VanWinkle says the ed itor of the Gazette knowingly robbed the people of the village of Richwood, he simply tells that which he knows to be untrue.

Mr. Love was not on the vehicle when it crossed the bridge, but was walking a short distance behind. He witnessed the accident in every detail and says he was never so badly scared in his life, not to be injured in the least.

Continued from second page. These miniSers read as they traveled on the road and through the forests and many of them graduated at "Brush Col lege" and were mighty expounders of the word of life and successful pastors. The Methodist itinerants of that early day were men of courage, perseverance and self denial, doinc: a ereat work for the generations that have followed them in the cultivation of the gospel field Thev have trone to their reward and their labors do follow them. Shortly after I left Richwood for Marysvilie to commence learning my trade, I attended a meeting held in the dwelling of Mr. Adam Walford there were no church buildings of any denomination in Marysvilie at that date, April, 18.

There I recognized the preacher as the first traveler through Richwood, and he received me, a poor and strange boy just entering upon my 13th year of age, into the E. church The preacher was the Rev. Michael Mar ley, father ol Kev. J. f.Marley, now Presiding Elder of the Springfield Dist rict, Cincinnati Conference.

The father, after a long and successful ministry, died in 1866. and the son has been preaching the same gospel over 46 years. Behold what God hath wrought WHERE ARE THEY NOW We have talked of the first few pioneers and settlers of Richwood, which were Phillip Plummer and family, Dr. J. P.

Brookins and family, Miss Jane Coffey V. H. Frank, Absalom Carney and Mr. Evans, and those assisting in surveying the town plat, Thos. Plummer, Levi Phelps and John Fleming.

Where are they now? When I attempt to answer the question I feel a sense of lonliness and bereavement. They have crossed from the continent of matter to the shores of reality. They are all gone but the writer and I am to the margin come and I expect to die. rniuip Hummer the first and principal factor in the building of the now busy and prosperous town of Richwood, was a man of good judgement. In look ing over the tract of land called "the rich woods" he saw that it was a good country and had a future.

He at once conceived the idea and laid out the town and called it Richwood. He worked hard and faithfully for the development of the town and surrounding country, which was at that time an unbroken forest. -He was a man possessed of the kindliest feelings toward his fellows, his doctrine being "live and let live." He was of Quaker extraction a friend to all mankind and when in his power to help, a friend indeed. I am of the opinion that he did not realize financially what he should have done for the labor, self- denial and privations he encountered to make it possible for himself and others to have a goodly heritage. Some years after the time of which I write he was converted, became a Methodist minister, joined the North Ohio Conference in 1845, traveled 19 years, was a successful pastor and had many souls through his ministry brought into the fold of Christ.

These will shine as stars in his crown of rejoicing forever. He died at Galena July 4, 1864, aged 64 years, passing away hope of eternal life a triumphant death. wife died suddenly durine ness. His family about all gone, one son being killed during the war, and there are two daughters living. I gather ed these facts from his nephew, Rev, Oliver Burgess, who traveled Richwood Circuit several years ago.

Thomas Plummer, the surveyor, died many years ago at his home in Mt Vernon. jonn Fleming aied long ago. He was a local preacher in the M. church. I know but little of Absalom Carney and family after I left Richwood.

He was a good man, industrious, laboring with his might to open up the town plat for settlement. I have heard with sad ness of his tragic death he was killed by the Indians but I could not obtain the particulars. His family have no doubt passed to that undiscovered coun try from whose bourne no 'traveler re turns. Of Mr, Evans I have no knowledge of time or place of his death, but of course he also has gone to join the majority of the early pioneers of Richwood on the other shore. lie was a very industrious and kind man, a quiet and good citizen.

Dr. Brookins some years after the time left moved to Eaton, Ohio, after which, have no knowledge of him, at this writing. The Doctor, wife and Miss Jane CofTey were christian people, mem bers of the M. P. church, and no doubt, at death found a welcome in the House not made with hands, eternal in the Heavens.

Their kindness to me will have permanent place on my memory's wall while memory lasts.

asd acts of those engaged in the very first start of the now nourishing town of Ktch wood. The editor kindly said tome in his lettle, "I will send you the paper right along and you may expect to obtain it free the re mainder of your life or at least as loug aa I own the plant" I have received the Oa zettk, true to promise, right along, every week on Tuesday, since the first one about Christmas last, and it greatly interests me. When 1 contrast the town plat of Richwood when firstsurveyedwith but 12 inhabitants men, women and children, all told inolud Ing Mr. Phillip Plummer and family, who lived just outside of the town plat, with its four little cabins, with Richwood of today, as I see it in the Gazette, it seems like a dream to me. The account of the improve ments, tne churches, the schools, the general business, the Industry and enterprise, the fruit and ornamental trees and flowers, the good dwellings and comfortable homes as described in your excellent paper, The Ga zettk, makes "the rich woods" of today-spread out like a beautiful panorama before my vision.

