LORAMIE TOWNSHIP.
This township occupies the southwest corner of the county, and is seven miles from east to west, and five miles from north to south. It is crossed from the northeast corner to the centre of the west line by the C. C. C. & I. R. R., on which are located two stations. The northeast corner of the township is crossed by the canal and Loramie Creek. Nine Mile Creek traces in a general course from west to northeast, and enters the Loramie near Houston. A few minor streams enter Nine Mile Creek from the south, which are small, but still facilitate drainage.
The surface for the most part is level, and the west side is even low and flat. The soil is rich, and yields abundantly of the cereals and grasses. The villages are small, and consist of Houston, North Hous- ton, Mt. Jefferson, and Russia. The settlement is old and the commu- nity wealthy.
Settlement.
The settlement of this township dates back to the times immediately following the war of 1812. Indeed, a few settlers appear to have found this locality, and commenced rearing new homes in the new country, not only during the period of that strife, but anterior thereto. There was Samuel McClure, with his wife and children, who settled in section 9, on land now owned by J. W. Akin, prior to 1812. There may have been other settlers who came here as early, but real growth dates from about the year 1814, or immediately after the withdrawal of hostile forces from this section, the theatre of war having been pushed north- ward. Let us pause and glance at some of the settlers, and produce a chapter, which,
" Like the one Stray fragment of a wreck which thrown With the lost vessel's name ashore Tells who they were that live no more."
About 1814 Robert Houston, afterward a prominent citizen, came here with his family, and settled where the village of Houston now stands. The same year found David Houston and family locating on a part of the south half of section 8. The next year William and John Houston moved here with their families; the former settling in section 5, and the latter in section 8. In the autumn of 1815 William Morrow came here from Cumberland, Pa., with his wife and six children, and settled on section 27. In 1816 William Johnston, of Pennsylvania, settled in sec- tion 27, and John Patterson in the same section. In 1817 Wm. Skillen came from Westmoreland County, Pa., and settled in section 8. Zebe- diah Richardson came prior to this date, and occupied part of section 3. Wmn. Anderson, of Irish descent, moved to section 23, and Thomas Wyatt came to section 17 prior to this date. In 1818 Henry Zemer settled in section 6, and Jacob Black in section 13. In 1820 we find Jacob Everley came to section 13; David Clark to section 19; Henry Harp to section 20, and Robert Johnston to section 17. James Harvey and family came to section 18 about 1823; Joseph Blackwood to section 22 the same year, and Joseph Wyatt, now deceased, formerly of Miami County, to section 21 in 1831. In #823 William Johnston, a native of Ireland, settled on section 18; in 1832 William Legg came to section 16, and in 1826 William Ellis came to section 21, from Miami County; in 1830 Henry Day, with his wife and eight children, came to section 7; in 1837 Jacob S. Apple came from Montgomery County to section 30; in 1843 Henry S. Apple came to section 25 from Montgomery County; in 1833 John Worley, of Pennsylvania, came to section 25; the next year Christian Mader, of Germany, came to the same section; in 1840 Emanuel Sherer came to section 26; Jacob Rouston, of Maryland, came to section 26 in 1833; William Harrup, deceased, of England, came to section 7; in 1839 Peter Wright, of Pennsylvania, settled in Cynthian Township, but in 1848 came to section 3 of this township; J. R. Griffis, of Butler County, came to section 10 in 1838 or '39.
During the years from 1837 to 1844, inclusive, & French community grew up in this township and still preserves its identity, especially in the
