In 1931 he sailed for Gibraltar, and returned to New York in October following of that year. lu 1832 he sailed again from New York by way of Gibraltar to Magadore, where he met his old warm-hearted friend. William Willshire, and returned in the fall.


In March, 1833, he again loaded two vessels for Gibraltar, Algiers, and Magadore, and returned in the fall, and for several years continued his commercial relations with the African free ports until 1836, when his health failed him, and his physician advised rest and relaxation from commercial and maritime pursuits.


Early in the spring of 1837 he proceeded to France and Spain, and returned in the September following. We pass over several voyages until March 4, 1840, when Capt. Riley sailed from New York bound for St. Thomas, but lus health failed him, and the vessel was put under the care of W. R. Walworth, the first officer. His health failed him so rapidly that he remained in his cabin below until March 13, 1510, when he expired without a struggle or a groan, and his spirit crossed the river of death, but his mortal. remains, on March 18, 1840, were com- mitted to the seaman's sepulchre, there to repose " until the sea shall give up its dead."

JAMES WATSON RILEY. Clerk.


CALVIN ERASTUS RILEY,


a son of James Riley, and grandson of Capt. James Riley, is a native of Ohio, having been horn at St. Mary's Oct. 9, 1-30. About the year 1911 his parents moved to t'elina, but his father immediately therealtor received the appointment as land receiver at Lima, and so removed to that town, where he remained about two years, when he returned to St. Marys. In 13H the family moved to Columbus, but four years later returned to Celina. Their next move was to Toledo, but agam we find they soon returned to Celina. Calvin was engaged from the youth in farming, but in 1816 entered the milling business at Cehna. in which business he continued until 1860, when he moved to the farm he now occupies. In 1863 he movel to Deep Cut, Auglaize County, and engaged in the mercantile trade until 1-69, when he returned to the old home farm, where he still resides, and has become one of the largest grain producers in the county. He held the position of assessor and collector of revenue of Mercer County two years under appointment of President Lincoln. In 1:31 he married Miss Brandon, who is a native of Parke County, Ohio. They reared a family of seven children, of whom six are still living. The names of the children are as follows; Willshire (deceased , Jannie, wife of George Stearnes, Willshure, Robert Zura, Ashley, and Gracie.

HISTORY OF VAN WERT AND MERCER COUNTIES, OHIO.


HON. ROBERT LINZEE


was born twelve miles above Harrisburgh, Dauphin County, Pennsyl- vania, in 1774, and was the son of William and Mary Linzve. He bottled in Mercer County in 1832, and devoted himself to agricultural pursuits. His first wife was Mary Jane Johnston, whom he married at Athens, Ohio, in 1828. His second wife was Elveta Reynolds, who was born in New York City, in 1793. The names of his children are Julia, Franklin, Jane, Mary Ann, Benjamin, Caroline, Ruth H. Riley, Andrew Jackson, and George Washington; and of these Julia, Franklin, Jane and Mary, Caroline, and George Washington, are dead. The only re- maining members of the family are Benjamin, Ruth H. Riley, and Andrew Jackson.


We desire to place upon record the history of so devoted a citizen, who fulfilled his mission on earth so agrecably, and departed this life January 31, 1849, amid the sorrows and tears of the community at large.


From commissions yet extant, it appears that during his life be held thirty two commissions from the government. In Isol, when Ohio was a territory, he was commissioned ensign and sheritt by Governor Arthur St. Clair, and a marshal by Thomas Jefferson. In 1805 he was appointed sheriff of Athens County to fill a vacancy, by Gov. Edward Tiflin. and was reelected to the same office in Isoc, Iso9, and IsIl, successively. In 1811 was commissioned paymaster of the 2d Regiment Ist Brigade Ohio militia. In 1865 he was appointed by joint resolution of the Senate and House of Representatives of Ohio a commissioner to construct a State road from Athens to Chillicothe, and also from Athens to Marietta. . Mr. Linzee at the same time was also a representative in the House of Representatives from the Athens district, which he represented four terms, the seat of government being at that time at Chillicothe. In 1818 he was elected associate judge for Athens County, his commission being signed by Thomas Worthington, governor, which position he occupied until 1830, when he was appointed marshal to take the census of Athens County.

After moving to Mercer County in 1832. he was in 1835 . seted asso- ciate judge to fill the vacancy, and reflected to the same position in 1836, to which situation be was successively elected, and which he held until his death, the Hon. Geo. W. Raudabangh being his successor.


