Mrs. A. J. Kerr, Mrs. S. H. Braden and Mrs. H. E. Bigham; Rec. Secys. - Miss Sarah Pew and Mrs. Whitney; Cor. Secys .- Mrs. Mamie Burwell and Miss Sarah Pew; Treas .- Mrs. Belle Foster. Lectures and temperance addresses have been given under the auspices of the local Union every year since its organization, and all possible efforts have been made to suppress the consumption and sale of intoxicating liquors. The result has been, and this result is due alone to the Women's Christian Temperance Union and its co- operators, that there are now no open bars in Mercer, and the sentiment is so strong against the traffic, that it is improbable that any will be soon re-opened. This success has not been achieved without severe struggles; and nothing short of almost invincible courage enabled the members of the local Union to perse- vere in the face of so many hardships. At present monthly meetings are held, the place of holding these alternating among the various churches.

R. R. Wright, M. B. Mckinley, J. M. Ewing, R. A. Stewart, M. P. Martin, E. L. Garvin, George Pearson, W. C. Alexander, H. H. Zeigler, John I. Gordon, J. R. W. Baker, W. D. Keck, C. M. Derickson and Hon. S. S. Mehard, as original members. A charter was granted in 1884, upon which appears the object of the organization: "The protection and propagation of game and game fish, the enforcement of all laws against the unlawful killing of the same, the advancement of fellowship, unanimity and a higher standard of action among sportsmen, and the provision of recreation and pleasure for its members." At the time of the issue of the charter the officers were: Samuel B. Griffith, president; B. J. Haywood, vice-president; William Miller, Jr., secretary; A. B. Filson, treasurer, and James A. Stranahan, Charles Clawson and N. C. Packard, executive committee. The members not originally belonging were, in 1884, A. B. Filson, Henry Hall, Thomas Farmer, William Kile, Charles Clawson, A. H. McElrath, R. J. Zahniser, B. J. Haywood, J. McMichael, N. C. Packard and C. Q. Carver. The first encampment, held in 1878, occurred at Sugar Lake, in Crawford County; in 1879, at Burke Lake, Mich. ; in 1880, at Muskoka Lake, near Beaumaris, Ontario; in 1881, again at Burke Lake; and in 1883 buildings and grounds were purchased at Muskoka Lake, on what is known as Point Comfort, Tondern Island, since which time annual summer encampments, lasting one month, have been held at the club's grounds. The property of the club, consisting of canoes, guns, dishes, tent- ing and other equipments, is valued at $1,000. The occasion of the annual encampment, usually held in July, is looked forward to with great interest by the members of the club, as it is always one of surpassing enjoyment. The membership is quite large, extending over several adjoining counties. The last officers elected comprised, president, Herman Frankel; vice-president, Thomas Tanner; secretary, Q. A. Gordon; treasurer, Charles Clawson; executive com- mittee, Johnson Zahniser, Charles Clawson and F. P. James.

BANKING INSTITUTIONS.

First National Bank .- The predecessor of the present bank was a private banking and brokerage concern operating under the firm name of Stevenson, Van Horn & Hanna, which was organized about the outbreak of the Rebellion. The present institution was chartered in May, 1864, and began business with a capital stock of $60,000, which was doubled in May, 1875. The first corps of officers comprised A. G. Egbert, president, and John R. Hanna, cashier. By the resignation of Mr. Egbert, which occurred January 13, 1869, Hon. Samuel Griffith became president. He was succeeded by William Logan. Mr. Hanna was succceeded by O. L. Munger, and he by W. C. Alexander; he, in turn, by C. S. Burwell, who left Mercer in April, 1888. Mr. W. Miller became his successor, and is the present incumbent. The present officers con- sist of William Logan, president; William Miller, cashier; C. P. McKean, teller, and A. J. Mckean, Thomas R. Sheriff, Jolin B. Mowry, B. A. Wil- liams, S. H. Miller and R. R. Wright, directors. A very fair business is transacted by this institution. It has recently removed into handsome quar- ters in the Miller & Gordon Block, where it enjoys unsurpassed facilities for conducting a general banking business.

Farmers' and Mechanics' National Bank was chartered May 11, 1875, with a capital stock of $80,000, and began operations in June of the same year. The first officers were: President, B. Magoffin; vice-president, C. M. Stewart; cashier, L. Hefling. Dr. R. V. Bellis acted as president for several years, and was succeeded by Mr. Magoffin, the present incumbent. Mr. Hefling was succeeded by John Robinson as cashier. The present officers comprise B.

Magoffin, president; Levi Morrison, vice-president; John Robinson, cashier; Henry Robinson, assistant cashier; and C. M. Stewart, P. J. Pierce, John I. Gordon, S. F. Thompson, John M. Magoffin, S. C. Koonce and John Hutchi- son, directors. The bank enjoys an extensive patronage, and occupies com- modious and accessible quarters on the north side of the diamond.

