................

Last Saturday, the 18th, WILLIAM FORD and THOMAS WILSON were hauling ice, when near the I.C.R.R. crossing at HORSE BRANCH, they became involved in a difficulty, which grew out of a trivial matter about which they had before disputed.  Wilson struck Ford a fearful blow over the head with a breast-yoke, crushing his skull.

DR.’s STANLEY and TAYLOR of HARTFORD and DR. TAYLOR of BEAVER  DAM were called to attend the wounded man.  A portion of his skull extending from the back to the top of his head was removed .  It was four inches long by one and one-half wide.

Ford has since been unconcious and cannot recover.  He has borne a good reputation and was the main dependence of his aged parents.  Wilson was not hurt.  He has not been arrested.  He is the son of DAN T. WILSON.  Since the above was put to type, we have learned indirectly through ESQ. Wm AWTRY that FORD had threatened WILSON with a drawn gun and friends interfered.  Then Ford rushed towards Wilson with a drawn knife, when Wilson struck him.  If these facts be true, Wilson will establish a case of self-defense.

NOTE: From the MAR 3rd issue;  WILLIAM FORD died on the 26th.  TOM WILSON is awaiting court action on the matter.

....................

Perhaps no man living is as familiar with the history of HARTFORD and OHIO COUNTY as the HON. H. P. TAYLOR.    MR. TAYLOR has had better opportunity to learn than most of us.  His grandfather, HARRISON TAYLOR, was a pioneer and had the early history from the lips of the men whose struggles with wild beasts and wilder savages are now almost forgotten.

Being a man of culture and observation the elder Harrison Taylor took pleasure in detailing to his young grandson the stories of courage, of privation and self-denial which made up the early history of Hartford, and with a boy’s love for tales of adventure, the grandson cherished the unwritten history thus taught.

In MAY 1799, a man named STATLER, in company of party of fellow GERMANS from PENSYLVANIA, started on the long trip down the OHIO and MISSISSIPPI rivers to NEW ORLEANS.  At the mouth of what is now known as RED RIVER, Statler left the flat boat to shoot a deer.  The deer fled and Statler pursued it, lost his way and left alone in the great wilderness, his comrades thinking him dead.

After the first unreasoning fit of terror and despair passed away, the man started to wend his way on foot through the solitude to Pennsylvania. Days of misery and nights of apprehension succeeded each other.  Footsore, weakened by hunger and sickened by the mist and damp from the bottoms, Statler left the river and branched out after crossing the Green River.

While stumbling through the dense cane on NORTH CREEK, his ears heard the tinkle of a cow bell, and he followed her with his last remaining strength until she came to what is now Hartford.

Only one house stood here then and it stood where A. T. NALL’S residence is and was occupied by a German family.  Statler was taken in and his wants ministered to because in those days a white face was  a friend’s face.
