School District tlrrt at our last annual meeting
Of tie electors, there were two elections, one
held IN pursuasicc Uftuo, 'aud one in, pursuance
Of custom. Four p, rsnns were declared 10 be
elected, viz, Andrew Roach and Stephen Merry
aud John @. Knoll and Alfred G.. Williams.
Roach and Merry were recognised by a part Of
the old Board of Education MS members Of said
Board; and in the attempted and pretended or.
ganization Of said Board, MIR. Roach was made
Treasurer and Mr.. Merry Secretary Of said
Board.
Proceedings In qto ,torrdnfo were instituted in
the District Court Of Wood county, Ohio. by
Williams and kuull, against Roach and Merry ;
aud on Che final hearing the court gave Judge
,racnt ousling Roach and Merry and inducing
Knoll and Williams and then Roach and Merry
asked and obtained leave Of the Supreme Court
OF the State, to file a petition in error therein,
where the case Is now pending.
From the time Of the decision by the District
Court, three members of the board, viz. Slevin,
Hunt and Thorton, have steadily refused to re.
cognizc Williams and Knoll as members Of the
Board, and though frequently served with no.
ices by Rheintrank, Knoll and Williams, as the
law provides, to meet at designated time and
place, and for the purpose Of transactng i'm.
portant business, they have never met with them
or recognized them a members Of the Board.
Some time in October 1859, Col p. s. Slevin
removed with his family to the city OF Toledo,
in Lucas county, Ohio, and a vacancy was thus
created in the Board nf Education for the dis
trict. Rheinfrank, Knoll and Williams again
served notice on Hunt and Thornton, the remain
ing old members, to meet at time and place
designated in said notice, to transact important
business. And they, Hunt and Thornton, hav-
ing refused and neglected to meet at the time
and place specified in said notice, Rheinfrank,
Knoll and Williams, as the acting members Of
said Board, proceeded, under the statute, to ap-
point member to fill the vacancy aforesaid.
They appointed Willard V. Way to ill said
vacancy, on the 25th day of November, 1869,
and at the same time they proceeded to organ
lye themselves, which they did by electng w.
Y. Way as President, j. H. Rhein(rank as
Treasurer, and J. G. Knoll as Secretary. And
they .seyrally qualified, gave bond &c., and en-
tered upon the performance of their cffciai du-
ties. J. II. Rheinfrank called upon and de-
mlnded Of Andrew Roach, the books, papers
and moneys Of Board belonging to the office Of
Treasurer Of said Board; John G. Knoll called
upon and demanded of Lewis NJ Hunt, the act
ing Secretary, merry having resigncd) the
books, papers and prop rty Of the Board in his
hands or under his control aud both these men
then refused to surrender tn the officers of the
Board the property and mnncy 0C the district In
their hands, and they have continued to this
time to refuse to do so; so that this Board is not
able to report the entire expenditures aud liabl-
tiles Of ihe District since the last annual meet
ing Of the electors, nor can this Board account
Tor the money vou have SO lavishly paid into
Treasury of the District.
