The entire matter was placed in charge of a committee of five which organized with Mr. Chauncey B. Lane as chairman, Miss Eliza P. Reed, secretary, Messrs. R. B. Chamberlin and W. S. Lister, in charge of finances, and Miss Lena M. Carter, historian. Rev. R. T. Cross was chosen genealogist. It was never expected that the task would be un- attended with difficulties. Many perplexing problems have presented themselves, some of which are as yet unsolved. The willingness of both former and present citizens to assist financially, and also in furnishing necessary data, has been greater than it seemed wise to hope. It has developed that many records, supposedly existent, have disappeared. Consequently some subjects are treated generally rather than in detail, since even the most painstaking investigation cannot supply such a lack in a work involving the occur- rences of a century. An attempt has been made to meet the desires of the different persons who may read this book. There are not a few who made their homes in Twinsburg many years ago who may desire in these pages to live over the old days, to renew acquaintance with friends long forgotten and to pass on to their posterity an enduring account of the events of years long past. There is this generation, some of whom are descendants of the early settlers, some of later advent here, and others who know of Twinsburg only as the home of their ancestors. To those who know the present town the process by which it has evolved from the past possesses much of interest. And there are those of future generations whose unquestionable right it is to know what of character and Preface 7 endeavor have been incorporated in their inheritance from the century just now gone by. The life and work of Rev. Samuel Bissell are given rather lengthy treatment, both because of the real worth of the man and his mission, and also because of the renown given the town through his work. Furthermore, as the publication of this book has been assumed by the Samuel Bissell Memorial Library Association, it has seemed fitting that proper recognition should be rendered Rev. Mr. Bissell in these pages. Another difficulty confronting the committee was the selection of illustrations. The necessarily limited number of persons, buildings and natural scenes here portrayed were selected because it was thought they would merit the in- terest of the living and, also, of future generations. It was deemed wise to insert few pictures of the living. Against his earnest protest the committee voted to insert the picture of the chairman. Acknowledgment is gladly made of the value to the writer of the published accounts of early life in the town prepared by Mr. Ethan Ailing and Mr. Luman Lane. Mr. Samuel A. Lane's History of Summit County has also been very helpful. The opportunity is here taken to express gratitude to all who have contributed material and, in several instances, an entire chapter toward this book. Among contributors not elsewhere named are Mrs. W. C. Prentiss, Mrs. A. J. Brown, Mrs. E. B. Crouse, A. W. Elliott and Dr. R. B. Chamberlin. In addition to these are the many who have freely given valuable information, often, after much exacting research. Numberless times the many years and the active memory of Mr. Oscar A. Nichols, Twinsburg's third oldest man, have been proven of high value. Undoubtedly many inaccuracies will be discovered notwithstanding the fact that many items have been omitted because of lack of reasonable verification. No effort has been made, nor needed to be made, to give more praise to Twinsburg's citizens than is their just due. The writer entertains the feeling that if error has been made it has been in withholding rather than adding expressions of com- mendation. 8 Preface If, after having read this book, the reader shall have a warmer feeling of gratitude toward the pioneers and their successors, if he shall possess a better understanding of the business of making a thriving, respectable, law-abiding and progressive community, if he shall feel a keener sense of his responsibility as a citizen, the committee charged with the preparation of this book will feel its effort and labor have not been in vain.

Water Works Reservoir Where Big Stones Were Quarried Richardson Grove Ledges and Cave Near Reservoir Leach's Falls, in Winter NATURE'S CONTRIBUTION TO TWINSBURG Walter B. Lister SURROUNDED on all sides by hills, Twinsburg nestles comfortably in the little valley made by Tinker's creek. From above, it presents a pretty panorama of patches of green, gold, and dark brown, dotted with the black and white of houses and the red of barns, cut in all directions by the grayish-brown of the roads, while throughout the whole goes a winding path of willow-green along the serpentine course of the Tinker's. Here and there are tracts of woodland, in winter bleak and bare save for an occasional pine, in spring the brightest of greens, and turning to an artistic confusion of all colors under the witchery of fall. That is the way it now appears. A hundred years ago the picture was changed. In place of red barns and modern houses were a few log cabins. The church-spires were not there to pierce the sky. Where now are pastures and fields of corn and grain, the forest was unbroken. Where now automobiles speed along brick pavement, a little trail wandered in and out among the trees. Wild animals of all sorts were in abundance. The best authority that we have is Luman Lane, whose sketches give a good idea of the natural features of those early days. According to him the deer were so plentiful that they usually saw a number every day that they traveled in the woods. In the fall they were killed with some difficulty but in winter he says it was no uncommon thing for a hunter to bring down three or four in one day. Bears were rather common and used to kill the settlers' hogs in the woods. Wolves were frequently heard and their tracks often seen near houses. They caused a great deal of trouble by killing sheep. Luman Lane says in one place, "One night, my sheep not being safely shut up, I heard them howl as if they were rejoicing with full bellies. In the morning, on going to look at my sheep, found they had taken only four. This was not the io Twinsburg History only time they killed my sheep." Turkeys were quite num- erous and their calls could be heard in all directions upon a still morning. A hunter would select one, go as near as possible, and then imitate the call of the hen turkey, the tom-turkey would usually come near enough to shoot. Hedgehogs were common. The dogs would bite them and get their mouths full of quills which had to be im- mediately drawn out. There were some wildcats but they stayed in the deep woods and as they did no damage little attention was paid to them. Rattlesnakes were plentiful. A large yellow spotted snake which some- times measured eight or nine inches in circumference existed upon the high land and a small dark-colored" massa-sauga" upon the low land. There were no crows but great numbers of the larger ravens. We are told that the owls used to make a " hideous noise" in the night. The passenger pigeons were exceedingly abundant here. Henry Parmelee tells about their vast numbers in 1835. They would fly from the Aurora swamp, where they stayed at night, to the Northfield swamp, where they fed. Their flight so darkened the sky that chickens started for their roost. The flock was several miles wide and made such a roaring noise that one could not hear conversation ten feet away. The raccoons and black and grey squirrels destroyed considerable corn. Luman Lane says that he once saw fifty squirrels in five minutes. All of these animals were quite unafraid of man. Sometimes the felling of a tree would be answered by the howl of wolves and a deer would occasionally be browsing upon the same tree upon which a settler was chopping. Times have changed. Such conditions no longer exist. With the clearing away of the woodland many animals, before common, disappeared. Wolves, bear, deer, and rat- tlesnakes are things of the past. Foxes, which Luman Lane speaks of carelessly, as if they were too common to mention, are now rare. No one has seen a passenger pigeon for twenty years. Crows have replaced the ravens and the only turkeys we now have are domesticated. Yet nature's contributions to Twinsburg have not ceased. In fact, nowhere are her beauties better displayed. In birds, flowers, and beautiful landscape she is rich beyond all comparison. Imagine, if you can, a better field for a Nature's Contribution to Twinsburg ii nature student than the Aurora Pond district. The ledges of rock at one side, the open marshy country surrounding, and the dense tamarack bog, with a few pines and spruces scattered here and there, and with ferns three or four feet high rising upon the trunks of dead trees crossing pools of stagnant water, form a naturalist's paradise. In winter the place is rather deserted save for an occasional grouse or quail and the hawks which slip silently through the bare tamaracks on the watch for prey. If it were not for the chickadees, nuthatches, and small woodpeckers the stillness would be oppressive. In the spring when the tamaracks again show their little bundles of green needles many migratory birds make it their temporary home. Tiny wood warblers, with plumage containing all colors of the rainbow, inhabit the treetops, visible only to keen eyes and a field glass. Out on the pond the ducks can be seen, now flying overhead from one woods to another, and now settling for a moment upon the surface of the water. About a half dozen species of sparrows haunt the open fields and the birds are innumerable in the thickets. Just to provide a note of discord, a flock of blackbirds can generally be heard. In early summer the vegetation in the swamp becomes very dense and provides excellent cover for the great number of ovenbirds, which are often heard but seldom seen. In late summer swarms of insects take possession and remain until fall. Bird lovers will find some other places nearly as fruitful for observation as the Pond. A large woods crossing the Dell District road is full of life and upon an early spring morning Bissell's woods upon the Bedford road is teeming with all kinds of birds. Anyone who is deeply interested in this subject soon learns to know the local habits of the birds; that in a certain grove he is likely to find woodpeckers, in a certain thicket, thrushes, and so on. The writer has himself studied over sixty-five different species of birds in Twinsburg township and a more careful study might show over one hundred and fifty species present. The ornithologist is by no means the only one who finds Twinsburg a profitable field for investigation. While a review of the local flora would be too lengthy to permit of space here, the possibilities are unlimited for original in- 12 Twinsburg History vestigation along this line. Such places as the marshy- ground near Aurora Pond present immense numbers of plants, both marine and terrestrial. A careful study of the grasses alone there would take many months. The chance for important finds of rare or new species is great. Several years ago some plants of the pink lady's slipper, a very rare orchid, were found there. And even the ordinary "posies" which we gather on a walk through the woods are of suffi- cient number and variety to interest, surprise, and confuse one. Rock formations of many kinds exist here. The three series of ledges present an interesting field and the under- lying strata of glacier-scratched rock form landmarks of which every resident has reason to be proud. Such a survey shows that nature, while changing greatly during a century, has not done so for the worse. She re- mains today as wonderful and as sublime in her manifesta- tions as in the days of Luman Lane. Throughout the course of a hundred years an invisible force has been selecting the strongest and the fittest of all forms of life, that only those might survive. The natural features which we have now in Twinsburg are not what have been left by the devastating hand of man, but instead the finest of all that have ever existed here. The trees, the flowers, and the birds which we behold are those which have been tested in the laboratories of the outdoors and found to be the best. So it is always with nature; she never stands still, never retrogrades, but ever progresses onward by a process of evolution which moves steadily toward the ideal. We may love nature and her forms today as much as or more than the naturalists did ten decades ago. The pas- senger pigeon has gone but we bestow our affections upon the cardinal, a newcomer, and need feel no whit loser for the change. The call of the wild is stronger and more irresistible than ever. And in the glorious springtime, "When beechen buds begin to swell And woods the bluebird's warble know," he who holds close kinship with nature is drawn by an unseen longing to her bountiful domains, the woods and fields, to sit at her feet and hearken to her wisdom. Ethan Alling THE EARLY SETTLEMENT AT MILLSVILLE TO those who know the natural advantages of Twinsburg it may seem strange that it was the last township in what is now Summit County to be settled. However, the settlements in the Con necticut Western Reserve were largely a matter of chance, as departures from the established lines of travel were attended with great hazards. Naturally the water courses and old Indian trails determined most of the earlier settlements. The nearest waterway of any consequence was several miles west of Twinsburg, and the old trails led farther north or south. This fact, and a certain clannishness prevalent in newly settled regions, probably, in large measure, account for the fact that not till 1817 did the hills and valleys we love resound with the ring of the home- steader's ax. Back in Connecticut what we call Twinsburg was simply "Township Five in the Tenth Range" to the Connecticut Land Company, and as such was sold to several parties. Moses and Aaron Wilcox acquired the northern and north- eastern portion, Henry Champion the western and north- western part and Mills and Hoadley the southeastern part. The most unusual feature in the early history of the town is the fact that the first settlement was made by a boy of only sixteen years, Ethan Ailing. Fortunately we have available his own account of life in those early days. In i860 he wrote as follows: "I was born in Milford, (now Orange) Conn., five miles west of the city of New Haven, the 13 th day of August, 1800. My father, Lewis Ailing, was bred a farmer, but at my earliest recollection, was selling goods in New Haven, where he lent his name freely and suffered loss, as he afterwards told me. After his failure in the above business he took heavy jobs, building turnpike roads, etc., at the same time working a small stony farm and keeping a country tavern on the Derby Turnpike four miles west of New Haven. He was an industrious saving man but unfortunate in pecuniary matters. My mother, whose maiden name was Elizabeth ij. Twinsburg History Clark, died in New Haven, July 15, 1806, leaving two chil- dren, myself and brother Lewis, who was then about fifteen months old. From that time until my father re-married in 1809 (to Nancy Wheeler of Derby, Conn., who came and died with him in Ohio), I lived or stayed with my grand- father, uncles, etc., four miles from New Haven, and fared hard, not being much cared for by anybody. There was a school kept six months in the year about a mile from where I lived to which I was sent with my little basket containing my dinner and Webster's Easy Lesson Spelling Book, with instructions that if I passed any person older than myself to take off my hat and make a bow, rain or shine. This instruction was given at both ends of the road and its ob- servance strictly required of all school children and youth in that day. "In 1812 I had a severe sickness that made a cripple of me for more than a year and put an end to my school opportunities (which will account for my bad spelling and worse grammar), with the exception of studying the Sur- veyor's Art a few months in the fall of 18 16. In the spring of 1 8 14 my father got a situation for me in Loomis and Johnson's grocery store in New Haven, by paying my board the first year, where I stayed until the company failed in 1 8 16. Young men now expect a large salary the first year and often get more than they can earn. "In the winter of 1 8 16-17 my father sold his farm and other property and took notes which he traded off (guar- anteeing payment) to the amount of five thousand dollars to Mills and Hoadley for 1000 acres of land in Tract 3, Town- ship No. 5, Range 10, Connecticut Western Reserve, which township they, after the above trade was made, called Mills ville. A part of the notes were never paid, con- sequently we had but 400 acres of the land. "On the 3rd day of March, 18 17, 1 started for Ohio with three hired men, Zeri Ailing, Rodolphus (called Tom) Wolcott and Lex Johnson. We had a muddy road all the way except one day's travel on the ice from Buffalo to Dunkirk, and arrived at Zina Post's in Hudson on the 31st day of March. Stayed over night and the next morning went to Esquire Gideon Mills with a letter of introduction from Isaac Mills, one of the firm from which we bought the land. Early Settlement at Millsville 15 We took an early dinner with Esquire Mills and he started with us for the north town, as he called it, not having heard of its being named Millsville. From Wm. Chamberlin's we followed a line of marked trees, called Chagrin road until we came to the line of Tract No. 2 (afterwards known as the Wilcox tract), which Esquire Mills said was the center of the town. There we sat down under a beech site tree, which spot is now the exact S. E. corner of the Public Square. The lay of the land was uneven, a bad slough a few rods south of where we stopped, and nothing looked inviting to locate a village upon. We then took a southeasterly course up the creek to the falls (since called the Mills), where we found some sticks of hewed timber which had been drawn by the people of Hudson, and I believe Aurora, to build a sawmill. They had also put up a log cabin with one roof which we afterwards occupied. Thence we passed over the hill known now as the Hawkins' farm and returned to Esquire Mills'. Thus ended my first day in this town. We stayed two weeks with Esquire Mills and cleared off a piece of his old slashing to plant with corn upon shares, and in the meantime selected the hill above named to commence operations upon. Tract No. 3 had not yet been surveyed into lots but was surveyed that season by Samuel S. Baldwin, Esq., of Newburg, 0. The question having often been asked why we preferred that spot to the center I will here give the reasons. First, there we found excellent plow and grass land, water, stone, timber, sugar trees, etc. Second, the water-power at the falls was the best for miles around, probably three times the water there then that there is now, and we believed that business would center there as it had centered at Middlebury and other places regardless of the centers; and I still think there would have been a smart village built up had not the owners, Mills and Hoadley, attempted a foolish speculation by laying out a village and asking from fifty to two hundred dollars apiece for lots con- taining less than one half an acre of land, thus shutting out mechanics, etc. "On the 15 th day of April we took bed and board in the shanty at the Falls. Our stock of provisions was a barrel of poor pork that I paid Capt. Oviatt twenty-five dollars for, one bbl. of flour, eight dollars, ten bushels of potatoes, five 1 6 Twinsburg History dollars, and one gallon of whiskey, #1.50. The latter being in those days, indispensable in the best of families had to soon be replenished. Our entire cooking utensils and furniture consisted of a bake kettle without a bail, two tin bake pans, one case knife, one iron spoon, and a board, two foot by six, that was got for a door to the shanty. Each one had a jack knife and provided himself with a sharp stick fork and a clean chip plate, every meal. With these I cooked and kept house for a family of from four to six and enter- tained lots of company. Ours being the only hotel in the place we had many hungry visitors and enjoyed life first rate. "About the 20th of May Elisha Loomis and Lester Davis arrived from New Haven and stopped with us a part of the time; on the 31st of May Frederick Stanley arrived and on the 1st of July my brother Lewis, Gideon Thompson and Zenas Ailing arrived with a drove of 104 Merino sheep, having driven them from Derby, Conn., to Hudson, O., 660 miles, in thirty days. On the 7th of July my father and mother, sister Elizabeth, then seven years old, Irena Thomas, afterwards wife of Luman Lane, Amos Cook Taylor, father of Timothy Taylor, now at Macedonia, and Wilson Whitticus, the colored boy (called Tone), arrived — making in all fifteen souls from our neighborhood in Conn, that had arrived to that date, July 7th, 181 7. Two of these, however, Johnson and Davis, had returned to Connecticut. "About the first of June we raised a log house; early the next spring (1818) we built a frame barn and in the fall of that year raised and partly finished a frame house. These were the three first buildings of their kind in the township. The sawmill was erected in 1817, the gristmill in 1818. Joel N. Thompson had a distillery in operation in 1821 at the spring where O. Appleby now lives. "The average number of our family the first year was 14, mostly men; all lived and got along comfortably in a log house which had but two rooms, one below and one above, poorly chinked and not mudded at all; the fireplace without jambs calculated for wood 6 feet long. All were healthy and could eat three meals a day without inconvenience. Pro- visions were dear, except venison. In the fall of 1 8 1 7 we paid for eight poorly fatted hogs, eight dollars a hundred. The meat of a good sized deer cost only from fifty cents to a Early Settlement at Millsville 17 dollar, or less than one cent a pound. Consequently we devoured many of these noble animals. Flour was eight dollars a barrel, salt ten dollars. Goods were still higher, ^4 cotton shirting was 50 cts. a yd., calico 75 cts., etc. With the best economy we could use our money was all gone before we could raise anything to sell and when that good time came (1819) money was scarce, produce was plenty and very low, wheat being fifty cents in trade, with