OHIO COUNTY WAS
THE TH|RTY-F|FTH
County Formed In Ken

Plenty Left.
POPULATION AT FIRST SMALL

Hartford, KY, has long been ION
xthe map" but is more pronouncedly
so now than ever. The unusual no.
toriety of the possum hunter trials
and the fullness of their revelations
as shown by the complete reports in
the Messenger during the past two
weeks, will make of unusual inter-
est the following sketch OF Ohio
county. Even previous to the found
ing of Hartford station known as
Harris Ford was located there. That
was in the days of the real Indian
and that real Indian gave sturdy
battle to the encroaching whites.
Ohio county was the thirty-fifth
in the order of formation and was
one of the largest counties of the
State at the time of its formation,
extending, as 1t did, to the Ohio
river from which 1t took its name.
II was organized in 1898, one year
before the death of President Wash
ington. BY the demand for other
counties it's great area was gradual
ly reduced. II contributed many
square miles to the formation Of
Grayson and Butler counties in
The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1915-09-15

1910, about 600 square miles to the
formation of Daviess in 1915, a
considerable slice to Hancock in
1929, and another slice to Nc
Lean in 1854 and it is still large
county containing 100000 acres or
about 100000 more acres than Da-
viess.
The soil is up to the average of
Green river soils. 1t has, besides
Green river, which borders it for
several miles. Rough river, East
Fork of Panther, Muddy. Whites
Fork, Walton's, Barnett's and Caney
creek, all considerable streams,
though none are navigable except
Rough. and along these streams are
many acres of most fertile bottom
lands. The surface is diversified
and all crops OF Western Kentucky
are grown profitably, though the soil
is not rated as best for wheat. For
several years back in the forties the
morus multicaulis was tried extern
sively and 1t is said that experiment
proved that silk could be produced
successfully. 1t is recorded in the
States history that specimens of the
manufactured silk were equal to the
best Italian goods. The growth of
the county in population had been
gradual until the opening of the
mines few years back. when there
was an influx of coal miners. Some
of these were English. German and
other foreign elements, but practi-
cally all the people are of Anglo-sax-
on blood, coming chiefly from vir-
ginia and North Carolina, and prin-
cipally through the upper coun-
ties" Many OF them came down the
Ohio to points below the mouth of
Blackboard creek and at or above the
present site of greensboro and then
journeyed out to the high grounds"
of the present county of Ohio, but
many others went overland from
Hardin. Nelson, Fayette and other
counties.
Two years after the county was
formed. or by the 1900 census, the
population was only 1923. but in
the next ten years it trebled or arose
TO S.792. The next decade showed
an increase OF only eighty-seven. or
little over eight persons each year.
which was much less. in al proba-
bility than the natural increase.
This is accounted for from the fact
that the county was a great one for
game, and as this began to disap-
pear the hunting population follow
ed II down Green river into the low
er lands or even into the Wabash
region, and these rowing people were
lost to the census enumeration. In
1870 the population was reported at
6.964. and there was gradual
growth Of about 5000 year until
the close OF the Civil War. In 1860

Insolvency.
OTHER INDICTMENTS RUMoRED

Greenville, KY, Sept. s.-The
case of the Commonwealth of Ken
lucky against Eli E. Gregory was
reached in the Circuit Court here
late this afternoon and after con-
sultatfon with counsel for Gregory,
Commonwealth's Attorney James r..
Mallory announced to the court
that an agreement had been reach
ed. Gregory thereupon entered a
plea of guilty in one case in which
he is charged with having forged a
note for $4,000 on the Bevier Coal
Company. The case was submitted
to the jury to assess the punishment
Another case was called in which
Gregory was charged with having
accepted a deposit from the Barnes
Auto Company after he knew of the
banks insolvency. He entered a
plea of guilty to this also and that
case was submitted to the jury to
assess the punishment. After due
elaboration the jury returned a
verdict fixing Gregorys punishment
at confinement in the penitentiary
for not less than five years and not
more than five years, one of the
most unusual verdicts ever returned
in this court, the law requiring a
minimum and a maximum punish
ment in cases of the kind.
Shortly thereafter the jury re-
turned a verdict assessing his pun
ishment in the other cases at con-
finement in the penitentiary for not
less than eight nor more than ten
years.
The other cases against Gregory
were continued. 1t was rumored
that other indictments against Greg
DRY will probably be found at the
present term of court.
Gregory was cashier of the Cen
trail City Deposit Bank at the time
it failed in February of this year. He
was Immediately arrested on COM
plaintsof. Thomas j. Smith, banking
commissioner of Kentucky, and later
indicted with the result that he now
faces a term in the penitentiary of
not less than thirteen years nor
more than fifteen years, ON the two
cases tried.
