Guided by the compass which Brewster 's great-great-grandfather. Captain John Higley. had used some 100 years before, they began the long trek which would take them from Simsbury. CDnn.10 their final settlement in what wollld later become Rutland - a place where five generations qf the Higley family would call "home." It took the family six-weeks to reach Wheeling. W. Va. They remained there for several months before beginning the trip down the Ohio River. Higley acquire.d a flatboat , loaded it with their household effects, and charged his two older sons, Brewster V and Cyrus, with gelling it sa.fely _down the river. The rest of the family journeyed by oxcart to various locations al9 ng the river where they would wait and watch for the flatboat to pass. As they traveled Brewster Higley fV scouted the territorv and selected the place for his family's settlement. The flatboat with the family's possessions was poled up Leading Creek to the site. The year was 1799 and the land on whkh they built a pionee r cabin - the first permanent settlement in what would later become Rutland Township- was a wilderness. . . A permanent Higley home was built on'the· homestead iil1836 by Cyrus Higley. one of the sons who arrived by flatboat, under the · guidance 6f his father and with the help of his brothers, according to the sage of Higley. ancestry written many years '•later by Gladys Higley Heidergott.

A large porch was added years later. The spacious house was the scene of many family gatherings through the years.

Plummer in 182_5 and now owned by Duane Weber. On July 15, 1825 John Quincy Adams,. president of the United States, signed a certificate granting 80 acres of land to Plummer, one of Rutland's early settlers. Several acres of that land years later became pari of Rutland Village. The title to a portion of it has been passed down from .. generation to generation and is now in the name of Plummer's great-great-great grandson, Duane Weber. The land grant certificate bearing the number 237, while somewhat fa<!ed and difficult to read,' describes the location of the acreage and notes that payment was made in the Marietta Land Office. · It hangs on the wall of the Weber home which was built in 1921 by Weber's greatgrandfather, William Harriman Plummer.

Two Rathburn stores - one in Rutland and another in Middleport - will likely carry the family's legacy into the 21st century, since both st,ores are still in business under different -names. Daniel Rathburn came to Meigs · Cou 1803 from Connecticut, and it was his grand· son, Joseph Newton Rathburn, who built the first Rathburn store in Rutland in 1858. His son, Milton, joined him in that business. . The store burned in 1926, and was replaced by the store which still houses the Rutland Department Store, now operated by James Birchfield and Maureen Burns..

The ground now occupied by the church was deeded to the trustees of the Church of Christ on Oct. 20, 1885, by J. N. and Clarisa Rathburn. Ground where the parsonage was built was deeded to the church on Sept. ~. 1919, by the Rathburn heirs. The basement was built and the church moved to the center of the lot in 1939. The church was incorporated in July, 1978. Leonard Wright is the current minister. Church of God While no longer technically a Rutland . Village Church, the Rutland Church of God, located at the junction of state Route 124 and Happy Hollow Road, has been both outside and inside of the, village during its 54-year history. · The church was organized Aug. 13, 1945, by the Rev. J. M. Hughes, state overseer, with 15 mem~rs present. The church at that time was located on Happy Hollow Road about a half-mile east of Rutland with Bonnie Williams serving as the first pastor. An old house was rented on Happy Hollow Road to house the new congregation. The building was small, with only one room and a potbelly stove for·heat and no inside plumbing. Some called it a chicken coop, but it was a.start. At first, only a f~w women and children attended, but then a few men, and later entire · families were saved. In 1952, a new 30-by-40-foot church was built on land in Rutland donated the year before by the late Joe Grueser. The building ·contained two classrooms and a sanctuary; two additional classrooms w~re added later.