other grain and meat in proportion. In the fall of that year I lent Oliver Brown of Hudson eight dollars in money for a few days. When I called for it he said he would deliver me twenty-four bushels of the best white seed wheat for the debt, and did so. Every prudent man stopped making contracts to pay money. Notes were given payable at a time and place, in cattle, grain, etc., at the market price, which was not under- stood to mean exactly what the article would fetch in money but less than the trade price. The price of chopping the timber on an acre of land, ready for logging was six dollars; chopping, clearing and fencing, twenty dollars. At which price Gideon Thompson, John L. Thompson and Nathaniel Palmer (known as the Twinsburgh Land Clearing Company) chopped, cleared, and fenced some eighty acres in 1819-20." From another account we learn that Ezra Osborn arrived with his family July 1, 1817, but settled in the western part of the township. Mrs. Osborn has the dis- tinction of being the first woman to be a settler in the town. It is difficult after these hundred years to even imagine what of dissatisfaction with old conditions, yearnings for change, zest for adventure, sense of duty and other senti- ments prompted the migrations of these pioneers, but it is certain they must have been men and women of strong faith, untiring energy, and a great hope. THE NEW TOWNSHIP OF TWINSBURG THE reader has already learned that the north and northeast portion of "Township 5 "were drawn by Mos- es and Aaron Wilcox. At that time they were merchants in Killingworth, Conn. Born May n, 1770, at North Killing- worth, Conn., they had been educated in the same school had engaged in business together, had married sisters (Huldah and Mabel Lord of Killingworth) at the same time, and held their property in common. Though they did not personally visit their Ohio property till 1823, in 18 19 they made an arrangement with the settlers to name the town. For this privilege they donated six acres of land for a public square and twenty dollars toward the erection of a school- house. As they did not own the land covering the exact center of the township they set aside six acres adjacent to it. In naming the town they evidenced their oneness in feeling and called it Twinsburg. At their store in Killingworth they had for inspection by possible purchasers a map of the lots in their tract in Twinsburg, made by Jos. Darrow, also a description of each lot and a plan of the settlement at Millsville. In the spring of 1820 they sent Elijah W. Bronson to Twinsburg to act as their agent. On the east side of the square he erected a log house which was the first building at the center. In the fall of 1820 he brought his wife and Samuel Hull to Twinsburg. In 1823 the Wilcox twins came to Twinsburg. For a time they lived by themselves in a blacksmith shop that had belonged to Oliver Clark. It stood on the lot where the bank now stands. This was a temporary arrangement as that year they built on the same lot the first frame house erected at the center. In the spring of 18 19 there were enough voters in the town to effect a township organization. The commissioners of Portage county issued a proclamation and the first election was held in April, 18 19. Frederick Stanley was elected clerk and other officers were chosen. It appears that Lewis Ailing and Frederick Stanley were elected justices of the peace, but later it was learned that it was necessary to have an order from the court to appoint justices. The next fall TWINSBURG TOWN 5, RANGE 10. New Township of Twinsburg 19 Lewis Ailing and Samuel Vail were elected and commissioned as justices of the peace. In 1820 Elisha Loomis was made clerk, in 1821 Elijah W. Bronson, and in 1822 Luman Lane. In 1 8 19 occurred the first death in the township, that of the infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Chamberlain. On the 23rd of November, Maria Stanley, afterward the wife of Rev. Mr. Burton, was born, being the first white child born in Twinsburg. There were no weddings till March 19, 1821, when Eliza Dodge was married to Emery Alger by Esquire Ailing. In November, 1820, Luman Lane and Hanford White came to Twinsburg. In i860 Mr. Lane wrote a historical sketch covering the forty years he had lived in the town. The present generation is under great obligation to Mr. Lane for his work. He recorded the following as being men of 21 years or more when he arrived here: Emery Alger, Samuel Alger, Lewis Ailing, William Allin, N. S. Barnet, John Basset, Henry Bennet, E. W. Bronson, Reuben Chamberlain, Oliver Clark, Darling, Davis, John Dodge, Cyrus Hodskin, Isaiah Humphrey, Roman Humph- rey, Nester Hurlbut, Leonard Kilborn, Cotton Leech, Levi Leech, Elisha Loomis, Elias W. Mather, Josiah Myric, Noah P. Nichols, Ezra Osborn, N. J. Palmer, Perkins, Preston Pond, Lyman Richmond, — ; Sawyer, Frederick Stanley, Amos C. Taylor, Joel W. Thompson, Orrin Tucker, Asa Upson, Edwin B. Vail, Homer G. Vail, Samuel Vail. Instead of holding their lots about the square at specu- lative prices the Wilcox brothers sold them at very low figures and, as an inducement to tradesmen and mechanics to settle here, actually gave them lots for homes and shops. As a consequence of this wise policy within five or six years there were from twelve to fifteen families living near the square. In 1823 a post office was established with Moses Wilcox as postmaster. In September, 1827, the Wilcox twins died within a few hours of each other. They were taken ill on the same day, of the same disease, and were buried in the same grave. Their death at this time, when money was becoming ex- ceedingly scarce, caused a cessation of improvements in the northern part of town and this condition continued several years, but was finally relieved. 20 TWINSBURG HlSTORY To the present generation there is somewhat of glamour in the life of the pioneers. To be sure, there was freedom from some of the tiresome exactions of today, and some of the strain of the twentieth century was absent, but there were hardships little imagined today. It was a time when the race was to the strong. There was first the breaking of home ties and then the difficulty in reaching Twinsburg. A few had horses, more had oxen, but many made the trip from Connecticut on foot. Of his trip Luman Lane wrote: "We traveled on foot, bringing our packs upon our backs, from Killingworth, Conn. The last day we traveled forty-six miles. We came in what was called the Wheadon road, and saw no house between Newburgh and Twinsburgh, but was told there was one in Bedford a little way from the road. The small bushes were cut, but it was difficult to keep the road as it was in the evening. The bridge was built across Tinker's creek at the center of Bedford, but it was with difficulty we found it. On arriving at Mr. Bronson's we found Jesse Pratt, who had arrived a few days before with a team of a yoke of oxen and a horse. Joshua Post came in company with him, with an ox team to Northfield. Orin Tucker came with Mr. Post, Mr. Tucker having married Mr. Post's daughter and having been here in the spring and gone back to Saybrook." When the weary travelers reached Twinsburg the place looked little as it does today. Forests covered most of the ground. They were not well kept groves but dense woods choked with underbrush. The log cabin was usually erected on a little plot of cleared ground and more land cleared as opportunity allowed. Many settlers planned to clear a certain number of acres of timber land each year. Only the very best of the timber was saved. A most casual glance at the sturdy construction of the older buildings in the town shows us something of the lavishness with which good timber was used. What today would be called first class trees were felled and often burned to get them out of the way. Mr. Lane wrote: "The first summer I was in town, after harvest, there was a logging-bee nearly every day, except the Sab- bath, till sowing time. Sometimes it was as much as one could do to carry whiskey and water to the others in the field. Raisings of log houses and log barns were very New Township of Twinsburg 21 frequent. The whiskey bottle always passed freely around. When we began to raise buildings without whiskey there was violent opposition." So thick were the woods that it was not safe for the uninitiated to venture far from home as these incidents related by Mr. Lane prove: "People were frequently lost in the woods and sometimes remained out over night. A man once told me he lay in the woods north- east of my house. He said when night came on he tried to make a fire with his gun, lost his knife, failed to make a fire, and remained there till morning. "I once, while boiling sap in the woods half a mile from any house, heard a person call. I answered. It was before the setting of the sun. The call advanced nearer and nearer until it began to grow dark. I thought it was not a man and, having heard panther stories, began to be afraid. My fears were increased by its taking a circuitous route after I knew it must have seen the fire. I took my ax, passed cautiously out among the bushes, determined if a panther should spring upon me to give one good blow with the edge. I saw something and spoke. It answered. I found it was Mrs. Bull, the mother of Lorenzo Bull, of Solon. She had gone out to bring in the sheep. I accompanied her to the house and Hanford White went with her to Mr. Bull's. They had just commenced making a search for her. "Prof. Nutting, of Western Reserve College, when going to Solon to preach once became lost in the woods or swamp southeast of the center of Solon and remained there with his horse till morning. He laid his saddle on his feet to keep them from freezing. "One time a little before night I heard a person call. I answered. It was the wife of Reuben Henry. She was going directly towards Solon where probably she must have remained over night in the woods as it was six miles to the nearest neighbor in that direction." Other dangers lurked in the forests. Wild animals were far too prevalent for safety. Again we quote from Mr. Lane: "One evening in Nov., 1821, while living alone in the woods, I went to my nearest neighbor, Aaron Post's house. When I came out to go home we heard a dog bark some way off in the woods. We went to him, cut down a tree and killed a coon. The dog ran off but soon barked again. We 22 TwiNSBURG HlSTORY went to him, saw a bear upon a tree forty or fifty feet from the ground, the moon shining at that time. A man went for a rifle and shot the bear. "One day, as I was hunting a few rods west of Aaron Post's house, I heard dogs bark near me, they having treed a bear. I soon heard two guns, went to them and found a number of men and dogs fighting a wounded bear. One gun was then discharged near the head of the bear. It did not hit him, but he was soon killed. Here I had an opportunity to see with what ease and dexterity a bear can use its fore- legs and feet." Wolves were often heard and their tracks seen near dwellings, and many herds of sheep suffered from their depredations. Rattlesnakes were numerous. The low lands were infested with the small, dark colored massa- sauga. It is told that in 1831 Mr. Luman Lane was bitten on the foot by one, that his hired man opened the wound with his jack knife and sucked the poison out. Mr. Lane suffered the loss of much blood before the nearest physician, Dr. Town of Hudson, could give attention to his wound, and suffered from it more or less during later life. The very early homes were crude indeed. Made of logs, with one room below and a loft above, they frequently sheltered large families. A huge fireplace generously sup- plied with logs was usually the only attractive feature indoors. Sometimes the entire floor was planked, again only one corner making a place for laying the beds. Doubtless Twinsburg suffered such poor housing a shorter period of time than did the neighboring towns since it was settled later and had a sawmill in operation almost from the first. Conveniences in the home there were none. A meager supply of heavy cooking utensils and the ubiquitous spin- ning-wheel gave ample employment to the wife and daugh- ters. There was soap to be made in generous quantities, fruits to be dried, candles to be dipped, flax and wool to be spun, woven, sometimes dyed, and made into garments for the family. All sewing was done by hand and long stitches were considered disgraceful. Good health was usual, but those who settled near Loomis' Mills in 1822-3 suffered severely from "bilious, intermittent and typhus fever," scarcely an adult living New Township of Twinsburg 23 within a mile of the pond, made by damming the waters of Tinker's creek, escaped an attack, and not more than two of forty or more years recovered. Both Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Ailing succumbed and were buried in the same grave, Sept. 7, 1823. The death of Mr. Ailing was keenly felt by the community. It was a time when sickness was greatly to be dreaded. Medical attention was difficult to obtain, Drs. Israel Town and Oliver Mills of Hudson being the chief dependence in times of sickness. Though far apart the people were truly neighborly. Every one had the freedom of his neighbor's house, and when sickness or trouble came the neighbors, as a matter of course, did what was possible to alleviate pain and sorrow, even to the point of frequently transmitting in- fection to their own households. It is true our grandmothers had a considerable knowledge of the medicinal qualities of the common herbs and were skillful in their application in cases of sickness or accident. But it is also true that many and many a home was saddened by the intrusion of the grim reaper when just a little attention from a well-trained physician might have given the forces of life and health the victory. The dangers from infection and contagion were little understood and much absolutely needless sickness and suffering were endured. The mortality among the infants tells its own sad story of the difficulties and the tragedies of pioneer life. Those were times when men had time and opportunity to make the acquaintance of their real selves; to think long and decide wisely. The work necessary to be done before the early settlers could expect to be comfortable was helpful in preventing them from feeling their loneliness too acutely. Probably the summers were fairly pleasant but the long winter months, before the roads were well denned and social life well established, must surely have tried their souls. But the greatest hardship to the settlers was the scarcity of supplies and the lack of money. Of course there soon was corn, wheat, vegetables and maple sugar of their own pro- duction. But salt, tea, and, in fact, almost everything else had to be obtained from neighboring towns or points farther away. Transportation was very difficult and money ex- ceedingly scarce. The needs of the people kept in advance 24 Twinsburg History of their resources. Coarse three-fourths woolen cloth cost three dollars a yard, lead was twenty-five cents per pound, nails one shilling per pound, and poor at that. Mr. Lane's experience was not so very unusual: "After I got to Twins- burgh I wanted an ax to work with. I went to Hudson through the mud to buy one. I got one by paying two dol- lars and a quarter. I then ground it; in a few hours I broke it. Then I went to Newburgh, bought a piece of steel (the road being mostly through the woods), then to Hudson to get it put on the ax; then ground the ax — it failed again; bought another — that failed; got it fixed again. We used to go to Capt. Alger's to grind ; he lived where Nelson Upson now does. I then wrote to my father in Connecticut to send me two axes, which he did by Aaron Post who came to Twinsburgh July 27, 182 1. A chopper would chop an acre for an ax which he knew was good. The price of chopping an acre was six dollars." As produce became more plentiful the price lowered and money became even more difficult to obtain. Notes were given payable in stock or produce, due at some future day. A number who had purchased farms and agreed to pay six or seven dollars an acre for them found they could not pay, and left the township. Some of these farms with all the improvements upon them were afterwards sold for three dollars an acre. In 1825 butter made in Twinsburg sold for eight cents per pound, and cheese for five. Of course many failed to meet their obligations at the time agreed upon. It is told of Esq. Hudson that in 1828, when meeting with some disappointment in such a matter, he said, "It would take as many Twinsburgh men to make a reliable man as humming birds to make a tom-turkey." However, most of the obliga- tions were met in full a little later. We would expect that a town settled largely by Con- necticut folk would not long be content without a church or school. A log schoolhouse was erected on the square in 1822. How the expense, save the twenty dollars from the Wilcox twins, was met we do not know. It was the first public building in the town. About this time the newly formed Congregational Society agreed to build on the square a two story house, the lower to be used for a school and the New Township of Twinsburg 25 upper for church services. The plan did not meet with general favor as here appears : "Twinsburgh, Feb. 3d, 1823. At a meeting legally warned and held at the school- house, in the center of s'd town — voted, that the public square shall remain unoccupied by any public buildings at present. Luman Lane, Clerk." Evidently the word present was interpreted literally for after an interval of time a one story house was erected. It was moved twice and then torn down. The first school teacher in town was Lavina Merriam who later married Junia North. It is said that "people frequently went to meeting with ox teams; their clothes not very good, some- times much patched, and in summer the men were sometimes barefoot." It is a matter of record that the first captain of the military company was Elisha Loomis, the second Joseph Myrick and the third Asa Upson. While Asa Upson was captain, probably about 1823, arrangements were made for the company to march from the center to his father, Saul Upson's place, and take dinner in his new frame barn. With the idea of having some diversion on the way a subordinate officer was given liberty to select a number of men who should go on ahead and act as Indians. After giving the "Indians" time to get well ahead the remainder of the company proceeded on the march. Though they kept a sharp lookout nothing was seen of the enemy. They began to wonder what could have happened to the "redskins" when suddenly the latter sprang from ambush, seized the captain before he could use his sword, and in less than half a minute the well formed company resembled a flock of sheep scared by wolves. By the time the barn was reached the few prisoners had obtained their liberty. Of course, Capt. Upson and his men were the subjects of much raillery from the victorious braves, but we are told that both, friend and foe did ample justice to the dinner of roast pig, turkey, chicken pies, and countless other good things. The later history of the military company is not positively known. It is certain that Horace Norton and 26 Twinsburg History James Brown were captains sometime in the early forties. Mr. A. J. Brown has in his possession the commission re- ceived by his father, James Brown, in which he is promoted to the Lieutenant Colonelship of the 1st I. Reg., 3rd Brigade, 20th Division of the Militia of Ohio. It is dated Jan. 4, 1844, and signed by Wilson Shannon, Gov., and W. S. Wane, Sec. of State. The commission was for seven years, but not long after its issuance the militia law was repealed. Another captain was George Dodge. His rifle is now in the possession of his son, Albert Dodge. The captain's dress consisted of a blue suit, with brass buttons and epaulets, and a long white feather in the hat. He wore a sword and Capt. Brown had also a bass drum. For many years the public square was anything but beautiful, though freely used. The northeastern part was swampy and on the northern portion of the west side there was a spring from which several near-by families obtained water. A goodly number of the present citizens can re- member having drawn water from the well near that spot. The square was not fenced and animals roamed at will over it. Social privileges were such as were common to all new settlements. A six hundred mile trip into new territory is somewhat of a leveler, since the man with considerable possessions can not well bring them with him and, to a cer- tain degree, must manage much as does the man having little. Most of the heads of families were comparatively young men and their only hope of success here lay in their ability to work. They most certainly had never failing opportunities to exercise that ability. When they were not busy with their crops there were new buildings to be erected, various improvements waiting to be made, and always the forest to be cleared. Knowing they must work or fail, with true Yankee ingenuity and pluck, they managed to take their pleasure and relaxation in performing their work. Hence the logging bees, the husking bees, the paring bees and raisings. Even hunting and fishing combined pleasure with necessity. At these gatherings the women congregated and prepared the necessary viands and, according to all reports, it was no small task. On account of their small homes the women found it necessary to have their quilting bees. With New Township of Twinsburg 27 a true spirit of adaptability they managed to put much of cheer into their necessary hardships. Clothing was coarse and made to withstand hard wear rather than for adornment. The men generally wore buck- skin trousers as they were more durable than any other kind when working in the woods. Women's and children's clothes were of home manufacture. It was no little task, in addition to all her other duties, for the housewife to prepare the cloth and garments for the usual good-sized family. It does not seem strange to us that so many mothers laid down their burdens before middle age was reached. Notwithstanding their privations and hardships the pioneers struggled on, performing their daily tasks with fidelity, planning improvements, ever hoping for better things. It is not at all improbable that they enjoyed life as well as the average person does today. Under difficulties a less sturdy people would have found insuperable they laid the foundation for a