Bringing the story to life K9, deputy visit students By Sarah Hawley shawley@aimmediamidwest.com RACINE — For students at Southern Elementary a story they have been reading was brought to life on Thursday morning. Third grade students have been reading about K-9 Aero and Officer Mike in class, learning about the life of a police officer and his canine partner. The story was written by Joan Plummer Russell. On Thursday Meigs County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Tylun Campbell and K-9 Cheri visited the students, showing some of Cheri’s skills and answering questions from the students. Before Deputy Campbell and Cheri arrived the students and their teachers talked about the story, the work that went into the author’s story — she rode with the office and canine twice a month for two years — and what type story it is. They also discussed possible questions to ask Deputy Campbell, including what makes a question versus a statement and what questions would be good to ask. While students were not able to actually ride along like the author did, they did get to learn about the life of a canine officer and see some of her training in action. Students were curious how high Cheri could jump; how fast she could run; what type training she had completed; and many other things. Deputy Campbell had two students hide items on the playground to demonstrate how Cheri is able to track the scent to the items.

They didn’t fish for enjoyment, and it wasn’t just a hobby. They fished because that is how they made their God’s Kids living, so it Korner was important Pastor Ann whether they Moody caught fish or not. They needed to catch and sell fish, so they had money to live. Our Bible lesson this week is from Luke 5:1-11 and is about a miraculous fishing trip. The story begins with Jesus preaching on the shore beside the sea of Galilee. Jesus had become very popular, so there was a huge crowd of people gathered around Him, and they kept pressing closer, so that they could hear Him better. Jesus noticed two empty boats at the water’s edge where the fishermen were washing, drying, and putting away their nets. Jesus stepped into one of the boats and asked the boats’ owner, Simon Peter, to move it out a little further from the shore. Then Jesus sat down in the boat and preached to the people from there. The open air and water helped to magnify His voice and also keep the people back. When Jesus had finished teaching, he said to Simon Peter, “Move on out into the deep water and let down your nets down again to catch some fish.” But Simon Peter answered Him, “We have fished all night without catching a thing, but if You say so, I will let down my nets again.” This time the nets were so full of fish that they began to break. Simon Peter had to call his fishing partners James and John to help get the nets aboard, and soon both boats were so full of fish that they were about to sink. When Simon Peter saw what had happened, he was filled with awe and perhaps a little afraid to be in the presence of someone with so much power. He fell on his knees before Jesus and said, “Leave me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord.” Jesus said to him, “Don’t be afraid because from now on, you will fish for men and women.” When they got back to shore, Peter, James, and John pulled their boats up on the beach, left their boats and nets, and followed Jesus. What did Jesus mean when he told them they would be fishing for men and women? Obviously, He didn’t mean that they would go out and throw a net over them. What He meant was that just as they had been bringing the fish into their boats, they would now be bringing people into the Kingdom of God. Jesus wants you and me to be fishers of people too. That means that we will tell the people we meet about Jesus, so that they can know Him and become His followers too. Jesus wants us to serve Him, trust Him, and never be afraid to obey Him. It might sound scary to try to tell someone about Jesus, but He will give us the words we need to say to them. A good start may be just to smile and say hello to someone or invite them to go to church with you. Jesus will help you when the time is right, and you can be fishers of people too! Let’s say our prayer for the week. Heavenly Father, just as Jesus called His early disciples to fish for people, He has called us to tell others about His love, so that we might bring them into the Kingdom. Help us to be faithful to become fishers of people just like the first disciples. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Ann Moody is pastor of Wilkesville First Presbyterian Church and the Middleport First Presbyterian Church. Daily Sentinel Don’t forget to love yourself Last semester, I learned a Hebrew prayer known as the Shema. Jews view the Shema in a similar way that Christians view the Lord’s Prayer. But there’s certainly a difference. Devout Jews actually recite the Shema twice a day. You may be wondering where this prayer comes from. It’s actually in your Bible! Moses says, “‘Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might’” (Deut. 6:4-5 ESV). I can actually recite those two verses in Hebrew. The Jews recite more than two verses, but those two verses are the essence of the Shema. Moses spoke those words to the Children of Israel before entering the Promised Land. God commanded His people to follow over 600 rules. Why? Well, before Jesus, that was the only way to be right with God. Poor people. Speaking of Jesus, He recited part of the Shema in the New Testament. “But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question phrase which reads, “… to test him. ‘Teacher, as yourself.” which is the great comJesus says, “‘And a mandment in the Law?’ second is like it: You And he said to him, shall love your neigh‘You shall love the Lord bor as yourself’” (v. 39 your God with all your ESV). heart and with all your So, yeah.

