OBITUARY
Auto-Traction Crash, Killing Six, Reported Unavoidable
TRAGEDY NEAR FRANKLIN
Investigated by Coroner in Warren County, Gives Opinion
Six persons, five of them residents of Dayton, and the sixth a Middletown girl, were killed or fatally injured Saturday night at 6:15 o'clock, when an automobile was ground to pieces beneath the wheels of a Cincinnati and Lake Erie interurban car at the Franklin Chautauqua dam, just north of Franklin, on the Dixie highway.
Late Saturday afternoon, Dr. Waldron Gilmour, Warren county coroner, expressed the belief at the close of his preliminary investigation, that the accident had been "unavoidable." Doctor Gilmour added that he will report the accident to the Warren county prosecutor, and if the prosecutor is satisfied, no action will be taken.
The accident occurred when Vernon Bogan, age 53, 1229 West Second street, Dayton, driving south on the highway, drove his automobile into a lane leading to the Chautauqua dam, directly in the path of the northbound traction car operated by Ben Beckett, of Trenton, Ohio. The automobile was struck on the left front side and the impact carried the car's motor and part of the chassis 325 feet along the tracks before the traction car was brought to a stop.
Victims in crash
Those killed in the accident were:
Vernon Bogan, driver, killed instantly
Mrs. Norma Bogan, wife of the driver, age 29, 1229 West Second street, Dayton, died at 9:30 Saturday night at the Middletown hospital.
Mrs. Corrine Dickey, age 16, 21 Council street, Dayton, died at 6:30.
Albert Dickey, age 18, 21 Council street, Dayton, husband of Corrine, killed instantly.
Mrs. Margaret Reed, age 43, 21 Council street, Dayton, mother of Mrs. Dickey, killed instantly.
Mildred Bogan, age 10, 615 Wykoff street, Middletown, granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bogan, died at 6:30 at the Middletown hospital.
Passengers on the traction car were not injured. Passing motorists and passengers on the car carried the victims who were still living to the highway and they were removed to the Middletown hospital. Dr. Edward Cook, Butler county coroner, was called to Middletown at the deaths of victims there and Sheriff John Schumacher and deputies offered their services if they should be needed.
Daughter a Witness
One of the tragic notes in the report of the accident was that Wanda Bogan, age 16, daughter of the driver of the ill-fated car, and two friends, Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Polson, R. R. 2, Dayton, were following in another machine and witnessed the crash.
Bogan and his relatives and friends started on a fishing trip, planning to spend a few hours near the Chautauqua dam. Many reports of the accident were received, one to the effect that Bogan, probably confused, did not see the traction car or hear a warning signal, and drove from the highway onto the tracks. There is a clear view of the tracks and the road and Bogan failed to heed either the car siren or warning shouts from occupants of the car or from Polson, who saw the danger and attempted to drive his own car alongside the other machine.
Motorman Berkell, on the traction car, said his car was going about 25 miles an hour and that he saw the automobile about 50 feet away but was powerless to do anything. Several witnesses told authorities they believed the traction car was going at a higher rate of speed. The front end of the traction car was damaged slightly.
Previous Tragedy
The tragic accident so unnerved Motorman Berkell that he asked officials of the company to relieve him from the remainder of his run.
Relatives of the Bogan family recalled that his first wife was killed and Vernon Bogan badly injured when their car was struck by another machine at Wilmington, Ohio.
Vernon Bogan is survived by six sons, Cecil, Middletown; Basil, 402 Gunekel avenue; Walter, Murrow, O.; Henry, Mount Healthy, O,; Etha, 1229 West Second street and Alpheus, same address; one step-daughter, Wanda Lee, who was riding in the Polson car; two brothers and one sister.
Survivors of Albert Dickey include his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Dickey; two brothers, Charles and Leroy, and two sisters, Lois and Aletha.
Mrs. Reed is survived by one brother, Archie Ford. (Published in The Hamilton Daily News Journal (Hamilton, Ohio), on Monday, July 10, 1933) | Bogan, Vernon Leroy (I11988)

Aaron Nutt called a man of "correct habits"
Having a neighbor like Aaron Nutt would be a dream come true for most people. A multitalented man, he was just as much at home in the woods with a gun as he was in young Centerville where he surveyed land, operated a tannery where leather was made and constructed his house and sidewalks in town. He also was known for being a fine tailor, a skill he learned from the ages of 14 to 21 when he apprenticed with a local tailor in Mount Holly, N.J.
Born in a Quaker family on July 17, 1758, Nutt retained his Quaker values and didn't actively fight the British during the Revolutionary War, but instead served in the New Jersey Militia as a scout and a teamster.
"He was a man of eminently correct habits of life, possessing superior constitution, temperate, industrious and a cheerful disposition even marked to the end," wrote Nutt's son, Joesph of his father.
On April 1, 1799, Nutt arrived in Centerville, spelled Centreville at the time, from Kentucky where he had lived since 1788. He traveled through thick wilderness to survey and claim 320 acres of land in what is now the center of town.
Although, he was offered a place to store his belongings until a cabin could be built, Nutt, who was planning to build quickly, refused saying "I am not going to unpack until I enter my own cabin."
Traveling with Nutt was his wife Mary Archer Nutt, whom he had wed in 1779, and their six children. Prior to the move, the couple had buried three children, who were victims of smallpox in Kentucky.
Mary Nutt did at the age of 61 in 1817.
Nutt married a Warren County woman, Martha Pedrick Craig, in 1818 and they went on to start their own family, which included two sons, Joseph and John. The Nutt land became fragmented as Nutt gave each of his children a portion of his land.
Although he was a busy man, Nutt also owned a tavern The Sign of the Bucks Horn, and ran for office in Washington Twp., where he served as supervisor of roads and overseer of the poor.
In 1842, Nutt died and was buried in the old Centerville Cemetery next to his two wives. by Columist Sandra Baer | Nutt, Aaron (I665)