superior moral and intellectual life. We of today owe them a debt of gratitude because they kept their ideals through the stress of pioneer life. Note — So many of the settlers of Twinsburg, including the Wilcox brothers, came from Killingworth, Conn., that it may be of interest to know more concerning the place. It is situated in Middlesex Co. and was settled in 1663. It was first called Hammonnasset, then Kenilworth, and finally Killingworth. The township is thirteen miles in length from north to south and about three miles in width. It is about twenty-five miles east of New Haven, and about one thousand acres on Long Island Sound is a salt marsh. There are two parishes, Killingworth and North Killingworth, the latter being rough and stony. It is possible, but not certain, that Longfellow's poem, "Birds of Killingworth," was based on a crusade once made there against several kinds of birds. There was much slaughter and few birds remained. Yale College was chartered Oct. 1701. Saybrook was decided upon as its location and Rev. Abraham Pierson, settled pastor at Killingworth, chosen as its first rector, or president. His people would not consent to his removal and until his death in 1707 the students and library were at Killingworth, while the commencements were held at Saybrook. AN ERA OF PROSPERITY IT is both natural and right to expect harvest after seedtime. It was the lure of harvest that drew the pioneers to the Western Reserve. They came planted, watered, and waited; but not long. The country was new, hard labor was freely bestowed, and results were bound to follow. The pioneers found here fertile land, a diversified soil, timber, waterways and free- stone. The question was how to turn these natural re- sources into "earthly goods." It was soon seen that the difficulty would be that of securing good markets rather than that of production. With no railroads and poor high- ways the matter was serious. In 1825 Mr. Ailing took butter to Akron where the canal locks were being constructed and sold it for eight cents per pound. In 1828 he bought the stage-line, thus transferring toTwinsburg the route from the old Cleveland to Pittsburg road through Northfield. He had also built a tavern at the center in 1826. With a stage line through the town this tavern now did a good business, furnishing a local market for considerable produce. In 1833 about one thousand dollars worth of dairy products were disposed of outside the township. By this time, after some costly experience, the people had a good understanding as to what they could raise and market profitably, and planned accordingly. Contact with people from other localities, and a tri-weekly mail gave them some idea of the demands they might reasonably hope to be called upon to meet. Probably the most prosperous twenty-five years of the town's life were those between 1835 and i860. The census reports give the population in 1833 as 670 (or 607), in 1850 as 1281 and in i860 as 1138. Those who remember the town as it was previous to i860 tell us there have since been many changes. Then, at the center all was activity. The prosperity in the surround- ing country, the Twinsburg Institute with its hundreds of students and the stage-line were the predominating factors in this condition. The activity at the center was a reflection of the progress throughout the township. At that time the net profits from agriculture were greater, in proportion to An Era of Prosperity 29 the labor expended, than they have been since. The soil was at its best, labor was cheap, the outlay for machinery was negligible and the standards of living were on a less expensive plane. Consequently the man who prospered had money with which to build substantial buildings, to invest, or lay away for the eventide of life. Yet travel was difficult. What are now nearby cities were then reached only after hours of wearisome travel. As a consequence the busy matron only infrequently went farther from home than to the center. Occasionally the farmer would take a load of produce to Cleveland or Akron and bring back some supplies in bulk. But articles of lesser importance, but much more frequently purchased, were obtained at the center. Some understanding of conditions throughout the town- ship during this era may be gained from a list of business, mechanical and professional men in Twinsburg in i860. At that time S. H. Bishop and Son, A. L. Nelson and Co., Hart, Stevens and Co., Osmon Riley, and James Hill were dealers in dry goods. Andrews and Ingersol sold groceries and produce, Edward Crouse dealt in stoves and tinware, while John and Peter Madden were merchant tailors. Elmore CI irk was hotel keeper at that time. J. W. Harlow and J. P. Garzee were blacksmiths; James Alexander and Albert Upson were carriage makers; C. O. Stimson made harness. There were four shoemakers : Henry Livingston, Eli Holmes, Nelson Hinkston and Lot Griffith. Of carpenters and joiners there were William Clark, T. F. Riley, David Riley, Robt. Powers and Edwin Barber. John Williams is named as a cabinet maker, Frederick Stanley as a mason, and Eli Thompson and A. C. Doan are called stone masons. Chas. Bock and Jos. Isler were coopers. J. W. Fessenden is named as the only artist in town. The spiritual welfare of the community was watched over by Revs. Kennedy, Bryant, and Henderson, who preached each Sunday in well filled churches. The sick were cared for by four physicians: J. G. Stearns, S. A. Collins, A. P. Clark, and S. A. Freeman. At this time the Twinsburg Institute was housed in the old building at the southeast corner of the square. In the late fifties the attendance showed some decrease, though not 3o Twinsburg History much. About three-fourths of the out-of-town students boarded in the homes about the center. Water from the springs nearby had been piped to the Institute and many homes. In the early fifties the stage-line was discontinued. The mail was then brought daily from Macedonia . In 1 860, A. L. Nelson was postmaster. The opening of the Cleveland and Pittsburg R. R. through Macedonia in 185 1 caused much traffic on the west road and accordingly reduced that on the Cleveland road. Even so late as i860 the square was still a common. People drove across at will with whatever vehicles they chanced to possess. Some attempts at grading had been made. In 185 1 Zeno Parmelee received about three hundred dollars for labor on the grounds, but as yet it was barren of trees. Away from the center the town was more closely settled than now. The log houses had mostly been replaced by frame and, sometimes, stone houses. These new homes usually sheltered good sized families. At that time houses were constructed with regard for durability, not convenience as now understood. There was usually a fairly large cellar, none too well lighted, with a dirt floor. Here were kept the winter's supply of vegetables and fruits, the pickles, pre- serves, cider, vinegar, and soft soap. The glass fruit jar was almost unknown. Fruits were usually dried or made into thick preserves, though some were canned in stone or glass bottles, being sealed with red sealing wax. Usually, though not always, stairs of some description led to the first floor. Here might be found a kitchen, pantry, sitting-room, one or two bedrooms, and a "square" room. The kitchen generally served also as dining-room and was uncarpeted. The whiteness of the floor determined the reputation of the housewife in the neighborhood. In the earliest houses there were sometimes huge brick ovens built in the kitchen. In those homes baking day was an event, and a not very popu- lar one with the boy whose task it was to bring the wood, good hickory preferred, to heat the oven. But those who partook of the Indian bread, baked pork and beans, and other toothsome articles of food cooked in these ovens, say An Era of Prosperity 31 the results justified the labor. Nevertheless, they were superseded by the "elevated oven" type of cook stove, more convenient and with a less voracious appetite for good wood. Tables were of the drop-leaf pattern and when they proved inadequate to the occasion resource was had to good long boards. Chairs were of wood and constructed for hard service. Cooking utensils were of iron. Copper and pewter had some special uses. The dishes were heavy and ordi- narily had all-over decorations in gray, blues, or brown. There might have been carefully put out of harm's way some choice china, but it seldom saw service. Even the glassware was of heavy design. Steel knives and forks were in use, the best ones having choice handles. German silver was often used in spoons, though good solid silver spoons were frequent. Considerable ingenuity was frequently exer- cised in secreting these same spoons when the mistress desired to go away from home. Many matrons always took their spoons with them when leaving the house unoccupied for the day. The table napery was not infrequently of home manufacture. The fare was plain but would not today be called inexpensive. Vegetables were home-grown and meats home-cured. For fresh meats poultry was freely used, or the farmer would kill a sheep or pig. He sometimes shared this fresh meat with a neighbor who would later repay him in kind. Both corn and wheat were freely used in breads. In those days the farmer took grain to mill and returned with flour. The "patent process" was not invented and all of the kernel of wheat was used in some form. Salt rising bread was common and the yeast cake unknown. Fruits were used largely in the dried form. Apples and small fruits were fair and free from worms. Some years peaches were as plentiful as apples and large quantities would be left un- picked. Maple sugar or dark brown sugar was commonly used, white sugar being classed as a luxury. With plenty of eggs, milk, cream, home-made butter and cheese the cooks of those days made an enviable reputation for themselves in spite of many adverse circumstances. It is not inconceivable that the conveniences of the up-to-date kitchen might con- fuse the matron of olden times fully as much as the make- shifts of those days would handicap the housekeeper of the present day. £2 Twinsburg History Although lard and kerosene lamps were introduced, the tallow candle was the chief reliance for artificial light during this period. Once the candles were made by the process of dipping the wicks repeatedly in tallow, but candle molds later came into use to the joy of the busy housekeeper. The earlier lanterns were of perforated tin, and later, four-sided glass ones were used. With both the tallow candle furnished the light. It was the custom to caution the scholars who attended the spelling schools to be sure to bring their candles. These candles were inserted in blocks of wood about four inches square. A short narrow board with a hole bored near the upper end was nailed to the block, and this wall candle hung on a nail in the schoolroom. For reasons not now seeming reasonable there was frequently a step from the kitchen into the next room. The sitting-room floor was covered with a rag carpet and fur- nished for comfort, but the front, or best, room was for appearance's sake only. It might boast a "store" carpet, have cane-seated or horsehair chairs and a few other fur- nishings, but it was kept darkened, being opened to be swept and dusted, and was used only for very special occa- sions, such as funerals, pastoral visitations and weddings. The bedrooms were commonly very small, but what the rooms lacked in size was more than offset by the voluminous feather beds found therein. The number and quality of goose feather beds in a housewife's possession was an indica- tion of her thrift and prosperity. It was not uncommon to give each daughter a feather bed and pair of pillows when she was beginning housekeeping in her own home. Bed- springs were unthought of, all the bedsteads being corded. Fireplaces were commonly built in the houses but in their absence large box stoves were used. These were also used in the schools and churches. Wall paper was used very little, whitewash being uni- versally used. Sand, whitewash and soft soap were the cleansers of that era. Windows were composed of small panes of glass, anything larger was supposed to be certain to break too easily for practical use. The housewife was almost sure to have stored safely away a goodly supply of herbs for use in case of sickness, and An Era of Prosperity 3^3 not infrequently her skill at such times was proved to be of unusual quality. Close by or adjoining the house there was often a milk house, or room, which was the scene of much activity. A smokehouse, granary and one or more barns, without base- ments, completed the array of buildings. There was almost no machinery, nearly all kinds of farm work being done with simple tools. The farms were composed of small fields fenced with rails, the garden often being enclosed with pickets. Even the gardens differed from those of the present. Tomatoes were by many considered harmful and the smaller vegetables were little known. Much use was made too of the smaller fruits. Wild berries were cultivated by many. The location of many an old home is marked now by a few stones and a lonely currant bush. Love of the beautiful found expression in the culture of flowers and shrubs. Perennials were favorites but other flowers demanding more work and time were not neglected. Lilacs, snow-balls, cinnamon roses, holly hocks, bleeding hearts, tiger lilies, peonies, four o'clocks, tulips, larkspur, poppies, daffodils, jonquils and many, many others had admiring friends. The lawns of today were only door yards in those busy times. Water was obtained from wells or springs. Where cisterns were in use they were often made of oak planks, as were most of the drains not left open. Great efforts were made to keep everything about the home clean and whole- some. Dirt was considered a disgrace but, unfortunately, everything detrimental to health was not classed as dirt. As a result epidemics were all too frequent. Diseases easily preventable now were then looked upon as visitations of Providence. It is rather startling to learn that pulmonary diseases were, for at least several years, responsible for nearly half of the mortality in town caused by disease. As people prospered they gave more attention to the matter of clothes. For common wear, cloth of home maun- facture was used, but for Sunday and gala occasions some- thing better was desired and the merchants were glad to supply the need. Style was by no means ignored, but 34 Twinsburg History fortunately it was not so changeable as now. Men as well as women bowed to its dictates. A good dress would serve for years, and as all the sewing was done by hand this was well. The men wore much broadcloth, fancy vests, and a few were the proud possessors of silk hats. Children's clothes were patterned after those of their elders, much woolen and linen goods being used. Both boys and girls wore leather boots, and few things were supposed to thrill a boy's soul as did the possession of his first pair of red-topped bocts. Shoes were made of calfskin or cowhide and had to be kept well-greased to make them impervious to water. In many families it was the custom to have the shoemaker come to the house once a year and "fit out" the entire family with shoes. Stockings and socks were knitted at home, usually from home-grown wool. No one so long as she could knit need feel herself useless or a burden. The center was the common meeting point for the entire town, yet each neighborhood had its own life, centering usually about the school building. Difficulty in travel and mutual dependence in sickness and times of stress made this necessary as well as desirable. A notable feature of those days was the spelling-school with one district arrayed against another, sometimes township against township. During this period the Twinsburg Institute was enjoying its greatest prosperity and its exhibitions and concerts were great attractions. There seems to have been little dearth of other social attractions. The hotel was the scene of many social func- tions, the one of March 9, 1853, being decidedly unusual. That day four of Twinsburg's young men were married, the brides all being from out of town. In the evening a great party was given in the hotel. The invitations were printed in New York and about three hundred guests including all the officiating ministers were present. In deference to the wishes of the brides the grooms hired the bar for the evening and closed it. The dining-room was enlarged for the occa- sion, enabling two hundred to be seated at one time. The party broke up about midnight, but some of the young people danced two hours longer. Those who came from the Institute could not get to their rooms until morning. Mrs. Sarah Henry Turner remembers that incident well. The An Era of Prosperity 35 four couples were: Israel Lewis Cannon and Ruth Skeels of Bedford, Hoadly Ailing and Mary Jane Webb of Newburg, Edwin Parmelee and Mary Hathaway of Independence, Rufus Bailey and Sarah Richardson of Bedford. Mrs. Lewis Cannon is the only one still living in Twinsburg, though both Mr. and Mrs. Rufus Bailey still survive. Hiram Kelly was proprietor of the hotel at that time. It was in 1852 that Barnum brought his circus to Twinsburg. It was the first season he had Tom Thumb (Charles S. Stratton) on exhibition. Tom Thumb was then fourteen years of age, less than two feet tall, and weighed sixteen pounds. The circus tent was so crowded that there was no room for the circus. It is not surprising to hear that the people called Barnum a humbug. Nevertheless he had their money — and kept it. The Harrison-Tyler presidential campaign in 1840 was the first of the American spectacular political campaigns, and Twinsburg did her best to give impetus to the move- ment. A log cabin and a high liberty pole were raised near the center of the square and, of course, a barrel of cider was placed beside the cabin. Wooden bowls were provided for drinking the cider. The boys had a small log cabin close by the large one. A company of forty men, each with a red flannel patch on his left shoulder, rode horseback to Ravenna to a political mass meeting. Their banner bore the in- scription : "With the patriot Harrison We will storm Mat's garrison." "Tippecanoe and Tyler too" was the slogan of the Whigs who called the Democrats Loco-focos. Excitement ran high. Communication was slow and reliable information as to distant affairs difficult to obtain. While local condi- tions may have colored their opinions the people gave evi- dence of a commendable spirit of patriotism in that they viewed the political situation from a national rather than a provincial standpoint. Previous to 1840 Ravenna was the county seat and Twinsburg a part of Portage county. Summit's first county fair was held in 1850, but Akron was too distant to be popu- larly visited and in the early fifties Twinsburg arranged for a township fair. This led to the organization of the Union 36 Twinsburg History Agricultural Society, which held fairs in Twinsburg until 1871. It is undoubtedly tr le that with some folk prosperity as well as hardship leads to discontent. Such was the case in the late fifties. The desire to better one's condition is not easily satisfied and furthermore, other causes were contri- buting toward a feeling of unrest. A farm that sufficed for a pioneer and his young family was inadequate when the children were grown and had families of their own. No longer could farms be obtained by simply clearing more forest, yet new homes must be found. The so-called western lands were very cheap and ace irdingly attractive. Several families left Twinsburg to try their fortunes in new fields, most of them going to Hopkins, Mich. Among those who went there were Chauncey, Harvey, William, Maria, Cath- erine, and Hannah White; Josiah, James, William, Edwin and Mary Parmelee; John, Robert, Philander and Olive Baird; Pliny and Aurelia Tucker, Albert Lane and Fred- erick Stanley. It is difficult after the lapse of so many years to realize the changes that took place during the first forty years of Twinsburg's existence. Yet of those who came to Twins- brug in 18 17 only Ethan Ailing, Lewis Ailing, and Frederick Stanley remained in i860, Mr. Stanley being the only man in Twinsburg who had voted in the first township election in 1 8 19, and he later moved to Michigan. Mr. Ethan Ailing lived till April 22, 1868, having been a resident of Twinsburg fifty-one years and one week. In i860 the average age of the men in town who were at the head of families was forty-three years. The average family consisted of about five and one-half members. The following list of heads of families living in Twinsburg in i860 is taken from the records made by Mr. Ethan Ailing that year: James and Margeret Alexander, Ethan and Eliza Ailing, Ethan L. and Electa Ailing, Lewis and Huldah Ailing, Emanuel R. and Frances Andrew, William and Adeline Andrews, Odell and Eliza Appleby, Nathaniel and Alice Bailey, Henry and Amanda Baldwin, Edwin B. and Cynthia Barber, Horace and Vervelia Barber, Jarvis and Emmeline Barber, Lewis and Matilda Barber, Sophia Bar- An Era of Prosperity 37 ber, Frederick and Mary Jane Barney, Deborah Beardsley, Elam and Sarah Bennett, Henry and Fanny Bennett, Lewis and Clorinda Bidlock, A.