Jacques Vieau built a trading post among the Indians and, in 1818, he had a white neighbor, Hypolite Grignon, and a clerk to work at the post; additionally, \"James Kinzie is expected, with a large stock of goods from the American Fur Company\" located in Mackinac. Growth of the town was slow during these early years but trade with the Indians and trappers was good, increasing steadily over the next few years. In 1832, the Sauk (Indian) War broke out, and most of the Indians were removed \"beyond the Mississippi;\" white settlers took advantage of the tamed country and flocked into the area. By 1837 \"the population [of Milwaukee] was between six and seven hundred.\" To read this interesting history is to learn about the growth pangs of a mid-western city — similar in so many ways to the establishment and growth of cities on the eastern seaboard — including: altercations between whites and Indians, murder, establishment of a newspaper and a harbor, the hard times of 1837, road and bridge building, incorporation of the city, elections, churches, and more.

In the mid-nineteenth century, the Quakers established the town, naming it for the beautiful \"Fairmount Park\" in the Quaker city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Civil War claimed the attention of the community and also claimed the lives of several who died in the Northern army. Growth of the town and its population following the war was slow but soon quickened with the coming of the railroads. Natural gas discoveries and gas exploitation dominated the 1890s. Factories, particularly glass factories, were built to utilize the gas. The first years of the twentieth century saw further development of the institutions that gave added meaning to the lives of Grant County citizens. Churches and educational facilities, as well as industrial and commercial enterprises, were all enhanced by technological advances that made possible the electric lights, telephones and automobiles that now appear on the scene. The Spanish-American War and the War in the Philippines caused hardly a ripple in the community, even though several men served in the military during these conflicts.

David Cornwell's salty, vivid descriptions of his wartime service are layered in among peacetime annotations about his life before and after the war. His stark and often shocking accounts of bitter, bloody hand-to-hand combat at Fort Donelson, Shiloh and Milliken's Bend make this work outstanding for anyone fascinated by the Civil War...especially those interested primarily in the very early 1863 use of Union Colored troops in the Western Theater. Cornwell's service included intensely fought infantry action, assignments in the 2nd Illinois Light Artillery, recruitment, training and equipping slaves who were taken (under duress) from nearby Mississippi and Louisiana plantations. He served as ordinary infantryman, artilleryman, (both light and heavy), and commander of black occupation-garrison troopers.

By 1833, lots in the 160-acre village of Mendon were being sold to more and more newcomers. Many of these early settlers were from Kentucky and Connecticut. In 1867, Mendon was incorporated as a town. The first privately owned newspaper in Mendon, the Mendon Enterprise, was published in 1877. The following year its name changed to the Mendon Dispatch. While conducting their own genealogical research in twenty-five years' worth of early issues of these newspapers, Mrs. Beal and Mrs. Kirchner realized that other genealogists might be interested in the wealth of family names and interesting information they were discovering. Accordingly, they created this alphabetical listing, which contains more than three thousand names. The abstracted wedding or related announcements from the newspapers are transcribed under the names of the husbands, but brides' names are usually listed, too, with cross-references to their husbands' names. Most of the abstracts are wedding announcements, but significant anniversaries and an occasional divorce are listed as well. The amount of information in individual abstracts varies widely but usually includes the names of bride and groom, with their place of origin and the wedding date. Many listings are much more gossipy and contain such information as occupations, ages, honeymoon plans, previous marriages and officiating clergy.

While these volumes will be found in many large libraries, and are still in print in a reprint edition, they are very difficult to use because the data was arranged geographically rather than alphabetically. The present work resolves this difficulty for Ohio researchers by providing an index, arranged alphabetically by surname, to all the persons listed with an Ohio residence. The index citations give the person's full name, the Ohio county of residence, and the page number where the entry can be found in the original listing. Armed with this information, the researcher can then consult the original listing for other data including the post office address, basis for the pension, monthly rate, and the certificate number for persons of interest.

This paper, founded in 1807, is published in Lebanon, Ohio. Mr. Bogan has been writing his column since January of 1993. In this book, he has collected and consolidated a diverse assortment of his articles relating to Warren County history. His chapter titles include: Warren County, Towns and Villages, Transportation, American Civil War, Biographical Sketches, Native Americans, Religious Denominations, and Lebanon, Ohio. There are articles on everything from pioneers demanding a system of county roads to courageous participants in the Underground Railroad, from facts about the corn canning industry to the origins of the Stetson cowboy hat, from political battles among local towns to communal bonding through such experiences as the devasting Harveysburg fire in 1939. A wide range of historical periods is covered. The Ohio researcher will find many names, from prominent citizens listed in the biographical sketches to happy elementary school children celebrating Easter or making the honor roll in the 1920s and '30s. An everyname index makes it easy to look up particular individuals.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDallas R.

Accordingly, they created this alphabetical listing, which contains more than forty-six hundred names. Most of these obituary abstracts are a couple of lines long and include the name of the deceased, age and cause of death. Many, however, are much more detailed and identify surviving relatives, service to the community and church affiliation. Probate records, including the appointment of estate executors, constitute most of the other death related items.
