ORANGE TOWNSHIP.
Early Events.
Life in the woods, with all its attendant evils and privations, had its charms and enjoyments; and there are but few early settlers who, in later years, relating the events of those days, do not look back to the spot where stood the cabin, and to the friends who surrounded them at its cheerful fireside, with fond and tender recollections, and acknowledge that the days and years spent in their pioneer cabin homes were the happiest in their lives. The social gatherings of the scattered settlers . were enjoyed with real delight. They were almost entirely free from collisions and strife, which so often distract older and larger communi- ties. The quiet scenes of nature, the deep solitude of the forest, their dependence one upon another, all exerted an influence on their minds, and restrained their grosser passions.
We love to look back to these early scenes. Each epoch has its at- traction to us, whether memory or fancy brings it to our minds. When we go back in memory to 1806, to the date of the first settle- ment in the present limits of this township, and then trace along in our minds the succeeding years up to the close of the War of 1812, many incidents rise up before us, and with them the faces of those who were associated with the events of that day. It was the age of the log cabin, when nothing but a dense forest covered the whole land; and the Red men, still scarcely disturbed, hunted their game in their native forest. The only roads were paths made by the natives, or that of the deer seek- ing a place to quench their thirst. With these early recollections are associated the names of the Cannons, Berrys, Phillipses, Valentines, Jacksons, Youngs, and a few others who had dared to brave the danger and hardship of trying to make a home in this wild and unbroken forest. Of these sturdy pioneers not one is now left to tell the story of their struggles. It is only from their descendants, some of whom were quite young, or were born here, and have heard their fathers and mothers tell of their many hardships, that we have to depend for all we can learn of them. It must be remembered that more than threescore years and ten have passed away since the first settlement of those we have mentioned was made within the limits of this township.
1
The imagination of the present generation cannot conceive, much less the pen describe, the life of the carly pioneer. In a country of dense, unbroken forest, miles from the habitation of civilization, without roads or means of communication, without schools or churches, or any of the advantages they had enjoyed in their former homes; almost invariably poor, without any means of support, except their strong and willing hands, they find themselves in a rude cabin, without a floor or chimney, and perhaps without an article of furniture, except such as they could improvise out of split puncheon, clap-boards, poles, and bark. Their slumber disturbed by the howling of wolves at their doors-which were made of blankets-and frequently startled by the entrance of Indians in their cabins without warning, seeking shelter, or something to ent. Then, as if this was not enough to discourage their brave hearts, just as they were beginning to make a little opening around them and raise something
to live on, the War of 1812, with all its horrors, broke out upon them, and the Red man, who heretofore had been friendly, became hostile. The massacre of the Dilbones and Garrards in their midst caused them to seek protection for their wives and children. They were compelled to build forts and block-houses, to which they fled to save their lives.
A block-house was built at the site of the Berry mill, and another at the home of Edward Jackson, both within the limits of this township. Some who were children at that time, and were taken to these places of security, still survive, and can call to mind the horrors of those days. This black cloud hung over them for the space of more than two years. Some of the settlers returned to their former homes in the older sections of the country, and did not return for several years. Others braved the danger until the war was over. No man attempted to leave his house without his trusty rifle. His eye and ear were always open to danger. With his axe in one hand and his gun in the other he went forth to his daily labor. To add still more to their measure of suffering, some of them while in the fort had their horses and cattle driven off by the Indians.
If one of these old pioneers could be called back to earth at the pre- sent time, and be shown his former home, where once stood his rude cabin, he wonld find in its stead the more substantial brick or frame. Well-cultivated fields, without a stump, where used to be a dense forest of timber; where once stood the Indian wigwam now stands the church with its steeple, or the brick school-house, offering a free Gospel and free education to his worthy posterity. Instead of his ears being saluted by the howl of the wolf, or the " blood-curdling" war-whoop of the Indian, he would be startled by the whistle of the locomotive, with her long train of freight or passenger cars, as she flies along with lightning speed on her iron-bound track. Show him the many inventions that the ingenuity of man has brought forth since his day to save labor,-the reaper, the thresher, the sewing-machine, and many other labor-saving machines. Then take him to the seat of justice of your county, show him the new court-house. Take him into your fine churches, let him hear the Gospel preached by the modern preacher, and let him listen to the church choir with their pipe organ. Let him see the wonderful growth of the county seat, with all its manufacturing interests,-the same place from which he had helped to take out the first grub and erect the first cabin. Let him drive your fine team and carriage along your gravelled roads. Show him all the improvements that have been made since his day. Let him pass through the strife of one political campaign and see its corruption. Take him to your home, into your parlor ; let him mingle but for a day in fashionable society. Show him the fashionable young gentleman and young lady of the day. Then ask him, What do you think ? Which do you prefer,-the past as you know it, or the present as you find it ?
