There are references to families, businesses, and other locations in the area. You might find something helpful, if not; it is still an interesting article. Written in 1883, appeared in a Pickaway Co, Newspaper, Dec 28, film #24672 from The Ohio Historic Society. Came across this while doing research for family. SURNAMES: BURNS, HAWKINS, PEIRCE, JEFFREYS, TEMPLIN, KING, MADDUX, DAWSON, ANDERSON, FULMER, SCARBOROUGH, MORGAN, GROVES, MANN, DAY, HOWSER, WILSON, MCHUGH, BROWN, VANDYKE,PEACOCK, GOULDSBERRY, MOSSBERGER, SMITH, RANKIN. In the first article Clarksburg Clarksburg is a fine little "burg" with some five hundred inhabitants, situated on the classic stream of Hay Run, in the midst of a fine agricultural region consisting of the bottom lands of Hay Run, Paint Creek and Deer Creek. There has been more improvement in the country round about during the last five years, than in any former twenty-five years, so say old settlers. Witness the hundreds of acres that have been cleared of timber and cultivated, the number of miles of drain-tile and sewer pipe that have been laid, the mud roads that have been graveled and the new buildings erected. This is the central point between Deerfield township, Ross county, and Deercreeek township, Pickaway county. Conundrum 1. Why does not Clarksburg belong to Pickaway county? Will some old settler rise and explain? Although situated in Ross county, it is the center of attraction for a goodly portion of Pickaway's sons and daughters, who make their "marketin" to this exchange. Conundrum 2. Why does not some enterprising individual or company institute a "ladies exchange," where other articles besides the common run of country produce such as fancy work, knitting, etc., can be taken for exhibition and exchange? Situated on a stream where there are numerous indentations in the banks, and places that with a series of dams might be utilized for fish ponds, where the famous fresh water --the carp, might be produced in quantities to suit this fish loving people. In short (conundrum 3) why don't somebody try carp farming? By the way, the gravely bottom stream--Deer Creek, seems to be very scare of fish this season. Why so? (Conundrum 4.) This "burg" positively contains no railroad, but has an eye for one in the far future. Conundrum 5--When will that one come that has has been talked as being constructed through to Clarksburg from Adelphia vis Kingston? The Postoffice is "manned" by Mrs. E. H. Burns (sister of Capt. Isaac Hawkins, P.M. of Chillicothe), who has been in the office as clerk for two years, and as Postmistress for about sixteen years, which shows her efficiency and the confidence in which she is held by the officers in charge of the P. O. department. The schools are in charge of Prof. George Peirce and Mr. Jeffreys. The mercantile interests are taken care of by the firms of Templin & Co., and Adam King. The grocery business in represented by Maddux & Co., Dawson Brothers and Anderson & Fulmer. Drugs by Scarborough & Son, for one firm, and Morgan; M.D.; for another. Sanford Groves entertains travelers at the "Seven Mile House." Religious denominations are represented by the Methodist Episcopal and Christian Churches, the former being supplied by Rev. D. Mann, stationed here, the latter, without a settled pastor. Mrs. Day carries on the millenary business; Mrs. McHugh and Miss Wilson, the dressmaking; O.M. Howser, shoe store; J. Brown saddlery and harness marker; Van Dyke, boot maker. Mr. Peacock is selling fruit trees for a Yellow Springs nursery. Mrs. Gouldsberry and Mrs. Peacock weave carpets. Mossberger and Samuel Maddux are the butchers. Other firms and enterprises are extant, "too numerous to mention." The land owned by Mrs. Ann Smith (now deceased,) and situated in both Ross and Pickaway counties, was sold Saturday December 16th, at Chillicothe. The tracts comprising 200 acres were bought by Mrs. Martha Rankin at $55 per acre. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* part of another article not completely copied, looks like it might be referring to a gathering of townsfolk for the holidays, perhaps a festival as it refers to bill of fare, and something about children. Same date 12-28-1883 SURNAMES IN SECOND ARTICLE: HARRIS, SNIFF, FOSTER, DENNIS, FRAKER, DENNIS, ELLIOTT, TEMPLIN, MCGUIRE, RADCLIFF, WHITEHURST, ADAMS, SMITH, ATER, THORPE, DUNGAN, MADDUX, DUNGAN. Bill of fare for children--pop corn, and hickory nuts. Homegrown tobacco soaks the aged in the chimney corner. Plenty of little porkers to be looked after by the farmers. Barton Harris has a very large quantity of corn in the crib. Foster's mill on Deercreek has been silent. Rev. Sniff, who preaches at Pleasant Grove, is stationed at New Holland. Mr. Fraker has been visiting his daughter, Mrs. Emma Dennis. Friends of Mr. and Mrs. John Dennis will be pleased to learn that their infant has recovered from its illness. Mrs. Elliott, living on E. W. Templin's farm, received a severe kick from a cow, last Saturday, injuring her head. Wm. McGuire has removed from Clarksburg, and taken up his residence on the Col. Radcliff farm, owned by the Whitehurst heirs. Peter Adams is back again from Missouri, on business concerning his wards, heirs to property left by Mrs. Ann Smith, decd. Aaron Ater has returned from Piatt Co;, Ill, where he has been on a visit. Thorpe, of Clarksburg is now prepared to grind corn. Married --At the residence of Geo. Dungan, Addison Maddux and Mary F. Dungan. The party went to Cincinnati on their wedding tour; to return to Clarksburg this week. John W. Ater don't believe that Holman, the New York Sun's candidate for President, will ever be elected, because he is too honest. Some people can't rest until they know where Thomas Henson could have been going in the direction of Plesant Grove, on that snowy snowy Sabbath evening. We reply by asking-- "is it any body's business If a gentelman should choose to wait upon a lday, And the lady don't refuse? Or, to speak a little plainer, that our meaning all may know, Is is any body's business If a lady has a beau? Knitting work occupies the attention of the old ladies and courting that of young ladies. If our farmers and their wives wish to improve their minds, by reading some "Lectures of Farmers" Institues," let them go to the Auditor's office, in the Court House, and ask for Agricultural Reports for 1881, which lectures are not stale yet. Clarksburg societies are the W.O.T.U. Sons and Daughters of Temperance, I.O.O.F., Roller Skate Rink Club, A Sabbath School and A Dancing Club, besides a Literary Society, public schools and church. Christmas both dry and wet. Roads terrible, where not graveled. Snow frozen enough for sledding on the farms. And now Santa Claus has departed. People who wish to be posted on their own county news, ought to subscribe for and read the Democrat and Watchman. Hope you enjoyed these articles as much as I did.
