In 1838, preaching was established at a schoolhouse situated on the right bank of Spain's Creek, half a mile southeast of the present residence of Nel- son B. Johnson, and was sustained with more or less permanence until about 1847, when, the township having built a frame schoolhouse on the farm of Highland Mead, near the present site of the " White Schoolhouse," the preach- ing was changed to the new house, and, up to 1851, the ministry was by Joshua Boucher, Silas Chase, Isaac B. Cartlitch (1841-42), T. A. G. Phillips (1843), William Litsinger (1844-45), William Beamer (1846), Elijah H. Field, Wilson Smith, James A. Donahoe (1847) (1848), Philip Nation (1849), A. U. Beall (1850), David Warnock and Thomas M. Thrall (1851). Thus, after years of meandering, the people of the valley were without a permanent place of wor- ship, and, for the greater part of the time, were dependent upon others for the use of a house, they determined to join with the fragment of the society of Strange Chapel (a preaching-place in the southern border of Monroe Town- ship, Logan County), and erect a church building that should meet their neces- sities as a society. The result was the building of "Salem."

It has been with no small difficulty that the foregoing data have been gath- ered as to the ministers who have in all this time preached to the people of Mingo Valley. How much greater the task, then, to tell who filled the pews and supported the work. The Hunters, Martins, Devores, Russells, Coxes, Millers, Larys, Morgans, Everetts, Goodes, Spains, Inskeeps, Sharps, Igous, Thomases, fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, saints and sinners-each filled a place and discharged a duty in a way peculiarly their own.

Salem Methodist Episcopal Church .- This house of worship was built principally in 1851, and was of brick. Its dimensions were 40x50 feet. The site was donated to the society by Joshua Spain, and was on the southwest corner of his farm, nearly half a mile south of the Logan and Champaign County line, on the east side of the road leading from Mechanicsburg to West Liberty

and Middleburg. The building of this house was a necessary result of two facts-(1) Strange's Chapel having, as a society, become too weak to be self- supporting ; and (2), the Salem society of the Mingo Valley being without a place of worship suitable to its needs.

The principal contributors to the necessary funds were members of the two societies named. Joshua Spain, Hudson Haines, Thomas Hunter, Alex St. C. Hunter, Abram Martin, David Martin, William Evans, Isaac Sharp, John Haines, John S. Hunter, James W. Hunter, Theodric Goode, Salmon Cole and Thomas Everett paid the greater amount.

The contractor for the erection of the house was William Shafer, of North Lewisburg. The total cost was, perhaps, $1,200. The dedication took place August 23, 1852, and was conducted by Rev. Michael Marley. The hymn used on the occasion was number 970, and reads :

" The perfect world by Adam trod, Was the first temple built by God ; His fiat laid the corner-stone, He spake, and, lo ! the work was done.

" He hung its starry roof on high, The broad expanse of azure sky ; He spread its pavement green and bright, And curtained it with morning light.

" The mountains in their places stood, The sea, the sky, and all was good ; And when its first pure praises rang, The morning stars together sang.

" Lord, 't is not ours to make the sea, And earth and sky, a house for Thee ; But in Thy sight our offering stands, An humble temple built with hands."

The dedicatory sermon which followed was of unusual power, and altogether characteristic of the intellectual giant preacher. The sermon of the afternoon was preached by David Warnock.

The winter that followed 1852-53 was one of great in-gathering to the Salem Society. A gracious revival ensued under the labors of Thomas D. Crow and Wesley Denit, assisted by Rev. - Garbison, and about thirty were added to the membership of the society, of which number many remain faithful to this day.

In the years which followed (1853 to 1869), the following-named ministers preached to the society : G. W. Harris, James D. Kendall, G. W. Harris, Thomas Andas, J. T. Bail, John Vance, Samuel Brown, - Sullivan, Wilson Smith, David Sharp, James Manning, N. McDonald, W. N. Williams, D. W. Sargeant, W. B. Jackson, T. E. Fiddler, Wesley Webster, J. Verity, S. Deem, James McHugh and H. M. Curry. In 1868, a proposition was discussed to rebuild or repair Salem, and, the village of Mingo having sprung up in the adjacent valley on the A. & G. W. R. R. (now the N. Y., P. & O. R. R.), it was finally determined to rebuild at Mingo, and abandon Salem. Accordingly the necessary steps were taken, and during the year 1869 active preparations were made toward the building of the

Mingo Methodist Episcopal Church .- The site was donated by J. B. Brin- ton, being the north half of Lot No. 15 of the original plat of the village. The contract was let to Henry T. Raymond, and was completed early in October, 1869. The cost of this house was about $1,500. The principal

529

subscribers to the fund were Thomas Hunter, David Martin, Abram Martin, W. J. Sullivan, Jonathan L. Guthridge, Bowen Fisher, Nelson Johnson, Alfred Johnson, Sylvester Spain, John S. Hunter, Joseph B. Brinton, Simeon L. Russell, Nathaniel C. Hunter, John Lee, J. A. Ryser and C. Austin.

