of That Town on FridayEarly Remembrance

of the Historic Village.

At the meeting of the Historical So

ciety of Dublin on last Friday, Samuel

B. Huddleston read the following In

teresting paper.

Dublin is said to be an old town, but there are a number of people living here that are older than the town,

and perhaps no white man had "ever

Kpt his feet unon the eround now

graced by. our beautiful streets, lawns and flower gardens and adorned by

our peaceful, comfortable and happy

Christian homes until after some of

our oldest citizens were born.

The land west of the twelve .mile purchase was , not surveyed and - put upon the market until the first of the

.year 1821,' 85 years ago.

Paul Custer was the first white man

who brought his family into this vi

cinity and he had to cut his road through the thicket' of underbrush from Vandalia to his land nearly half

of which Is now in the town of Dublin. Ha came in the spring of 1821 and livBd In iiis wagon until he built a cabin. William McGrear 'entered the half section of land joining Paul Custer on the west.-His east. line . was,, what Is now Foundry street, beginning at Whitacre's corner and extending one jnile south by a half mile west. The road running south from Needham's past Rollin Butler and Silas Huddleston being his west line. William McGrear entered, this land August 18, 1821 and '. commenced a clearing and built a cabn near the center of it at the "Big Spring" on what is : now Perry Wilson's land across the Railroad south of the school house. William McGrear sold all of his Jand to his brother Alexander Mc Grear January, 17, 1825.. and. Alexander McGrear sold out to his, brother-in-law Harman Davis, h April 18, 1826. Harman Davis sold, a. forty .acre strip off of the north end to', his brother, Thomas Davis, and another forty acre jtrip next to that to his brother Isaac Davis. f At this time the Old State Road had been opened by the way of Vandalia westward to Whitacre's corner, thence almost due southwest through the Section of which the Davis farm was the east half. The Avenue from Harry Black's to Silas Huddleston's is a part of that old road. James Griffin entered the southwest quarter of this section and Paul Custer who entered the eighty east of Dublin entered the east eighty of the northwest quarter. Nathan Newby entered the eighty west of Custer. A portion of all of this land is now embraced in the town of Dublin extept the eighty entered by Newhy. The town was laid out and platted by Harman Davis and 'recorded by him January 29, 1831. Nearly 76 years ago. The first lot was sold to Thomas Davis for twenty dollars that being lot number 1, block number 8. This lot Is now occupied by J. V. Hoffman's residence. This was five years before the .National Road was opened, so we can not see how the name of Dublin could have been suggested by the practice of doubling In the teams to draw heavy loads up the hill from the east j rnto town since there was no road i

there at the time the town was named and the name was recorded. Another tradition that is equally absurd lthough it is quite popular is that ihe town took Its name from a double !og tavern called tjhe Double Inn. The Tacts gleaned from the testimony of old citizens who we Interviewed years jigo and who have passed away, and fcrbose testimony is proven to be correct by reference to the county records and other records that are accessible is that the. town was named lnd the name was recorded . more than one year before there was a tavern In the town. Paul Custer's famous

Black Horse Tavern on his farm eastJ

of town was the only public house for the traveling pioneers west of VanJalia until after Dublin was named. We are Indebted to Professor Hod5inand Isaac Jenklnson for facts ncerning the date of the opening of ihe ' National Road, the history of which can be seen in the Library at Earlham College and also in the Library in Richmond. Mr. Jenklnson .wrote further on this matter that "Oliver H. Smith asked congress to appropriate fifty thousand "dollars to txtend the road through Indiana. The bill was offered December 4, 1828, passed January 20, 1S30. The work was commenced at Indianapolis that spring and extended eastward reaching Richmond in about six years." ' The first house was built in Dublin . by George Brown for William Owens to sell goods In. This house was built

on the lot now occupied by Fred Carmony's residence. Mr. Owens died before the house was finished and the property was sold to Jacob Vore who opened as store in it when It was finished. Dr. Beaty was the first physician In Dublin. He came In 1S31 from Rockbridge county, Virginia and was followed by Drs. Caleb W. Witt and Lorenzo D. Jones. Samuel Schoolfield opened the first tavern hero in 1S32 on the lot now vacant, west of Dr. McKee's residence. Other early settlers were Dempsey Boswell who sold goods on the corner where James Whitacre lives, before he came here. A town was started there before Dublin was laid out. James Boswell opened the first harness shop in Dublin. John King built the house now occupied by the Clifford family in 1832 and a schoolwas taught here in an early day. Thomas Allen built the Orange Baird hoe and worked at cabinet making in a. part of it. John Crull came in 1831 and was the first blacksmith in Dublin. His shop was on the corner now occupied by S. F. Crull's . grocery. Sylvester Cooper was. the second blacksimth and he came in 1832. Reese Ridgeway established the first tannery here in 1832 on the lot now occupied by Clarence Reid's resi

dence. He sold out to Ben Griflin and he to Axum Elliott, and he to Ben

Kirk who moved it 'south of the rail-

'road Where in 1873 It burned and was

abandoned. f

John Sawyer and a Mr. Hazelton

were the first tailors in Dublin and "were followed by Thomas D. Asce, Emanuel Albright and Harrison

Compton. ' " .

