Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset=US-ASCII AN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF THE STATE OF INDIANA Richard S. Peale & Co., Publishers, 1875 Page 625-628 CYRUS NUTT, D.D., LL.D. He was born in Trumbull county, Ohio, September fourth, 1814. His educational opportunities were necessarily limited in so new a country. His parents were well versed in the common branches of education, and he was taught reading, writing, arithmetic, geography and grammar at home during such leisure hours as could be redeemed from manual labor. He however attended the country school in his neighborhood, when in session, which was about three months in the year. Such was young Nutt's desire for a liberal education that he improved every opportunity for the acquisition of learning; and when at the age of eighteen, his father proposed to deed him a piece of land in consideration of his faithful labors on the farm, he told him he would rather have a good education than any property. His father first spoke discouragingly, but finally agreed to give him his time and let him get an education by working his own way. He immediately went to an academy to prepare himself for college, and in four years from that time he graduated at Alleghany College, Meadville, Pa., having supported himself by teaching during the winters and at the same time keeping up his studies. He graduated in 1836, and was immediately appointed preceptor of the preparatory department in the same institution; which position he filled for six months, when he was elected to the charge of the preparatory department of Indiana Asbury University, which had just been chartered by the legislature of Indiana. Mr. Nutt was converted at a campmeeting when in his nineteenth year. He was appointed to the charge of a class of young men as class-leader while in college. He was licensed to exhort, and then to preach; and he preached his first sermon at Greencastle soon after his arrival. The first meeting of the trustees of Indiana Asbury University was held in March, 1837, at which time Dr. Nutt was elected preceptor of the preparatory department, and arrangements were made to have that department opened at an early day. It required seven or eight days at that time to make the trip from Meadville, where Mr. Nutt then resided, to Greencastle, by the most speedy mode of travel, which was stage and steamboat. Dr. Nutt left Meadville about the seventh of May, and traveled by stage to Pittsburg, and thence by steamboat to Cincinnati, and thence by stage to Greencastle, where he arrived on the sixteenth of the same month -having walked, however, from Putnamville to Greencastle, as there was, at that day, no public conveyance from the outside world to Greencastle. Dr. Nutt entered upon his duties at Greencastle on the fifth of June, 1837, commencing the preparatory department in a small, one-story brick building, with only two rooms; the larger of which was occupied by the town school. The smaller room was then the only place available; and there Dr. Nutt began the literary instruction of this since renowned university of the west. At the meeting of the board of trustee, in September of the same year, he was elected professor of languages. In 1841 he was elected professor of the Greek language and literature, and Hebrew, which position he held until 1843, when he resigned and took pastoral work in Indiana Conference, and was appointed to Bloomington station. He had been admitted into the conference at its session in Rockville, in 1838, and ordained deacon by Bishop Soule, at Indianapolis in 1840, and elder by Bishop Morris, at the conference in Centerville, in 1842. He remained in charge of Bloomington station two years, and the year following was at Salem. His ministry was eminently successful in both of these charges. In the fall of 1846, he returned to the university, having been elected to the chair of Greek language and literature, made vacant by the resignation of Prof. B. F. Tefit, who took charge of the Ladies' Repository, at Cincinnati. In 1849, Dr. Nutt was elected president of Fort Wayne Female College, which he accepted and held for one year, when he resigned and accepted the presidency of Whitewater College, which had been tendered him by the trustees of that institution, the climate of northern Indiana not agreeing with Mrs. Nutt, who was a native of Kentucky. He entered upon the duties of the presidency of Whitewater College, at Centerville, Indiana, in the fall of 1850. The school flourished under his administration, and the number of students increased from one hundred and forty to more than three hundred. During the whole of this time he held the position either of trustee of Conference visitor to Indiana Asbury University, and took a lively interest in all the affairs of the church. He remained five years at the head of Whitewater College, when he resigned to enter again upon the work of the ministry, and at the session of the North Indiana Conference, at Goshen, in 1855, he was appointed presiding elder on the Richmond district, where he remained two years; during which an almost constant revival was in progress nearly all over the district. In the fall of 1857, he was elected to the chair of Mathematics in Indiana Asbury University. He was also elected vice-president of the Faculty. Hon. David McDonald, who had been elected to the presidency of the university devolved upon Dr. Nutt for nearly two years, during one of the most critical and important periods in its history, until Rev. Thos. Bowman, D.D., took charge of the institution in the spring of 1859. The university was conducted with great skill and success by Dr. Nutt and his associates, and fully recovered from the disaster that had unfortunately overtaken it in 1856-57. In 1839, he received the degree of A.M. from his Alma Mater, Allegheny College. In 1859, he received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from the Ohio Wesleyan University and in 1873, the degree of Doctor of Laws, from Hanover College, and also from the University of Missouri. In 1860, he was a delegate to the General Conference, held at Buffalo, from Northern Indiana Conference leading his delegation, and served in that memorable