The house was dedicated in 1869, by James L. Bail.

H. M. Curry, D. R. Staley, David Whitmer, Jesse M. Robinson, Allen W. Tibbits, John S. Pumphrey and Henry Miller, have filled the pulpit since its dedication. Jennie Sparks, of London, Ohio, conducted a wonderful revival meeting in the winter of 1879-80. F. M. McAdams, Lorenzo F. Lary, Joseph B. Brinton and Marion Guthridge have severally acted as Superintendents of the Sabbath school, which is well sustained since March, 1870.

Pleasant Run Baptist Church .- This society was organized at Middletown November 5, 1836, Revs. Thomas J. Price, Daniel Beaver and William Fuson being present. Jesse C. Phillips was made temporary Clerk. Otho Johnson was made permanent Clerk on the 3d day of December the same year; and Holdridge Chidister and Isaac Wilson were made Deacons the same time. On the first Saturday in March, 1837, H. Chidister, Isaac Wilson and Otho John- son were made a committee to take the initiatory steps for building a house of worship, and, in December, 1838, Otho Johnson was made Superintendent of the work of building a house on .a lot procured by the committee at a cost of $10.

During the years 1839, 1840 and 1841, the society labored diligently to complete the house, and early in 1842 it was nearly enough completed to be occupied. The original membership of the society were John Johnson and Margaret Johnson, Holdridge Chidister and Mary Chidister, Isaac Wilson and Rebecca Wilson, David Wilson and Mary Ann Wilson; John Martin and Elizabeth Martin, Boyd Richardson and Mary Richardson, Nicholas Swisher and Sarah Swisher, Hester Morecraft and Mercy Wells, Joseph Swisher and Jane Swisher, John Doak and Rachel Doak, Elizabeth Graham, Elizabeth Holloway, Eunice Graham, John Graham, Thomas Wilson and Locke Wilson.

For nearly thirty years, this society enjoyed a reasonable degree of pros- perity, including in its membership many of the worthiest members of the society of the surrounding country, and numbering among its ministers some of the foremost and most prominent preachers of the Baptist denomination.

Of these, mention may be made of Price, Fuson, Carr, Bunker, Davis, Line, Martin, Thomas, Cleveland, Hale, Eppert, Williams, Chidister, Platts, Hawker, Dye and a few others, all of whom have passed to our common des- tiny, the grave.

With the building of the A. & G. W. R. R. (now the N. Y., P. & O. R. R.), through the valley of Mingo, and with the laying-out of the village of Mingo in 1866, it was thought best to abandon the Pleasant Run house as a preaching- point and establish a society and build a suitable house of worship at Mingo. This was finally done, and the old brick which had served so long and so well was purchased by Simeon Morecraft, and we believe is now owned by his heirs. The house of late years has been used as a preaching point by the Friends.

Cable M. E. Church .- In the year 1853, Hiram Cable began the erection of a house of worship in the village of Cable. He was assisted by a number of persons of various religious denominations, and it was his design to make it the property of the Presbyterians, but to be free to others when not occupied by that people. The house was built 50x60 feet, and was a frame with a

530

HISTORY OF CHAMPAIGN COUNTY.

basement of stone. The stone work was done by George N. Swisher and Charles Pullins.

Mr. Cable, not receiving the encouragement he had expected, and finding it would be a heavy financial burden on himself, concluded to sell it in its unfin- ished condition, and accordingly a number of Episcopal Methodists bargained for and bought the building for $350. Prominent among these purchasers were Samuel Organ, John Morgan, W. E. Fuson, Daniel Bell, J. L. Guthridge, Frank Baldwin and James W. Hunter. The house was completed, not with- out many sacrifices and difficulties, for the society was neither rich nor large, and was finally dedicated in due disciplinary Methodistic form by Rev. J. W. Weakley, of the Cincinnati Conference. The house, from first to last, cost about $1,200, and is a substantial frame, finished in good style, meeting the wants of the society, which has now become larger and more prosperous. Rev. John T. Mitchell assisted not a little in the plans that led to the successful building of this house, and his name is held in grateful remembrance by the Methodists of Cable. Since the society organized in the year above named, they have been ministered to by John G. Black, John Vance, James T. Bail, David Warnock, David Whitmer, William Paul, W. B. Jackson, Wesley Web- ster, Allen W. Tibbats, T. E. Fiddler, D. L. Hayward, S. W. Carey and G. H. Kennedy. This society supports a flourishing Sabbath school.

