and $1.75 on those under that age. The wolf finally disappeared from this region, although an odd one has been seen and dispatched within a few years past.

The beautiful animal known as the red deer was a God-send to the pioneers. From these harmless inhabitants of the forest, that were access- ible at all times, they procured most of their meat. Deer were very num- erous, and more than fifty in one herd have been seen grazing upon the prairie or " stamping flies " beneath the shady groves; but they were usually found in pairs, or half a dozen at most, except when chased by the wolf or dog. At such times, large numbers were aroused from their slumbers and joined in the stampede. Not only was the deer valuable as an article of . food, but its skin, when tanned, served many useful purposes. The stal- wart backwoodsman generally wore a vest and a pair of " buckskin breech- es" made from the prepared hides of these animals. In an untanned con- dition, or rawhide state, it was cut into strips, twisted, then dried in the sun, after which it served the purpose of tugs or chains for the settlers' harness; also lines, bridles, mittens, moccasins and other articles used in pioneer life.

Wild hogs were frequently met with, and were more dreaded, perhaps, than any other of the wild beasts. The genuine wild boar, exasperated by the hunters, was the most terrible game of the forest, and the hunt was exciting and dangerous. His attack was too sudden and headlong to be easily turned aside or avoided, and the snap of his tusks, as he sharpened them in his fury, was not pleasant music to the timid or amateur hunter. His tusks are known to have measured over a foot in length, and many des- perate fights and hair-breadth escapes are recounted in connection with this animal. The wild boar was not valued for its flesh, but was regarded sim- ply as a dangerous pest, and hunted mainly to rid the country of his pres- ence.

There were other animals that once inhabited these parts, viz., panther, lynx, the native wild cat, porcupine, etc., but these, like the elk, the bear, the wolf and the more valuable deer, have long since become extinct. Even the fox, raccoon, woodchuck, opossum and squirrel, together with many other small animals, are growing scarcer year by year under the ruthless hunter's vengeance; and the day is not far distant when Hardin County. will be entirely devoid of the animal as well as the feathery tribes that once infested its forests and prairies. This is not as it should be. The few specimens that are left ought to be spared, and stringent laws should be passed to protect those innocent dwellers of the forest, and prevent their utter extinction.

Among the venomous reptiles that once endangered life and limb, were the racers, copper-heads and prairie rattlesnake. The latter were very numerous, as well as formidable and dangerous. The antidote for their bite, however, grew upon the prairie lands, and was a kind of herb called by the Indians "rattlesnake weed." The person bitten, by immediately chewing a considerable quantity of the stalk, swallowing the juice and binding the pulpy chewings upon the bitten part, prevented all ill effects that would otherwise result from the bite. It is well that the reptiles no longer exist in this land, and that all such venomous things disappear be- fore the onward march of civilization.

TIMBER AND SICKNESS.

The original forest of Hardin County was very beautiful. The trees

were tall and straight, with little or no underbrush in the greater portion of the county. The Indians set fire to the leaves every year, for the pur- · pose of destroying the small growth, which, if allowed to spring up, would soon interfere and impede their hunters in the pursuit of game. Thus the white man found the territory covered with the grand giants of nature, which in the spring time put forth an appearance with which nothing in art could compete for beauty and natural grandeur. The principal timber of this county is as follows: White, red and black oak, walnut, hickory, beech, ash, maple, elm, basswood or lyme, sycamore and cherry. The manufacture of lumber has been, for several years, one of the most impor- tant industries of Hardin County, while its growth and development has been marked by rapidity and stability. There is very little diversity in the topographical appearance of the county, the marshes and timbered lands being about the same in every portion thereof. For a more minute descrip- tion of the several localities, including stream, soil and timber, the reader is referred to the township histories, in each of which will be found an out- line of the same.

One of the principal drawbacks in the early settlement of Hardin County was the prevalence of malaria and "milk-sickness." These diseases were the dreaded enemies of the pioneers, and many found premature graves, stricken down in the prime of life when the future looked bright and promising. During the first years of pioneer life, there was a vast amount of malarial sickness, which retarded the general progress of the settlement, but the prospective advantages of the country, with its rich soil, fine stock ranges and abundance of all classes of game, sustained the spirit of the wavering settlers, and re-animated them with a firm resolution to make this their future home. So they remained and erected their cabins beside the beautiful streams that traversed the surface of the county; here their children were born, lived and died, blessing the foresight and enter- prise of these sturdy pioneers who did so much for the coming generations.

