About the last attempt to recover a fugitive slave in Northern Ohio, under the old fugitive slave law of 1850, occured September 13, 1858. There had been for some time in Oberlin, a fugitive slave from Kentucky by the name of John Price. United States Marshal Lowe and his deputy, Samuel Davis of Columbus, ar- rived. Price, by ruse, was coaxed out of Oberlin, when he was seized by the above named officers, assisted by Mitchell and Jennings, two Kentuckians. The whole party was then driven over to Wellington, a distance of eight miles. There had been a fire in Wellington and a large crowd was in town; these were soon augmented
317
THE UNDERGROUND RAILWAY
by a crowd of the leading citizens of Oberlin who were red-hot on the trail of the negro catchers. Wellington's Hotel was soon surrounded and the negro rescued.
Warrants were soon issued by the United States District Court for thirteen persons in Wellington and twenty-four from Oberlin. Five of the men were fined $20 and costs and sent to jail for one day. Two of the Oberlin men were fined and imprisoned, Simeon Bush- nell suffered a fine of $600 and sixty days imprison- ment. Chas. H. Langston, a colored man, was fined $100, and sentenced to twenty days in jail. Twelve of the Oberlin men remained in jail in Cleveland for months. During the time of their imprisonment, an immense mass meeting was held in Cleveland. This meeting was for the purpose of expressing sympathy for the prisoners and their detestation of the fugitive slave law. People came from all over Northern Ohio and an immense procession with many banners marched through the streets and surrounded the jail. The meeting was addressed by Joshua R. Giddings in his usual bold and defiant manner. The Governor of the State, Salmon P. Chase, also addressed the meet- ing; 400 Sunday School children from Oberlin came over in a body. The meeting was orderly and law abiding.
After months of imprisonment the men were re- leased; they were escorted from the prison to the train by several hundred citizens with bands playing and the firing of 100 guns on the public square. Such was the atmosphere in which John Brown of Ossawa-
318
THE UNDERGROUND RAILWAY
tomie, breathed. Freedom was in the very air of the Reserve.
On their arrival in Oberlin they were escorted to the great church where, until midnight, the penned up feelings of the people found expression in song and prayer. Such a time has never been seen before or since. A Democratic paper, published in Cleveland said that night "So the government, at last has been beaten ; with law, justice and facts all on its side and Oberlin with its rebellious higher law creed triumphant." It should have gone farther and said: "The voice of the people is the voice of God."
One bright, sunny, afternoon in the month of September, 1823, a negro and his wife and two children passed through Bloomfield, on their way to Ashtabula.
Nearly dark on the same day, three dusty, dirty, way-worn travelers rode up to the tavern and an- nounced themselves as slave hunters.
"Have ye heard of our hunting, o'er mountain and glen, Through cane break and forest-the hunting of men ?
O, goodly and grand is our hunting to see,
In this land of the brave and this home of the free, Gay luck to our hunters! How nobly they ride
In the glow of their zeal and the strength of their pride."
These men were very weary and were no match for Yankee diplomacy and it was easy for the crafty land- lord to persuade them to stay over night. Esquire Brown got out his wagon, others went to warn and secrete the negroes who were found at a house near Rome, Ashtabula County.
The morning came but every one seemed to have overslept, breakfast could not be served because the
319
THE UNDERGROUND RAILWAY
stove would not work. The horses could not be fed as the key to the barn door had been lost. The black- smith shop was visited but the smith was absent. When the stable was finally opened, it was found that each one of the horses had cast a shoe during the night. The blacksmith was again visited but he had no nails, the fire was out and he must make new shoes. So it was well on towards noon before our gay slave hunters rode out of town. Hardly were they out of sight before Es- quire Brown drove in town with the fugitives. They were secreted in the forest and food was carried to them each day. Finally they were placed upon a boat for Canada and their fare paid.
Randolph, Portage County, was also a station of the Underground Railway. In October, 1846, General William Steadman, formerly U. S. Consul to Santiago de Cuba, made a trip to Granville. There he overtook John and Harriet, two colored fugitives, who-having bid defiance to their bonds, were cautiously threading their way to Canada. The General assisted them in getting to Randolph, a flag station on the "Under- ground Railway." Mead and Brainerd who were en- gaged in carrying on steam flouring and sawing one and one half miles southeast from the center, in a secluded locality, employed these runaways, who were subsequently claimed to be the property of one Mitchell in West Virginia. The alleged owner, receiving infor- mation of their whereabouts, sought to recover his property.