Out of roughly 600 laws in the you love yourself. I’m currently learning the Old Testament, the Shema is the most important. The great- importance of loving myself.

If you’re of Jesus’s statement, there’s a not healthy, then it’s awfully hard to help someone else be healthy. Seek God for yourself. This is called spiritual health. Read His Word. Pray. Form relationships with other people in your church. On another note, take care of your body. It’s not selfish to exercise, get help from medical professionals, or simply rest. The Bible says, “Dear friend, I hope all is well with you and that you are as healthy in body as you are strong in spirit” (3 John 1:2 NLT). Have fun by doing things you enjoy. The Bible says there’s a time to laugh and dance (see Ecc. 3:4). There’s nothing wrong with being happy. I feel like some Christians view happiness as a sin. God desires you to enjoy life within the context of His Word. He wants you to be happy. It’s not selfish. If you’re not happy, then it’s going to be awfully hard to help someone else be happy. Maybe the best thing you can do today is watch a movie or play a game. By all means, love God. By all means, love people. But don’t forget to love yourself.

Following the hard-fought contest, SHS head coach Alan See EDGE | 9 New Big 12 coaches busy on signing day; OU, Texas all set FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Oklahoma and Texas each had only one spot to fill in their top-10 recruiting classes. The four Big 12 schools with new coaches were a bit busier Wednesday. New Kansas coach Les Miles added nine players in the second signing period, including running back and former Michigan commitment Amauri Pesek-Hickson, for an initial Jayhawks class of 19 signees. “There’s a rare combination here between strong and thick and physical and athletic and with speed,” said Miles, the former LSU and Oklahoma State coach. Kansas State coach Chris Klieman, who didn’t start full-time with the Wildcats until after North Dakota State’s latest FCS national championship in early January, got their class to 23 with seven more players. Matt Wells also added seven more signees at Texas Tech, after 11 before Christmas soon after he left Utah State for the Big 12. “All these kids want to be in Lubbock and help us take this program from good to great,” Wells said. “We’re excited to coach the ones who want to be here.” New West Virginia coach Neal Brown signed three defensive players, even as the former Troy coach is still in the process of delegating recruiting responsibilities for his staff. Brown said none of the 16 players from the December signing class sought to get out of their national letter of intent after Dana Holgorsen left for Houston right after the new year. Brown said his staff spent the past month “making sure they felt comfortable with the situation here.” Some things to know about signing day in the Big 12: From USC to Texas While highly touted receiver Bru McCoy wasn’t part of the initial Texas signees in December, he is one of 10 early enrollees who will take part in spring practice with the Longhorns after he transferred from Southern California. “I applaud Bru on his courageousness for saying, ‘This is not where his heart is, and I’m going to do something to change that,’” said Longhorns coach Tom Herman, who still is unsure if McCoy will be eligible for the 2019 season.