Judge Linzee moved from Athens, Ohio, in the fall of 1832, intending to locate in the Mossamonany Valley, Indiana, but on reaching St. Marys, then in Mercer County, was overtaken by severe weather, where he rented a farm-house near the village of St. Marys for the winter. He and his eldest son Franklin went to Mo-samohany reservation, where a treaty was in progress between the government officers and the Indians for the purchase of the reservation, but the Indians refused to sell. Mr. Linzee therefore was compelled to select some other location, and after a thorough investigation of the country around St. Mary's he determined to locate on the north side of the Beaver Prairie, as it was then called, now the Mercer County Reservoir. He came to this conclusion, from the splendor of the forest and fertility of the soil. This he improved, and occupied the remainder of his life, and on this he was buried.


In his lifetime he gave the school district land, the deed for which is in his own handwriting, specifying the fact that it was to be used for that purpose "as long as water runs and wood grows." Mr. Linzee also located what is known as the Huston farm for his son Franklin, and the Stearns farm for his nephew and namesake, Robert Linzee, Jr. The lands upon which he thus settled had been the site of an Indian village, called Old Town, which name the farm still holds.


The first improvement was a ten-acre field, which is in front of the graveyard in which Mr. Linzce is buried. When laying the fence on the ' north side of that field he remarked that this fence would be the line of a road leading from Bellefontaine, Ohio, to Bluffton, Indiana. and it has been for forty years. At that time there was only an Indian track west- ward from St. Marys, When the family moved from St. Marys in the spring of 1831 to the new farm, it was upon the ice and snow on its prairie.


For many years after Jefferson Township was organized it was his ambition to keep its inhabitants clear of litigation, as the present in- stance will illustrate. Messrs. Foster and Hanley had a disagreement in regard to a settlement of accounts, and both threatened to sue. The judge hearing of this, invited each without the knowledge of the other to come to his house on a certain evening, which they did, each embar- rassed by the presence of the other. After leading a little while in con- versation he suddenly remarked. I understand you have a difference between yourselves. Each state your case, and see if I cannot reconcile it. After both had made a statement, it was discovered that Mr. Foster was indebted to Mr. Hanley one dollar, which amount Foster declared he would not pay. Very well, said Judge Linzee, friendship is worth a dollar, and I will pay it. He took a silver dollar from his pocket and gave it to Mr. Hanley, and requested them to shake hands in friendship. This they did, and were ever afterwards good, true, and devoted friends. Thus did Judge Linace in many kind acts, and kept the people from litigation for many years,


At the time Judge Linge settled on his farm the nearest person to it was at St. Mary's on the east, and Bluffton, 40 miles on the west. Soon


afterwards half a dozen of his friends settled near, and within four years a school house was created, with an attendance of from 18 to 24 scholars. A young man by the name of Westley Herbert was the first teacher etal- ployed in the first log school-house ever built in Jefferson Township, and Andrew Jackson Linzee recited the first lesson in said school-house, the afternoon of the day on which it was finished.


HON. THOMAS JEFFERSON GODFREY.


