In the history of the Waterville Schools, no name is more prominent than is that of Elijah W. Lenderson, now of Toledo, who for ten years was an efficient Teacher therein.

The first record found of Township School funds, is that of 1837, when the entire amount collected for Lucas County was 81,157.13, of which amount $1, 106.61 was derived from tax . ation, and $350.52 from interest on Surplus Revenue. From such source Waterville Town-

ship that year derived School money to the amount of $111.14. In contrast with this, may be given the figures for 1886, when Waterville Township received for School purposes, public money to the amount of $11,005.48, of which $6,819.08 was expended in support of Schools. During that year a School-house was ereeted in Waterville Village, at a cost of $8,500, being valned with grounds and furniture at $10,000. The average attendance at that School was 104, with an average enrollment of 114 pupils. The cost per scholar per annum, in 1886, was $9.52.

TEMPERANCE.

As elsewhere shown, one of the first move- ments in Lucas County in behalf of Temper- ance, took place at Waterville, as early as 1837, with which prominent citizens of that locality took active part. The importance of such action, no doubt, was in a great degree enfore- ed by the serious effects of the use of liquors among the Indians and the laborers on the Canal. It was fortunate for Waterville, that leading business men there were earnestly identified with the work of reform. From time to time, various organizations in that behalt existed, and as at most other points, were tem- porary in activity.

In 1867, a Lodge of Good Templars was or- ganized by P. C. Ilolt.

Waterville Division, No. 136, Sons of Tem- perance, was instituted March 22, 1871, with officers as follows: John Batt, Worthy Patri- arch; Mary E. Singer, Worthy Associate; C. W. Shoemaker, Recording Scribe; Susie Heater, Assistant Recording Scribe; J. L. Pray, Financial Scribe ; Kate Pray, Treasurer; J. E. Hall, Chaplain ; M. V. Shoemaker, Con- ductor; Addie Ilall, Assistant Conductor ; Alice Pray, Inside Sentinel ; Gilbert Stevens, Outside Sentinel ; Thomas Pray, Past Worthy Patriarch ; Charles Shoemaker, Deputy Grand Worthy Patriarch. The Division bad 69 charter members, and was in active opera- tion for about three years.

White Lodge, No. 52, Independent Order of Good Templars, was organized at Waterville July 8, 1884, with officers as follows; L. H. Lindsly, Chief Templar; Fanny J. Dodd, Vice Templar; Mrs. Lucina Haskins, Chaplain ; W. S. Haskins, Secretary ; Mattie McQuillen, Assistant Secretary; Maria Knaggs. Financial Scribe; W.

G." Farnsworth, Treasurer ; Torry Isham, Marshal ; Fred. Cobb, Deputy Marshal; Emma Knaggs, Inside Gnard ; John Hutchinson, Outside Guard; Ida Farnsworth, Right-Iland Supporter; Mary Haskins, Left- Hand Supporter; Clara Bayer, Past Chief Templar; W. G. Farnsworth, Deputy Grand Chief Templar. The Lodge had 30 charter members, which number has been increased to about 75.

In 1875 what was known as a "Murphy

Movement " in promotion of Temperance, was attended with success in Waterville.

THE MASONIC ORDER.

Wakeman Lodge, No. 522, F. and A. M., was instituted November 1, 1879, by request of Warren B. Gunn, Oscar W. Ballon, Peter Ulrich, J. L. Pray, W. B. Pinkerton, James Marston, G. T. Latcham, Elijah Dodd, W. S. Saxton, L. W. Pray, Samuel Down, C. H. Noble, S. S. Smith and Clarence Dodd. The first officers were as follows: W. B. Gunn, Master ; O. W. Ballou, Senior Warden ; John L. Pray, Junior Warden ; Samuel Downs, Senior Dea- con ; Elijah Dodd, Junior Deacon; T. B. Pink- erton, Secretary ; James Marston, Treasurer ; George S. Latcham, Tyler; Lewis W. Pray, and Clarence Dodd, Stewards. Officers for 1888 are as follows: A. L. Vanfleet, Master; O. Lyon, Senior Warden ; J. L. Pray, Junior Warden. The Lodge occupies the upper story of a fine brick block erected in 1880. Its pres- ant membership is about 45.

