This township was originally a part of Clinton, but in 1828 Clinton was divided, and Russell was formed as it now stands. It occupies the north west comer of the county, and is bounded on the north by Montgomery County, on the east by Franklin Township, on the south by Clinton Township, on the west by Parke County. The streams that drain Russell are Raccoon Creek and Ramp Creek, with their several tributaries, all taking a southward course, The soil is excellent, especially in the northern and northwestern portions; the country around Russellville being charming in its natural character, and finely improved. The southwestern portion is considerably broken though the soil is good, and thece are many fine farms. The township, upon the whole, is considered one of the finest in

the county.

Russell Township was one of the first settled. David Swank, who came in 1820 and built his cabin on what is still known in thejaeighborhood as the “Swank Jarm” in the northeastern part at the township, was the first settler. In the same year came Allen Elliott, who settled on Big Raccoon, near the center of the township Austin Puett, who settled near the site of Portland Mills; and Clark Butcher who, also, settled on Big Raccoon. In 1821 came John Anderson, John Westfall, Christian Landis, Andiew Robertson, B. Resencranze, William Sutherlin, John Gleason, Samuel Steele, Thomas Thompson, Jacob Beck and a brother, John Doherty and Andiew Boyd. John Fasher built his cabin on Ramp Creek this year, and removed his family thither in 1822. The year 1822 marks the arrival of John Guilliams, Jacob Pickle and A. B. Denton. From 1822 to 1825 Mark Homan, R. V. Garrott, Thomas Page, I. Aldridge, Jacob Stid and Thomas Norman became residents of

the township.

Within the next five years, the ancestors of the Wilsons, the Evanses, the Clodftilers, the McGaugheys, Spencers, Burketts, Forgeys, Slakes, and many others, were added to the pioneer population. The first birth which occurred in the township is a matter of dispute. The priority belongs •ither to a child of Christian and Matilda Dearduff, or the Miss Guilliams, the wife of John McGaughey, who was born about the year 1823. The firat marriage was that of John Guilliams and Miss Lydia Fasher, which took place in July,

ays

by, ^Lon QX liiiehead 1822. They were married by the Rev. Mr. Quinlet. The manner in which this wedding was conducted, serves to illustrate the character of the times, and the i simple habits of the pioneers.; Mr. Guilliams, who was busily engaged in plowing his corn, made arrangements with his intended wife that, on the day of the marriage, when the preacher arrived she should be ready and she should inform him of the facts. In due time the preacher came and a child was dispatched to notify the groom that all was in readiness. Hitching his horse in the field, he hurried to the house where the ceremony was performed; then he returned to his labors as though nothing unusual had taken place. Daniel Anderson, who ministered unto the people of the township during the years 1824 and 1825, was their firST preacher. The first schoolhouse was built on the farm of John Foaher, in 1823, in which the first school session began the same year. The first mill in the township was built ^ by Jacob Beck, and was long known as “Beck’s Mill.” This was erected in 1820 and 1821. The buhrs of this mill were made by John Guy, from a boulder which lay near the mill site. The next was “Swank’s Mill,” built in 1823. James Secrest opened at Blakesburg the first store from which goods were sold in Russell Township. In 1823, John Fasher established a tanyard on Ramp Creek, which was the first in this portion of the county. Col. James Blake erected a “ Sang Factory” at the same place, and operated it from 1826 to 1830. This Factory gave employment to all who were not otherwise employed, in digging “Sang” which found a ready market. Jesse Blake, also, had an interest in the factory. The first church was built at Russellville in 1830. When the town was laid out in 1828, arrangements were made for the erection of a church, which was completed two years later. The first Fourth of July celebration was held on the farm of John Dougherty, near Portland mills, in 1828, Gen. George K. Steele acting as Marshal of the Day. Drs. James B. Clark, Copeland, Winslow, Rogers and John Slavens were the first practicing physicians in this com-

munity.

In the year 1828, the town of Russellville was laid out by Jacob Durham, who was the first merchant, and carried on the first blacksmith shop. Dr. Striker was the first physician who resided there.

1967 Month By Month Opportunity's Calendar

By ROBERTA ROESCH The challenge of new beginnings—and new opportunities, too—are here for another year. So here’s a calendar of them for the months ahead. JANUARY: Begin the year with the gift of some rest, a checkup of your health, and a respite in which you catch your breath while you look toward 1967 as a brand new opportunity to do in both your home and job. Second Month FEBRUARY: Look yourself straight in the face and decide with honest objectivity what you are doing with your life and what you would like to do. Inoculate yourself with incentive and recharge yourself with hope. MARCH: Examine your aims and ambitions. Then take an idealistic view of what you would like to do plus a realistic view of what you can do. APRIL: When you are settled on your aims make one move toward achieving them every day, even if the move is small. Get started on this by making new commitments and involving yourself in new things. As the freshness of spring arrives extend yourself beyond the routine of new responsibility. MAY: Maintain an open mind. Develop an interest in many things. Learn from every possible source.

In Memory

In loving memory of our husband and father, Eugene H. Snider, who pased away Jan. 1, 1966. Beautiful memories, more precious than gold. These are the things you left us to hold. Memories of all the dear things you said. Memories of all the sweet things you did. Memories of you axe locked in our hearts Each day of our lives, they are apart. Someday we’ll meet you, our darling one After life’s trials and heart aches are done. But until then, these things we’ll hold. Beautiful memories, more precious than gold. Sadly missed by Wife and Daughters

JUNE: If life starts crowding in on you, re-organize yourself. Make yourself work under pressure and use advantageously every moment you have. Sense Of Humor JULY: If things get serious and you are not having any fun, put your sense of humor to work and view life with a light touch. AUGUST: Practice catering to people. Brush up on the habit of specializing in the human touch. SEPTEMBER: Get started for fall renewing your efforts to be a dynamic self-starter, rather than a dreamer and procrastinator. OCTOBER: If you are working in a job where nothing happens (and where nothing is likely to happen), consider moving to a spot where the action is. This kind of move or action

Mark Calendar With What Is To Be Done In Months Ahead can put you into the kind of place where you will be available when a good chance comes. It can also force you to reach for a level that is just beyond you, driving you to do a little is your best. NOVEMBER: Check on how far you have come this year and how far there is to go. Then keep the flame within you a glowing, growing spark instead of a weak flicker, as you remind yourself daily that you can do what you want to do if you work instead of wish. Self-Confidence DECEMBER: Respect yourself for who you are, for what you have done, and for what you will still do. Have faith in yourself, and believe once more that every year is a brand new chance for opportunities and beginnings. Happy New Year—and happy new opportunities, too!