On a rainy Saturday evening early in May, 1847, two men with teams and heavy wagons drove up to the Randolph Hotel and engaged lodgings. Soon after ten
320
THE UNDERGROUND RAILWAY
Ohio River boatmen in sailor dress and two gentlemen- ly looking young men were seen making their way east to the mill road. The news of their way was quickly conveyed to Mead and Brainerd who at once secreted the fugitives in the attic of Mead's house, to which the kidnappers soon arrived. With axes in hand Messrs. Mead and Brainerd kept the party at bay during a par- ley until the citizens came in large numbers from all directions, surrounding the rescuing party and con- ducted them back to the hotel, where they were guard- ed until early morning, when they were escorted by the Randolph citizens to Deerfield, thence by two trusty spies across the Ohio River. The fugitives remained secreted and a week later a long-to-be-remembered wedding took place, attended by scores of the best citi- zens of Randolph. After being made one, the fugitives were taken to Painesville and subsequently landed in Canada.
JOHN BROWN OF OSSAWATOMIE
John Brown of Ossawatomie spake on his dying day :
"I will not have to shrive my soul A priest of slavery's pay. But let some poor slave-mother, Whom I have striven to free, With her children, from the gallows-stair, Put up a prayer for me! "
John Brown of Ossawatomi, They led him out to die; And lo! A poor slave-mother With her little child pressed nigh. Then the bold blue eye grew tender And the old harsh face grew mild, As he stooped between the jeering ranks And kissed the negroe's child!
The shadows of his stormy life That moment fell apart; And they who blamed the bloody hand, Forgave the loving heart. That kiss from all its guilty means Redeemed the good intent, And round the grisly fighter's hair, The martyr's aureole bent!
Perish with him the folly, That seeks through evil good! Long live the generous purpose Unstained with human blood! Not the raid of midnight terror, But the thought which underlies; Not the border's pride of daring, But the Christian's sacrifice.
-Whittier.

HISTORICAL' JOHN BROWN, THE KERO OF OSSOWATOMIED
JOHN BROWN OF OSSAWATOMIE
It was the fugitive Slave Act and its operation, that made the northern states so intensely anti-slavery in sentiments that a slave catcher would not be tolerat- ed on the soil. One anti-slave advocate in a neighbor- hood or a township was all that was necessary to soon make the whole township anti-slavery.
Such was the atmosphere under which that strange historical character, whom the world has never fully understood, John Brown, of Ossowa- tomie, breathed and had his being. Freedom was in the very air of the Reserve. A large part of his in- spiration was drawn from the teachings of that emi- nent man, Dr. Henry M. Storrs, the first President of the Western Reserve College of Hudson, the town in which Brown resided.
John Brown was born in 1800 and at the age of five came to Hudson, Summit County, with his parents. He was destined for the ministry but on account of his poor eyesight, he worked for his father at farming and tanning until twenty years of age when he married Dianthe Lusk of Hudson, by whom he had six sons and one daughter. His wife dying, he was married to Mary A. Day, by whom he had 13 children; seven sons and six daughters. He remained in Hudson some twenty- one years when he moved to Pennsylvania. He re- turned to Ohio again in 1833, settling at Kent. In 1840 he removed to Richfield entering the sheep and wool business in company with Capt. Heman Oviatt of Hudson. Here he established a tannery. In 1844 he removed to Perkin's Hill and occupied the house across
324
-
JOHN BROWN OF OSSAWATOMIE
the street from the old Perkin's mansion. Here he was associated with Col. Simon Perkins in the sheep and wool business, establishing a successful business in Springfield, Massachusetts. Disaster again overtook him.
When Kansas was created several sons and sons- in-law "squatted" on that dark and bloody land. The pro-slavery ruffian element destroyed their crops, burned their barns, murdered one, and drove another into insanity. His blood boiling with indignation, John Brown struck for "Bleeding Kansas."
By his coolness and bravery he soon became the leader of the anti-slavery faction. He made raids on the camps of imported southern citizens who had come to drive Freedom from out of the state and establish another slave state.
