The building was then under the control of the village council. At 8 o'clock the following morning a meeting of the council was held, at which Prof. Brown appeared. Having learned the facts of the situation he expressed his delight with the location of the college building, and asked the council if they would finish it and give it to him on condition that he re-establish the school. The council was heartily in favor of the project, and arranged for a meeting of the citizens of the town to be held in the town hall the following week.
Prof. Brown immediately went to Cincinnati and tried to interest his father. Rev. Dr. W. K. Brown, the president of the Cincinnati Wesleyan College, in the plan. In this attempt he was unsuccessful, since Dr. Brown felt that it was bet- ter to test his son's power to start the movement than to learn his lack of ability to sustain it.
At the town meeting held the following week, the citizens of the town, after hearing Prof. Brown enthusiastically outline his plans, took favorable action. It was unanimously voted to advise the council to complete the building, making certain suggested improvements, and to lease it to Prof. Brown in perpetuity, for school purposes, at a rental of one dollar a year. Work was immediately be- gun and was prosecuted with such vigor that the improvements were completed, the building was furnished, and school was opened, with great rejoicing of the entire community, on February 4, 1886.
In 1887 the school was chartered under the name of Twin Valley College and Ohio Conservatory of Music, and Prof. Brown was elected president. Years of struggle followed. Many times failure seemed certain. During this trying period many friends aided in various ways, but even the most hopeful were finally com- pelled to admit that their cherished hope of having an educational institution in their midst was again to be dashed to the ground. Even Pres. Brown would at one time have given up in despair had it not been for the indomitable spirit of his faithful wife (the daughter of one of the donors to the original building fund, who did not live to see the completion of the college he so earnestly desired).
At length, all resources having been exhausted, Prof. Brown could not even employ a faculty. At this point he stopped trying to do what ought to be done by a college, and began, with but one assistant, to develop characteristically, such
880
DAYTON AND MONTGOMERY COUNTY
boys as he might be able to secure. From that date the progress of the school has been continuous.
In 1894 the Miami Military Institute was organized, and the military idea has been gradually incorporated into the school system.
In 1903 the original building was completely destroyed by fire, and temporary homes for the cadets and rooms for recitations were provided in the village for the remainder of the school year. During the summer of 1904 a splendid new building was erected. To this much enlarged structure additional capacity has already been supplied, and even now further enlargement must be made to meet the ever increasing demand for admission.
In 1906 the secretary of war detailed an officer of the United States army to be commandant of cadets, and each annual inspection made since then by the war department has placed the school in Class A, or, in other words, has denominated it as one of the twenty-two best military schools in the United States.
The academic work has been maintained at the highest standard, and is given full credit by all universities, so that M. M. I. graduates are received by them without examination.
LIBRARY. Germantown has a model library building, costing ten thousand dol- lars, this sum having been given for the purpose by Andrew Carnegie. The build- ing was begun in the fall of 1895 and was first occupied in July, 1897. Jacob An- trim had previously given the lot on which the building was erected. However, it was found necessary to buy an adjoining lot to secure the necessary ground. For seven years the library had been housed in a small frame building on the lot given by Mr. Antrim. Before that time it had accommodations for a short time in an upstairs rented room. The first books serving as a basis for the library were given by citizens of Dayton who had been born and brought up at German- town. Some of these contributors were: L. B. Gunckel, Valentine Winters and Albert Kern. The library contains five thousand volumes. It is under the man- agement of the board of education. Mrs. Adelaide Taylor, the present librarian, has served in that office almost from the beginning.
REFORMED CHURCH. The history of the Reformed church at Germantown dates back to the beginning of the nineteenth century. The first members of the Reformed church came from Berks county and Center county, Pennsylvania, in 1804. From this time on emigrants came rapidly, and until 1810 the county was thickly settled by Reformed and Lutheran people. The people worshiped in pri- vate houses and without an organization until about 1809, when the organization was effected that still exists.
The first house of worship was a log structure that cost five hundred dollars, erected by the Reformed and Lutheran people, on a piece of ground a few yards to the southwest of the present Lutheran church. It was completed in 1810. Here the two congregations worshiped until the house became too small.