One of Rutland's The new church as it appears today.lt was built In 1992. , The old church as it appeared just be.fore the building of the new church! The Rutland Free-Will Baptist Church was started in' 1804 in a grove oq !he .farm of Judge Higley. The first church was in the house of Asa Steams, about one mile South of the village of Rutland. The ministers who officiated on this occasion were Revs. Eli Stedman, and James Green. Eli ·Stedman had emigrated in 18o4 from Tunbridge, Vermont; where he was ordained. He had charge of this church for several years and was the first Free-Wi.ll Baptist minister that settled in Ohio. James Green was from one of the Southern States and was very instrumental in getting the church organized. Three other men; Daniel Dudley, Elisha Rathburn, and Barzillai H. Miles were admitted to the ministry in 1816. The first members of the above mentioned church were Asa and Sophia Stearns, Luke and Elizabeth Brine, Susanna and Emeline Larkin and Rowland Hubball. Soon others united and by the end of the year the church had 40 members. In 1812 thru .1816 it flourished with Revivals and more members, but by 1818 trials and difficulties assaile~ it aild by 1824 all interest to continue was lost. In 1828 it was reorganized with seven niembers ..From 1829 to 1838 the Pastors were: Revs. James M: Shurtleff, John B. Wallis and Lemuel Thorn. From ·1838.to 1882 the church was favored with several revivals. Under the ministerial labors of Revs. Cyrus Stilson, Samuel Hathorn, Daniel C. Topping, William Hooper, Samuel S. Branch, Selah Barrett, George Stebbins, Ira Z. Hanning, Goodwin Evans, Richard J. Poston, Peter W. Perry, Oscar E. Baker, Thomas H. Drake, Thomas P. Taylor and William J. Fulton. Selah Batrett was a member o_f the church for 44' years and in the ministry 37 years. The membership gradually decre~sed due to deaths and unconcern, Then in the early 60's Rev. Beulah Stewart started ministering at the church. The deacons at that time wer~ Manuel Mace and Jimmy Dyer and later Guy ·Priddy. In 1962 Mrs. Stewart traveled to Florida and and in January of 1963 WC!S killed in a car wreck on her way home. \he Rev. Paul Taylor took ov.er the duties of the chur~h in 1962 and ministered until 1970. He then moved to Utah. The churcq remained open by Bro. Guy and Margaret Priddy and again the church flourished . They became deacons in the church and Rev. Leland Haley, the pastor. In addition to Rev. Haley there were other pastors: Revs. Roger Turner, Chuck McPhearson, Don Karr, and Jim Debruel. The church grew in number and in 1983 Rev. Paul Taylor again became the pastor and is still there to this present day. The old church was deteriorating ·and the congregation was growing. In 1992 a decision was made to build the present church which we worship in today. Our 'deacons today are Ross Stewart Jr. and David Edmonds. Other deacons Bro's Harold Ramsburg 'and·Bobby Elkins have passed on. ~'A H-ome Bank For SYRACUSE • I Memories are what bicentennial celebrations are made of.

While he was a skillful physi· cian and surgeon, he was said to have a "love for music and the soul of a poet." The descendant of a Meigs County pioneer family which settled in Rutland, Higley had moved to Kansas in the spring of 1872. . He had a homestead on Beaver Creek in Smith County, and his neatest neighbor w~ Dan Kelly, a native of Virginia, who was an · expert banjo player. Acco'rding to several history books, Dr. Higley wrote the words to ~·Home on the Range" and then took th~:~ over to Kelly's cabin, and Kelly picked out the music for the sbng on his banjo. It wai; reported that "the song was tried out at the next country dance, was sung and strummed with gusto and delight." The story of "Home on the Range" which became the state song ·of Kansas, is taken from the High Plains "Journal", a farm paper published in Dodge City, Ford County, Kansas, June 23, 1949. With it was published a pic~ lure of Dr. Brewster Higley and Dan Kelly. • "HOME ON THE RANGEH -s written by Dr. Bre-ter Higley; descendent of a Meigs County pioneer family. was living at the time he wrote 'Home on the Range' for it was . from his Kansas home he wrote to my father, the late Lucius Milton Higley, a long lettef enclosing the. poem which bore his name. I was in my late teens and took a keen interest in readipg it, coming as it did from a kinsman and iny father's playmate as well." According to records, Brewster Higley V of Vermont (a descen· dent of John Higley who settled in America in 1666) migrated to Rutland where he married ·in 1814. The- name Brewster in the Higley family originated from the original pioneer, John Higley, whose mother was Katharine Brewster.. The . article in the Kansas "Journal" mentioned Brewster Higley VIII, · Harry . Brewster Higley IX, and Brewster Higley X, along with Dr. Charles Higley who died in 1886 at the age of 39 at Rutland. . Most of the Higleys who remained in Meigs County are buried in the Higley Family Cemetery located in Rutland.

