HISTORY OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY - 165


CHAPTER X1


SCHOOLS OF THE COUNTY.


N0 doubt the first schools in the county were what is termed "pay" schools, and the schoolhouses were built by public subscription. It was not until after the passage of the common school law that any thing like the public schools of a later day were known. There were in the state several districts, all of them entitled to a thirty-sixth part of their superficial contents for the support of common schools. In 1836-37, the subject of school lands and common schools was taken up in the general assembly, and the members agreed that something should be done, but took no definite action in the matter during that session. Complaints had come from all parts of the state, some based on one alleged grievance, some on another, and there was so much diversity in the remedies proposed that there seemed no sufficient definite data to act upon.


A superintendent was appointed for one year, to collect information on all subjects connected with the question and make report to the legislature, with a suggestion of such remedies as might appear, necessary to establish a practical free school system. One thing that seemed to require the immediate attention of the department was the school lands. The state was divided into many different grants, each having distinct school lands, and the legislation had been plentiful and complicated, adopted frequently to promote the interests of individuals, who, pretending advantage to the schools, sought an appropriation for personal advantage. It was made the duty of no individual or department to superintend this interest, and great iniquity was practiced while the legislature sought honestly to do right.


When the law passed, allowing the sale of the school lands, it was intended for immediate effect, and the frauds afterward practiced were not foreseen. No limit as to value was fixed for the sale of the lands, and the result was that, in the new counties, where there was but little demand for lands, and only a few residents—sometimes not five freeholders in a township and not a quarter of the land entered, the school land was sold for ten cents an acre and upward. Extensive speculations were made in this way. The land was sometimes worth, in a few years, several times what it was bought for. A price should have been fixed, below which the land should not have been sold, nor should it have been sold until all the government land in the township had been taken up.


A still greater fraud was committed in surrendering the leases. Some of the most valuable

school lands were first leased on "improvement leases," under which the tenant took a quarter section of land for ten or fifteen years. He was bound to build a cabin and clear some fifteen or twenty acres of land, and might clear more at his own option. After' these leases expired, the land was leased for ninety-nine years, renewable forever. Thus the tenant paid for rent the interest on the estimated value of the land, and it was to be revalued every fifteen or twenty years, as the lease might stipulate, the value of improvements to 'be excluded. In the rapid settlement of the country, land thus leased for from five to fifty cents an acre, estimating the land to be worth from $1 to $8, subject to such revaluation every fifteen years, was often, before the first fifteen years had passed, worth ten times the first estimate. The law directing the sale of school land allowed these tenants to surrender their leases, and, on paying the amount of the last valuation, to receive deeds in fee simple, so they thus obtained at $3 or $4 an acre, or less, land worth often $50 or $100 per acre. In that way, at least, £1,000,000 was lost to the school fund of Ohio, and by the sacrifice of premature sales, another large sum was lost. Both these practices were prohibited in 1838, and the land that remained was more carefully managed.


The different school funds provided for under the law were the following: The Connecticut

Western Reserve fund, the proceeds of 56,000 acres of land, or the sum of $158,656. It belonged to the several counties of the


166 - HISTORY OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY.


Western Reserve. The United States Military District, fund, or the proceeds of school lands in that part of the state. The Virginia Military school fund, composed of the proceeds of 105,155 acres of land given for the use of schools in the tract of country reserved by Virginia to satisfy her military claimants. The three tracts of country named composed about one-third of the area of the state, and had no school sections reserved, and the lands thus given were in lieu of such sections. The residue of the state, with some small exceptions, had every Section 16, or one thirty-sixth of its area, reserved for school purposes. There is also a direct tax for educational maintenance. The sources from which the school moneys expended in Muskingum county is derived are the following: A—The state common school fund; B—Local school levies; C--United States Military School fund; D—Interest on sales of Section 16.


Under the laws of Ohio, the state is divided into school districts, to be styled, respectively, city district of the first grade of the first class, city districts of the second grade of the first class, city districts of the first class, city districts of the second class, village districts, special districts, and township districts. Each city having a population of 250,000 or more by the last preceding census of the United States, including the territory annexed to it for school purposes, and excluding the territory detached from it for school purposes, constitutes a city district of the first grade of the first class; each city having a population of 150,000 or more, and less than 250,000, by the last preceding census of the United States, including the territory annexed to it for school purposes, constitutes a city district of the second grade of the first class; and each city having a population of 10,000 and less than 150,000 by the last preceding official census of the United States, including the territory annexed to it for school purposes, and excluding territory detached from it for school purposes, constitutes a city district of the first class. Each city having a population of 10,000 or more, including the territory attached to it for school purposes, and excluding the territory within its corporate limits detached, for school purposes, constitutes a school district, to be styled a city district of the first class.


Each city of the second class, having a population of less than 10,000. by the census of 1870, including the territory attached to it for school purposes, and excluding the territory within its corporate limits detached for school purposes, constitutes a school district, to be styled a city district of the second class. Each village, including the territory attached to it for school purposes, and excluding the territory within its corporate limits detached for school purposes, shall constitute a school district, to be styled a village district. Municipal corporations hereafter created, or advanced to higher grade, except villages created by advancement or otherwise, shall, from and after their creation or advancement, be school districts corresponding to their grade as herein provided. Each organized township, exclusive of any of its territory included in a city, village, or special district, shall constitute a school district to be styled a township district. Any school district now existing, other than those mentioned, which has been established by a vote of the people in accordance with any act of the general assembly, or which has been established by a general or local act of the general assembly constitutes a school district, to be styled a special district; and such districts may be established as provided for.


In city districts of the first grade of the first class, the board of education consists of one member from each ward, each member of the board to be an elector of the ward, or of the township, or part of the township, which, for school purposes, has been' or may be attached to such ward, for which he is elected or appointed. In city districts of the second class, and in village districts, the board of education consists of six members, except in districts organized under a law providing for only three members, who shall have the qualifications of an elector therein, and in such districts the membership may be increased to six; but the board of a city district of the second class, may provide, by a vote of the majority of its members, that the board shall consist of as many members as the city has wards. In city districts of the second class, members of the board of education are elected annually, to serve for the term of three years from the third Monday of April succeeding their election, and until the election and qualification of their successors; if the board consists of six members, two judicious and competent persons are elected each year; and if the board consists of three members, one such person is elected each year.


The board of education of each township district divided into sub-districts consists of the township clerk, and the directors who have been appointed clerks of the sub-districts;, the board of a township district which is not divided into sub-districts consists of the township clerk, and the directors of the district; the


HISTORY OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY - 167


board of a township district which is composed of not more than two sub-districts consists of the township clerk, and the directors of the two sub-districts; and the clerk of the township is clerk of the board, but is not entitled to a vote.


There is elected by ballot, on the second Monday of April, annually, in each sub-district and in each township not divided into sub-districts, by the qualified electors thereof, one competent person, having the qualifications of an elector therein, to be styled director, who holds his office for three years from the day of his election, and until his successor is elected and qualified.


The board of education of each special district consists of three members, who must be residents of the district, and have the qualifications of an elector therein; and when the electors of any special district, the board of education of which consists of three members, desire that the board shall consist of six members, they may make such change in the same manner as provided for city districts of the second class and village districts.


There is elected annually, by ballot, on the second Monday of April, in each special district, by the qualified electors thereof, at the usual time and place of holding school elections in such district, one judicious and competent person to serve as member of the board for three years from the first Monday succeeding his election, and until the election and qualification of his successor.


When the better accommodation of scholars makes it desirable to form a sub-district, composed of parts of two or more townships, the boards of education of the townships interested may, by mutual agreement, at a joint meeting held for the purpose, establish the same, and fix the boundaries thereof; if there is no suitable school-house within such boundaries, or if there is one, but it is not suitably located, the board may designate a site whereon to erect such building; but if there is a suitable schoolhouse within such boundaries, properly located, the school must be held therein. A chairman and secretary are chosen at such meeting, and the secretary makes a memorandum of the proceedings had thereat; a copy of such memorandum, signed by the chairman and secretary, to be transmitted to the clerk of each of the boards, who records the same in his record of proceedings of the board; and the secretary to transmit a like copy of the proceedings to the auditor of each county having territory embraced in the sub-district. The school in a joint sub-district is under the control of the board of education in the township in which the school-house is situate, of which board the director who is clerk of the joint sub-district is a member; but such school is supported from the school funds of the townships having territory in the joint sub-district, in proportion to the enumeration of youth.


For the purpose of affording advantages of a free education to all the youth of the state, there is levied, annually, a tax upon the grand list of taxable property of the state, which is collected in the same manner as other state taxes are collected, and the proceeds of which constitute the "state common school fund;" the rate of such levy is designated by the general assembly at least once in two years; and if the general assembly fail to designate the rate for any year, the same shall be one mill upon each dollar of valuation of such taxable property. The state pays interest annually, at the rate of six per cent. per annum, upon all money which has been paid into the state treasury on account of sales of lands commonly called "salt lands," and upon all money heretofore paid, or which may hereafter be paid into the state treasury on account of sales of swamp lands granted 'to the state of Ohio by act of congress; the money received from such sales constitutes an irreducible debt of the state; and the interest shall be apportioned annually on the same basis as the state common school fund is apportioned; and distributed to the several counties.


The money which has been and may hereafter be paid into the state treasury on account of sales of lands granted by congress for the support of public schools in any original surveyed township, or other district of county, constitutes the "common school fund," of which the auditor of state is superintendent, and the income of which is applied exclusively to the support of common schools. "Teaching school is a very different perform ance from what it was when I went to school," says an old resident. "The first school house was built by popular effort, and was a log cabin with a stick chimney wide enough for a big backlog. Puncheon floors, and seats without backs, rough boys and girls, hardy, rugged and frolicsome, were the order of the day. A quarter's schooling was about all we had in those days, and the smaller children, unless they lived close by, did not attend. It generally began when the fall work was all done, so the big boys could attend, and they were big boys, too. In these days we think schools should be profoundly still. Not so then. Our schools were all loud schools. The teachers governed


168 - HISTORY OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY.