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE TWINSBURG PUBLIC SCHOOLS E. S. Kerr TWINSBURG has had good schools throughout its history. The pioneers who settled the town came imbued with New England standards of a high order. The influence of Connecticut ideals has been felt in every period of the school history of the town and no doubt has been a controlling factor. Emphasis has been placed upon education to such an extent that always Twinsburg has had commendable schools. The first school building was built in 1822 on the public square. Moses and Aaron Wilcox, who donated the square to the town, contributed twenty dollars in money for the building. This building served as church, school and town hall. Lavina Merriam was the first teacher. Another build- ing was built on the northeast corner of the square and later moved to the west side of the square where it was destroyed by "Loco-Focos" because anti-slavery meetings were held in it. The desks consisted of a wide shelf around the wall which the pupils faced. They sat upon long benches. Those in the front of the room were smaller for the younger pupils. The studies pursued were the three R's. Punish- ment for misdemeanors consisted in holding out the palm of the hand for a few strokes of the ferule. After this build- ing was torn down, school was held in the M. E. church. The township was divided into ten school districts about 1835. Log schoolhouses were built in each district. In 1853 the township was redistricted and a map showing the new districts was prepared by C. W. Mathers, town clerk. The new districts were larger than the original districts and consequently fewer in number. At this time new school buildings were erected in nearly all the districts. The average cost of a school building was four hundred dollars. This period was one of a new awakening along educational lines. Teachers' wages ranged from eight to twelve dollars per month. Increased interest in school affairs resulted in rapid progress. The Board of Education of which Robert Dunshee was chairman, subscribed for and began to read the Development of Public Schools 41 "Journal of Education." In these days the Board of Educa- tion usually held their meetings in the basement of one of the churches. Records show that Board meetings were held in the Methodist and Congregational churches. As might be expected the school at the center, district No. 1, because of its larger enrollment and leadership, has occupied the center of the stage. After the destruction of the school building by the "Loco Focos" and while school was being held in the M. E. church, the Board made re- peated efforts to purchase the Free Will Baptist church for a school building, but without avail. The Board then pur- chased the old church, later known as Lyceum Hall, on the east side of the square. School was held in this building until 1885. The building still stands and is owned at present by Miss Alford. In 1885 a bond issue for a new building carried and work was immediately begun on the new building which is the one occupied at present. At this time the Board of Education was composed of the following men : Dr. S. Freeman, pres., P. W. Gott, J. T. Hempstead, Frank Post, L. H. Oviatt and O. E. Chamberlain. The first superintendent to teach in the new building was A. A. Mall who taught one year. Mr. Mall was suc- ceeded by A. W. Carrier who taught for nineteen years. Mr. Carrier's work occupies a prominent place in Twins- burg's school history. He introduced the higher branches into the school and by untiring effort and sacrifice laid the foundation of the present high school. Emphasis was placed upon mathematics as is evidenced by the fact that trigonometry was taught. Mr. Carrier conducted the first high school commencements. The first music teacher to teach in all the schools of the township was Mrs. Cleora Lane who began teaching music in 1903. Mr. Carrier was succeeded by L. G. Bean in 1906 at which time the Board of Education was composed of S. H. Crankshaw, pres., C. B. Lane, H. E. Post, Mrs. E. B. Crouse and S. C. Williams. E. J. McCreery was town clerk. Mr. Bean's administration marks the beginning of a new era in Twinsburg's schools. Under his supervision the schools were reorganized and the outlying districts were brought under supervision. The high school was standardized. The first assistant high school teacher to be employed was Miss Ruth Murdock, who 42 Twinsburg History began teaching in 1907. Mr. Bean was succeeded by H. L. Janson in 1909. Mrs. Dollie H. Bean was the first high school principal. She began teaching herein 1909. The close of the year 1909 marked the retirement of C. B. Lane from the Board of Education. Mr. Lane served the people of Twinsburg intermittently as a Board member for a period of more than forty years. His work was characterized by wisdom and foresight. To this honored citizen credit is due for the proper solution of many of the School Board's perplexing problems. The chief development of Mr. Janson's administration was the centralization of the schools. At a special election on June 4, 19 10, the people of Twinsburg voted in favor of the centralization of the schools. The Board of Education was composed of P. P. Evans, pres., Mrs. W. S. Lister, F. J. Doubrava, Dr. R. B. Chamberlin and O. H. Bennett. The school building was remodeled. The school was reorganized, placed upon a standard grade and given a first grade high school charter by the state. Messrs. C. E. Riley, O. H. Bennett and C. B. Lane bought about five acres of land adjoining the school property and gave the schools the use of it with the understanding that the School Board should finally acquire it. The teaching staff for the first year under centralization was composed of the following teachers: high school teachers, H. L. Janson, supt., Mrs. Dollie H. Bean, prin., Miss Mary Brown, assistant prin.; grade teachers, Edna Lane, Ellen Bissell, Eloda Holt, Florence Ellsworth, Effie Holt (Dell district). Mr. Janson was suc- ceeded by Mr. F. D. Green in 191 1. In 191 2 Mrs. Bean was succeeded by Miss Alberta Grant; Miss Brown was suc- ceeded by Miss Edna Lane and Miss Ruby Gall was em- ployed as special music teacher. Mr. Green resigned in March, 1913, to accept an appointment by the State. Mrs. Dollie H. Bean was chosen to complete the unfinished year. Mrs. Bean was succeeded by E. S. Kerr in 1913, Mrs. Bean succeeding Miss Grant as high school principal. Miss Mildred Moore succeeded Mrs. Bean as principal in 1914. In addition to those mentioned above the following persons have taught or are teaching in the grades of the centralized school: Frieda Schmalzle, Mary Keenan, Edna Swan, Development of Public Schools 43 Frances Moore, Lovina Caster, Ina Walton, R. T. McBride, Christine Doster, Marion Wall, W. A. Forbes (Dell district). Within the last three years some significant develop- ments of a different nature have manifested themselves. The high school classes in Agriculture have improved the school lawn. Another group built the apparatus necessary for a Chemistry department. Still another group has brought to completion a manual training shop. These im- provements and added opportunities for the children have been made possible by the excellent services rendered by the members of the present School Board which is composed of P. P. Evans, pres., O. H. Bennett, G. B. Walton, Mrs. W. S. Lister, W. H. Chamberlin, and E. J. McCreery, clerk. That the people of Twinsburg appreciate the services rendered by this Board is evidenced by the fact that every member has been re-elected and in most cases more than once. There is at present under construction on the school grounds an athletic court of magnificent proportions. This undertaking has been made possible by the contribution of Daniel R. Taylor, a former Twinsburg boy who is also to be thanked for other substantial evidences of his interest in his boyhood home. During the last ten years the Twinsburg schools have been helped in large measure by the work of W. S. Lister whose wisdom, foresight and untiring labors for Twins- burg's betterment have given him a foremost place among our worthy citizens. SAMUEL BISSELL AND THE TWINSBURG INSTITUTE Compiled almost entirely from papers in Mr. BisseWs own handwriting by his daughter, Mrs. Fanny Bis sell. FOR my father's ancestry I am largely indebted to his day-book of 1850. Concerning his father's people he writes: "My forefathers were Nonconformists, came from Somersetshire, England, and landed at Plymouth, Mass., in 1628. With others they went across the woods and settled in Windsor, Conn. My father was born in East Windsor and, when young, was left an orphan because of the death of his father in the Revolutionary War. He was brought up by his brother, Justus, and with him moved to Middlefield, Mass., at an early age." Here in 1796 he married Thankful Cheeseman. There seems to have been some romance connected with the coming to Braintree, Mass., of her ancestor, George Cheese- man, son of Lord George Cheeseman, Earl of Clifford, a Catholic. By the death in the Revolutionary War of her father, Edward Cheeseman, the family of nine children were scattered. Thankful Cheeseman at the age of six found a home in the family of Judge Niles of Braintree, Mass., where she acted as servant, having no education whatever. Later, she went with her brother to Middlefield, Mass., where occurred her marriage to Robert Bissell. And in this rough country their five children were born: Samuel, Apr. 28, 1797; Laura, May 2, 1798; Roswell, Oct. 7, 1799; David, July 4, 1802; Bianca, Apr. 6, 1804. In 1806 my grandfather, Robert Bissell, with his family were forty days on the road from Middlefield, Mass., through Penn. by way of Pittsburg to Mantua, O. Here he left the family while he went on to select the site of their future home. His choice fell upon a spot in the wilderness one mile southwest of the center of Aurora, Portage Co. He rolled up a log cabin covered with bark, without door, fireplace or chimney; destitute of floor save in one corner where were plank split out of ash on which to spread the beds. Rev. Samuel Bissell Samuel Bissell and Twinsburg Institute 45 Here, about the middle of July, one day at noon he placed his family and left them to spend the night alone. In the dead of night, while the children slept, their faithful dog gently struck grandmother with his forepaws several times, until he knew she was awake, but made no sound. An animal was heard to approach the cabin and rub itself against the corner where grandmother lay, and then go away. In the morning the children picked long black hairs from off the corner. Bruin could easily have made them his prey had he been so disposed. Here amid wild beasts, without meat, vegetables, butter or milk, having only bread and a jug of molasses brought from Massachusetts, grandfather had left them to go to Warren. He sold his team and took as partial payment a barrel of pork which, after being brought, proved unfit for use. Just so soon as my father was sufficiently strong an ax was placed in his hands, and till 1 816, he helped fell the trees and clear away the forest until sixty or more acres of dense forest were changed into fruitful fields. Grandfather was a carpenter and as such was absent from home much of the time when his health would permit. Thus it came about that more than a usual portion of the labor on the farm was performed by the children. When father was about fifteen years of age the War of 1812 took place. He wrote concerning it: "War was de- clared by our government against Great Britain. There were two great political parties: one in favor of the war called the Republican and now answering to the Democratic party; the other, called the Federalist, now answering to the Republican party who thought the differences between the nations might have been settled much better in some other way. One of our neighbors, a Republican, who had been appointed marshal with full authority, came to my father and demanded his oxen. My father remonstrated, telling him the oxen were his sole dependence in clearing his land and providing bread for his family. Although father was an invalid, it made no difference. The cattle were taken and no remuneration offered and it was not until some time after the close of the war that I rode horseback fifty miles to obtain a pittance for the privation. Such was the unfeeling 46 Twinsburg History mind toward one of another party. Party names change but does the depraved mind of man alter?" As early as 1812 father relates the following: "Went over the entire eastern part of what was then called No. 9 in tenth range. Its owner we knew not nor cared not. We drank of the big spring near Herrick's stone house and found swarms of bees in the trees not far from Mr. Riley's stone house which furnished at least one hundred pounds of honey." Following these writings I find a description of father's earliest efforts to master the common branches. "In 18 14 I rode in the rain and mud through Mantua and Shaylersville to Ravenna and there purchased a large slate which I carried choice as gold under my arm fairly shivering with the cold before I reached home. In November I began to study Arithmetic at the age of seventeen years. Fathers could hardly spare their sons in summer and only in winter could the lower branches of study be attended to. When I reached common fractions I was told they were useless and so omitted them and this practice became common. In 18 15 I began the study of English grammar being the only young man in town that attempted it; but four or five young men had gone to Pittsburg or New England for the study of the higher branches. In a short time I recited the theory of "Murray" and when I began to parse the teacher frankly confessed that he was incapable of hearing me. And now I must give it up or go a mile and a half to the pastor, Mr. Seward. I chose the latter. Beside traveling that distance I did chores enough to kill any young man of the present day." Father speaks of being in two great wolf hunts some- time in 1 8 16 or 181 7. These were held for sport and to clear the woods of wolves which were troublesome. Entire town- ships would sometimes be surrounded by the hunters. These hunts were attended with great danger although the life of constant peril from wild beasts was conducive to good markmanship. Father continues to write: "In i8.t6 through the influ- ence of the blessed Bible I united with the people of God and resolved, by the Lord's assistance, to spend my life to benefit my fellowman. For this object I needed a better education. Samuel Bissell and Twinsburg Institute 47 I urged my father to let me begin a classical course. This he very reluctantly consented to do, but only upon condition that as much time as I should spend doing this before coming of age I should make up after. Since there were no schools in this region where the higher branches were taught I walked each day a mile and a half to the residence of Mr. Seward, pastor at Aurora, and recited as he could find time to hear me. This was kept up for two years during which time I had the sole instruction of a Sabbath school of about twenty persons. "In 1 8 19, when I thought I was prepared to enter college, there was no such institution in this part of the country. A literary society had been located at Burton and chartered by the Legislature, a building was in process of erection and a man was expected to take charge of the school which was designed to be a college. Mr. Seward was one of the board of trustees and wished me to go to Burton to school. I was not pleased with the idea and determined to go to Yale. But I had no means to defray my expenses abroad. He very kindly offered to assist me if I would go to Burton and otherwise not. I was dependent and felt very unpleasantly to go counter to the advice of Mr. Seward and wept much over it. I resolved, dependent as I was, to put my trust in God and go to Yale. "With great effort my father obtained twenty dollars and a few friends gave me three more. I fixed upon the day to start expecting to walk to New Haven. Just at this time a merchant from Massachusetts came to Aurora and procured two horses on a debt, expecting to ride one and lead the other. He told me I might ride one if I would bear the expense. Since he knew of my dependence and my object and was himself an officer in the church I felt he was hard. I rode the horse to Massachusetts, starting with only twenty-three dollars. When I arrived I had spent all but five. I walked sixty miles to Hartford but my feet were so sore that I was obliged to take the stage for the remainder of the trip to New Haven. I then had about three dollars left. "With trembling steps I called upon President Day and told him from whence I came and my object, but took care not to reveal my poverty. He asked me what I had studied 48 Twinsburg History and remarked that there was some provision made for poor students after they entered college. But I was not yet pre- pared for admission. Cut off from all hopes of aid when he left off conversation, my hopes of help from man were gone and my only support was in God. I had supposed I had a friend in college who would help me, but he had gone into the country. All were strangers. I arose with a heavy heart but not desponding and, as I was turning to bid him good-bye, he said very pleasantly, 'You will make your home with us for the present' and took me into an adjacent room, saying, 'This was the study of Dr. Stiles and Dr. Dwight and there is a box containing Dr. Stiles' Hebrew manuscripts,' and there furnished me with books to finish my preparation for college. At Commencement, which took place in about four weeks, I went about forty miles to East Haddam and there remained studying till January, the beginning of the second term of the freshman year, when I was examined and ad- mitted in 1820. I had nothing on which to rely for support and had to be credited or leave. At the beginning of the last term of the freshman year I found work which paid for my board, room, fuel and light. You may well imagine the trials through which I had to struggle. In the autumn of 1821 I taught select school at Plymouth, Conn., and for three months the next fall. Then I went to Harwinton and taught three months and in 1823 six months. "By these means and with waiting on tables, hearing recitations, and some donations, I was able to receive my diploma in September, 1823, and left college free of debt. With four small trunks I took stage for Buffalo, N. Y., pay- ing double fare. There I put my property aboard a schooner that belonged to Ft. Meigs on the Maumee. Expecting my property would be left at Cleveland I started on foot to make the two hundred mile trip home. After being home a week I sent to Cleveland to learn if my property had arrived and word was returned that it had. "I asked my father for his oxen and cart to drive through the woods and mud to Cleveland. Over my ordinary clothes I put a logging frock. With food in a pillow-case and whip in hand I started at noon on Thursday, the second week in October. I drove a mile and a half when in a deep mud-hole the bow came off and away went one of the oxen. I got into Samuel Bissell and Twinsburg Institute 49 the mud half a leg deep and extracted the neap from the yoke pulling off the other bow and away went the other ox. I shouldered the yoke and put after the oxen in the woods, drove them back half a mile, put them in a lot and returned home to make a bow-pin. Then I returned, yoked up the oxen, put them on the cart, drove over to the northwestern corner of Twinsburg, and, the night coming on, stopped at a log shanty owned by Oliver Wells. The next day I arrived in Cleveland about noon and went to Merwin the chief business man and asked for my property. It had not arrived. With an oath he asked me on what I had put my property. I named the schooner when he said, 'Why did you not build a coffin and put the property in it and shove it oif into the lake ? ' "After further inquiry I found the vessel had passed Cleveland in a gale the week before and had stranded at the mouth of Black River. Thinking the vessel might be left there I resolved to drive on. In the meantime two mission- aries, Alvin Coe and wife, who had made their way from Vernon, Trumbull County, to Cleveland on their way to spend the winter at the mission station on the Maumee above Ft. Meigs, asked the privilege of riding with me to Black river. I told them I had only a cart and oxen and a board across the box. Mrs. Coe was a very delicate woman, well educated. Many people thought them foolish to go on such an errand. They got aboard the cart and I drove on to Dover where we spent the night and the next day about the middle of the afternoon we arrived at Black river. I left the team and went six miles to the mouth of the river, found the vessel had been stranded, but had got off the day before and had taken my trunks. I started to walk back to my team but it became so dark that I stopped at a log cabin, ate a bowl of bread and milk and took the floor for my bed. In the morning I arrived at the place I had left my team, probably where Elyria now is, and spent the Sabbath. Considering the uncertainty of getting my property unless I went after it I concluded on Monday morning to drive on to Portland, now Sandusky City, where I arrived at noon Wednesday with my missionaries and then drove the team back eight miles and put them out to pasture. I returned to Portland the next morning. Leaving Mrs. Coe to go to Detroit when- 50 Twinsburg History ever opportunity should present itself, Mr. Coe concluded to walk with me seventy miles to the Maumee. Thursday morning we started and arrived at Lower Sandusky, now Fremont, at about noon on Friday and before us was the Black swamp of forty miles and with but a horsepath through and a shanty half way. We started, expecting to reach the shanty by nightfall, but failing, we lay in the woods sheltering ourselves as well as we could under the trees for it rained and sleeted and became so cold that the snow did not melt on the leaves. About nine in the morning we came to the shanty where the woman made a cake of Indian meal and pumpkin and put it into the embers to bake. This, together with some fried wild duck, constituted the best breakfast I ever ate. It was Saturday noon and Mr. Coe said he could not endure to walk through and would stay till Monday. I inquired the way and alone started for Ft. Meigs. I waded Portage river and went on and on until I came out at dusk on the Maumee opposite Swan creek where Toledo now is. The river was wide, the wind blew a gale. There was a house on the opposite bank but I could neither be seen nor heard and was obliged to camp out for the second night on the cold bank of the river. It was so cold that for the first time that season the river froze a rod out into the stream. As early as it was worth while I went down to the brink and made all possible signs of distress. Soon a man came out of the house down to the river and came over in a canoe. Never was I so glad to see a human being. Soon after landing I pulled off my boots. My heels were so raw and inflamed that I could no longer wear my boots. It was the Sabbath, but my feet so pained me that I got but little rest. Toward evening I put some rags around my feet and walked a mile down the stream to the house of an Indian agent by the name of Stickney. He was a well educated most agreeable gentleman. He had married Molly, the oldest daughter of Gen. Stark. They had four children. The oldest daughter the mother called Molly after herself, the other daughter Indiana. The oldest son they called One, the other Two. After spending the night here I returned to Swan creek and Monday afternoon