In 1886 'the Rutland Depot was built, further enhancing the role that railroads played in the development of the community: Several times a day train whistles announced the arrival of passengers and parcels . to the depot. Trains moving through the village became a common sight to residents and remained so for more than a half-century. . The passenger train era in Rutland ended in 1951 when the old depot was shut down as rail business declined. Soon afterward, the depot was purchased for $700 ·by the Utsinger family. The tracks were taken up and the trestle removed. The building was · moved acrtlss the street, used for a time as a grocery store, and then later remodeled into a home. About 20 years ago an essay on railroading in Rutland titled "All Aboard Into the Past" was written by Donna Weber Jenkins for a county-wide contest sponsored by the Meigs County Historical and Pioneer Society. A descendant of the Plummer ·family which settled in Rutland in the early 1880s, Jenkins included in her e5$8y inform'ation about her great-grandfather, Will Plummer, who worked as a telegrapher and station agent at the depot for nearly 50 years. Her' information for the essay came primarily from family members. It is worth repeating. All Aboard Into the Flast Like many small villages springing up in Ohio, the· railroad and depot played an important rol e in the history of Rutland in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Rutland, first settled by two pioneers from Rutland, Vermo nt and Rutland, Massachusetts in ' 1799, was once the center of activities surrounding the area. The blacksmith shop, opera house, brick plant, hotel, mining industry, and railroad and depot helped nickname Rutland as "The Hub," or "The Corner." The first railroads in the county were constructed in the 1880's with the Rutland Depot being built about 1886. It was approximately 20 feet wide, 40 feet long, · and was a dull olive green in color. It had three rooms. THE DEPOT- The RutiMd Depot wu built In 1888 Mel wu a busy station for many years. The declining number of pa• The most common room to the passengers was the waiting room with its wooden benches, ticket office, and large blackboard . on the wall where the train schedules were posted. The one-cent gum machine was a favorite with the children. The freight room was interesting with a variety of articles: baby chickens, furniture, produce, and an occasional "occupied" coffin . The village was dependent upon this room for all goods were shipped by rail. A large scale in the freight room was use~ to weigh goods to . be shipped which many times includ ~ d fruit ' from the George Carson and Wally Wright orchards, along with milk, strawberries, and other produce from the area farms. From . the train the freight was transferred to a wooden, flat wagon and taken to the freight room . From there it was carried by horse and wagon to the stores. Rathburn's Department Store, the largest in Rutland, owned a wagon and four horses which were used to deliver goods. The station agent's office contained two telephones, one to the trains and one to the community. However, the telegraph worked more efficiently than did the telephone and was .used to transmit Western Union telegrams with the price varying from fifty cents to several dollars depending on its destination. Agents at the Rutland Depot were Linney Stiles, Willy Plum'mer, Joe Phillips, . I.P. Wells, and Floyd Dunfee. Willy Plummer, my maternal greatgrandfather, ·was one of the first telegraph operators and agents for the Rutland Depot and worked 49 years. My maternal grandfather, Lawrence Milhoan, had been an engineer for the New York Central Railroad and passed this depot many times in his career. Six passenger trains traveled the track th roug h .Rutland daily, three from . Columbus to Charleston and three north to Columbus from Charl eston. It cost two cents a mile. Sunday excursion trips to Columbus cost only $1.50. A favorite pastime of the teenagers on Sunday was to congregate at the depot to watch the trains come and go.

