York, in December, 1852. He had some rongh experiences, quite different from crossing the continent by rail. With his brother (Charles J.) he purchased the greater part of the Northwest quarter of Section 8, in Swanton ; made over the building put up by Luther Dodge for a store and residence, and got into it in the Spring of 1853, where he has resided and practiced his profession until the present time, save an absence of about five years. He has had five children-three daughters and two sons. The daughters are deceased. The elder son, Wm. A., Jr., is in Swanton, Fulton County, and the younger one at home.

Charles J. Scott was born October, 1827, in Seneca County, Ohio. Came with his father (P. B. Scott) to Swanton in 1835; went to California in 1850, and returned in December, 1852; in 1855 went to Minnesota and remained three or four years, and then returned. He was in the Union Army about one year; was married with Eliza Ann Cowling, daughter of James Egnew, in 1867, and has three sons. In November, 1886, he removed to Kansas.

Rufus C. Scott was born in March, 18to, in Lucas County. In August, 1862, he enlisted in the Ohio Infantry, and served to the close of the War. In March, 1867, he was married with Harriet Rogers. He has three children- two sons and a daughter. He now is on P. B. Scott's old farm.

Ira Wilcox came to Swanton about 1840; peddled clocks for some years; located on the West half of the Southwest quarter of Section 7 ; was married with David Mills's oldest daugh- ter ; had three children. One son, George, was killed while serving in the 100th Ohio In- fantry. during the Rebellion. William D. lives on a part of his father's old place, and is an energetic and prominent citizen of the Town- ship. A daughter (Cornelia), with her hus. band (Wm. Maby), lives on a part of her father's farm. Ira Wilcox died about 1858.

Ezra Wilcox came about 1838 or '39, and fol- lowed peddling clocks for some years. Ile pur- chased and built on the East half of Southwest quarter of Section 8. After the death of his brother Ira, he was married with the widow, and had one son (Ed.), who, with his mother are in Swanton, Fulton County. The father died about 1865.

BEGINNINGS.

The first house built in Swanton Township was of logs and as a residence for Chandler L. Wing. It was constructed in the Spring of 1834, and was located on the West bank of Swan Creek, and on the East half of the South- east quarter of Section 8.

The first frame house in the Township con- sisted of the dwelling and store of Luther Dodge, on the East bank of Swan Creek, and on the Northeast quarter Section 5, near the junction of the Northeast and Northwest branches of that stream. This was in 1837.

The first frame barn was put up by Lewis Gale, for - Pray, of Waterville, in 1840. It was on the Southeast corner of the Northwest quarter of Southeast quarter of Section 29.

The first frame building for a dwelling, ex- cInsively, was that of William Allman, built in 1840, near the Northeast corner of the North- west quarter of Seetion 29.

The first Road opened in Swanton Township was what is now known as the State Road, running from Maumee to the Town of Swan- ton, and on to the State line. It was located in December, 1835, P. B. Seott being one of the Viewers appointed for that purpose.

The first bridge was across Swan Creek and on the State Road, and was built during the Winter of 1836-37. It was located 25 rods East of West line of Section 8. It was built by Samuel Barrett.

The first attempt at fruit growing consisted of the small orchard of P. B. Scott, set ont in the Spring of 1835.

The first Blacksmith Shop in Swanton, was that of James Williams; the next by - Bass ; and the third by W. D. Herrick. The first and third were on the lot now (1888) owned by B. T. Geer, and the third on the Herrick place, near Scott's Corners (Sonth end of East half of Northeast quarter of Section 7.)

The first Wagon Shop was that of Chester

Scott; the second that of A. B. Wales ; and the third of James C. Wales. The first and second being located on P. B. Scott's farm (Scott's Corners), and the third on the Herrick place.

The first Saw-Mill in the Township, wasthat of William Taylor, built about 1858, on the Northeast corner of the Southeast quarter of the Southeast quarter of Section 6. Thomas Howlett and Robert Taylor were afterwards connected with it.

The first and only Town plat within the limits of Swanton, was laid out in 1836, by James Jackson and James H. Forsyth, of Man- mee. The plat was located at the Southwest corner of the Northwest quarter of Section 8, and embraced what is now known as Scott's Corners. Nothing beyond the platting ever became of the enterprise.