hired a horse with an Indian to take it back and rode eight miles to Ft. Meigs. Here I found Mr. Coe and the next morning bought a pair of moccasins and Samuel Bissell and Twinsburg Institute 51 walked with him to the mission station, wading the river. It was now November and the vessel had come and gone to Detroit, taking my property. "I found at the station a young man who had volunteered his services for a year to establish the station. When the year closed he was taken sick and had just recovered so far that chills had left him. He asked to go with me to Aurora on his way home to Meadville, Pa. I told him I feared the ague would return and he would be left among strangers. He insisted on going and we returned to Ft. Meigs. The vessel returned from Detroit on Friday and on Sunday morning started back. As there was no other way of getting to Detroit we both went on board. The young man had six dollars, I was then penniless. Monday morning we arrived at the mouth of the Detroit river but the wind and the cur- rent were too strong to allow the boat to go up. I hired a horse and a boy; the young man rode; I walked. We ar- rived at Detroit in the evening and found Mr. Coe at the residence of Gov. Cass. There we spent the night. The next day I found my property and on Wednesday put it aboard a vessel bound for Portland. We arrived Friday noon. The ague returned to the young man. I went for my oxen, and took on my load Saturday morning and drove eight miles, the young man having a dreadful fit of ague on the way. We spent the Sabbath very pleasantly and Mon- day morning started on. When we had gone about four miles we found the snow a foot deep and the weather very cold. I went by the side of my cattle in my moccasins through the snow and arrived in Newburg Thursday night. Friday the snow and mud would about half bear up. I was all day till night getting to Twinsburg. Here I had a bowl of bread and milk and slept on the floor. The next day I arrived home about 10 o'clock, having been gone over a month. Such were my suiferings and labor in my course of education." An autograph album and my father's diploma are perhaps the only relics of the contents of those four trunks which I possess and these I highly prize. At the end of three months he hired money and returned to Connecticut to study theology with a Rev. Hart of Plymouth and Rev. Pierce of Harwinton. He was licensed 52 Twinsburg History to preach the Gospel by Litchfield South Association in 1825. He preached his first sermon in Wolcot, Conn., then supplied for several Sabbaths the church at Waterbury, Conn. In September, 1824, he was married to Fanny Gaylord of Harwinton, Conn. In 1826 he returned to Aurora. But sometime prior to his return he was informed of the effort to locate a college at Hudson, O., and was asked, with many others in different parts of the country, to collect funds to begin the enterprise. For some time he went from door to door begging for this object and by these means the first building was erected. In this humble manner Western Reserve University had its beginnings. A few years later he gave his patrimony of one hundred acres in Aurora to the college. Still later he filled a vacancy for one year teaching in it. On returning to Aurora with his wife in the fall of 1826 he found the state of education much as ten years before, when he made the resolution to spend his life trying to do good to his fellowmen. He went to Moses Eggleston who owned the land around the center and asked to let him chop down some maple trees and cut them into wood. Mr. Eggleston assented. Accordingly, he prepared some ten cords of wood, had it hauled and deposited near what was called the old academy and then announced that on a certain day a school would commence; the tuition would be two dollars for twelve weeks and as money was very scarce he said, "You may pay me in anything you please, and when you please, and nothing if you don't please." Scholars came in very cautiously at first but before two years had passed nearly all of suitable age were present. Several began prep- aration for college, among these were two of the first three graduates from Western Reserve College. Near the end of the two years my father was invited to spend several Sabbaths in Twinsburg. He went but con- tinued teaching in Aurora. About this time he preached the funeral sermon of the twin Wilcoxes. At the end of three months the people of Twinsburg saw fit to ask him to be- come their pastor. And now I will quote from father's writings concerning his work for several years : "Dismissed my school in Aurora and moved to Twins- Samuel Bissell and Twinsburg Institute 53 burg in January, 1828. To pay me for the three months service they built a very good log block house, one half mile west of the square, which became my home for many years. In the spring of 1828 was ordained and installed pastor of the Presbyterian church and society. "Twinsburg was very new; their meeting-house was on the west side of the square nearly opposite Mr. Alexander's, a mere shell of a building with a few seats around on the outside of the room. There were about as many people as could sit around on these outside seats; in the winter it was cold and uncomfortable but before the new church was built it was crowded. On the same lot where the log block house was erected there stood also a log house 20x30, built for a shoe shop. It was very rude with rough boards for a floor and loose ones overhead. Three holes were cut out of the logs for windows of four panes each. There was a fireplace at one end built of rough stones and topped out with sticks plastered over with clay. In the fall of 1828 this was fitted up with seats and invitations were given to all youths of suitable age to attend school welcome, or, if they chose to pay, the tuition would be $2.00 per quarter. Some forty or more scholars were packed into this small space, giving ample employment to one teacher for four months in the year. This continued to be the place of school till 1831. During the first and second winters a school term of four months was held but in the winters of 1831 and 1832 I was called to teach in Western Reserve College and there was no school. "When I first came the township was comparatively new and the people generally were in very moderate circum- stances. Roads were bad and almost impassable at certain seasons of the year. Our houses were poor and our means of living pretty hard. Money was scarce and all business was transacted by barter. I borrowed #100.00 of Zeno Kent of Aurora and paid interest for two years of #40.00. It was during this period, 1831-32, that our first church was built. "In 1 83 1 the people of the church concluded to erect a building for the double purpose of meetings on the Sabbath and school during the week. They made me sole committee to raise funds for the building. They were to procure the materials and I the money needed. It was finished in 1832 54 Twinsburg History at an expense of #700.00, of which cash part I was obliged to furnish #190.00. My school was now transferred from the cabin to a comparative palace. We then proposed to board scholars from abroad at nine shillings per week, in- cluding fuel, lights and washing. Such was the beginning of Twinsburg Institute. "When the new church was erected it was likewise full. Scarcely a family in town neglected to meet on the Sabbath for public worship. I was in the habit of visiting all the families each year and the visits were pleasant and profitable. We shared the labors and hardships. Many a time we were so poor we knew not today what we should have on the morrow and often Mrs. Bissell and myself walked to Aurora to procure food to bring home in our hands. On one of these visits when we were opposite Mr. Crawford's, a bear stood in the road before us and when Bruin had gazed sufficiently long at us he took to his heels and fled. In early life I learned to follow the chase and when my father died in 1833 the old beloved rifle fell into my hands. Soon after that a flock of wild turkeys came near the door and I shot two of them and a little later a deer came into the lot nearby and paid the forfeiture of his life for his temerity. "At about this time in consequence of our common pov- erty, and feeling that help from abroad would be desirable, I went to New York and procured of Mr. Woolsey of that city, father of J. M. and President Woolsey, twenty-five acres of land as a lifelong possession of the church society. Soon after this I visited Mr. Beers of Connecticut, Com- missioner of the school fund, and induced him to relieve, as soon as possible, many of our citizens who happened to settle on a mortgaged tract (Tract No. 2) forfeited to the state of Connecticut, and who felt little heart to improve their lands as they might lose them. The settlement was satisfactorily adjusted. "At the end of the first seven years I had received not above #75.00 per year as a salary and all was returned in one way or another. The little church of twelve members, I think, had increased to an hundred and fifty." But meanwhile a storm cloud had been slowly gathering over the church, brought on by the various opinions held by its members concerning the temperance question. Father's Samuel Bissell and Twinsburg Institute 55 views were strongly for temperance and as to the need of reform at that time you have only to read "Twinsburg from 1 8 17 by Ethan Ailing and from 1820 by Luman Lane." Yet on account of the trials and controversies that were the outgrowth of these opinions father was dismissed and went to Edinburg where he had been invited in the fall of 1835. As to school and church privileges they were in much the same condition as he had found Twinsburg and he resolved to give the youth of Edinburg the privileges of more than a common school education. He first went to Pittsburg and purchased $100.00 worth of books, then opened the school loaning the books to those who came. More than fifty were on hand and profited by the privilege expecting to pay $2.25 per quarter. The tuition the first four months fell short of the cost of the books. In the course of a year and a half nearly all the youth availed themselves of the privilege. In the fall of 1837 the church invited him back to Twins- burg. He returned and then a series of persecutions fol- lowed that are not very common these days. Out of them grew the second church over which father was pastor till 1843 when he resigned to better look after the interests of the growing school which he had resumed upon returning to Twinsburg. At this time began three regular terms in a school year of forty weeks. Concerning the growth of the school father wrote: "A house 20x35 was erected (where the present stone building stands), 20 feet more were soon added. Boarders from abroad came in and the numbers so increased that in August, 1843, the Tavern at the center was purchased. It was 30x50 and two stories high. Soon another building 30x50 and three stories high was added. In two more years another building 30x40 and three stories high was necessary and a year or so later the old church and academy and an intermediate building were provided. The increase from forty to three hundred pupils, including at least fifty boarders in the family, necessitated seven teachers and assistants to give instruction in German, French, vocal and instrumental music, penmanship and all the common academic studies. No charter was ever obtained and no public money appropriated. Board and tuition were so low that the most indigent found encouragement to enter the 56 Twinsburg History institution and avail themselves of its privileges. A large number were received who paid little or nothing. In 1843 three Indian youths left their forest homes about Mackinaw and Traverse Bay, Mich., and landed in Cleveland on their way to Vernon where lived the missionaries who rode with me to Sandusky City twenty years before, and who, after spending some time in Maumee and there passing from lodge to lodge among the Indians in the neighborhood of Mackinaw for several seasons, now worn out in this good service had returned in the evening of their life to their original home in Vernon. These youths called at the Institute and through a French interpreter made known their object, viz. : to find a place by the help of these mis- sionaries where they might go to school. Our doors were open to them, feeling that we were under the strongest obligation to help a poor neglected and injured people, and they went no farther. Others followed these from seven different tribes, east and west, until the whole number reached over two hundred. Most of them remained, on an average, at least a year. All boarded in the family and were supplied with books and stationery. Of these, two have been teachers in academies, one a very respectable minister of the Gospel, several have taught schools among their own people. Andrew J. Blackbird, or Mack-a-de-pe-nessy, son of a chief of the Ottawas from the northern part of Michigan, has been a national interpreter, postmaster, and soon after leaving the Institute obtained from the Michigan Legis- lature the rights of citizenship for his people in that state. He was the author of "The History of the Ottawa and Chip- pewa Indians of Michigan." Another, a Seneca, Peter Wilson by name, graduated at the head of his class of medi- cal students at Geneva, N. Y., and for years was employed by his nation as their agent at the Legislature at Albany to look after their interests; others were interpreters of mis- sionaries, one a councilor of his nation, one a teacher among the Freedmen of the South. During the War of the Rebel- lion one raised a company of sharpshooters, became their captain and fell in the battle of the Wilderness. Several others joined the army and acted a loyal part. It may be said of them as a body of youth that as large a proportion of Samuel Bissell and Twinsburg Institute 57 them have excelled as is true of an equal number of white students." In 1853 occurred the death of my grandmother, Thank- ful Cheeseman Bissell, at the ripe old age of eighty-three years. My father wrote of her: "She fairly shamed all her children in acts of hardship and heroism. Though deprived of all means of learning early she was surpassed by few in the application of what she learned late in life. In the ab- sence of physicians during those early days she deserves the highest commendation for what she did in the capacity in which she was called to act." Of indigent white youth that father made a home for, aided in their education, and in some cases bore their ex- penses in college after fitting them, their name is "Legion," and the amount expended much greater than that for the Indian youth. Among these at an early day were William C. Bissell and two sisters, children of a cousin, Orice Bissell, who had died leaving them orphans. Another was Drusilla Featherstone whom he took at nine years of age and edu- cated in music. Subsequently four others of the same family were with them and did well. These are just a sample of the many that were raised in father's family though never adopted. During the period of giving instruction not less than six thousand were more or less under his care. Among these are numbered presidents and professors of colleges and theo- logical seminaries, members of Congress, governors of states, members of state legislatures, ministers, missionaries, judges, attorneys, physicians and a host of teachers in common and high schools. In i860 father wrote: "My former companion, a most faithful wife and a conscientious Christian, was attacked by a pulmonary disease; and while away from home, and watching by her bedside, and after she had closed her eyes in death, I felt that there was no hope of escaping bank- ruptcy for my indebtedness was not less than six thousand dollars, and I had no means to pay. I said to a friend, " I see no way but to assign what I have to creditors." After I had labored so long, to fail was almost too much to bear. For the moment I was disheartened. I thought of past and trying days and reflected that, trusting in the Lord, I had passed 58 Twinsburg History through all difficulties. I resolved that I would cast myself on God and do my duty. Claim after claim was left for collection and in every case, at the end of the stay of judg- ment, principal and interest were paid. At length I sold the Institution and buildings and nearly completed every pay- ment. Three hundred dollars were saved with which I was determined to build a house in which I might still continue the business of instruction. Thus the stone house was erected, largely with my own hands and the donations of old friends and pupils." Although the adoption of the free school system by the state, and the breaking out of the Civil War greatly reduced the numbers in attendance, he continued, with the assistance of his second wife, Cynthia Amelia Sikes, a most worthy helper as well as teacher in the school, his life long labors almost to the last. He passed away at his home south of the center at the ripe old age of 98 yrs. and 4 mos. Thus the career of the founder of Twinsburg Institute was ended. It had its foun- dation in prayer, the superstructure was reared in faith and corresponding works, and all was under the fostering care of God to whom he always ascribed the honor of the ac- complishment. Additional Facts As a rule, school catalogues are not considered very interesting reading matter, but surely some of the catalogues issued when the Twinsburg Institute was at the zenith of its popularity must be made an exception. It is a matter of regret that some of these catalogues cannot be here repro- duced. Through them the unusual personality of Rev. Mr. Bissell is unconsciously made clear to the reader. In one of them for the year commencing April 9, 1849, and ending March 9, 1850, the summary gives the attend- ance of gentlemen as 204, and ladies as 106. Thirty towns and three states are represented. As to the studies we read: "Instruction will be given in Greek, Latin, French, and German; in Algebra, Geom- etry, Trigonometry, Mensuration, Surveying and Naviga- tion; in Natural, Moral and Mental Philosophy; Chemistry, Rhetoric, Logic, Astronomy, Mineralogy, Geology and Physiology; In Geography, English Grammar, Arithmetic, Samuel Bissell and Twinsburg Institute 59 Reading, Spelling, Definition, Penmanship and Book Keep- ing. Also in Vocal Music, Music on the Piano, Melodeon, Flute, Violin, Violincello, etc. In Drawing and Painting. Besides there will be weekly exercises in Declamation, Elo- cution, and Composition, together with the benefit of a Lyceum. The most approved works in all the above branches will be used. Effort is now being made to add a Library and suitable Philosophical, Chemical and Musical Apparatus, and such other conveniences as shall contribute to its greatest usefulness." As to location we learn: "The Institution is situated in the village of Twins- burgh, Summit Co., Ohio, five miles from Western Reserve College, on the road from Cleveland to Pittsburgh, nineteen miles from the former, with a Daily Stage both ways. A Plank Road will be made to Cleveland the present season. "The buildings of the Institution will accommodate 75 boarders, generally with but two in a room, with a Kitch- en, Dining Hall, spacious Halls for study, Music, and Recitation Rooms. The best water in the world has recently been brought to the Institution in pipes, which very greatly conduces to health and comfort. It is surrounded by an industrious, moral, and thriving population. A residence of more than 20 years in the place has proved it healthy almost without a parallel." Under Sessions and Vacations we read: "The year is divided into three sessions. The first will commence on the second Monday in April and continue 12 weeks; then there will be a vacation of 6 weeks for the accommodation of the farmer to secure his crops, and for the student to derive profit from labor. Then will commence the second session of twelve weeks, after which there will be a vacation of two weeks, when the winter term of 16 weeks will begin, at the expiration of which there will be a vacation of 4 weeks to continue till the second Monday in April, making, in all, 40 weeks in the year for study." But more interesting matter is treated of under the heading of Expenses : "Board, Room, and lodging may be had at the Sem- inary from #1.00 to #1.25 per week, according to the price of provisions. 6o Twinsburg History Tuition in Greek, Latin, and the higher Mathematics . .#3.00 In the English branches only 2.50 In German and French each, extra 2.00 In lessons on Piano Forte and melodeon, each 5.00 In Music on Violin, Violincello, Flute &c, once per week 2.00 Vocal Music, Drawing and Painting Free Expenses of wood in Recitation Rooms, keeping same, ordinary repairs, &c 50 Washing will be done in the Institution at 2 cents per article. Wash dishes, pails, towels, brooms, fuel, lights, carpets and curtains, furnished by the student. If payment is delayed till the end of the term, a differ- ence of one dollar more per quarter will be made. Past experience has taught us not to extend credit, except under peculiar circumstances. There will be an examination of two days at least at the end of each session, with exhibitions in Music and other things. Parents and friends are earnestly desired to be present on these occasions." Tradition tells us that not all the students particularly enjoyed these following regulations: "Each student is expected to attend public worship where his parents or guardians shall direct. Students will not be permitted to remain in the Institu- tion who will go and come on the Sabbath, knowing the rule, nor will students be suffered to remain who shall devote any part of their time during the week to learn to dance. There will be Biblical exercises each Sabbath, on which all may attend. Every reasonable pains will be taken to guard the morals of youth, and render them comfortable, happy, and contented." In 1857-8 we notice the expenses are a trifle higher, among other things washing having advanced from 2 to 3 cents per article. Profane language and card playing has been added to the list of things that "will not be suffered," and a Library of over 600 carefully selected books acquired. The catalogues tell us little about the exhibitions, but many old students remember them as being attended from Samuel Bissell and Twinsburg Institute 6i far and near, and the following program surely shows they were quite properly named.