Building and Loan Association .-- The advantages which an organization with a purpose of assisting by loans in the erection of houses and in the pur- chasing of real estate led to the formation of the Mercer Building and Loan Association, which was incorporated December 18, 1873, with the following named gentlemen as charter members: Hon. S. H. Miller, A. J. Greer, Will- iam Bell, A. B. Filson, O. L. Munger, John G. Kline, A. J. Mckean, E. L. Garvin, J. E. McClure, W. C. Alexander, W. J. McKean, Thomas R. Sheriff, P. J. Pierce and James A. Stranahan. The association continued in existence with varying fortunes until July, 1883, when a dissolution was agreed upon, and the effects of the enterprise were closed out. The officers at time of dis- solution were S. F. Thompson, president; R. R. Wright, secretary and treas- urer, and A. P. Burwell, James Denniston and Dr. C. M. Stewart, directors.

GAS AND WATER COMPANIES.

Mercer Heat, Light and Power Company was chartered November 19, 1883, for the purpose of supplying the borough with natural gas, or rather to develop a sentiment favorable to the use of the new fuel. The capital stock was fixed at $2,000, divided into forty shares of the par value of $50 each. The directors of the company were William Paden, H. H. Lininger, Robert Orr, Herman Frankel and R. A. Stewart. Nothing further was done by the company than to secure a charter.

Mercer Gas Company was chartered December 28, 1883, with a capital stock of $5,000, divided into 100 shares of the par value of $50 each. The first directors of this company were William Logan, B. Magoffin, P. J. Pierce, A. J. McKean, George Pearson, R. R. Wright and Levi Morrison. Although a charter was secured nothing further was accomplished.

Mercer Gas Light and Fuel Company .- The result of previous agitations relative to the introduction of natural gas into Mercer was the organization of this company, which was chartered October 6, 1886, with a capital stock of $12,500, divided into 250 shares of the par value of $50 each. The original shareholders were John I. Gordon, S. H. Miller, John Robinson, B. Magoffin, C. W. Mackey, John M. Dickey, William Miller, Jr., Montrose M. Magoffin, Peter J. Pierce, H. H. Zeigler, G. W. Wright, J. F. Hindman, A. Newell, G. K. Smith, W. R. Montgomery, A. H. McElrath, C. S. Burwell, J. W. Nickum, C. E. McWatty, R. S. Madge, Herman Frankel, R. R. Wright, A. J. McKean, R. A. Stewart, Henry Robinson, S. F. Thompson, J. M. Douds, Mrs. M. Magoffin, Grace A. Jackson and Jennie M. Jackson. The first board of directors comprised John I. Gordon, president; S. H. Miller, S. F. Thompson, A. J. McKean, Herman Frankel and B. Magoffin. The gas, with which the town is thoroughly supplied through a net-work of pipes, was originally obtained from the Columbia Gas Company, but that organization being merged into the Standard Company, the latter furnishes the Mercer supply. The fuel is used quite extensively in the borough, one or more stoves being supplied with it in nearly every house.

The Mercer Water Company was incorporated September 7, 1886, with a capital stock of $24,000, divided into 240 shares of the par value of $100 each. The first directors consisted of S. H. Miller, president; John I. Gordon, C. W. Whistler, R. R. Wright, A. J. McKean and B. Magoffin. The water with

373

HISTORY OF MERCER COUNTY.

which this company supplies the town is obtained from the Neshannock Creek, whence it is forced by a steam pump into a large reservoir tank, holding, when full, 1,500 barrels, situated on the brow of the hill on which the city is built, from which, by a system of pipes and mains, the supply is distributed to patrons. There are 222 consumers in the borough, necessitating 14,500 feet of main piping. The present officers of the company are S. H. Miller, presi- dent; John Robinson, secretary and treasurer.

Cemeteries .- Mercer has two burial places. One of these is the burial ground north and west of the First Presbyterian Church. It was established at a very early period, and served to be the last resting-place of many of the old and prominent citizens of Mercer and the vicinity. Of late years it has been much neglected, weeds and briars growing luxuriantly, and, in many cases, rendering it almost impossible to reach the monuments and tablets erected over graves.