by main strength, and the boys with the strongest lungs seemed to learn the fastest. These noisy schools were not so very notable until the time for studying the spelling lesson came. Then every pupil had to commence at once and study out loud—high-and low-keyed voices, the coarse, the gentle and the broad mouthed going pell mell into the work. The plodder sat by the blazing fire and deliberately spelled at the top of his 'voice while the sweat rolled down his cheeks. The glib tongued, sharp-voiced chap put his utmost vigor into his lungs and made the welkin ring. It was a veritable bedlam—as Bill Nye puts it, a sort of information of the bowels. Occasionally one would stop, for want of breath, perhaps, or to play some prank, when down came the ferrule upon his unlucky shoulders. It was unmanly to cry, but occasionally there was a sniffle or two, and then the book was brought into play and another rivulet of noise was joined to the cataract until the class was called. The teachers we had for a long time were of the loud school kind, but at last an innovation was made, The ice was broken. A quiet and unpretentious man was engaged to teach the winter term, and nothing was said about the kind of school he was to teach. When school commenced the community received a severe shock. The fellow insisted on a quiet school. The noisy spelling study was muzzled and a quietus put on other boisterousness. The strain was too great. The big boys rebelled, but to no purpose. The loud-mouthed chap, who formerly made the roof-boards rattle with his gentle voice when the time for studying the spelling lesson came, had to content himself with out yelling; all the others playing town ball and 'bull pen' at the noon hour. The big boys found sympathy at home, and the quiet school `crank' was bounced. The loud school was reinstated, but it was doomed. Slowly but surely the quiet school gained friends and the loud school became an institution of the past." In those days the first exercise was reading verses from the testament by the older pupils who had back seats, while the small children were nearest the fire. After the reading, if the teacher was a man of prayer, he prayed. This was done, too, while the little ones were getting warm. Then began the exercises in Webster's Spelling Book, the teacher pointing to the letters with penknife or scissors. Thumps on the head from the teacher's thimbled finger were not uncommon when the teacher was a woman. The thumps were sometimes harder if the teacher was a man. Then reading was begun with the maxim: " Let no man put off the law of God." Then as the reading progressed came the story in Webster's Spelling Book of the silly and unfortunate dairy maid, who, with her milk pail on her head, calculated how many eggs she could sell it for and what a fine dress she would buy, until, tossing her head with these proud anticipations, she brought down the pail and the milk was dashed to the ground and she saw all her dear plans washed away in it. Then there was the moral story about the boys stealing apples. The farmer first tried to stop them by throwing tufts of grass, but, finding they carried no terrors with them, he threw stones, which were more effectual. The "American Preceptor" succeeded that book. The children were given a recess, though the recreative period was not known by that name. The boys went first, by themselves, and afterwards the girls. If there were any scholars inside who found the " rule of three" difficult, the teacher explained it during this time. Shortly came a rap on the window to call in all the children. After geography followed a lesson in grammar, forty minutes long, which none of the children understood and most of them hated. Ruled paper was not known. The parents furnished a few sheets of paper which were sewn together at home. It was of all qualities but good. The teacher was kept busy during odd spells ruling the paper and pointing the quill pens. The ink was homemade. Later on, came the "Columbian Orator" and "English Reader," filled with matter too old for children and possessing no interest for them whatever. Children of sixteen or thereabouts got to read very well, the book passing from class to class. The girls were generally the best readers. Duvall's and Pike's arithmetic were used, but for a time there were no regular classes in mathematics. No lessons were "given out," and the pupil was left to get on as well as he could. The teacher, if he could, would work out a "sum." He had a book containing all the answers. Sometimes enterprising pupils would steal the use of the teacher's "key," as this was called. Friday afternoon was given over to "speaking pieces," reciting the commandments and catechism and repeating verses from the Bible.



After teaching school for a time on " the Ledge," a neighborhood in. his native town of Orange, Cuyahoga county, Ohio, James A. Garfield went with his mother to visit a brother of hers' in the south part of the state. Save on the canal, this was his longest journey and made on the railroad, his first ride on the cars. They stopped at Columbus, where Mr. Kent, the representative of Geauga, showed them


HISTORY OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY - 169


much attention, and young Garfield saw the wonders of that capital. At Blue, Rock, an unfortunate schoolmaster had just been disciplined by the scholars of one of the districts and dismissed; and he was induced to take them in hand for two months, and did. During the time he rode on horseback seventy miles to Athens to see a real college, the first he had ever seen. This must have been in the summer of 185o. The following statistics show the number, location and status of the public schools of the county:

CHAPER XI


SCHOOLS OF ZANESVILLE.


THE following historical sketch of the pioneer and public schools of Zanesville is condensed from a paper prepared by Superintendent of Instruction W. D. Lash:


The first school in .what is now the city of Zanesville was kept by a Mr. Harris in 1800 and 1801, in a cabin on River street, in what is now the Eighth ward, between Lee's corner and the mouth of Licking creek. In 1802 a Mr. Jennings kept a school in a cabin which stood on North Second street, on property now belonging to the Cargill estate. In 1805 Sam. uel Herrick, then a young lawyer, came to Zanesville and taught school in a cabin which .stood on the school lot on which the old Market Street Academy now stands. This schoolhouse was without " daubing," and had no other floor than the ground. A large stump which stood in the middle of the room served the purpose of a " dunce-block." Mr. Herrick seems to have been a severe schoolmaster, and one of the exploits of his refractory pupils was to escape his rod of fearful length by crawling under the lower .log of the wall into the safer regions of out-of-doors. Among the pupils of this school were William and Margaret Thompson, David and Isaac Spangler, Richard Stillwell, Harriet Convers, James Cordery, Eliza Price, Elizabeth Montgomery-and Amelia McIntire. In 1809 or 1810 Richard Kearns kept a school on the corner of North and Sixth streets. Rev. William Jones, a Presbyterian minister, taught in the old frame court house in 1810 and 1811. He taught some of the higher branches, including Latin and Greek. "Mother Goff," as she was familiarly known, taught in a house which stood on the corner of Spruce alley and Main street in 1811. In 1812-14 Arthur Reed taught in a house on the corner of Fountain alley and Seventh street. In 1816 and 1817 a Mr. Black taught in a house north of the market house. John. W. Spry taught a school in Frazey's brick house, on the corner of Locust alley and Sixth street, in 1819, and afterward, in 1823 and 1824, in the old Harvey tavern, on the corner of Third and Main streets. In 1824 James Perry taught in a two-story log house on Market street, where Duvall,s machine works now stand. In 1822-24 Rev. George Sedgwick taught a "Seminary for Young Ladies" in a house which stood on the river bank below the lower bridge. Some of the higher branches


HISTORY OF. MUSKINGUM COUNTY - 173


were taught in this school. Other teachers of this early period were Mrs. Henderson, Mrs. Colerick, Paul McPherson, Mr. Metcalf, Mr. and Mrs. Mole, James M. Fulton, Robert McCormick, Jotham. Hobbie, Miss Russell, Miss Jane Flood and Mr. Richardson.


The Zanesville academy and the McIntire School. were not strictly public schools, yet the name of John McIntire, by reason of his royal bequest, is so intimately associated with the educational interests of Zanesville that some mention of these schools is almost a necessity in a sketch of this kind.


The town of Zanesville was laid out in 1799 by Jonathan Zane and John McIntire, the proprietors

of the site, at which time they set apart and appropriated the west halves of lots 15 and 16 in the tenth square, for the use of schools in the coming town. In 1818, after the death of John McIntire, Jonathan Zane, the surviving proprietor, executed a deed for these grounds to Daniel Conyers and others,, authorizing them to enter upon and take possession of the same for school purposes. Soon after this, Daniel Conyers, associating with himself about thirty others, organized a sort of joint stock company for the purpose of erecting a schoolhouse on the ground thus secured to them. The number of shares, which was limited to fifty-three, at $25 each, were all taken, and, with the funds so raised, the first and second stories of the Old Market Street academy were built. The third story was added by Amity lodge, of the Masonic fraternity, and used by them as a "place of meeting. The building was completed and the first school opened in it in February, 1822. By the articles of association each stockholder was entitled to send one pupil for each share of stock owned by him. The school was maintained under this organization for a number of years. During a portion of its history two departments were sustained, in the higher of which many of the higher branches of learning were taught. The first teacher employed in this school was Ezekiel. Hildreth. William Pope, Jotham Hobbie, Allen Cadwalader, and others were his successors. After the public schools of the town began to assume organized form, this building was rented for a number of years, for school purposes, by the board of education, and in 1858 it was finally released to the city by the survivors and representatives of the stockholders and by Amity lodge. It is now occupied by the German-English schools, which form a part of the present school system.


John McIntire died in 1815, and by his last will and testament, given in a preceding chapter made certain provisions which have had much to do with the educational history of Zanesville. The " McIntire academy," as it was known, was built by the executors under this will, and was first occupied for school purposes about the year 1836. The first principal of this school was John M. Howe, who had, for some time previously, conducted a private seminary in a building on the corner of North and Seventh streets, known as " Howe's seminary." He was assisted by A. E. Howe and George Miller, and subsequently by Thomas H. Patrick. Mr. Howe remained as principal of this school some ten or twelve years. The school was one of high order, Latin and Greek and other branches of higher education being taught in it. The highest, or classical department, was taught by Mr. Howe in person, the lower departments by his assistants. Mr. Howe was succeeded by Mr. Theodore D. Martindale, who was assisted by. Mr. T. H. Patrick and two or three female assistants. Mr. Martindale was succeeded by Mr. Joseph Davidson, who was assisted by about the same corps of teachers. Mr. Davidson was succeeded by Mr. T. H. Patrick, who remained as principal of the school until 1856, when, the graded school system having been fully organized, it was thought by the McIntire executors, as well as by others interested, that the purposes of the testator would best-be carried out by placing the school under the control of the board of education and causing it to be merged in the general graded school system of the city. Accordingly, an arrangement was made between the McIntire trustees and the board cf education, which will be found stated in its proper place in the succeeding portion of this sketch. Although the McIntire school has ceased to exist, as a school distinctively for poor children, it served a noble purpose for a period of twenty years, and will ever be remembered as one of the historic belongings of the city of Zanesville.


Prior to April, 1839, the public schools of Zanesville were conducted under the general school laws of the state, and were of the same ungraded, character as the schools of the rural districts. The general state school law (that passed March 7, 1838,) was not considered adapted to the wants of the town in the expenditure of funds for school purposes, especially so in consequence of the existence of the McIntire school fund, which rendered the situation of Zanesville, in that regard, peculiar. On 29th of December, 1838, a meeting was held in what was known as the senate chamber, pursuant to a notice from the school directors of


174 - HISTORY OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY.


Zanesville district (Ezekiel T. Cox, Uriah Parke, and Henry Eastman), and a committee appointed to draft a bill adapted to the educa-tional wants and interests of the town of Zanesville;

while another committee was appointed to circulate petitions to the legislature for its enactment as a law.


The result of this movement was that on the 13th day of February, 1839, a special law was enacted by the legislature for the support and better regulation of the schools of the town of Zanesville.


April 1, 1839, an election was held at the court house, and the following-named gentlemen were elected as members of the first board of education: Hugh Reed, George W. Manypenny, Allen Cadwalader, Charles G. Wilson, Richard Stillwell, John A. Turner. This board organized April 6th, by electing Richard Stillwell, president, John Turner, secretary, and Charles G. Wilson, treasurer.


The first board of examiners appointed by the council consisted of Rev. James Culbertson, Rev. William A. Smallwood and Wyllys Buell: During the same year (1839) the board of education selected sites for the school building, and put the schools in operation in rented buildings, as follows: James Barton,s room, corner of Market and Fifth streets;. Mrs. Barton,s room, Fifth street, between Market and South; Mr. Spaulding,s school-house, Sixth J street, near Marietta; Old Methodist church, between First and Second streets; first floor of old academy, on Market street room in basement of Market Street Baptist church; second floor of old academy, on Market street; Mr. N. Harris, school-room, on Third street. In September of this year, Messrs. Reed and Manypenny were re-elected members of the board of education. February 15, 1840, the board of education recommended to the council the erection' of a school-house on the northwest part of the old graveyard, and submitted plans and specifications for the same. The council adopted the recommendation of the board, and immediately advertised for bids for the erection of the building. On the 12th of March, 1840, the contract was awarded to James Ramage, at $3,750. On the 28th of March, 1840, the council rented again all the rooms previously occupied by the schools, except Mr. J. Barton’s, and rented three additional rooms, namely.: One of Col. John Hall, one of Mr. Stratton, and another in the basement of the Market street Baptist church. In July, 1840, Allen Cadwalader resigned, and Uriah Parke was appointed a member of the board of education in his stead. In September of the same year, Uriah Parke and C. G. Wilson were re-elected, and H. J. Cox appointed in place of Dr. Turner, deceased. October, 1840, Rev. Amos Bartholomew was appointed examiner, vice Buell. On the 6th of November, 1840, the new schoolhouse on the hill being ,ready for occupation, the following rented rooms were vacated, and the schools transferred to the new building: John Hall’s, old Methodist church, two rooms in the basement of the Market Street Baptist church, and Mr. Stratton,s. Mrs. Barton,s room had been previously vacated, and the school transferred to Nathaniel Wilson,s room, corner of Fifth and South streets. On the 27th of November, 1841, Richard Stillwell resigned, and Jesse Keene was appointed a member of the board of education in his stead. December 9, 1841, the council purchased of John M. Howe the building on the corner of Seventh and North streets, known as "Howe,s seminary," together with the lease of the grounds upon which it was located, for the sum of $1,500. This building was repaired and improved, and was ready for occupation on the 1st of April, 1842.


