| that a small charge was made and
gladly was paid.
The rescue business became so sys-
! temized and so general that the rights
of residents along the road to the
| mud holes nearest them were mutual
" recognized. The job OF pulling peo-
pie out of them belonged to that one
man and to him alone.
One tavern keeper, who long had
held possession of particularly fine
mud hole and had cared for and cul-
tivated it with loving diligence for
the profit it brought him, decided to
leave the country and sold hs inn.
Loath to leave so valuable fran
chise he sold his quit-claim rights to
the mud hole in the bublic road to
neighbor for S. and the deed was re-
corded, old accounts relate.
When rain, horses hooves and wag-
on wheels failed to create enough mud
puddles in the public roads, nature
sometimes helped out. There is the
story of a low strip some 20 rods
wide in Pleasant township, Putnam
county, where in 1845 an unexplained
upheaval of the earth formed ridge
four feet high and 30 feet wide that
damned a creek from bank to bank
William Turner, who owned the
ground, cut a channel through it to
let the water out and thus made a
great mud hole there of his own, 1t
would have been worth fortune had
the road run closer to it. AS it was,
travellers could not pass and usually
got stuck.
Farmers along the muddy roads
kept an eye cooked and team ready
and whenever someone became mired
a rescuer promptly showed up. Dur
ing a succession of sunny day the
roads dried out but the holes remain
ed muddy seryiced carefully with
buckets of water by the owners to
keep them consistently sticy and in
operating condition.
Just what was underground in that
country or why so much mud always
was there no early settler in the dis
trict could imagine. 1t was on the
edge of the Black Swamp region, be-
lieved to have been a lake bottom at
one time. The whole region was
swampy, tangled. and much of it jun
| gle filled with thick vegetation. All
through the Maumee valley distinct
outlines of former beaches could be
traced and century ago bore names
- Sand Ridge, Oak Ridge, Sugar
Ridge and the like. Maybe at one
time Lake Erie did extend down that
far a lot of geologists and topo-
graphers believe SO.
Nevertheless. such is the story. and
a true one, of the mud roads in two
Ohio counties more than 100 years
ago.

Mud Road

We who crab about cracks IN the
pavement or ruts in the road might
find solace in some of the turbid
tales about the Allen and Putnam
county roads before the Civil war.
The people there spelled mud with
capital NJ and knew just what 1t all
meant.
There is a newspaper legend trace
able to his own paper, the Kalida
Venture. in the late 1S40's about the
editor himself, Henry Knapp, becom-
ing mired on the dirt road between
Columbus Grove ana Shannon = the
latter now Bluffton, and the road, the
Dixie highway. The editor had his
bride of month along and the couple
were on horseback.
When the horses got stuck in the
mud Knapp managed to jump off and
wade out of the mud hole, but his
wife was stuck there hip deep. Knapp
backed one of the horses up to the
big buddle, told his wife to grab it
by the tail and then yelled, "Giddap."
Then, hanging on for dear life, Mrs.
Knapp emerged from the mud. In
next weeks issue there was a scath-
ing editorial about the county roads.
The mud roads in Allen and Put
nam counties before the Civil war
were traditional = the whole country
knew about them. The holes were so
deep and SO close together that a
new industry was created among the
people living along the dirt roads
the rescue business, a very profitable
one in its time
Landlords at the various taverns
along the roads provided themselves
with teams and extra yokes of oxen
TO pull out the travellers mostly
immigrants whose horses could not
pass the successive mud holes. For