TN writing a history of Hardin County, we believe it to be one of the most important duties we owe to her citizens, to give a correct and authentic list of the men who have filled the most important public offices, and occu- pied a leading position in her affairs. Since the first white settlers erected their cabins within her limits, there has never been a time when there were not men both competent and trustworthy, to transact the public busi- ness and guide the affairs of the growing county in a manner satisfactory to her citizens. With the object in view of preserving the names of those officials, we have spared no pains in making a thorough research of all records within our reach, and believe that we have exhausted every means to render the lists complete and reliable. The reader will bear in mind that half a century has passed away since the first election was held in Hardin County, and that in the first years of her official life little was done toward preserving many facts important to the historian of to-day. No regular method was followed in transcribing the records of the several offices, often the events were not recorded at all, and what does exist is, in places, so in- complete or dimmed by the ravages of time as to baffle our most earnest efforts toward deciphering their meaning with any positive degree of cer- tainty. Then, again, many of the records are missing, being destroyed by the burning of the court house on the 4th of March, 1853.

The only citizen of Hardin County who has ever had the honor of being elected to a seat in the United States House of Representatives, is the Hon. James S. Robinson, of Kenton. He has been a resident of this county since 1846, and has been closely identified with its growth and progress up to the present. In 1881, he was chosen to represent the Ninth Congressional District in the national legislative halls at Washington, and is considered an able and worthy representative.

This county has been honored by the choice of three Presidential Electors from among its citizens. In 1860, Hon. John F. Henkle, was on the Lincoln and Hamlin ticket; in 1864, Hon. William L. Walker was a Lin- coln and Johnson elector; and, in 1868, Gen. David Thomson, was chosen as one of the Grant and Colfax standard bearers, all of which goes toward demonstrating that this small portion of Ohio has taken a leading place in the councils of the State. For thirteen years prior to the organization of Hardin County, its vote was counted with that of Logan. It will; therefore, be of interest to the citizens of this portion of Ohio, to know who have represented the county since its erection in 1820 up to 1883.

SENATORS.

The members of the Senate, under the old constitution, were elected every two years by the legal voters of the State, which was apportioned every four years, the number of Senators being fixed by the Legislature according to the enumeration of white male inhabitants over twenty-one years of age, and the districts established accordingly. The law under the new constitution adopted in 1851, provided for a Senatorial apportionment every ten years, which was to be obtained by dividing the whole popula- tion of the State by thirty-five, the quotient thereof to be the ratio of Sen- atorial representation. The State was divided in fixed districts, numbered, and the counties composing this district (Thirteenth) have been the same since that time.

The following is a list of the counties composing the different Senatorial districts of which Hardin formed a part, also the names of the members who represented said districts: 1820-21, Clark, Champaign, Logan and Wood-George Fithian; 1821-22 and 1822-23, Clark, Champaign, Logan and Wood-James Cooley; 1823-24, Clark, Champaign, Logan and Wood- George Fithian; 1824-25 and 1825-26, Miami, Shelby, Logan, Hardin, Allen, Hancock and Wood-Robert Young; 1826-27 and 1827-28, Miami, Shelby, Logan, Hardin, Allen, Hancock and Wood-Daniel M.

Bean; 1847-48 and 1848-49, Champaign, Union, Logan and Hardin-Joshua Judy; 1849-50 and 1850-51, Logan, Hardin, Union and Marion-William Lawrence.

In the latter year, the new constitution was adopted, and the counties of Logan, Union, Marion and Hardin have since formed the Thirteenth Sena- torial District, and have been represented as follows: 1852-54, John J. Will- iams; 1854-56, William Lawrence; 1856-58, Cornelius Hamilton; 1858-60, C. H. Gatch; 1860-62, T. B. Fisher; 1862-64, John Hood; 1864-66, Will- iam H. West; 1866-68, P. B. Cole; 1868-70.

Strong, who was appointed Judge of the Common Pleas Court in April, 1883.

REPRESENTATIVES.

