Moore Jerry Wayne Moore, age 5(1, of Richmond, died Thursday Feb.25,1908 He played cops and robbers on the banks of the Whitewater River, little realizing he would grow up to create music for TV cop shows. George Duning was born in Richmond on Feb.25,1908. He grew up on South Street, not far from the Starr Piano Factory and Gennett Records.

He played cops and George Duning robbers on the banks of the Whitewater River in his neighborhood. Later, he would score music for popular TV cop shows wilderness. The first administrator was one of the founders of Wayne County. Territorial governor General William Harrison appointed Richard Rue Justice of the Peace in 1806. The territorial legislature dictated, "until the establishment of the county seat, the house of Richard Rue shall be the legal place for holding courts in and for said county, until a suitable courthouse is completed." Rue was without legal training but possessed of hardy common sense developed in the rigorous life of a frontiersman.

His home three miles south of Richmond no longer stands; it was in this log structure that the first county court was held on Feb. 25,1811. At the first sessioa the county was divided into two townships. Two Overseers of the Poor were selected, and three men selected as official Fence Viewers. The court seal was made of a wafer and a piece of paper turned over with the letters "Wayne County" written over it.

The second court term was at the same place the next month. A grand jury was impaneled. Seats consisted of roughly hewn chairs and logs. When juries retired for further deliberation, logs were placed a suitable distance apart What they determined to do was to set the county seat near its geographic center; and they did so, stating, "the town in Wayne, or the seat of justice, shall be called Salisbury This decision would later all but destroy Salisbury when the seat was removed to Centerville and create contention between Richmond and Centerville for the county seat when it moved to Richmond.
