Elder Daniel Long was a native of Maryland, born August 9, 1789; he was a soldier in the war of 1812, and became a settler of Union County about 1820, or perhaps earlier. He traveled over a large portion of Southern Ohio, and organized many Christian Churches. The Watkins Christian Church was the first of that denomination in the township, and was organized by Elder Long, who served as its pastor for many years. He continued in ministerial work till the very close of his life, November 26, 1873, in the eighty-fifth year of his age. He died while in the midst of a series of meetings at the church in Mill Creek Township. He was one of the pioneer ministers of Ohio, an excellent man and an earnest Chris- tian worker. He married Nancy Kelly, by whom he had one child-Thomas W.

John McCawley, a native of Scotland, emigrated to America and settled in Virginia; thence, about 1824, came to this county and settled on Survey No. 2,992, on the land now owned by W. Schmidt, where he resided till his death.

Bennett Beard settled on Mill Creek about 1824, and erected one of the first saw mills in this vicinity, which he operated for several years. About the same year. there came to this township and settled here Jacob Hawk, Alexander Gar- ringer, John Heriff, Samuel Saunders, Zachariah Smith, Jeremiah Roe, John Keens and Jacob Taylor. Also, the same year, Joseph Watkins settled on Survey No. 1,307. In 1825, Asahel Rose and James Fowler settled on Survey No. 5,477; Daniel Andrews settled on same survey, but only lived there about two years and moved away. In 1826, Richard Bancroft settled on same Survey. The same year came William Rogers and settled in the northeast part of the township, on land now owned by John Penn; he was a school teacher, but subsequently moved away. Edmond Holycross settled on Survey No. 5,477. William Newhouse settled here same year, but remained here only about two years and moved away. Cornelius Rose was here about the same year. About 1827 came Joel Cole- man, William Devol, Daniel Roberts, Simpson White-the latter settled on Survey No. 2,992-Perry Eubank and Isaac Anderson-the latter, a native of New York, settled on Survey No. 2,992.

About 1828, we find Christian Myers and Charles Hamlin to be residents here. In 1829, Clement Brawdy, Abraham Stiner and David Smith appear as settlers; the latter located on Survey No. 1,573.

John S. Smart, born in Franklin County, Ohio, March 20, 1811, settled in Mill Creek Township in 1829, and married Mary Robinson May 20, 1833. They resided in the township fifty-two years, when, in the fall of 1881, they moved to Marysville. He began in the woods and has cleared up and brought into cultiva- tion three farms. He commenced as a poor man, and now owns 211 acres of well-improved land. He was compelled to go nine miles to mill on horseback to get his grist ground. Now, he has retired to the pleasant town of Marysville to enjoy the balance of his days, the comforts of a competency which his own hands

have accumulated.

About 1830, James Martin settled on Survey No. 1,573, but subsequently re- moved to Illinois. About the same year, Jacob Bowersmith settled on Survey No. 2,992. Samuel Dixon came about the same time. In 1830, John Lame, from New York, removed to Clark County, Ohio, and in 1832 settled in Mill Creek Town- ship, where he resided till his death, May 4, 1858, aged sixty-three years. In 1833, or about that time, Absalom Ligget came from Ross County. J. H. P. Bouic, a native of Maryland, came to Franklin County, Ohio, in 1830, and in 1835 settled in this township, where he has since resided.

The above embrace most of the true pioneers and early settlers. Some of these may have settled earlier, but from the best information we could obtain from those now living, and from the records and a careful examination of the tax du- plicates in the Auditor's office, we are satisfied we are not very far wrong in the dates of their respective settlements.

SCHOOLS.

The first settlement made in Mill Creek Township, was on Survey No. 5,477, and the first settler Ephraim Burroughs, and in this vicinity we would naturally expect to find the establishment of the first school, which was the fact. As soon as a sufficient number of families had settled here to form a nucleus for a school, we find their attention given to the education and welfare of their children, and in a few years after Mr. Burroughs had made the first opening in the mighty forests, a number of families had concentrated in that neighborhood. Mr. Burroughs having moved away, his vacated cabin was occupied for school purposes, and Mrs. Martha Gulick was the first teacher. She was a daughter of William Richey, Sr., one of the early settlers. The next to fill the position of teacher, it is believed, was Pierce Lamphere. The first building erected expressly for school purposes, was a log house built on the farm of Zebadiah Farnum; the land is now owned by Esquire Owens. It is believed that Taber Randall was the first teacher in the new schoolhouse. This was, of course, one of the primitive kind, so often described that it is not necessary to delineate it further here. This building was succeeded by one or two other log houses; about 1849, a frame house was erected, which was succeeded by the present brick house, built about 1868.