Michigan lands Big Ten’s top class By Eric Olson The Associated Press Michigan finished the football recruiting cycle with the top class in the Big Ten, and four other conference programs were ranked in the top 25 in the nation Wednesday. Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh added one player on the second letter-of-intent signing day to a 26-man class that was No. 1 in the Big Ten and No. 8 nationally, according to the 247Sports.com composite rankings. It was Michigan’s first top ranking in the Big Ten since 2007. Penn State coach James Franklin assembled a 23-man class made up of players from 11 states, including three from Florida and one from Oregon. The Nittany Lions were ranked No. 2 in the conference and No. 13 nationally. Ohio State, which had been No. 1 in Big Ten recruiting eight years in a row and in 10 of the last 11, slipped to No. 3 during the coaching transition from Urban Meyer to Ryan Day. The Buckeyes’ No. 14 national ranking was their lowest since 2010 and ended a streak of eight straight classes ranked seventh or higher. The drop is partly attributable to the 17-man class being Ohio State’s smallest since 2007. Nebraska and Purdue had the top two classes in the Big Ten West, coming in at Nos. 4 and 5 in the conference and Nos. 20 and 25 in the nation. Four-star safety Quinten Johnson out of St. John’s College High in Washington was the only player to sign with Michigan on Wednesday. He’s drawn comparisons to ex-Wolverines star Jabrill Peppers, who played both defense and offense in 2015-16. Johnson has said he would be willing to do the same. Kansas City-area three-star athlete Amauri Pesek-Hickson decommitted Monday over a disagreement about Harbaugh’s request that he delay his enrollment and go to prep school. Pesek-Hickson signed with Kansas. International flavor Penn State went all the way to Germany to bring in defensive tackle Joseph Darkwa. The 6-5, 270-pounder, whose mother moved from Ghana about 30 years ago, comes from the Dusseldorf Panthers’ U-19 team in the German Football League. He also had offers from UCLA, Georgia Tech and Colorado, among other schools. Jay LaPrete | AP file Ryan Day’s first signing day as head coach of the Buckeyes began by losing four-star offensive lineman Doug Nester, who flipped to Virginia Tech. The Buckeyes then beat out Southern California for four-star offensive lineman Enokk Vimahi of Kahuku, Hawaii. Lose one, gain two Ohio State, which must replace four of its five starting offensive linemen, beat out Southern California for four-star guard Enokk Vimahi of Kahuku, Hawaii, and three-star tackle Dawand Jones of Indianapolis. The signings cushioned the blow of the Buckeyes losing four-star offensive lineman Doug Nester of Huntington, West Virginia, who flipped to Virginia Tech. Vimahi and Jones completed a strong class of offensive linemen. The Buckeyes in December signed five-star center Harry Miller of Buford, Georgia, and four-star tackle Ryan Jacoby of Mentor, Ohio. “O-line was an area of concern for us,” Day said. “We had to go out there and kind of uncover all the stones. Flying out to Hawaii, staying for three hours, getting on a redeye back to Columbus was part of that plan. We wouldn’t just go over to Hawaii if it wasn’t a good fit. It was.” Rising Purdue The recruiting tide continues to rise for Jeff Brohm at Purdue. The Boilermakers signed four four-star prospects in December, including two who will join a receiving corps that includes Big Ten freshman of the year Rondale Moore. Over three years Purdue has gone from 14th to 11th to fifth in the conference recruiting ratings and from 72nd to 51st and 25th nationally. Maryland’s fast finish Maryland was the most active team in the Big Ten on Wednesday, adding 11 members to new coach Mike Locksley’s 17-man class. The most notable signing was Lance LeGendre, a quarterback from New Orleans who chose the Terrapins over Florida State. The addition of the four-star LeGendre helped move the Terrapins from 14th to 12th in the Big Ten — still a long way from the No. 5 class brought in last year by former coach DJ Durkin. “I feel real good about the team we have coming back. These 17 individuals will add to it,” Locksley said. “We feel like we hit home runs with the guys we signed.” FRIDAY EVENING BROADCAST 3 (WSAZ) 4 (WTAP) 6 (WSYX) 7 (WOUB) 8 (WCHS) 10 (WBNS) 11 (WVAH) 12 (WVPB) 13 (WOWK) CABLE 6 PM 6:30 WSAZ News 3 (N) WTAP News (N) ABC 6 News at 6pm (N) Arthur NBC Nightly News (N) NBC Nightly News (N) ABC World News (N) Newswatch 6 PM 6:30 7 PM 7:30 Wheel of Jeopardy!

At least he got one postseason trophy. Mayfield, who finished second to New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley in voting for NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, was named Cleveland’s top professional athlete at the Greater Cleveland Sports Awards on Wednesday night. Following a season in which he broke the league’s rookie touchdown record and made the Browns relevant again, Mayfield was selected over Indians All-Stars Corey Kluber and Jose Ramirez and Browns cornerback Denzel Ward. LeBron James was not a finalist despite leading the Cavaliers to their fourth NBA Finals last June — a month before the superstar left for the second time as a free agent. If James crushed the feelings of Cleveland fans, Mayfield helped soothe them by leading the beloved Browns to a 7-8-1 record following an 0-16 season. The No. 1 overall pick in last year’s draft, Mayfield began the season as a backup to Tyrod Taylor before coming off the bench in Week 3 and leading the Browns to a win over the New York Jets to snap Cleveland’s 19-game winless streak. His performance last season has Browns fans convinced a first Super Bowl visit isn’t far away. “That should be the expectation,” Mayfield said backstage. “It shouldn’t be that the whole town goes crazy over one win on a Thursday. It should be the expectation that we need to be competing in the playoffs every year.” He was introduced by Kosar, who didn’t even bother opening the winner’s envelope. Last week, Mayfield finished as a runner-up to Barkley, who received more votes from a panel of 50 media members for the AP’s rookie award. “I’ll use it as motivation, but the more important thing is winning football games,” Mayfield said. “Yeah, it’s more frustrating than anything because Saquon, that’s my guy, and he’ll hold it over my head forever. But you know what? I’ll use that as motivation, and I’ll be better in the long run.” Mayfield owes Barkley a chain necklace for winning the award, and said he’ll use the jewelry to make fun of Barkley’s massive quadriceps. “It’ll say ‘Quads’ on it, not ‘Sa-quads’ but just ‘Quads,’” Mayfield said. “The two extra letters in there cost a little bit extra money, so we’ll stick with just ‘Quads.’” Mayfield was featured along with numerous football Hall of Famers in the NFL’s 100th-anniversary commercial, which aired during the Super Bowl. In the spot, Brady handed Mayfield his Super Bowl rings, which Clevelanders hope is a symbolic passing of the torch. “Obviously, being a part of something like that is very special,” Mayfield said. “Some of the names in that, if you told me last year that I would be a part of a commercial like that, I would’ve told you you’re absolutely lying. So to be able to be a part of a commercial with legends like that and actually be next to Tom Brady, no matter what you think about it, that’s the greatest of all time.