Jonathan P. Crager built the first

steam saw mill here on the lot north of the last site of the tannery. Henry Hester was killed here by the. engine pitman in 1836. The mill machinery was removed soon after and the Witt brothers. Caleb, James and Caswell

operated a stove foundry here until they built the brick foundry on Maian

street. The Witt brothers fitted up a

room InJthe old frame. foundry. build

ing and it was used several years as

a place of worship, by . the United

Brethren church which was organ

ized in 1837.,

The Methodist Episcopal church wa3 organized by Alfred Pierce ,and his wife, Mrs. Mary Grove; Margaret Faulkner, Abigail Misner and James Bradshaw in 1834. Bradshaw was a

sojourner here a laborer on . the Na

tional road bridge foundation "west of town which was put. in the year

before the. bridge was built-'Itrequir-

ed six persons to make 'the church

organization and they - had nly4 five till Bradshaw offered ' himself as a

member to help them get the organi

zation. . . r

Samuel Niscon ' was' the first man

who died in Dublin and he was buried

in Milton by Jesse Pike In . 1832. Jes

se Pike and Marian Schoolfield are

the first couple married, in , Dublin.

Their marriage was solemnized 'Octo

ber 5, 1832. The first justice of the

peace was Nathaniel Mahlon.- The

second Levi Eastridge, the third Ja-

cob Chappel. -

William B. Reed came to Dublin in

1S38 and was a justice of the peace

a number of years. .

Joel Brewer taught the first school

In Dublin in one of the rooms of the

Orange Baird residence. Miss ' Mary

Schoolfield was, an early teacher in Dublin. The first school building in Dublin was a portion of the house

now owned by Mrs. John Christman

on Harrison street.

The Female Seminary was estab

lished here in 1835 by Caleb W. Witt,

John.Whippo and Jonathan P. Craig-

er. Miss Sarah Dickinson was em

ployed' as teacher here for several

years.

The Dublin Academy was establish

ed in 1837 by a stock company. This building stood where the present

school building stands.

Samuel Nisco, who died - in 1832

built a cording mill and had it in op

eration when he died. The building

was made into a residence and is now

occupied by the Steffy family. ,

A market house was built-in-the

middle of Dublin" street in" front of what is now the Methodist parsonage

in 1834 or 33. This building was used

about fifteen years whe nit was aban

doned, sold and torn down.

A tribe of Delaware Indians passed

through Dublin in 1832 on their way

from Ohio to Kansas. Owing to the

sickness , of a child they camped on

the south side of the creek at David

Port's. The child died and was bur

ied there and by their entreaty the

whitej men of the stttlement agreed

to keep the grave sacred and thus the

little graveyard was started that still

marks the Indian camping place. .

who entered a plea of guilty to the charge of conspiracy made against "him in connection with the strike of

1905, and offered to turn state's evi

dence, was on the stand. Young is

president of the United Teamsters of America.

According to statements made by

Young on the stand, Robert Norenk,

business agent of the Garment Workers union, provided a fund of $1,500, wiich he said was divided between Shea and other labor leaders : to In

duce them to call a strike of teamsters for the purpose of aiding the garment

workers of- Montgomery. Ward & Co.,

Young declared that the $1,500 was

accepted and that Shea said we

It Is very misleading to base elabo

are by no means similar. Germany has no natural supply of gasoline and kerosene as have we. Germany depends

upon alcohol; we do not. There are

many problems to be met In this mat

MADE RAID ON EDIBLES

Banquet Prepared for Fifteen Hundred Visiting School Teachers at Pittsburg Was Badly Depleted, as Result of the Disorder. -

IPublishers Press.J r Pittsburg, Pa., Dec. 1. More than 1,500 school teachers attending the Pittsburg teachers institute experienced a disappointment as a result of the raid- on the banquet room by a throng of school children gathered to Sing before the teachers. When the youngsters discovered the location of the edibles those in charge were unable to control them. The session of the teachers was not disturbed. A negro boy found the way into the store room where numerous palatable dishes were placed for the banquet. Before any one in charge was aware of it the boy led the crowd of youngsters to it. When the janitor of the building discovered them, each was munching a cake or other dainty and sipping cream and devouring all the eatables in sight. As they had gone so far, the , janitor permitted the youngsters to finish their feast. ; An effort was made to learn the identity of the "pilot" of the crowd, but all were loyal to the leader and the culprit remains undiscovered.