G&M FUEL CO. ~ ·weavers' reeds. manufactured in Rutland The· only factory in the United States for ·making weavei'S' reed in the early 1800s was located on the New Lima Road at Rutland and operated at that site for more than 60 years. According to The Harri!; History, the reeds that were produced in that small community were sold in ail pans of this country and also in other countries. · The Holt reed-making business started by accideni, it is reponed. •· Aaron Holt, the father of Horace Holt, came to Rutland from Hartford, Conn: in 1807. After the Revolutionary War he went to Canada for cheap · land but became dissatisfied and returned to Ohio . . His son, H.orace Holt, born in 1798 in Connecticut, went to Indiana· in his early twenties, became ill, and while con· valescing, was toying with an old weaver's reed. He took it apart and learned how it was made from canes. It was then that the idea was born for producing them in Ohio. Returning to Rutland, he started the factory at New Lima in 1823, the year before he was married to Malinda Bellows, and continued the reed-making busineSs until March 1, 1885. Young Holt obtained his canes from the South, sending men down the Ohio River to Mississippi to cut themand bring them home on· flatboats. They made the long trip back to the mouth of Leading Creek where they·were unloaded and taken by wagon to the factory. He had started without any knowledge of the business but Holt took a wagonload of reeds on the trip to Washington in a few years was making nearly a thousand reeds a week .to secure the·patent and sold the reeds topay his eJ~penses, . and seiling them Jor as much as $2 each. · For years the reeds were hauled over the country by peddlers traveling in wagons as there was·a demand for them in thousands of American homes where weaving was done. Often goods were taken in return for them and stores were set up. . At one time Holt's accou.nt books showed he had sold 300,000 reeds for a total of $200,000. The Holts reportedly paid their workers better than aver· age wages, and. employed many young women in the facto· ry. OLD LOOM - This loom, made In the lata 1700's or early 1800's, used weavers' reeds such as those manufactured by the Holt factory In Rutland. This loom Is on loan by Annie Chapman to the Meigs Museum. · The reed-making business was not the only enterprise of Hor:ace Holt. In partnership with Clem Church; the first grist mill was built in Rutland Township. Horace Holt also owned. the first threshing machine in the Rutland area. Horace Holt was also famous as an abolitionist before the Civil War. . It is said that his home was a station on the underground railroad before the war and that he harbored many a runaway slave there. He also reportedly brought slawes from the South to his home hidden in the false bottoms of his wagons. · ' He and his sons, assisted by others in the Rutland area, are credited with moving hundreds of Negroes to the north and eventually into Canada: · ·.

IT IS SO WONDERFUL AND SO VITAL. That II may change your entire future as It did mine. · In fact, the decision you make about it wHI affect you both in life and death. II Is a·n exact quotation from God's word, the Holy Bible. "For God. so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth In him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3: 16. Did you ever hear such wonderful words? Think for a moment what they say. They reveal three mar'velous,facts. First, "God so loved the world"! Since you. are in the world, He loved you. If that doesn't astonish you, remember, that when God loved ,you, He loved a sinner! The · Bible says that we all have sinned (Romans 3:23). If you ari honest you will agree. Although God loves you, He still hates your sin. Since God is holy, He must punish sin. He must make a holy way of saving ~loners. Otherwise, the sinner must pay for his sins, and that would mean spending eternity in hell (Revelation 20: 15). The second great fact is, "He gave His only begotten Son"! 'God loved you so much, that He sent His Son to .earth to become a man and die on the cross of Calvary, so that you might be saved. ' You see, someone must pay the penally of sin, either you or a sinless substll.l!.!f.. God gave• His• • •Son, Jesus Christ, to• _,be. ...your sinless • .• • • \.' ' ., 1, . '- •• substitute. He shed His blood so that you sins might be put away, so that you might have eternal life. And now the third tremendous fact is, "Whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life"! .Think of it! God gives eternal' life to those who believe in Jesus Christ. The Saviour has "ftnished" the.work. He has died. He has risen from the grave, and He has gone back Into heaven. Now your part is to believe in Him. This simply means that you must agree that you are a sinner, realize that Christ has paid the "full" penalty for your sins, and then receive Him as your Lord and Saviour. Think of II once again: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16. Your lime on earth is .short, but your llecision for Christ lasts for eternity. Will you receive Jesus Christ as your Saviour and be confident of everlasting life? ·We appreciate you so much.