The Sanctuary .- This was a church erected nearly north of the present residence of Alfred Johnson, and was built in the year 1842, by Isaac G. Thomas, carpenter. It was built by a small society of Congregational Method- ists, whose Pastor at the time was Andrew Williams. It was erected on the farm of Mingo Thomas. Polly Thomas, Joseph Johnson and wife, Mrs. Perry and her family constituted the principal membership originally. After a few years the society grew weak, and finally went down, though during these years several noted religious revivals occurred. From 1850 to 1860, the Protestant. Methodists occupied the house by consent, and the people of the surrounding country heard the Gospel tidings as aforetime. From 1860 up to 1866, the Baptists preached at " The Sanctuary," after which, the Mingo Baptist Church having been built, this house was abandoned as a preaching point, and was after- ward removed and became a thing of the past.

Mingo Baptist Church .- This society was, for the greater part, the result of the going-down of the Baptist society at Middletown. Mingo being a thrifty village, situated on a railroad, it was natural that the abandoning of Pleasant Run house of worship would result in the creation of a society, and the build- ing of a church here. It seemed so ordered. The house is a substantial frame and well built. The building was dedicated by David Scott, on the 3d day of February, 1867, the sermon being from the 24th chapter of Matthew, 14th verse. "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world, for a witness unto all nations ; and then shall the end come."

The cost of the building was about $1,200. The principal members at the time of this organization, were Joseph Miller and wife, Ed M. Morgan and Liz- zie Morgan, Abel North and Elizabeth North, Silas Igou and Merdie Igou, David Johnson and Elizabeth Johnson, Jonathan Johnson and Sarah J. Johnson, Hannah Gray, Elizabeth Gray, Huldah Thomas, Lizzie Johnson and others.

David Scott, W. S. Kent, W. R. Thomas, William Wilbur and B. J. George have preached to the society since its organization, and the society has had a steady and healthful growth for some years past. A vigorous Sabbath school is maintained the year round, superintended by Darius T. Runkle.

Carmel Friends' Church .- The Carmel society took shape as early as 1825; the present house was built in 1873, in the western border of the township. Previous to this, the society occupied a meeting-house on the same site, and which was built in 1832. Still earlier the same people worshiped at what is now known as Ryan's, in Salem Township, nearly two miles further north. The early preaching was generally held at the houses of Thomas Cowgill, Sr., W. H. Baldwin and John Robinson. These families, with those of John Miller, Henry Cowgill, Lydia Gray, Jesse Baldwin and others, constituted the mem- bership in its earlier history. Eli Cowgill and Abrilla, his wife, since 1866, have from time to time ministered to this people. They are a progressive, spiritual society, and support a prosperous Sabbath school.

Jenkins' Chapel .- This church was built in 1863, and was dedicated in April, 1864. It is a frame, 46x50 feet, and cost $1,200. This house is the successor of "Clinton's Meeting-House," which stood 200 yards further east, and was built about the year 1842, as a result of the missionary efforts of Andrew Williams, a Congregational Methodist preacher of great zeal in his day. He enlisted in this building enterprise, William Clinton, Benjamin Spillers, James Sheward, Oliver Jenkins, David Edwards and some others, each of whom contributed labor and material for its construction. In this meeting-house the United Brethren and the Methodist Protestants worshiped harmoniously for several successive years. Fredric Hendrix and Samuel Downey were the prin- cipal United Brethren preachers before 1845. Thomas Howe, of the Methodist Protestants, formed a class about 1845, of which Milton Beck, Oliver Jenkins and wife, Mr. Outram and wife, with a few others, constituted the number. The United Brethren society also maintained a small class under the leadership of James Sheward, previous to 1846 ; but it was finally determined to unite the two societies in one, and the society became strictly of the Methodist Protestant order. John Lawson, Abbot, Callahan, Plummer, S. B. Smith, O. P. Stevens, A. Trumbo, T. W. Spring, A. C. Hall, E. W. Winans, H. M. Ravenscroft, W. M. Creamer and T. B. Graham have preached to this society during the latter years.

The present Stewards are : James Outram, Marion Corbet. Leader, Am- asa Corbet. Trustees, R. P. Jenkins, William Rudisill and Henry Nincehelser. Sunday-school Superintendent, Thomas McCarty.

The society repainted and carpeted their house in the fall of 1879. It sus- tains a flourishing Sabbath school.

Cable Christian Church-Was organized about 1860, but preachers of that denomination had labored in the vicinity at intervals for several years previous. Michael Riddle, of Ashland, was the first preacher, his labors lasting four years. The house is a substantial brick, and well situated. The original cost was not less than $1,500. Alexander Pickard, Evans Perry and John C. Guthridge were the first Elders, and Alfred Whitridge, Clerk. John C. Guth- ridge, George McCulley and James Durnell are its present Elders.

