This frontier was the wilderness extending north from the set- tlement at Delaware, Ohio. The time referred to here includes the years from 1800 to 1860. Our frontier is roughly bounded on the west by the Olentangy and Whetstone rivers. The Greenville Treaty Line is the north boun- dary, which includes parts of what are now Marion and Morrow counties. The east boundary of our frontier is the east branch of Alum Creek. The picture on the cover is our "frontiersman" William Sharp. William Sharp's story is quoted in part from the Delaware County 1880 History. The topography presentation is a very excellent, well researched article by Stanley Baker. This article is separately available in its' en- tirety. Also included are notes taken by Genevieve Cole from a seminar at Defiance College in 1975. The story includes many word-of-mouth stories that have never been written. An effort has been made to include the names of the first settlers. Finally, it is explained how the town of Ashley was born at the end of the first fifty years. The principal cause was the new railroad. Ashley as a town was the new and exciting focal point of the surroun- ding area. This community contributed to most of the population and business of the new town in a radius of at least ten miles. We wish to state the following, although it is out of context in time. It has never been recorded elsewhere. Arlington Cline was an enthusiastic historian of the Ashley com- munity. George Watson was Alum Creek's replica of Henry Thoreau. Two others should be mentioned: George Thurston and Eddie Weiser. These men have written, or preserved our local history. They deserve honorable mention, although they lived since the Civil War, and therefore are not included in the Story. The Quaker community has been ably recorded elsewhere by Mordecai Benedict and Lawrence Westbrook. 3 Title A name given to the resource Our Frontier 1800-1860 and the Birth of Our Town of Ashley 1849 (p. 4) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/c864c798436fccf413800c1e1bc8045c.jpg 41156782f384e4784055c298891fdd8d Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 6] [corresponds to page 5 of Our Frontier 1800-1860] THE TOPOGRAPHY OF THE ASHLEY, OHIO AREA AND ITS IMPACT ON EARLY SETTLEMENT The development of the Ashley, Ohio area can best be un- derstood by the study of the topography and its interrelated en- vironment. Physical benefits and physical limitations can be seen which directly affect the way human populations have settled the area. The topography has affected the historical human population as well as the prehistoric population. The glacier receded or melted northward at an even rate depositing the rock called till. The till was evenly deposited in a level surface called a ground morraine. The till, being very porous, filled with water after the recession of the glacier. The filling continued until a continuous subsurface watertable developed. Since the character of the ground morraine is slightly rolling, natural lakes and marshes formed in the low areas. The nature of the till and drainage system has established a pattern in the Ashley, Ohio area. The majority of the area was poorly drained with a shallow watertable. Marshy areas were interceded with occasional rises. The drainage pattern since the initial formation changed little until the 1840's. Before this time the settlement pattern was dictated by this topography. The settlement of the first whites from 1800 to 1840 resembles the pattern of the Indians before them. The Whites used the rivers and the adjacent trails for transportation that had been used by the Indian for centuries. The well drained bluff areas were the first lands sold and cabin sites were superimposed on Indian sites. Whites and Indians alike drank from the same springs. Another important reason for settlement near the streams was the use of the flowing water as a source of power. Soon the land along the rivers was sold, and the poorly drained interior was sold, clearing began and cabins were built on the highest 5 Title A name given to the resource Our Frontier 1800-1860 and the Birth of Our Town of Ashley 1849 (p. 6) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/33cc143303341e39fc6538a0abf38377.jpg f55d36e1ded052f7cca02cf70582b7f4 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Around 1840 the forests were largely beginning to be cleared and the land began to receive direct radiation from the sun which caused increased evaporation. The watertable began to decline from this, and as a result of increased run-off, pumpage of wells, drainage of tiles and open ditches. The physical conditions of the topography, its drainage and the forest tended to slow the development of the area away from the major streams. There was a need for this land, however, and it was soon converted into useful and productive land. The railroad, which was planned and built about 1850, found the topography generally free from obstacles except for an occasional marshy area. The railroad crossed a frontier road that ran between Norton, Ohio and Mount Vernon, Ohio. Ashley was soon established as a local com- mercial center.

Description An account of the resource [page 8] [corresponds to page 7 of Our Frontier 1800-1860] 1800 One of the first settlers in the area was William Sharp, who is pictured on the front cover. William Sharp was born in Virginia. He came with his father to Marietta, Ohio in the very early part of 1800. When William was twenty-one his father bought him a large number of medical books (which were then considered authoritative) hoping his son would be a doctor. William instead chose the woods. Shouldering his rifle he headed for Indian country. In the course of the next several months he lived on the game he shot. In 1809 he found himself near Norton. He remained there for three or four years, and then joined the army and headed north to Sandusky. In 1814, after the war, he married Sarah Boyd, the adopted daughter of John Duncan. He built a cabin for his wife, and though attached to her, he could not resist the temptation of going into the woods on a hunt,-- and often would be gone for weeks. He was a good provider, and had the reputation of being the greatest "bee-hunter" in the vicinity. He also knew the Indian languages well. He finally settled down and bought sixy acres from Joseph Cole. Some of his relatives visited him from Marietta, and brought his medical books. He now read them and started a practice for which he refused pay. (He died in 1861 and is buried in Marlboro Cemetery. He left numerous descendants in Ashley and the surrounding vicinity.) At about the same time as Sharp arrived in Norton, Henry Foust arrived and married May Olds. Her father, Confort, was probably the first settler in the area being near Windsors Corners. Others gradually began to move in; there were still many Indians to be found in our frontier territory. (These notes from the seminar at Defiance College in 1975 give us some perspective on the very early times.) There was a Jesuit mission at Auglaize as early as 1639. The Jesuits were in contact with roving bands of Indians and important tribes. 7 Title A name given to the resource Our Frontier 1800-1860 and the Birth of Our Town of Ashley 1849 (p. 8) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/9b54c1ff7373727de93300271c2f800d.jpg 6a1cdb5090c444e9f271303bf9827ca6 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 9] [corresponds to page 8 of Our Frontier 1800-1860] In support of this, silver crosses have been found buried in Ohio, apparently given to the Indians by Jesuit priests. (This information was contributed by Prof. R. Baby.) Silver crosses have also been found on a hill just south of Nor- ton, less than a hundred years ago. (This information was contributed by Mrs. Buck.) By the late 1600's the Indians in what is now Ohio had been greatly decimated by tribal warfare. In the early 1700's Shawnees, Delawares, Miamis and Wyandotts were here in Ohio in great numbers. They were here as hunters and trappers, and also participating in violent warfare - especially in the Revolution, and to some extent as late as the War of 1812. The northern border of Delaware County was originally the Greenville Treaty Line. This treaty was signed in the summer of 1795 and carried a little more respect than most of the previous Indian treaties. In early 1800, the revolution was concluded (or so they thought). The white settlers were coming! The government encouraged it. Some settlers came as missionaries to save the Savage Souls, but more white people were just land hungry. They justified themselves (if they thought of it) that the Indians were letting the land go to waste. There were some rich land speculators, but very many people were poor and hungry. Some young couples were braving the wilder- ness to rear their young families in a "new world of freedom." Howes' History of Ohio says that "the trees in this country were often a hundred and fifty feet tall. Sixty feet to the first limb." (That seems impossible!) At this time few knew what a tornado was! The storms seldom penetrated the thick and heavy trees. These enormous trees has huge root systems and with the deep bed of humus that covered the forest floor, the water was held like a great sponge, and only drained off gradually. There were very few floods. In the years preceding the white people the Indians hadn't made much headway getting the trees whittled off for their corn patches. (Although they did have some large corn patches in what is now the City of Delaware.) Then the ambitious white men tackled the job - you can see for yourself what they have accomplished. The first cabins were on Indian trails close to rivers and streams. Many were small trails. A large trail of importance was one that followed the east bank of the Olentangy north of Delaware and "forded" the Whetstone just 8 Title A name given to the resource Our Frontier 1800-1860 and the Birth of Our Town of Ashley 1849 (p. 9) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/e03f50db97e4766414486037188e0f6a.jpg 30e52bf3c10b712d50445a9ecdaa16c3 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

