General Description.


Jennings Creek has its source in this township. in what is known as Jenuiters Prairie. This prairie embraces the most of sietions 19 and 20, and extend into section 15 of York Township. It was formerly very wet, but since settlements legan, it has been so thoroughly drained that it is rendered highly productive, the soil being of a very little quality. The general dip of the terutory is to the northeast, in which direction Jennings Check and other mall streams find an outlet to the Auglaize River. The watershet has sufficient inclination to afford ex- cellent drainage. Good limestone water is everywhere obtainable for domestic use at a depth ranging from ten to forty feet. Farm products


are of the class common to this section, consisting of a variety of fruits and certas. The whole township is now well improved, and occupied by a frugal, industrious class of citizens. Buildings are plain but com- mentions and sub man', ' while schools and churches are found dotted throughout the territory. "

CHURCHES. Hopewell United Brethren Church.


This society was organized abont 1554 by the Rev. C. B. Whitley. They worshipped in a school house north of the prairie in Jennings Township for a few years, or until about 1858, when they removed to the school house south of the prairie, where Centre ville is now located. In the schoolhouse they bett their meetings until Ises, when the Metho- dist Episcopal Church united with them in the creation of a hewed low house, Of by Be feet, located in Jennings Township one mile north of Centreville, in which the two congregations met and worshipped for many years, or until ISTS. At this time they purchased the Methodist Episcopal Society's interest in the building, and have since occupied it, with the exception of part of the time the Congregational Church has beld their meetings in the United Brethren Church.


The member-lupe at this time numbers twenty-one, with the Rev. Jas. Nicodemus, its present pastor. Thi- church organization and the Mount Zion society belong to the Auglaize Conference.


The present class-leader is Eli Wilson, and the steward is Harrison Hanley. None of those who were members at its organization are living in the neighborhood. There has been a Sunday-school organized since the erection of the church, which' meets during the summer and part of the winter months. This school is in a prosperous condition, and beneficial to the community at large.


Olive Chapel of the Methodist Episcopal Church.


This church is located in Centreville, Jennings Township. The soci- ety was organized in 1>54, with ten or twelve members, by the Rev. Mr. Baker. They hell their worship in the school-house of District No. 2, Jennings Township, for a number of years, as the society was not able to ereet a building.


In 1885 this church, by the assistance of the United Brethren Church. erected a hewed log building, 34 by 36 feet, at the Cross Roads, one mile north of Centreville, in which the two church organizations met and held rebginas services until 1878, when the Methodist Episcopal Church sold their interest to the United Brethren Church. The Metho- dists then erector their present church, 31 by 36 feet, in which they meet aint worship according to the dictates of conscience and their adopted forms of government.


The church he's been very prosperous in its work. The membership at present is about fifty-five, under the pastorate of Rev. Samuel Borgs. It has a Sabbatschool, which meets every Sabbath, with an average attendance of about eighty scholars, and is prosperous and well attended.


The Jennings Church, or the Christian Church known as the " New Lights."


This organization has existed in this township for nearly forty years. They were few in numbers, but feeling the necessity of an organization of this kind, they mel and organized themselves into a church society in a school-houtze which stood half a mile west of their present church building. For twenty years, or until 1860, when their membership num- bering about forty. they felt the want of a suitable edifier, and took innmediate and energetic measures for its erection, which was completed and de lieated to the worship of God in the fall of 1860


The Church is erected near the Cross Roads, on section 21. Jennings Township. By removal of members and also by death the membership has been reduced to fifteen : notwithstanding this they eling steadfastly Lo the church of their choice.


The names of the ministers who have officiated are Rev. Daniel Rich- ardson, Rev. Simeon Whetstone. Rev. Israel Jolins, Rov, Jonathan Bir- low, Rev. Simon Whetstone, Rev. Nathan Ruff, and Rov. John Gillespie. Sunday-school has been held in their church for many years, the average attendance being from fifty to sixty scholars.


Salem Welsh Presbyterian Church.