To meet the demand for increased room Judge Philip Gunckel, a member of the Reformed church, had erected at his own expense a large and commodious brick structure at what was then the west end of Market street, on ground now occupied by the Reformed church. This he sold to the Reformed and Lutheran congregations, and in 1828 the two congregations abandoned the old log structure and moved into the new house. Here they worshiped together for two years, and
REFORMED CHURCH OF GERMANTOWN
883
DAYTON AND MONTGOMERY COUNTY
in 1830 the Lutheran congregation went back to the old log church. By this act the two congregations were forever separated, so far as worship was concerned, but they still held in common the one acre of ground purchased by Philip Gunckel for graveyard and church purposes. This joint ownership continued up to the year 1879. In this year the Lutheran people gave to the Reformed congregation one hundred dollars and the interest they held in the church bought of Philip Gunckel for the one-half interest the Reformeds held in the graveyard.
The congregation worshiped in the brick church as above named until 1866. In this year the building was taken down and the structure erected that was de- stroyed by cyclone April 7, 1907. The congregation used the basement until 1879, when the auditorium was completed and dedicated. The corner stone of the present large and beautiful church was laid November 3, 1907. The church was dedicated October 4, 1909.
Among the early ministers who labored in these regions were Revs. LaRose and Christman. The latter came from North Carolina about 1803, and LaRose from the same state in 1804. Rev. LaRose lived in Miami township, near Miamisburg, where he cultivated a farm. He died in his ninety-first year.
Rev. Christman is said to have been the first Reformed minister in the state of Ohio. His residence was in Clear Creek township, Warren county, where he died at the age of sixty-five years. Both these pioneers labored in Germantown. but in the year 1815 the congregation called Rev. Thomas Winters as their first regular pastor. He served the church for twenty-five years, preaching at the same time in the Slifer church, Clear Creek, in Warren county, Alexandria and Lewisburg, in Preble county, and at Beaver Creek, in Greene county. Rev. Win- ters retired in 1840, because of the infirmities of old age.
Rev. George Long was then called, and was here from 1840 to 1846. He was succeeded by Rev. S. K. Dennius, who served the church until 1850. The pastors to the present are :
John Kersher, 1852-56; Aaron Wanner, '1857-62 ; George W. Williard, 1862- 66; H. C. Comfort, 1866-67 ; J. B. Shumaker, 1867-68; Joseph H. Apple, 1869-73; Charles W. Good, 1873-76; Peter C. Prugh, 1876-82; E. R. Williard, 1882-86; E. M. Beck, 1886-89; W. H. Tussing, 1889-91; E. E. Weller, 1892-96; Daniel Burghalter, 1896-98; E. E. Young, 1899-1903; C. M. Rohrbaugh, 1903-06; R. F. Schultz, Dec. 23, 1906- .
EMMANUAL'S EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH. In 1909 this church cele- brated the centennial of its organization. Earlier than this round one-hundred- year period, however, beginnings were already laid. Pennsylvania Germans of the Lutheran faith formed a large proportion of the earliest settlers of the Twin valley. The year 1809 found both the Lutherans and the Reformed strong enough for each to effect some kind of an organization and to discuss plans for erecting a church building. The building erected by the two congregations was a log structure costing two hundred dollars. Rev. Andrew Simon became the first pastor in 1810 and served until 1813. His successor was Rev. John Caspar Dill, who entered upon his pastorate in 1815. After his death, in 1824. the pulpit was vacant for a year. In 1826 Rev. Andrew Henkel became pastor. In 1865 Rev. J. L. Stirewalt became assistant pastor, and, on the death of Rev. Henkel in 1870, became the sole pastor. In these early days Germantown, Slifer's, Farm-
884
DAYTON AND MONTGOMERY COUNTY
ersville and sometimes other places were served by the Germantown pastor. On the death of Rev. Stirewalt in 1872, Rev. John P. Hentz became pastor. On the resignation of Rev. Hentz in 1884, Rev. Albert F. Siebert, the present pastor, became his successor. During the twenty-five years that Dr. Siebert has served as pastor there has been constant growth in the membership and work of the con- gregation. The membership has increased from three hundred and fifty members to four hundred and fifty.
The second church building occupied by both the Lutheran and the Reformed congregations was built in 1828, where the present Reformed church now stands. In 1830 the Lutheran congregation transferred its services to the old church building. In 1831 the Lutheran congregation laid the corner stone for a new building. The exact time when the church was dedicated cannot be ascertained. With the possession of a building, owned and controlled by the congregation, a new era of prosperity began. In 1867 the church building was remodeled and made almost a new building, at a cost of about seven thousand, five hundred dol- lars. The lofty spire was erected in 1880. The pastor and the congregation have a large influence in Germantown and the adjacent country.