The next school established was in the settlement of the Harrisons, Robinsons and others, in the eastern part of the township, now known as Subdistrict No. 1, or the Myers District. The first building erected here for school purposes was one of the primitive log houses with a fire-place six feet long in one end, greased paper for windows, etc. Some of the first teachers employed here were William Rogers, James Martin, Alin Randall and P. B. Cole. Thus, from settlement to settlement, as the country was occupied and the population increased, schools were organized and conducted upon the subscription plan until the present excel- lent system of free schools was established, when the township was divided into reg- ular school districts. These, at the present time, number nine, with enumeration of scholars as follows: Subdistrict No. 1, males, 19; females, 20; total, 39. Sub- district No. 2, males, 18; females, 22; total, 40.

CHURCHES.

One of the first objects of attention in the settlement on Mill Creek was the spiritual condition of her people ; and we find, about 1818, Rev. Henderson Crabb held a meeting at the house of William Conklin and organized a class consisting of the following persons : William Conklin, Sr., Rebecca Conklin, Joseph Conk- lin, Joel Coleman, John Conklin, Jemina Conklin, William Conklin, Jr., Betsy Bell and possibly one or two others. Soon after its organization, Hezekiah Bur- dick and wife Polly, and Pierce Lamphere and wife settled in the neighborhood and united with the class, and Mr. Burdick became class leader and continued as such for many years. This class was the nuclens of the Watkins Methodist Epis- copal Church. They continued to hold meetings at the house of said William Conklin, Sr., for about sixteen years, after which they held meetings at the houses of various members of the society, until about 1849, when they erected a frame house for church purposes, which still stands where it was first built, but is now owned by Warret Owen, Esq., and used as a barn. The above house served the people as a church edifice until 1869-70, when the present neat and substan- tial brick church was erected at a cost of about $3,000. It was dedicated Novem- ber 6, 1870, by appropriate exercises, by Rev. Mr. Mather, of Delaware, Ohio. The following were a few of the ministers of this church : Rev. Smith, Rev. George Maley, Rev. John Havens and Rev. Simms.

Christian Church at Watkins was organized at the house of John Price, October 15, 1825, by Elder Long, on the following principles : "To take the Holy Scripture for the only rule of faith and practice, and to fellowship all Christians. In confirmation whereof we have pledged our hearts and joined our hands, this day and date above mentioned." This church to be known as the Christian Church of Price's settlement. The following nineteen persons are believed to have been the constituent members : Joel Coleman, William Conklin, Rebecca Conklin, Eliza Conklin, Mary Price, William Thompson, Sa- rah Thompson, Martha Conklin, Nancy Thompson, John Thompson, Elizabeth Thompson, James Thompson, Temperance Thompson, Thomas Graham, John Conklin, John Taylor, John Keens, Catharine Keens and Nancy Taylor. They held their meetings in private houses for awhile, then in the schoolhouse till the erection of the Methodist Church, after which they held services therein

338

until 1861, when they erected their present frame church edifice. On Satur- day evening, November 10, 1861, services were held in the new church, and a discourse delivered by Elder Marvin ; and on the next day, Sunday, November 11, 1861, the house was duly dedicated to service by a sermon from Elder Mar- vin. Elder Daniel Long was the principal minister for many years ; coca- sional preaching was had from Elders Daniel Griffin, Joseph Robinson, and others. September 17, 1859, Elder Riley Fuller became pastor of the church ; since then, it has had the following ministers, viz., Elders Daniel Long, C. A. Williams, Samuel Horn, Jonathan Pugh, William Webb, Riley Fuller, W. A. Dobbins and Elder William Overturf. The first Deacons of whom we get any information were Thomas Graham and John Taylor. They were succeeded by Nelson Finney and Anderson Thompson. In 1849, the name of the church was changed to "Christian Church at Watkins," and on June 30 of that year the first meeting was held at the house of Charles White, when William Wal- ley and Chark Low were chosen Deacons. March 26, 1859, Stephen Graham was chosen Deacon in place of William Walley, who desired to be liberated from the office. Aaron Tossey became Deacon in place of Chark Low, who re- signed. In the summer of 1879, the church building having become old and out of repair, a committee, consisting of Gideon Liggel, Robert Thompson, Isaiah Lame, Lyle Stimmel and Low Hobert, was appointed to make suitable repairs to the church, which was again occupied for services in October, 1879. The present membership of the church is about one hundred and fifty. The following persons appear to have been clerks, viz., John Keens. George Thomp- son. Thomas Graham, William Graham, William Thompson, Isaiah Lame and Robert Graham, who served temporarily, while Mr. Lame was serving in the army ; on his return after the war, he again resumed the clerkship, and has served as such to the present time.