The other is the Citizens' Cemetery, which was established by act of the General Assembly, approved April 14, 1852. It embraces about four acres in the south part of the borough, and was incorporated by Lewis Weaver, Henry Forker, R. L. Maxwell, William Maxwell, R. T. Clark, J. R. Hunter, Joseph Gordon, Samuel Griffith, R. Hanna, J. Sykes, W. McMillan, J. McBirney, John Sloss, B. Lindsay, W. S. Rankin, B. H. Henderson, John S. Pearson, William M. Gibson, E. F. Pearson, William Stewart, J. Pew, George Kline, W. Gregory, Joseph Sheriff, T. Graham, R. Shipler, J. Phipps, J. Pearson, J. Hosack, A. Stewart, Joseph Shipler, Joseph Forker, E. W. Carter, W. M. Stephenson, J. L. McQuillan, Thomas J. Mowry, Joseph Thompson, John Moore, A. E. Eberhart, T. J. Hirst, J. Baskin, John Forker, George Bell, Adam Forker and J. D. McGill. By charter the affairs of the organization are to be directed by a president and six managers, to whom is entrusted the management of the institution. The grounds are neatly laid out, and shaded, and contain some neat and handsome monuments.

Population. - The growth of Mercer has never been rapid, its lack of rail- road and shipping facilities, until quite a recent date, confining its population to a slow but steady natural increase. In 1850 it contained 1,004 inhabitants; 1860, 1,249; 1870, 1,235, and 1880, 2,344. It has now an estimated popula- tion of about 3,000.

O N the boundary line between the second and third States of the Union, in point of size, safely nestled between gently sloping hills, along whose bases flows the historic Shenango, lies the metropolis of Mercer County -Sharon. Its early settlers came during the second administration of President Washington, and began to open up homes for themselves and their families. One of the first of these was Benjamin Bentley, who came

374

HISTORY OF MERCER COUNTY.

from Washington County, Penn., in April, 1795, and took up a tract of 400 acres, embracing what is known as the Quinby farm, on the east side of the Shenango River, in the southern part of Sharon. According to James Bentley, a son still living one and a half miles west of Sharon, in his ninety-first year, Mr. Bentley brought his family from Washington County in May, 1796, in a canoe, down the Ohio and up Big Beaver and Shenango Rivers, to the place where, on his "tomahawk claim," he had erected his rude cabin the previous year, to hold possession. His family, at the time, consisted of his wife and these children: Robert, Adamson, George, Benjamin, Elizabeth and Hannah. After reaching his new home, were born James, Martin, Sheshbazar, Mary and Aholi- ab. James and Aholiab are still living. James was the first white child born in this portion of the Shenango Valley, that important event in his history hav- ing occurred on the 23d of May, 1798.

Benjamin Bentley built a grist and saw-mill on his place in 1802. It was the first of the kind on the Shenango within the limits of Hickory Township. The Indians, who were then numerous in this region, came to Mr. Bentley to get their meal. On one occasion they traded a dog that was half wolf for three bushels of meal. After the meal- was consumed they returned to get their dog. Bentley was inclined to grant their request, lest they would de- stroy the mill. The Bentley boys, however, would not permit the dog to go. When the Indians were asked why they wanted the animal, they said, with . true Indian duplicity, " To trade for more meal." In 1808 Mr. Bentley sold his farm to Samuel Quinby, and removed across the line into Ohio, locating in Brookfield Township, about half a mile north of where his son, James, now lives. He continued to live there until the time of his death, in September, 1818, in his sixty-third year. His wife, Mary (Baldwin) Bentley, died many years afterward, aged eighty-six years. Both are buried in Oakwood Cemetery.

In the spring of 1796 William Budd came from Washington County, Penn., and took up a tract west of the Shenango, opposite that of Bentley. He erected a log cabin, and for quite a year or two indulged in keeping "bach- elor's hall." The year following (1798) he joined his interests in ties of wedlock with Drusilla Hulse, of Washington County, Penn., whom he brought to share with him the hardships and privations of pioneer life on the Shenango. From this union sprang five sons and two daughters: Joseph, William, Edward Schofield, Henry Hoagland, Daniel Upson, Elizabeth and Sichy. These children lived to be prominent residents of the community, where many of their descendants are still to be found.

William Budd laid out and platted Sharon in the year 1815, on the west side of the river. During his life-time he erected four different dwellings on his land. He died May 23, 1849, aged seventy six years. His first wife died June 10, 1815, and he was again married in 1821, and survived his second wife.

His parents, William and Sichy Budd, brothers Daniel and John, and sisters Patience, Nancy, Sallie, Elizabeth and Mary, came from Washington County, Penn., soon after, and located on the land entered by William. The parents died on the homestead at an early day, and Daniel was the only one of their children, except William, who remained in Sharon. Daniel married Elizabeth, daughter of Samuel Quinby. He laid out a portion of the town east of the river, and died October 7, 1841. His widow survived him till February 22, 1880, and his two living children, Mrs. Sarah Malin and Lafay- ette, reside in Sharon.

