Since 1938 the road has been leased to the New York Central Lines.
The persons who served as Freight Agents in Wharton whose names could be recalled were Ira Bristoll, Marion Earp, R. Salisbury, Frank Yake, L. S. DeLong, R. B. Haubler, and S. R. Neese. C. A. Pugh has been Freight Agent in Wharton since Aug., 1935,

The Methodist Church
In the northwest quarter of Section 28 of Richland Township. where now New Zion Church stands, the Methodists built the first church in Richland Township in 1852. It was built of hewn logs and measured twenty-four by thirty feet in size. Previous to that the services were held in a school house. However the first religious services were not held by Methodists. The first preaching reported in Richland Township was done by Mr. James Peters, a Baptist min- ister of the "Old School Baptist" persuasion.
The organization of the Methodist churcr in Richland Township dates May 28, 1853, under the ministry of Rev. John McCane, Pastor of the Mccutchensville Circuit, Tiffin District, North Ohio Confer- ence. After that in 860-1861 a frame church was built in Whartens- burgh in the same place where now the brick edifice stands.
In the year 1882 when Rev. J. H. Carter was Pastor of the church in Wharton this frame church was moved to the north of Mr. Paul Secrist's Garage where it still stands and serves as a warehouse for the Wharton Hardware. The present brick building was then erected and dedicated in the year 1882. Rev. Jacob Holms, then Pre- siding Elder, held the First Quarterly Conference in same. The church was erected at the cost of six-thousand dollars.
This building was remodeled under the ministry of Rev. G. H. Beaschler, then under the ministry of Rev. Nelson Cruikshank and lastly under the ministry of Rev. N. H. Bradley.
In 1866 Whartensburgh, Zion Church and Mount Blanchard Church made up a circuit. When Mount Blanchard Church was add- ed to another circuit, the churches of Lovell and Crawford were as- signed to the Wharton circuit. When Rev. George Sessions was Pastor here, Wharton became a "station", that is to denote that Rev. George Sessions had only the Wharton Church to serve.
In the year 1928 Wharton Church became connected with the Crawford Crurch and the Mccutchensville Church to form a circuit. Rev. N. H. Bradley then was the minister. In 1933 the Mccutchens-
Page 13
1846-WHARTON 125TH ANNIVERSARY-1971
ville Church was added to another circuit and the Vanlue Church was assigned to the Wharton circuit.
The first parsonage was erected while the Rev. A. M. Christ was minister in Wharton. At that time J. A. Bell, Lewis Cole, Wm. Bris- toll, David Sheldon and Edwin Brown were the Trustees. Rev. Beas- chler was the first minister to occupy the new parsonage. In 1945 the present parsonage, then a dwelling, was purchased. Present trustees are Ralph Bowman, Joe Price, Stanley Walters, Wayne Cole, Eugene Van Buren, Pearl Price, Preston Weller, Russell Hus- ton and George Fox, Jr.
Ministers who served since the building of the present church in 1882, are:
Rev. J. H. Carter, Rev. G. H. Priddy, Rev. J. M. Mills, Rev. J. M. Perkins, Rev.Daniel Carter, Rev. C. E. Rowley, Rev. W. E. Hill, Rev. E. J. Webster, Rev. D. C. Hall. Rev. A. M. Christ, Rev. G. H.

The Church of God
In the year 1911 Rev. O. O. Tracy had three preaching places, Grace Chapel, Kirby and Star Bethel. Under his efforts the building of a church in Wharton was planned and the work for same was com- menced April 20, 1911. This fine edifice was completed at a cost of $6,500 and is built of buff brick with a substantial slate roof. The dedication took place October 22, 1911 and as the services continued in the new church, the Star Bethel Church was abandoned and final- ly sold. The proceeds were applied to the new church. The church also experienced a great spiritual up lift under the ministry of this pastor for there were 42 conversions and several baptisms by im- mersion.
The first trustees were S. E. Huston, A. C. Ward and Elias Went- ling. The first Elders were Wm. Baker and S. E. Huston. The first Deacons were A. C.Ward, H. B. Lambert, Elias Wentling and D. W. Brandt.
Miss Grace Nettro, Pastor at the church at Overton, held the first service in the new church. The Dedicatory Service was held by Dr. C. I Brown, President of Findlay College. In the afternoon this cervice was followed by a musical program in which the choir of the Church of God of Kirby, the Sylvian quartet of Forest and the Ladies Choir assisted. The ministers Rev. Turner and Rev. Koogle were pre- sent at these services.
The first Sunday School at the Church of God was organized
Page 14

Since the ministry of Rev. Tracy the following ministers served this church: Rev. Steiner, Rev. Bauders, Rev. Miller, Rev. Kriner, Rev. Neff, Rev. Gaylord Wilkens, Rev. Robert Fast, Rev. Richard Wilkens and Rev. Fred J. Landolt.
The Christian Union Church
The Christian Union Church was founded in Wharton under the ministry of Rev. Stevenson in 1892. The building stood on West Sandusky Street where now the residence of D. F. Young stands.
The ministers who served in this church and whose names were ascertainable were: Rev. T. K. Leonard, Rev. J. Roberts, Rev. G. Carder and Rev. T. Smith.
The Christian Union Church was dissolved in 1910 and the build- ing used for building material for residences.

At present this Order has 110 members and owns the building in which their meetings are held. The documentary seal shows "Whar- ton Lodge No. 633, I. O. O. F." and still carries the name "Whartens- burgh, O." Robert Rish is Noble Man of the Lodge.

