The first murder ever committed in
the County was that of a mail carrier,
who was killed and the mail robbed
about two miles north west of town,
on the road leading from ChiIlicothe to
Xenia, near a place known as big
Spring" The perpetrator of the
crime was never discovere |. From
that time until the murder of Boyd in
the street about 90 years ago, in a
drunken fight, there was no other
crime of a similar character committed
in the County.
| Deer were more abundant then than
squirrels are now, and it was no un-
common occurrence for a hunter to
kill seven and eight in one day. Wild
| turkeys were more numerous than
quails are these days, and often the
droves %ere so large as to make the
woods look black with them.
From 1915 to 1925, the citizens of
the County came to Washington to
muster, attend court, purchase dry
goods, groceries, &c, and bal ter off
deer-skins. coon-skins, fax and other
articles of trade.
The principle settlers of Favette
county, outside of the town Of Wash