Rev. John Casper Dill was, perhaps, the most cultured minister who, a century ago, lived and labored in the Miami valley. He was pastor of a parish consisting of the Lutheran congregations at Germantown-Stettler's and Gebhart's-but extended his work in every direction. He was born at Wertheim in the province of Franconia, now in Baden, Germany, on February 2, 1758. He studied in the university at Giessen in Hessen-Darmstadt, where he finished his literary and theological course. He emigrated to America in 1790 and was led to preach in 1802. He entered upon his labors in Montgomery county in the summer of 1815.
THE MESSIAH LUTHERAN CHURCH was organized Aug. 20, 1879, with a membership of fifteen. The present membership is forty. The pastors have been as follows: G. M. Grau, 1879; J. W. Swick, 1880; J. Link. 1888; supplied by students, 1889: A. A. Hundley, 1891 ; T. A. Estell, 1895; J. H. Miller, 1902; N. H. Royer, the present pastor, 1904.
THE UNITED BRETHREN congregation dates its beginning in Germantown and the surrounding territory back to 1806, when a society was organized in the house of Rev. Andrew Zeller, then living about one and one-half miles north- west of Germantown. Services were held in private houses and barns for a number of years. The Miami conference met in the neighborhood of German- town in 1812, 1814, 1816 and 1822. The first church building was a small brick structure erected in 1829 on Plum street. The building was enlarged in 1848 and continued to be used until the present building was built on Cherry street in 1878 during the pastorate of Rev. J. P. Landis.
The following agreement is included here as representing conditions at the time when it was entered into.

The general conference sessions of the United Brethren church were held in Germantown in 1837 and 1849. The Germantown congregation has been from the beginning a strong and active congregation, enrolling in its membership many of the most substantial people in Germantown. The present membership is three hundred and seventy-five. In the later period of the church, the pastors have been as follows: 1877, J. P. Landis ; 1880, C. J. Burkert ; 1881, W. J. Pruner ; 1882, C. J. Burkert ; 1883, J. L. Swain ; 1884, C. Briggs; 1885, F. G. Griggsby ; 1889, J. W. Kilbourn : 1891, G. P. Macklin ; 1893, J. G. Huber ; 1899, C. J. Burkert ; 1900, C. W. Kurtz; 1902, W. C. Niswonger ; 1908, W. M. Vansickle, the present pastor
THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH. This church was organized about 1834, and in 1837 built its first house of worship. The church was enlarged and remodeled in 1865. About 1848 a part of this congregation split off and organ- ized a Methodist Protestant church. The more recent pastors of this church have been the following: 1894, O. D. Becker ; 1895, E. A. Harper : 1897, H. L. Torbet ; 1900, Clifford L. Myers ; 1901, S. A. Stephen ; 1903, Dudley Matthews ; 1904, Jacob J. Hanck ; 1907, G. E. McDonald ; 1909, Norman O. Sweat. The member- ship of the church is one hundred and thirty-six. The Sunday-school numbers one hundred and fifty members.
DOCTORS. Dr. Boss was the first physician known to have practiced med- icine in the Twin valley. He came to German township in 1805 and made his home with John Pauly who resided where Sunsbury now stands. He died in 1807. Dr. Benjamin Dubois, residing a few miles south of Germantown, was the only physician for some years who, after the death of Dr. Boss, practiced for a few years in the Twin valley. Drs. Peter and John Treon, residing at Miamis- burg, were for some years the only practitioners in the Twin valley. Adam and Michael Zeller who came to the Twin valley in 1806 opened a drug store in Ger-
886
DAYTON AND MONTGOMERY COUNTY
inantown in 1824. Though not physicians they were frequently consulted in cases of sickness. Dr. George W. Miller came to Germantown in 1816, having previously practiced as a physician. After three years he removed from German- town. Dr. Emanuel Rusk began to practice in 1820 and died in 1823. Dr. C. G. Espich was the first of Germantown's physicians who acquired a permanent resi- dence. He came to Germantown from New Philadelphia, Ohio, in 1820. After a useful career as a physician, Dr. Espich died in 1853. Other physicians who have practiced at Germantown were: Michael Trout, James Comstock, James Lawder, J. E. Donellan, Daniel Eckert, J. J. Antrim, John Robinson, and J. W. Cline. Mr. Hentz to whom we are indebted for this list of early physicians men- tions some others who practiced for but a short time. Dr. Trout deserves men- tion because of the many years through which his practice extended, serving forty-five years at Germantown and having served five years at Germantown, Indiana. Dr. Robinson came to Germantown in 1870 and there died in 1906. He was a man of fine breeding and an excellent physician. Germantown at the present time is well served by a corps of skilled physicians. Their names with their periods of practice in Germantown are the following: J. A. Brown, thirty- one years ; T. H. Dickinson, two years ; N. W. Cowden, six years ; W. W. Hetzler, ten or more years ; J. L. Travis, twenty years; P. A. Kemper, five years. The last named belongs to the eclectic school. The others are classed as regulars.
