Historical.

In the year 1910, there came TO Chilli
cothe one Nathaniel Willis, a min ofpeculI-
ar character and marked ability, II, as has
been said, Lyman Beecher is the father Of
more brains than any other nah in Ameri.
ca, this man was The grandfalhei Of an equal
amount in quantity ifnos in qualify. Among
the most illus,rious Of his grandchildren are
N. P. Willis, the poet, Mrs. Rarming,on,
Fanny Fsrn) and Richard Slous Willis, Of
The New York Musical Times. 3a-3
Z Nathaniel Willis, The grandfather, was a
printer by profession, and first published the
Independent Chronicle in Boston throughout
the turbulent times OF the Revolution, in the
sama building where Benjamin Franklin
worked as PRIMER. Ia 1890 he removed TO
Maninsburg, and commenced ,le pubica.
zion Of The Potomac Guardian, ID which he
continued until 1900, when he re moved 10
Chlico,he Ohio, where he begal the publ
cation of the Scioto Gazette, in a little room
attached 10 two.slory log house, which, he
had erected on the west side Of the north
end OF Paint street where VIM! H. Douglas
store now stands. He was ihs frs, printer
to the "Honorable. Terri,oria Legislature oil
The North Yves. Territory" He continued
the publication Of the Gazette I'LL the year
1907, when he retired 10 his hrm in ,his
county, where he died In good ole age in
the year 180-. "A branch Of the family
sill remains in this neighborhood, and an
other in the neighborhood Of Circlevlle.
He was one Of the liule hand Of pa.ricis
who made a tea pot Of Bos,on'bay. with q
spiri, that foreshadowed the Revolution
and there are men now living in this city
who have hoard him recoun, the singular
Indian adventures Of thar evenlful day.
He was the originator, The first publisher
and The manner OF the paper we now ISSUE
in the differen, forms of the Daily, III,
Weekly and The Tr- Weekly Scio.o Gazette
More Than 55 years ago he turned his bacl
upon Virginia, The "Mo,her Of S.ates.'' ant
sough, a new home in the Eden.Valley o
The Scio,o, where he established the frs
paper in the North Western Territory ant
which has continued in prosperity ill lhi
day. Il is with pleasure not unminglet
with pride, that we look back TO our worth!
iogenitor, and find him one OF the famou
Boston Tea.par,y, an associate Of Franklin
and the sire Of those who are among III
mos, illus,rious in the annals OF American
Literature. We can only wish Thar .hi
paper was the heir loihe virtues Of his child