Welcome to Meigs County Welcome to Meigs County, where you will find rich history, rolling hills, the beautiful Ohio River, and a closeknit community that is “obnoxiously proud” to call this part of southeastern Ohio home. This year is extra special, as we are celebrating our Bicentennial! There are multiple events planned throughout 2019 to celebrate 200 years of Meigs County. We are proud of our history and hope you will take the time to read about some of it in this guide. One thing we love is the many visitors who come back time and time again to enjoy the natural beauty and peaceful atmosphere we sometimes take for granted. If you ask any of our downtown Pomeroy merchants, as well as others across the county, they will tell you just how many out-of-towners shop in their stores regularly. Anytime we go out to one of our big, local events it’s always fascinating to discover the number of folks who visit here from out of town. From the Blues and Brews Bash to the Sternwheel Regatta to the Christmas shopping season, there are so many wonderful people who love to come here. Some grew up in Meigs County and love to revisit their roots every now and then. Others started coming here years ago to hunt or to attend one of our popular festivals. What we hear the most is that they love the people and they love the beauty and uniqueness of our home. We may not have a hotel in the county but we have campgrounds, cabins, bed and breakfasts, and Airbnb options. That’s part of what makes us unique. When people come here, they get to experience something a little different than what they are used to. So whether it is your first time in Meigs County or you are a regular visitor, there are many “can’t miss” stops while you are here. From brussel sprouts at Court Grill (try them even if you aren’t normally a fan of the green vegetable, trust us on this one), to homemade pie at Millie’s (you can’t go wrong here, they are all good), or a cold drink of Meigs County’s own beer at Maple Lawn Brewery, there is plenty to enjoy when it comes to food and drinks. But Meigs County has more to offer. Take a drive through the hills in the fall; visit Forked Run State Park in the summer for a swim or a trip around the lake in a kayak; or catch a glimpse of a passing boat while at one of the many parks and walking paths along the beautiful Ohio River. And don’t forget about the music. Whether it’s at Jorma Kaukonen’s Fur Peace Ranch, Charlie’s Red Star Barn, or Court Grill, Meigs County is the place to find live music throughout the year. So whether you are coming to play for a day, or staying for a while, Meigs County welcomes you. Dwayne Dopsie performs at the Big Bend Blues Bash.

Bordered by 57.2 miles of Ohio River frontage, Meigs County offers a beautiful place not only to enjoy boating and water sports, but also fishing and wildlife. We invite you to come and enjoy the beauty of our county. With several family-friendly festivals that take place throughout the summer and rich historical places to check out, Meigs County is a unique place to visit. Charming communities along the river and a flourishing arts and music scene are all here for you to enjoy. Meigs County has several unique shops. Shops from primitive items and antiques to designer clothing and more. Our shops are all ran by some of the nicest business owners around who are quick to appreciate your business. As we have entered 2019, we have the distinct honor of celebrating our bicentennial. On January 21, 1819, the Ohio General Assembly passed an act to create Meigs County. The official formation of Meigs County, the election of the first county officials, and the first county meetings, would not occur until April 1819. The Meigs County Bicentennial Committee has several events planned throughout the year with a weekend celebration starting April 27, 2019 at 10am with a parade. Check out the bicentennial Facebook page! It can be found at https://www.facebook.com/meigscounty200/ Tim Ihle, Meigs County Commissioner, Board President 2019 I am obnoxiously proud of Meigs County because of the people who reside here. If one person needs help, there are many who turn out to help. If one person is struggling, many are there to pray for them. If one person is successful in business, many come out to support and celebrate. If one person is down, many are there to lift them up. Martin Luther King Jr once said, “We may have all come on different ships, but we’re in the same boat now.” And that is the image I see when Meigs County comes together.” Rev. Randy Smith, Meigs County Commissioner OH-70101557 We are a family in Meigs County. What is a (F.A.M.I.L.Y)? Forgetting - About - Myself - I - Love - You” Commissioner Mike Bartrum, Board Vice President 2019 YOUR GUIDE TO MEIGS COUNTY 2019 Many years ago, I worked for the railroad in central Pennsylvania. I received many comments about my dialect, which you have whether you believe it or not. One day a gentleman I was working with asked me where I was from. I proudly responded, “southeastern Ohio” to which he responded, “I could tell you were from southern somewhere.” I appreciate our dialect because it has a casual comfort that radiates kindness. Perhaps our heritage that comes out in speech is a good representation of us.

