SETTLEMENT Contdnaad from paga on* iicgOoS." In 1834 Vachel Ball, who settl* ed in Root township in 1833, was appointed commissioner to expend SSOO more on the Winchester road. A total of S4OO had been appropriated in 1833 for the south part of the road. Ball received the stupendous reward of $1 a day for his labor. In 1835 a second road, from "Manheim,” believed to have been located near where Yost's gravel pit now is, to Willshire, 0., was authorized by state law. The Wayne trace, from Fort Wayne to Piqua, 0., was already an established trail, because when the first board of commissioners met in 1836, they authorized the clearing of fallen timber from it, and the building of bridges. On the other side of the St. Mary’s river, they authorized the building of andther road, but this was new construction, because it entailed the girdling of big timber, and the clearing of land so far from the center. Sheriff Appointed The county’s boundaries were defined by law as they now exist on February 7, 1835, but no provision was made for county government. That came about in 1836 on January 23, when the general assembly passed the act of organization. On February 4 Whig Gov. Noah Noble appointed David McKnight sheriff, and issued a writ of election to be held under his auspices on April 1, 1836, for two associate judges, a county clerk, county recorder, three county commissioners. That same day Adams county was attached to the eighth judicial circuit. At that time the president judge rode a circuit of a dozen or more counties, and two associate judges, men of good character but no legal training, were elected in each county to sit with the presiding judge. They were elected for seven-year terms.

Rough Politics The circuit court did not convene for its fall, 1836 session until January of 1837, so the only crimes recorded in 1836 were handled by the justices of the peace. All were crimes of vio-lence-eight assault and batteries, two affrays, and one beating. In the early days, politics was a rough and tumble affair, and this is easily proved by the record in Adams county. Os the crimes committed, one assault was by a justice of the peace, another by the sheriff, a third by the president of the board of county commissioners against one of the fence viewers appointed by the court; that same fence viewer against another member of the commissioners, and then vice versa; the sheriff for beating a county commissioner, an associate judge for beating the sheriff, and a grand juror for fighting with a fence viewer, or township surveyor. And to prove the point still further, the only commissioners to be defeated for re-election was the one member who was not engaged in any fights that first year! One of the problems of the official record, however, is that it does not show when St. Mary’s township was officially created. It is assumed when the county was formed. Root township was formed when the county was part of Allen county, but no record has yet been found establishing St. Mary’s. A number of questions were asked following the meeting, and a spirited discussion held. A suggestion was made that early church records written in German be translated by someone who can read German script, and a copy filed with the church archives, and with the local historical society.

A southbound train, local engine No. 9188, and engineered by B. R. Kissinger, of Fort Wayne, struck the right of the truck, sending it 45 feet from the point of impact to its resting place down the tracks. The train travelled approximately 232 feet from the collision point before coming to a complete stop. Estimated speed of the train was given at 15 miles per hour, and speed of the Lengerich truck was listed at five miles per hour. According to the police report, boxcars’ were located on four of the tracks, while four tracks were reported empty. The collision occurred on Track No. 9. Conductor of the train was James R.
