At the titue the material was collecting for this work the business and professional interests of the town were represented largely. as shown by the above list. Since that time several changes have meddoubtally occurred, among which our attention has been called to the removal of the woollen mills of Kienning & Sons, and the change of proprietor-hip of the Commercial Hotel. At that time the town was making important street improvements, the Main Street having been widened, graded, and tidler process of graveling, to the depot of the I. E. & W. Railway. Other improvements were making, such as the erection of new busi- He's houses and dwellings, which, with something of an unusual increase of inhabitants, gave the town a new and unprecedented impetus. That growth may well continue. auml those improvements go forward for years to cine, as the town is advantageously situated in a fertile district.

* Since this work went to press this factory has been removed to Celina, by Kronving & Son.

INCIDENT.

At Fort Recovery, in the spring of 1852, a son of Daniel Vantrees, E-q., was grabbing on an out-lot owned by Isaiah Totten, of Fort Re- covery. When about to take his dinner he threw the gruthing-hoe to the roots of a large fallen rotten oak, when the blade of his hoe struck upon some metal. Upon investigation he found underneath the rotten wood some iron bands, which had enclosed a small wooden box. When the earth and wood were removed they found what seemed to be the con- tenty of the box -nine hundred pieces of silver coin, Spanish doubloons. or near the value of $14,000. This was supposed to be the paymaster's box of gold, that " at the tune of the battle of November the Ith, 1791, of General St. Clair's defeat." was placed on the east side of a large white oak, in a curvature made by fire or deegy, on the field of battle; near a bluff bank. In the year IsIs a man appeared at Fort Recovery who planned to be a Virginia soldier, and was in the battle at St. Clair's defeat ; that he was in search of the lost treasure that was deposited under a standing oak on the battle-field. He remained some time, and was afterwards found dead in the woods.

HISTORY OF VAN WERT AND MERCER COUNTIES, OHIO.

BIOGRAPHIES.

JOHN HENRY WILLIAM KRENNING

is the son of Barnet Henry Krenuing and his wife Auna Mary Bishop Kremming, and was born Feb. 25. 1-21. He was brought up in the king- dom of Hanover, under the king of Hanover, but now Prussig. He re- ceived a comeon school education at the city of Helter, and has the arithmetic in his possession, printed in Hanover in 1-27, upon the last page of which is handsomely written "Johann Heinrich Wilbehn Kren- bing." He has also the Bible presented to him by his teacher in Ises. With these are his passports, with a full description of his person when he left Germany.

At the age of sixteen years he was apprenticed for three years to learn the cabinet-making trade, and after he had completed his full term he worked one year. At its expiration he was so intent on emigrating to America that, on the very day his term of one year had expired. he pro- cured by subscription $15, and his brother advanced the bedance. $21. He left Breann in the ship Camper in the month of June, 1812, and ar- rived in Baltimore, Md., the following August, and from there went to Cincinnati, Ohio, the latter part of September, 1-43.

In Cincinnati he learned the carpenter trade by devoting himself two years to become proficient thereis ; but during these two years he received but fifty cents per day. In 124t he became a contractor for buiklings of every description, and from this time, through a long and eventinh life of twenty-eight years, by patient industry. strict attention to business. high moral character, and an approving conscience in the work and duties of life. he has amassed a considerable fortune. All this being accomplished, he retired from city life and its fascinations, and removed to enjoy the quiet town of Recovery. But his mind was not at case, and he again assumed life's cares and life's duties, as the sequel will show. When he settled on his farm in Gibson Township (the Johnston farin) in 1870, he lived there but one year, and then rented it and settled in Recovery, and built a store-house, and went to merchandising and car- rying on a woollen factory. The stock consists of dry goods, gro- ceries, boots, shoes, and every variety of goods for family use. In the woollen factory jeans, blankets, and stocking yarns are manufactured. llis son William is a partner with his father. The store-room and dwelling-house is on the property upon which old Fort Recovery stood on the Wabash River. Both the store-room and dwelling-house was erected by Mr. Kreuning.

When Mr. Krenning bought the property. the old stockade or fort stood on the bank of the Wabash, and was used as a house. The in- mates of the fort, on account of the Indians laying in ambuscade along the river, were compelled to dig a well forty feet deep to procure water, which was lined with walnut puncheons split out of walnut trees. It has also been established as a fact by subsequent events that, at the time of St. Clair's war. the muskets were thrown into the well to prevent the Indians from obtaining them. After the war was over forty muskets were taken out of the well, which are preserved as memorials among the inhabitants.

John It. W. Krenning married in 1815 Mrs Anne Mary Schwartz (the widow of Mr. Schwartz, who had three children). She was born in the kingdom of Hanover in 1815, in the town of Bramsche, and emigrated to America in 1833. The family arrived in Baltimore, M.L .. and then left for Wheeling, Va. The names of the children of J. It. W. Krenning are William. Jr .. Louisa, Henry R, George W., and Amelia.

Mrs. Kronning, ver Schwartz, is the daughter of Halman Rudolph Kru- ser and his wife Maria Adeline Reddocker. Their children, Amm Mary, Catharine, Hannah Rudolph, John Heinrich, Hermon, Regina, Henry, William, Lizzie, Dorotha. Lived in Wheeling four years, and removed to New Bremen in 1835. Mr. Kruser died in Isth, and the Runily moved to l'incinnati, Ohio, having sold their land. Mr. and Mrs. Kren- ning, with their friends, celebrated their silver wedding in ISTO.

In addition to the above we may state that Mr Krenning found the bones of Gen. Batler on the digzing of his store-room on the northwest corner, which were buried July 1. 1516, a military company from Exton participating in the ceremonies. The colliu was made of walnut. Dr. D. 1. Robinson says the supposed skeleton of Gen. Butler, which was found as above, was is a good state of preservation, and that the walnut collin had been put together with wrought nails.