Under the constitution of 1802, the Representative apportionment was established by the same law as the Senatorial, but the members of the House were chosen annually, while under the new constitution, their official term is two years, and the apportionment is designated by dividing the whole

348

HISTORY OF HARDIN COUNTY.

population of the State by " one hundred," and the quotient thereof is the ratio of representation in the House. The law provides for this apportion- ment every ten years. Upon the erection of Hardin County in 1820, it was attached to Logan and it will be proper to here give the list since that date, viz., 1820-21, 1821-22, 1822-23, and 1823-24, Logan and Wood- John Shelby; 1824-25, 1825-26, 1826-27 and 1827-28, Logan, Hardin, Hancock and Wood -- John Shelby; 1828-29, Logan, Madison, Union and Hardin-Reuben P.

Young, 1882-84, A. K. Rarey.

JUDGES OF THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

Prior to 1852, the Common Pleas Court of Hardin County consisted of a President Judge and three Associate Judges; but under the constitution adopted in 1851, the office of Associate Judge was abolished. No member of the bar of this county has ever been elected to a seat on the bench in this district, so that all of the Judges who have graced the " woolsack " at Ken- ton have been citizens of neighboring counties. The only exception has just occurred, by the appointment of Hon. Luther M. Strong, in April, 1883, to the vacancy occasioned through Judge McCauley becoming a member of the Supreme Court Commission. The following are the names and dates of service of the Judges, viz .: 1833-38, Joseph R. Swan; 1839-43, Emery D. Potter; 1844, Myron H. Tilden; 1845-51, Patrick G. Goode; 1852-56, Benjamin Metcalf; 1857 to November, 1864, William Lawrence; November, 1864-71, Jacob S. Conklin; 1872-76, Philander B. Cole; 1877-79, John L. Porter; 1880 to April, 1883, John McCauley; April, 1883-84, Luther M. Strong.

ASSOCIATE JUDGES.

This office was established under the Territorial Government in 1788, at which time a law was published by which not less than three, nor more than five Justices were to be appointed by the Governor in each county, and known as the County Court of Common Pleas. In 1790, the law was so

349

HISTORY OF HARDIN COUNTY.

amended as to make the number not less than three nor more than seven, and these Judges transacted the minor law business of the county. The constitution of 1802, provided, that not less than two nor more than three Associate Judges in each county, who had to be residents thereof, should be elected by joint ballot of the General Assembly, their official term to be seven years. In 1810, the number of Associate Judges in each county was permanently fixed as three, who, together with the Presiding Judge of the Circuit, constituted the Court of Common Pleas; yet the Associates had power to hold special sessions, try cases and transact the legal business of the county in the absence of the Presiding Judge. Under the Constitution of 1851, the judiciary was re-organized and the office of Associate Judge abolished.

From the organization of Hardin County until the adoption of the new constitution, the following is a list of those who filled the office of Associate Judge in this county: William McCloud and Joseph Bowdle were elected at the legislative session of 1832-33. James E. Hueston was appointed by the Governor in March, 1833, until the next session of the Legislature, and January 4, 1834, he was elected by that body. Some time during the same year he died, and Joseph Cessna was appointed to fill the vacancy in No- vember. 1834, serving until the succeeding session of the General Assembly (1834-35), when Portius Wheeler was elected. The court thus stood -- Hons. William McCloud, Joseph Bowdle and Portius Wheeler until 1840, at which time the two former were succeeded by David Goodin and Henry Adams. In 1841, Conrad W. Show succeeded Judge Adams, and in 1842 Jonathan Cessna took the seat of Judge Wheeler. Judge Show was suc- ceeded by Daniel Baldwin in 1846, and Judge Goodin by Alexander Thom- son in 1847. John Goodin was the successor of Judge Jonathan Cessna in 1849, and Daniel Campbell succeeded Judge Thomson in September, of the same year, so that the last Associate Judges were Daniel Baldwin, John Goodin and Daniel Campbell.

PROBATE JUDGES.

The office of Probate Judge was created by the seventh section of Article IV of the new Constitution, and the first election held to fill said office, on the second Tuesday in October, 1851, the official term to be three years. It is a court of record in the fullest sense, and belongs to that class whose records import absolute verity, that are competent to decide on their own jurisdiction, and to exercise it to final judgment without setting forth the facts and evidence on which it is rendered. The Probate Judge has jurisdiction in probate and testamentary matters, the appointment of ad- ministrators and guardians, the settlement of the accounts of executors, ad- ministrators and guardians, and such jurisdiction in habeas corpus, the issuing of marriage licenses, and for the sale of land by executors, administrators and guardians, also such other jurisdiction in any county as may be pro- vided by law. The first to hold this office in this county was James Bain, 1852-54; Hugh Letson, 1855-57; Samuel Watt, 1858-66; Anthony Ban- ning, 1867-69; Benjamin Eglin, 1870-72; Solomon Kraner, 1873-75; John R. Selders, 1876-81; James E. Lowry, 1882-84.