He so earnestly coveted success for his pupils that he could not tolerate anything which, in his opinion, would not develop the best in a student. The writer remembers hearing it said, "Those who were sent to his school thought him stern and uncompromising, but some of those whom he practically carried through school thought him 'a little lower than the angels'." Mrs. Sarah Henry Turner says: "He was a strict disciplinarian, which was necessary, as many were the pranks played. I remember once a bucket of water being placed on top a slightly opened door so that a latecomer received an unwelcome shower bath. If Mr. Bissell sus- pected a too joyful time was going on in some boarder's room his quiet step would not be heard, but a rap on the door would warn of his presence and — all would be silent within. In church he always occupied the back seat that he might see if any of his pupils were missing from services, he requesting their attendance. His Sabbath commenced Saturday at sundown and Sunday evening he and his wife began week day labors. Doors were locked at 10 p. m. and any one out later must gain admittance as best he could. At 5 a. m. the big bell rang for rising, and at 6 a. m., for break- fast. There were many assistant teachers and at 8 a. m. began the writing class conducted by Warren P. Spencer whose uncle was the originator of the Spencerian system. At meals, many times sixty, or more, sat at the long table, Mr. Bissell at the head. All stood while the blessing was said." It is related by several that on one Hallowe'en night some academy students appropriated Mr. Bissell's carriage, or stage, and drew it as far as Tinker's Creek. When they had gotten that far Mr. Bissell himself raised a curtain, put out his head and said, "Boys, I guess you have brought me far enough, now you may draw me back" — and they did so. Samuel Bissell and Twinsburg Institute 63 He had overheard all their plans and accordingly concealed himself in the carriage. It would seem from the above that a sense of humor and discipline are not always incompatible. Many people of prominence, of whom we can here name only a few were once students at the Twinsburg Institute: Emerson White, once president of De Pauw University, Ohio Commissioner of common schools, and superintendent of the Cincinnati schools; Hon. Henry McKinney, state senator for Summit-Portage district, 1869-70, since common pleas judge in Cuyahoga county; William B. Hazen, once chief of the weather bureau; Gen. Lucius Fairchild, who sometime held the office of member of Congress, governor of Wisconsin, consul at Liverpool, consul general at Paris, minister to Spain, commander of Dept. of Wisconsin G. A. R. and commander-in-chief of National Encampment G. A. R.; Gen. A. C. Voris and Hon. U. L. Marvin of Akron; Dr. Knowlton, Hons. D. W. Gage, and W. S. Kerruish of Cleveland. Of the latter it can be said that in his active appreciation of Rev. Mr. Bissell and his work he has shown himself to be a truly grateful friend. Another man not yet mentioned was Chief Pokagon, the last chief of the Pottawattamies. His father ceded to the U. S. government 1,000,000 or more acres of land including the present site of Chicago. Chief Pokagon spent the latter part of his life in efforts to obtain from the government the price agreed upon, finally securing nearly $200,000.00. He was highly educated. He spent two years at the Twinsburg Institute after leaving Oberlin College. Throughout his long life his deepest desire was expressed in his tireless efforts to keep "the white man's fire-water" from the Indian. Many have publicly proclaimed their indebtedness to Mr. Bissell for their start in life, and not a few in a sub- stantial manner remembered him when his days of activity were past. A few of the older students, inspired by Mrs. Ruth Sheels Cannon and Miss Juliette Parmelee, arranged for a gathering to celebrate the 95th birthday of Rev. Father Bissell, as all in later years called him. As many of the old students as could be reached were invited to come and bring a basket, and one dollar as a birthday gift. The large school 64 Twinsburg History room was decorated and filled with friends who rejoiced to do something to brighten his declining years and honor the faithful teacher. He was a very happy man, though nearly blind. Short talks were given by Judge Marvin, Hon. W. S. Kerruish, Henry Watterson, Chas. Lane and others. Mrs. Ruth Cannon recited an original poem, "To Our Aged Teacher." One hundred and ten dollars were left to remind Mr. Bissell of the esteem in which he was held. Mr. Bissell lived until Aug. 26, 1895, his comfort ministered to by his family, friends among his former stu- dents, and the Presbytery with which he always maintained his connection. Gracious tributes were paid at his funeral and the passing years have more and more plainly shown that they were faithfully deserved. A Retrostect It is now well nigh a century since Rev. Samuel Bissell came from Aurora, a single purpose in his heart, to serve his God by service to his fellowmen. It is not humanly possible to measure his success. To be sure, the crude cabin is now gone, Lyceum Hall is now a store-room, the old Institute building is torn down, and even the stone building of which Mr. Bissell said, "The rock of Gibraltar will as soon give way, without an earthquake," presents an altered aspect to the passerby. A thoughtless man might say that the Institute is gone. But is it? Minds were quickened and trained, new purposes were brought into life and currents of thought and action started that can be terminated only by the end of time. Twinsburg's share in this honor is that her sons and daughters, from generation to generation, availed themselves of the opportunities offered them. Comparatively few men live to experience such satisfy- ing fruition of their labors as did Mr. Bissell. He never experienced affluence; little enough the ordinary comforts of life. Yet his life was full and the sunset hours made peaceful because he had made his full contribution to society. It is to the credit of the present citizens of Twinsburg that they delight to honor the memory of this stalwart figure whose long life spanned so extensive a period of the town's development. Samuel Bissell and Twinsburg Institute 65 A TRIBUTE W. R. Rose I. "Deep in the wildwood his clearing was made; Deep in the forest his torch redly flamed; Firm in the soil his foundation was laid; Rude were the timbers he fashioned and framed. There in his temple he taught and he prayed — Voicing the mission that hosts have acclaimed. II. "Worn was the pathway that led to his door — Worn by the seekers who came from afar; Widely he scattered his bountiful store — Far shone the light of that beautiful star. Heavy the burden he cheerfully bore. Calloused the shoulder he put to the car. III. "Shadows that drift in a wavering line; Shadows that circle and halt by the wall; Shadows of seekers enriched from the mine, Learners who came at the magical call; You drew the life from the sturdy old vine — Steward and master, he gave you his all!" MUSIC WHEN man becomes domiciled in a new country there is every dependence placed upon nature, and every effort made to bend nature to meet the needs of the human family. Under such conditions one would scarcely expect to discover much activity in the pursuit of the finer arts. Yet this very struggle with nature seems to engender in man a desire to free himself from his bondage to nature, and to improve upon nature by adding something of himself to it. Our forefathers were many of them artists in their individual lines of work and, doubtless, most of them cherished the hope of a life less burdened with drudgery and replete with the more enjoyable features of life. At least we may be sure they wanted the best things in life for their children, and, mindful of the good things in their New England life, they were rather good judges of what of the old life it would be well to incorporate in the new. So we are not surprised to learn that it was possible for a singing mas- ter upon his arrival here to find plenty of material to form a singing school. The man was Luther B. Prentiss whose boyhood home was in Plainfield, Vt. He had settled in Warrensville, 0., and came from there to Twinsburg in 1823, following the marked trees through the forest. He started the first singing school held in Twinsburg and conducted its weekly meet- ings for a considerable period of time. He has the distinct- ion of having conducted the singing at the dedication of the first church in Twinsburg. When that church celebrated its fiftieth anniversary he was residing here with his son Willard C. Prentiss. He lived to be ninety-four years of age, dying in 1897. As a matter of fact, there is little positively known about musical matters during those earlier years. Mr. Samuel Bissell realized the value of music as an accomplishment, and also its desirability as a feature of his school, and early in- cluded it in his course of studies. The man who probably did the most for Twinsburg musically was an instructor in music in Mr. Bissell's school. Mr. John W. Fessenden came to Twinsburg in 1845 and began teaching music in the Twinsburg Institute, ■'" i ( -O ffi ^ £ o O O * 2 :.' 3 1 Q Q S o Z p — " ^ ^ .8§ pq w 2 :=! o - < M U *-* GO ■*-» ^ 3 r/ r o .2 ^Q Hi Q < w S Z H < ■ PQ W^ ~Q^ U-l ^~ *-< ~— * &I ^ c« 3 -O tt s c^ «u NSBU t-G.

Wednesday evenings he taught beginners the rudiments of music and inspired many to take up musical careers. Friday evenings were given over to instrumental music, and Sunday evenings were devoted to sacred music. These classes were free to every resident of the town and many availed themselves of Mr. Fessenden's instructions. At the close of each term a con- cert was given and an admission fee charged. After these concerts Mr. and Mrs. Bissell often served an oyster supper, charging only 25 cents per couple. The musical instruction offered at the Institute attracted many students from afar who came largely on account of the musical course. Aside from his work in the Twinsburg Institute he taught singing schools, bands and orchestras in several nearby towns. He gave private lessons on the violin, flute and other instruments. For a long time he had charge of the choir of the Congregational Church and under his direction it had the enviable reputation of being the best country church choir in the Western Reserve. For many years during the summer months he con- ducted singing school for the children, usually concluding the work with a juvenile concert. Many remember the cantatas given, especially the "Shepherdess" and the even more talked of one "The Flower Queen" in which Victoria Southworth took the part of the queen so beautifully that for years she went by the name of Queen Victoria. Concerts were a feature of the Twinsburg Fairs. Under the leadership of Prof. Fessenden groups of young people, selected from the best singers in the town, rendered musical selections for the entertainment of the crowds that were accustomed to attend the Twinsburg Fairs. At the fair in 1857 Emma Fessenden and her mother, Mary Fessenden, sang the duet "Ruth and Naomi." The Foster Family and Company also gave concerts at the fairs here. There are many who can be remembered as having, at some time, taught music here. The old fashioned singing school was decidedly a social institution and usually prospered. Richard Redfield had a large singing class here in i860, and about 1865 Mary Garzee (Chandler) taught a class in music. Some of the older musicians now in Twinsburg 68 Twinsburg History received their first instructions from her. A few years later Mary Prentiss (Foote) and Alice Pratt (Clark) were giving lessons in music. About 1874 Mr. Volney A. Curtiss, himself a good tenor, began conducting a singing school here and continued in this work for several years. There are many now in town who were in his classes and participated in the concerts given under his direction. Alia Fessenden (Rud- gers) for several years was a teacher of music here and was an inspiration to many musically inclined. Letella Fessen- den (Baker), another daughter of Prof. J. W. Fessenden, was a help to the town musically, being church organist and leader of music in the W. C. T. U., giving much attention to her work. To a large extent the churches have always fostered musical talent. The early churches possessed no instru- ments and few hymnals. At that period the minister often led the singing. The tuning fork was the chief reliance of the chorister and quite a commotion arose in one of the churches when the chorister took his "fiddle into church," but later, the deacon's son was playing the bass viol there. It was probably in the fifties that organs, or rather har- moniums, were introduced into the churches. Diminutive affairs that they were, they at least inaug- urated a new era in church music. Musical instruments in the home were infrequent, those in comfortable circumstances sometimes had small melo- deons. As pecuniary matters improved the melodeon increased in size, was superseded by the organ, and that in time was replaced by the piano. The first (1865) organ in town was Miss Tina Dunshee's and it is still in good condi- tion. The first piano in town for private use was Miss Stella Clark's. Today the home where there is no piano is the exception. While the older generations had their singing schools these classes later became less popular and, as private lessons were more easily obtained, about a quarter century ago were practically discontinued. It did not take the thoughtful long to discover that there were all too many possessed of some musical talent who were receiving no musical instruction. Music was ceasing to be a community affair. Only a very few were studying vocal music. The Music 69 condition was noted, discussed, but nothing of a preventive nature attempted. However, the feeling that all children ought to have an opportunity to learn something of music persisted. The solution seemed to lie with the schools and arrangements were made to have music taught therein. It was a difficult matter as there were several schools, each of several grades. Indications of good results were forth- coming surprisingly soon, and later, when the question of centralization was before the people, the argument that the centralized school would afford better opportunity for musi- cal instruction, was no little factor in the decision for centralization. Few things really test one's love of music as does the position of church chorister in a small town. There have been many in the Twinsburg churches who have spent them- selves freely in the service of the church trying to bring about better musical conditions. It would be impossible to name all even could we measure the importance of their work. In the Congregational church Zeno Parmelee led the singing for about twenty years; Josiah and Richard Red- field rendered faithful service, as did Elisha Herrick, and Luther Nichols who proved a satisfactory leader. Abner Lane spent much time and work in his leadership. Mr. and Mrs. Frank C. Lane were enthusiastic workers. Mrs. S. H. Hull was for many years a faithful organist and in later years her daughter, Mrs. Lida Beaumont, assisted in the work. Mrs. Newton Herrick and daughter, Mrs. Flora Yost, are remembered as faithful and efficient. Mr. and Mrs. S. R. Hanchett rendered faithful service in both Baptist and Congregational churches. In the Methodist church Mr. Jesse Crankshaw, Miss Esther Carter, Mr. Evelyn Parmelee and Harrison Dunshee are recalled as choir leaders. Mr. S. H. Crankshaw was chorister for twenty-six years. He was succeeded by his wife who, as Millie Norton, first played the organ in church at the age of twelve, and held the position of organist for twenty-seven years. Their daughter, Mrs. Mabel Culhan, succeeded her mother as organist. Mrs. Crankshaw began giving music lessons about forty years ago and has continued in the work until the present, being actuated primarily by love of the work, and during that time has never solicited jo Twinsburg History a pupil. Mrs. Ora Elliott is another who has been faithful as a member of the choir and as organist. Mrs. Ethel Twerell both as vocalist and pianist of more recent years has rendered efficient service. Mrs. Ethel Griste Vial is a highly accomplished musician and her removal several years ago to other fields of labor has been a distinct loss to the musical life of the town. Bands While the people of Twinsburg have ever been able to sing in time and tune other forms of musical expression have had intermittent seasons of success. Common folk can sing at any time and in any place but when dependence is placed upon reed, wind and stringed instruments for the enjoyment of music a newly settled country offers many difficulties. It was about thirty-five years after Twinsburg was settled when her first band was formed. That it was organized by Prof. Fessenden and was a success for a short time is about all that can be learned concerning it. Some of the members were: Orrin Redfield, Richard Redfield, Henry Holcomb, Hosford Hull, Aurelius Tucker, Henry Parmelee and Evelyn Parmelee. The latter is living in Twinsburg at the present time. The Criterion Band The Criterion band, formed in 1884, was the first band that existed any length of time and that performed any notable part in the town's musical development. A few boys interested in the matter held a meeting and requested Prof. Fessenden to organize them and others into a band. So many responded to the invitation of Prof. Fessen- den that it was impossible to accept