The first public house or tavern within what now is Swanton Township, was kept by Hunt- ington Larabee, as early as 1834. He left in the Spring of 1836. The second house was that of William Houser, in 1836. Thethird, that of David Mills, in 1836-37. Following these were 1. A. Shester, 1845; Jesse Tyler, 1846-53 ; Wm. D. Herriek, 1840-69. In 1842, James Manning built the house in which B. T. Geer now lives (Scott's Corners). Renben Hastings kept both store and tavern in 1844-46. F. E. Kirtland, Wm. Fullerton and others followed. At the time of the first settlement of Swanton Town- ship, the travel through it was comparatively heavy-consisting mainly of " movers," as the emigrants from the East to the West were called. The housing of these and the care of their teams constituted the chief business of the large number of small taverns found along the line of such travel. The cloth-covered wagons of the emigrants often indicated destination. Thus, families going to South western Michigan and Northern Indiana, carried the long- familiar sign, " Bound for St. Jo."

MISCELLANEOUS.

Among the practices of former times now seldom found, was that of "binding out " chil- dren. A case of this kind is recorded in Swanton Township. In 1844, Henry Knavel, guardian of William Notage, entered into con- tract with George Curtis, whereby young Notage, then 14 years of age, was bound to Curtis until his majority, " to learn the trade and occupation of a Farmer." Notage was " to faithfully serve said Curtis and correctly de- mean himself during the term of his appren- ticesbip;" while Curtis covenanted to " teach the said Notage the said trade and occupation, and provide him with meat, lodging, medicine, washing, clothing, and all . other necessaries suitable for an apprentice; and send him three months in a year to School for the first six years ; and at the expiration of said term of service, will furnish him with a new Bible, at least two suits of good new home-made wearing

apparel, and one young horse to be worth fifty dollars."

Another of carly-time usages now rarely met, was that of " warning out of Town " in- comers " without visible means of support," the object being thereby to protect the tax payers from the charges of such indigent visitors. Thus, in Wing Township, as early as March, 1842, we have record that the " Poor Masters," as Overseers of Poor were usually called, issued their warrant, directing the Constable " to warn the Niger Gurl Merfey (meaning possibly Negro Girl Murphy), to depart the Township forthwith," which order was served " by read- ing service," with charge of 25 cents therefor, and 10 cents for traveling fees.

Previous to the formation of Fulton County, Swanton was the most central point in Lucas County, and as such was the usual place for holding political conventions and other County assemblages.

For several years after the settlement of Swanton, game was quite abundant. Deer were numerous, with some Wolves and Wild ('ats, and an occasional Bear. Elk horns were found in large number, showing the former presence of that animal. Also, a few Moose horns.

In the Summer of 1837, and for years there- after, Ottokee, Chief of the Ottawa Indians, with a part of his tribe lived on the North half of the Southeast quarter of Section 5. He owned the place, and occupied a house thereon. It was built by one Halford in 1834 or '35. The Indians hunted, and sometimes sold a bam of venison for 25 cents, and often traded for veg- etables; but the most of the trading in this direction was done by the squaws. Whartlo- berries were plenty, and the squaws and chil- dren picked them. The Indians kept many ponies and dogs. There were some patches of ground in different localities, which formerly had been cultivated, the crop raised probably was corn. The Indians protected the graves of their dead by means of a pen of logs similar in shape to a bonse. The Ottawas were gen- erally honest. Ottokee was a fine looking In- dian, and when the balance of his tribe were removed West, he refused to go. He loved whiskey, as did most of the Indians, and died from freezing while drunk.

On the Northwest quarter of Section 8 (Hear the original Swanton), was found a mound some three or four rods across, and about two feet high, which was filled with human bones, some of which were found but a few years since- probably the remains of Indians slain in a fierce Indian battle.

Near the line between Seetions 5 and 8, on the West bank of the Northeast branch of Swan Creek, were found in 1835 remains of a stock- ade some six or eight rods across. It was round, built by digging a trench and settingin upright timbers, some of which were halves of

logs 15 to 18 inches in diameter. As to the builders, no record is found. Possibly, it was built by a detachment of " Mad Anthony's" men, in 1794, or by Americans or British, during the War of 1812-15.