PROSECUTING ATTORNEYS.

Prior to 1833, this office was appointive and filled by the court. No pretensions were made to regularity, and while some served but one term of court, others held the position for several years. On the 29th of January,

350

HISTORY OF HARDIN COUNTY.

1833, a law was enacted making the office elective every two years, vacan- cies to be filled by the court; but in 1881, the Legislature changed the official term to three years. William Bayles filled the office, 1833-May, 1836; Hiram McCartney, May, 1836-June, 1837; John Lawrence, June, 1837-1839; Andrew Dodds, 1840-1847; William L. Walker, 1848-1851; Lyman C. Hurd, 1852-1853; Sewell Coulson, 1854-1855; C. H. Gatch, 1856-1857; John Stillings, 1858-1859; John N. Absten, 1860-1861; Lester T. Hunt, 1862-1865; James Bain, 1866-1867; A. B. Johnson, 1868-1871; James Watt, 1872-1875; Frank C. Dougherty, 1876-1877; Sutton E. Young, 1878-1879; John H. Smick. 1880-1884.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

By an act published June 19, 1795, adopted from the statutes of Penn- sylvania, three Commissioners were ordered to be appointed in each county for one year, and each succeeding year one was to be appointed to take the place of the Commissioner first named. These appointments were made by the Justices of the Court of General Quarter Sessions of the Peace on the the first day of their January term. In 1799, the length of the official term was designated, viz .: The first Commissioner named on the list, one year; the second, two years, and the third, three years; one being appointed every year as before to supply the place of the retiring member. Their powers and duties were fully defined, and they were to meet annually the first Monday in July to attend to all county business coming under their juris- diction. This law of appointment existed until February 13, 1804, when a law was enacted requiring three Commissioners to be elected in each county, said election to be held on the first Monday in April, 1804. The Commissioners elect were to determine by lot the length of time each should remain in office, viz. : One to serve until the following October; one until the October election in 1805, and the third until the same period in 1806. Thus the office became rotary, and thus it has since remained. Vacancies were filled by the Associate Judges, said appointee to continue in office until the succeeding October election. The Board were to meet annually in June to perform such duties as the law required. On the 22d of February, 1805, an act was passed by which, upon the erection of a new county, the Commissioners elected at the first election only held office until the next annual election; and January 15, 1810, all former acts were amended or repealed, but no change was made in the manner or time of holding elec- tions or office, only the duties of the Commissioners were enlarged and more fully described. A great many acts have since been passed defining and regulating their powers and duties, which may be found in the Ohio statutes.

At the first election held in Hardin County April 1, 1833, John McAr- thur, Charles Scott and Cyrus Dille were elected, and re-elected at the annual election in October, 1833, thus serving through 1834. In 1835, the board stood, Scott, Dille and Richard S. Anderson; 1836, Dille, Anderson and Charles Scott, but in May, 1836, Anderson resigned and John McAr- thur was appointed to fill the vacancy; 1837, Cyrus Dille, Charles Scott and Peter Johnson; 1838.

AUDITORS.

The office of County Auditor was created by an act passed February 8, 1820, by which said officials were appointed by a joint resolution of the Gen- eral Assembly, to hold office one year, but in case of a vacancy occurring, the Court of Common Pleas was authorized to fill the same. The duties of the office were established by the same act, and February 2, 1821, a law was enacted, providing for the election of Auditors in the following October, to hold office for one year from March 1, 1822. The power of filling vacan- cies was transferred to the County Commissioners by the act of 1821. On the 23d of February, 1824, a law was passed, making the official term two years, which, five years ago, was increased to three years, and so remains. Prior to the creation of this office, the principal duties since performed by the Auditor were discharged by the County Commissioners and their Clerk. The following is a list of the Auditors of Hardin County since its organiza- tion: April 1, 1833-43, Charles W. Stevenson ; 1844-47, Alexander L. Bal- lentine ; 1848-49, Samuel Mentzer ; 1850-57, Gilbert Seamon ; 1858-59, James Bain ; 1860-61, Samuel Smith ; 1862-67, Robert D. Millar ; 1868 to March, 1870, William D.