all. In order to make a proper choice he asked each candidate to whistle or sing. Those showing what he considered musical talent he organized into the Criterion Band. Beside those appearing in the picture of the band there were: Otis Bennett, Ed. Crouse, T. Taggart, Abner Lane and Bert Chamberlin. The name Criterion was derived from the brand of instruments they purchased in a complete set from Brainard and Sons of Cleveland. The members met for practice twice a week in the old school house on the east side of the square. Their expenses were met by giving band socials and Music 71 entertainments. They were fully uniformed and well drilled in marching. Besides playing for socials and enter- tainments they played for Decoration Day services, fairs, soldiers' reunions and various public gatherings. Those who witnessed the band on parade will long remember Prof. Fessenden with large pompon on hat acting as drum major. His baton will be on exhibition at the Centennial Celebration in 1917. A good band wagon in which they were conveyed to various places was owned by the band. This band played for ten years. After completing a course of instruction under Prof. Fessenden they chose S. D. Scoutten as leader and continued to play under his leader- ship until the band was discontinued. Later Bands About this time there were three other bands in the town, none of which existed long. As these broke up many of their members joined the Criterion. The North Street Band consisted of T. C. Cochran, Bert Chamberlin, Abner Lane, Hosmer Lane, Gideon Mills, Elmer Buell, Will Smith, Will Parmelee and C. E. Riley. Among the members of the West Street Band were Frank C. Lane, Ed. Lane, Clare Hempstead, Carl Hemp- stead, Adelbert Dodge, Fred Jenkins, Frank Parmelee, George Walton and Henry Beldin. Neither of these bands were uniformed. The Martial Band consisted of R. T. McManus, Jas. Fisher, W. H. Boose, David Nelson, R. Mitchell, Chas. Donahue, John Mulligan, and Wm. Taggart. This band was one of ten to play at a barbecue in Cuyahoga Falls about 1885 and by invitation led the other nine in the Grand March. Jas. Fisher, bass drummer, and Robt. McManus, fifer, continued to play for a long time, and later were joined by Abner Lane, fifer, and James Brown, snare drummer. They furnished martial music for about fifteen years. The last time they played together was Decoration Day, 1899. Twinsburg Concert Band In the year 1909 Prof. Parkinson, a young musician studying at the Dana Institute, Warren, 0., came to Twins- burg to organize a band, having heard, a,s he expressed it, jz Twinsburg History that it was a decidedly musical town. He interviewed several of the young men of the town who agreed to assist him and, if possible, to learn to play an instrument so that for the benefit of the town a band could be formed. A meeting was held, following a call for volunteers, and about twenty responded and expressed a willingness to organize. A complete set of band instruments was ordered and, in due time, arrived ready for distribution. Prof. Parkinson examined the lips and by several other methods of his endeavored to place the instruments to men whom he thought best fitted for them. One good parent was much disturbed the next morning, when, upon asking his son, to whom he had given fifteen dollars for his share in the instrument fund, to see his band instrument he was shown a "measly little" piccolo and he insisted that his son be given an instrument of some size. Under the careful instruction of Prof. Parkinson, the band held weekly practice meetings for about a year, at the end of which time the instructor left his work in Warren and moved to Ann Arbor, Mich. Prof. Wm. T. Kirk, a veteran band leader of Cleveland, and the director of Kirk's Military Band, one of the oldest and best known organizations of Ohio, became the instructor for the boys of Twinsburg. For a year or two he gave his strict military teaching to the band and so forcibly did he impress the band that the name of the Opera "Martha" still lingers with the members of the band. Prof. Geo. Kerwin of Cleveland succeeded Prof. Kirk and for a year he drilled the band, giving special attention to tuning of the instruments by getting the correct number of vibrations in a given tone, and other methods of teaching favorite with him. At this time the band met with several difficulties by reason of men leaving town for school and seeking employment elsewhere and the band was forced to discontinue for a time. Feeling that a good band was a necessity in a live town, steps were taken to get in new players. Soon eighteen players, all high school boys, were chosen and under the direction of Dr. R. B. Chamberlin, S. D. Scoutten and others, were faithfully instructed for a year when several of the players remaining from the old band joined them and the present Twinsburg band was Music 73 organized and put on a business basis for the primary pur- pose of being a benefit to the town. Under the leadership of Dr. R. B. Chamberlin, assisted by S. D. Scoutten, this band has been a blessing to the town. It has been well organized for several years and, although beset with many difficulties, always found in keeping a country band together, it is still keeping up its practice and filling many out-of-town engage- ments, in addition to giving semi-monthly park concerts on Saturday evenings which have attracted large crowds from Twinsburg and all the neighboring towns. Twelve hundred people or more are known to have been present on one occasion. These concerts have often been supplemented by other features such as vocal music, drills by the children, moving pictures and other events. The members of the Twinsburg Band are fully uni- formed, have all first class instruments and play the best of band arrangements. This band has made special plans for the Centennial and will furnish no small part of the enter- tainment during Centennial week in 1917. Orchestras Barbers' and Scouttens' Orchestra was organized for the purpose of playing at dances, and was in existence about 1880. S. D. Scoutten played first violin, Fred Barber, second violin, Frank Barber, bass viol, and Frank Scoutten, flute and piccolo. They played for the Western Reserve Academy dances, at the first dance at Kent House, Geauga Lake, and at most of the dances in the surrounding small towns. They also furnished music at the entertainments given by Mr. Bissell's scholars. Prof. Fessenden led an orchestra consisting of S. D. Scoutten, cornet, Abner Lane, violin, Perry Hanchett, flute, and Letella Fessenden, piano. This orchestra flourished in the early eighties. In 1899, another orchestra was formed consisting of S. D. Scoutten, first violin, Bert Chamberlin, second violin, Frank Lane, cornet, Mrs. Frank Lane, piano. This orches- tra played till 1901. The Western Reserve Orchestra has been playing since 1910 and has deserved the credit the people willingly give it. It has filled many out of town engagements and added much to the life of the community. Dr. R. B. Chamberlin is the 74 Twinsburg History leader. The personnel of this orchestra has been rather varied and the following list does not give mention of all who have at some time played : M. E. Culhan, cornet; F. D. Barber, Mrs. A. W. Elliott and Mrs. Roy Stingel, violins; Bert Chamberlin, second violin; Roy Stingel, viola; Mrs. R. B. Chamberlin, cello; E. B. Crouse, bass viol; A. W. Elliott, clarinet; Arthur Dunscomb, saxophone; Orrin Nichols, trombone; B. Forbes, flute; Orland Bishop, drum; Elmer Wing, trap drums; Mrs. M. E. Culhan, piano. Thus it will be seen the people of Twinsburg have not been content with an existence barren of the higher forms of enjoyment and education. That the struggle for better things has not been vain is attested by the fact that the people demand good music. Whatever the next century may bring in musical advancement, it is a matter of no small moment that a firm and sure foundation has been laid during the century past. a o fii D X U j 549 lbs. 2nd Base 121 cubic feet, weight 16,920 lbs. 3rd Base 47 cubic feet, weight 6,768 lbs. 7 Pieces Marble 100 cubic feet, weight. .18,120 lbs. Total 626^ cubic feet. Weight 9 2 >357 lbs. The first base was quarried out of a sheet of rock be- tween the house and barn then owned by Gardner Parmelee, ii2 Twinsburg History but now by Henry Garrard, three-quarters of a mile west of the center of the township. It was raised out of its bed with jack screws, loaded on moving trucks and moved in that way to the park by Mr. Henry Porter of Chagrin Falls. The second base was quarried on land now owned by Charles Richner, and drawn to the park by teams furnished by the citizens, gratuitously. The third base was also quarried on Mr. Parmelee's land, loaded on two truck wagons and drawn by horses. The marble furnished by the builder consists of seven pieces surmounted by a large spread eagle cut in marble and looking to the east. On the first base on the north side in raised letters is the word "Twinsburg" and above this is " 1867 Semi-Centennial year of the settlement of Twinsburg." On the east and south side are the names of the soldiers from Twinsburg who served in the war and were alive in 1867; a complete list is given in this chapter. On the west side: "To the memory of our patriot sons who fell during the rebellion of 1861 to 1865." These names are also given in this chapter. The dedication of the monument July 4, 1867, was a day long to be remembered by the people of Twinsburg, it being the anniversary of American Independence, also the semi- centennial of the settlement of the township. A large tent had been put on the park, west of the monument, where the main exercises were held. Over in the orchard northeast from the park, near where Mr. Bishop's house now stands, a big barbecue was staged. Colored cooks were secured from Cleveland for the occasion. An ox which weighed one thousand pounds was roasted whole under the direction of David Huson. An iron rod was run through the ox so that it could be turned over the hot fire. Tables were set in the orchard, ten of them, and about 500 people were present, the dinner being free to all. Jonathan E. Herrick was president of the day with Horace P. Cannon marshal. The Declaration of Independence was read, Hon. O. S. Griswold of Cleveland being the orator of the day. Hon. N. D. Tibbals of Akron responded to the toast: "Our citizen soldiers." Henry L.Hitchcock, President of Western Reserve TwiNSBURG IN THE ClVIL WAR 113 College to: "Our sons who never returned." Other speakers wereDr.HenryJ. Herrick, a native of Twinsburg, Rev. Sydney- Bryant, Edwin Oviatt, S. A. Lane, editor Akron Beacon, and Ethan Ailing. The exercises were fittingly interspersed with singing, martial and band music, and the firing of cannon. Under the direction of Mr. Lewis Ailing and Mr. Bailey extensive preparations had been made for an enter- tainment that evening befitting the observance of the national holiday as well as the fiftieth anniversary of the settlement of the town. But during the afternoon a violent storm razed the large tent and drenched the ground so that it was necessary to postpone that part of the celebration. Even under those disappointing circumstances it was a day never to be forgotten by those present. Incidentally the erection of the monument led to much needed inprovements on the public square. In 1867 the township trustees, Philo Chamberlin, Oscar A. Nichols, and Chauncey B. Lane, appropriated $1400.00 for improvements. Only $1100.00 was used, although much grading was done, especially on the southeastern portion. Lewis Cannon and William Parks set out most of the trees. To insure against damage by trespassers a fence was erected a little later, Edwin Barber having the contract for the work. This fence lasted for about a quarter of a century. Now the attractive- ness of the park is its chief protection. Following are the names and record of the one hundred and twenty volunteers from Twinsburg: Andrews, Emanuel E., Priv., age 28, Co.

Memorial Exercises The first exercises in the nature of a memorial to those who served in the Civil War and died during the service or since were held May 30, 1870. This service was brought about by the activity of Mrs. M. J. Hopkins. She and a few other ladies made wreaths and bouquets and decorated both the Soldiers' Monument and the graves of the soldiers. This was continued until 1873 when a more extensive observance of Memorial Day was participated in by the townspeople. M. C. Reed, Esq., of Hudson, delivered the address in the Congregational Church. Since that time there has been an address given in one of the churches or on the park each Memorial Day. The ex-soldiers and the chil- dren of the town decorate the monument and the graves of the soldiers and count it time and effort well spent to honor those to whom honor is so assuredly due. Note — The following sometime residents of Twinsburg were in the Spanish-American War: Elmer M. Buell, Edson Freeman, Charles Gerrard, Louis Rich, Jesse Wolfe. Eppy Riley was in the War of 18 12. : r i ' D O J O o K o CO w M o UJ pj are the real parties in interest. More recently the Company has acquired the tract on which the spring and reservoir are situated, with a view of protecting the environs thereof, and will retain sufficient 176 Twinsburg History land to make the source of the town's water secure against possible invasion or contamination. The Board of Directors of the Company at present comprises the following: C. B. Lane, C. E. Riley, A. W. Elliott, E. B. Crouse, C. F. Crouse, P. P. Evans, S. H. Crankshaw, R. B. Chamberlin and W. S. Lister. Its officers are: President, W. S. Lister; Vice President, C. F. Crouse; Treasurer, P. P. Evans; Secretary, A. W. Elliott; Superin- tendent, S. H. Crankshaw. The Twinsburg Banking Company To all appearances a more quixotic performance would be difficult to imagine than the actual methods adopted and pursued by Mr. E. 0. Christy in the promotion and organiza- tion of the above bank. He came to Twinsburg in the fall of 191 1, without introduction of any sort, and was a stranger to practically everyone in the town. He immediately an- nounced in the stores, and to persons he met casually, that he had come to organize a bank, and then proceeded to set forth the advantage of such an institution and the methods he had used in other places and proposed to follow in Twinsburg. The people at first smiled as they listened, thinking that the explanation lay in a weak or overwrought mentality. Among themselves they joked about the matter, but very few took any serious interest in the man or the subject. After a sojourn in the town of several weeks, and with- out having asked or received any assurances, Mr. Christy left Twinsburg and went to Chicago to spend the winter. He returned, however, in the fore part of April following and immediately took up the agitation for a bank, and con- tinued without cessation until the full capital was sub- scribed, the organization effected, and the building nearly constructed and equipped. He was not robust in health during any of his stay in Twinsburg, and much of his work was done under conditions that suggested hospital care, but by sheer will power he held himself to the task he had set himself and could not see the work neglected. In mid-summer of 191 2, however, he sue- Developments of Recent Years 177 climbed to his illness and was taken to St. Luke's Hospital, Cleveland, where in September, 191 2, he died. The bank was formally opened on November 11, 1912, and has proven itself a great convenience to the community. It has a capital of $25,000.00 and its deposits at present aggregate #129,402.04. Its surplus and undivided profits total #3,728.55. Its present Board of Directors comprises the following: O. H. Bennett, G. L. Bishop, H. A. Cochran, C. H. Craemer, W. H. Chamberlin, P. P. Evans, V. R. Hempstead, A. R. Mountjoy, C. E. Riley. Its officers are as follows: President, C. E. Riley, Vice President, G. L. Bishop, Secretary, A. J. Brown, Treasurer, O. H. Bennett, Cashier, A. R. Mountjoy. Electric Light and Power Service Unsuccessful efforts were made by Twinsburg people in 191 2 and 1913 to obtain light and power service from The Northern Ohio Traction and Light Company. But in the winter of 1914-1915 the late Mr. Will Christy, vice president of the company, became interested in the efforts then being made to secure better lighting conditions, and through his intercessions and kindly interest, a proposition was made by the company to extend its service lines so as to furnish street and residence lighting, and power, on a basis involving the purchase of preferred stock of the above company sufficient to cover the cost (#7500.00) of the entire installation. The work of meeting the above requirements was left to the following committees: W. S. Lister, Chas. F. Crouse, P. P. Evans, A. W. Elliott, Edward Wilson, H. C. Gillie, A. N. Roach and E. J. McCreery. A lighting district was estab- lished by petition to the township trustees, and provision made for the location of twenty-four street lights at an expense of #18.00 per light per annum, to be covered by a levy upon the taxable property within the district. The purchase of the aforementioned stock was accomplished and all expenses of the proceedings had by the committee were covered through the co-operation of a number of public- spirited citizens, whose names are entitled to mention. They are as follows: C. F. Crouse W. Krafton A. W. Elliott A. C. Baldwin 178 Twinsburg History H. C. Gillie J. H. Culhan E. J. McCreery Fred Twerell Roach and Bissell C. B. Lane A. J. Brown C. J.