ATTORNEYS. The legal profession in Germantown was represented by John Kelso, who began practice in 1828, remaining eight years. Moses B. Walker began practice about 1843 and continued until the Civil war, being in partnership_ for a time with H. V. R. Lord. George F. Walker, J. Sharts and William Shuey were engaged in the practice of law for limited periods. The present attorneys are L. S. Crickmore, Harry Wolf and C. A. Eby.
THE PRESS. The first paper started in Germantown was established in 1826 by Conrad Schaeffer. One half of the paper was published in German and the other half in English. The publisher remained in Germantown but one year.
In 1839 George Walker came to Germantown, bringing with him a printing press and entered upon what he believed would prove a profitable enterprise- the translating and printing of the laws of Ohio into the German language. They issued a number of volumes but found few purchasers. The venture resulted disastrously.
The Germantown Gazette was revived in 1845 by William Gunckel in part- nership with Moses B. Walker. The publication of the paper was continued until 1849, when it was sold to Joseph Reeder and Josiah Oblinger, who changed the name to the Western Emporium which was itself later changed to the Twin Val- ley Locomotive. Later the printing outfit was bought by a man by the name of Pepper, who after conducting it a year or two discontinued its publication. In 1855 the American Republication was issued by Solomon Miller. The paper was discontinued in 1857. In 1858 the Germantown Independent was launched by J. F. Meyers. This paper was discontinued in 1863. In 1869 C. W. Dunifer started a paper which he named the Dollar Times. In 1874 this paper was dis- continued. In 1875 the Germantown Press made its appearance. It is now in its thirty-sixth volume. H. A. Smalley, the present editor and publisher, has been in charge for seventeen years. He changed the paper from its former democratic
,

position to a republican paper. The Germantown Herald is now in its thirtieth year. Dr. Lorne Wilkie is the present publisher and editor. It bore originally the name Record and had a succession of editors and publishers, beginning with V. B. Stevens, the founder.
Until comparatively recently Germantown occupied an isolated position. The Dayton and Germantown pike was built in 1837 and by other pikes there came to be connections with surrounding towns but these could not meet all of the present day requirements. The Cincinnati and Northern railroad was built through Ger- mantown in 1886 and traction connection with Miamisburg, Dayton and Cincin- nati was secured in 1901.
SUNSBURY.
Jacob Beard and Daniel Gunckel, Sr., as proprietors laid out the town of Sunsbury, March 18, 1825. It was at the "cross roads" leading to Dayton, Cin- cinnati and Lebanon, and there were three gristmills, six sawmills, and a carding machine within a mile and a half of the town. Sunsbury is separated from Ger- mantown by a space of about a half a mile, being situated on the Carlisle and Ger- mantown pike. It contains only about forty dwellings and has little prospect of growth. Though not platted as early as Germantown, it was a neighborhood center from the earliest days of German township.
JACKSON TOWNSHIP.
Jackson township first appeared as a subdivision of Montgomery county June 6, 1814. In 1820 the present boundaries of Jackson township were established. It is of the greatest advantage in understanding the location of the lands in the township that the original surveyed or congressional township is the same as the political township. Jackson township is township 4, range 4 east. It has, there- fore, thirty-six square miles of territory. Big Twin and Little Twin creeks flow through its territory. Tom's Run passes through the western part and emp- ties into the Big Twin. The land consists of a large area of bottom lands and hilly and level uplands.
The township began to be settled soon after the adjacent territory of German and Jefferson townships began to be occupied. With the opening of the land to regular settlement in 1801, the intrepid pioneers made their appearance. Many of the present residents of the township are the descendants of the original set- tlers. An account of the original entries or purchases of land will be, therefore, of special interest. Many persons have guessed and speculated as to the locations and time of arrival of the first settlers. The following table indicating the pur- chasers and time of purchase of Jackson township lands taken from the records of the state auditor is the decisive authority in these matters :
