MILLS.

The Beltz Grist Mill, located near the Champaign County line and near the Big Darby, was one of the earliest erected mills in the township. About 1820-21, Samuel Hawkins erected a mill on this site, run by water power. After running the mill a few years, he sold the property to Thomas Dunn. About 1835, he was succeeded by Beltz Bros., and from that date to the pres- ent time-a period of nearly half a century --- the mill has been in possession of some of the Beltz family. Soon after Beltz Bros. purchased the property, they erected a small distillery, which, after several years, passed out of use. At one time there was a saw mill run in connection with the grist mill. which was erected either by Mr. Hawkins or Mr. Dunn; it continued to supply the neighborhood with lumber until about 1870, when it went out of use. At the present time, Daniel Beltz is owner and proprietor of this mill. Although this mill in its construction was rude and imperfect, yet in that day it was a great blessing and convenience to this neighborhood. It is now out of repair, and has not been in use for about two years.

Wetzel Mill .- Further down the Darby, in the extreme south part of the township, is the Wetzel mill site. Mr. Daniel Coe, probably about 1836-38, erected a saw mill here, and began the work of digging and constructing a race to supply water from the Darby Creek sufficient to run a grist mill. He was two years constructing this race, which cost $1,300. He also laid the founda- tion for the grist mill, but being unable to complete it, for want of capital, he finally sold the property to Ira Johnson, who then erected the grist mill, and subsequently, or at nearly the same time. built a distillery and a large

warehouse; soon after, the whole property was destroyed by fire. But again he erected the buildings, although on a smaller scale. But the undertaking was too much for his financial strength, and he failed in business, and the prop- erty finally came into the ownership of Williams & Bennett, who also failed, which ended all effort at the distilling business. The grist mill was purchased, at public sale, by Messrs. Howard and Leonard, who subsequently sold the property to Mr. Martin Wetzel: and while in his ownership, in 1856, it was again destroyed by fire. He, however, again rebuilt it, and continued business till the summer of 1882, when he removed the machinery to Unionville, where he erected a mill and is now doing business.

Finley Saw Mill .- About 1848-50, James Finley built a saw-mill on the Milford & Allen Centre pike, run by steam-power. This mill has, since that date, furnished the principal lumber for that neighborhood. After Mr. Finley had run this mill a few years, and prior to the war of the rebellion, sold the property to Mr. S. B. Childs, who has continued to do business here to the present time.

Pottersburg Saw Mill .- In 1868, Williams & Bennett erected a steam- power saw mill at Pottersburg. They were succeeded in its ownership by Smith, Giddings & Co., of Green Springs, Seneca Co., Ohio, who are still proprietors of the same, with D. T. Burr as manager of the business.

SCHOOLS.

As soon as the first settlement had increased to a number sufficient to justify the effort of trying to establish a school, we do not find these worthy pio- neers dilatory in taking measures to secure to their offspring these much-needed advantages. It is believed that the first session of school over held in the pre- cinets of Allen Township was taught by Wilson Reed, in the southeastern part of the township, near Buck Run, in the winter of 1829-30. It was taught in an old log cabin which had been vacated as a dwelling. The next term of school was taught by Amos A. Williams, which was also in a log cabin vacated as a dwelling, but in a different locality from the first, yet in the same neigh- borhood. The next school was taught by Hollis Amy, in his own house. The first building erected for school purposes was a log cabin situated on the Christopher Wilber land, at the corner where the Milford and Lewisburg pikes meet. This house was erected about the fall of 1832-33, and Amos A. Williams was the first teacher. This house served the purpose till about 1838- 39, when a frame house was erected near where the Buck Run Chapel now stands. This building served as a schoolhouse till the erection of the present frame house, situated on the Milford & Allen Center pike, just south of Buck Run. In a like manner, from settlement to settlement throughont Allen Town- ship, as soon as each neighborhood could support a school, some place was furnished and a school established. The township is now divided into ten sub- districts, with as many good schoolhouses. The enumeration of scholars is as follows:

Subdistrict No. 1, males, 16; females, 16; total, 32. Subdistrict No. 2, males, 17; females, 12; total, 29. Subdistrict No. 3, males, 19; females, 11; total, 30. Subdistrict No. 4, males, 7; females, 18; total, 25. Subdistrict No. 5, males; 20; females, 17; total, 37. Subdistrict No. 6, males, 14; females, 16; total, 30.