Discover what area of Meigs County Washington described in his journal a few days later. Daniel Boone wandered through the same area a few years later. Hamilton Kerr, another old Indian fighter, had a hunting camp at Kerrs Run in what is now Pomeroy. He liked the area so much he led a group of settlers here that started the village of Middleport. He built a house nearby and started the local branch of the Underground Railroad. Incidents on that branch included arrests, jailbreaks, shootouts and a landmark case in the Ohio Supreme Court. Men from Rutland were heavily involved in the major events of this trail. That trail was featured in a movie starring Louis Gossett, Jr. Speaking of trails, the Lewis and Clark expedition stopped at Buffington Island on their way west to explore the Louisiana Purchase. That was just the start of events that happened near the island. Ohio’s oldest standing courthouse is in Chester. Check out the old academy next door. Middleport was the first county seat. Chester was second. Pomeroy’s current courthouse was third. Just about anybody would be happy to tell you why Pomeroy’s courthouse is unique. Pomeroy’s founder was Valentine B. Horton. He was quite the industrialist developing coal and salt here to the point it led the nation in production of both. Horton was a friend of Abraham Lincoln, which almost got Ohio State University located in Pomeroy rather than Columbus. Horton did build the “Condor,” the first coal powered steamboat. Sadly, the town misplaced the body of his sister-in-law. She was the daughter of an early Ohio Governor. Also misplaced were the bodies of his father-in-law, brother-in-law, another sister-in-law and a niece. All is well that ends well. We know where they are now, if you want to see. Times were changing in Meigs County powered by waves of German immigrants. If you look sharp in Pomeroy and Middleport, you can see the signs of their culture everywhere. Downtown Pomeroy is on the National Register of Historic Places as an example of a small German industrial town. The Germans volunteered by the hundreds to fight to end slavery in the Civil War. Over 600 citizens died in that war. Check out the monument to them beside the courthouse. Confederate General A.G. Jenkins led the first Southern army to invade the North. He crossed into Meigs County at Buffington Island. I told you there was lots of history that happened near that island. In one night, Jenkins managed Sunrise over the Ohio River.

This year marks Meigs County’s 200th birthday and the celebrations and events began this January and continue throughout the calendar year. Formed in 1819 from portions of Gallia and Athens counties, Meigs County was named in honor of former governor Return Jonathan Meigs Jr. On Jan. 21, 1819, the Ohio government authorized the creation of Meigs County. It was a few months later in April 1819, that the first county government meeting was held, according to jour- nal entries kept at the commissioner office. In the Meigs County Historical Society newsletter, MCHS President James K. Stanley states, “According to Hardesty’s Historical & Geographical Encyclopedia Illustrated, on January 21, 1819, the Ohio ‘General Assembly passed an act to erect the county of Meigs’ — which was created from part of Athens and Gallia Counties — and The Pioneer History of Meigs County Ohio states that Meigs County was formed on April 1, 1819, the first county officials were elected on April 5, 1819, and newly-elected county commissioners conducted the county’s first official meeting on April 30, 1819.” The county’s first courthouse, which still stands today, was constructed in 1823 in Chester. The courthouse served as the seat of county government until 1840. By June 1841, the county seat had been moved to Pomeroy, in a building where Trinity Church is now located on Lynn Street. The current court house opened in 1850, and is unique in that it has ground floor entrance on all three levels. Several events and celebrations are being planned for 2019 to commemorate the anniversary, the first of which was held on Monday, Jan. 21, coincidentally, the day the county was founded. Each month the Bicentennial Committee will be unveiling a Bicentennial Historical Marker to recognize a historic place or event. One maker will be placed in each of the county’s 12 townships, the first being in Salisbury The Meigs County Courthouse in Pomeroy and Court Street are seen in an undated photo. The Meigs County Courthouse has been the home of the county’s government since 1850. Township. The first marked the former “Kerrs Run Colored School” which was in Pomeroy’s First Ward. The school was in operation in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s and still stands on Kerrs Run. Each subsequent marker will be unveiled on the third Wednesday of each month. Locations will be announced in The Daily Sentinel and on the Meigs County Bicentennial Facebook page prior to each month’s event as not all located have been selected at this time. The main Bicentennial Celebration will take place April 26-28 with a series of events. As part of that event, Meigs County Civil War Days will take place at the Meigs County Fairgrounds, hosted by the 7th Ohio Volunteer Cavalry. The event will begin on Friday, April 26 with area students coming See CELEBRATING | 17 Photo from the collection of Bob Graham 16 Happy 200th! like us on facebook OH-70104099 YOUR GUIDE TO MEIGS COUNTY 2019 Ohio Valley Publishing wishes to congratulate Meigs County on it’s Bicentennial!

