From The Napoleon Star, 1 Oct 1852
CHOLERA-The following, taken from the DEMOKRAT of the 25th inst., it appears the cholera (missing words) [emerging?] to some extent at Defiance:
Within a few days several deaths have [taken?] place here from cholera, or some similar [disease?]. The deaths are: Henry DOUD, [age?] 20; Mary DOUD, aged 17; also, another [child?] of Wm. DOUD; Joseph STONE, marble cutter aged about 60, long resident in this vicinity.
These lived in the HULL & SEMANS house on the other side of the Maumee, nearly opposite the Fort, though the death of STONE took [place] in this village. A child of Mr. PRICE, [and?] also one of a German have died.
These are all the deaths that have occurred [at] this time. No serious [concern] is expressed. It is not likely that it [will] become epidemic, or prevail to any great [extent.]
FACTS FROM THE 1500s
If people could obtain pork it was a special occasion. When visitors came, they would hang up their bacon to show off. It was a sign of wealth that a man could “bring home the bacon.” They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and “chew the fat.”
Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto tbe food, causing lead poisoning death. This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous.
Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky. The combination would sometimes knock the imbibers out for a couple of days. Someone walking along tbe road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat, drink and wait to see if they would wake up. Hence the custom of holding a wake.

War of 1812 Battalions
The amendment to the Ohio Militia Act of 1803 (passed in 1805) created “odd battalions” which consisted of mini-regiments in any county which did not have sufficient companies to form a regiment. They had their own staff officers and sometimes bands. These may be found in the Roster of Ohio Soldiers in the War of 1812 and the National Archives’ compiled military records for the War of 1812. They included: 1st Div., 1st Brig., Hamilton Co.; 1st Div., 4th Brig., Greene-Clark Co.; 2nd Div., Ross Co.; 2nd Div., 2nd Brig. Ross Co.; 2nd Div., 4th Brig., Pickaway Co.; 3rd Div., Fairfield Co.; 4th Div., 2nd Brig., Columbiana Co.; and 4th Div., 4th Brig., Portage Co.

County Citizens
Henry Ludeman (from History of Northwest Ohio by Nevin O. Winter, 1917)
Henry LUDEMAN belonged to some of the pioneer stock of Henry County, and spent many years in successful business enterprise, part of the time at Toledo and part of the time at Napoleon. He died at his home, 831 Scott Street, in Napoleon November 16, 1913. Mrs. LUDEMAN is still living at Napoleon and she, too, represents a family of early settlers in Henry County.
A native of Germany, Henry LUDEMAN was born in Hanover December 24, 1842, and was 5 years of age when brought to the United States. His parents were William and Mary (LUDEMAN) LUDEMAN, both natives of Hanover. William Ludeman and wife grew up in their native kingdom, and he learned the trade of blacksmith, which he followed on a private estate in Germany for a number of years. In 1847, accompanied by his wife and 2 children, William and Henry, he set out for the United States, leaving Bremen and after 15 weeks or more landing from a sailing vessel at Baltimore. The little family journeyed to the interior by way of the river, canals and great lakes, and over a country highway to Henry Co. Here in the midst of the wilderness at what is known as Friday Schoolhouse in Napoleon Twp. he secured a tract of land and had to cut out the trees in order to make room for his first log cabin, which contained a room for living purposes and a room to serve as his blacksmith shop. Nearly all the meat consumed in the first years was supplied by the wild game killed in the neighboring woods. In this Ohio home 1 more child was born, August, and soon after his birth the mother passed away in the prime of life. William Ludeman married for his second wife, Mary HAAS. She was also a native of Hanover and had come to the United States in young womanhood. After a few years William Ludeman died, leaving 1 child by his second wife, Eliza, who is now the wife of Henry SUNENBURG of Hamler, Ohio; Mary Ludeman afterwards married a Mr. BREMER, and both are now deceased, leaving two sons and one daughter.
