MIDDLETOWN.

is the oldest village in the township, and is situated at the crossing of the Urbana and North Lewisburg pike with the Woodstock and Mingo pike, and is nearly a mile west of the center of the township. The orig inal plat was made by John Miller in the year 1833. Previous to this, a man named Holycross kept a small grocery at the cross-roads. As the town is

now only a fragment of its former self, it can only be described as a thing that has come and gone. A post office which was called "Brinton " was established about 1838, and Amos Brinton, Benjamin Moffit, R. Simpson, John T. McCartney and others filled the office of Postmaster up to 1872, when the office was abandoned. The principal corners were called after those who improved on them and carried on business. The southeast corner was the Walker corner; the southwest the Frizell corner; the northwest the Moffit corner, and the northeast the Pearce or Igou corner. The merchants during the years of her prosperity were Benjamin Dillon, D. & T. M. Gwynne, Holmes & Apple, Austin & White, Rhoades & Ware, Hallowell & Rhoades, Benjamin Moffitt, and Jacob S. Bailey.

Gould Johnson, George W. Crawford, McCann & Forshea practiced medicine. Allison Walker, Robert Frizell, Silas Igou, Isaac Brown, Aaron Pearce, George Bedford and Charles Hill were the hotel and boarding house keepers. John J. Harlan served the public as a blacksmith. David Smith carried on wagon-making. He died in the army.

The construction of the C., C. & I. C. Railroad through the township about 1854, and the subsequent building of Cable, together with the laying-out of Mingo, in 1866, proved the overthrow of Middletown, and from a live, busy town it has declined year after year until little of its former prosperity remains. The elections are held here.

MINGO.

This village was first called Mulberry, and was laid out by Ebenezer C. Williams in the year 1866. At the earnest protest of Thomas Hunter the name was changed to Mingo. In 1844, Alex St. Clair Hunter met Rev. B. W. Gehman on the highway, and, in his characteristic manner, said, "There will be a railroad through this valley some day, and right by that mulberry-tree will be a village." The words proved to be prophetic. The A. & G. W. R. R. was constructed, and the village came as a consequence. The original plat comprises lots from 1 to 27, lying west of the Woodstock and Mingo pike, and south of the railroad. The Spain & Tallman Addition was laid out at nearly the same time, and consists of eight lots, numbering from the railroad south, and ing east of the pike before mentioned. This pike is on the line of the Caldervood and Denny surveys. Joshua Spain and B. R. Tallman are the parties who laid out this addition.

The Guthridge saw-mill, on the north side of the railroad, was built in 1864, and before the town was laid out.

The first house built was the property now occupied by Mary Guthridge, in the fall of 1865. The next was the Biggs House, on Lot 6, the same fall. The third building was by Jonathan Guthridge, on Lot 1; Rees Miller built on Lot 4 the same fall. The large business house on the main corner was built by David Williams and J. L. Guthridge, in 1866-67. The Stevenson Flouring Mill was built by E. C. Williams, in 1865, and used as a warehouse and railroad office for nearly a year. The machinery was put in in 1866. Henry T. Raymond built the storeroom immediately west of the mill, and moved into it with a stock of goods in the winter of 1866. having Simeon L. Russell for his business partner. The John S. Hunter House was built by E. C. Williams, and occupied late in December, 1865. The Williams residence on the hill, owned by the widow of E. C. Williams, was built by her late husband in 1866, and occupied June 4, 1867. Frank Pearl built the Mitchell property, in 1867. The schoolhouse was built by the township in 1868, and Nellie P. Gilbert taught in it first in the winter of 1868-69. The storeroom owned by F. M. McAdams, on Lot 3, was built by II. T. Raymond, in the summer of 1867. The Brinton property was built in 1867; the Baptist Church was built in 1866; the M. E. Church in 1869. The carpenter work for both churches was done by Raymond & Marks.

J. L. Guthridge and J. B. Brinton established a grocery store on the corner east of Main street, in the fall of 1865. The post office of Mingo was established, and J. L. Guthridge commissioned Postmaster, in the winter of 1866. The hotel building north of the railroad was built by Mrs. Crain, in the winter of 1866.

Mingo is 105 miles from Cincinnati, and 343 miles from Salamanca, N. Y., the eastern terminus of the N. Y., P. & O). R. R. This road was built in 1864; the track rails were laid through the valley of Mingo on Sunday, April 24, 1864.

The village has two churches, one schoolhouse, three dry goods establishments, one grocery and drug store, express office, passenger depot, saw-mill, flouring-mill, three blacksmith-shops and other industrial interests.