This church organization took place in 1847 or 1845, and shortly after the Welsh settlement was commenced in York and Jennings townships. There were but tow in munhers at the time of the organization, viz .. William Bubb and wife, Richard Jervis and wife, Thomas Morris and family, and David Owens and Ronily, Among its first members were Wilham Bebb, bang their leader or elder in the church.


They bell their meetings in the house of Elder William Bebb for a few years. Their numbers increased rapidly as the town ship increased in population.


In Isal they everted a frame church building, 20 by 0 feet, where the schoolhouse now stands, in Venedorit and which was decreated by the Rev. Robert Williams and Evan S. Jones, of Jackson County, Onio.


Their meetings were principally prayer- meetings and Sabbath-school, with occasional preaching when a minister would pass through the settlement and deliver a seruton.


Things moved on in this way for several years, and until 1-65, when the church elected the Rev. Hugh Pugh to take charge, and who labored for ten years. In 1975 Res. J. P. Morgan was called, who has since been their pastor.


The church grew fast and prospered, increasing their numbers to hundreds. At one time their membership numbered two hundred and forty good active Christians. In 1967 they began the erection of a frame building in Venedocia, 40 by Go feet, which was completed and dedicated July 4. 1868, by Rev. H. Powell, of Cincinnati, and Rev. Thomas Levi, of Wales.


After sending off two branch organizations they still have a member- ship of about two hundred. The elders of the church have been Wil- liam Bebb, deceased, Jeremiah Parry, David M. Jones, Thomas A. Albon, D. W. Evans, R. J. Whittington, and Morgan HI. Morgan, who now holds his ellership in the Horeb Church.


They have had a regular Sabbath-school organization since the organ- ization of the church, with an attendance of 170 scholars. D. W. Evans and J. Morris are the present superintendents.


In 1978, for the accommodation of a part of their members, who lived some distance from the church. the society erected a frame build- ing 20 by 30 fret on section 9, in York Township, about four nuiles northwest of Venetocia, in which those of their members who live in that neighborhood hold their church meetings and Sunday-school, but still retain their membership with the Salem Church in Venedocia.


Horeb Welsh Presbyterian Church.


In 1864 the Salem Church Society erected a log-house in Jennings Township, two and one-half miles northeast of Venedocia, for the ne- commodation of their members in that neighborhood. They held church and Sunday-school in the building until 1879, when they erected a frame church near the old one, 30 by 40 feet, which has served them for relig- ious purposes. They, however, retained their membership in the Salein Church until June, 1881, when they were declared by Presbytery to he an independent organization. with Morgan H. Morgan as Elder. They have no regular minister, but occasionally the pulpit is supplied. The Rev. J. P. Morgan has preached for them several times. Their Sabbath- . school is well attended by young and old.


Kingsley Methodist Episcopal Church.


In 1869, David Thomas and others, organized a class in Divert's school-house, with Mr. F. Ross, first class-leader. The class consisted of fourteen members, and their services were held in the school-house two years, with Rev. James S. MI-, Pastor, assisted by others.


In 1870 the organization resolved to erect a house for church pur- poses, which was a frame building, 30 by 40 feet, and which was com- pleted at a cost of twelve hundred dollars, and in which they have since worshipped. This church has grown from fourteen to sixty-five mem- bers, with a good Sabbath-school, of which R. L. Ross is superintendent. The church was dedicated in October, 1572, by Rev. Samuel Roberts, the P'residing Elder.


Whitfield Methodist Episcopal Church


was organized in the school-house of district No. 6, by Rev. David Thomas (a local minister) in I>73, with eleven members. Shortly after its organization they made arrangements to erect a church, the building to be framework, 50 by 40 feet. in the southeast section of No. 4, and was dedicated January 1, 1574, by the Rev. J. Crooks.


Their present membership is eighty-two. They have had the follow- ing pastors: Rev. David Thomas. Rev. J. Crooks, Rev. Catch HIHI, and Rev. J. F. Mounts. The class-lenders were: John S. Barton and Henry Hipshire, who have filled the position since the society was organized.


Three years prior to the church organization, the Sabbathschool was established, which has been a perfect success. Number of scholars in attendance about thirty-five.


VENEDOCI.A.