Subdistrict No. 10, males, 44; females, 46; total, 90. Total males, 209; females, 199; both males and females, 40S.

CHURCHES.

Soon after the early settlers had gained a foothold in the territory now comprised in Allen Township, they established schools for the intellectual de- velopment of their children, and still earlier they commenced to organize churches for the moral and spiritual development of the people.

Buck Run Methodist Episcopal Church .- This was the earliest organized church in the township. It is believed that a class was organized as early as 1825, at the house of Daniel Allen, consisting of the following persons, viz. : Henry Vangordon, Rachel Allen, Philena Mather, Daniel Allen, Kate Van- gordon, Samuel Allen and perhaps a few others, with Samuel Allen as Class- leader. This class was organized by Samuel Allen, who was a local preacher. They continued to hold their meetings first in private houses and then in the schoolhouses until 1853, when the present frame house was erected and dedi- cated to service by Bishop S. M. Merrill. This society increased and multi- plied until at one time its membership reached seventy. But of late it has greatly diminished in numbers by death and removal, until it is at present re- duced to a class of seven persons: and for the last two years has been without a pastor. During the existence of this society they have been administered to by the following preachers: Revs. Daniel D. Davidson. Samuel P. Shaw, William P. Morrow, Michael Marley, Mr. Brown and Robert Finley. After the erection and dedication of the church building. they had the following ministers: Revs. Martindale and Taft, J. S. Adair and D. Mann, Henry Whar- ton and J. T. Miller, J. F. Longman and J. Slocum, William P. Grantham, Henry H. Ferris, G. G. West, S. C. Webster, A. Wilson, Orville J. Nave, H. E. Pilcher, D. G. Strong, and perhaps a few others. The following have been class-leaders: Daniel Allen, Henry Vangordon, Isaac Allen. Samuel Marsh, Christopher Allen, Thomas Long, Randolph Marsh, Uram Marsh, O. B. Con- verse and George Wilbur.

United Brethren Church (Darby Chapel) .- About the year 1849. Rev. F. B. Hendricks, from near Cincinnati, organized a class in the old log school house, with the following persons as members: D. W. Spain and wife Sarah Aun. Reuben Moore and wife Perlina, Joseph Moore, and perhaps a few others. Soon after the organization they proceeded to erect a hewed-log house for church purposes, which was completed about 1851. This house served them until 1870, when the present frame structure was built upon the site of

465

the old house, at a cost of about $1,200, it was dedicted by Rev. W. J. Shuey, of Dayton, Ohio. The following preachers have administered to this people: Rev. B. F. Hendricks, Rev. Tobey, Rev. Farber, Rev. J. M. Marker, Rev. S. S. Holden, Rev. Samuel Downey, Rev. D. Zeigler, Rev. Daniel Miller, Rev. William Miller, Rev. W. McGinnis, Revs. Merrit Miller, William Ray, D. A. Johnson, Henry Tobey, Rev. Kiracofe, Rev. Wagoner, Rev. C. Bodie, Revs. H. J. Mulholland, J. Cost, James Wilkinson, J. T. Mahan and R. G. Mont- gomery. The following persons have been class leaders: Joseph Moon. Reuben Moore, Strange Epps, Hugh Wilson, Clement Spain, Samuel Waddle, William Organ, Fremont Spain and Allen Burroughs. The church now has a member- ship of about sixty.

Darby Methodist Episcopal Chapel .-- About 1850-52, Rev. George Harris organized a class at the schoolhouse, consisting of the following persons: Abraham Holycross and wife Hester, William Holycross and wife Nancy, John Organ and wife Louisa. James Kennedy and wife Ivy, William Holycross, Sr., and wife Amy, Nancy Cline, William Smith and wife Sarah, with Abra- ham Holycross as class leader. Services were held at the schoolhouse about one year, when they erected a hewed-log house for church purposes on the site of the present church. This house served them until 1870, when they erected the present frame building, at a cost of about $1,200. Some of the pastors have been Revs. George W. Harris, Samuel Brown, J. M. Sullivan, Wesley Webster, Jonathan Verity, N. McDonald, W. N. Williams, D. H. Sargeant, E. McHugh, W. B. Jackson, T. E. Fiddler, H. M. Curry, George W. Kelley, A. W. Bell, J. F. Loyd, George H. Kennedy, D. L. Hayward and W. Q. Shannon, the present pastor in charge. The class leaders have been Abraham Holycross and W. H. Crary; the latter being in charge of the class at the present time. The church now has a membership of about seventy-five. Dur- ing the summer a flourishing Sunday school is maintained with W. H. Crary as the last Superintendent.