The Sons of Temperance is the oldest American temperance, or total abstinence, - secret society. It was formed in New York City by 16 men, at a time when a s1rong temperance movement was underway in the u.s-. ' The. group was forme.d "to reform drunkards and to prevent others from becoming drunkards." Local divisions, , corresponding to lodges, offered sick and funeral benefits, and the organization carried its own relief society and life insurance program. l,'he group was open to both men and women. Sons of Temperance in the Rutland area included Division #22~, Sons of Temperance of Rutland, and the New Lima Division #504, which was organized in 1849. Trustees of the )llew Lima division were Benjamin Bellows, Horace Holt, Nicholas ·Stansbury, Alfred Gardner, 0. Grant, C.A. Paulk and C. Grant. Beech Grange #852 met at the Musser store building in Rutland, and was organized on April 23; 1874. It disbanded in 1917.

'\ By SCott Wolfe sentinel sports staff . · ThroughOut this century, small towns, centered around their churches and their schools, were built on community pride. Rutland was one such example. Altliough small in population, Rutland was known around local sports circles as a ieam to be reckoned with. When teams played the Red Devils in their hey days, opponents knew they had been in a game. Caught in a tbriving time machine, Rutland, like many other blue collar American small towns, was consumed by progress in the . form of consolidation. Becoming part of what is now the Meigs Local school district, the Rutland Red Devils are no longer, but their memory lives on in ·the stories of their unequaled success. The following articles help reflect their sports rich history. "In the fourth quarter, Powell had tied the game up with a wild prayer shot (for Racine) from the comer w1th 10 seconds to go. Aaron Wolfe (Racine) left the game on fouls early in the fourth quarter, J. Snowden was the big man for Rutland as he made nine !'Oints the fourth quaJ;ter and one in the overtime. Schoonover made the winning close-in shot in the overtime." Snowden led .the Red Devils with 12 points, followed by Brown, C. Snowden, Schoonover, .Patterson, George, and Rupe. Racine players were Powelr, Hensler, G. Sayre, A. Wolfe, Marr, K. Sayre, and Norris. The two teams were then slated for a rematch in the county tournament. If any team had been a thorn in the side of the Tornadoes, it was Rutland. Again · in 1950, The Red Devils ~ed theToflladoes. The headlines read, "Big Rutland Five Smothers Wolfe and Company of Racine, 41 to 23. Racine had won the first game of the series, but Rutland evened things up with a huge win. · One excerpt from The Sentinel account read, ''The big Red Devils (they average well over six feet tall) just simply didn't gJVe the Racine five an opportumty to get started. They controlled the ball practically all the time, and their tight zone defense kept Aaron Wolfe bottled up throughout the game. · "Wolfe, who had been averaging 20 points per game, was held to one ofbislowest totals of the season as he made only eight markers. Actually, he only got ei2ht shots at the basket and he made three of diose." Freddie George of Rutland matched buckets with Racine's Bob Miller, then stole a ball from Wolfe and drove it in for a lay-up. Bill Brown made a couple long shots, and Bill Robinson broke the Racine drought with a goal as Rutland led 16-11 at the half. Ray Rupe tossed in a couple goals in a strong Rutland second half, but George led the Devils with 12 points in the win. Racine got some revenge that year (1950) in the county tournament as a "bi:spectacled A. Wolfe" led the Tornadoes to victory, 3937. A crowd o~996 people came th~ugh t_he gates that cvemng: Rutland was ooz1~g ,w1th confidence after their .late season wm over the Tornadoes. Wolfe hit 11-15 free throws to lead. Racine to the win with 17 points. Miller added 11. Freddie George led Rutland with 12 points and Brow-n hai:l nine. Like the see-saw game the year before, the ball changed hands often and was exciting right down to the finish. The rivalry continued in 1951 when Rutland won the county basketball title with a 42-41 win over Racine. Bob Nelson, a lanky substitute forward with the Red Devils tossed in a one handed jump shot just as the final gun sounded. Trailing 41-40 with just five seconds left, Ru.tland went out Qf bounds in their own territory. · Jack Barton grabbed the ball and quickly tossed it to Nelson, who was breaking down the right side of the floor. The substitute forward lost no time in arching the ball on its way to the basket, and while the frenzied . " .