From there the trail went to Clariden, a big Indian camp. (This information was contributed by B. Wallace.) A Foust family were Squatters for a time in the forks of the rivers. A Worline family had a cabin south of the forks on the east bank. (This information was contributed by the Foust family.) A very important Wyandott trail came to Marietta through Peru township (now Morrow County) to Upper Sandusky. (This in- formation was contributed by L. Westbrook.) There were bear, deer, wildcats, wolves, foxes, muskrat, weasel, milk, beaver, skunks, squirrels, and raccoons. The last two destroyed much precious food for early settlers. Roving Indians often helped themselves to food at cabins. (An Indian notion that food was for the hungry.) They were quite often drunk on white man's whiskey, after trading with white men. Some Indians were very friendly and often visitors at cabins. The children frequently played together although some women seemed hysterically afraid of them. One white boy was visiting a camp on what was later the Upper Panhandle road. He had a great time, and stayed for supper. He thought the meal was delicious, and wanted more. Then he looked in the kettle where [image of powder horn] Powder horn now owned by descendant James Roush and handed down in the McClish family. 9 Title A name given to the resource Our Frontier 1800-1860 and the Birth of Our Town of Ashley 1849 (p. 10) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/24785478505e9f6eef55f2190d25ea81.jpg 648cc48e972d8df8de2df1c9e3a239a6 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Later, with maturity, he realized that food is food, whether it be brains or hind legs. The wilderness had a certain toughening effect. Then there was the time the runner came through warning the people, and telling of the uproar at Fort Morrow. A Dix woman jum- ped on a mule and raced to where the men were clearing trees, screaming, "I can hear the Indians murdering over in Kingston right now!" With that she just threw away the tin coffee pot that she had been carrying! (This story was told by Joe G. Main.) The Cole woman up the river from Dixs reacted to the news by throwing all the valuables (iron kettle, silver and such) in the swamp. These things were never recovered and are in the bottom of what is now called Cap Cole Bay. She then threw the young ones in the covered wagon and "lit out" for Franklinton. (Fortunately it was just a scare.) A woman was working with a wooden bucket of lye water in the doorway of a cabin. (This cabin was on the west bank of Sharp's Run or Indian Run.) She was startled by the sudden appearance of an In- dian. She simply threw the lye water in his face. (This story was told by the woman's great-granddaughter Minnie G.) Then there was William Drake and his wife and family. (A small book could be written about them.) When Drake and one son "Riar" arrived at Norton (which at that time consisted of one cabin and one man named Reed), it finally "soaked through" to Drake that this was what the land agent Kilbourne had described as "A veritable Heaven on Earth!" He did some fine cussing! Drake then said if Norton was Kilbourne's idea of Heaven, he'd hate to know what his idea of Hell would be! (Drake had been written about in Delaware, Marion and Morrow County Histories. His tombstone is still standing today in a small cemetery. The south fence of the cemetery is on the old Greenville Treaty Line.) In the Stanton Town cemetery is a tombstone in memory of Mary Eaton Thatcher. When Mary was eight years old she was captured by Indians. She lived with them four years and was released. Two boys in their early teens were coming on foot over an Indian trail, headed west. It turned cold suddenly, with a blizzard. They had about given up and were expecting to freeze to death! Some Indians caught up with them just in time, showing them how to make a snow house. The house had a breathing hole and with their backs together, 10 Title A name given to the resource Our Frontier 1800-1860 and the Birth of Our Town of Ashley 1849 (p. 11) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/4da87dc61f7518ef64bea96ea5589865.jpg 61b01e26a4e8287952583a16b991ef87 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

When the blizzard was over and the wind died down, they were as good as ever. These boys' last name was Wheeler. (This story was told by a descendant in South Woodbury.) A house just east of South Woodbury is said to have been built by one of Cornwallis' officers after the Revolution. South of the Sherwood road is a very thick woods, with a wet spot in the center between two high spots. It was once called the Jim- mie Martin woods. Quincy Main tells the story passed down in the family that this woods had been one of the last Indian camps. When the Indians knew that they had to leave, they told their white neighbors, "The white men will never have our beautiful spring!" There has been no spring since, just a very wet spot in the ground. For many years there was a most peculiar tree west of the Olen- tangy. Its trunk, roots, and limbs had large wart-like growths. It was said that an Indian warrior caught his sweetheart with a white man. He killed them both and buried them at the roots of this tree. (This story was in a school history supplement fifty years ago.) (This story was told by Warren and Leonard.) In Andrew Jackson's time (1829-1837) Congress suddenly em- powered the State Militia to round up all Indians, put them on flat boats on the Ohio river, and head them for reservations in Oklahoma. The Indians were crushed! (There weren't too many left in this vicinity.) One Indian at the camp north of Delaware said he would not go! He hid on what was later called the Broom Corn Farm. In the evening, as the sun was setting, he came out of hiding to get a drink of water. The place was where stepping stones crossed the Olentangy. A white man and his son were watching. They shot and killed the Indian, and buried him. More than a hundred years later a descendant of the white man confessed to a stranger that the murder had haunted the family all through the years. Now he had to tell someone. He, himself, was the last of the family and now an old man. (This story was told to an OWU professor.) An Indian squaw brought the Weiser family a beautiful covered basket. The squaw explained it was to thank them for being so good and kind to her people. This was at the time the Indians were forced to leave.

At present it is on display as a loan to the Johnson House at Piqua.) There were other stories of how the Indians liked to come back to Sharp's Run or Indian Run to boil down the maple sugar water in the spring. Sharp's Run or Indian Run originates on the southwest part of the land that is now Ashley. It emptied into the Olentangy at the foot of the hill at the Old Marlboro Cemetery. This stream was once fed by many springs. At one swampy place you could see the "fox fire" when conditions were just right and your eyesight was good. There was also the story of a Wyandott Chief Scionto that often came back to the Marlboro vicinity as late as 1820. He was very friendly with the white people. In the middle of the 1830's the Indians were all gone from Delaware County - only once in a while did a stray one appear. Harrison's Trail (war road of 1812) was west of the Olentangy, but east of what is now Route 23. On the east side of the river the Mansfield-Delaware road was surveyed in 1814. It was a toll road. (Many roads and Indian trails overlapped.) This road came from Mansfield, through Westfield, Windsors Corners, Marlboro to Delaware. To the east running north and south was the first road built by the state in 1822. It was very important, as it was the principle means of moving grain and livestock to eastern markets by way of Lake Erie. It was also called the Worthington-New Haven road. There was an early road from Mt. Vernon through South Wood- bury, Westfield to Norton. Norton was laid out as a town two years before Delaware. At first it seemed to have fine prospects. It was close to Fort Morrow. This vicinity had considerable excitement at the beginning of the War of 1812. Captain Drake was in charge of a group of men that had gathered north of Waldo to ward off the possible approach of Indians from the north, in the beginning of the War of 1812. While Drake was absent, the men went to sleep around the camp- fire without posting a guard. When he came back and saw the lack of discipline, he yelled "In- dians." The men, having had no previous military experience, panicked. The panic spread to most of the surrounding communities. 13 Title A name given to the resource Our Frontier 1800-1860 and the Birth of Our Town of Ashley 1849 (p. 14) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/3cd4c9c50d932003f0eb7de86d0fd2c8.jpg 297222d0bf1708309c6e966bcbbf472f Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