This event will take place near the Civil War Monument at the Meigs County Courthouse. Throughout the remainder of Saturday, vendors will be set up in town and entertainment will take place. Reenactors will also be taking part in the day’s events, with the details of a possible battle still being worked out. On Saturday evening a Civil War Ball is being planned at Wolfe Mountain Entertainment, with more details to be announced later. The weekend’s events will conclude on Sunday, April 28, with a reenactment to be held at the Fairgrounds. Currently there are around 100 reenactors registered to take part. Logo and Memorabilia While the main logo for the bicentennial has been released, five additional logos are planned for the year to represent different eras and locations in the county. The second logo is expected to be released in March. In addition to the events, commemorative lapel pins are available with the From page 16 to the fairgrounds to see a battle, demonstrations and other activities, as well as learn about some of the county’s history. Later on Friday evening will be the annual Chester Shade Historical Association Banquet which will follow the bicentennial theme. On Saturday, a parade is being planned for 10 a.m. in Pomeroy and possibly Middleport. The first of 12 Bicentennial Markers was unveiled in January 2019 with one to be unveiled each month throughout the year.

Pickens For 200 years, Meigs County has occupied the near-center of the Buckeye State’s frontage on the beautiful Ohio River. After British and German pioneer families initially settled the area, the first families of Meigs County took advantage of river commerce and developed an industrial base by mining for coal and salt which found markets all across the United States. Meigs County was founded on Jan. 21, 1819, by sectioning out portions of neighboring Athens and Gallia Counties. Meigs County is named for Return Jonathan Meigs, Jr., who served in the U.S. Senate, was Postmaster General of the United States, and was governor of Ohio from 1810 to 1814. In 1836, Meigs County industrialist-turnedcongressman Valentine B. Horton built America’s first coal-fired steamboat, the Condor, and invented the coal barge, forever changing America’s transportation of coal. In the 1880s when railroads crossed the county, Hobson Yards provided employment for hundreds of “Iron Horse” workers. With the demise of steam locomotives as well as an agriculturally based economy, Meigs County languished for a time until a 1970s coal revival ushered in three decades worth of renewed economic growth. Some of Meigs County’s most famous natives include: Ambrose Bierce, an American editorialist, journalist, short story writer, fabulist, and satirist; best Photo Ph Pho h to ho to Courte Cou Courtesy ourte rtesy rt sy of Jor Jordan dann Pickens Picke Pi ckens ns The Sprague in 1903 first trip up the Ohio passing Pomeroy. known for his short stories “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” and “The Devil’s Dictionary;” James Edwin Campbell, an African American poet, editor, author of short stories, and the first president of the West Virginia Colored Institute, now West Virginia State University; Reverend Father John Joseph Jessing, founder of the Pontifical College Josephinum in Columbus, Ohio; Samuel Dana Horton, a bimetallism writer who was sent by President Benjamin See HISTORY | 19 18 Be sure to keep up with our moving progress OH-70101550 YOUR GUIDE TO MEIGS COUNTY 2019 Meigs County Historical Society 144 Butternut Avenue, Pomeroy, Ohio Hours: Wednesday-Friday: 1pm-5pm Saturday 12pm-4pm www.info@meigschs.org 399 South 3rd Middleport, Ohio 740-992-3810 �Bicentennial From page 10 YOUR GUIDE TO MEIGS COUNTY 2019 to scare a bunch of farmers and capture Racine before re-crossing the Ohio River to safety. The only casualty was a Confederate soldier who drowned in the race to be the first Southerner to reach the Ohio shore. The raid had been an embarrassment for the citizens of Meigs County. They had been ridiculed for not defending their homes. They would do better the next time. They got their chance the next year. Confederate General John Hunt Morgan invaded the North with a much larger army of cavalry. Their route from Tennessee to Meigs County is well marked by highway signage. This