Row the Early Settlers Got Their Fist
Supply of Books.
In the autumn of 1903 there was a
meeting of the settlers in Dover Sum
DAY Creek and Ames, Athens county.
O., called primarily to consider the
making of roads, but before it ended
II took up a side issue that, seen from
this point of view, seems to be the
most important part of the meeting.
What they did about roads was of but
passing interest. The other matter pro-
duced farreaching results.
1t Is recorded that Josiah True call
ed attention to the need of books.
Probably most Of those present had
enjoyed the advantages of libraries
back In their New England homes and
their isolation in their new homes in
the west emphasized the lack of them
here He proposed public library.
The idea was warmly welcomed, but
how could 1t be secured without
funds? The colonists were mostly
poor and what they had was not in
the form of money. There was but
little money In circulation and busi-
ness was most easily carried on in
the form Of barter. Finally some one
suggested that all present engage in
hunting fur bearing animals during
the approaching winter and with the
proceeds Of the hunt buy necessary
books.
Agents of John Jacob Astor had WIS.,
tied the settlements promoting that
industry, and the young men had be.
come skilled In the chase. They en-
tered into the work with enthusiasm
and by spring large store of skins,
mostly coonskins. had been collected.
Samuel Brown was to make a visit to
Boston. going by wagon, and 1t was
arranged that he should take the store
of skins east with him, stopping at
Astor's place in New York to dispose
of them.
DR.. Mannaseh Cutler went along with
him to make the selection of books.
These We're bought In Boston with the
product of the sale of the skins. The
name adopted was 1.-THE Western Ii
brary association" and 1t was located
at Ames. 1t was Incorporated Feb. 2,
1904. On Dec. II. 1904, the members
of the association met at Ames and
elected Ephraim Cutler librarian. Mr.
Brown had evidently returned with the
books, for 1t was voted at this meeting
to accept fifty-one books purchased by
Samuel Brown" This was the begin.
ming of the CoonslSin library.
1t is said that sixty of the youth In
that vicinity came et once under the
influence of that library, Of whom ten

coming professors, three preachers and

of these, and he testifies in his auto

One day before his marriage the Rev.