Christian Church of Elder Long's Settlement was organized in May, 1832, at the house of Daniel Long, with the following thirty-five constituent mem- bers : Elder Daniel Long, John Ramsey, Daniel Somers, John Guy, Vinson Sherman, Levi Hinton, Elisha Decker, Nancy Long. Diana Ramsey, Rachel Somers, Mary Mathews. Jane Guy, Mahala Shermau, Polly Mathews, Cynthi - ann Black, Rebecca Roberts, Mary E. Anderson, Mina Hinton. Sally Ramsey, Margaret Decker, Elizabeth Bradford, Elizabeth Dixon, Elizabeth White, Sa- rah Duvall, Deborah Hinton, Mary Brown, Mary Ann Coberly, Amanda Hum- ble, John Polk, Isaac Anderson, Drusilla Cripin, Rachel Brown, Catharine Brown. Mary Ann Stiner, Anna Hays, Jacob Hawk. S. Hawk and Elizabeth Stiner. They held their meetings at private houses, principally at Elder Long's. At the time he erected his large barn, they held a series of revival meetings in it, and many were added to the church. In the summer of 1843, they erected a frame house for church purposes, a little south of the farm of Mrs. Hannah Myers, on ground donated for the purpose by Asa Robinson, the land to remain as theirs so long as used for church purposes, and whenever it ceased to be used as such, it should revert to the donor or to his heirs. This house was used as a church until 1880, when the present neat and substantial frame church edifice was erected at a cost of about $1,600. It is located on the Delaware & Plain City gravel road, in the east part of the township ; is neatly and well furnished, and is a comfortable and tasty country church. Some of the ministers who have served the church during the past twenty-five years have been : Elders Riley Fuller, William Webb, Samuel Horn, Will- iams. Lohr, Alexander Dobbins, Henry Holverstott and William Overturf. The present membership is about eighty. Present Deacons, William Stockton, Edward Wells and John Penn. They have had a good Sabbath school for many years, and it now has an average attendance of about fifty. The school

is conducted only through the summer season, with Jerry Williamson as Su- perintendent.

Providence Presbyterian Church was organized in December, 1860, by Rev. Mr. Brinkerhoff, of Frankfort, Delaware County, Ohio, consisting of the following persons: Rebecca Bouic, J. H. P. Bouic, Rachel Hutchinson, Joseph Turney, Benjamin Turney and wife Elizabeth, and perhaps one or two others, with Benjamin Turney and J. H. P. Bouic as Elders. The church edifice was erected in the summer of 1860, and dedicated in December following, the ded- icatory sermon being preached by Rev. Brinkerhoff. In the summer of 1861, on the division between the Old and New School Presbyterians, this society became united under the Congregational Church articles of faith, and remained with that church till about 1877, when it again came under the Presbytery, subscribed to its articles of faith, and was embraced in the Marion Presbytery, .where it has since remained. The following have been pastors of this church: Rev. Mr. Brinkerhoff, Rev. A. M. Hamlin, Rev. C. N. Coulter, Rev. Thomas Hill and Rev. I. N. Thomas. During the past summer the church has been supplied by Rev. Ferguson, of Marysville. The following have served as EI- ders: Benjamin Turney, J. H. P. Bouic, Joseph Hutchinson, John S. Smart and Richard Clark. The present membership is about twenty-five. A. Sabbath school was organized in the summer of 1861, and has been continued through the summer season every year since; during the last three years, it was con- tinued during winter and summer, had a good attendance and was in a flour- ishing condition, until November, 1882, when it was closed on account of the prevalence of small-pox at Ostrander, but will be re-opened in the spring of 1883. J. H. P. Bouic served as the first Superintendent after the organization of the school; he was succeeded by Benjamin Turney, and he by J. R. Hutch- inson, then Asa Smart served for awhile. During the summer of 1882, J. H. P. Bouic acted as Superintendent until the closing of the school in November, as mentioned above.

