Description: MERCER COUNTY, OHIO Early days in Mercer County, OHIO, including the communities of Celina, Shane's Crossing, Fort Recovery, Mendon, Coldwater, Mercer and St. Henry, are recalled through a mixture of colorful tales and factual data in this NEW 26 Page Booklet, primarily reprinted from the 1892 Centennial edition of Henry Howe's Historical Collections of Ohio. The spiral-bound booklet is single-sided on quality paper with the fine print enlarged for easier reading. A sheet of clear vinyl has been added to protect the front cover. Illustrations include the 1890 view of Celina, the Mercer County Reservoir circa 1846, and Emlen Institute. Among the many and diverse topics discussed in the booklet are: Gen. Hugh Mercer; St. Clair's Defeat in 1791; the experiences of Major Jacob Fowler and Mr. McDowell; the heroism of William Kennan; the attack on Ft. Recovery in 1794; Capt. John Whistler; a chopping bee; William "Sausage" Sawyer and other nicknames; the Mercer County Reservoir; Emlen Institute; Freed Slave Settlement; Gas Field at Ft. Recovery; a Delayed Burial; and "the father of Celina" James Watson Riley. GENEALOGY BUFFS will find a list of 1888 county officers and businesses. A 1933 look back at newspapers in Mercer County and maps showing the 88 Ohio counties and 1805 Ohio are also included. Wouldn't this make a unique gift?