At the settlement of the town of Ossawatomie, he generaled but a handfull of men with such rare ability and utter fearlessness that he routed a large force of border ruffians which gave him the name of "Old Was- sotomie." This struggle continued four years and finally resulted in admitting Kansas as a free state.
Brown returned to New York, where from friends and the Emigrant Aid Society, he obtained $4,000 in cash and double that amount in munitions and arms of war.
He came to Akron in 1856, holding several meet- ings which resulted in his securing a small, one story, stone building on Broadway, just north of Exchange Street, which was called John Brown's Arsenal, the basement of which was stored with rifles, shot guns, revolvers, pistols, swords, butcher knives, powder and

lead. This building is yet in a splendid state of preser- vation. State arms stored in the jail and two cases of arms of a Tallmadge company were fond to be missing but no one saw fit to search Brown's Armory.
In 1858 he instituted in Chatham, Canada, the "True Friends of Freedom." He was elected Comman- der-in-chief and J. H. Kagi, Secretary of War.
After having made a great number of long- handled pikes for use of negroes, he in 1859 made his headquarters at Kennedy farm, five miles from Har- per's Ferry, where one of the great Arsenals of the United States was located.
Here he proceeded to put the visionary dream of a lifetime into practical effect. With a force of but twenty-one men, as wreckless and dare-devilish as him- self he made an unexpected attack on the U. S. Arsenal at Harper's Ferry. For nearly two days he held the town, the National troops and the militia of Virginia at bay. His brave defense of the round house has gone down in history and challenges admiration of the world for its deeds of reckless daring and conscientious valor in trying to break the shackles from off the slave and give to him that freedom which God guarantees every man.
Thirteen of Brown's brave men made the supreme sacrifice, among them two of Brown's sons. Two made their escape and the remainder including Brown, were taken prisoners.
Brown was tried for treason. He was convicted and sentenced to be hung. This sentence was carried out Dec. 2, 1859.
John Brown the tool, John Brown the victim, John
327
JOHN BROWN OF OSSAWATOMIE
Brown the fanatic is dead; and in his place the great heart of America has canonized a saint. Brown living had no following, no power ; but Brown dead, became a saint, deified by the sentiment of a free north. The news of his raid, his trial, his death and the bitterness engendered electrified the whole north and shook it to its very center.
"His Soul Goes Marching On."
In the gloaming of those fall days, I can remember the farmers congregating in the fence corners and dis- cussing in low tones, John Brown and the country. The consensus of opinion was that breakers were close ahead, the clouds of gloom and disaster were lowering around the great Republic, men's hearts grew tender and stern with varying moods, but patriotism grew and the love of liberty intensified. The sentiment of the Northland solidified and when conjecture became a fact, the people were ready for it, resigned to manly sacrifice of blood and treasure, for freedom. That great incubus of human slavery was doomed. The hearts of the people first wrote the emancipation pro- clamation in tears and sighs and blood. Whittier said:
"Thenceforth our life a fight became. The air we breathed was hot with blame; For not with gauged and softened tone We made the bondsmen cause our own.
We bore, as Freedom's hope forlorn, The private hate, the public scorn;
Yet held through all the paths we trod
Our faith in man and trust in God.
328
JOHN BROWN OF OSSAWATOMIE
We prayed and hoped; but still with awe, The coming of the sword we saw; We heard the nearing steps of doom, We saw the shade of things to come.
In grief which they alone can feel Who from a mother's wrong appeal, With blended lines of fear and hope We cast our country's horoscope.
Deep as our love of her became Our hate of all that wrought her shame,
And if, thereby, with tongue and pen We erred,-we were but mortal men.
We hoped for peace; our eyes survey The blood-red dawn of Freedom's day;
We prayed for love to loose the chain; 'Tis shorn by battle's axe in twain!
Nor skill nor strength nor zeal of ours Has mined and heaved the hostile towers;
Not by our hands is turned the key That sets the sighing captive free.
A redder sea than Egypt's waves Is piled and parted for the slave; A darker cloud moves on in light; A fiercer fire is guide by night!"
Thus we have traced the "Spirit of Freedom" in the Western Reserve from the dusky savage to the citizen of the twentieth century.
May "Freedom" ever rule.
