WINGATE.
Another To.wn of Coal Creek Town
ship is Visited and Viewed by The Review Han.
Coal Creek township has^ had four post offices—Wingate, (formerly Pleasant Hill), New Richmond. Boston Store and Round Hill. The latter has been discontinued for some time. According to the history of the county or' 1881: "Christian Beever laid out the town of Pleasant Hill about 1831. It immediately thrived and promised to become a goodly town, but having no railroad ithad continued a place for country trade only. The first postmaster was J. L. MeKinney. Mr. Beever donated a ^lot to Carmou Lay ton, -a carpenter, to induce his to settle here, and his brother, Thomas Layton, was the first doctor. A Mr. Westfall kopt a tavern, having a sign out reading 'Traveler's Rest.' The story is told that in the early day two travelers came through the Jvilla and when one inquired the name of "the I place of a school girl he „was informed its name wa9 'Pleasant JHill.' The traveler through some possible motive or inclination replied 'you'd better call it Pleasant 1,' The other traveler's opinion w^ that its proper title should be 'D.evmP Nest.' The tavern keeper has loiig since passed away."
