Organization of the County “Putnam County was organized by an act of the General Assembly, approved December 31, 1821, and was named in honor of General Israel Putnam, of Revolutionary fame. As originally organized, Putnam County consisted of six townships, named Deer Creek, Hart, Sparta, Tipton, Walnut and Washington. To locate them or fix the boundary lines which separated them cannot now be done for the reason that the records of the proceedings of the county commissioners prior to 1828, where such information would properly belong, have long since disappeared from the files of the county auditor’s office. From certain documents recently found in the clerk’s office, however, we are safe in qxxuming that Tipton Township was in the center of the county and included the town of Greeneastle; that Deer Creek was in the South part of the county and adjacent to the stream which now bears that name, and that Washington was in the southwest corner and covered practically the territory now Included within the limits ef the present township of that name. For the other three townships, the exact boundaries are unknown. When the county was organized it embraced considerably more territory on the south and the west than it does at present. By successive acts of the General Assembly during the first years of the county’s political existence, it was reduced to its present limits, except that Mill Creek Township was afterward added on the east. For local political purposes the county is divided into fourteen civil townships, to wit; Jackson, Franklin, Russell, Clinton, Monroe, Floyd, Marion, Greencastle, Madison, Washington, Warren, Jefferson, Cloverdale, the last named not coming into existence until 1946. In September, 1860, the commissioners of Putnam county annexed about fifteen square miles of the territory of Morgan county lying northeast of Mill creek, the tract thus added to Putnam county was organized into a township and called Mill Creek. The first county officers were Arthur McGaughey, Clerk and Recorder; James Talbott, Treasurer; William W. McIntosh, Sheriff; and Thomas Blake, Prosecutor. Amos Robertson was appointed County Agent, and the political organization was complete. It was yet necessary to provide for the administration of justice. Prior to this tijme the citizens of the county had been under the jurisdiction of Owen County. Selection of County Seat The General Assembly of Indiana, at the same session which organized the county, appointed Jacob Lowe of Monroe County, Daniel Anderson of Ow. en County, and Judge Colman of Vermillion County, Commissioners to locate and name the county seat of justice for Putnam County. After considerable delay, occasioned by the explanation of several rival places, anxious to secure the location of the county seat in his own neighborhood, the present site of Greencastle was selected and established as the capital and seat of justice for the county. When Greencastle was laid out, the site contained 160 acres of land. The old plat is bounded on the north by Liberty street, on the east by Locust street, on the south by Hanna street, on the west by Gillespie street, and was originally divided in 214 lota.

The part of the city which lies between Locust and Indiana streets was granted by Ephraim Dukes, having been entered by him January 25, 1821; and was deeded by him to Amos Robertson, agent for Putnam County, on the 27th day of September, 1823, in consideration of the location of the county seat at that place. The west half of the old plat was given by John W. Clark, a son-in-law of Mr. Dukes. This grant was entered by Mr. Clark on the 17th day of September, 1822. The deed conveying this land to John Baird, agent for Putnam County, was not recorded until June 7, 1825. Mr. Dukes came from near Greencastle, Penn., and the county seat of Putnam County was named by him in honor of that place. (In some history books, the above statement is not accepted as it has never been verified.)" Standing Firm On Reservists WASHINGTON UPI — Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara shows no signs of dropping his opposition to Viet Nam service for reservists, despite renewed Senate prodding and a continuing troop buildup. In testimony released Friday, McNamara said he would not recommend use of reserve forces “under present conditions.” The draft and enlistment will continue to be the main source of military manpower. “As far as I can see, at least as far as the rest of the year is concerned, I don’t see the need now to anticipate calling them up for anything in Southeast Asia,” McNamara said.
