Names mention Asbury Bryan, Sheriff Silas Brown, Sheriff
LaFayette Harp.

The jail is situated on property that was purchased soon
after the county was created on February 13, 1854.  Mr.
Asbury Bryan was paid $1,250 for the original two-story log
jail that was completed by July 20, 1855 under the
supervision of Sheriff Silas Brown.

The dimensions of the log structure were eighteen by twenty-
two feet with fifteen inches separating the double wllas.
The jail was used continuously until the new facility was
completed in 1902.  At that time Lafayette Harp served as
sheriff.