All sprang from the small popu lation of 12 inhabitants, all told, of men, women ana emiaren in to years atro, the time of my leaving, after a residence iu monina, to go 10 Marysvilie to commence learning my trade, 1 was a resident of Marysvilie about 2o years. And now, let me say In addition. I have de sired greatly to see Rich wood, though noth ing of the early day remains. The few per sons, the four cabins, the underbrush and the giant trees are all gone, yet 1 think 1 could trace the lines of the survey of the streets and alleys while carrying one of the survey chains, with a heart full of faith and hope. My desire and prayer to God is that Richwood may continue to grow and nros- ln all things that are good and right and be notea ior righteousness that exalteth in.

They advised and encouraged meat a time when I needed it and took great interest in getting me a place in Marysvilie, where I could learn a trade- Miss Jane Coffey, niece of Dr. Brook-ins, and one of the first four women inhabitants of Richwood, married the Rev. Ziba Brown, a Protestant Methodist preacher, and went to Iowa, and Rev. Brown, I believe, was a member of the Iowa Legislature at one time. Of her after life I know nothing.

She was a good woman and I hope they were useful in life and at its close passed from labor to reward. It will be fitting for me to say that these four females were all of a noble type of woman, enduring uncomplainingly the privations, labors and self-denial incident to the life of the pioneer in the wilderness, so that others might be blessed. It is well for us while re viewing tneir works to nonor tneir memory, and as well also their immediate successors, who bore the burden and heat of thejsarly day in the building up of Richwood. It will also be well for me to say that the first few persons in Richwood at the beginning were all good citizens moral people having a high sense of right and honor. Dr.

Brookins and family were the only ones of the four residents or families of the town, at the day I men tion, that made a profession of Christianity, that I know of- yet every one were strict in their observance of the Sabbath, every one labored six days and the seventh they rested from their labors; no sound of the ax was heard, nor any labor performed on that day in Richwood. The inhabitants seemed all to agree that it took six days of labor and rest on the seventh to properly obey the fourth commandment. The first inhabitants were all temperance people I am of the opinion that not one of them drank any intoxicating liquors. As for myself I never drank any spiritous or intoxicating drinks in my life nor have I ever smoked a cigar or pipe, never chewed or used tobacco in any form in my life of about 80 years. And now I can say I am glad of it.

The human system does not need either tobacco or spiritous liquors. Boys, beware of both they are unneces sary and injurious. What is alcohol? A poison, a brain poison, a soul poison, a poison of virtue, of morals and religion, the cause of more sin than all other causes combined. "Woe unto them that follow strong drink." etc. In closing these reminiscences, and history of the acts and actors, of those engaged in the settlement of Richwood in its earliest days, I hope, kind reader, you will see by the foregoing what time, labor and perseverance will accomplish, and some of the changes that occur as time passes.

And may we all live and so number our days that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom and at life's close we may- have pleasing reflection, As a finis in regard to myself, Frederic Hosemen gives in her "Lesson of My Life" a correct statement of my feeliners I little I little now, Yet can I far 110 ill Be, who hath guided me till now, Will ha my leader ktilL I Paints and oils way down, at C.

In concluding the foregoing account, gathered from memory's tabletafter G5 yeers have passed since theoccurrence of the events and things related, I wish to state how it all came about: I have never forgotten Richwood and have always felt greatly interested in the building and growth of the town, and wherever I have been my thoughts have gone back to the 10 months of my residence there and to the few persons who were associated with me, I suppose Is because there was so few of us and that we were so closely connected lu the great enterprise of building a town in the wilderness, under such great dimculties, privations and labors. Pioneer life with all its hardships had its compensations, one of which was the feeling of equali ty ana tne coraiui menciKhJp that existed among the people, I thought I would like to see a newspaper published there at this date, and in December last I wrote a letter and addressed It to the'publisher of any newspaper In Kiehwood, Union county, Ohio, enclosing a few stamps and asking to please send me a copy of his paper, telling of my earZv connection with the survey and laying out of the town, that I had helped build the first cabin and lived lu it with Dr.

John P. Brookins, who was the first resident of Kiehwood in In due course of mall 1 received several papers The Rlcnwood Uazkttk and a kind and interesting letter signed by Mr. Geo. W. Worden, the publisher.

I knew nothing of Mr. Worden hud never heard of him before. He was unknown to me as are all the inhabitants of Kiehwood. But from the kind manner in which he treated me and my letter, I was very favorably Impressed with him. He asked me to write him a lontr letter giving him an account of the early settlement of Klohwood and the names of its first citizens.