THE VILLAGE OF WATERVILLE.

The Village of Waterville was platted in February, 1830, and now stands as the second existing plat in Lucas County, that of Maumee City only antedating it, having been recorded in 1818. The original Port Lawrence plattedin 1817, was the first in the County, but was sub- sequently abandoned and vacated. Waterville was platted by John Pray, and is located on the West bank of the Maumee River, opposite what then was known as "Pray's Falls," a rapid in that stream. It comprised 50 lots, most of which contained a quarter of an acre each. It had 4 Streets-Water, running along the River; and South, Wood and Mechanics, running from the River.

In August, 1836, Daniel M. Wilson, Daniel B. Bruen, James Kinney and Gabriel O. Kin- ney, made an addition to the Town plat of Waterville.

In April, 1837, John Pray recorded an ad- dition to the plat of Waterville. It contained 214 lots, in addition to the 50 lots in the plat of February, 1830.

The Town officers of Waterville for 1888, are as follows :

Mayor-George J. Cooper.

Councilmen-Oscar W. Ballou, Fred. C. Dodd, John Esworthy, Fred. Hueter, Thomas Sheon, Geo. M. Utz.

Clerk-T B. Pinkerton.

Marshal-J. W. Cripliver.

Board of Education-O. W. Ballou (President), Elijah Dodd, Samuel Downs (Clerk), C. W. Shoe- maker, H. F. Vanfleet, Josephus Russell, John W. Rupp (Treasurer).

NATURAL GAS AND OIL.

The first effort to produce Oil in this Town- ship, was in the fall of 1865. At that time Mr.

(

WATERVILLE TOWNSHIP.

Hall, from Portland, Maine, sunk a well about 60 rods North of the present Ballou Gas Well No. 1. Failing to find oil in sufficient quan- tity to pay, he abandoned the well, after bor- ing to a depth of about 700 feet, using the shale gas coming from the hole as fuel for the last 300 feet, that being the pioneer effort then to utilize Natural Gas as fuel. The same season Robert Dunlap and others from Detroit, drilled for oil on the Dodd farm, on the West bank of the Canal, for about 1,100 feet, at which depth the well was abandoned. Several other futile attempts were made.

During the Winter of 1886-7 Oscar W. Bal- lon conceived the idea that it was gas, and not oil, that was the natural product of the Earth in Waterville. On investigating the Findlay and other gas fields, he became so thoroughly convinced of the correctness of his opinion, that he opened negotiations with the Toledo and Cincinnati syndicates to operate in that territory.

The first gas well in the Township is known as " Ballou No 1," and is located about 1,000 feet. South of the first oil well, on the West bank of Maumee, about half a mile Northeast of the Village of Waterville, near the center of River Tract 35. This well was commenced May 24, 1887. The total depth was 1,164, in- eluding 37 feet in Trenton rock. With the demonstration usnal on such occasions the well was shot June 18, 1887, establishing the fact that Waterville was in direct communication with the great gas-belt of Northwestern Ohio. Since that time nine wells have been drilled for gas in the Township, all but one having proved successful. About half a mile West of the Village five wells have been drilled for oil, most of which have given fair returns for the investment. A seemingly fair estimate places the average cost of sinking each well at from $1,200 to $1,500.

THE VILLAGE OF WHITEHOUSE.

The Village of Whitehouse was laid out in the 1864, the plat having been recorded July 5th. It is located on the North fractional half of Northwest fractional quarter of Section 2, Town G North, Range 9 East. The land was grst entered by Harvy Kembar, October 6, 1842, and by him conveyed to James Craven, July 20, 1850, who sold it to John R. Osborn Sept. 9, 1855. The same month it was conveyed to Edward Whitehouse of New York, then a Director in the Wabash Railroad Company, whose name the Village bears.

The first Blacksmith Shop in Whitehouse, was that of Michael Goodman, established in 1858. In the same year, A. J. Eldridge opened there a general Store, and Alexander Walp was appointed Postmaster. In 1874, the Stoker House (now Union Hotel) was built by John Stoker. Myers & Stone erected a Feed Mill in 1881.