CEMETERIES.

The Watkins Cemetery is the oldest and principal one in the township. This is situated a little southeast of the village of Watkins, on the farm of S. Wilkins. This ground was dedicated to this sacred use soon after a settlement was formed here, by the reception of a child of Mr. Ephraim Burroughs, which died in 1817. The second person buried here was Sarah, a daughter of Pierce Lamphere; since then it has received the remains of many of the pioneers as well as a large number of the dead of more recent years. It contains probably one acre or more of ground, is now deeded to the Trustees of the township, and is under their care and supervision. There is a small cemetery near the Providence Presbyterian Church, on the land of J. H. P. Bonic; but few in- terments have been made there, and it is but little used. These are all the public cemeteries in Mill Creek Township. There may be a few private burial places, where certain persons have been buried by request, or in an early day, from necessity, before the regular cemeteries were established.

ROADS AND PIKES.

This township has no railroad passing through its domain, but is sup- plied with good gravel roads and pikes, the principal of which are the Cali- fornia & Bellepoint, Delaware & Watkins, Watkins & California, Watkins & Bellepoint, Marysville & Watkins, and the Marysville & California gravel roads. Several other cross or connecting roads are now graveled, and when we compare the present condition of roads and the means of travel and transpor- tation with what they were sixty years ago, the contrast is remarkable. Such are the improvements and progress of the age.

VILLAGE OF WATKINS.

Watkins is the only village in the township. Upon the records at Marys- ville we find the following: " On July 12, 1838, was surveyed a certain tract of land in Survey No. 1,307, in Mill Creek Township, Union County, Ohio, and the same was laid off into twenty-eight lots, four streets and two alleys, for a town to be known by the name of Watkins, Joseph S. Watkins, Deputy Sur- veyor." The proprietors were Thomas P. Watkins and William Conklin, who duly acknowledged the laying-out of the above for the purposes aforesaid. be- fore James Turner, a Justice of the Peace, and the same was duly. recorded with the plat July 13, 1838; P. B. Smith Recorder, Union County, Ohio.

The first house in Watkins was built by James Thompson, which was a frame and was erected just east of Ray Thompson's store. He also opened the first store in the place, about 1840, in one room of his house. The first black- smith was Jacob Warner. The post office was established in 1840-41, with James Thompson appointed Postmaster, which office he held till about 1860, when he was succeeded by William Mosier, who served about one year. He was succeeded by Warret Owen, Esq., who has held the office to the present time. The first physician was Mains Wasson; he has been succeeded by Dr. Reed, Dr. Rose, Dr. William Andrews, Dr. T. P. Shields and Dr. John Pounds; the latter is the present practicing physician. The village now contains two general stores-one by Ray Thompson and the other by Leonard Coltise; one blacksmith, Edward Bolton; one wagon-maker, William Covey, and one har- ness shop, by Warret Owen & Son. The town probably contains a population of about seventy-five.

MILL CREEK GRANGE NO. 99, OF WATKINS.

This was the first Grange organized in Union County. It was instituted August 11, 1873, by William H. Stokes, of Warren County, Ohio, a Deputy of the National Grange, with the following officers selected by the charter members, viz .: Thomas P. Shields, Master; John M. Roney, Overseer; Lewis Lemay, Lecturer; Bolivar Hays, Steward; Aaron Tossey, Jr., Assistant Steward; Samuel Hannawalt, Chaplain; R. L. Stimmell, Treasurer; William D. Brown, Secretary; Thomas N. Elsom, Gate-keeper; Mrs. Elizabeth Henderson, Ceres; Mrs. Maria Ligget, Pomona; Mrs. Martha J. Elsom, Flora; Mrs. Emily J. Elsom, Lady Assistant Steward. For a few years the society prospered, and in 1876 they raised money by voluntary subscriptions and erected a neat and commodious hall, furnishing it appropriately, at a cost of about $1,000. The hall was dedi- cated April 5, 1877, by S. H. Ellis, Master of the Ohio State Grange. This society has endured great loss in membership, from deaths, removals and other causes.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.

DANIEL ANDERSON, farmer, P. O. Ostrander, was born in Mill Creek Township, Au- gust 7, 1841. His parents were Isaac and Emeroy (Hill) Anderson, the former a native of New York City, and the latter of Vermont.