time the county’s citizens had time to prepare and fought back slowing Morgan before he could escape back across the Ohio River. Northern armies forced him into the only Civil War battle in Ohio. It involved a few thousand troops. You can walk the battlefield at Portland but the battle was not named for the town. It was named for the island in the river — the Battle of Buffington Island. The island is important to our history. Check out the museum and Indian mound on the battlefield. There are several very good books on the raid and the battle. The Confederate prisoners were taken to Pomeroy and held until they were shipped to prisoner of war camps. Where were they held in Pomeroy? The site was right beside where we found those missing bodies of Valentine Horton’s family. Take a minute to see the small cannon in front of the Civil War Monument by the court house in Pomeroy. It had been captured in the Mexican War and brought to Pomeroy. Ironically, Lincoln, Horton and the citizens of Meigs County had opposed that war. The cannon has only been fired twice since coming to Pomeroy. Once it was fired to stop Morgan from crossing the Ohio River and once it was fired as a salute to singer Jenny Lind as she steamed by on her way to Cincinnati. Also, you can check out the array of cannons in Legion Park in Middleport. There are cannons from the Civil War, World War II and a very rare German cannon from World War I under the gazebo. Meigs County resident Nelson Story left “Bungtown” for the West where he became one of the most famous ranchers and cattle drivers. There are books about his adventures. “Lonesome Dove” is supposedly based on his life. Research on Parkinson’s Disease started in Pomeroy — there is a marker for that. All those German immigrants were treated much differently during the First World War. They were seen as possible conspirators. Take a ride up to the Minersville Hill Cemetery to see how all that hatred manifested itself. They really were loyal citizens and had been for decades. Check out the PBS video on the history of Pomeroy produced by Evan Shaw, Meigs County’s Emmy Award winner. Pomeroy has an active blues and jazz culture during the years. William Allan from Middleport started playing piano at the silent movie theatre. That building is still standing. Allan went on to play for Josephine Baker in Paris. He auditioned talent that wanted to be part of her entourage. Dizzy Gillespie said he would never have made it into the business if it had not been for Allen. You can also dig into the history of African American writers James McHenry Jones and James Edwin Campbell in Pomeroy. Try to catch a talk on the writers by Meigs County resident Shannon Scott. Finally, Meigs County has had no shortage of military heroes willing to serve their country. Of those, Middleport has been home to three Congressional Medal of Honor winners. Five others are associated with Meigs County. There are six from the Civil War, one from WWII and one from the Vietnam War. In addition, Admiral William Outerbridge was from Middleport. His ship fired the first United States shots of World War II at Pearl Harbor before the Japanese planes attacked. He also commanded a ship during the Normandy Invasion. Admiral Arthur Clark, also of Middleport, had a long career modernizing the US Navy. He said he had been inspired by the career of Outerbridge. General James Hartinger, also of Middleport, flew combat missions in three wars. He commanded NORAD during the Cold War and he finished his career as the first commander of Space Command. There are historical markers for those heroes from Middleport. Medal of Honor winners have a marker at the court house in Pomeroy. Hartinger has a book. Outerbridge is mentioned in most movies, books and documentaries on Pearl Harbor. Major John B. Downing was born in Rutland and lived in Middleport. He piloted the Northern fleet past Vicksburg, Mississippi, leading to the capture of that Confederate stronghold and a turning point in the Civil War. He was one of the most accomplished pilots on the Mississippi River. He taught Mark Twain to be a pilot. He is the Alligator Jack in Twain’s book “Life on the Mississippi.” Twain came to Middleport to visit Downing in his later years. Downing also has an historical marker in Middleport.