With the occupation of this building begins the history of the graded school system of Zanesville. "While the schools were scattered in different parts of the town, no efficient system of organization could be adopted, and the plan of separate and independent schools was found very exceptionable, as well from expensiveness as inefficiency." In September, 1842, a system of organization was adopted, and went into immediate operation. The board of education to whom this organization of the schools is due consisted of Messrs. Charles G. Wilson, Uriah Parke, Horatio J. Cox, Hugh Reed, George W. Manypenny and Jesse Keene. The board of examiners at this time (September, 1842,) consisted of Rev. James Culbertson, Rev. W. A. Smallwood and Dr. Thomas M. Drake—Dr. Drake having been appointed in July of, this year, in place of Rev. Amos Bartholomew. On the 20th of September, 1842, Mark Lowdan and Adam Peters were elected members of the board of education in place of Messrs. Reed and Manypenny, and on the 26th Col. John W. Foster was appointed in place of Jesse Keene. In April, 1843, E. E. Fillmore was appointed a member of the board of education, in place of John W. Foster, resigned, and in September of the same year, was elected to the same office. On the 7th of April, 1845, the residence of Uriah Parke, then secretary of the board of education, was destroyed by fire, and with it all the records and papers belonging to the board. The foregoing facts are gathered from the min-

utes of the town council and from a brief abstract of the history of the schools, prepared from memory by Mr. Park, and recorded in June, 1845, in the records of the board.


In June, 1845, the following corps of teachers was in the employ of the Board, at the salaries

On the 16th of September, 1845, Gottlieb Nattinger and Leonard P. Bailey were elected members of the board of education in place of Adam Peters and Mark Lowdan. Subsequent changes in the board of education are given in the roll of the board appended to this sketch.


In July, 1847, Mr. Batchelder resigned his position as principal of the male seminary, and Mr. Mendenhall that of first assistant in the same. Orlando L. Castle was elected to succeed Mr. Batchelder, and William D. Urquhart to succeed Mr. Mendenhall. In October, 1847, Mr. Urquhart was succeeded by William A. Castle. In April,' 1848, Mr. Hatch resigned his position as principal of the female seminary and teacher of writing and singing. As a temporary arrangement, Miss Adaline Parker was made principal of the female seminary, and O. L. Castle took charge of the writing and singing in the male seminary. In July, 1848, N. A. Gray resigned his position in the male seminary and S. C. Mendenhall was elected to fill his place. L. P. Marsh was elected teacher of writing and singing, and took charge January 3, 1849. His salary was at the rate of $400 per annum. In February, 1849, J. H. Thompson, then assistant teacher in the male seminary, was made principal of the female seminary, at a salary of $500 per annum, with dwelling and fuel free. In April, 1849, the length of the school year was fixed at four quarters, of eleven weeks each. March 26, 1850, O. L. Castle, principal of the male seminary, resigned, and Mr. Marsh was made acting principal till June, 1850, when George W. Batchelder was eleeted to that position, at a salary of $800 per annum. In September, 185o, the corps of teachers consisted of Mr. Batchelder. as principal of the male seminary, with four assistant teachers. Mr. Thompson was principal of the female seminary, with four assistant teachers, and Mr. Marsh as teacher of writing and singing in both schools. The average enrollment of pupils, at this time, was about 500. In October, 1850, Mr. Marsh resigned, and Capt. Hatch was again employed as teacher of writing and singing.


No important change was made in the organization of the schools till February, 1852, when Mr. Batchelder was made superintendent of all the schools. His salary was fixed at $1,000, and he was assisted by twelve subordinate teachers. In May, 1852, the female seminary was burned, and its schools were transferred to the basement of the Seventh Street Methodist Episcopal church and the Market Street academy. In June, of this year, the board of education took action looking to the provision of additional and more suitable accommodations for the schools. A committee was appointed to select sites for four ward schools and a high school. In April, 1853, the lots on which were built the Third and Fourth ward buildings were selected. In June the board adopted plans and applied to the council


176 - HISTORY OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY.


for funds to purchase the lots selected, to erect two ward schools, and to make alterations and repairs on the Hill-school building, so as to fit it for the use of a high school. The council promptly responded to this call, authorized the issue of $25,000 of school bonds for the use of the board, and advertised for bids for the erection of two ward buildings. In July, 1853, the contract for the erection of the Third and Fourth ward buildings was awarded to Jonathan Swank, at $7,645 for each building, exclusive of the stone work. In the spring of 1853 the first school for colored children was established. Under the laws in force at that time this school was controlled by a separate board of directors, elected by the colored people, and sustained by taxes levied upon property of Colored citizens. In October, 1854, Mr. Batchelder resigned his office of superintendent.


In April, 1855, the new school buildings were completed and the organization of the graded system began to assume tangible shape. Almon Samson had been elected superintendent, and Charles W. Chandler, principal of the high school. The following departments were organized and courses of study adopted. The primary department, embracing the first three years of the course. The secondary department, embracing the second three years. The senior department, embracing the third three years. The high school department, embracing three courses of study of two years, four years, and five years, respectively. As yet no suitable school facilities had been provided for the First and Second wards. In September, 1856, the following agreement was entered into between the board of education and the trustees of the McIntire estate: "The schoolhouse was to be put in thorough repair, and furnished with furniture similar to that in the other school buildings of the city. The school to be organized and conducted under the rules and regulations adopted by the board of education, and to be under the control of the superintendent of the city schools. The expenses of repairs, furniture, salaries of teachers, together with all incidentals necessary to the conduct of the school, to be paid by the McIntire trustees; the McIntire trustees reserving to themselves the right of visitorial supervision."


During the school year ending July 3, 1857, there were sustained by the board one high school, two senior schools, five secondary schools, ten primary schools, one unclassified school, and one colored school. The whole number of teachers was thirty-one. The enumeration of white youth of school age, in this year, was 2,857, of whom 289 were under six years of age, leaving 2,568 entitled to attend the public schools. The whole number of pupils enrolled in the white schools was 1,500, leaving 1,068 entitled to admission who did not enter school at all. The average enrollment and attendance in the several departments were as follows: In high school, enrollment, 78; attendance, 75. Senior school, enrollment, 85; attendance, 83. Secondary school, enrollment, 265; attendance, 252. Primary school, enrollment, 612, attendance, 585.


At the close of this school year (July, 1857), Mr. Samson resigned his position as superintendent, having filled that office a little over two years, and having, with the co-operation of the board of education, fully established the graded system of schools, and witnessed its entrance upon a career of popularity and usefulness. M. D. Leggett was elected to succeed Mr. Samson, at a salary of $1,200 per annum. Mr. Leggett remained in charge of the schools till January, 1862, when he resigned his office to accept the appointment of colonel of the 78th regiment, O. V. I. The condition of the schools at the close of the school year 1859-60, is indicated by the following statistics, taken from Superintendent Leggett's annual report for that year: Number of schools sustained during the year: High school, I ; senior schools, 2; secondary schools, 6; primary schools, 12; rural school, 1; German school, 1 ; colored school, 1 ; total, 24; in which were enmployed: Male teachers, 8; female teachers, 30; total, 38. In addition to the above, two night schools were sustained from the first of November to the first of March, in which were employed four teachers, two male and two female. The following is the enrollment and attendance in the several departments: Total enrollment, 2,126; attendance, 1,505. The following was the schedule of salaries: Superintendent of instruction, $1,600; principal of high school, $1,000; principals of districts, $600; senior, secondary and primary teachers, $300; senior, secondary and primary assistants, $240, assistants in high school, $450 to $600. Superintendent Leggett's resignation was accepted January 7, 1862, and C. W. Chandler, principal of the high school, was elected to succeed him at a salary of $1,000, and A. Fletcher, president of the board, was employed as financial agent; salary $300. This arrangement was continued through the next school year, but the exigencies of the times having made it the duty of the board of education to exercise the strictest economy, a reduction of the salaries of superintendent,principal and teachers was made, of from ten to twenty per cent. As 'a further measure


HISTORY OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY - 177


of economy, at the close of this school year, the office of superintendent was suspended. From the report of thepresident of the board, made August, 1865, the following facts, relating to the condition of the schools for that year, are derived: Number of pupils enrolled in all the schools, 2,1110, average daily attendance, 1,289. These were seven male and twenty-eight female teachers. The arrangement with the McIntire trustees, by which they paid all expenses of the McIntire school, had now continued for nine years, and a new arrangement was entered into with them, under a contract authorized by a special act of the legislature. This act enabled the McIntire trustees to contract with the board of education for the tuition of the "poor children" who would be entitled to the benefit of the McIntire fund under the will of Mr. McIntire, and to pay to the board of education such sum from the income of that estate as in their judgment might be right and proper as an equivalent for such tuition. Under this contract the board has annually received from the McIntire trusteees the sum of $8,000, and, in addition to that, from $500 to $800 per year to furnish books and clothing to destitute children.


At the close of the school year in June, 1865, C. W. Chandler, who had been principal of the high school since its establishment, in 1855, with the exception of the one year that he filled the office of superintendent, resigned his position, and A. T. Wiles, who had been, for the three years preceding, principal of the schools of the second district, was elected to that position at a salary of $1,000 per annum. The principalship of the, Third district, made vacant in June, 1865, by the promotion of Mr. Wiles was filled by the election of Miss Maria Parsons, who had been for several years teacher of the senior school in that district. This was the first instance in the history of the Zanesville schools in which a lady was placed in the responsible position of principal, and the innovation was regarded by many earnest friends of the public schools with serious distrust. At the close of this school year, however, the board of education were so well satisfied with the result of their experiment that they applied the same policy to the other two districts. No further change was made in the organization or management of the schools until the close of the school years 1869-70, when the office of superintendent of instruction was 'restored, and A. T. Wiles, who had served for five years as principal of the high school, was elected to that office, at a salary of $1,500 per annum, and Miss Margaret Stultz, who had served for five years as assistant in the high school, was made principal of the same at a salary of $1,000 per annum.


The following figures will exhibit the status of the schools for the school year, 1868-70: Enumeration of youth of school age in the city, 3,477; high school, enrollment, 101; attendance, 77; district schools, enrollment, 2,000; attendance, 1,263; total enrollment, 2,101; attendance, 1,340; number of teachers employed: high school, principal, 1 ; assistants, 3; district schools, principals, 3; district schools, senior teachers, 3; district schools, primary and secondary teachers, 35; total, 45. The following was the schedule of salaries: Principal of high school, $1,200; first assistant in high school, $900; second and third assistants in high school, $550; principals of districts, $950; senior school teachers, $500; secondary school teachers, $400; primary school teachers, $400; German school teacher, $800; colored school teachers, 300 and $400; financial agent, $1,100

.

