HISTORY OF SENECA COUNTY.
came to Tiffin and entered into partnership with Dr. H. K. Hershiser, in the well known corner drug store on Market and Washington. At the close of the first year he bought his partner's interest, and has re- mained in successful business there ever since. Ever since his location here Dr. Hubbard has taken a very lively interest in every measure calculated to promote the growth and welfare of Tiffin, his adopted city, especially in her educational interests. He has been twice elected a member of the school board; first in 1877, and again in 1880, and has been president of the board since 1878. He was married to Miss Helen M., daughter of Judge Sawyer, of Nashua, New Hampshire, on the 27th day of August, 1873, and Clara S. and Sheldon B. Hubbard help to make the household lively.
C. O. KNEPPER
was born in Somerset county, Pennsylvania, on the 20th of October. 1836, the oldest son of Jonathan and Margaret Knepper. He gradu- ated from Heidelberg college in the class of 1862, and from the semi- nary in Mercersburg, Pennsylvania, in 1864. He was superintendent of the schools of Waterloo, Iowa, and of Waverly, in the same state. On the 24th day of June, 1868, he was married to S. Grace Dunnell, daughter of David Dunnell, of Massachusetts, the bride then living in Waterloo. This union was blessed with three children, one son and two daughters. In 1871 he was elected professor of the Alumni of Heidelberg and took charge of his position. in 1872. In the spring of 1879 he was elected a member of the school board of Tiffin.
HENRY BROHL
was born in the city of Bonn, on the Rhine, on the toth day of Novem- ber, 1831. He attended the academy and university at Bonn, and before he had time to graduate he left his native city and country; he came to America and settled in Sandusky City in the spring of 1851. Mr. Brohl had also applied himself to the mercantile business while he lived in his native city, and when he removed from Sandusky City to Tiffin in 1855 he entered into copartnership with E. T. Abbott in the business of wholesale grocers. He continued in this firm until in 1857 he entered into partnership with Robert Crum in Tiffin in the sale of groceries and liquors. The business was conducted by this firm until 1865, when Mr. Brohl opened a saloon, which he has conducted suc- cessfully ever since. In 1856 Mr. Brohl was married to Miss Catharine Krautz, of Sandusky City. This union was blessed with seven children, who are all living. He was elected to the school board in 1877.

CHAPTER XXI.
THE BANKS OF TIFFIN-INSURANCE COMPANIES-SECRET AND BENEV. OLENT SOCIETIES.
I TN the spring of 1847 the question of establishing a bank in Tiffin was agitated by some of the monied men in the place, and it became appar- ent very soon that rival interests were growing into conflicting propor- tions. One wing followed the leadership of R. W. Shawhan, and the other, that of Rufus W. Reid, the leading rival merchants of Tiffin at that time. To the outside world it seemed at times that one party would succeed, and then the other, but finally Mr. Reid, who never was very scrupulous in any thing, succeeded in securing a charter.
On the 12th day of July, 1847, Benjamin Tomb, William H. Gibson, Samuel Waggoner, R. G. Pennington, Alfred Johnson, R. W. Reid, Daniel Smith, William Fleet, William M. Buel, and Daniel Brown, made the proper application for the organization of an independent bank. " Pending the granting of the application, they became convinced that the amount already subscribed was insufficient," (says Stewart, but they really became alarmed at the rival element showing greater force,) so they, in conjunction with others, enlarged the capital stock to one hundred thousand dollars. On the 2d of August, of the same year, they filed their amended application, which was speedily acted upon by the board of commissioners, and a charter for an independent bank, to be located in Tiffin, with a capital stock of $100,000, was granted them on the 9th of the same month.
Perhaps it would have been better for all parties concerned, as well as the community at large, if the other faction had succeeded. Who can tell ?
The bank was organized by the election of Benjamin Tomb presi- dent, and Waggoner, Buel, Reid and Pennington, directors. Mr. Tomb resigned his position as president in 1848, and Abel Rawson was ap- pointed in his place. Mr. Pennington was appointed cashier pro tem., and afterwards William E. Chittenden, the regular cashier. They com-