A Golden Wedding
Today, March 28, '98, is the 50th anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Riggs, of Raccoon Island, two prominent citizens of this county. Mr. Riggs was aged 28 and Mrs. Riggs 26 when they were married. They were married on the Guthrie farm adjoining their own. Mrs. Riggs' maiden name was Elizabeth Guthrie. She was a daughter of the late Truman and Hannah Guthrie. Mr. Riggs was the son of James Riggs, all prominent people. They became the parents of eight children—Edward, Mary Rozella, Mrs. Lizzie Ingels, Ernest all living, and Laura, Jessie and James dead. When they went to housekeeping Mr. Guthrie gave the bride a kicking cow that was worthless and Mr. Riggs had a horse. This was their entire capital. They went in debt for a farm and by industry and good management secured enough of this world's goods for themselves and children. Mr. Riggs is now among the largest tax-payers in the county. They had thought about celebrating their golden wedding day, but their recent bereavement of their son caused them to give up the idea of it. While their life has not been void of cares and heartaches common to life, they have had much to enjoy and transmit to others. Both have generally had the best of health, which is a great blessing of itself. Their many friends will wish them many returns of their wedding anniversary and that their lives may run smoothly to the end of all things. Mr. Riggs received a fall from a haymow about eight feet to the ground, Sunday morning, and sustained some bruises to his head and shoulder, from which he is suffering, but it is not thought of as serious. | Guthrie, Elizabeth Mary (I6977)

MEMORIES... by Patricia Beck Hormell
Everyone says she had a fiery temper and was very feisty. I don't remember that - but what I do remember is how short she was. Maybe she used her temper to make up for her stature. What I remember most is a picture that she had hanging over her sofa in her home on Kensington Drive in Dayton, Ohio. It was a rather dark, gruesome picture of Gladiators and lions in a Roman arena. The picture always bothered me, I didn't like it, but couldn't help staring at it. On the brighter side, my grandmother always had cookies to share, and a friendly neighbor that would give me a bag full of nickel candy bars. Back then nickel candy bars were big and a real treat for a young girl. | Florea, Clara Estella (I10)

NEWSPAPER ARTICLE
Pioneers - Shugars, Woods, Mikels
...It is often the little occurrences in life which mark our destiny more than the great things. When Henry Shugars, Sr., left his home in Wayne county, Ohio, in 1840, it was his intention to go to Steuben or Dekalb county, Indiana. While in Lima, Ohio, he met Samuel Ricks a bachelor who had entered some land in Benton township, which afterward became the Eugene Socie farm situated in section 17, south-west of Payne on the creek road. Mr. Ricks, Henry Shugars and Daniel Malott came through the wilderness together from Lima, along the Ridge road, which was then an Indian trail. After looking the land over Mr. Shugars decided to enter 80 acres and Daniel Malott 120 acres, at $1.25 per acre. Mr. Shugars returned to his home in Wayne county, but Mr. Mallott remained and built a cabin on each piece of land. Two years later in the spring of 1842, Mr. Shugars returned with his family and took up a permanent residence in the new country. Their only trading point at that time was Ft. Wayne and this meant a two days journey at least, and perhaps more. The first crop for new settlers was generally corn. Mr. Shugars raised a crop of wheat the third or fourth year. It was some years later before there was any market for timber products. About the first market was for black ash flat-hoops for which there was a market in New Haven and later in Monroeville and Van Wert. After coming to this county the parents of Mrs. Shugars died in Wayne county. The administrator adopted a novel method of sending Mrs. Shugars her annual income by cutting a bill in two pieces and sending them in letters at differnet times and then pasted together. No money was lost the family assures us.
...The first school which the Shugar children attended was in a log school house situated in the Kilpatrick grove southwest of Payne, just inside of the present gate. Here Harrison Kilpatrick, Asa Dillon and Charles Cuningham, afterwards a physician, tught the children of the Kilpatrick's, Stabler's, Henry's, Yearlin's, Snyder's and Lothammer's. on one occasion Mr. Kilpatrick taugh Frank Shugars alone.
...Henry Shugars, Sr. was born in Berks county, Pa., March 14, 1814, the son of Michael and Barbara (Gruber) Shugars both of whom died in Wayne county, Ohio. His wife Elizabeth (Howman) Shugars was born in Stark county, Ohio, April 28, 1818. Her parents were Frederick and Elizabeth (Rishler) howman, both of whom died in Wayne county, Ohio. They were married in Wayne county, Ohio, in September 1835. To this union was born Barbara, Oct. 17, 1839, William, Nov. 11, 1842, and died in the service of his country June 1865, at Washington, D.C., of measles and was buried there. Mary C. was born April 23, 1845, Franklin, Aug. 3, 1849, Henry J., Feb. 15, 1852. Mrs. Shugars died March 28, 1866. Mr. Shugars died March 8, 1891. The later years of his life was spent in the home of his son Henry who lived in the original homestead. The passing of these pioneers left only memories of their sterling character, ambition and energy in advancing teh interest of the community. They were of the Lutheran faith, and used to attended services held in the second story of the Snellenberger hewed log house. The history of the Shurgar's children will follow this article.