At the beginning of this school year (1869-70) the "Stemler" building, was completed and ready for occupation by the schools. Later in the year the city council purchased the Presbyterian mission Sunday school building on Monroe street, and the board opened in it a secondary school. The schools were all now accommodated in buildings owned by the city, except the three schools in the rooms rented of the Masonic Hall association. In the summer of .1870 School District No. 9, of Springfield township, including the unincorporated village known as South Zanesville, was annexed to the city. The board of education assumed control of the two schools of that district, and attached them, for the time being, to the Third district of the city schools. In November of this year the village of West Zanesville was annexed to the city, adding four more schools to the number already under control of the Board. The teachers formerly in charge of these schools were all re-employed by the city board of education, and their salaries adjusted to the schedule in force in the other city schools. The schools of the Seventh and Eighth wards were constituted the Fourth district, and placed under the principalship of David Harris, who had been for many years teacher and principal of the West Zanesville schools. In May, 1872, the incorporated village of Putnam was annexed to the city, constituting the Ninth ward. The Board of Education assumed only a nominal control of the schools of this


178 - HISTORY OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY.


ward until the close of the school year, deeming it best for their interest to make no attempt at that time to adjust them to the system of the other schools. By this annexation, seven schools were added to the city school system the number of teachers prior to these annexations being forty-five, and immediately subsequent thereto, sixty.


During the year 1873, the city council—at the request of the board of education—erected a brick school house, containing six rooms, in the Sixth ward, one in the Seventh ward, containing four school rooms, and an addition to the Eighth ward school building containing two school rooms. The cost of these three improvements, with the grounds upon which they were placed, was about $30,000. It has been attempted in this sketch to indicate the condition and growth of our public school system by giving such statistics as were attainable, at the close of each period of five years. The following is a. summary for the school year 1874-75: Enumeration of youth of school age in the city, 5,37o. Enrollment: High school, 159; attendance, 126; senior schools, 194; attendance, 138; secondary schools, 789; attendance, 594; primary schools, 1,51o; attendance 1,025; Gellman-English, 209; attendance 153; colored schools, 202; attendance 124. total, enrollment, 3,063; attendance, 2,160. The number of teachers employed was: High school, principal 1; assistants, 4. District schools. principals 5, senior teachers 5; seconday teachers, 18; primary teachers, 24; German-English teachers, 4; colored teachers, 4; music teachers, 2; writing teacher, 1. Total 68. The following was the schedule of salaries: Superintendent of instruction $2,000; high school, principal, $1,350; commercial teacher, $1,080; first assistant, $900, second and third assistants, $700.

In September, 1875, two new schools were opened in the Jackson street building, Eighth ward—a new building erected by the board of education, during the previous summer, at a cost of about $6,000, including the lot. At the opening of the school year 1875-76, the principalship of the high school, made vacant by the resignation of Rev. R. S. James, who had been principal three years, was filled by the election of W. D. Lash,, who had been an assistant in the same school three years. At the opening of the school year 1876-77, drawing was added to the course of study for all grades, and Miss Gertrude Stone was appointed special teacher of this branch, at a salary of $800 per annum. The Diamond building on Underwood street, having been abandoned for school purposes, was sold September, 1877, by the board, for $1,800. To render the grounds about the Moore building more ample, the Board purchased an adjoining lot for the sum of $700, improved it, and made it a part of the school grounds. This purchase was made September, 1877. After eight years of service as superintendent, A. T. Wiles resigned his position in June, 1878, and W. D. Lash, who had been principal of the high school for three years, was made superintendent, and has filled the office ever since. H. A. Axline, superintendent of the Dresden, Ohio, public schools was appointed principal of the high school.


For several years the study of music had been discontinued. In June, 1878, by order of the board, music again became a regular study in all grades. J. D. Luse was elected special teacher of this branch, at a' salary of $800 per annum. During the summer of 1878, an addition of two rooms was made to the Rural building, at a cost of $1,182, and a school of senior grade opened in the building. .At about the same time a two-story brick building was erected on Moxahala avenue, at a cost of $1,553, for the accomodation of the colored schools of the Ninth ward. The old building on Moxahala . avenue and the one on the Cooper Mill road were abandoned when the new building was occupied, and both were subsequently sold. At the opening of the school year, 1878, the board of education directed that a colored high school be organized in the Ninth Street building. The directions of the board, were carried out, and Chas. S. Harrison appointed principal at a salary of $600. Miss Gertrude Stone resigned her position as teacher of drawing at the close of the schools in June, 1879. Drawing was subsequently dropped from the course of study. December 29th, 1879, the principalship of the high school was made vacant by the resignation of H. A. Axline. Mr. C. R. Long was elected to the position. The following is the summary of the schools for the year ending August, 1880 :


Enumeration of youth of school age, 5,571, Enrollment: High school, 173; attendance 132; senior schools, 225; attendance, 190; secondary schools, 799; attendance, 617; primary schools, 1,50o; attendance, 1,046; German–English schools, 197; attendance, 156;

Additional school accommodations being needed in the Seventh ward, the board purchased lots on Grant street, May, 1880, for the sum of $800, and had erected thereon a brick building of two rooms, at a cost of about $2,800, in which schools were immediately opened after the-completion of the building. During the year 1880-81, the board remodeled and enlarged the Madison Street building, at a cost of about $4,000. The crowded condition of the schools in this ward rendered the addition necessary June 28th, 1881, the office of supervising district principal was abolished, and the entire supervision of the schools placed in the hands of the Superintendent. The board also directed that a Normal School be opened for the training of teachers to be employed in the public schools of the city. This school was opened in September, 1881, the number of students being limited to twenty. The course of study adopted was substantially as follows : I. Training in Methods of Imparting Instruction in Primary Grades. II. Mental Philosophy and the Science of Education. III. General Review of all the Common Branches, with Special Attention to Methods. IV. Special Instruction in Music and Penmanship. V. Practice in Teaching. Two schools of primary grade were placed in charge of the principal to be taught by the students of the normal school, under her personal supervision. Each student was required to be in the practice room not less than four weeks. Miss S. R. Chandler, for many years supervising principal of the first district schools, was appointed principal of the normal school at a salary of $800. December 26th, 1881, J. D. Luse resigned his position as special teacher of. music, and B. C. Davis, was elected to fill the vacancy.


For many years, the school accommodation in 'what is known as the McIntire district was inadequte. The old building on Market street was unfit for use. Rooms not suited to school purposes were being .rented in the Masonic Hall building. The old High School building, at the head of Main street, was very much qut of repair, and almost unfit for school .use. The three colored schools on the east side of the river were poorly provided with rooms. The demand for a new building was pressing. Efforts made to have the McIntire Academy building enlarged had failed. Several attempts to purchase suitable lots for a sehool building had also proven fruitless. January 13th, 1881, a special committee was authorized to purchase the lot on corner of Sixth and North streets, at a cost of $10,000. Plans and specifications for a building of twelve rooms on this lot were approved and adopted by the board, January 14th, 1882. This building, known as the High School building, was completed before the opening of the school year 1883-84. The cost of the building and improvements was $38,801.83. At the close of the schools, July, 1883, the board directed that the high school be transferred to the new building, and that transfers of certain other schools be made, whereby the rooms in the Masonic building were vacated, and the old Academy building, on Market street, abandoned. This building was afterward sold. The board repaired the old High School building, at the head of Main street, for the use of the colored schools on the east side of the river. These improvements were completed at a cost of over $1,000, and the colored schools transferred to the building, September, 1883. The building on Ninth street, made vacant by the transfer of the colored schools, was subsequently sold, being unfit for school purposes. At the close of the schools, June, 1884, C. R. Long resigned the Principalship of the high school, and J. M. Seright was elected principal.


The status of the schools at the close of the school year 1884-85 is given below:. Enumeration of youth of school age, 6,129; enrollment: High school 225, attendance 171; senior schools 309, attendance 245; secondary schools 903, attendance 747; primary schools 1,460, attendance 1080; German-English 146, attendance 119; colored schools 216, attendance 164; total enrolled 3,259, total attendance 2,526.

During the early part of the school year 1886-87, the board built an addition of two rooms to the Seventh ward building, at a cost of about $3,000: This addition was made necessary by the increase in the enrollment of pupils in the Seventh ward. At the close of the school year of 18.85-86, J. M. Seright resigned the principalship of the high school, and L. L. H. Austin was elected to fill the position. At this time the new building had been furnished with single desks and the larger buildings had been fitted with steam-heating apparatus.

When the compulsory school law was enforced by the board of education, it was found that many children affected by the law were unable to attend school on account of indigent circumstances. A night school was opened in October to accommodate this class. The school was continued in session five months, the limit of enforced attendance. The number of pupils enrolled was 63, the number belonging 43, and the average number attending 33.


The number enrolled was in effect limited to those between the ages of 14 and 16 years, who were compelled to attend school, but unable to attend the day schools for reasons given above. Many applied for admission who were not compelled to be in school but desired to avail themselves of the opportunity furnished by the night school for continuing their education. For want of sufficient teaching force, this class of applicants was denied admission. The work accomplished by the en-

Prior to 1839, the public schools of Zanesville were operated under the general school laws of the state. The first general school law was enacted by the general assembly of .182425. It provided for the election of three directors for each school district, and for a levy for school purposes of one-half a mill on the dollar of taxable property. This law was amended in 1829 so as to authorize county commissioners to levy a school tax of three-fourths of a mill. In 1837, the county commissioners were authorized to levy one and a half mills, and in 1838 two mills., In 1839, the county commissioners were authorized to reduce the school levy to one mill. The special law for " the support and better regulation of the schools of the town of Zanesville," passed in 1839, made no provision for a levy by the board of education of a tax for school purposes, but provided that the town council should, upon requisition of the board of education, appropriate annually a sufficient amount of funds to defray the contingent expenses of the schools, for rent, fuel, repairs, &c. The tuition fund was still raised under the provisions of the general law. The funds so obtained were not sufficient to meet the requirements of the schools, and the deficiency was made up by tuition fees, varying in amount in different years.


There were at this time two school districts in Zanesville township, outside the corporate limits of the town, that shared equally with the borough din the funds arising from taxation. In 1848, the board of education of the town secured an amendment to the law whereby the taxable property of the borough was made returnable separate and apart from that in the township outside the borough. In 1849, a law was enacted by the general assembly for the "support and better regulation of public schools in cities and towns," the twelfth section of which authorized boards of education to determine the amount of tax to be levied for all school purposes, except the purchase of sites and the erection of buildings, provided that such tax should not exceed four mills upon the dollar of taxable property. In 1851 this section was, by special act, made applicable to the city of Zanesville. The last enactment relieved the city council of the duty of providing for the contingent expenses of the schools, leaving with that body only the duty of purchasing sites and erecting buildings. Under the special law of 1839, modified by the several amendments named above, the schools of Zanesville were conducted until the enacment of the present general school law.


186 - HISTORY OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY.


Besides these amendments directly affecting the law under which the schools of Zanesville were conducted, it was further modified by provisions contained in the city charter, and subsequently by those of the municipal code, as well as by amendments to the general school law of the state. These acts and amendments were so conflicting and contradictory, and so inconsistent with the original Zanesville school law of 1839, that it became a very difficult matter to determine what were the legal rights and duties of the board of education, and to what extent the powers of the city council extended to the educational department of the city, and led to much embarrassment in the relations of these two. bodies. These embarrassments have been removed by the provisions of the general school law of 1873, which vests the title of all property formerly held by the city council for school purposes, in the board of education, and authorizes the board of education to provide for tuitional and contingent expenses by the levy of a tax not exceeding seven mills on, the dollar of taxable property, and, if necessary, to borrow money upon bonds for the purchase of sites and the erection of buildings.


