(Since this year is Indiana’s 150th birthday, it would only be fitting and proper for The Banner to devote space to some of the history of Putnam County. Starting with today’s column and continuing, this column will reproduce some of the history of Putnam County as taken from the Banner files; “Weik’s History of Putnam County “Putnam County, Indiana,” by Prof. Gillum Ridpath, A.M., and a souvenir history of Greencastie published in 1892. Special ihawVa also goes to Mrs. Eva Jobe for lending the above books.) First Settlers “On the 4th day of October, ISIS, Jonathan Jennings, then Governor of the state; Lewis Cass, and Benjamin Parke, Commissioners of the United States, concluded a treaty with tha Miamis at the town of St Mary’s, la the State of Ohio. By this treaty, the Miamis ceded to the United States all their right and title to lands east and south of the Wabash, with the exception of a few ■mall reservations. At the same convention, treaties of similar character were concluded with the Wea, Pottawatomie and Delaware tribes. Thus, by these two treaties of 1809 and 1818, was extinguished the last vestige of Indian title to the soil of Putnam County, and the reign of savagery took its flight forever from the forest shades of Central Indiana. “After the treaty of 1818, the General Government took steps toward the epening-up of the country then purchased, for the reception of civilized inhabitants. In the year 1819, the new portion of the territory of which Putnam County is composed, was surveyed, by authority of the General Government, and was put on sale at the land office in Terre Haute. “Phirchasers and settlers followed close upon the surveyors, and, on the 18th day of December, 1818, John Colman entered the first piece of land owned by a white man in Putnam County. This tract embraced the west half of the northwest quarter of Section 10, and the east half of the northeast quarter of Section 9, Township 12 north, Range 5 west. It lies in the Eel River bottom, just below the fork.

“The first deed conveying land in the county was made o*. the 23rd day of September, 1822. By this indenture Christopher Miller conveyed to Daniel Swank, for the sum of $800, Section 12, Township 16 north, Range 5 west. “The first white inhabitants were James Athey and Benjamin Croy. James Athey raised a crop of corn one-half mile below Croy’s mill in 1818. Soon after this date, Webster's mill was built, being the first structure of the kind to wake the echoes of the surrounding solitude with its monotonous hum. Croy’s mill was, also, of very early date. Mr. Croy was from Ohio. Otwell Thomas, Reuben Ragan and three others spent the winter of 1818-19 in the same neighborhood, with a Mr. Thomas, resident there. During the same winter they erected a residence for James Athey. “In the year 1819, Jefferson Thomas and John Miller selected the tracts of land afterward entered by them, lying just west of Greencastle. At the same time Reuben Ragan explored the hills and ravines on which Greencastle is built It was about this period, also, that the Rev. Daniel Anderson, a Methodist minister, preached the first sermon within the limits of the county. During this year also, four families made temporary settlement in the south edge of the county. “John Sigler and his family were the first permanent residents of the portion of the county then called the new purchase, having arrived in the county on March 21, 1821. With Mr. Sigler came, also, Thomas Johnson. The next man who came was John Johnson, with his family, who reached the county May 11 of the same year, and settled about seven miles southeast of Greencastle. Probably, the next was John

Miller.

“During the same year, came Jefferson Thomas, Abraham Coffman, Sr., Samuel Rogers, Sr., Jubal DeWees, Isaac Matkin, Abraham Lewis and Rev. Reuben Clearwaters, and settled near the center of the county. James Gordon, Sr., also, came in 1821, locating his land in the northern portion, being the first resident of that neighborhood.”

DeaJ Pilot At Airliner Controls TOKYO UPI—The pilot of a KLM Royal Dutch Airways DCS jetliner died at the controls early today seconds before the big jet was to touch down at Tokyo Airport A fast-thinking copilot wrested the controls from the dead man to avert an almost certain crash. Officials said the plane, en route from Amsterdam to Manila with 45 passengers aboard, was only 3-4 seconds from touch down when the pilot, Capt G. H. De Groot, died of an apparent heart attack. In one lightning move, the copilot, C. G. De Jager, 37, applied full power and aborted the landing. De Jager took the plane back up to 3,000 feet, had the crew pull the dead pilot from his seat and brought the big jet in for a perfect landing with the aid of the navigator.

Willard Wirtz today returned to a reluctant House to plead for a quick decision on whether a congressional order will be given to end the 29-day airline strike.

In Memory In loving memory of Gary L. Rossok, who was taken from us 3 years ago, Aug. 7, 1963. They say time heals all sorrow, And helps us to forget. But time so far has only proved How much we miss you yet. God gave us the strength to face the grief. And courage to stand the blow. But what it meant to lose you. No one will ever know. Sadly missed by Mother, Father, Brothers and Sisters,

In Memory In loving memory of Robert S. Irwin who passed away August 7, 1965. There is an open gate at the end of the road Through which each must go alone And there in a light we cannot see Our Father claims his own. Beyond this gate our loved one finds happiness and rest And there is comfort in knowing That a loving God knows best. Sadly missed by the family.

Committed Suicide TUCUMCARI. N. M. UPLThe body of Dr. Bernard Grangier, Bartholomew County deputy coroner from Columbus, Ind., was found Thursday in a motel room here. A coroner’s jury ruled the 37-year-old doctor died from selfinflicated medication. Tucumcari police said the victim checked into the motel last Tuesday and the motel manager said he did not seem despondent. Officers said a note addressed to his widow, Barbara, and his son, David, 12, was found next to the body.

The mystery gift of President and Mrs. Johnson to the newlyweds was partially uncovered Thursday. It turned out to be a Texas-size U. S. Savings Bond. The White House acknowledged it was "substantial” and some reports placed the value at $10,000. For years, the President had said Luci would receive the family-owned, 831-acre “Lewis Ranch,” a few miles from Johnson City, Tex., when she was married. But the White House said the ranch would not b« a wedding present Family friends sought to complete Luci’s china, silver and glassware patterns. Well wishers among the public sent everything from kitchenware to good-luck gartersThe Johnsons were reluctant to accept gifts from foreign heads of state because the wedding ostensibly was a family affair, but refusal of presents would be an insult. King Hassan U of Morocco was understood to have sent the bride four caftans—floorlength Moroccan dresses trimmed with gold braid and buttons. The Washington diplomatic corps gave the couple a silver tea service, and lady members of Congress planned to send fine glassware.

In Memory In loving memory of our grandson, Gary L. Rossok, who left us three years ago Aug. 7. Mr. A Mrs. E. N. Kersey