Charles and Frances Reno came from Allegheny County, and located on a farm on the east side of the Shenango, in the year 1798. The greater por-

375

HISTORY OF MERCER COUNTY.

tion of East Sharon is built on this farm. They had twelve children, seven sons and five daughters, all of whom lived to have families of their own. Three of the daughters, Mrs. Julia A. Trotter, Mrs. Jane Byers and Mrs. Amanda Christy, and two sons, C. L. P. Reno and W. N. Reno, are still liv- ing. Charles Reno died November 4, 1840, and Frances, his wife, May 16, 1820. A grandson of Charles Reno, that is, a son of Lewis T. Reno, became prominent in military affairs. Reference is had to Maj. - Gen. Jesse Lee Reno, who was born near Wheeling, W. Va., in 1825; was appointed a cadet from Franklin, Penn., to West Point in 1842, graduated with honor in 1846; joined Scott's army in Mexico, where he did valiant service; was made briga- dier-general of volunteers in 1861, and did efficient service with Burnside in North Carolina, and Mcclellan in the Peninsula campaign in 1862; served with Pope in the second battle of Bull Run, and was finally killed in the battle of South Mountain, September 14, 1862.

In 1802-03 Isaac Patterson, a native of Adams County, Penn., secured quite a body of land lying north of State Street and west of the Shenango. It was part of an extensive tract taken up by Samuel Stokely. In 1814 or 1815 Patterson removed across the line into Ohio. Elias Jones bought 100 acres from Patterson at this time, lying along State Street from the Shenango to the State line, and extending north to the lands of Daniel Hull, who owned 200 acres. Jones farmed this land, first clearing off the timber with which it was covered. He erected a distillery near the site of the present Catholic Church soon after he came to the locality. After it decayed he tore it down. Jones had the first distillery, the first dry goods and grocery store, and kept the first hotel or inn in the place. He was also the first postmaster. The log building used for tavern, store and post-office stood near the site of Dr. Salem Heilman's dwelling, corner of Main and State Streets. His daughter, Mrs. Jane Dillinger, an octogenarian, is still living in Sharon.

Samuel Quinby, a farmer and miller, became the successor in 1808 of Benjamin Bentley, owning all the land now occupied by the Stewart Iron Works, upon which the grist and saw-mill stood. He sold the property to Conrad G. Carver, who ran the mill for many years. He reared ten children: Sarah (Reeves), Rebecca (Reno), Nancy (De Forest), Elizabeth (Budd), Julia (Porter), Terressa (Carver), Ephraim, Charles, Parks and Samuel. Mr. Quinby served in the Revolution, and was buried with military honors Septem- ber 10, 1842, the anniversary of Perry's victory.

Col. Henry Hoagland with his wife, Catherine, and five children, John, Samuel, Richard, Mary and Matilda, settled on the west side of the Shenango, about a mile above the town, in 1798. He came from Washington County. He was an active member of the Baptist Church, and was instrumental in establishing that denomination in Sharon. . He participated in the War of 1812, assisting at Erie in lifting the brig "Niagara" over the bar in 1813. His descendants became prominent citizens in the development of the county, and many of them reside in the vicinity of Sharon.

Daniel, Bashara and John Hull were among the early settlers near Sharon. Daniel's land lay west of the Shenango, and north of what is now State Street. His brothers located close to him, and all came as early as 1798 or 1799. Daniel and John died on their respective homesteads, while Bashara removed to Iowa.

Capt. John Elliott came shortly before the Hulls, and settled in the same neighborhood. His daughter, Patience, married John Hull. Capt. Elliott was a veteran of the Revolution.

At a later date than the foregoing came Abraham De Forest, a captain in

376

HISTORY OF MERCER COUNTY.

the Revolutionary War. He lived south of Sharon, and subsequently removed to Ohio. Emanuel Hoover lived near De Forest. South of De Forest lived Benjamin Haywood, Sr., on the farm now owned by John J. Spearman. He committed suicide. George McCleery, father of Joseph McCleery, still a resident of Sharon, owned 400 acres north of State Street, on the hill. His tract lay east of the residence of Thomas J. Porter. Opposite the McCleery farm lay the farm of Samuel Stambaugh, some 350 acres.

In April, 1825, Thomas J. Porter removed from Mercer to Sharon, where he became prominent in the development of the place. He is still a resident of Sharon, and is in his eighty-eighth year. He erected the third tavern in the place, the second having been kept by Daniel Budd in his farm house on the east side of the Shenango. Porter's building was a two-story frame, about 20x60, and stood on the site of the present Carver House. It was built in 1831. It contained a store-room and a post-office, both under the manage- ment of Mr. Porter. He sold it to Henry Barnhart, who continued to run the store and tavern for a time. The building was finally burned down and replaced by the Carver House.

As already stated, Elias Jones kept the first grocery and dry goods store, the first hotel, and was the first distiller and postmaster. Soon afterward Dr. Ephraim Quinby and Lewis Reno conducted a store in a log house which stood on the triangle now occupied by the residence of B. H Henderson and the railroads, south of State Street.