The present. School-House was built in 1877, at a cost of $8,000. It is of brick and stone, and was built to replace a frame house destroyed by fire.

The Methodist Protestant Church at White- house was organized in 1846, the members then being Mr. and Mrs. George Almond, Rev. John Foster, Mrs. Eldridge, Mrs. Franklin, Mrs. Gilson, Mrs. Huffman, Mr. and Mrs. O. Il. Noble. The first Quarterly Conference was held at Stony Ridge, near Whitehouse, No- vember 24, 1849, of which John B. Peat was Chairman, and P. B. Scott Secretary. Among the early members were Luke and Win. Tip- ton, John Jones, Elisha Trowbridge, Nelson Coulson, John Officer, Alonzo Crosby, Matthew Cowling, Thos. Beney, P. B. Scott, David Lucas and Daniel Hubbell. The first Preach- ers and Ministers in charge were John B. Peat, Win. Tipton, John Jones, Elisha Trowbridge, R. H. Davis, J. N. Kidd, S. B. Abbott, M. S. Reynolds, S. Elliott, B. F. Tucker, C. F. Brad- ley, Rufus A. Washburn, G. Scott. In 1872 the Society erected a house of worship, at a cost of $1,800.

Whitehouse, from the first, has been a Station on the Wabash Railroad, and a point of local interest, in furnishing limited market for the neighborhood. The following business estab- lishments are now (1888) in operation there :

General Stores - L. Black & Co., Albert Canfield, Geo. Oswald & Co. Hardware -Michael Goodman. Drugs and Medicines-Dr. F. M. Heath and Dr. M. F. Leach. Furniture- Henry Schmidt. Blacksmith- W. J. Demuth and Jones Brothers. Millinery-Mrs. L. Stebbins.

The corporation officers of Whitehouse for 1888 are as follows :

Mayor-M. F. Leach. Marshal-Eugene Barker.

Councilmen-J. C. Myers (President), John Strohl, Win. Jones, John Hollicker, F. A. Butlier.

Treasurer-Jolin Weckerly.

Clerk-George Weckerly.

Board of Education-Solomon Wolf ( President ), L. W. Black, J. C. Spicer, F. H. Butler, John Ryan (Treasurer), George Weckerly (Secretary).

Justice of the Peace at Whitehouse-Fred Butler.

STONE QUARRIES. - From very early date, Waterville Township, with other localities of this region, has been prominent in the quantity and quality of its quarry-stone. Attention was first definitely drawn to these deposits during the construction of the Miami and Eric Canal, in which work large quantities of stone became necessary. The first quarry opened was on the Dodd farm in 1838, since which time operations there have been continued, the demand of late years being chiefly for lime, for road-bed and for ballasting.

The next opening is known as the Stony Ridge Quarry, located two miles West of Waterville. The bed is underlaid with a thick strata of glass sand, for which a rapidly in-

ereasing demand exists, with Glass Works now being established at Toledo, Maumee and other more distant points.

The most important operations in stone trattic, are those of the Whitehouse Quarries. What is known as the Pray & Hall Quarry, was opened by John Williams and A. Walp, in 1860, on the land of J. E. Hall. In 1870, N. C. Hall and A. Walp assumed management of this Quarry, which continued until 1876. J. L. Pray and J. E. Hall (Pray & Hall), merchants at Whitehouse, then assumed charge of the operations. At this time (1888) the business is wholly in the hands of Mr. Pray, whose facili- ties are practically unlimited. The Quarry is about one mile by 60 rods in extent, with all conveniences, including steam power and a mile of rail-track in connection with the Wa- bash Railway. That Road, as far West as the Mississippi, has been largely ballasted with stone from this and other Whitehouse Quarries, while other Western Roads have used the same tor like purpose.

The Osborn Quarry was opened in 1865, but not actively worked until 1875, when John Ryan commenced operations there for Railroad ballast and macadamizing. This Quarry is now (1888) owned and managed by O. W. Ryan, with large facilities for shipment.

The Brogan Quarry was opened in 1868, by the present owner, Stephen Brogan.

These Quarries lie East of Whitehouse, and seem to be practically inexhaustible in supply. They now give employment for 40 men, being the main industry of that locality. They have supplied large quantities of foundation-stone for the principal buildings erected in Toledo, as they also did for the new Insane Asylum, near Toledo.