Another of our Pioneer Fathers Gone
—John Benham, son of Richard and Lydia, (maiden name Robins) was born in Monmouth county, New Jersey, August 11th, 1784, and died at his late residence, three-fourths of a mile north of Centreville, Montgomery county, April 23d, 1870, after a long and lingering illness, aged 85 years, 8 months and 12 days. Whilst a child, his parents moved to Pennsylvania - from there to the West, landing on the banks of the Ohio river where Cincinnati now stands, on New Year's day, 1790.
—He said the place at that time contained only one log cabin. Fort Washington was occupied by the army, and in a small fort, or stock-house, lived three or four famiies. His father tore up their boat and built a shanty against a large elm tree, in which the family spent the remainder of the winter. This was on the bank of the river at the foot of Main street. His father then bought one acre of land on the second bottom fronting on Main street for ten shillings - built a log house on it, and moved there in the spring of 1791; some time afterward, one half of the lot was sold for ten dollars to Jas. Kemper. His uncle, Robert Benham had the first shingle roofed house in Cincinnati.
—The first brick house there was built by James Gruniman, also the first mill on Millcreek. The building of both he distinctly remembered. He saw the armies of Harman, St. Clair and Wayne leave Cincinnati for the Indian counrty. Fort Washington was a four-square building with a block-house at each corner, making it then an eight-square fort.
—He lived in Cincinnati seven years, and saw the three first burials. The first was a soldier from the fort; the other two died at his father's house. Their names were Sullivans and Samuel Dugood. He moved from Cincinnati to a creek near Montgomery, now in Hamilton county, his father's object being to open a farm. But they had neither horses or plows. The first corn crop was put in entirely with hoes - corn-hills being made here and there, where an opening could be found. The crop was tended by himself and two sisters. One day he and one of his sisters were hunting rushes, when their dog was attacked by a bear, and was about to prove too much for the dog, when he fell to work on the bear with a club, killing him! He came to this county in 1804, and was married to Abigal Nutt, July 11, 1805, and they were the parents of 15 children, 9 of whom are still living. At the time of his coming into this county, hunting parties were very common, in whch he took a liberal part, with the follwing remembered persons: The Becks, Irwins, Dunkins and Baileys. On his first visit to Dayton, he found a few log cabins surrounded by hazel bushes and quite a pond of water on Main street. The most prominent men in Dayton at that time were Compton, merchant, and Cooper, who owned a Tub Mill, which stood about where the Patterson Saw-mill now stands. The millers name was Holt. In the war of 1812 he served two terms, one in Captain McClellan's company in 1812, in 1814 he served in Captain Joseph Ewing's company. In politics he was a Democrat, in religion a Universalist, and by profession and practice an honest man. | Benham, John (I562)

The Journal Herald, Dayton, Ohio, 13 September 1952, p21
When Was It I said something about Third and Main being asked to find everything but tombstones? That, believe me, was just an old phrase I threw into the conversation. . .
How long is it going to take for me to learn I just can't throw old phrases around in conversation: Somebody picks them up and throws them right back every time.
"Well, here's the day. Find the tombstones of John Hormel Sr. and his wife, Eleanor, who are buried in the vicinity of Lebanon—the name sometimes spelled Hormell or Hormal.
There is a small pioneer cemetery just off the east side of Route 48, south of Route 73, and I had a hunch John and his wife might be there. I ventured in a few weeks ago, wearing rubber boots, worrying about poison ivy because the weeds were over two feet high. Chiggers didn't enter my mind. But, the next week, the one-armed paper hanger with the hives had nothing on me!
"I did find the graves of John's brother, Henry, and his wife, also named Eleanor, but the chiggers prevented my searching farther.
"Marj, as you've guessed, I've been tracing our family genealogy. It's a fascinating and absorbing hobby and I'm wondering if there is a genealogical society in Dayton? . . ."
Oh, no, you don't—you don't entice me into any old cemetery with chiggers!
But, I just had to mention your plight. Now, Third and Main readers HAVE been queried about tombstones which is about the most far-fetched thing I can think of at the moment. Unless it would be—oh, oh, watch it, there, Marj. No matter how far-fetched you think it is SOMEBODY will catch you up on it . . . | Hormell, John (I6899)