In this time, he befuddled a lot of people in- cluding Indians. In the end he wound up befuddled himself. (This in- formation was gained from the Troy Township trustees book and Delaware County 1880 History.) The town of Kilbourne did well on the state road. It had been named Eden at first and settled first by Presbyterians. In the old cemetery on the banks of Alum Creek are many Jones and their relatives. Their ancestor Rev. Jones, a friend of George Washington, had given his church as a hospital during the terrible winter at Valley Forge. His descendants were given a land grant. (Some of these descendants include McCurdys, Livingstons, Richards, Thurstons, Porters, Hersherys and others. There were also Leonards, one branch of which were direct descendants of the Washington family.) Going north on Alum Creek were Longwells, Scotts, Potter, Riley, Whipple, Fleming, Randolphs, and Thrall. Further north on the state road was the large Quaker settlement from Peru, New York. There were nineteen families, headed by the Benedicts. 15 Title A name given to the resource Our Frontier 1800-1860 and the Birth of Our Town of Ashley 1849 (p. 16) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/9a8decfccd74be037b36cd18e56e95f7.jpg e8234e449f56b3993ecdc61217f9929d Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 17] [corresponds to page 16 of Our Frontier 1800-1860] North of that was South Woodbury, mainly Methodist. (This town was later very important in the Underground railroad.) West of Woodbury was Westfield, a typical frontier town, also crossed by the Mansfield-Delaware Road. Westfield was wild and wooley! Saloons, stage coaches and maybe horse thieves! It was said there was a hanging tree just south of town. About this time the Methodists moved in above a saloon, and calmed the whole town down! From there on it was respectable! Fort Morrow, Norton and Marlboro were Primitive Baptists (Hard-Shelled) from Virginia. These included the Mains, Dixs, Coles, Wyatts, Coldrens, Brundiges, Martins, Bishops, Currans, Drakes, Kings, Reeds, Worlines, Duncans, Olds, Winsors, and Fousts. These people represent the very early years. There were many additional comings and goings. Many died on the trail. The first buried at Marlboro was a little girl. Her family had stopped in a wagon at the big spring and asked for help. (This story was told by H. Main.) The second burial was a woman that had died west of there. She was buried in a hollowed-out log. The folks scarcely "had a breather" before something else happened. (The following is part of an article that was printed in the Columbus Dispatch Sunday Magazine.) "January and February of 1816 was warm and spring-like. March was cold and stormy. Vegetation had gotten well along in April when real winter set in. Sleet and snow fell seven days in May. In June there was either frost or snow every night but three. The snow was five inches deep in New York and ten inches to three feet in Vermont and Maine. July was cold and frosty. August was still worse, ice formed nearly an inch in thickness, and killed all vegetation in the United States and Europe. In the spring of 1817 - corn from 1815 sold for from five to ten dollars a bushel." This article explains the story told to us by Ralph (Irish) Thomas of Ashley. Irish said that his grandfather Joseph Cole, Jr. told him that his father Joseph Cole, Sr. (from Virginia) had mortgaged his large farm to "grub stake" the people that were coming through Marlboro in covered wagons at this time. The people were eating their precious seed corn! The children were starving and sick! The people in wagon after wagon begging for help! (He and his family had come in 1808 and he was one of the few that knew where to find food to buy.) 16 Title A name given to the resource Our Frontier 1800-1860 and the Birth of Our Town of Ashley 1849 (p. 17) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/0d598e84df6eb52130f7fcb63f2499e3.jpg b651cba7c86e2700031685bbf30a410d Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 18] [corresponds to page 17 of Our Frontier 1800-1860] Joseph Cole, Sr. mortgaged his large farm and did not get the mortgage paid off in his life time. Joseph Cole, Jr. (the youngest son) had to pay it off - and "griped" about it. But then he, himself, hadn't been hungry, as he was born in 1817. This disagreeable situation he didn't mention in the 1880 History. Joseph, Jr. was, by that time, a wealthy man. Many of the bad things were not put down in the histories - terrible cold winters, hot dry summers (no crops), the panics or epidemics, especially cholera. There were also money panics - there was very little money. Everything was bartered or traded. Many people that had been affluent were desperate and on the townships for help. There were lots of ups and downs. When these earliest families arrived they lived much like the Indians. Some of the people were newly arrived from Europe and towns in the East. Most of them knew very little or nothing about the wilderness. In the first days, there would be a makeshift cabin (or a lean-to) with a mud and stick chimney. There were seldom windows at first. The door was hides stretched across the opening. There were dirt floors with branches to sleep on in a corner. They made slab tables and benches as soon as they could as the men had to get out, and hunt game nearly every day. The fireplace had a crane or hook to hang an iron or copper kettle from. They used animal hides in a number of ways (and of course hides had to be worked on to be cured and pliable.) Deer, bear and turkey meat was "jerked" and hung up to dry. Salt was expensive and important to "cure" the meat. They also boiled hominy (corn that had been soaked in lye water, that had been made from wood ashes.) They also had corn meal mush, wild honey and as soon as they could whittle out some wooden buckets, they had maple syrup. They had no way to can anything as we know it today. They dried most everything or put it down in salt brine in wooden kegs or stonejars from Pennsylvania. The first beds were rope or leather strips to hold hides and later straw ticks, and feather ticks. It was hard to protect domestic animals,-- sheep for wool were important, and they raised flax for linen. "Linsey woolsey" was some of the first cloth woven on hand made looms. It was warm, but "it- chy". They used walnut and poke berries for color later, when "they got fancy". 17 Title A name given to the resource Our Frontier 1800-1860 and the Birth of Our Town of Ashley 1849 (p. 18) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/6b6dc5dcd183fa4247afcbcb254d5e28.jpg c0f6b317f19ec1934bca6686a3eb096d Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Some had brought along a plant called Bouncing Bet that they used to perfume the soap. When it came to baths the few who took them were "scarce as hen teeth!" Most folks smelled pretty "gamey", but people got used to it - it only seemed natural. They tried to build their cabins near a spring or creek, if not they had to dig a well. They then had to pull the water up in a bucket till someone made a windlass. Of course, in time there was spinning and weaving and candle making. Everything had to be done by hand. First they raised flax, which had to be pounded with a flail. Wheat was cut with a scythe and cradle. (The first years they had to walk or ride a horse as far as Chillicothe or Zanesville for a sack of wheat flour.) They started to build mills as soon as possible. Wheat had to be thrashed by hand, too. A knife was a necessity of life. Indians had flint blades. Right with the knife was the tinder box, a tin box with tinder, flint and steele. (There were no matches or paper to start a fire with in those days.) Just imagine the wolves on a cold winter night! The sound of their howling getting closer and closer! No one, and we mean no one would be foolish enough to let the fire in the fireplace go out. Still, that very thing happened many times in this country in early days. The folks just prayed the mud and stick chimneys wouldn't cave in a heavy snow storm and put the fire out. Many people knew little of the sounds of the woods. Some must have been "scared out of their wits!" For instance, the horrible sounds of an old woods owl could make if you stumbled on one in the dark! You would be apt to think it was the Devil himself! People went to bed early and got up early (they went by sun- time.) 18 Title A name given to the resource Our Frontier 1800-1860 and the Birth of Our Town of Ashley 1849 (p. 19) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/ac03d97c5f1ec5028c444ba29753dcc8.jpg 0660add26e2add4f50806ade2dea2879 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

An eerie sound that hung in the air like smoke. Fascinating! Un- forgettable! There were other things, like the dewy fragrance of a blackberry thicket as the sun came up! In the beautiful autumn the forest was composed of many groves of hickory and walnut trees. The children had a great time racing the squirrels in gathering the nuts. In later, more affluent years, the young people skating on the frozen river in the moonlight, with the hoar frost changing everything to diamonds. The people found the good things as well as the bad. They seldom had time to feel sorry for themselves. At first there were no doctors. People doctored themselves with home remedies. Roots, herbs, barks and berries, skunk grease, goose grease, sheep nanny pills - or just anything - depending on how desperate they were. They were afraid of the damp air of the swamp at night. They considered flies and mosquitoes harmless - just a nuisance. They hadn't the slightest idea of sanitation and contaminated water. There was a high percent of deaths of women in childbirth, and also a very high death rate of babies, especially those in their second summer. Salt and a red hot poker cauterized wounds if you would face it. Whiskey was used as a pain killer, and a remedy for practically everything. If there was a mangled foot, it was either chop it off with an ax or face gangrene. There was not much of survival either way. The epidemics of cholera, small pox, diptheria, grey and bloody flux, typhoid, and malaria fevers were prevalent. A great many died of tuberculosis (consumption), pneumonia, quinsy, rabies, scrofula, and ague. Few lived to a ripe old age.

(Hundreds of In- dians and whites were buried together unknowingly.) Sometimes there would be a preacher, sometimes not. A neigh- bor might have a Bible and could read. At least they did the best they could. Now things change at a terrific rate - not so in the old days. The first churchces and schools began in someone's cabin home, but not until there were sufficient people in a community. At first the cabins were often miles apart. If you knew how to read, write, and cipher you were a "right smart feller." The roads were mud or corduroy, the last consisting of logs laid side by side. Preachers often performed ceremonies long after the event. A couple decided to get married! A person died! A preacher might not get around for six months in the very early days. Life and death couldn't be postponed! The folks just did the best they could. [image of Cole House] The Cole house that was in the reservoir area. Built around the time of the War of 1812.

As soon as there were any number, the people sang and danced and had a high old time. Barn raisings, corn huskings, spelling, singing, and all sorts of "bees" took place. The preachers were busy - the Hard Shelled Baptists cried, the Methodists shouted, the Quakers and Presbyterians were more dignified. The people really "turned on" for a wedding and a belling. The same with a funeral - everyone went. Skating parties, sled parties, taffy pulls, just anything for a good time. The folks made the most of everything, emotional or material. There were also terriffic knock down, drag out fights at election time, or anywhere there was a gathering of men. Wooden plows were used at first, and other wooden tools. As time passed, the stagecoach and wagons brought in new things from the east, and the pack peddler was a "welcome sight!", especially to the women. They carried pins, needles, thread, thimbles, combs, hooks and eyes, awls, razors, pen knives and pens, buttons, steel rimmed glasses and button hooks for "store bought shoes."