Working To Preserve The Historic Past and Helping to Develop the Progressive Future of Meigs County Newspaper History... The Daily Sentinel, the only newspaper published for Meigs Cou.nty and dedicated to serving the best interests of its citizens, · has a record of constant growth since its inception over 50 -years ago. It was in 1948 that the Sentine,l, Pomeroy-Middleport,'was transformed from a weekly to a daily newspaper. The obstacles of competing against out-of-county newspapers- that at the time were serving the majority of daily paper customers in Meigs County- were many. · To say the least, The Daily Sentinel had its "lean years" enroute to becoming Meigs ~ounty's No. 1 newspaper. Today, however, the circulation figures tell the•story. From about only I ,500 customers in 1948, The Daily Sentinel has grow~ to a daily distribution bf over 5,500. Circulation of The Daily Sentinel is more than five times greater than the Meigs circulation of any other newspaper distributed dajly in the county. Not only has The Daily Sentinel grown steadily during the decades, but it provided the basis for the formation and ,expansion of the Ohio Valley Publishing Company that purchased the Gallipolis Daily Tribune in 1959 .and the Point Pleasant in 1969. The Sunday publication of OVPC, the Sunday Times- Sentinel, had its birth more than 30 years ago and now has a weekly circulation of over i3,000. OVPC also publishes . a . weekly newspaper, Tri-County News, successor ro the Mason County News'. From October, 1977, to December, 1995, the Ohio Valley Pqblishing Company was owned by the Greenville, S.C. ; firm of Multimedia, Inc. In December, 1995, Multimedia was purchased by the Arlington, Va.-based Gannett Company, and in 1998 it was bOught by Community Newspaper HBldings. Inc. . While many people played important roles in The Daily Sentinel's growth, the contributions of longtime OVPC President and Publisher Richard S. Owen and the late Chester A Tannehill, editor of The Daily Sentinel and Execuiive Editor of the Sunday Times-Sentinel for many years, were obviously most significant. T~nnehill died in' February of 1978 while Owen retired as publisher and president of OVPC newspapers · . effective December 31 , 1978. · Robert Wingett currently serves as publisher of OVPC newspapers and Charlene Hoeflich is g'eneral manager and city editor of The Daily Sentinel. Wingett is a nephew of E.A Wing~tt of Racirie who was the manager, wh'en The Sentinel was transformed from a we~kly to a daily newspaper. , The Sentinel is the successor of The Democrat which was first establi~hed iri 1888 by CL Barker. Later that same year, Judge Charles E. Peoples began his editorial work on The Democrat and then purchased the business ip 1889. At the same time, there were two papers published in Middleport, The Herald and The Republican, as well as another paper, named The Teiegraph, in Pomeroy, The Telegraph was owned by E.S. Trussell who also owned and operated Pomeroy's first electric plant. Racine, in 18R8, also had· a newspaper, The Tribune, owned and edited by W.G: Sibley, later to become a newspaper writer of nlttional recognition. In ·1909, Judge E. W. Peoples became affiliated with The Democrat and worked with his father until the ' paper was sold in 1919 to J.E. Carleton, who also served·several years as Meigs County probate judge. Judge Carleton, a great uncle to The Daily Sentinel's present publisher, had begun his newspaper career in 1900 with The Leader, a weekly newspaper published in Pomeroy from 1898 to 1917. . Judge Carl~ton owned the paper until he died in 1940 and his late wife, Mrs. Edna Carleton, served as publisher for several years until the pal>er was sold in about 1941 to Robert Roush. Upon America's entry into World War II, in a display of national unity, t.he name of the paper was changed to The Sentinel. The paper was then bought in 1951 by the firm that became known as the Ohio Valley Published Company. Mr. Owen began his over 25 years of service'with OVPC in 1952. The Daily Sentinel was the 18th newspaper to come into existence in Meigs County since it became a county. The very first newspaper to be published in the county was the· Meigs County Telegraph, a weekly which was printed from .1851 to 1859. , • . ,\ .' 1,.