Lincoln Grange
Lincoln Grange No. 1957 was organized Jan. 18, 1915 at Whar- ton, Ohio by the late C. E. Brown, who was then the Wyandot County Deputy State Master, with a charter membership of 28. Three of them are still living, namely, Mrs. Verna Cole, Mrs. Fairy Secrist and Mr. Ray Plotts. The Grange held its meetings at Wharton in the old grange building which was the first such building in Wyandot Coun- ty. Then in 1923, when Richland Twp. schools became centralized, Lincoln Grange purchased one of the little red school houses, 2 miles north of Wharton. This building has been the grange's home ever since. In 1956, they built an addition to this red school house to bet- ter serve the Grange and community.
The Grange has been very active since organized with regular meetings having an interesting Literary program at all meetings per- taining to World Peace, Freedom, Patriotism, Intelligent Citizenship, Education, Fraternal Fellowship, Socialibility, Sound Legislation, Im- proved Highways, Recreational Facilities, Improvement of the farm and home, and Conservation programs. In the past, the Grange has furnished the following State Deputy Masters: Mr. and Mrs. R. R. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Musgrave, and Mr. and Mrs. Donald Plotts.
The late Ray Musgrave was the first master of Lincoln Grange. He was followed by Paul Secrist, Dale Motter, Marion Motter, How- ard Cole, Clyde Cole, Ray Plotts, R. R. Smith, Mrs. R. R. Smith, George Stout, Bard Musgrave, Clarence Suber, Donald Weller, Dewey Plott, Estrel Suber, Robert Motter, Robert Suber and several more past masters whose names are not available at this time.

Later this company sold its outfit to the Ohio Fuel Gas Company. This gas company is now known as the Columbia Gas of Ohio,, Inc. with our district office in Upper Sandusky, Ohio.
The Post Office
As stated, James E. James was the first Postmaster in Whar- tensburgh. He was installed in this office in 1852. The following held office after him: Ira Bristoll 1855, Adam DeBrough 1866, Charles Hostler 1867, Hiram P. Marshall 1868, Adam B. Houk 1869, S. R. Coates 1869.
ON MARCH 6, 1879 THE VILLAGE WAS INCORPORATED AND ITS NAME CHANGED TO WHARTON and S. R. Coates was
Page 22
1846-WHARTON 125TH ANNIVERSARY-1971
re-appointed Postmaster.
Other Postmasters were: A. J. Greek 1886, Charles Bell 1894, E. E. E. Kear 1897, Hiram Miller 1902, John Gatchell 1914-1942.
Up to the installation of Mr. John Gatchell in office the post- mastership was a political job. Mr. Gatchell was the first Post- master who entered his office after a Civil Service examination. He was born April 30, 1872; is in good health and, incidentally, celebrated his Golden Wedding on the day of Wharton's Centennial, August 11, 1946.
Next in the office was Harold Gibson. Glenn Heuberger came into the office in 1946. -
Following the death of Mr. Heuberger, his wife Wilma took over as postmistress. Mrs. Heuberger was followed by Herbert Baker, Jr. Under Mr. Baker's term, he got permission from the U. S. Govern- ment to build a new post office, almost directly across from the o'ld post office. Mr. Baker was then replaced by Ralph Gibson while the former is now rural carrier.
The Wharton Cemetery
The ground for a needed burial site was purchased by the village of Wharton from J. W. Ireman and the plots were laid out October', 1880. Six years later ground for a North Addition to the cemetery was bought from Mrs. J. W. Ireman and in 1889 more land was pur- chased from the same person for the South Addition.
Another section, called the Wise Addition was purchased from Mrs. Jerome Wise in 1934.
In 1923 the Village Council created a fund for the perpetual up- keep of the cemetery. The money of this fund was to be invested in Government Bonds, State or Municipal bonds or to be placed in the local bank. The interest of this money was to be used for the upkeep of burial lots. Also a charge of ten cents per square foot of ground was to be collected from lot owners for the upkeep. This fund today has approximately $2,800.00.
The first burial in the Wharton cemetery was that of Lola M. Rummel who died October 19, 1880.
On May 30, 1946 a Memorial Day program was held in the ceme- tery in honor of the veterans of the recent world war. Celebrations of this kind have been held here in previous years with ever increas- ing interest.
Finally in the early 1950's, this cemetery operating under the Village of Wharton was having difficulty in continuing such opera- tions. At this time, it was suggested that a levy be placed on the ballot for the voters of both the Village of Wharton and the Richland Township. Therefore, the cemetery was re-organized as Wharton- Richland Union Cemetery in 1956. Following this new setup, the Trustees proceeded to acquire more land from J. (H. Lutz, directly across from the older cemetery. This parcel of land was donated by Mr. Lutz, incidentally.
The upkeep fund now has over $6,000.00 and which money is on time certificates from the Wharton Bank. The interest on these cer-
1846-WHARTON 125TH ANNIVERSARY-1971

tificates, the sales of lots and tre levies are keeping this said ceme- tery going and growing.
It is estimated that there are about 1000 graves by now.
The original Committee for this Historical Sketch, Dr. D. Worth- man, the late Mr. Bert Lee, the late Mr. John Gatchell and the late Mr. C. A. Pugh, are grateful for the assistance friends have given to this work and feel especially indebted to the late Mr. John Long for the furnishing of much valuable data for this book.