The swamp was settled last - first here and there on the high ground, as it was so hard to drain. Two schools in the swamp were named "Swamp Angel" and "Mudtown". There was also the "Elm Valley" further south. The swamp people didn't have large farms. The orginal owners were often absentee owners. Many of the people must have been squatters on the small tracts of land. Some of the names were Smith, Gale, Starisbury, Legg, Calkins, Glenn, Thomas, Thornman, Wells, Sherman, Brown, Wheeler, Williams, Biggs, Cackler, Slawson, Whipple, McClish, and Kyrk. The small farmers were usually poor, but they had good times. They were the best fisherman, hunters, and trappers. Last, but not least - they were the best fiddlers for the "hoe downs", but evidently not affluent enough to be written up in the County Histories. Preacher Gavitt (in the to be Ashley vicinity) was busy saving souls, but the "pesky corn squeezers" (lots of folks had stills) often put the "converts on the skids". Then they had to be saved all over again at the next camp meeting. Preacher Gavitt had his trials. One hot Sunday, during an exor- tation, he reached in his back pocket beneath his long coat tails and whipped out his bandana handkerchief. A deck of cards sailed out over the congregation. Methodists of that time considered cards, whiskey, and dancing to be the inventions of the Devil. The Devil in this case was the preachers son Cobb. 23 Title A name given to the resource Our Frontier 1800-1860 and the Birth of Our Town of Ashley 1849 (p. 24) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/76714694fa90427a9ed7db3b35ff4847.jpg 94ab6666988b5681f15bd9a9775aa4b5 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

There was enough demand that the County Commissioners built an infirmary in 1851. (This was to be the only hospital or social agency in Delaware County for the next fifty years.) These first fifty years there had been many changes - not swiftly, but the frontier was nearly gone. News of the nation filtered in gradually, by "stage" and "mail", and the people coming and going brought news.

Surveying and bickering went on for some time. There were several suggested routes. Then it was finally settled. (There are many discrepancies in reports of these early days.) The town where the mud road went west to Norton was to be called Oxford. Barton and Slack laid out lots from their land. Speculators arrived and they also laid out lots. Then they changed the name to Ashley (named for a popular surveyor). Many came and departed in a short time! [image of train] First train to arrive in Ashley. (Courtesy of A.

Description An account of the resource [page 27] [corresponds to page 26 of Our Frontier 1800-1860] It was a difficult job to lay a railroad bed through the swamp. The ties were cut right out of the woods. Cabins were built along the right of way for the workers. The engines were wood burning and had to stop frequently and take on wood and water. North of Ashley the engines sank in the swamp five times. Finally they got on the road bed to hold. It had delayed the "Great Day". The Great Day finally arrived. The finished road from Cleveland was all but joined to the finished road from Columbus and Cin- cinnati. This joining was two miles south of Ashley on what was the Barton or Shults farm. Very important officials came from both directions. Two big engines the folks hadn't seen before! Folks came out of the woods for miles to "see the sight!" The finish of the ceremony after a lot of fancy talking was the beautiful gold spike driven in the all important last tie. (This gold spike was discreetly removed before sundown and went back with the important officials. Many eyes observed it!) Life was never the same in this neck of the woods after that won- derful day. Folks just told each other about it over and over again. As previously stated lots had been laid out in the new town. Houses and streets were going up fast. The sidewalks were plank. The streets were mud or dust, depending on the weather. Some of the first lots in Ashley were laid out in June 1849. Lewis Purmont started the first store in 1850 on a Shoemaker farm. In the same year Aloy Patee built the Ashley Hotel. He and Milton Smith built the first saw mill on the railroad grounds in 1850. McMaster, Riley and Potter erected a grain warehouse before 1853. A petition to incorporate was signed by fifty residents and ap- proved in June 1855. James Culbertson was first mayor in August of 1855 when first election was held. Ashley was well on its way to becoming an im- portant, busy city. Culture, too, was arriving fast with the first locomotives and the telegraph. "Ashley was now in touch with the world!" Ladies daintily walked the plank sidewalks, carefully holding their swaying hoop skirts. Gentlemen gallantly stepped off in the mud to let the ladies pass. In doing so, they invariably tipped their plug hats. Now, knowing exactly how to tip your hat was a work of art. First a gentleman put his heels together and slowly bowed from the waist, holding his left hand slightly behind him, and with his right hand, he then with a graceful flourish removed his hat, letting it rest momentarily on his 26 Title A name given to the resource Our Frontier 1800-1860 and the Birth of Our Town of Ashley 1849 (p. 27) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/6d8ae8e49f20136a803063b43b8d8363.jpg 1d79bc42145be92f4c3e07ddf4ec0e1e Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

He then stood erect, and placed his hat back on his head slowly. A most engaging smile accompanied the performance. It was irresistible! No woman could encounter this situation without palpitations of the heart! (One old boy over in Kingston Township is still adept at this elegant gesture, though he has remained free from entanglements.) The story of railroad was told to us by Dr. Dennis Welsh. For other information on the railroad see the Delaware County 1880 History. Well, Ashley was now established as an "up and coming" town, no doubt of it! Some folks were already "putting on airs!" The young people were happy with dances and parties and all the new things! But some of the older folks were horrified by the black cloud on the horizon. It could only mean one thing - "War!" The Civil War was approaching fast. The ones that were grieved the most were the folks from Virginia. Most of the older ones never lived to see it through. It broke their hearts. They simply died with the pain of it. 27 Title A name given to the resource Our Frontier 1800-1860 and the Birth of Our Town of Ashley 1849 (p. 28) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/83895159d010b37d744718040a8b2e7c.jpg c7abf53debf633cd766b9f9d169e8ffc Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

She said her grandmother had been scalped by the Indians. She survived, but had to wear a soft cloth cap tied under her chin the rest of her life. She lived to a ripe old age and didn't suffer too much discomfort, except when the weather changed. (Having been peeled like that, so to speak, you might say it was no wonder.) Over a long period of time, Adeline and her daughter Charlotte, and Ann Amith lived in a very small house on the edge of the swamp. There once had been a family bible with all the family names in it. There were two lusterware pitchers, one quite large, and the other small, and a folding spoon-folk combination carried in the French and Indian Wars by some of the men in the family long ago. They are all lost now, except the little lusterware pitcher. The pitcher now resides in the Delaware County Museum.

Description An account of the resource [page 30] [corresponds to page 29 of Our Frontier 1800-1860] This is a typical story of the early ones told when men got together and tried to out do each other. This story is of a man that had hunted all day for game. He had shot at some from a distance, and missed. It was nearly dark and he was just cleaning his muzzle-loader with the ramrod. Suddenly, he saw a wild turkey on a limb protruding straight out from a tree toward him. He pulled up his gun and shot, forgetting the ramrod. He went over to pick up the turkey, and found eleven turkeys strung on the ramrod, every last one of them shot through the throat! (They had been sitting in a row on the limb.) That's just a sample of what great hunters the old timers were (or you might say something else.) It was something to hear the stories told in the old country stores. The Marion County 1885 History has some of the best. The Morrow County 1880 History is also very good. A person can nearly smell the jerked turkey and jerked venison along with the wood smoke from the fireplaces. The Delaware County 1880 History has some good stories about your kin folks if they have been around here that long. (But we have had a lot of good people coming in all through the years.

