Boston, recently, General Fremont con-
cluded with the following beautiful
language:

there; make every fight victory, but
let men who fall on these red fields die
in the assured belief that their blood
was not merely split upon the ground

pinnacles of history. And if on tha

Death of tho First Furnace Builder
in Ohio.


JoHN DILLON, Esq, one of the oldest
and most enterprising citizens Of Mus
kingum county, died at GAINESVILLE, Aug.
18th, 1862, in his Seth year.
Mr.. Dillon, in company with his
brother Isaac, built the first blast iron
furnace in the State of Ohio-at Dillon
Falls of Licking, four miles above its
mouth, at GAINESVILLE. 1t was long
known as "Dillon's Furnace" and was
built in the year 1905; and was in
blast till the year 1854, or perhaps 1856
Il was "cold blast" furnace, and had
connected with it forge, at which, in
an early day, bar iron was made, which
sold at 5000 ton also castings. such
as sugar kettles, salt kettles, &c., were
made at the furnace.
In 1912 the Dillon brothers connect
ed with their Iron Works, q Towering
mill and saw mill.
The second iron furnace in Ohio, wat
"Brusb Greek Furnace" Adams county
built in 1911, by parties from Pitts
burg-McNickell and others. Thi
furnace has been out of blast perhaps
quarter of a century. Gen. Nathanie
Massie built the third iron furnace il
Ohio, near his residence at the FallI
of Paint, southwest part Of Ross county
in the year 1912, the year before hi
death. This furnace never did much =
made only two short blasts.
Mr.. Dillon was born 10 Fayette couu
ty, Pa, and was the son of Mos, Dill
lon. who was one of the builders o
"UUion Furnace" about fifteen mile
east of Brownsville, which was the frs
iron furnace erected west of the noun