JAMES M. BRIGHAM was born at Oxford, Chenango County, New York, in 1816, and died in Toledo, May 3, 1869. He was a son of David Brigham, and of Scotch descent. He had one brother, Charles, for some years Editor of the Pittsburgh Commercial, and now a resident of Florida, and two sisters, Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Pierrepont. His childhood and youth were spent in Oxford, he being educated at the Academy in that place. After leaving School, he became a Civil Engineer, and acted in that capacity in the construction of the Chenango (New York) Canal. In pur- suit of the same ealling, he came to Ohio during the construction of the Miami and Erie Canal. Not obtaining employment in that connection, he taught a District School in Providence, Lucas County, for one Winter. For a time he was in business at Waterville. About 1845, he was appointed Superintendent of the Eastern Division of the Miami and Erie Canal, which position he held for several years and until there was a political change in the management of Ohio Public Works. In 1849,

with the late L. L. Morehouse, he formed the partnership of Brigham & Morehouse, so long and so usefully identified with the business interests of Waterville, their special trade being the sale of merchandise and Milling. No busi- ness firm in Lucas County ever attained to more honorable position than did that, and to its enterprise and high character was Water- ville largely indebted for many years. In 1864 these partners, with John B. Ketcham, organ- ized the Wholesale Grocery firm of Ketcham, Brigham & Co., at Toledo, which continued in successful operation until the death of Mr. Brigham, in 1869. In addition to their Waterville operations, Brigham & More- honse, in 1859, in connection with S. W. Whitmore, formerly a Clerk with them, opened a store at Tontogany, Wood County. In 1868, they disposed of their Waterville Store to II. H. Wakeman & Co. In all that eonstitutes a true man, a genial and liberal-hearted citizen and energetic business operator, Mr. Brigham was fully endowed. An old and specially inti- mate friend of his most justly speaks of him as " in every position in life filling the measure of an intelligent, honest and large-hearted man." He was of large body and large brain, a genial companion, warmly attached to his friends. Politically, he was a Whig until that party was merged into the Republican organization, after which he acted with the latter. While ever actively interested in political affairs, he habitually avoided official position. His wife, Mrs. Eliza Ann Brigham, now (1888) resides at Oxford, New York. They had one child, Julia (deceased), wife of Ezra S. Dodd, of Toledo.

LORENZO LEWIS MOREHOUSE was born in Charlton, Saratoga County, New York, Jan- uary 27, 1811, and died at Waterville January 28, 1872. He came to Ohio in October, 1837, and took an interest with Elijah Dood in a con- traet in the construction of the Miami and Erie Canal, in which connection they had a store in Waterville. In 1846 Mr. Morehouse built a Grist- Mill, which is still in operation at Water- ville. In 1849 he entered into partnership with James M. Brigham, which continued until the death of that gentleman in 1869, including the Wholesale Grocery house of Ketcham, Brig- ham & Co. in Toledo. In all his business relations, extending over more than a third of a century of time, embracing vast amounts in trade, and bringing him into contact with a great variety of persons, his character for high personal honor was never questioned. For several years he was County Commissioner ; for two years a Representative in the State Legislature, to which offiee he declined a re- nomination. It was during the second session of his term in that body that he laid the foundation for the disease which finally resulted in his death, as prior to that time he enjoyed

robust and vigorons health. In 1835, Mr. Morehouse was married with Miss Mary Ann Wakeman, at Saratoga Springs. They had four children-Helen, Sarah, Alice and Mary Ann-all of whom are now dead. Mrs. More- house died in 1853. September 20, 1855, Mr. Morehouse was married with Maryette A. Sut- ton, daughter of John B. and Matilda ( Feagles) Sutton. One child-a son, Lewis-was born to them, he dying in infancy. The wife survived him but a year, and Alice only eight months, leaving him without kith or kin.

PERSONAL MENTION.