(Something that was better than themselves.) It was something to "look up to." The poorest people were proud, and grateful - they wouldn't ac- cept something for nothing. There were few men that didn't aim to keep their "word good." That way you could look your neighbors in the eye. The early settlers were exceptionally strong minded human beings as a whole, or they wouldn't have had the intestinal fortitude (guts, in other words) to have faced the wilderness. But, they were human and as soon as they had time from their work to speculate they immediately got into various illicit oc- cupations. Also what one person did, or did not do, was greatly enlarged upon by his neighbor's ingenious imaginations. I'll offer this one undercover story as an illustration. This very respectable man, having been duly married by preacher Gavitt, became apparently obsessed by the Biblical story of Abraham. He waited patiently - for awile, but his wife produced no son. "A man had to have a son to carry on for the future!" This man had an indomitable will, by his own admission. Result: the hired girl had a son at the Infirmary, which was duly adopted by he and his wife. It has gone down in The Delaware County History's Archives: "One son to hand the family name on to futurity." (We saw him years ago.) A veritable patriarch, he had a long snow-white beard, sitting in his phaeton with his horse plodding straight ahead. Today, one great-great-granddaughter has attained the highest position in her profession. This was due, no doubt, to her inherited "indomitable will." Preacher Gavitt married and buried a lot of people. One couple he married paid for the ceremony with a live goose. This is about another couple he married. After the ceremony the new husband stated that he had doubts if it was going to be worth anything and that he wasn't going to pay until he found out. The preacher received no pay. The first ordinance passed by the new town of Ashley was for the suppression of intemperance. 30 Title A name given to the resource Our Frontier 1800-1860 and the Birth of Our Town of Ashley 1849 (p. 31) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/18df9d7c59dda712818b52178a0d9f3e.jpg 9ff60dd41ca4ead40dbdd2d447089c00 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It has been remembered down through the years that they were advance scounts in the War of 1812. They had been sent ahead of the men that had camped at Battle Run. The unknown men had been captured by renegades. They had been mutilated, their hands cut off, and turned out in the wilderness to die. The ones that brought them to Fort Morrow knew who they were. The men that buried them promised each other never to tell. They kept that promise. (This story was told to me by J. Brundige.) John Grady, father of (Mamie) Mary Grady (Hospital) as a very old man, told how he remembered his father as one of the bosses when the Railroad was being built. He also said he had enjoyed "barn raisings". "This people had so much fun." Everyone was happy. When the men stopped to rest, they passed around the whiskey. Everyone drank, but no one was drunk, possibly because everyone was working so hard. The women got the meals. Isaac Hickson was fifteen years old at the time of the Civil War. He had just arrived from England. He remembered that he had been hired to take a wagon load of flax from Westfield to Delaware. He had to pass through Marlboro and had been surprised at the first brick house (Coles) that he had seen in this part of the country. "It wasn't a new house," he said. (It had been finished shortly after the War of 1812.) Later Isaac married a Commer girl from the Ashley vicinity. Kenneth Lea tells us that his grandfather Tommie Lea had lived just south of Ashley on the east side of the railroad track, and remembered the building of the railroad. He had the important job of cutting wood for the first wood- burning engines. (He later served in the Civil War.) Two Historical Facts no recorded elsewhere (Out of context. Inserted here, because there is no other record.) When Horseshoe Road was paved with gravel several years after the Civil War, the upper part came from at least ten large gravel mounds; Jacoby, Stratton, Wallace, Cole and Mains.

The boys were Frank Stratton, Ben Wallace, and Jonas Main. 31 Title A name given to the resource Our Frontier 1800-1860 and the Birth of Our Town of Ashley 1849 (p. 32) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/94eea6a3e15e5cdf15ddf1edd7f527d2.jpg c00288fbd6a6f02943f1139209c907df Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 33] [corresponds to page 33 of Our Frontier 1800-1860] AUTHOR'S COMMENT When Ashley and Leonardsburg were born approximately around 1850, the need was for expanding transportation. Ashley, which was on the railroad, took the place of Westfield on the stagecoach and wagon road, of the Mansfield-Delaware road. Leonardsburg or Eden Station took the place of Kilbourne or Old Eden on the stagecoach and wagon road - Worthington - Newhaven. This was a transition period desperately needed to get the farm products to the markets. There was little competition between the two railroad stations (only four miles apart). Both Ashley and Leonardsburg were swam- ped with business. On week days there was a constant stream of livestock, poultry, wagons of grain, foodstuffs such as butter, eggs, nuts, berries, fruit - both stations had all they could handle. This continued to, and included the First World War around 1920, or approximately seventy years. At this time there was another burst of expansion. The automobile had arrived, and roads had improved beyond the wildest dreams of any frontiersman. At this time schools were consolidated, and education was no doubt improved. The social life of the communities, though, was very nearly destroyed, and has not been replaced. Before this everyone in a community was acquainted with one another. Most everyone was like a relative. Now in spite of super communication, talking machines, radio, television and millions of analytical books, we don't seem to know anyone. Look at the super educated lsot people trying to find themselves, or a friend. Looks like it's about time for another explosion, this time in human understanding. We hope so. 32 Title A name given to the resource Our Frontier 1800-1860 and the Birth of Our Town of Ashley 1849 (p. 33) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/deb2e98a99347486746fe5644776a851.jpg ab352e48e7f5cf4d8a29edf4df4a933b Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

But, for lack of space, the next three monthly meetings were held at the Wesleyan Methodist Church and then moved to private homes of the members for a more informal atmosphere. Such meetings will continue throughout the Bicentennial Year of 1976. In November, 1974, the title "Ashley Bicentennial Group" was adopted, its purpose being to locally and appropriately observe our nation's Bicentennial, July 4, 1976. Dick Newman, of the Legion, was elected Chairman and Mar- jorie Lea, Progressive Mothers Club, elected Secretary-Treasurer. "Festival U.S.A." Chairman became Carl McCurdy, Farm Bureau, assisted by Dick Wilde, of the Legion. "Heritage '76" Chairman fell to Louise Zeigler, Fidelis Mothers Club, assisted by Juanita Newman, Ashley Book Club. "Horizons '76" Chairman became Dean Eckler, Masons, assisted by Bill Frey, of the Legion. At this time the undeclared motto of the group became, "to judge the success of Ashley's Bicentennial, NOT by the number of spectators, but rather by the number of par- ticipants." In February, 1975, the Group submitted to the American Revolutionary Bicentennial Administration (A.R.B.A.) Washington, D.C., an application for recognition as a "Bicentennial Community" and was so appointed in March '75 and also incorporated as a Non- Profit Organization by the Secretary of the State of Ohio the same month.

Description An account of the resource [page 2] [corresponds to page 2 of A Short History of Medicine and the Physicians Of Delaware County, Ohio] A Short History of Medicine and the Physicians Of Delaware County, Ohio M. S. CHERINGTON, M.D. The Author Dr. Cherington, Delaware, is a member of the staff of Jane M. Case Hospital. IT is not certainly known just who may have inhabited this area which now comprises Delaware County, Ohio, in the period before the Mound Builders, and they have left little to tell us of their civilization, especially in regard to sickness and their methods of treatment. The Indians followed the Mound Builders and we know that they had their Medicine Men who practiced a sort of psycho-therapy and combined it with use of massage, water treatment or cures, the use of herbs, berries, roots etc., that they, through the centuries perhaps had learned, gave benefit in some conditions, but why they knew not. Even the early settlers had at times found it necessary to seek their help. The Indians used the Mineral and the Sulphur Springs for treatment by drinking the water and they also used a sort of steam treatment from a pit contain- ing hot rocks that, then, had water slowly poured over them and covered by a teepee. Early Concern for Doctor The pioneer settlements of 150 to 200 years ago were usually made by one or more families, and in fairly well separated areas. The teacher, min- ister, lawyer, etc., were not much needed but many settlers were much concerned as to the availability of a doctor. When the Queen of Sheba, from Southern Arabia, came to visit King Solomon, she brought with her a physician, and the great medicinal agent, the Balm of Gilead. The piety, wisdom, glory and courtesy of Solomon greatly impressed her. Upon her return to her own country she sent, contrary to the laws of her land, the great medicinal tree so long known to her kingdom, 800 miles away, to this admired ruler, to be planted along the river Jordan. The tree grew, increased, and furnished medicine to Palestine. Jeremiah, 600 years after, and 600 years before the Christian era, said, "Is there no Balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there?" And so, one of the first queries of the emigrant is, Bibli- cally speaking, "Is there Balm in Gilead? Is there a physician there?" Or in other words, "Is there a doctor within reach?" Now "within reach" in this area sometimes meant a one to even four days' ride. As we will see later, such a one as Dr. Lamb often rode as far north as Portland, now Sandusky, and south to Chillicothe. The settlers of that early day merely asked if the person at hand was a doctor. They did not have to worry about having to select or get the services of one who came under a special type of practice or "ism." It was not until about 1824 that the first system presented itself. This was called the Thomsonian System, evolved by Samuel Thomson (1769-1843) who advocated that "heat was life and cold was death." He had prepared formulas from No. 1 to No. 6 to produce these results. Thus he steamed the patient outside and stimulated him inside with his No. 6 formula. Thomson's book of theories and instructions were sold to families as well as physicians. In a few years this system passed away but the steam- ing and bathing had made an impression which culminated in the erection of many large sanitar- iums in this and all lands. It is interesting to know also that one of the citizens of Delaware, a Mr. Horton Howard, bought the rights to Ohio and several Western and Southern states for the promulgation of this system and the sale of the books. Advocates of the next system to appear were the Uroscopists, in 1838, who thought the kidneys were the source of all our our ills. This, too, soon passed away but served a good purpose as it stimu- lated more thought and investigation on the part of the regular school. Schools of Other Systems I do not know when the Eclectic School of thought made its appearance here but it was not long afterwards. An Eclectic School or College was established at Worthington, in 1830. Dr. J. J. Steel was president and Dr. J. G. Jones was the dean. The latter was a partner of Dr. Case, the husband of Mrs. Jane M. Case who, through her will, provided money for the establishment of our Hospital. Also Dr. J. A. Little, a resident of our county, was associated with them for a while. He was a student and a teacher and later became a Presented before the Delaware County Historical Society April 27, 1959. 2 Title A name given to the resource A Short History of Medicine and the Physicians Of Delaware County, Ohio (p. 2) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/567b43d327d5d2b59baeba2bd887afa1.jpg 8d42ad3d3dcf7af8b46944cdbb0d4f8d Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