Visitors can verify this by touring the county and seeing all of the places listed on the National registry of Historical Places. The tour takes participants from Portland to Middleport, from Chester to Alfred. Located in Portland, Buffington Island is the site of the only Civil War battle fought in Ohio. John Downing Jr. House is located in downtown Middleport. It was the home of a prominent riverboat captain, “Major” Downing. He worked with Samuel Clemens, or Mark Twain, who stayed at the current day bed and breakfast. William H. Grant House is also in Middleport. William Grant pioneered concrete architecture in Meigs County. This house is one of his concrete creations. Another noteworthy fact about the house is that many years later, Johnny Appleseed visited the house and converted the Grants to Swedenborgianism. Meigs County Fairgrounds Grandstand and Racetrack is just off the State Route 7. The grandstand was finished in 1889 or earlier and is the only curved grandstand at an Ohio county fairgrounds. The Middleport Public Library was build in the early twentieth century and is a Carnegie library. Andrew Carnegie donated money to build over 2,500 throughout the world and Middleport was not only lucky enough to get one but also have it still functioning today. Mound Cemetery Mound lies north of Chester and is a Native American mound. It has never been excavated. Due to its location, many people believe the Adena people created it. Old Meigs County Courthouse and Chester Academy was built in the early nineteenth century. The court house is Ohio’s oldest courthouse and is one of two surviving first generation federal court house in Ohio. Located near Alfred, Reeves Mound is another Native American mound. The archaeological site is believed to have been built by the Adena people. In addition to the historic places, there are a total of 20 Ohio Historical Markers in Meigs County. The markers are as follows: First Ohio Invasion — Located in Portland along State Route 124, the marker commemorates the Civil War invasion by Brigadier General Albert G. Jenkins. Captain Joseph C. McElroy — Located at Greenwood Cemetery in Racine, the marker commemorates the burial place of McElroy who, during the Civil War, raised a militia company at Racine. After the war, he served on Racine Council, as Sheriff of Meigs County and a member of the Ohio General Assembly.

OH-70101049 Preserving the Past Paving the Future � YOUR GUIDE TO MEIGS COUNTY 2019 Chester Courthouse est. 1823 �Buffington Island: Ohio’s only Civil War battle By Carrie Gloeckner Meigs County is home to Ohio’s only Civil War Battlefield. Following the Great Raid by Brigadier General John Hunt Morgan, a convergence of Union forces caught up with the Confederates in Portland, Ohio, in the summer of 1863. The battle is also noteworthy as two future presidents would take part in it. Morgan set out on a mission by hand-picking nearly 2,500 Confederate cavalrymen and artillerymen to keep the Union occupied and draw their attention. Beginning the journey at Alexandria, Tennessee, on June 11, 1863, the raiders were trying to draw Union forces away from Confederate armies gathered in Tennessee. “He and his men lived off the citizenry, destroyed military infrastructure, and fought minor battles and skirmishes at many small towns and garrisons along their path that would take them 958 miles in 25 days. On July 2, 1863, while two great armies were battling in the hills surrounding Gettysburg and another two great armies were engaged at Vicksburg, these raiders forded the Cumberland River at Burkesville, Kentucky, as they headed north towards Louisville through Unionheld territory. On July 8, Morgan’s troopers crossed the Ohio River into Indiana at Brandenburg, Kentucky, southwest of Louisville. By July 13, Morgan and his men entered Ohio at Harrison,” according to information from the Buffington Island Battlefield Preservation Foundation website. Morgan and his men were bringing the realities of war with them as they raided their way through towns, taking what they needed along the way. However, as Gen. Morgan and his raiders made it into Ohio, Union forces were catching up in pursuit of the Confederate force. The following account gives only a brief detail of the battle that would rock the county as Union forces pursued Morgan. Union Major General Ambrose Burnside led Union troops along with militia units in an effort to prevent Morgan from making his way back into the South and Confederate territory. Members of the 7th Ohio Volunteer Cavalry take part in a reenactment.

Burnside sent Union cavalry forces under Brigadier Generals James Shackelford, Edward Hobson, and Henry Judah. The cavalry was hot on the heels of Morgan and his raiders. Burnside additionally coordinated with Lieutenant Commander LeRoy Fitch’s U.S. Navy gunboats as they steamed their way up the Ohio River toward Portsmouth, Ohio. Following a hard day of fighting with militia and citizens of Meigs and Gallia Counties, on July 18, 1863, Morgan arrived at Portland, Ohio where Buffington Island is located in the Ohio River. Morgan was planning on returning across the Ohio into the South. The Buffington Island Battlefield Preservation describes the events as follows, “Worn out from a hard day of riding and fighting, Morgan decided to rest his men and wait until next morning to take on the Marietta Militia guarding the ford, which allowed General Judah’s and General Hobson’s pursuing cavalry forces, as well as See BATTLE | 27 Photo by the 7th Ohio Volunteer Cavalry HAFFELT’S MILL OUTLET, INC.