More special mention than has been given seems due to the memory of Waterville's chief pioneer. John Pray was born in Rhode Island, October 6, 1783. He was third son of Reverend John Pray. When 12 years of age he went to Saratoga, New York; and at 21, with his brother James, he engaged in the mannfar- ture of potash. In May, 1817, with his brother James and five others, he sat out for the West in search of a site for a Colony, traveling by stage to Buffalo, and by a small Sloop to De- troit; thence by pack-horses, they proceeded to the point of destination-the Maumee Val- ley. Following the River up to Fort Defiance, they found no resident white man between Fort Meigs and that place. From there they went to Dayton, Ohio, and thence to Cleveland. At that point, not having found a satisfactory site for the purposed settlement, all of the party, save John Pray, returned to New York, while he, not disposed to abandon his pursnit of a Western home, came back to the Manmee Valley, and soon determined to settle at Water- ville. In such decision he was greatly aided by the prospective water-power at that point. Returning to New York, he remained there until May, 1818, when he sat out on his return, with his wife, four children and a nephew. They travelled in a wagon to Buffalo, and there took a 15-ton Schooner, Captain Charter. for the Maumee. So scant was the supply of sails, that the passengers were required to use their clothes for such. A passage of nine days took them to Waterville, where they found temporary quarters in an unfinished log-cabin of Mr. Adams, who was among the few settlers who had arrived since Mr. Pray's visit the previous year, all whom gave cordial welcome to the recruits. There was then no Grist-Mill nearer than Monroe, Michigan (some 40 miles). Mr. Pray at once sat about a change in condi- tions, and in 1821 he built on Granger Island, the first Grist-Mill on the Lower Maumee. For several years it had customers for a distance of 15 miles, (Defiance included). Ere long Mr. Pray added machinery for carding wool, a Hemp machine and a Distillery. In 1831, he laid out the Village of Waterville; and in 1832 removed his mills to the main land; and in

1937 built the Columbian House then the best hotel in that section. He purchased large quantities of lands, in what are now Lucas. Wood and Fulton Counties. As elsewhere stated, he was of the first Board of Commis- sioners of Wood County, in 1820; was for nine vears a Justice of the Peace and was the first Postmaster at Waterville. The

' latch-string" of his home was always "ont" to travelers, great numbers of whom gladly accepted the hospitalities thus ex- tended. He was well educated, and thus specially fitted to promote both the moral and material interests of the community. Until 17 years old, he adhered to the religious belief of the Universalists; but in 1840, he united with the Methodist Episcopal Church, and be- came an active member of the same. In his 90th year, he closed his long, active and hon- orable life, dying at Waterville, October 18, 1872. Mr. Pray was married March 21. : 809, with Miss Uney Dunham, of Smithfield, Madison County, New York, who was born at Fort Edwards, New York, October 28, 1789. They lived together in happy marital relations for the extraordinary period of 63 years, of which 54 were spent at Waterville. Their children were as follows: Harriet, born October 9, 1810; John L., born January 25, 1812; Mary, January 19, 1814: James R .. February 21, 1817; Paris II., May 5, 1819; William K., November 26, 1821; Ozro D., March 4, 1524 ; Thomas, April 9, 1828; Lucy, October 13, 1531 ; and Caroline, March 18, 1835. Of these the following are now (1858) living : Paris Il., at Whitehouse : Ozro D., at Grizzly Flats, Califor- nia : and Thomas, at Waterville.

Among the more prominent business men of Waterville Township for several years past, has been John Lansing Pray. of Whitehouse. lle was born February 17, 1539, at the Pray homestead farm, near Waterville. His father was John Lansing Pray, a son of John Pray, the pioneer. His mother was Lucina (Cross) Pray, a danghter of Salmon Cross, a pioneer and prominent citizen of Waterville. She is now the widow of Whitcomb Haskins, one of the first settlers of Waterville. The son was educated at the Waterville Public Schools. During the Winter of 1858-59, he taught a School in Illinois, and the following Winter in Wood County. He enlisted in Battery H. First Ohio Light Artillery, September 25, 1861, and served until the end of the War. He was appointed Bugler for the Battery, and served as such until February, 1864, when he was transferred to the United States Signal Ser- vice, where he remained to the close. Il. gained special recognition in the latter capacity, having been, as Sergeant, placed in charge of the Signal party accompanying the Fifth Army Corps. Since the War, few Soldiers have done more than has he toward cultivating and maintaining among the