This beautiful village is located in the southeastern part of Van Wert County, on the line of the Toledo, Delphos and Burlington Railway. with the line between Jennings and York townships, passing through the centre of the town.


The first improvement on the land was made in 1847 by William Belh. and was used for farming purposes for many years. In Ise1 the land on which the main portion of the village is located, came into the bands of D. W. Evans, a son-in-law of Mr. Bebb,


In 1843 Mr. Evans sold the first lot for building purposes to Mr. W. E. Jones, who immediately erected a frame building. The next ket was sold to R. J. Whittington and E. A. Evans, who erected a storequom and engaged in the mercantile business. Lots were sold by Mr. Evans promiscuously to different parties and built on until Isso, when the town

WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP.


Tims township is in the eastern part of the county, and is described as township No. 2 south, range feast. It is bounded on the north by Jackson Township and Putnam County, on the east by Putnam and Allen counties, on the South by Allen County and Jennings Township, and on the west by Ridge Township. The order of the commissioners for the organization of this township was issued March 2, 1%10. The area of Washington Township is thirty-six square miles, it being six miles square.


Hlow Watered.


It is one of the best watered townships in the county. Dog Creek, Little Auglaize, and East and West Jennings creeks course through different portions of the township, and, with a system of ditches, form a network whose branches penetrate every part of the town-hip, and thus establish an excellent system of drainage.


The surface is generally level, bat anticiently undulating for drain- age. The township is crossed by a sandy ridge, extending through the township in a southeast and northwest direction. The soil is a chi loam, and is very rich and fertile, and it is no exaggeration to say that some of the finest fatis in the county may be found within the limits of Washington Town-hip, and that the improvements generally are of an excellent character and betoken thrift on the part of the people. The inhabitants, particularly in the eastern part of the township, are Germans or of German descent.


Washington, in its natural state, was heavily timbered, and the forests were filled with wild animals of various kinds. affording a rich field for those who were fond of hunting. This, and adjoining territory, were the favorite hunting grounds for many years for the Indians and early sat- tlers, and some of the most interesting and exciting incidents in the experience of the settlers in their contests with wild and ferocious ani- mais have had their origin on these hunting grounds. Many have been the wolves, hears, and deer that have met their fate at the crack of Unele Smith Hill's ride in these woods.


Apple Trees.


The first apple tree discovered in what is now Van Wert County, was in the year 1$12, in what is Washington Township. It was found by white men who were on a visit to this section of country. It had grown among the forest trees to an immense size; its roots penetrating an In- dian mound, which belonged to the past. The meund was on the north bank of the Auglaize River, where the Ridge Township wagon road passes the residence of Mr. Tussing, not far from Middle Point in Wo ... ington Township, the former home of Oliver Stacey, who entered the land and built the first house in that part of the county. In 1955 . .. mound was cut down to make way for the Delphos road. hence the roots of the tree were exposed to the effects of the weather, which caused it to wither and die.


Early Settlement.


First Settlers .- The first settler in the township was Oliver Starcy, who entered his land in April. 1835. but did not move to it till Febru- ary, 1836. There were several pieces of land entered as early as 1-36. but were not occupied for several years afterward. Very shortly after Mr. Stacey come he was followed by Nathan Davis, Nathaniel Ashabel. and Orrin Burret, and they, in the fall of 1836, by David King and John Summersett.


First Buildings-The first log cabin built in the township was by Oliver Stacey. This cabin is still standing, and has been occupied up to the present time.


The first hewed Jog house was built by David King. The first brick house by Silas Newton.


School House .- The first school-house in the township was built in the fall of IS37. on the land of David King, and the first school was taught by Miss Clarissa Gleason.


Roads .- The first round was the Bucyrus and Fort Wayne Road, known as the Sugar Ridge Road.


The first religious society was formed at King's school-house in the fall of Iss, but prior to this time the settlers of Washington attended church in Ridge Township, where a society had been formed a munir of years prior to this time.


The first church building erected in the township was a Lutheran Church in the town of Milik point.


Washington Township has two towns within its limits, viz., Middle- point, near the west line of the township, and Delphos on the cast line. Only a part of the brown of Delphos is in Van Wert County, the cast part of the town being in Allen County.