Lister Akron-Cleveland Pavement This improvement, now just completed, was com- menced in the spring of 191 1. It had the active support of the then acting county commissioners and of the trustees of the townships through which it runs. It today constitutes one of the main arteries for public travel in northern Ohio, and brings Twinsburg into daily touch with many people from all parts of the country. The establishment in recent months of passenger bus services between Hudson and Cleveland is a substantial aid to the community. This service will doubtless be improved and elaborated as the traffic increases. Nothing has contributed more to the transformation of the town than the brick pavement, although it has brought with it problems that are new and serious. These problems grow out of the speed, reckless driving and vast number of automobiles upon the highway. Life and limb are put in great jeopardy, and unless there is soon provided by the State or County an adequate force of highway constabulary to check and control this immense traffic, the toll of killed and injured now so frightful will not be lessened. THE CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION W. S. Lister The observance of anniversary periods in connection with any happening or event is an evidence of interest in and admiration for the thing done and the chief actors involved. Fifty years ago, and in the semi-centennial year of 1867, the citizens were moved to make fitting commemoration of the township's settlement, and at the same time to honor the brave Union soldiers, who in response to their country's call had gone out from the township — some never to return, through the erection of the substantial monument now standing in the park. As the centennial year of 1917 approached, there was generally manifest among the people of the township the feeling that there should be fitting celebration of the event. On New Year's Day of 1916 more than one hundred and fifty people sat down to a community dinner in the Congre- gational Church and listened to discussions as to possible methods of celebration, means for making the celebration of greatest possible good to the community, and the scheme of organization best adapted to the purpose. At this dinner Mr W. S. Lister was toastmaster and the following re- sponded to toasts, all bearing on the centennial: Dr. L. G. Griste, Mr. Daniel R. Taylor, Mr. Reuben Hitchcock, Professor E. S. Kerr, Mr. C. B. Lane and Miss Lena M. Carter. Mr. Taylor, who had left the township as a boy of twelve years, was somewhat reminiscent. He said in part ; " I have always felt a deep affection for this good old town, for here my grandfather, Daniel Richardson (for whom I was named) and his family came in 1824, located on the Cleveland Road, one- half mile west of here, and with his stalwart sons developed a farm. Two of his sons, Edwin and William, were for a time merchants in the village. Daniel W. Richardson, another son, remained upon the old farm (part of which is now owned by your worthy and enter- prising citizen, Mr. W. S. Lister) until about 1866. Some of the older ones of you will remember him as an active, independent and progressive farmer, and a thoroughly good citizen, who, if he were here today, would enter into the spirit of this meeting with great zest. Here many of the family are buried in your beautiful ceme- tery. Here my father, Royal Taylor, lived for a number of years and married my mother, Sarah Ann Richardson. Here I was born, in the Huldah Wilcox home at the northeast corner of the square 180 Twinsburg History and Solon Road. Here I attended for a time Rev. Samuel Bissell's academy. In Tinker's Creek I learned to swim and fish. My first lessons in horsemanship were with my grandfather's old gray mare Tib.' "The settlers of the Western Reserve were the sturdy sons and daughters of New England. No better ever settled a new country. Their industry, prudence, intelligence and moral worth should be historically preserved. Why not commence by holding a meritori- ous centennial celebration?" All the speakers heartily favored giving the celebration real character and making it fittingly commemorative, and those present unanimously gave this sentiment their en- dorsement and authorized the appointment of a committee of twenty-five with full power to act. This committee comprises the following: Mr. O. H. Bennett Twinsburg, Ohio Miss Ellen Bissell Twinsburg, Ohio Mr. W. H. Boose Twinsburg, Ohio Miss Lena Carter Macedonia, Ohio Dr. R. B. Chamberlin Twinsburg, Ohio Mrs. L. K. Chamberlin Twinsburg, Ohio Mrs. Ella Cochran Twinsburg, Ohio Mrs. S. H. Crankshaw Twinsburg, Ohio Mrs. E. B. Crouse Twinsburg, Ohio Mr. M. E. Culham Twinsburg, Ohio Mr. A. W. Elliott Twinsburg, Ohio Mr. P. P. Evans Twinsburg, Ohio Mr. W. H. Gillie Cleveland, Ohio Mr. John Gould Aurora, Ohio Dr. L. G. Griste Twinsburg, Ohio Mrs. Kate Hanchett Cleveland, Ohio Dr. H. J. Herrick Hudson, Ohio Mr. Lawrence Hitchcock Cleveland, Ohio Mr. W. S. Lister Twinsburg, Ohio Mr. C. E. Riley Twinsburg, Ohio Mrs. Anna Straight South Euclid, Ohio Mrs. Allah Rudgers Akron, Ohio Mrs. Ethel Twerell Twinsburg, Ohio Mr. Ranson Tyson .Twinsburg, Ohio Mrs. C. J. Wagner Twinsburg, Ohio The committee immediately organized by electing the following officers: President, Mr. W. S. Lister, Vice- The Centennial Celebration i8jt President, Mr. C. E. Riley, Secretary, Miss Ellen Bissell, Treasurer, Mr. P. P. Evans. Mr. C. B. Lane, though not a member of the committee, was elected Honorary President. An Executive Committee was named comprising the above officers and in addition Dr. H. J. Herrick, Dr. R. B. Cham- berlin and Mrs. C. J. Wagner. It was decided by the full committee, after thorough deliberation, to hold the centennial celebration August fifth to eleventh inclusive. The fifth, being Sunday, will be known as "Devotional Day" and will have appropriate exercises. The next three days will be taken up with recep- tions, family reunions and gatherings which will be of interest to the different groups. During the last three days there will be celebrations of a public nature. The committee has been assured of the co-operation of the Twinsburg Band which will greatly help to enliven the events of the entire week. An Athletic Association has been formed to develop and conduct all manner of sports and field events. The production of a pageant has been decided upon and Miss S. Gertrude Hadlow of Cleveland has been made Pageant Master and will have entire direction of the affair. THE PAGEANT OF TWINSBURG By Miss S. Gertrude Hadlow No method of celebrating the anniversary of a town seems more fitting or gives more permanent satisfaction than the presentation of a pageant. There is every reason why this should be true. For, a pageant is the history of the town presented dramatically in the open fields and sunshine, by the co-operative effort of the townspeople. Local pride and patriotism are quickened by seeing enacted the heroic past, out of which the present has come. Pageants not only give communities a wide advertise- ment but they teach the valuable lesson of co-operation and common endeavor. For, when such an undertaking is once carried through, there remains a spirit of unity, which is the greatest strength of any institution or community. Mr. Louis N. Parker, "the father of modern pageantry," speaks of the pageant as being "the representation of the history of a town, in dramatic form, from the earliest period 1 82 Twinsburg History to some later point. This is set forth in verse and prose of the most direct sort, and is embellished with choruses, songs, dances, marches, and every legitimate spectacular adjunct. It is acted in some beautiful and historical spot. It is acted by the citizens of the town themselves, their wives, their children, and their friends. It is acted in a spirit of sim- plicity and reverence, and the audience must bring the same spirit in watching its progress. It is not a stage-play. It is a lofty and dignified panorama of the town's history. And it is an act of local patriotism. And out of local patriotism grows that wider patriotism which binds the people of one country together. But it is more still. I confess I cannot conceive a pageant except as an incident in a great act of praise and thanksgiving." The "episodes" in the Pageant of Twinsburg will be scenes of importance in the past of the town. The "epi- sodes" will be linked together by "interludes" — music, dancing or singing — which will suggest the nature of the scene which is to follow. In a general way the Pageant of Twinsburg will follow the outline suggested below : Episode i Struggles of our ancestors with the savages. Episode 2 1. An incident of settlement. 2. The naming of the township. Episode 3 An incident showing the influence and character of Samuel Bissell. An exhibition or activity of the Bissell Institute. Episode 4 1. The Underground Railroad. 2. The departure of troops for the Civil War. Episode 5 1. Fair day at Twinsburg, of the Union Fair Asso- ciation. Episode 6 I. Dedication by the "Spirit of Twinsburg" of all past history (all performers in all episodes) to "the Spirit of America." The Centennial Celebration 183 It is customary to close a pageant with the singing of the Star-Spangled Banner by the whole cast and the audience — the latter, of course, on their feet. A patriotic air, sung with respectful fervor, brings home to the people the underlying patriotism of the whole performance, and sends them away in an exalted state of mind. CONCLUSION A hundred years is a long, long time. While it has not been always easy to go back a century and untangle the threads of fact and fancy it has been less difficult than it would have been for our ancestors to foresee the Twinsburg of 191 7. To most of them the town would be a source of satisfaction. It is possible that in some particulars it might be a disappointment to a few. It might be a puzzle to others, but to all it would be an astonishment. A hundred years ago no one could anticipate the nation-wide develop- ments that would determine along what lines community life should progress. Doubtless the pioneers cherished their dreams as to the future of the town they were building and we know they were alert to seize opportunities to promote its growth and development. To their credit, and our benefit, they wisely left future details to be attended to in seasonable time by those who would be conversant with conditions then existing. But for the future they laid a broad and sure foundation in their industry, thrift, self-sacrifice, reasonable independence and reverence for education and religion. And these funda- mental virtues have survived till this day in the character of the townspeople. It is a long, long way from the old log cabin to the present commodious homes; from the candle to the electric light; from homespun to present day fabrics; from ox- cart to automobile; from the old well-sweep to the turning of a faucet; from the old blue teacup to the present bank; from the old log schoolhouse to the building accom- modating two hundred and twenty-five pupils; from an upper room in a gristmill to the present comfortable church edifices; from the mud turnpike to the brick pave- ment; from the infrequent weekly newspaper to the public reading-room, library and R. F. D„; from isolation to the telephone; from real estate, with improved land selling at $7.50 per acre, to the present 15398 acres valued at $782,- 220.00; from personal belongings carried in a pack to the present $727,460 worth of personal property; from the little settlement at Millsville to the present population of 829. Conclusion 185 To this progress the early settlers and succeeding genera- tions have all generously contributed. In the preceding pages an effort has been made to give due honor to the founders of the town; to portray the hard- ships they encountered and the spirit that enabled them to wrest success from difficulties; to bestow proper gratitude upon those citizens who, through the century, have striven to better their community; to bring to the present genera- tion a keener realization of the noble past to which they are heirs; to give to future generations, as their right, some knowledge of the past that they may be inspired toward further achievement. Nothing has so heavily contributed to the realization that the historian's task has been inadequately performed as the fact that such incomplete mention has been made of the large number of townspeople to whom so much of credit and praise is justly due. Throughout her existence Twins- burg has always had a large majority of citizens who went about performing every task with fidelity, demanding little for themselves, giving freely of themselves and their sub- stance whenever need was known, quietly bearing their full share of life's burdens. The heart grows warm and tender toward these unobtrusive, faithful folk. That the future will bring changes all know; what the changes will be none know. The past is gone: its fruits remain. The present is with us, and with it is promise of rich fruitage. That the future century may be replete with those things that make for ideal community life is the burden of the heart of Twinsburg in the year 191 7. TWINSBURG The Story of a Hundred Years A Centennial Poem by John Osman Baldwin 1917 The Pilgrims found a landing place upon New England's shore — And planted there a hardy race where pines and wild waves roar; Then, as the fleeting years swept by, there drifted o'er the land Descendants of that company, and — here today we stand. As children of that sturdy race whose lineage we claim, We aim to make this rural place ideal in fact and name — To foster here where maples thrive in every verdant grove, Each home and school, each church and shrine, for which our Fathers strove. From the log cabin in the wild beside the wooded stream, To modern telephone and bank, seems like a wondrous dream; The avenue and paved street were once the wild wood trail; Sidewalks for the hurrying feet — and route of rural mail. Where once the stage-coach rolled along o'er ways of corduroy, Adown the woodlands dark and long, the auto' whizzes by; Where once the hour-glass ran its course in grains of yellow sands, A town clock now with measured force ticks on — with gilded hands. Where once the rustic farmer swung keen cradle thro' the grain, The busy reaper's arm is flung athwart the teeming main; Where once the busy spinning-wheel drew out the slender thread, The vacuum cleaner stands today, or sewing-machine instead. By steam we thresh the golden grain which forms our daily bread; The clumsy flail is rent in twain, its blistering glory fled; The roller mill has thrust away the mortar's odious name; The tallow candle burns today in the electric flame. 'Twas here the wily Blackbird chief led dusky warriors 'round From yonder steep and tangled ledge to primal hunting ground. 'Twas here, one century ago our fathers set their seal, Where flowers bloom and waters flow all for the common-weal. Upon our east, in majesty arose Fort Lauren's walls; And west, in sweet serenity, the proud Cuyahoga falls; O, transformation marvellous! Where death and danger roam, A wild unbroken wilderness — a land of pleasant homes! Centennial Poem 187 One hundred summer suns have gone o'er these green fields of ours; One hundred seasons have put forth their wealth of fruits and flowers; And full one hundred patriot sons braved fields of murderous flame, And here upon enduring stone is carved each honored name. Lyceum Hall is silent now, its glorious work is done; A central high school crowns the brow of yon hill sloping down; Across the way there stands enshrined a memory and a name — All honor to that grand good man* directing youth to fame. Along the shady avenue the white-walled temples rise, Erected when the town was new, and pointing to the skies; Within those courts are lessons taught, and hymns and words of prayer And yearning hearts thro' grace have sought and found God every- where. And here, in one great brotherhood of Compass and of Square, Are principles of fellowship in which its members share; Their history is woven into fabric of the town Along with many other things that give the place renown. The crimson tide of rum and crime, of misery and of shame, Was staunched, we trust, forever more, when the White Ribbons came; Like a fair wave of golden light upon a darkened shore, Their ensign white, a beacon bright, goes ever on before. And there upon the Locust Hill the Marble City lies, Built up by cruel dart of time, and hallowed memories; The pine trees guard each silent home in solemn quietness benign, And every monumental stone is memory's treasured shrine. And here we pause, to honor those who gave the splendid park To generations yet to come — should it not bear a mark In memory of those brothers twain, allied in life, in death the same? With us their ashes yet remain, and lingers still the noble name. Our pleasant river, much the same, with curves of winding shore, And ledges, by the loom of time, their scenic garments wore; From out their massive forms have come foundations firm, of stone, And nature seals the ruins o'er with beauty of her own. The pioneers now slumber in lowly beds of green, Where flowerets without number grace each silent scene; The new age now before us with blessings dropping down, Be one great benediction — be Twinsburg's joy and crown! *The Reverend Samuel Bissell, founder of education in Twinsburg. Twinsburg History A hundred noble years have gone within the scroll-writ Past; Adown the winding path of time the withered flowers are cast; Back o'er the mountains, hills and dells, to many a worthy state, Run golden threads which bind us all to achievement and to fate. The village stores still take their gain as in the years gone by; The same old marts, tho' changed in name, is where we sell and buy- And those old tavern walls — could they but tell of long ago — But they belong to another age, and time hath willed it so. My great grandsire, with axe and chain and tripod, ran the lines Of this fair township, which was then all clad in trees and vines. My grandsire set the beauteous trees upon the "village green;" As some have died, new ones have come to fill the ranks between. The landmarks of the pioneers have mostly passed away; They paid their tribute year by year, in building those today; The cooper shops and scale-board works are gathered to the past, Around each ruin memory lurks, and she is fading fast. And Ledgsham's Mills and Parmelee's Falls have felt the tooth of Time. And Loomis's Mills and the old plank road have fallen into line; And other places I might name which Clio holds in trust, Are gone at last to their repose, they slumber in the dust. And where the trailing sandstone ledge of western slopes, let down In pasture lots and timberlands on eastern side of town, A path of serpentine and black winds out across the green, It is the Wheeling Railway track whose smoky pall is seen. In years gone by, a few lead pipes brought crystal waters down From purling springs of purple hills to this New England town; But later years hath wrought a change — those clear pure waters run Thro' one continuous long straight main, to gladden every one. The seed well sown in years gone by, by loving hearts and hands, Along the rough and rugged way, today, in harvest stands; And every gift has brought to us an increase o'er the last, And blessings of most lasting worth, from struggles of the past. The fathers wrought the best they knew — resigned their all to us — May we to high ideals prove true and faithful to our trust; Bequeathing to those yet to come, as years are handed down, The priceless heritage of home and a progressive town! PART II Genealogies Genealogical Sketches of About Nine Hundred and Seventy-Five Families, and Brief Mention of about Six Hundred and Forty-Five Individuals, who have lived in Twinsburg, making about Sixteen Hundred and Twenty Entries, arranged alphabetically. Also a Roll of Honor Containing the Names and Residences of the Patrons of this Book, who showed their Faith in it by Subscribing for it in Advance. By Rev. R. T. Cross Author of My Children's Ancestors, etc. PREFACE UNDOUBTEDLY this part of the book contains mis- takes. Some of them may be the author's own, pure and simple. Others belong to those who furnished the facts, as the author can prove by referring to the filled blanks and letters, which he has preserved. He has detected and corrected a number of mistakes which people have made in dates concerning themselves and their families. Some are due to very poor or very blind writing of names and dates. Some have been unwittingly copied from other books and documents. Even grave stone inscriptions are not always accurate. Sometimes the death and burial dates are con- fused. Some of the family records are very incomplete, lacking many names, dates and facts. We simply could not get them, especially in the case of people who lived here so long ago that no living person remembers them. People who refused us information — there were very few such — even when we called at their homes, cannot com- plain if their family record is incomplete and incorrect. Even in such cases we have felt bound to give such facts as we could glean from others. Some will say: "Why, I could have told him all about that family if he had asked me." But we did not know that you knew, and so we failed to get it. If from the time the book is published until after the centennial celebration, the readers of the book will make a note of all mistakes and omissions and needed additions, and send them in, it is possible that we can print them in a sup- plement which can be given to the owners of books, or fur- nished at from ten to twenty-five cents. At any rate send in such mistakes, omissions, etc., as you discover, and mark them in your own copy of the book. There are about eleven names in the history of Twins- burg that are represented by so many individuals and families that for convenience of reference we have prepared charts of them. They were neatly copied by Mr. Walter S. Duns- comb and then photographed and cuts made of them. When daughters marry and have children the names of those children come of course under the father's name. In the case of several or many families of the same name, and in the case of children born in Twinsburg, we have not confined our record closely to township lines. The record will be far more valuable to the families themselves, and to their friends, if it includes names of children and grand- children born elsewhere. But of course we could not carry such records too far. We could not prepare a complete genealogy of each family. In many cases we have carried the line in condensed form back to the first one of the family who came to America, or to one who was a Revolu- tionary soldier. We have learned of some unpleasant facts in the history of some families, but have not felt called upon to record them. No murder, so far as known, has been committed in the township. Yet Rev. Samuel Bissell, in his record of deaths in the early thirties, says in parenthesis after the name of a certain woman: "Murdered by her husband." We have not told who that husband was. If the good Lord blots out our sins from his book we should be willing to do the same with the sins of our townsmen. Neither have we told all the good traits and deeds. We would gladly have done so but there was not room enough. These are genealogical sketches, not biographical. We have occasionally inserted little incidents that may seem trivial, but they all help to better understand the people and the times. Posterity has preserved such inci- dents and we will help pass them on. The preparation of these sketches has been a long drawn out and a very tedious task, probably taking a year of solid work in the past three years. Yet the author has enjoyed it, partly because he believes in the fun of hard work, and the value to a man, as Booker Washington said, of having a hard job on hand, and partly because he has felt sure that he was doing a good and abiding work for the com- munity. If the book is appreciated and used he has his reward. It is said on good authority that no township in Ohio has hitherto undertaken such a work as this. Twins- burg leads them all in the effort to preserve a record of all her families. We are glad to help in thus putting Twinsburg on the map. Much credit is due the Congregational Church for allowing its pastor to give so much of his time to this work. R. T. C. < < P4 w H W > w W U « q w D W Q Q < H w w w 2 < o w N Dr. Henry J.