menced business on the 13th of November, 1847. It was called the "Seneca County Bank." It flourished for a season, but the young craft carried too much Reid on board, and ran ashore. After the bank had suspended awhile, Charles L. Johnson, who was before that time a popular young merchant in Tiffin, bought the charter of the collapsed institution, kindled up its dying embers for a short season, and started afresh, in 1851. The old creditors crowded their claims without rest or mercy, and somebody obtained a judgment on cognovit in the court of common pleas of Franklin county, in Col- umbus, Ohio. A. P. Stone was treasurer of state. James T. Claypoole who was his particular friend, made application to be appointed re- ceiver of the bank, assisted by some of the creditors, and finally suc- ceeded, but at that time, as the agent of a @editor, he procured an execution on the judgment and came to Tiffin with it, where he placed the execution in the hands of sheriff Weirick, and hurried him down to the bank as quick as possible. Mr. Johnson, when he found that he had a bigger load than he could carry, and as troubles began to thicken around him very rapidly, perpetrated the same folly that so many men are guilty of, by resorting to strong drink to drown his troubles. What a weakness ! Just at a time when a man should bring all the powers of his manhood into requisition to bear him up under mental pressure, he drowns the man in the cup and retains the debauched substitute.
Weirick, the sheriff, and Mr. Claypoole hurried down to the bank be- fore time of closing. They found Charley alone, holding on to a chair. The vault was open and a few old books scattered over the counter; everything seemed demoralized. They stated. their business to Mr. Johnson, who said: " All r-r-right genl'men, c'm-n take all th'r-is."
The sheriff could find nothing that Mr. Claypoole would have him make a levy upon. Mr. Claypoole said some unpleasant things, but Charley laughed and asked Claypoole whether he would take something. They gave it up, and Mr. Claypoole, somewhat out of humor and very much excited, walked up to the telegraph office and hastily sent the following dispatch to treasurer Stone, at Columbus:
" Seneca county bank gone to hell ; will be there to-night.
JAMES T. CLAYPOOLE."
This was on the 25th of April, 1857.
There were at that time some $63,000 of the Seneca county bank bills in circulation. Mr. Claypoole was appointed receiver, and pro- ceeded to collect the bills, issuing his certificates in their stead.
On the 19th of February, 1861, Claypoole reported his proceedings to the legislature, and said, amongst other things, that the bank had 22

bonds deposited with the treasurer of state for the security of the hold- ers of its notes in the sum of $209,648; that all said bonds had been abstracted or paid out in violation of law, and that the holders of $57,000 of outstanding circulation were deprived of their pro rata share of said bank. He claimed that the state held securities for this circulation, in the sum of $50,000, and asked that the same be used for the redemption of the bills.
Nothing was done upon this report. War broke out and the Seneca county bank was lost sight of. The bills were hawked about the coun- try, and sold for whatever they would fetch. In the session of the gen- eral assembly of 1864, the writer introduced a bill directing the treas- urer of state to redeem the certificates so issued by the receiver, and the outstanding bills of said bank, which passed both houses and became a law on the 31st of March, 1864. The state lost nothing by the act. On the contrary, there were less bills and certificates outstanding than the securities in the hands of the treasurer of state, leaving a respectable balance in favor of the state. This balance was made up undoubtedly by bills that were lost or destroyed, and having never been presented, the state had the benefit of the loss.
In 1852, Arnold and Tomb (Sylvanus Arnold and Benjamin Tomb), established a private banking house, which lasted two years, when it changed into the name of Tomb, Huss & Co. The business was conducted in this name until 1855, when the company organized as the " First National Bank of Tiffin," with Benjamin Tomb for president, and John T. Huss cashier. For eleven years this bank did an im- ' mense business, but during the last, year some people, who had a chance to know, questioned its soundness, and looked upon the institution with misgivings. Mr. Huss, the cashier, was a native of Tiffin, and a young man of excellent business qualifications. He was highly esteemed, and enjoyed the general confidence for honor and integrity. Nobody was willing to believe him guilty of any wrong. The state election of 1875 was over, and both parties quieted down to business.
It was the afternoon of the 15th of October, 1875. Several depositors from the city withdrew their deposits. The money in the bank had run down to a few thousand dollars. The clerks in the bank felt gloomy. Some of the directors consulted together as to the propriety of borrow- ing some money for a few days. Huss was at his house, where he had been for several days, feeling unwell, as he said. A gentleman from Cincinnati came that afternoon and stopped at the Shawhan house, with a view of seeing Mr. Huss the next morning about a large draft that was not just as it should have been. It was half-past four o'clock in

the afternoon. The bank had closed, and for the last time. Mr. Huss was in bed. The family had gone into the dining-room to supper. A light shot was heard in the direction of Mr. Huss' room. A ball had passed through his heart from a revolver Mr. Huss had still in his hand. He was dead.
It will benefit nobody to describe the condition of things that was soon made manifest, and it had better not be recorded here Suffice it to say, that Warren P. Noble, Esq , was appointed receiver and paid the creditors sixty per cent. on their claims.
THE NATIONAL EXCHANGE BANK OF TIFFIN
Was organized in 1865. The following named gentlemen were the in- corporators, viz: John D. Loomis, R. W. Shawhan, A. G. Sneath, J. M. Naylor, S. B. Sneath, W. W. Naylor, H. A. Buskirk, S. M. Ogden, Abel Rawson, A. B. Hovey, J. H. Good, Levi Davis, John Swigart, J. H. Pittenger, Robert Smith, E. T. Stickney, and J. A. McFarland. The capital stock was then $125,000, which has been greatly augmented since. The bank enjoys the general confidence of the community, and the only severe misfortune that befel the institution was the robbery of the bank by its former cashier, O. C. Zeller, who left the bank for Canada one night in the spring of 1878, and on the next morning the bank was short some $50,000.
The business of the bank proceeded right on as if nothing had hap- pened, and while the community were shocked over the act, the confi- dence the people had placed in the institution was not shaken in the least.
The present officers of the bank are: J. D. Loomis, president; J. W. Chamberlain, cashier. Mr. Loomis has been its president all the time.
THE TIFFIN SAVINGS BANK
Was incorporated March 3d, 1873, under an act entitled " An act to incorporate savings and loan associations," passed February 26th, 1873. John G. Gross was the president, D. D. Dildine cashier. The institu- tion was kept up about four years, and after the death of Mr. Huss it closed its business, and a majority of the stockholders joined in the
COMMERCIAL BANK,
Which purchased the First National bank building, and opened for business on the 23d day of June, 1876. The bank organized under their charter of May 18th, 1876, with a capital of $100,000. It has a constant surplus of over $7,000. W. P. Noble, president; J. A. McFar- land vice-president: S. B. Sneath, cashier; J. A. Blair, assistant cashier.