Hon. T. J. Godfrey, a leading spirit, not only of the county, but also of Western Ohio, was born in Parke County, Ohio, June 6, 1831. His parents, E. B. and Sarah Elliott Godfrey, are still residents of the old home-farm in Parke County. To their son they gave a good common- school education, after which he attended two seminaries, and completed a scientific education at Asbury University, Green Castle, Ind. At the completion of his education he began teaching school, which profession he prosecuted in different Ohio and Indiana counties for a number of years. At length he began reading law with Messrs. Allen & Mecker. of Green Castle. Ind., and finally closed his law studies by graduating from the Cincinnati Law School in 1856-57. He was then admitted to practice by the Supreme Court at Columbus. A few weeks later he located at Celina, and began the practice of his profession, to which he has since adhered, and in which he has merited and won distinction. In 1863 he was elected prosecuting attorney of Mercer County, and in 1865 was nominated to the same office. Pending the election he was nominated to the State Senate by the district comprising Allen, Au- glaize, Defiance, Mercer, Pauling, Van Wert, and Williams counties. So successful and satisfactory were his services during his first term that he was elected again in 1867. At the organization of the General Issem- bly, in January, 1868, he was elected President of the Senate, which office he filled with credit to himself and satisfaction to the body. At the close of his senatorial career he received the Democratie nomination for Lieutenant Governor, with Hon. George H. Pendleton. now United States Senator from Ohio, as candidate for Governor. The ticket was defeated, but in 1873 Mr. Godfrey was elected a member of the Consti- tutional Convention, and served with that eminent- body during its sessions in 1973-74, and acted as a member of the Judiciary Committee. The convention completed its labors, but the people failed to ratify its action when the question was submitted at the polls. In the Presiden- tial campaign of Iss0, Mr. Godfrey was a candidate for elector on the Democratic ( Hancock) ticket for the Fifth Congressional District. but of course suffered defeat with his ticket, the State declaring at the elve- tion for Republican (Garfield) electors. In October. 1831. he was elected State Senator with the Hon. Elmer White, of Defiance, the senatorial distriet comprising the counties of Mercer, Van Wert, Auglaize, Allen. Paulding, and Defiance. For a number of years he has been a dilines and active member of the Board of Trustees of the Ohio State Uniser- sity, an institution of which any State might feel proud, and in the prosperity and success of which Mr. Godfrey takes a deep and abiding interest. But it is characteristic of the man. his inclination of this ! being towards educational interests and institutions, to which he is devoted largely of his time and contributed liberally of his mean -. I .. home affairs of education he is ever a leading and enthusiastic worker : and after all the political honor, and distinctions he has won, it is prois- able he takes more pride in the efforts he has contributed to educational interests, and the modest credits he has earned in this field, than is afforded by his whole political life. He is distinctly an educator, and not a politician by tastes and habits of thought. He would labor with much more enthusiasm to advance the cause of education, even in his own county, than to secure an election to the State Senate. The teach- ers, parents, and children owe him a debt of gratitude for his labors towards the elevation of the schools which will be appreciated by the children, if not by the teachers and parents. In this direction he is building for to-morrow, and that life which leaves a hallowed imprint upon the to-morrow of men and women is the life best and noblest in is fruits. Mr. Godfrey has taken special pride in the teachers' institutes of the county, and has thereby done much to elevate the standard of the schools, by broadening the bleas and capacities of the teachers. More than any man in the county he has devoted time and effort to education, to which he well lock. for the best and proudest results to posterity, for in education he recognizes the hope of the government, as it is of the people. He is right, and whatever honor he may gain in politics, as such, will never to a man of his tastes and hopes equal the honor to be derived from devotion to the cause of education.


Aside from these labors, he was associated with the first building and Joan association organized in Celina, the other stockholders being R. G. Blake, G. W. Raudabaugh, E. M. Piper, A. P. J. Suyder, T. G. Touselle. Witham Dickman, Ch. Schock, and S. S. Sayder. The company was chartered as the " Celina Building and Loan Association," Feb. 2. 1.77. On the 12th of March the stockholders held a meeting for the election of officers, and Mr. Godfrey was chosen President. In 1972, Dr. D. Milligan, of Fort Recovery, Mr. Godfrey, and John Milligan purchased the whole stock of the association, surrendered its chatter, and organ. ized a banking-hotre, under the style of " Milligan, Godfrey & Co.," in

IHISTORY OF VAN WERT AND MERCER COUNTIES, OHIO.


Febre iry, 1874. On the death of Dr. Milligan the firm-style was changed to " Godfrey & Milligan," which is the present style, the house being recognized and quoted in commercial circles as reliable and trustworthy.


Mr. Godfrey, aside from professional and commercial duties, finds great pleasme in agriculture and stock-raising, and during the past few years has devoted considerable attention to line cattle, and have now a mtuber of Jerseys on his home-farm. He has thus labored in legal, educational, and political professions and positions, and in commercial and agricultural transactions and pursuits. He has been true to his lif profession, but has also been a friend to schools and colleges. Neither has his interest in educational or benevolent institutions been circumscribed by county lines. His work has gone beyond the county, and is even worthy of special recognition as associated with the growth and prosperity of the Ohio State University, of which every intelligent citizen of the State is justly proud.


In September, 1959, Mr. Godfrey married Miss Lorinda Milligan. They have one child, a daughter, Miss Lou, who has just completed her cilucation, and returned to her home from the seminary. As a young laly of five education and womanly traits, she is highly esteemed and even loved by all who enjoy her acquaintanceship.