This College and system had a great influence in this area. Later it was moved to Cincinnati and called the Eclectic Medical College. Today there are none of such schools left. It was an expansion of the herb sys- tem and Indian medicine. The Homeopathic doctrine made its appearance in about 1850, and has had a representative in this county ever since. Today there remains only one such school, the Hahnemann Medical College in Philadelphia, and it teaches all regular school and modern doctrine in addition. Then the many specialty groups began to ap- pear and the masseurs and the osteopaths had be- come established. These last and their method, however, had been known to the Chinese, Hindus, and Brahmans long before the Christian era. Fi- nally, at the close of this era of change, we have the appearance and acceptance of the lady physi- cians, in 1840, who have played an increasingly important part up to the present time. It must be remembered also that the lone phy- sician of those early days, besides doing the work of a doctor and a surgeon, had to combine with it that of a dentist and druggist. He also was re- garded as the embodiment of learning generally, and held the respect of the people in all matters. In dealing with the History of Medicine in Delaware County and the individual sketches of the doctors who have served here we are greatly indebted to one man, Dr. Silas W. Fowler, who seemed to be of a literary nature, and what has been written through the years has been done by him. He was here as a young man, in 1880, and wrote the first account on this subject for the 1880 Delaware County History. Again, when Judge Lytle wrote the Centenary History, in 1908, he asked him to write that part and bring it up to date. Dr. Fowler published his own little book two years later, 1910, on The History of Medicine and Physicians of Delaware County, Ohio, at the solicitation of the County Medical Society and the Drake Memorial Association. As he stated, he could not have done this had it not been for the help of the older doctors in 1880, a few of whom went back 50 years to 1830 and practiced and mingled with those who preceeded them. Then again, after 28 years, Dr. Fowler repeated this same procedure. In his early days of practice he was intimately associated with the scholarly and renowned Dr. Ralph Hills, the son of Dr. James H. Hills who had settled in Delaware in 1822, and Drs. T. B. Williams, W. T. Constant, and John A. Little, who often met in the studio of Dr. Ralph Hills to listen to the stories of the pioneer, so graphically related by him, as well as to hear the history of those who came later. Before taking up the individual physicians I want to speak briefly of the Medical Society History. Medical Societies. It has been said that "associated action con- stitutes the mainspring--the controlling motive power of society." Thus it was with the pioneer practitioners of this county, who saw the extreme need for associated action. So in 1848 they set about to form a medical society. Those present were Drs. Ralph Hills, Abram Blymyer, J. M. Cherry, M. Gerhard and a few others whose names are lost. This was to be known as the Delaware County Medical Society. Dr. Hills was the presi- dent and Dr. Blymyer was vice-president. At this meeting Dr. Blymyer read a paper on "Milk Sickness and Its Treatment." Meetings were to be held every three months. During the years 1848, '49, and '50 they met fairly regularly. In 1851 new members were added and on the 15th of June, 1852, they made a permanent organization. Among the many articles in their constitution was one that declared that "no person could be admitted to membership who was not fully orthodox in his professional beliefs and practice." The society after a few years for some cause went to sleep, only to be revived again in 1868. After the Civil War new life seemed to be given to the society and the profession. The Ohio State Medical Society convened in Delaware in May, 1856, while Dr. Ralph Hills was the editor of the Medical Counsellor, the first weekly medical journal published in the West, and which he had established in 1854. At the reorganization of the Delaware County Medical Society in 1868 Dr. Blymer was elected president, Dr. P. Willis vice-president, Dr. E. H. Hyatt, secretary and Dr. J. M. Cherry, treasurer. Others present were Drs. T. B. Williams, W. T. Constant, William McIntyre, John A. Little, J. H. White, Henry Besse, Calvin Welch, John A. Carouthers, Joseph McCann, and A. E. West- brook. In 1869 Dr. Blymyer was reelected presi- dent and at the close of his term he gave a grant banquet to his colleagues. So far as we can learn Dr. Blymyer, in 1869, Dr. Dorrance E. Hughes, in 1907, and Dr. A. E. Westbrook, Ashley, were the only ones to remember the so- ciety with such honor. Harmony and good feeling prevailed for many years when some disturbing element put an end to it. Many reorganizations took place but did not last. After some 15 years of inactivity a new organization was effected and has continued in good form to this present time. In 1904, all schools of medicine of the county were invited 3 Title A name given to the resource A Short History of Medicine and the Physicians Of Delaware County, Ohio (p. 3) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/e0c49ec7cc405c7b22bd2c3ae97c0227.jpg 24d513a6832c518b62908491d7b83c26 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 4] [corresponds to page 4 of A Short History of Medicine and the Physicians Of Delaware County, Ohio] under the broad plan of "charity to all" to become active members. In the very early day of our pioneer settle- ments the few white doctors had little more to use in treating the diseases they were confronted with than did the Indians, and many times the Indians could do it better as they had had many years of experience with them. The most seri- ous diseases met with were: Malaria, which was largely controlled by the drainage of the swamps and the introduction of quinine; Remittant Fever was at first confused with malaria, but when the quinine failed to give relief they then resorted to calomel with some success; Cholera was met with several times as it swept up the river valley and into the tributaries; Milk Sickness--This was a new disease to the doctors and affected cattle as well as man. It was probably due to a poisonous weed and was transmitted to man through milk or from unclean vessels. In reviewing some of the physicians of the early days, we will take the first few in the order of their coming into the county. It is not known who might have taken care of the small number of people here from the time of the Carpenter settlement until the coming of Dr. Lamb. We do know that at Worthington Col. Kilbourn, though not a doctor, did do much to care for the sick of his settlement. First Physician in County DR. REUBEN LAMB, was the first physician in this area. Colonel James Kilbourne first came out to Worthington in 1802 and the next year saw six men settled there who were members of the Scioto Land Company. He may have been influential in persuading Moses Byxbe to come out and occupy his lands in what is now Delaware County. Dr. Lamb was born in Chenango County, New York, in 1774. He is said to have read medicine there before 1806 but we do not know if he had any formal medical education; however, he was well prepared. In the fall of 1805 he resolved to go to Pittsburgh and down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers to New Orleans. However, at Pittsburgh or on his way down the Ohio, he fell in with Col. Moses Byxbe who persuaded him to go with them to Worthington on the Scioto and on north to Berkshire on Alum Creek. Worthington was already a well known town and business center in this area. After a few months residence in Berkshire, Dr. Lamb moved to Worthington. The town had no physician and gave more promise for the future. Soon after locating there Dr. Lamb married Miss Mary Sloper, May 6, 1806. She lived only a short time and on September 13, 1807 he married her sister, Miss Cynthia Sloper. A few years after- ward they moved to Illinois, to the town of Galesburg. The doctor, we presume, practiced medicine there. After a few months his wife died of fever and he at once returned to Worthington. Helped Lay Out the Town In the spring of 1808 Dr. Lamb joined his old friend Col. Byxbe and they laid out the town of Delaware. There is great confusion about his marriages to whom and the dates. It is stated that he was married three times but it may have been more. The 1880 history gives it as four. His oldest son was born in 1807 and was long a resident of Delaware. The Lytle history states that Dr. Lamb first married a Miss Campbell of Worthington and that after her death he married a Miss Sloper of Delaware in 1815. They then moved to Illinois. The following year she died and he at once re- turned to Delaware, and soon after married Mrs. Platt, a sister of his last wife. Dr. Lamb was about 35 years old when he began his work in the county and because of ill health, in 1822 he moved to Missouri where his wife died in less than a year and he returned to Delaware, but did not resume an active practice as before. He died in 1850 and we are told that he left a widow--his fourth wife, at least. Dr. Lamb possessed great energy and mental force. He had the credit of being a man of ability and a most competent practitioner and surgeon, besides being very well liked. His energy and ability called him to many vocations. He assisted in organizing the county and town and in organizing and conducting various business enterprises. He was the first recorder of public records, and the first physician of the county and city, and was called upon to serve a wide area in that capacity. Col. Byxbe erected for him a log cabin, for a home and an office on the corner of East William and North Union Streets on the lot Byxbe owned and where later stood the residence of Hon. J. C. Evans and still later and today the Sarah Moore Home. He lived there briefly, perhaps only a year, when he built for himself on South Union Street and on the banks of the Delaware Run, a palatial cabin that stood on the ground in the rear of where Martin Miller's residence stood in 1880. Dr. Lamb worked hard during these first years and was called upon to ride great distances to attend the sick. He perhaps was subjected to 4 Title A name given to the resource A Short History of Medicine and the Physicians Of Delaware County, Ohio (p. 4) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/4fa0da9b31854b612c253518f08775a6.jpg 3e101a822a0cf22e78c16ac8f7bc3122 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

