POPULATION OF SENECA COUNTY IN 1880. The census
enumerators of Seneca County have made their returns to the clerk's
office just in time to record the population of Seneca county for 1880
into this chapter. CENSUS RETURNS. At last the census enumerators have completed their work, and we are now able to give the population of the county by townships, as below, and with them the population of 1870; also the loss and gain made during the past ten years: Page 632 -
Page 633 - It will be noticed that
Seneca county has made the handsome increse of 6,120 during the past
decade, of which our city is to be credited with about thirty-six
per cent. The towns seen to have made the most gains, and, in

the county is in the towns. The population of our county since
its formation ahs been as follows: 1830; 5159; 1840, 18,128;

COUNTY TREASURERS.
It should be remembered that under the new constitution, the treasurer is elected at the October election and his term of office commences in September following. The above figures, therefore, show the years when the term of service commenced, not the year really when the treasurer was elected. Mr. Barrack was re-elected in October.

Page 639 -
Scattered here and there in our primitive settlement, a few
venerable men and women are found, the remnants of a glorious race
and an heroic age. The wild solitude of nature, the wild
animals they hunted, the savage men who disputed their settlements,
the companions of their joys and sorrows, are all gone, and they
appear like strangers from a distant land. What Ohio is to-day
in her majestic strength; what were her extensive and various
benevolent institutions; what is her superb system of education;
what is the sublime patriotism that rallied her sons to the dread
conflict, growing brighter and stronger to the end, giving the great
names that shine brightest in the dark splendor of war; what she is
in conspicuous statesmanship, and in the vastness of her material
forces and moral power, comes from the noble race of pioneers thus
passing away. |