The original membership was about twenty; its present strength is near eighty. The church sustains a flourishing Sabbath-school, David Perry, Su- perintendent.

The following ministers have preached to the society since its organization : Michael Riddle, Noah Walker, John Durnell, Benjamin Lockheart, James Goodwin, James Mathews, William Mathews, A. Clark, James M. Henry, Frank Parker, George Morse, John Erritt, S. A. Griffin, A. H. Moore, W. H. Martin, Jesse Roberts, Q. A. Randall.

Mount Olivet or Sodom Camp Ground-Half a mile to the north of the village of Cable, is the site of Mount Olivet, or Sodom Camp-meeting Ground. The lands are now owned by the heirs of James Morecraft, deceased. The association was established in 1833, and held its annual meetings in the month of August each year, until 1839, when it was discontinued. The attendance at these meetings was usually very large, especially on the Sabbath. The meetings were in charge of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and the member- ship and ministry of this denomination from far and near tented on the ground, and usually remained from beginning to end. The preaching, as is usually the case at camp meetings, was of a high order, coming from such distinguished divines as William H. Raper, George W. Walker, R. O. Spencer, John F. Wright, Joshua Boucher, Michael Marley, A. Wambaugh, Silas and Ebenezer Chase, and many others, who, though dead, continue to speak in the influence for good which follows the life of the servant of God.

POLITICS, POPULATION, ETC.

The first election held in the township was held October 8, 1811, but the record fails to show the drift of political sentiment at that time. The number of electors at that election was thirty-one. In the year 1840, the voting strength of the township was 245, of which, as shown elsewhere, the Harrison electors received 191 votes, and the Van Buren electors fifty-four votes.

In the years preceding and up to the present date, the vote has stood :

1875-Governor, William Allen, Dem., 118; R. B. Hayes, Rep., 226; total, 344.

1877-Governor, W. H. West, Rep., 247; R. M. Bishop, Dem., 107; total, 354.

1878-Secretary of State, Milton Barnes, Rep., 238; David R. Paige, Dem., 98; total, 336.

1880-Secretary of State, Charles Townsend, Rep., 276; William Lang, Dem., 119; Prohib., 5; total, 400.

The above figures give the political complexion of the township, and serve to show the very slow rate at which the voting strength of the township has in- creased in the past sixty-nine years. The annual increase has been less than five votes.

The political pot never simmers in Wayne; it always boils. The cam- paigns of 1840, 1863 and 1880 gave evidence of the very intense heat to which political feeling can be aroused, and many incidents might be recounted show- ing the extent of party enthusiasm. In 1840, the people ran wild in their log- cabin demonstrations, and all the ordinary and extraordinary means known to the manipulators of political machinery were used to forward the cause of the respective candidates.

Some of the songs of the time have been handed down to us, and we give below the principal one :

THE BUCKEYE LOG CABIN SONG. Composed by Otway Curry, Feb. 22, 1840.

Oh where, tell me where, was your Buckeye Cabin made ? 'Twas built among the merry boys that wield the plow and spade, Where the log cabin stands in the bonny Buckeye shade.

Oh what, tell me what, is to be your cabin's fate ?

We'll wheel it to the Capitol and place it there elate, For a token and a sign of the bonny Buckeye State.

533

HISTORY OF CHAMPAIGN COUNTY.

Oh why, tell me why, does your Buckeye cabin go ? It goes against the spoilmen, for well its builders know, It was Harrison that fought for the cabin long ago.

Oh who fell before him in battle, tell me who ? He drove the savage legions and British armies too, At the Rapids and the Thames and old Tippecanoe.

Oh what, tell me what, then, will little Martin do ? He'll follow in the footsteps of Rice and Stewart, too, While the log cabins ring again with Tippecanoe.

POPULATION.

1850-White, 1,417; colored, 12; total, 1,429.

That the above is the poll-book of the first election held in the township cannot be stated with accuracy, but it serves to show who were the voters and householders at that early day.

The Presidential election of October 13, 1840, was one of great moment, and if we credit the statement of those who participated in it, many of whom remained to tell how it was, we are led to believe that all other campaigns were quiet ones in comparison to it. The poll-book and tally-sheet were kept on the same sheet of unruled foolscap, of very ordinary quality, but is well and neatly done, in the handwriting of Thomas Cowgill, Clerk, who still lives in and is a citizen of the township.

The following names are copied from the poll-book of the election held in the township of Wayne, county of Champaign and State of Ohio, on the 13th of October, 1840. William Organ, James Gray and John J. Harlan, Judges, and Thomas Cowgill and Daniel Vertner, Clerks, of said election, were severally qualified as the law directs, previous to entering upon the duties of their respective offices :