There were no roads, merely trails or "cutouts" and there were no bridges to cross the streams. Often he would be alone but at times would be accompanied by the messenger who had come for him. Surgical Instruments Scarce From physical disability he was required to quit this very active practice and confine his work to office practice, the preparation of medicines and consultation. The types of diseases that he met with in the West materially differed from those he met with in the East, his homeland. He was acknowledged by all to be skilled and successful in dealing with the diseases of the new country. He disliked surgery, but he was the only one who had any instruments in the county at that time. He freely loaned them to all prac- titioners who had occasion to use them. He was a man of few words and scorned and hated bluff and sham and ignorance in the profession. He was always sympathetic and affectionate, but quiet, socially and professionally. The old physicians were wont to tell a good story on Dr. Lamb. In his early practice, about 1818, a Mr. Shippy was taken sick at the home of a prominent citizen, Col. Sydney Moore. When the crisis of the disease had come, two watchers were engaged, but one failed to put in an ap- pearance. The doctor made his last visit for the night, gave careful and positive instructions to the nurse and left. The man seated himself comfortably before the fire to await the coming of his associate. Weary from his day's labor, he soon forgot his vigil and fell into a deep sleep. Together, the nurse and the patient traveled in the land of dreams. When the nurse awoke, the beautiful sunshine was streaming into the room. Frightened beyond measure and fearing lest the patient be dead from neglect, he walked silently to the bed. To his great amazement and joy, the patient turned over, rubbed his eyes, strethed his arms, and was equally surprised to learn that it was morning. He spoke of having had a good night's rest and of feeling much better, and so did the nurse. The good doctor soon arrived and going to his patient, pronounced him out of danger, and highly complimented the efficient nurse, remark- ing that in the future he would know upon whom to call to watch and nurse and give the medi- cine to his sick. The patient lived for many years. As stated before, Dr. Lamb died in 1850 at the age of 76, having lived here most of 43 years. Dr. Lamb was not left alone long to endure the arduous duties in the wilderness for in 1809 DR. NOAH SPAULDING, a graduate in medicine and literature at old Dartmouth College, and a native of New Hampshire, settled in Berkshire. He remained there but a short time as he saw that Delaware was going to be a city of more promise and so in a year or two he moved there. He had good knowledge and was very cultured. He was slow in expression, but exact in his state- ments, exceedingly amiable, social and cheerful. He was perfectly temperate in all of his habits. The Human Touch Dr. Spaulding was not long in gaining a good practice among all classes. He was noted as a delightful story teller, and with his feet high above his head he would entertain his listeners with pleasing and wholesome stories. He re- mained in Delaware until his death in 1832. Dr. Spaulding was a member of the Protestant Epis- copal Church and a most exemplary Christian. He was also a fine singer, and taught classes in singing. He left his imprint upon the commu- nity for many years. In 1818 he assisted in organizing the first Sunday School in the county. His scholarly qualifications secured his appointment as a mem- ber of the board of county examiners for teach- ers. He made a pleasing impression on one of Delaware county's greatest and most noted phy- sicians, Dr. Ralph Hills. When a mere youth medical profession was rapid and he grew into Hills came before the board for examination for credentials to teach school. Suddenly Dr. Spauld- ing turned to the young man and said "Ralph, what is the difference between six dozen and a half dozen dozen." The answer being promptly given the Doctor turned to his associates and said "You may as well write out his certificate. He is one of Dr. James Hills' sons and we know what he is." There is a joke handed down about Dr. Spauld- ing. It seems he had not the most explicit con- fidence in his own professional judgment. One day he met Dr. Lamb on the street and said "Doctor, I have given my wife some blue pills, and they have not acted as they should, see what you think of them," showing some he had in his hand. Dr. Lamb examined them, placed one between his teeth and then remarked: "These are buckshot and made of lead." The third doctor to locate in the county was DR. N. HAWLEY. He came to the well adver- 5 Title A name given to the resource A Short History of Medicine and the Physicians Of Delaware County, Ohio (p. 5) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/b3f8dfd04c11bde4f971655de94497e3.jpg 1b53eece728911daaa2280dcedc157d0 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