It is easy to imagine what his answer would be. Give me back the days of old; let me go back to my log-cabin home beside the Miami, where I took my youthful bride; where with empty hands, but with brave and honest hearts, we fought out the battle of life; where we knew nought of envy, strive, or pride, or any of the evils that have arisen among you since we left. Give me the social greeting and warm sym- pathy that were extended from one to another, the hearty welcome given to the cabin fireside, the honest friendship of the Pioneer, and you may have all your riches and modern improvements, with the selfishness that attends them.
Location.
This township is situated in the southern part of the county, and bor- ders on Miami County. It embraces parts of town. 1 and 2, of range 12 and 13, and has an area of about twenty-three square miles. It is bounded on the east by Perry and Green, on the south by Miami County, and on the north and west by Clinton and Washington townships.
Organization.
At a meeting of the Board of Commissioners, held at Hardin, Septem- ber 13, 1819, it was ordered that Perry Township be divided as follows: Running through the middle of the thirteenth range, and that the south part of said township be organized into a new township by the name of Orange, and that the election for township officers be held at the house of William Minnear on the 23d instant.
It will be seen by the above description that Orange Township up to this time embraced all the territory within the present limits of Orange and Green.
At a meeting held at Hardin by the Commissioners, March 7, 1820, it was ordered that all that part of Orange Township that is east of the west tier of sections in the second township of both 12th and 13th ranges be erected into a new township by the name of Green.
The surface of this township is generally undulating, and along the river somewhat broken and hilly. The soil is of a mixed character, con- sisting of gravel and clay loam, and is well adapted to the growing of the cereals as well as grass. Springs abound, and the whole township is well watered by living streams. The north and west side is bordered

by the Great Miami River; besides this the more central parts are crossed by Brush and Rush creeks, and several smaller streams.
A sufficient quantity of good gravel is found within its limits for road purposes. There are some twenty-eight or thirty miles of gravelled roads within the township. There is an abundance of limestone found along the banks of the river. Nearly all the limestone found in the county is found within this township. Lime of the very best quality is burned and shipped in large quantities from the various kilns along the bank of the river.
Orange is one of the best improved townships in the county. The farms are generally small, containing from 40 to 160 acres. The im- provements denote enterprise and thrift on behalf of the owners.
Early Settlements.
The first white settlement made within the present limits of Orange was made on section 16, by the Cannon family in 1806, but they remained on this land but a short time, when they removed to where the town of Sidney now is located. The Cannons were soon followed by John Phil- lips and William Berry in the spring of 1809. In August of the same year Daniel Valentine came in. Also the same fall Edward Jackson located here.
The following year (1810) Thomas Young, Abram Glossmire, John Matthews, Luke Norris, John Gilbert, and Harman Dildine were found here. The above are the names of all that we can learn of that were here prior to the war of 1812. Judge Francis must have come shortly after the close of the war, but the exact time of his settlement cannot be ascertained.
The FIRST FRAME HOUSE was built by Wm. Berry, who also erected the first flouring mill. This mill was built prior to the war of 1812, for it is known that flour or meal was ground in this mill for Harrison's army on its march to the northwest. This mill ground the grain for the early settlers, who came from a distance of forty and fifty miles. There also was a block-house erected near the mill for the protection of the settlement. There also was one at the home of Edward Jackson, a couple of miles farther up the river. The first brick house was built by Edward Jackson. The first orchard was planted by Wm. Berry or Thomas Young. The first birth was Isaac Young, born March 17, 1811. He is now the oldest resident in the county who was born here. The first school-house was built on the land of Thomas Young in the year 1817. The first teacher was Joseph Rollands or Jas. B. McKenney. Of the scholars who attended school there is but one left in the county, viz., John McKenney.