session as member of the committee on the Epsicopacy, and also on the committees on Education, Judiciary, and Lay Delegation, and proved himself an industrious and useful delegate. He also served as a delegate from Indiana Conference to the General Conference, which met at Brooklyn, N.Y., in 1872, and was elected secretary of the committee on the State of Church, besides being a member and doing service on several other important committees. In 1860, Dr. Nutt was elected president of the Indiana State University at Bloomington, which position he still holds (1875) and under his prudent and skillful management the State university has greatly prospered. Five new chairs have been added to its course of instructions, a medical department, and a department of civil engineering have been created, the number of the faculty have been increased from six to twenty-six, the number of students, from about one hundred, to three hundred and fifty-eight, the annual income from five thousand six hundred dollars, to thirty thousand five hundred, the number of the alumni from two hundred and forty-two, to nine hundred and seventy three, the library from one thousand five hundred volumes, to near eight thousand. The cabinet is now one of the best in the west, and a new and beautiful building has been completed, and all the facilities for instruction have been greatly enlarged. The Indiana university now justly ranks among the very best in the land. The Sate university has prospered beyond precedent since Dr. Nutt has been at the head of its affairs. Dr. Nutt was elected president of Iowa State University in 1842, but declined to accept. He was a member of the State Teachers' Association, and established the Indiana School Journal. He was elected and served as president of the State Teachers' Association in 1863, and has been a member of the State Board of Education for nine years. Both as a minister of the gospel and an educator, Dr. Nutt has been eminently successful, and will leave upon the generation that comes after him an abiding impression for good. ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #3 Date: Wed, 29 Sep 1999 21:43:48, -0500 From: AUPQ38A@prodigy.com (MRS GINA M REASONER) To: OH-FOOTSTEPS-L@rootsweb.com Message-Id: <199909300143.VAA09622@mime3.prodigy.com> Subject: TOWNSEND RYAN - BUTLER COUNTY Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset=US-ASCII AN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF THE STATE OF INDIANA Richard S. Peale & Co. Publishers, 1875 Page 670-671 TOWNSEND RYAN Townsend Ryan was born in Lancaster City, Pa., in 1813, and in early manhood removed to Hamilton, Butler county, Ohio, where he engaged in the mercantile business, and in the management of a line of canal packets of which he was principal owner, running from that city to Cincinnati. Prostrated by the great financial wave which swept the country from 1836 to 1839, he removed to Indiana, where, after graduation at the medical colleges of Cincinnati, and Jefferson, of Philadelphia, he engaged actively in the practice of medicine and achieved a reputation and success unexcelled by that of any physician in the west. Locating in Anderson, in Madison county, in 1843, he at once became identified with the best interests of his new location and the people among whom he lived. A democrat in politics, he took a vigorous part in the campaign of 1844, and became the candidate of his party in 1846 for the State Legislature, to which he was elected, defeating the whig candidate, R.A. Williams, and being the first democrat sent from that county. In 1850, when the Bellefontaine railroad, now the C.C.C. and I. was in contemplation, the people knowing but little of such enterprises, opposed the project strongly, on the ground that its construction would supersede the use of horses, oxen, etc., and thereby entail great loss. This, and similar ideas had to be combatted. The subject of this sketch, together with Judge Davis, of that county, took hold of the enterprise, and not only secured, finally, a subscription from the county, but sufficient general aid to secure Anderson a railroad. Engaging, about this time, in the mercantile business, he continued in that until 1854, when, together with other parties, contracted with the company to build the junction railroad from Rushville to Indianapolis, embarking an ample fortune in that enterprise all of which was swallowed up in the collapse of the corrupt concern, commencing anew the practice of his profession. The newly projected Richmond, Newcastle and Logansport railroad received his aid; with that he labored until the cars run into Anderson. In 1860, when the menace of war went abroad through the North, he declared at once for the Union, and was the first democrat in 1861, in the county, to declare in favor of the Union and the war policy of Lincoln. Being one of the finest and most effective public speakers in the State, he gave his time and did valiant service in raising troops to answer the various calls of the President, and although past middle age, and broken down in health, he took the post of Lieutenant-Colonel of the 34th Indiana infantry and went with it into active service, and was promoted, in 1862, to the colonelcy of the regiment on the resignation of Asbery Steele. He continued with the regiment until after the capture of New Madrid and Island No. 10, when his health becoming feeble compelled him to resign. Not content to be out of service, however, he soon after again went into the service as surgeon of the 52d Indiana, and served with the regiment in the terrible fights in the Yazoo above Vicksburg, and in the battles of Fort Gibson, Raymond, Champion Hills, and Black river, previous to the investment of Vicksburg, taking part with the regiment in that event. From thence with the regiment he went to western Louisiana, and was finally mustered out of service with the regiment at New Orleans, by reason of expiration of the term of service. ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #4 Date: Wed, 29 Sep 1999 21:43:41, -0500 From: AUPQ38A@prodigy.com (MRS GINA M REASONER) To: OH-FOOTSTEPS-L@rootsweb.com Message-Id: <199909300143.VAA14190@mime3.prodigy.com> Subject: UNRETURNING BRAVE-MAHONING CO.