His remarkable energy, shrewdness and great skill gave him his share of the work in the new land. He also was armed with pleasing anec- dotes and attractice stories which entertained his numerous friends. He died in 1822. He was advanced in years when he came to Berkshire and was known as "Old Dr. Hawley" from the beginning. Misfortune Takes Its Toll DR. SILAS MCCLARY, the fourth doctor to settle in the county, in 1813 came to Berkshire, where all seemed to settle first. After 20 years of labor there he moved to Delaware and in a short time went to Radnor, where he died. He, we think, was the first doctor to settle in Radnor. In his earlier days he was quite successful in business but in later life misfortune came upon him and he was left destitute and uncared for when he died. Some traits of his character always pre- vented him from becoming a favorite or friend of members of the profession and his services were seldom sought after by them. DR. SAMUEL MOULTON, was the fifth physi- cian to take up his work here and he came di- rectly to Delaware, thus slighting Old Berk- shire, in 1819. He came from Rutland, Vermont, where he graduated in medicine. His rise in the great favor and into an extensive practice. Dr. Moulton was well read, skillful, and made few mistakes. Dr. Lamb esteemed him highly for his learning and gentlemanly qualities and often sought his council. The "White Plague" or tuberculosis cut his brilliant career short and he died in 1821, or '22, at the age of 29 years. For many years his name was kept green among the people in this locality by Dr. Lamb and others prescribing and using "Dr. Moulton's Cathartic Pills." DR. ELEAZER COPELAND, the sixth to locate in the county, came during the same year as Dr. Moul- ton--1819. Also from Vermont, he located in Zoar, now called Galena, and to our knowledge, was the first doctor there. He was a shoemaker by trade and studied general subjects and medicine while plying his trade. All will admit he was a self-made man. While working at the bench he committed to memory Murray's English Grammar in two weeks' time. Other texts followed in rapid succession and then he prepared himself for schoolteaching. While teaching school he studied Greek and Latin, which he mastered without an instructor, and soon became a perfect translator of both languages. He took up the study of medicine in the same manner and became a careful, skill- ful and excellent physician. District Censor Dr. Copeland was highly esteemed by all of his professional brethren. He held the position of censor of the Sixth and afterwards of the Eleventh Medical District of Ohio, composed of the counties of Franklin, Marion, Crawford and Delaware. He was accidentally drowned in Big Walnut Creek, near Galena, in 1834. As a wise counsellor, a superior physician, a mature scholar and a useful citizen, his loss was deeply felt in all circles. DR. ROYAL N. POWERS, the seventh doctor to come to the county, located in Delaware in 1820. It is not known where he came from or where he went from here. His conduct was not ap- preciated in the community and he was compelled to leave unceremoniously, on a rail, carried by several citizens, and others who accompanied him a short distance from the town, as a lasting re- membrance of their good will. DR. ALPHEUS BIGELOW, the eighth doctor, settled in Zoar, now Galena, in 1820--perhaps a year after Dr. Copeland. He was a brother of the celebrated evangelist, the Reverend Russell Bigelow, of the Methodist Church. The doctor, like his brother, was a self-educated man. Both men possessed great energy of character, as well as strong intellect. He possessed a mind of his own and excellent judgment. Dr. Bigelow was not a regular graduate, like many others in the county, and he seldom evinced any disposition to cultivate an intimacy with any school of medi- cine, but he was a very skillful physician. He died in 1850 and had been in practice in one place, longer than any other physician at that time in the county. James Harvey Hills DR. JAMES HARVEY HILLS, probably the ninth physician to come to Delaware, was raised at Farmington, Connecticut, and educated at Yale College. He gained his early medical knowledge in the office of his brother-in-law, Dr. Eli Todd, out East, who was one of the most highly edu- cated men in the profession of his time. After practicing at his home place Dr. Hills determined to go west and so set out for Ohio. He is known to have settled first at Ravenna, Ohio, but in due time located at Worthington, in 1808. Here he soon grew in much favor and was called for, far and near, to attend the afflicted. He made frequent trips to Berkshire and Delaware 6 Title A name given to the resource A Short History of Medicine and the Physicians Of Delaware County, Ohio (p. 6) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/c5cd1f7643cad22a0b2d6ac7186d2dba.jpg a0d1566db995a43c7563774b4f79c63e Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 7] [corresponds to page 7 of A Short History of Medicine and the Physicians Of Delaware County, Ohio] and was for a time the only doctor in the area besides Dr. Lamb. At this point, I want to speak a bit of side- light history. Soon after locating in Worthing- ton Dr. Hills became affiliated with the New England Lodge, F. & A. M. He took the Fellow Craft degree on April 24, 1809, while Col. James Kilbourne was Worshipful Master and Ezra Gris- wold was Secretary; Samuel Sloper, the father-in- law of Dr. Lamb, was Tyler and William Little was a member. I mention this for in a few years he located in Delaware and found them all to then be residents there. Dr. Hills was raised to the sublime degree of a Master Mason, May 10, 1810. He served in different chairs and soon he joined the Horab Chapter of Royal Select Masters. Hardships of Military Campaign While living in Worthington Dr. Hills was found ready for duty when the War of 1812 be- gan and he was made Surgeon of the Sixth Regi- ment of regulars, and marched with General Harrison through the forests of central Ohio to Fort Defiance on the Maumee River near Toledo. While there he became seriously ill and a scout was sent back to tell his wife of his illness. She at once had her faithful riding mare saddled and prepared for the long and dangerous journey of 130 miles, through the forests and swollen streams amidst dangers and death from the red men and English scouts, to her sick and possibly dying husband. Finally, safely reaching the camp she ministered to him and others there until Dr. Hills had recovered and they could return to Worthington and to their family. In 1818 they left there and moved to Darby Plains, in Logan County, and lived at West Liberty for four years, when they came to Delaware, in 1822. Here they found a town of about 40 houses and 250 people enjoying life. Among them were the Kilbournes, Littles, Byxbes, Walkers, Lambs, Hayes, and Sydney Moore with all of whom he had fraternized at Worthington. Dur- ing this year the Reverend Joseph Hughes died from the plague. Through the years many of the town's finest men were taken by this same plague, or Milk Sickness, among them being Mr. Hayes, the father of United States President Rutherford B. Hayes; J. B. Andrews, the father of Hon. Charles Sweetzer; and in 1830 Dr. James H. Hills. Dr. Hills had married Miss Beulah Andrews, back East and was the father of a large family. There were three sons named Ralph, two having died in infancy, and the third who followed in the footsteps of his father and attained great prominence. The other sons were Reuben E., Chauncey Harvey, Darwin T., and James H. The daughters were Eleanora, Mary Jane, Rachel, and Mary. All of the children left their imprint for much good on the community in which they lived. DR. GEORGE M. SMITH, of New Hampshire, came to Delaware in 1826 and formed a partner- ship with Dr. James Hills. He was a thorough anatomist. He was compelled to leave his native State for exhuming a human body for the purpose of study. After several years in Delaware his abode was discovered by the authorities in the East. He then went to Mississippi where he married a woman of wealth. In a few years he returned north on a visit and died of cholera. Dr. Smith is particularly remembered because he was the first one to introduce quinine in the county for the treatment of chills and fever, and malaria. This was in 1826. DR. W. W. MILLER, given to us by Virginia in 1827, first practiced in famed Worthington briefly, and then came to Delaware. While he was well trained, he did not seem to do well here and moved shortly to Columbus and after that to Missouri. He was a brother-in-law of United States President, John Tyler. Ralph Hills DR. RALPH HILLS began practice in Delaware in 1830. He was the son of Dr. James H. Hills, of whom we have spoken and who began his work in Worthington in 1808, coming to Dela- ware in 1822. Dr. Ralph Hills was born in Worthington in 1810 and was 12 years old when he came to Delaware, with his parents. In the first years of his life he was given the most careful training, under the best teachers of his time. At the age of 17 Ralph took up the study of medicine under his father. He went to Cincinnati in 1828 to attend medical lectures. He showed great aptness and did thorough work in all branches, but he devoted himself especially to the study of the nervous system. In 1830, be- fore his graduation, he was compelled to return home on account of the death of his father. The faculty of the college granted him an honorary degree to practice medicine. National Fame The reputation of Dr. Ralph Hills as a suc- cessful physician and surgeon became known far and near. He was a great student in many branches of knowledge and he was employed to deliver a series of lectures on astronomy, and traveled with the Russell's Great Planitarium for two years. He was a great thinker on many sci- 7 Title A name given to the resource A Short History of Medicine and the Physicians Of Delaware County, Ohio (p. 7) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/b387616edfc898ab1991c946d7ee0379.jpg 320c61de9027992c9394a64e5ea530ee Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

As a writer, none questioned his ability. His judgment and calculations upon matters of business were almost unerring. After a few years of hard practice, at the earnest request of his uncle, Dr. Eli Todd, who had charge of a large hospital for the insane at Hartford, Conn., Dr. Hills went there to assist in the work and to study nervous disorders. This study and knowledge under Dr. Tood, laid the foundation for his great work and usefulness in after years. It was in Dr. Hills' parlor and through his influence, that the idea originated and developed into the Ohio Wesleyan Female College. Through him and his intimate friends the Ohio Wesleyan Univerity's future greatness was assured. In 1854 he established and edited the first weekly medical journal, published in the West. Headed Columbus Asylum After two years of editorial work and pub- lishing he was called to the superintendency of the Central Ohio Lunatic Asylum at Columbus, Ohio. For more than eight years he labored in the new field, going to Europe to study all of the new advancements in the great field of nervous diseases. His work of advancement for the unfortunate made his name nationally promin- ent. He was called in 1862 to plan, superintend, and build the largest state asylum in the United States at Weston, West Virginia. In 1871 he completed the task and established a new era in this branch of medical science, which will last for ages. Dr. Hills then returned to his home in Dela- ware and retired from active life. Possessing an active brain and a strong physique for a man of his age and labors, it was not intended that he should be idle. He then designed, pattented and built several fireproof houses which added to his fame. He also organized, among the physicians, a class to study and investigate medi- cal and other scientific subjects. It was said by Dr. Clouston, of England, that "Dr. Hills was a third of a century in advance of his time in the treatment and care of the insane. He has unlocked the strong, iron-barred doors and has cut the shackles from the ankles and wrists of the unfortunate insane and has turned them loose to enjoy the playgrounds and the beautiful sunshine, and has given them other equally beneficial entertainment." Ohio state authorities soon sought out Dela- ware's great thinker and tendered him the posi- tion of head of the Girls' Industrial Home in this County. Again he went to work to benefit humanity. In the very midst of his active work he was summoned by the great Master, whom he had always served in a conscientious manner, to His realm. Stricken with a cerebral hemorrhage, in a few days it was all over and his work was done, October 1879. In a short time his widow followed, leaving a daughter. Others That Followed The foregoing is as much as we can cover now, bringing us up to about 1850, but following are the names of other physicians that through the years have been here some time, were popular and well regarded by the physicians and the citizens: Dr. M. Gerhard came here in 1840, married the granddaughter of Dr. Reuben Lamb, and died in 1868; Musician--played many instruments. He owned the first piano ever in Delaware and it was frequently borrowed by Ohio Wesleyan Uni- versity for commencement exercises. He was the first in the county to use chloroform as a general anesthetic for surgery and the first to use antisep- tics in open wounds. Dr. Abram Blymer came in 1841 and died in 1882. He was one of our best physicians and a great and respected leader in the community. Dr. T. B. Williams came in 1849; Was in the Civil War as a Surgeon; Served long on the School Board and was in the Ohio Legislature. Died in 1879. Included, also, were Dr. John Little; Dr. Joseph H. Van Deman; Dr. Joseph McCann; Dr. E. H. Hyatt; Dr. W. T. Constant; Dr. A. E. Westbrook, Ashley; Dr. B. W. Hedges, and Dr. W. N. Vogt. 8 Title A name given to the resource A Short History of Medicine and the Physicians Of Delaware County, Ohio (p. 8) Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