The soil of the Township is sandy; that of the Northwestern portion being mixed with clay, the latter being better soil than the most of the balance. The timber in the North- western portion was White and Burr Oak, Elm, with some Sycamore, Hickory, Black Walnut, Whitewood, Sassafrass and Soft Maple. The timber of the balance of the Township is mostly White, Yellow and Pine Oak. The Township is drained by Swan Creek and its branches. The ('reek bottoms and much of the prairies were formerly covered with water in the Spring and early Summer; while the Creeks, having mud bottoms, with serious obstructions from logs, etc., were the source of great extent of malarial diseases, which seriously affected the early de- velopment of the Township. But since the Northeast branch, heading in a prairie in Spencer, was improved in 1881, malarial sick- ness has nearly disappeared, and the Township comparatively free from malignant diseases.

SCHOOLS.

Swanton was not behind other localities in the provision of educational facilities for the young, although these new seem meagre, as do like means in the cases of most early settle- ments. The first School-house was built in 1835 in the Northwest quarter of the South- west quarter of Section four. It was a rude structure, of logs. It was seated with long benches made of slabs, supported by wooden pins for legs. Along each side was a desk, made of rough boards, in front of which was a long bench, as before described. The room was heated with an open fire-place, capacious enough for large logs of wood.

The first School was taught by Daniel S. Westcott, for a few weeks, during the Winter of 1835 36. That gentleman subsequently was Surveyor of Lucas County.

Mrs. - Chamberlain taught a School during the same Winter in a house built by Willard Barnes, on the North bank of the Northwest branch of Swan Creek, in the East half of the Nortwest quarter of Section 7, where she and her husband then lived.

The subsequent Teachers of this School, so far as the record supplies their names, have been as follows: 1839-41, Samuel Durgin ; 1841-42, Fred. Curtis ; 1842, Persis Scott ; 1843, Mary S. Crosby; 1843-4, Morris Curtis ; 1844, Caroline Wood ; 1844-5, Lemuel Johnson ; 1845-6, Harvey McCoy; 1846, Wm. Lewis. This School was held for most of three years, in a log-house built by Charles and John Eckels for a shop, while putting up a Saw Mill frame for Jackson & Forsyth and Luther Dodge joint dwelling and store, in 1837.

During the Winter of 1836-37, a second School was held in a log-house West of the Township line and a few rods South of the East and West center of Section 7 (near Scott's Corners) ; such School for most of that time having been tanght by Mrs. Chamberlain. In the Winter of 1838-39, Peter Holloway, now of Monclova, was Teacher of this School.

Subsequent Teachers in this District were as follows: 1839-43, Samuel Durgin ; 1841.42, Fred. Curtis ; 1843-44, Morris Curtis ; 1844 45, Lemuel Johnson; 1852-53, Lizzie Emery ; 1853-54, Miss M. H. Earl, Mrs. Eleanor J. Scott and W. A. Scott; 1854-55, Nathan Jones ; 1855 56, Jonah Brewster; 1856, Mary E. Dur- gain ; 1857, Cynthia Curtis ; 1858, Mary Merrill ; 1859-60, B. A. Geer, Cynthia Curtis; 1861, C. J. Hunt, Cynthia Curtis; 1861-2, Jesse Kerr, S. Mills; 1862-63, Eliza E. Scott, C. B. Wood, B. A. Geer ; 1863-64, B. A. Geer; 1865, Mary J. Taylor, Eliza E. Scott, B. A. Geer ; 1866, E. E. Scott; 1866-67, B. A. Geer, E. E. Scott; 1867- 68, B. A. Lacy ; 1868-69, B. A. Lacy, Maggie Emery ; 1869-70, Maggie Emery, A. Warren, Addie Bennett.

The first School-house in what is now Dis- trict No. 2, was built about 1837 by William Allman, Abraham Shepler and Jacob Yount, who hired and paid the first Teacher (Carl C. Allman) for the two winter terms of 1837-8, and 1838-9, at $10 per month.

Subsequent Teachers of the School were paid in part with public money, and in part by volun- tary subscriptions of citizens; and after the establishment of the present School system, wholly with public money.

The following named persons taught in this Distriet at the dates stated, viz: 1840-41, Cyrus H. Coy (now of Toledo) ; 1841-42, Moses Sargent ; 1842-43, Peter Van Blackham ; 1843- 44, Isaac J.
