at present is 208. Rev. J. Beaver, father of the mayor, has been connected ministerially with the church for over sixty-nine years.

A reference to the history of Eden Township will show that the first society of this denomination was organized at Melmore. Since that time, however. Fostoria has won the headquarters of the church in this county, and for this reason the following chronological and historical review of the church is given in this chapter.