Allen Centre Baptist Church was organized at the Allen Centre School- house in June, 1854, with thirteen constituent members, as follows: Henry Poling, Jonathan Poling, Edith Wells, Jane Smith, Owen Wilbur, John Pol- ing, Rachel Lott. Sarah Poling, Elizabeth Poling, Catharine Hale, Edward Eaton, Cyrus Poling, James Harvey, Sarah Ann Poling, George Line and Lewis Jones. Elder George Line preached the sermon, and Elder James Harvey gave the Right hand of fellowship. The church was organized as "The Buck Run Baptist Church." Rev. Lewis Jones was the first pastor in charge, preaching as a licentiate till in the fall following its organization, when he was ordained and became the regular minister to the church, and con- tinued as such, holding services in the schoolhouse, until May 12, 1855, when the Baptist Church at Milford Centre was organized and this society was re- moved to that place and united with it. This relation was continued until the summer of 1871, when a re-organization was effected at Allen Centre, known as the " Allen Centre Baptist Church." In the fall of the same year, they com- menced to erect a frame building for church purposes, which was completed in the summer of 1872, and the same dedicated on Sunday, September 8, 1872, the dedicatory sermon being preached by Rev. D. Randall, of Columbus; the pastor in charge at the time was Rev. C. K. Dunbar. The present pastor is Elder Vance.

Protestant Methodist Church at Allen Centre .- In the winter of 1863, Rev. Mr. Plummer organized a class consisting of Lewis Corbitt, George Grove and Samuel Poling, with their wives and several others, and soon after, probably in the fall of the same year, erected a comfortable log house, which was duly dedicated to service. They continued as a society to hold services

466

HISTORY OF UNION COUNTY.

till about 1875, when they ceased to exist as an organization; the church prop- erty was sold and is now the private property of Cyrus Poling. Since then there has been no organization of that name.

Pottersburg Methodist Episcopal Church .- In the winter of 1877, Rev. Frank Loyd held a series of meetings in the schoolhouse at Pottersburg, and during this time constituted a class consisting of the following persons: Clin- ton Leonard and wife Nancy, F. J. Robinson and wife Allie F., Mrs. Mary Ann Burgandine, Samuel Burgandine and wife Jane, Andrew Palmer and wife Nancy, William Robinson, Oliver Grubbs and wife Ruth, Eli Norviel, Willis Epps and wife Sarah, and a few others, with Clinton Leonard, Willis Epps and Eli Norviel as class-leaders. They held their services in the school- house till the summer of 1880, when they erected the present frame house, 28x42 feet, for church purposes, at a cost of $1,200. The house was ded- icated to service by Rev. George H. Kennedy, September 5, 1880. The following ministers have served the church since its organization: Revs. Frank Loyd and George H. Kennedy, who served while in connection with the North Lewisburg Circuit. After the erection of the church edifice, this so- ciety was united with the Newton Circuit, and Rev. John Parlette became their minister; he was succeeded by Rev. Winfield Jaggers. The present minister is Rev. Mr. Little. Present membership, thirty-three, with Clinton Leonard and Samuel Burgandine, as class-leaders. A Sunday school was organized a short time prior to the constitution of the church, which has since been con- tinued and is in a flourishing condition, averaging about fifty scholars in at- tendance, with L. F. Lary, Acting Superintendent.

CEMETERIES.

The Buck Run Cemetery, near the church, was probably one of the earliest burying places in this township. The first persons buried here were Daniel Allen, who died August 2, 1832, and Erastus Williams, who died July 29, 1833. These grounds contain many of the first settlers. On the Lewisburg & Marysville pike is another cemetery, situated on the south side of said pike, a short distance west of Squire Isaac Brodrick's residence. These are the principal burying grounds of this township. although there are two or three other places where one or more persons have been deposited in former days.

POTTERSBURG.