920

HISTORY OF TOLEDO AND LUCAS COUNTY.

country's defenders the true spirit of patriot- ism and social relations. Upon his return from the field of War, he taught School for one vear at Waterville, and afterwards engaged in trade at Waterville with Joseph E. Hall. Sub- segently the firm decided to develop the valuable Stone deposits near Whitehouse, and for that purpose opened quarries and estab- lished a Store, their operations in such con- nection being referred to elsewhere. Mr. Pray, from early lile, has been actively identified with interests concerning his fellow-citizens, and by aet and influence has contributed much to their moral and material welfare. He was married with Miss Pamelia C. Ilall, daughter of J. E. Ilall, of Waterville, March 28, 1866. Their children are John Emmons, Mable C., and Pamelia D., of Whitehouse. The mother died April 4, 1881. Mr. Pray was married May 21, 1884, with Miss Mary E. Singer, a native of Waterville. They have one child, Carrie Louise.

Henry Reed, Sen., was born in Ridgefield, Connecticut, March 31, 1784, and died in Toledo, July 27, 1864. He removed to Sharon, Connecticut, in 1804, and to Waterville in 1833. Mrs. Reed died at Waterville in 1857, where Mr. Reed remained until 1859. From his ad- vent at Waterville, Mr. Reed took an active interest in the moral and religious interests of the community. On the first Sabbath after his arrival he gave out notice that religious servi- res would be held at a given place, and he took charge of the same, led in the usual exercises, and maintained such appointments until a Church was established, in which he always was an active member. In the Temperance cause he was also prominent, and in different ways contibuted to the moulding of a sound sentiment among the settlers. the effects of which have been enjoyed there ever since. He was for several years Associate Judge of the County, and served in other public capacities. Notwithstanding the embarrasments attend- ing the charge of a large family in a country so new, Mr. Reed was enabled to rear his family to a degree of intelligence, usefulness and influence rarely seen even under more favorable circumstances. It is quite safe to state, that no other family of settlers in the Maumee Valley constituted as liberal an ad- dition in numbers to the population, as did Mr. Reed. It included the parents and 12 children. The names of the latter now living, are as follows: Ilenry, at San Francisco, Cali- fornia ; Samuel R., Cincinnati ; Frederick. New York City; George, Forest, Florida ; Alexan- der, Walla Walla, Washington Territory; and Mrs. W. P. Gregory, Omaha, Nebraska. Those who died were-Elizabeth, wife of Abner L. Backus, Toledo; Abraham P., Elias, Mrs. Frances Lamb, Louis, and Mrs. Temperance

Tucker. One son, Frank, born at Waterville, is also dead.

Oscar W. Ballon is a son of Orson and Emily (Underwood) Ballon. Ile was born in Waterville, October 1, 1836. Ilis parents both dated their residence in Waterville back to 1818-the very start of settlement at that point. His father held a leading position in the Town- ship for many years. Ile was a Major in the Ohio forces during the " Toledo War " of 1835. Oscar W. served in Company 1, 14th Ohio Infantry, at the outbreak of the Rebellion in 1861. His brother, Orson G., Lieutenant, Company F, 100th Ohio Infantry, was captur- ed and died from starvation in Libby Prison. Mr. Ballou's political views and action have always been with the Democratic party. He has for many years been actively identified with public affairs at Waterville, having held nearly every office in the Town, being at this time President of the Board of Education and a member of the Council, with both of which bodies he has been connected since their organ- ization. As elsewhere stated, he took the leading part in the development of natural gas, which now promises so much for the future, not of Waterville alone, but of Maumee, Toledo and other points whose interest therein is yet to be shown. Mr. Ballon was married Septem- ber 20, 1863, with Miss Lina, daughter of Lewis and Amanda (Hall) Eastwood, who was born in Waterville, September 25, 1843. Her par- ents came to that Township in 1831, the father now being the oldest man there. Mr. Ballou has two children-Clifford G., born September 10, 1864, who was graduated at the Ohio Wes- leyan University, Delaware, with highest honors, in 1888, and is the only College grad- uate of Waterville; and Minnie O., born Octo- ber 31, 1870.