In addition to the funds arising from taxation, the board of education received from the trustees of the McIntire estate, from 1856 to 1865, a sum sufficient to defray the expenses of the schools taught in the McIntire building, since which time they received annually, from the same source, the sum of $8,000 until the opening of the school year 1878-79, when the trustees of this estate reduced the amount for tuitionary purposes to $7,000, and directed that the sum of $1,800 be expended in books and clothing for poor children. In June, 1880, the contract with the board under which this amount of money was annually received from the McIntire estate was rescinded. The trustees, however have annually given to the board of education the sum of $1,000 to be expended in books and clothing for poor children who attended the public schools. The action of the trustees of this estate in withdrawing this amount of money from the support of the public schools was made necessary by the expenditure of money by them in establishing a children's home. A tract of land now within the corporate limits of. Zanesville, was purchased and improved, and elegant buildings, including a school house, with all necessary conveniences for caring for small children, were erected. This institution is known as the John McIntire children's home. Prior to the withdrawal of this money by the McIntire trustees, the local levy for school purposes, made by the board of education, was three and one-half mills. he loss of this amount from the school funds, the building of new school houses, and the furnishing of other buildings with steam-heating apparatus, and new furniture, made it necessary for the board to increase the levy, which, for the year 1886-87, was five and one-half mills. The limit fixed by the state law is seven mills.


In addition to the public schools there are a number of private institutions most prominent of which are the following: Putnam Female Seminary, inaugurated in 1835 and incorporated in 1836; Zanesville Business College, established in April, 1866; St. Thomas Catholic School, organized in 1856; Trinity Lutheran School, opened about 1860; St.. Nicholas Catholic School; Radef Schulem Hebrew School, and Putnam Academy, a military school for boys, Rev. E. E. Rogers principal and proprietor, now in its second year.


Closely allied with the educational history of Zanesville is that of its old and valuable library. The Zanesville Athenaeum is the crowning result of numerous zealous efforts and had its inception in a movement for the formation of a reading society in 1827. December 19, that year, a meeting was held for that purpose. Alexander Harper presided; Alfred Martin was secretary. Richard Stillwell, Allen Cadwallader and C. B. Goddard were appointed a committee to draft articles of association. These articles show that it was a library association pure and simple, governed as most library associations are governed, charging an annual membership fee of $5 with the proviso that one already a member might secure to a member of his family, a minor fourteen years old or over, the privileges of a member on payment of an annual fee of $2. These regulations were amended February 16, 1829, to the code now in force. The association was incorporated December 22, 1828. The following were signers and stockholders with voting privileges: Charles B. Goddard, H. L. Pierce, George B. Reeve, David Reed, S. H. Culbertson, Isaac Dillon, Amos G. Baldwin, A. C. Howard, John Milson, Jr. Henry Granger, William Blocksom, Stephen Burwell, Daniel. Conyers, Josiah Spalding, Samuel Russell, Jacob Stout, Adam Peters, W. R. Putnam, W. C. Pelham, C. C. Conyers, J. V.

Work was begun by the purchase of several of the leading magazines and newspapers of the day. In 1830 the county leased the grounds where the present court house stands, and they erected thereon a building at a cost of $3,500, where they remained until 1874, when they removed to their present commodious quarters at 30 and 32 South Fifth street. At present the Library has a revenue of about $2,000 annually, and contains about six thousand volumes. The income of the Athenaeum is $1,000 annually from the McIntire estate, to which are added rents and £4 annually from each stockholder. - The present officers are Dr. E. C. Brush, president; J. R. Stonesipher, secretary and treasurer; Miss M. A. Stillwell, librarian.


CHAPTER XII


BENCH AND BAR.


PRINCIPALLY, the following interesting sketch of Muskingum county's judicial history from 1804 to. 1877. The county's birthday was March 1, 1894. On April 25, 1804, the first session of the court of common pleas was held in David Harvey's tavern. Ohio had borrowed a judicial system from Pennsylvania and grouping several counties in a "ciruit," assigned it to one president judge. He was required to be a lawyer, and was elected by the state legislture. That body also chose from among the electors of each county three citizens not lawyers and called them assoicate judges. The president and two assoicates made up a quorum; in the absence of the the president, the three assocates could sit as a court. Special sessions could be held as often as needed by the associates, and they disposed of the great body of the ordinary work now done in the probate court. The state in 1804, embraced three circuits. (The second contained, Adams, Fairfield Franklin, Gallia, Muskingum, Ross and Scioto counties, and the 25th of April was by law named for the beginning of the first term of common pleas in Muskingum, being the third is taken from the Monday in the month. The supreme court consisted of three judges, and was required to hold one term each year in each county, and the said third Monday, April 25, 1804, was fixed for the beginning of the first term of the supreme court in this county. There is no record extant of any session of the supreme court, but the president judge of the .common pleas circuit, that year was Levin Betts. The county offices contain no docket or record of any kind touching that session, and it is very probable that it was merely a formal one. Abel Lewis was by the court appointed clerk pro tem of the court of common pleas, and over his signature the earliest writ issued from the common pleas of which any reord exists went out on June 6, 1804, being a capias ad resoondendum at the suit of Samuel Courier, husbandman-carter, versus James Sprague. Wyllis Silliman was attorney for plaintiff, and Philemon Beecher, if Lancaster, appeared for the defense. The action was in slander; damages claimed, $500; the slander charged being the use of the words, "You are a thief, and I can prove it." The declaration was in the old verbose form. Verdict for the plaintiff; damages, £3. This verdict was rendered in November, 1804, and so far as the records show was the first one in the county. Lawyer Silliman evidently was dis-


188 - HISTORY OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY.


pleased with his .client, for on November 20, same month, he sued out another capias as attorney

for the very James Sprague from whom he had just recovered the $3, and arrested his former client, Samuel Courier, husbandman-carter, in a suit for $100 debt. Lewis Cass defended this suit, and at August term, 1805, obtained a verdict, and James Sprague had to pay the costs. Following is the composition of the first petit jury in Muskingum common pleas: I, William Montgomery; 2, Isaac Prior; 3, John Reasoner; 4, Joseph Neff; 5, Thomas Cordray; 6, David Herron; 7, William Dusenberry; 8, William Reasoner; 9, Daniel Campbell; io, Joseph Stotts; i 1, David Enslow; the twelfth man did not appear.


The record is not signed, and it cannot be stated with certainty what judge presided, but it was probably Levin Betts. Nothing can be learned as to his history. Muskingum remained in his circuit less than a year. It is probable that he resided near or west of the Scioto, as the most populous part of his circuit was Ross county, which had a large influence in the legislature by which he must have been elected.


The act of February 22, 1805, transferred. Muskingum to the Third circuit, composed of the counties of Belmont, Columbiana, Jefferson, Muskingum, Trumbull and Washington, and thereby Calvin Pease became the president judge. He was even then, although he had been for some years on the bench, only twenty-seven years old. A New-Englander, sharp, energetic and witty. He resided in Trumbull county, and " administered the law to all the inhabitants of the state east of the Muskingum river," and performed his duties as judge " with much ability and integrity." He ceased to be judge of this court at the close of 1807, but became one of the judges of the supreme court of the state in 1816, and at the same time John McLean, who for so many years adorned the bench of the highest national court, was chosen a member of the same court. Judge Pease afterwards practiced law in Trumbull and adjoining counties. It may be well to here add a list of the common pleas judges who have presided in the county: 1804, Levin Betts; 1805-1808, Calvin Pease; 1808-1822, William Wilson; 1822-1836, Alexander Harper; 1836- 1846, Corrington W.

William Wilson, third president judge of the Muskingum common pleas, was born in the year 1770, at or near Goffstown, a village about fifteen miles south of Concord, the capital of New Hampshire. The son of a farmer, he was educated at Dartmouth college. The following sketch was written by James R. Stanbery, Esq., of Newark:


" Having studied law in his native state, he removed to Johnstown, New York, where he practiced a short time, and then came to Chillicothe, Ohio, where he married. He was appointed president judge of the court of common pleas in the year 1808, when Licking county was organized, and presided in the courts of the district of which Licking was then a part, until the year 1822. In October, 1822, he was elected to congress. He served as member of congress for one term, and was re-elected, served a second term, and died in 1827, and is buried at Newark, Ohio. The counties composing his judicial district included Fairfield, Licking, Knox, Muskingum and others. His characteristics as a man were peculiar, and 'he was while he lived, noted for his liberality, and had the confidence and regard of all his neighbors. He was foremost in all public enterprises of his day, and consulted in all matters of public interest. He was very easy of approach by all, and had a popularity which always secured him public position when he aspired to it. His knowledge of his profession is said not to have been profound, but his administration of justice was satisfactory, and up to the requirements of the time in which he lived. He believed in keeping the peace and ridding the community of obnoxious offenders in a small way by what now might be considered a more summary process than attends " the law's delay." There was once on a time in the history of the village in which he lived, then containing a sparse population, such men as were known as wife beaters; and the citizens upon one occasion (as recollected by the writer who was then a boy), had convened to punish such an offender; after diligent search for him, they found him concealed in his cabin, and had prepared a rail upon which it was proposed to mount him.

By common consent of the crowd before administering the punishment, concluded that Judge Wilson should first be consulted as to its propriety. The residence of the judge was sought, who being aroused from his bed, and advised of the object of the visit, which was in the night, promptly approved of the decision of his neighbors, and after furnishing the necessary luxuries, headed the procession and carried the offender to be dealt with as had been decided. When the ride was extended far enough, the victim being rested and refreshed from time to time, the judge delivered him a lecture, and directed him to leave the neighborhood and never again revisit it. That man never came back."


" Judge Alexander Harper," says Judge Granger, " was born February 5, 1786, I think in the North of Ireland. I cannot give you the date at which he became a member of the bar of our county; but the oldest existing docket shows him engaged in cases at August term, 1813. From 1817 to 1822, he had with him in a firm styled Harper & Doland, John Doland, who about 1824-5, moved to Perry county. In October, 1820, Mr. Harper was elected to represent Muskingum in the state house of representatives, and re-elected in 1821. In 1822, he was chosen judge.


" On retiring from the bench in. 1836, Judge Harper followed the precedent set, by Judge Wilson, and was elected as our representative in congress, and as such served for four terms, 1837-39; 1843-47; 1851-53. He died December 1, 1860. His long life in our midst made him so known that many who hear me -can describe him far better than I. When. I came to the bar he was just leaving it. I can recall only one instance in which I heard him argue a cause. He was defending a man nearly as old as himself, who under great provocation had shot and killed a man in, I think, Jefferson township. Judge Harper, as known to me, was always even-tempered and kind in manner. His old client, to whom I refer, as- he sat behind his counsel, showed a face so gentle, so unmarked by passion, that I yielded. ready credit to his many neighbors who testified that when not influenced or overcome by liquor, his temper and conduct had always been peaceful. Judge Harper, old as he was; spoke with much of the fire of his early days, and so carried court and jury with him that the verdict was manslaughter, and the sentence the mildest permitted by the law. Another of my few remembrances connected with Judge Harper, is the fact that when in 1851, the Whig congressional convention was about to meet to name a candidate whose election was sure, the general sentiment of the district awarded the place to the judge. This fact always seemed to me very creditable to him. After fourteen years' service as judge, and six years in congress, to be so called upon as a candidate in a district where undoubted party success would naturally invite competition before the convention, seems good proof that in his long public service, Alexander Harper had shown himself capable and honest. No one in our present bar was in practice while Judge Harper was upon the bench; hence neither you nor I can learn further details of his judicial career. Such men as Thomas Ewing, the elder, Philemon Beecher, Henry Stanbery, Charles B. Goddard, and others appeared before him year after year, and his circuit comprised a number of important and influential counties. Under these circumstances, after seven years of services, the general assembly, in 1829, re-elected him; while therefore, details are absent, the outlines prove him a worthy judge.


" His successor, Corrington W. Searle, was a resident of Newark, when in 1836, he was chosen to office. He soon removed to Zanesville, and remained in or near our city until his death. Born in Wyoming valley, Pennsylvania, of Connecticut parentage, he came in early manhood to Ohio, studied law in the office of Wyllis Siliman, and was admitted about 1820. Called to the bar in a newly settled state, while libraries were scarce and scant, and books costly and difficult to procure, the circumstances under which Ohio law practice needs must be carried on, reinforced his vigorous intellect and keen perception and so familiarized him with the great foundation principles of law that for him their application to any given state of facts was an easy task; and he rarely failed to rightly and speedily solve the most complex legal problems. A correct thinker, he never wasted words in giving expression to his thoughts; every word used occupied a fitting place and carried some portion of the sense intended to be conveyed. His observation was keen; he well understood the men who, as litigants, lawyers, jurors, or witnesses came before him. As a judge, his decisions, were clear, concise and accurate; as a lawyer, his examination or cross examination of a witness resulted in presenting to court or jury every fact spoken of in as favorable light for his side of the case as well judged questions could produce. As an advocate, his manner was quiet but impressive, and united with his correct reasoning and clear style, gave him great influence with court and jury. Becoming tired

of judicial work, he resigned at the close of the year 1846, and began practice in the law office vacated by Judge Stillwell. As shown by the list heretofore given, he was subsequently twice recalled to the judgeship during vacancies by resignations. Judge Searle presided for the last time October 25, 1856. After that date he undertook no new cases, and seldom appeared in court. He lived on his farm, about a mile south of Putnam, until,, shortly before his death, he removed to Zanesville, and died there December 1, 1865.


To fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Judge Searle, the. legislature selected Richard Stillwell, at the session of 1846-47. Before the ensuing term of court, he became seriously ill, and so continued for an entire year. He wished to resign, but the bar were urgent that he should remain in office. He first sat as judge; in this county, on the 4th day of April, 1848. In October, 1850, he was chosen to represent the county in the convention which formed our present constitution, and in October, 1851, was elected judge of common pleas, for the sub-division composed of Muskingum, Morgan and Noble counties; the first judge chosen for us by popular election. In September, 1854, he resigned and resumed practice. He was born in Bucks county, Pennsylvania, September 2, 1797, and was brought in childhood to our county by his father, Daniel Stilwell, who sat as associate judge of common pleas, in 1817. "Young Stillwell," says Mr. Granger, "studied law in Zanesville, with Gen. Herrick, and was admitted to the bar about 1819. His name first appears as engaged in a cause at July term, 1819. He was soon afterward made prosecuting attorney, which office he ably filled for many years. He soon acquired a large practice, and thenceforward held a leading position in our bar. His mind was active and his temperament nervous. Himself an able lawyer and a zealous worker, he had small patience with the ill-prepared, the careless, or the idle, and ever sought to prevent unnecessary delays in the trial of causes. But he was quick to detect real merit and to encourage the young lawyer who evinced industry, study and professional ambition. Like his predecessor, Judge Searle, he was well grounded in legal principles and ready and apt in correctly applying them to the facts in the case; and also, clear and concise in his charges and decisions. He was judge in my student days, and I well remember how wonderful it seemed to me, that so soon as the arguments closed, he could, as he did, turn to the jury and with scarce a pause, referring to no book, and rarely ever to the papers in the case, tell them pointedly how, if the facts were so and so, their verdict must be for the plaintiff; or if so and so, for the defendant. He never troubled them

with legal theorems, or quotations, or disquisitions, and sent them into their room all at sea, to puzzle out the application of extracts from law books to what facts seemed to them proven; he, as it were, translated general statements of legal propositions into the language of the facts in the case; and when the jury agreed as to the facts their difficulties were at an end." Both Searle and Stillwell, loved the old common law and its system of pleading, and were reluctant to part with even its objectionable technicalities. This was very natural. It had been the study of their youth; the work of their lives had been controlled and measured by, it, and the change came when they had reached that age which sees most readily the possible perils of that which is new, and is almost blind to the imperfections of that which had long been familiar. Resuming practice in the fall of 1854, with his son-in-law, Capt. John C. I-Iazlett as his partner, he engaged far more actively than did Judge Searle, and continued until his last sickness. He died February 2d, 1862.


On September 16, 1854, John E. Hanna, of Morgan county, was commissioned by Governor Medill, to fill the vacancy until a successor could be elected. He sat as common pleas judge for three days, and attended as one of the district court judges, at September term, 1854. In October, Charles C. Convers, was elected by the people, and on October 10th was commissioned, and Judge Hanna,s brief term came to an end. John E. Hanna was born December 19, 1805, in Westmore and county, Pennsylvania. In 1815, his father came to Harrison county, Ohio., and there the son began to read law with Chauncey Dewey, in the spring of 1823, and was admitted to the bar on September 27, 1825, at New Philadelphia. He located at McConnelsville, in April, 1826. In 1840, February 18th, he was by the legislature chosen president judge of common pleas for the then Eighth circuit, composed of the counties of Athens, Gallia, Lawrence, Meigs, Morgan, Washington and Scioto, and served seven years. On his retirement from the bench, he resumed practice at the bar. As he is still amongst us, known and liked by all, I- shall leave to some future chronicler the summing. up of his career. Long may he. live, as cheerful and kindly as he is now. I know no man who has passed the measure of


HISTORY OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY - 191


three score and ten who walks with so firm and springy a step as does he to-day. Few who are a score of years his junior can equal it."


Charles C. Convers was born in Zanesville on the 26th day of July, 1810; son of the same Daniel Convers who in his youth had brought the first mail from Marietta, and grandson of Benjamin Convers and Josiah .Munro, both members of " The Ohio Company." He studied law in the office of his brother-in-law, Charles B. Goddard; came to the bar in 1831 or 1832; practiced for many years in the firm of, Goddard & Convers; represented the co.unty in the state senate in 1849 and 1850; was speaker of the state senate' during the interesting session of 1850--51 ; was a candidate on the Whig ticket for supreme judge in 1851, but the Democrats carried the state; was elected common pleas judge in October, 1854, and judge of the supreme court in' 1855. He was sworn into office as judge of the supreme court in February, 1856, but the disease that was to cause his death had already seized upon him, and there being no hope of his recovery he soon resigned. He died September 10, 1860.


Judge Convers differed in many ways from his predecessors. Already in his school-boy days schools -and colleges had been established in the state; the university at Athens had already graduated Thomas Ewing and others. His father gave to his son freely all accessible educational advantages —supplementing school, college and office instruction by sending him to the Harvard law school, then in its earlier and palmy days. There he heard the lectures of Story and Greenleaf, and had for fellow-students such men as Benjamin Robbins Curtis and Charles Sumner—since famous, the one upon the bench and at the bar of the supreme court of the United States, the other in the national senate. An eager and diligent student, he became, it may be safely said, more " learned in the law" than any other Ohio lawyer of his day. This devotion to study; this vast reading not unnaturally prevented him from grasping the controlling principles of the law as firmly as his predecessors had done. Accustomed to books—possessed of one of the most complete law libraries then in the state—he, as it were, by an insensible process of growth; came to rely upon books and precedents rather than on reasoning from legal principles. His mind readily perceived distinctions, and his retentive memory kept ever present the variations and exceptions to which every rule is subject. His great conscientiousness made it seem a duty to accompany every annunciation of a legal proposition from the bench, in an opinion or a charge, with a statement of the modifications, variations and exceptions to which it might be subject. This habit, while so creditable in motive, while it gave signal proof of his legal erudition, and conveyed much information profitable to the attentive student or lawyer, occasionally embarrassed juries, who naturally could not remember enough of such detailed instructions to. properly apply them. This character of mind caused him to prefer the hearing and determination of equity cases to sitting as a nisi prius judge with a jury.


" I had the profit and pleasure of studying law in his office, says Judge Granger, "and ever have and ever will remember him with honor and affection. A cultured gentleman, refined and courteous, he sought to foster in his students a love for the law as a science and an ambition to elevate the esprit du corps of the bar." Of slight frame physically, his constitution, temperament and habit gave him as an advocate the manner of the scholar rather than that of the orator, but his earnestness, his argumentative power, backed by his thorough acquaintance with the law and facts of his case, made him very influential with court and jury. His reputation as a lawyer of great learning and ability gave him a practice more extensive, considering the territory covered, than that enjoyed by any other resident member of the Muskingum bar. His retainers in cases for argument in the supreme court came from counties in all parts of Southeastern Ohio, and his name appears in the Ohio reports during the last half of his practice oftener, perhaps, than that of any other Muskingum county lawyer.


The vacancy caused by his resignation as common pleas judge was filled, as already stated, by Judge Searle, who held under appointment of the Governor until the election and qualification of Judge Marsh, in October, 1856. "As for the remaining Judges, Marsh, Evans, Granger, Wood and Frazier, they yet live and may be seen and known of you all. Some future historian of your county and its courts may tell another generation of their work."


Thus much as to the lawyer-judges of the Muskingum common pleas. For half a century —1802-1852—beside the lawyer or president judge sat three associate judges, who were chosen by the state legislature from the electors resident of the county and served terms of seven years each unless sooner removed by death, resignation or "for cause."


"As no minutes or journal of 1804 is in existence, I cannot tell you" says Judge Granger, "who sat. with Judge Levin Betts. Mr.


192 - HISTORY OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY


E. H. Church, an old resident, well known to you, tells me that David Harvey sat at April Term, 1804, but he cannot recall the names of the other two." In 1805, the journal shows that Jesse Fulton, Richard McBride and William Mitchell sat with Judge Pease. After the first appointments, such provision was made by law that the terms of the associates expired in different years, so that but one would go off the bench at a time. 'Thus Richard McBride was succeeded by David Findley, and then they came , thus: Ebenezer Buckingham, Stephen C. Smith, Daniel Stillwell, Robert Mitchell, Robert McConnell, David Young, Thos. Ijams, Edwin Putnam, Mathew McElhinney, William Blocksom, James Jeffries, William Cooper, Jacob P. Springer, FIoratia J. Cox, Wilkin Reed.


As already stated, these associate judges formed a necessary part of: the court at all times, and alone, as a general thing, transacted all business pertaining to an orphans, or probate

court. Yet each of them had a right to vote upon every decision; and for a whole year; in 1847, while Judge Stillwell was sick, the associates--Springer, Cox and Reed—held the court, Judge Springer presiding. And between 1847 and 1852 there was much litigation between Jacob Baker and Michael D. Gittings, and as Judges Searle and Stillwell had been of counsel neither could sit as judge; so the same associates alone heard and determined such of said causes as were passed upon prior to February, 1852.


At the last term held under the old Constitution--in January, 1852—a month before their court was to expire, a question arose that for the first time, so far as is known, resulted in the overruling of the opinion of the president judge by his associates. Numerous indictments under the liquor law of 1851 had been presented by the grand jury. The prosecuting attorney, now and for many years past a distinguished lawyer, had omitted a certain averment. Judge Searle, in deciding a motion to quash one of these indictments, following what had become a custom when such question came up, announced an opinion sustaining the motion, as the judgment of the court without first consulting the associates. This occurred in the forenoon. The question involved had been much discussed, not only in court but among the people, and temperance men were anxious that the prosecutions should be sustained. Judge Cox, on the opening of court in the afternoon, announced an opinion against the motion to quash; Judge Reed de Glared that he concurred with Judge Cox, whereupon Judge. Searle said: "The court being divided the motion is over-ruled." Hearing this, Judge Springer added: "I agree with the associate Judges." Judge Searle quietly entered the decision on the docket, and soon after declared the court adjourned sine die, and the old court with the old constitution was dead. The question involved survived, and Judge Stillwell at the next term decided it in the same Way as the associates had done; but the supreme court agreed with Judge Searle, by a vote of three judges to one.


The list of associate judges contains the names of many men well known for their experience, good sense, good judgment, and integrity. No one of them was ever "removed for cause." No charge of misconduct was ever even preferred against any of them. For half a century they administered the laws regulating the administration of estates, partition of lands, etc., sensibly and justly. These duties and others, some of a kindred nature, and others touching upon common pleas jurisdiction, have since February, 1852, been discharged by the probate court.


In this court the following named judges have held office in this county: Mahlon Sims, 1852-58; William T. Mason, 1858-64; R. W. P. Muse, 1864-70; Henry L. Korte, 1870-73; Reuben H. Morgan, 1873-75; Henry L. Korte, 1875. Of these judges, Sims alone is dead. When elected he was a farmer in Hopewell township. He was re-elected, served ' out his term; was chosen a justice of the peace in Springfield township, and died about September, 1862. Judge Mason, a farmer of Meigs township, served also two terms. Judges Muse, Korte and Morgan were lawyers. Under the old constitution, every year a term of the supreme court was held in Zanesville, and in turn all the judges of that court sat in "Old 1809."


So also, since 1852, the sessions of the district court have brought here in turn every supreme

judge, save Judge Day, and the common pleas judges of the Second and Third subdivisions of the Eighth judicial district. None of these can properly be said to have belonged to the county courts; their number forbids any attempt to even name.


Attention is now directed to "the bar." "I think," says Judge Granger, "Wyllis Silliman was the first lawyer who settled, in Muskingum county. Mr. Church says that he was present at the April term, 1804." With or very soon after him came Lewis Cass, his brother-in-law, and in 1805 Silliman, Cass and Herrick were the only resident lawyers. Philemon


HISTORY OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY - 193


Beecher, William W. Irwin and Elijah B. Mervin, of Lancaster, and Mathew Backus, of Marietta,

attended that term. It was held in the "hewed log dwelling house, built by James Herron, enclosed but not finished"—the same house heretofore referred to, located south of Main and on the west side of Sixth street. In 1809 Samuel W. Culbertson became a resident lawyer in Zanesville.


At August term, 1813, two new names appear, Alexander Harper and Ebenezer Granger. As Granger had seven cases at that term he must have resided here a year or two prior to it. In 1817, John C. Stockton and Appleton Downer, have causes for the February term, and at February term, 1818, appear the names of Charles B. Goddard and Thomas Ewing—Ewing being of the then Lancaster firm of Beecher & Ewing. April term, 1819, shows the names of Arius Nye, John Doland, and Charles R. Sherman; and July term,. 1819, Richard Stillwell. Nye removed to Marietta, was afterward president judge in Washington circuit, and was noted for his eccentricities. Doland, about 1825, moved to Somerset. Sherman from 1823 to 1827, was one of the supreme judges. He resided at Lancaster. Gen. Sherman and Senator Sherman are two of his sons. October term, 1819, shows the names of Smith, Vinton, and -Emerson. Vinton lived in Gallipolis, served many years in Congress, and was Whig candidate for governor in 1851; 1820 presents the names of Adams and Stanbery. William A. Adams is still living in Covington, Kentucky. He lived in Zanesville until after 1843. The Stanbery, I suppose, was William--long a resident of Newark, an elder brother of the half-blood of Henry Stanbery. In 1821, appeared the names of C. C. Gilbert, Peter Odlin, and J. B Orton. Gilbert married a daughter of Wyllis Sillman. He died November 18, 1844. His sons, Gens. C. C. Gilbert and Samuel A. Gilbert, are well known to you. Odlin went to Dayton, and became a politician of note in Montgomery county, afterward prominent in the legislature.


In 1822, and thence for half a dozen years, David Spangler practiced in Muskingum. He settled in Coshocton, and for many years led the bar there.


"I began this list," says Judge Granger, "hoping to extend it to the present time, showing the successive accessions to our bar, but I found that time would neither permit me to collect, nor impart the information required for such a purpose. I therefore, substitute brief mention of some of our more noted lawyers. Our bar began well. Wyllis Silliman, Lewis Cass and Samuel Herrick were the first three. Of Gen. Cass I have already spoken. Wyllis Silliman was born in Stratford, Connecticut, October, 8, 1777. In early manhood he emigrated to Western Virginia, and during the heated struggle for the presidency between Adams and Jefferson, in 1800, he there edited a strong Federal newspaper. Judge Burnet (one of Ohio,s early supreme judges) wrote of him as follows: 'By' a, very great exertion of energy and talent he had been able for some time to sustain himself in the midst of a highly Democratic population, but, as the catastrophe of that struggle approached, party violence became too strong for resistance, or endurance, and he found it prudent to make a hasty retreat to Marietta. I shall never forget the pleasure with which I took him by the hand as a persecuted patriot, at our first meeting in Marietta. Mr. Silliman,s talents secured to him at once a full share of the practice of that county,where, after a short residence, he formed a matrimonial alliance with Miss Deborah Webster Cass, daughter of the veteran Maj. Cass, who was literally a hero of two 'wars., This marriage was at Wakatomaka, near Dresden, on January 14, 1802." In 1803, the first Ohio legislature chose Wyllis Silliman, Francis Dunlevy and Calvin Pease president judges of the three common pleas circuits, but Mr. Silliman either did not accept or very soon resigned the appointment, as our records show Judge Levin Betts on our bench in the spring of 1804.


In 1805 Judge Silliman was appointed register of the Zanesville land office, and held that office as late as 1811. He moved, in 1807, to the premises fronting the northern bend of the. National road as it leaves Main street at Ninth street, so well' known in recent years as the home of Dr. A. H. Brown. The old house, not the remodeled one of to-day, was for many years the noted dwelling of Zanesville, as the Silliman homestead. There, in 1817, President Monroe, accompanied by Gen. Jacob Brown (then commander-in-chief of the armies of the United States), Gen. McComb, the victor of Plattsburg on Lake Champlain, and Gen. Lewis Cass, breakfasted while on a tour through the then West. In October, 1825, Judge Silliman was chosen to represent our county in the state senate, and sat for two years. During his term as state senator he came near being elected to the United States senate, Senator Ruggles succeeding in securing a re-election by a close vote after a heated contest. During President Jackson,s second term he appointed Judge Sil-

liman solicitor of the treasury. In 1836 he removed to Cleveland, thence to Wooster, and then to Cincinnati. But he returned to Zanesville, and died there at the residence of his son-in-law, Charles C. Gilbert, on the 13th day •of November, 1842. Judge John H. Keith, long resident at Chillicothe, but a practicing lawyer at Zanesville for some eight or ten years, sketched Mr. Silliman as a lawyer and advocate as follows: "In my judgment, he was the greatest natural orator that I have ever had the .good fortune to hear. * * * Mr. Silliman's early education was defective. He was a desultory reader of everything that came in his way. His legal attainments were not of a very high order. Indeed, he was of no use in a cause until it came to be argued. I never heard him examine a witness, or knew him to draw a pleading; all these were left to the junior counsel in the cause.. He reserved himself to the highest—the advocacy branch of the profession. He was careless and illogical; entirely indifferent to his appearance. He looked as if his clothes had been pitched on him. He had not a particle of self-esteem or vanity, and was as sportive and playful as a boy. In all criminal cases, in breach of promise and seduction cases, he was uniformly retained, and no case seemed perfect without him. I heard him speak in every variety ofcase, and after I was called to the bar I was sometimes associated with him in causes as junior counsel. His voice, his manner and style of speaking, are just as familiar to me as if now heard and saw him. But it was in great criminal cases, where life and liberty were involved, that he especially put forth his giant powers. Mr. Silliman was stout and well-formed, above middle height. Two of his sons came to the bar—George Wyllis, who died at sea while returning from Europe, and Charles Oscar, who after some years' practice in Missouri, emigrated to California, where he now resides at Watsonville, Santa Cruz county. His grandsons, Gens. C. C. and S. A. Gilbert, I have hereinbefore named.


" The other of our original legal triumvirate was Samuel Herrick. He was born in Amenia, Dutchess county New York, April 14, 1779; read law under Judge Thomas Duncan, at Carlisle, Pa., and came to the bar June 4, 1805. He appeared at August term, 1805, of Muskingum common pleas, was appointed prosecuting attorney of Guernsey county in 181o; also, in the same year, United States district attorney for Ohio, in 1812, succeeding Cass as prosecuting attorney of this county, and retaining all these offices, in 1814 becoming prosecuting, attorney of Licking county. In May 1814—during the war—he was made brigadier general of the Fourth brigade, Third division, Ohio militia; represented our district in congress from March, 1817, to March, 1821. In 1829, President Jackson again appointed him United States district attorney for .Ohio, but on June 29, 1830, he resigned that office and retired from practice. He lived at `Hill-Top,' his farm about two miles south-east of Zanesville until his death, about the first day of March, 1852, General Herrick was a successful lawyer, and this list of the offices held by him shows that he must have been a man of energy and ability, or he could not have commanded the approval of the judges who appointed him to be prosecuting attorney; of the presidents who nominated him to the district attorneyship and of the people who elected him to represent them in congress. For twenty years he was active and prominent in our community. I believe no son of his survived him. Two of his grandsons, Edward H. and Charles Allen, served as officers of volunteers in the war of the rebellion, and Edward entered our profession and now lives at Kansas City, Missouri.


" As already stated, Samuel W. Culbertson, in i8og, increased the bar of Muskingum to four. He was born in Pennsylvania, came to Zanesville shortly after his admission to the bar, and continued in active practice from 1809 to the time of his death, in June, 1840. For years he owned and resided on North Fifth street, on the premises now occupied by Mr. Daniel Applegate, and used as his office the small brick building that yet stands at the corner of the alley next north of the post office. His death was sudden the result of apoplexy, and left him sitting in his office chair. So far as I can learn; Mr. Culbertson never held any public office. His practice was large and extended over the greater part if Southeastern Ohio. In persoh he was tall neither thin nor fat, and in mind quick alert and keen. He well understood human nature, and was remarkably successful in the examination of witnesses, and in influencing juries. His speech was affected by a lisp, but such was his manner that the apparent defect was often a help to him. In all the county towns from New Philadelphia south and southeastwardley to the Ohio the older lawyers still delight to talk with Zanesville men about " Sam Culbertson, and to repeat anecdotes touching his cases. Perhaps I can take time to tell one th1t will illustrate his readiness. A client of Culbertson

had sued a client of Gen. Goddard for ren-

dering impure the water of a well by changing a drain: Witnesses differed as to the effect of the drain upon the water of the well, and Gen. Goddard exhibited to the jury some of the water in a glass and descanted upon its clearness and purity, and seemed about to carry the jury with him. Culbertson, in reply, boldly picked up the glass, reminded the jury of the General's argument, and then placing the glass upon the table, took a dollar from his pocket and clapping it down by the side of the glass, cried out, "Gentleman of the jury, I'll give General Goddard that dollar if he'll drink that glass of water." He knew that his opponent was too dignified to accept such a banter, and won a verdict, Mr. Culbertson's second son, Alexander S. B. Culbertson, came to the bar and practiced in this county at first with his father and afterwards alone, and died here. One of his daughters married Joshua Mathiot, who was a member of the Muskingum bar for eight or ten years subsequent to 1824, and then removed to Newark, and until his death, in 1849, was a leader of the Licking bar, and for a time a congressman.


" In 1810, Ebenezer Granger, an elder brother of my father came to Zanesville. He was born in Suffield, Connecticut, on July 6, 1781; studied law at Washington City, under Gideon Granger, the then postmaster general. On July 31, 1815, he married Eliza Seaman, sister of the half-blood to Henry Stanbery. After an active practice of about ten years, he died September 17, 1822. As his death occurred years before I was born, I can only speak of him from hearsay. Old lawyers whom I have met in the course of my own practice in Southeastern Ohio, led to speak of him to me because my surname was the same as his, have often told me that he was a studious, well-read able lawyer, sure, if his life had been prolonged, to take a high place in the profession, and that he was a man of honor and integrity. Towards the close of John McIntire's life, Mr. Granger was his attorney, and to him was assigned the duty of composing the epitaph of that founder and ben,efactor of our city. It may interest you to hear it read. It was inscribed upon the plain stone that first marked the grave, and is repeated upon the monument that a few years ago was substituted for the old and worn-out slab. It is as follows:


" ' Sacred to the memory of John McIntire, who departed this life July 29, 1815, aged fifty-six years. He was born at Alexandria, Virginia; laid out the town of Zanesville, in 1800, of which he was the Patron and Father. He was a member of the convention which formed the Constitution of Ohio. A kind husband; an obliging neighbor; punctual in his engagements, of liberal mind and benevolent disposition, his death was sincerely lamented.


" 'As o'er this stone you throw a careless eye,

(When drawn perchance to this sad, solemn place,)

Reader, remember—'tis your lot to die;

You, too, the gloomy realms of death must trace.

When yonder winding stream shall cease to flow,

Old ocean's waves no longer lash the shore,

When warring tempests shall forget to blow,

And these surrounding hills exist no more,

This sleeping dust, reanimate shall rise,

Bursting to life at the last trumpet's sound,

Shall bear a part in nature's grand assize,

When sun, and stirs, and time no more are found.


" Thomas Ewing, the elder, and Lewis Cass, while the one was senator, and the other secretary of war, in President Jackson's time, because of their regard for the friend and associate of their first years at the bar, of their own motion named Robert S. Granger, Ebenezer Granger's only child, to a cadetship at West Point. He there graduated in 1838, in the same class with Irvin McDowell and William J. Hardee, and as I have already stated rose to the rank of major-general by brevet at the close of the war with the rebellion.


"From 1817 to 1864,— forty-seven years,—Charles Backus Goddard was a member of our bar. He was born at Plainfield, Connecticut. His father, Calvin Goddard, lived the greater part of his life at Norwich, Connecticut, and was a judge of the supreme court of that state. Charles B. Goddard came to Ohio in 1817. He traveled from Pittsburg to Marietta in a small open row-boat; stayed a few weeks in Marietta, and then, by the advice of Mr. David Putnam, selected Zanesville as his home. He went to Gallipolis in company with Thomas Ewing, and was there admitted to the Ohio bar. Settling in Zanesville, he married Harriet Munro Conyers, daughter of the Daniel Conyers heretofore mentioned, on June 6, 1820. He soon cquired a large practice in the Muskingum valley, and continued in active professional labor to near the day of his death, which was the first day of February, 1864. In 1838-39, he represented Muskingum in the house of representatives of Ohio, and from December, 1845, until the spring of 1849, in the Ohio senate, of which last named body he was speaker, during the session of 1847-48. He was major-general of Ohio militia for a number of years. I believe he held no other public office. He was well read in both general literature and in law; indefatigable in work; earnest, dignified and forcible as an advocate; he relied more on reasoning from principle than precedents.

of Ewing, Hunter, Stanbery, and others of like repute, he was a foeman worthy of their steel. He possessed a high sense of honor, and ever sought to elevate the ethical standard and esprit du corps of the profession. He was generous and hospitable. He outlived all his early associates and rivals in the Muskingum bar; was in continuous practice much longer than any other; for many years he stood at our head, a leader worthy of the regard and respect of our whole community. An accurate portrait of him hangs in the library of the Zanesville Athenaeum.


" I will outline the life of but one more of our honored dead. John Caldwell Hazlett, son of Robert and Lucy Hazlett, was born in Newark, Ohio, September 24, 1831. His parents moved to this place in his childhood. He and I were schoolmates in Zanesville, and for a year, in 1847-48, college mates at Kenyon, Gambier, Ohio. He afterward went to the Kentucky Military Institute, at Blue Lick Springs, and there graduated with honor, in 1851. He at once began the study of law under Judge Stillwell, and came to the bar in December, 1853. He, for short periods, practiced first as my partner and then with Judge Searle, but having married Ellen, second daughter of Judge Stillwell, on December 19th, 1854, the judge retired from the bench and resumed practice with his son-in-law. In October, 1855, Mr. Hazlett was elected prosecuting attorney for this county, and was re-elected in 1857 and 1859. During the night of. Sunday, April 14-15, 1861, President Lincoln's call for 75,000 three months' volunteers was telegraphed over the country, and ere Monday's sun went down, Capt. John C. Hazlett's company was almost, if not quite, full. He reported with it at Columbus, and by the Thrusday following, as already stated, was passing by rail through Pennsylvania, en route for Washington, with his company and regiment. He was present at Gen. Schenck's reconnoissance by rail at Vienna, and afterward fought in McDowell's battle of Bull Run. Returning home in August, at the muster-out of his three-months' men he at once recruited a company for three years or the war, and with it entered the second Ohio volunteer infantry. With this regiment he served in Kentucky, Tennessee and Northern Alabama, taking part in the battles of Perryville and Stone River. At the last named fight he received the wound that caused his death; he died June 7, 1863. Capt. Hazlett was of slight frame, about five feet nine inches in height; of a quick, nervous temperament; possessed of an active and strong mind; well read, both in general literature and in law; he was ambitious of distinction, and , evinced a capacity and an aptitude for the law, that, backed by energy, perseverance and attention to business, could not have failed, if his life had been prolonged, to win for him a brilliant reputation and an assured position in the front ranks of the profession. As a prosecutor his success was marked—although he conducted, either alone, or assisted only by some newly admitted tyro, even during his first term, a number of complicated and difficult causes against counsel of distinction, great ability, and much experience. It is sad to miss this comrade as we open this temple of justice. Would that he were here with all the powers of his youth strengthened by time and use! a com petitor to excite us onward ha all the nobler contests at this bar; a comrade whose wit and intelligence would add zest to our assemblies; a friend on whose help we could rely at need.


"Others of our dead are worthy of remembrance here—but space forbids the attempt to speak of all. I must content myself with such mention as I have already made and invoke among my brethren of the bar and the people here, who know them, kind recollections of the many others of Muskingum's deserving lawyers who no longer live. Let me speak briefly of some who have gone out from us, and, by their achievements in the forum, on the bench, or in public life, have made us glad to count them as once members of the bar. Henry Stanbery, attorney general of Ohio from 1846 to 1852; attorney general of the United States 1866-68, named by President Johnson for a seat upon the-bench of the national supreme court: a lawyer of national reputation, standing in the first rank; was born here, studied law here; was admitted in 1825, and tried some of his first causes in ' Old 1809.' Noah H. Swayne,, a national Supreme Judge, since 1862, resided at Coshocton and practiced regularly in this county for several years, beginning in 1825. Hugh J. Jewett, our county's senator in 1853-55: defeated as a Democratic candidate for congress, in a Republican district, by only sixty-four votes in 1860; nominated for governor of Ohio by the Democrats in 1861, he substituted for a platform disapproved by the War Democracy, a letter of acceptance full of outspoken, patriotic devotion to the Union. A congressman from the Columbus district in 1873-74; long a prominent railroad president, and now and for some years past, the trusted president of the New York and Erie railway; lived here for many years, and was in active practice from about 1848 to 1857.


HISTORY OF MUSKINGUM COUNTY - 197


"Samuel Sullivan Cox, whose long service in congress (from 1857 to 1865, as representative from the capital district, Ohio, and since 1871, from New York city,) and his prominent position as a leader in the Democratic party, have given him a national reputation, was born in Zanesville, in October, 1824. His father, Ezekiel T. Cox, was for many years clerk of our county courts, and the son assisted his father in the discharge of the office duties. He graduated at Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island, in 1846; was admitted to the bar about 1848, and practiced at Zanesville until 1853. Washington Van Hamm, who began practice here in 1833, and was a common pleas judge, at Cincinnati, from 1857 to 1862, was born and grew to manhood here. William Wartenbee Johnson, who was common pleas judge in the Lawrence district, from 1858 to 1867, and is now a judge in the supreme court commission of Ohio, was born in Muskingum county, educated at Muskingum college, and studied law in the office of Judge Conyers, at the same time with myself. He was admitted to the bar while still a resident of our county.


"Our bar has grown old enough to permit fathers to see their sons practicing by their sides. Let me read you a list of the names of sons of Muskingum lawyers, who have also been members of this bar: George Wyllis Silliman, A. S. B. Culbertson, Charles A. Harper, James R. Harper, Daniel Conyers Goddard, Charles C. Goddard, George Abbott James, W. C. Blocksom, Charles H. Blair, Orlando C. Marsh. In addition to those named as worthy of special note, I add here the following: Elijah Hayward, who practiced in this county in 1836, and subsequent years, was one of the judges of the supreme court of Ohio, in 1830. Royal T. Sprague, a member of our bar about 1838, became chief justice of the supreme court of California. His wife was a daughter of Judge William Blocksom, one of our associate judges. Cooper K. Watson, of 1842, was afterward a congressman from the Tiffin district, a judge of common pleas in the Huron district, and member of the constitutional convention in 1873-74. Cydnor B. Tompkins (1836) and Edward Ball -(1860,) were congressmen from Muskingum district, each serving four years. James. M. Love, who practiced here about 1843, has been for many years United States district judge for Iowa. Such an examination as I have made amongst these records of the work of your predecessors, both saddens and encourages. One after another--sometimes several together—they came upon the stage of professional life, each full of hope and expectation as to the future. The silent records picture to us the parts they played. Some few succeeded, realizing perhaps as nearly as mortals may, the hopes of their youth. More attained positions mediocre, yet respectable; some merely failed; some few were worse than 'failures, showing themselves not mere incapable or unsuccessful lawyers but bad men. I will name no one of these. If any yet live their offending is known and remembered by themselves and by some others. It is enough for this ocasion to say that the bar of Muskingum during the first seventy-two years of its life has not escaped the lot of all associations of men: that it has had unworthy members.


"But is this allotment--to one success, to others failure, the result of chance ? Not so ! Cause -and effect are plainly traceable. It seems to me that if the young beginner but ask himself at the outset, ' What should a client desire in his lawyer ? ' the easily discovered answer to the question must indicate not only the means, but also the probability of success, if the questioner knows himself. Ability (not necessarily first class—average ability will do well); legal' knowledge (knowledge of principles, of the frame work of the law) ; judgment (that most reliable of all called common sense'), caution, alias prudence ; application (this includes preservance, diligence, persistence) ; and last of all, best of all, under all, around all, above all, permeating all, integrity. These qualities, characteristics; habits, combined, will ensure success. Their entire absence will ensure failure. Between these extremes more or less of success or failure will be the lot of one and another as he approaches or recedes from this so seldom understood, yet so easy to-be-understood, standard.


"And now but a word or two more. Entering this new and beautiful temple of justice, we have thus recalled the lives of our predecessors ; let us profit by these recollections ; let us in our future ever try to so demean ourselves as lawyers and as men, as to improve upon our own past, and to equal, if possible to excel, our predecessors in all that is right."


The following list contains the names of those lawyers who have resided in Muskingum county as members of its bar. For that portion of it embracing the years 1804-77 the compiler acknowledges indebtedness to Judge Granger: 1804, Lewis Cass, Wyllis Silliman; 1805, Samuel Herrick; 1809, Samuel W.