February 18, 1869, Andrew S. Mowry surveyed and laid out a town on Survey No. 315. for David A. Williams and George F. Bennett, to be known as Pottersburg, consisting of twenty-four lots, one main street sixty-six feet wide, and four cross streets, viz. : Front, William, Bennett and Carter, each sixty-six feet wide; the lots all situated on Main street commencing with No. 1, and numbering to 24, with all the odd numbers 1, 3, 5, etc., upon one side of the street, and all the even numbers, 2, 4, 6, etc., on the op- posite side, with alleys in the rear of said lots, each twenty feet wide. The plat and grant of lands dedicated to streets and alleys for public use were duly acknowledged and signed by said Williams and Bennett, and their wives, April 14, 1869, before W. M. Winget, a Justice of the Peace, and the same recorded May 1, 1869, by James Smith, Recorder of Union County, Ohio.

October 22, 1872, Thomas Cowgill surveyed and laid out fourteen lots with one street, known as Railroad street, to be an addition to the town of Pot- tersburg; said addition being situated on the north side of the Atlantic & Great Western Railway, adjoining the town on the north, and made by W. Armstrong. Said street is sixty feet wide. Lot No. 1 is located at the east side of said addition, and numbering westward 2, 3, etc., to No. 14,

467

ALLEN TOWNSHIP.

with three alleys from Railroad street to the rear of said lots, each sixteen and one-half feet wide; and also an alley in rear of lots of same width; the same being duly appropriated and signed and executed by W. Armstrong and wife, before Gilbert H. Stewart, a Notary Public. Recorded December 17, 1872, Hiram Raney, Recorder, Union County, Ohio.

In the summer of 1868, prior to the laying out of the town, Jonas Cline, a carpenter by trade, erected a saw-mill. He also built the first house, which was for Abel Lary; also, in 1869, he erected a house for himself. Then he erected a store room, 12x18 feet, and filled it with groceries, which was the first store in the town. Mr. B. Andrews was the first blacksmith. In 1869, Capt. Cline petitioned for a post office. He received his commission as Post- master the same year, and has continued to hold the office to this date (1882). In the spring of 1864, the Atlantic & Great Western Railway (now the New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio Railroad), was completed, and the first train of cars run over the road. Capt. Jonas Cline was appointed ticket agent. In 1872, the railway company built a good depot, and a telegraph office was established here. About this time, Capt. Cline erected a large, two-story storehouse, and put in a complete and general stock of goods. Where this town now stands was a dense forest, and before a building could be erected the ground had to be cleared of timber and stumps. Now the town contains about 100 souls, with one good general store, by Capt. Jonas Cline; one blacksmith, Harry An- drews; one saw-mill, erected by Williams & Bennett, now owned by Smith, Giddings & Co., of Green Springs, Seneca Co., Ohio, and in charge of D. T. Burr; one tile factory, owned and operated by the Crary Bros., who are doing a large business; one church (Methodist Episcopal); one two-story frame school- house, erected in 1881-82, with two rooms, in which are employed two teach- ers; the house cost about $1,400, all furnished complete.

ALLEN CENTER.

At the location of Allen Center, the first business to be carried on was an ashery, which was erected and run a few years by Mr. Joel Everett. Soon after Joshua Eaton purchased five acres of land, and about 1848-49 laid out a few lots with the object of starting a town. A post office was established in February, 1851, with Reuben Foote commissioned as Postmaster. Ransal Smith carried on the cabinet-making business, and Stephen Donahue, black- smithing. Mr. Barnet Bennett erected a large two-story frame house in 1861- 62, and in one of the rooms placed a small stock of goods, constituting the first general store. He continued business till 1864-65, when he sold out to Jacob Painter, who carried on an extensive trade till the fall of 1875, when he closed out his stock with a series of public sales, and removed to Mississip- pi. Since then one or two others have put in a few goods, but continued in trade but for brief periods of time. About the commencement of the war of the rebellion, the post office was discontinued. At present, the village con- tains a few houses, but no business except farming.

TOWNSHIP OFFICIALS.

This is one of the few townships which has the official records preserved from its organization. The first election, by order of the County Commission- ers, was held on October 9, 1827, at the house of William Milligan, at which election were polled thirteen votes, as follows : Jonathan Burwell, Joseph Russell, Henry Vangordon, Moses Redford, William Epps, Samuel Milligan, Nimrod Garwood, Daniel Allen, William Milligan, William Asher, William W. Haines, John Asher and Southard Mather. Reuben P. Mann received eleven votes for Representative. John Reed, nine, and Levi Phelps, four, for