HISTORY OF SENECA COUNTY.
THE BANK OF TIFFIN
Was organized in the fall of 1858, by Evan Dorsey and A. G. Sneath. In the fall of 1859, R. W. Shawhan bought the interest of Mr. Dorsey, and the bank was continued by the same name until it merged into the organization of the National Exchange bank in 1865. The Bank of Tiffin was kept during its whole existence in the room now occupied by John Neligh as a clothing store. Mr. Shawhan was then, as now, the owner of the building.
Mr. A. G. Sneath was cashier of the old Bank of Tiffin during the whole time of its existence, and of the National Exchange bank for about three years from the time of its organization. .
INSURANCE COMPANIES.
The Seneca County Mutual Fire Insurance company was organized under a charter by the legislature of Ohio, passed March 19th, 1850.
The first meeting of the incorporators was held in the sheriff's office in Tiffin, in pursuance of notices published in the Seneca Advertiser and the Seneca Whig, when the Hon. A. Lugenbeel was appointed chairman and Hon J. W. Wilson secretary.
On motion of Eden Lease, the by-laws of the Stark County Mutual Insurance company were adopted for the by-laws of this company.
William Lang was elected president for the ensuing year, J. W. Wil- son secretary, and George Knupp treasurer. The secretary was authorized to act as general agent of the company; and thus the com- pany started on its career with a good board of directors and officers, and with one of the most favorable charters for a mutual fire insurance company ever passed by an Ohio legislature.
On the 29th day of October, 1850, the first policy was issued and the last one on the 31st day of July, 1860, being number 1,502.
Immediately upon the organization of the company Mr. Wilson took charge of all its business and appointed very many agents in various counties in northern Ohio, the larger number of whom had no experi- ence in insurance matters, and whatever they lacked in knowledge they made up in impudence and avarice.
They recommended all manner of risks, and would have insured powder mills if they had found any. In addition to all this, many of the applicants were worthless and irresponsible, and when assessments were made upon them, they could not be collected. The premium note was a lien upon the real estate of the insured, but very often prior en- cumbrances swallowed up the whole value. The agents themselves

gave no bonds or other security for moneys that came into their hands, and when assessments were collected but small returns were made, for want of means to pay the losses, the officers borrowed money upon their own credit, as individual citizens, from the banks in Tiffin for that purpose, with a hope of being re-embursed from future collections ..
The assessments were made very light to make a good showing, but were insufficient to pay losses and expenses. For several years the larger amounts of the losses were paid by money thus furnished, and when, later on, assessments were made larger, to cover back indebtedness, members complained and many surrendered their policies.
In this condition of things the directors found the affairs of the com- pany when, in the fall of 1856, Mr. Wilson died, and William Lang was appointed secretary in his stead.
The company had then already run into evil report. Some of the agents were dismissed, and all brought to an account, but there was not vitality enough in the concern to recuperate. It dragged along with all its old troubles on hand, and new ones accumulating, until it was compelled to wind up. Mr. John McCauley was appointed the attorney of the company to collect the assessments and pay the liabili- ties. Many members had to be sued, but finally enough was collected to pay all, or nearly all, the indebtedness of the company.
The mutual plan is undoubtedly the best and most equitable system of insurance, but the officers and agents must be the owners of two great and indispensable requisites, viz: business qualifications and integrity. THE FARMERS' MUTUAL RELIEF INSURANCE COMPANY OF SENECA COUNTY Is not a Tiffin institution, but it holds its meetings here. It was organ- ized in 1858 and reorganized and incorporated April 12, 1878. It has insured farm property to the amount of $2,500,000, paid all its losses, ยท and is out of debt, with funds on hand.
The present officers are:
President-R. R. Titus.
Vice-President-J. W. Lawhead.
Secretary-D. M. Neikirk.
Treasurer-Peter Hoefling.
All of whom are also Trustees, together with the following, viz .:
