FOREWORD
In the prospectus announcing the proposed publication: A Standard History of Springfield and
Clark County, Dr. Benjamin F. Prince, "The Grand Old Man of Wittenberg," and for many years
president of the Clark County Historical Society, says : "As editor, my task will be to direct the
collection of all historical material that should have a permanent place in the records of the city
and country," and in order that the local editorship may be of the most representative character,
Gen. J. Warren Keifer, Judge Francis M. Hagan, and W. H. Rayner of Springfield ; Edward W.
Williams, New Carlisle ; Edward P. Flynn, South Charleston, and T. A. Busby of South Vienna,
were invited to act as advisory editors.
When the publisher's representative, Rolland Lewis Whitson, came into the community, he found
excellent response from them all, and Doctor Prince alert to every inquiry. When in the course of
human events, it becomes the privilege of a community to tabulate its record, the matter of
co-operation is a prime necessity. At the beginning a caddy en route to the country club said :
"Springfield is the best town of 60,000 population in the United States of America," and that
spirit characterized all from whom inquiry was made while tarrying in the community. In the
bibliography of the county is much stored-up information, and something has been absorbed
from all of it. Where data has been taken bodily, credit is given for it, and clippings preserved at
the rooms of the Clark County Historical Society have been available, as well as the files of local
newspapers.
Some excellent reminiscent articles have been found in newspapers, written by men and women
who have passed from earth, and it is due them that credit should be given them for their
contributions to the future of their community ; such names appear in connection with the
information gleaned from the articles. Some one says : "It is through art, music and literature that
the past lives again ; the artist, the musician and the writer make the great tapestry in the loom of
history," and the scheme has been to draw something from all of them.
It has been fittingly said : "The state that is not proud of its history will soon have no history to
be proud of," but Clark County has an unusual background in local history. "For ye have not
passed this way heretofore," says Joshua, in sacred history and it is true of the settlers who came
into the Mad River wilderness 120 years ago. Those Kentuckians cast their nets on the other side
of the ship, and their "catch" is a goodly heritage ; the fascination of exploration fastened its grip
on them, and because of their activities Clark County is now able to review its past history.
Springfield and Clark County have registered progress at almost every turn of the wheel of
fortune, and after the lapse of 120 years-1801 to 1921, the community is taking stock again ; it
has been as long in preparation for this summary as Noah was in building the Ark, which
weathered the worst storm ever recorded on the pages of history. While the gleaner
- iii -
iv - FOREWORD
has had access to all publications assembled by the Clark County Historical Society and the
Warder Free Library, he has found the waysides flanked with much first hand information, and
feels indebted to Miss Alice Burrowes of the library ; W. E. Lucas of the City Hall ; E. W.
Hawkins of the Farm Bureau, and Howard Johnson of the Sunday School Association for special
assistance rendered, beside many who are mentioned in connection with data secured from them.
While the Bible injunction: "Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow," looks into the future one who
links today with yesterday must live in retrospect, and facts have been obtained from so many
sources that to credit every whit of tabulated information would be an utter impossibility. Mr.
Lucas, Mr. Hawkins and Mr. Johnson offered favors in the way of personally conducted
excursions, and since "Seeing is believing," they rendered most helpful service.
Like the statistician, an historian does not need to possess an imagination; while a great deal of
fiction may be written around one single fact, he must deal with the facts as he finds them. While
folklore may not be accepted as history, those who know local conditions unconsciously reflect
local history. While some who have aided are not yet old, they have had a comprehensive
understanding of things, and in most instances facts have been verified with little difficulty.
A forecast of the future depends upon a knowledge of the past, and it is said that when an aged
man with an unimpaired memory dies, it is like burning a book from the library :
"Yes, it is a trait of Aged Men
To talk about Away Back When,"
and while many unwritten chapters in Clark County history are already consigned to
oblivion—buried with the pioneers who developed the country, one is often surprised by the fund
of stored-up information possessed by succeeding generations ; folklore—word of mouth from
father to son, mother to daughter ; traditions of the family are a reliable source of information.
There is always some one who knows or who has laid aside a newspaper, and the gleaner in quest
of information seems unerringly guided. "In the multitude of counsellors there is safety," and one
need not dwell in the long ago in order to write about the past in any community. While stopping
in Springfield, the publisher's representative mailed local post cards inscribed : "Bryan, Lima and
Springfield, these three abide, but the greatest of these is Springfield," and this zigzag journey
across Ohio has been pleasant pastime ; it has meant personal contact with some wideawake
citizens.
Thomas Bailey Aldrich says :
"My mind lets go a thousand things
Like dates of wars and deaths of kings,
And yet recalls the very hour—"
and that is true of aged persons interviewed in Springfield and Clark County ; the difficulty is to
marshal one's mental battalions in such preci-
FOREWORD - v
sion that they may bear at once on all quarters of the field, but since "Fools rush in where angels
fear to tread," there are venturesome spirits who undertake such tasks.
While fiction may be a rivulet of text leading from the noisy haunts of the world, winding along
through pleasant old literary gardens redolent with the choicest of intellectual blossoms, history
may at least be the log across the stream that catches some of the drift of the ages ; it has been the
province of all concerned, to dislodge some of the accumulated debris, and send it adrift again
down the river—the River of Time.—
THE AMERICAN HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