Henry Ludeman being left an orphan by the death of his mother and afterwards of his father, started out at the age of sixteen to make his own way in the world. For a time he worked on the canal at Florida in Henry County, and then came to Napoleon and found work as a grocery clerk. After his marriage he established himself in the grocery business and also built up a large trade in the handling of ice. Still later he engaged in the manufacture of brick, and by these various enterprises acquired a modest capital. Selling out his interests at Napoleon he moved to Toledo, where for six years he was one of the leading grocery merchants. He then disposed of his business at Toledo and returned to Henry County, where he bought the 140-acre farm of his father-in-law in Napoleon Twp. To that farm he gave all his energies for twenty-one years, and was one of the ablest and best known farmers in that vicinity. After that he retired and moved to Napoleon, buying a new home of eleven rooms at 831 Scott Street. There he remained until his death. Henry Ludeman was a democrat, was a confirmed Lutheran and was a man of high principles, a good neighbor, and is remembered gratefully by a large circle of loyal friends.
In Toledo, Ohio, in 1865 he married Miss Henrietta CLASSMAN. Mrs. Ludeman was born in Lippe Detmold, Germany, June 14, 1843, a daughter of Fred and Johanna (BAKERMAN) CLASSMAN, who were also natives of the same locality, where they were reared and married. Besides Mrs. Ludeman there was another daughter, Julia, who was born in Germany. In 1852 the family set out from Bremen and by sailing vessel arrived in New York City ten weeks later. They came on west as far as Cleveland, where they lived a year, and while there a son was born, Fred Classman. Fred Classman grew up and married and left seven children, and of these children Mrs. Ludeman has reared George, who married Regina NEIDEMEYER and now lives with Mrs. Ludeman. In 1854 the Classman family left Cleveland and moved into the wilds of Henry County. They established their first home in the woods four miles west of Napoleon on 140 acres of heavily forested land. There they cut out a space among the trees and built their first log cabin home. Subsequently this was replaced by a substantial frame residence and a barn, and this farm in its improved condition Mr. Ludeman subsequently bought. Mr. Classman lost his wife at the age of 56. He was a strong democrat and both he and his wife were members of the Lutheran Church.
Since the death of her husband Mrs. Ludeman has lived at her present home on Scott Street. She also owns some valuable business and residence property in Napoleon and has shown much ability in managing her business and private affairs. To her marriage with Mr. Ludeman ony one child was born, Julia, who died when two months old. Mr. and Mrs. Ludeman were confirmed members of the Lutheran Church.
Monthaven, Frank H. (from Campbell’s History of Henry County, Ohio, 1905)
FRANK H. MONTHAVEN, a well-known citizen of Deshler, Ohio, was born at what was then called North Ridge, four miles south of Deshler, in Putnam county, Ohio, on October 8, 1859, and is the son of Frank and Bridget (MALOY) MONTHAVEN, the father a Frenchman, though born in Switzerland, and the mother born in Ireland. The father came to America at twenty years of age and the mother at ten, and they were married at Lima, Ohio. A few months later they removed to Putnam county, where the father was employed in railroad construction work. He was a shoemaker by trade and later established himself in that line at Belmore, Putnam county, where he remained until his death in 1883, aged fifty years. His widow survived until 1896, dying at the age of fifty-seven years. They had ten children, Frank N., John, Mary, Margaret, Josephine, Ellen, Sadie, Grace, Edward H., and Joseph William. The parents were members of the Catholic church.
When the subject of this sketch was eleven years of age his father bound him out to Joseph Fish, of Bartlow township, Henry county, with whom he remained until he was fifteen years old. He then returned to Belmore and lived with his parents until 1890. The year previous he had bought the Phoenix Hotel property at Deshler and in 1890 he took charge of it, having successfully conducted the hotel since that time. In 1900 he improved the property with an addition, the building now being of frame, two stories high, with sixteen sleeping rooms, with a good dining room and bar in connection, and is one of the most popular caravansaries in this portion of the county. In the spring of 1898 Mr. Monthaven erected one of the prettiest arid most comfortable residences in this town. In 1901 he bought the Pioneer drug building and remodeled it into one of the best business blocks in the city. In 1903 he built the adjoining fine brick block, in which the post office is located. In 1902 he purchased two farms, of forty acres each, in this township, being adjoining tracts, which he has developed into one of the model farms of the township.
Mr. Monthaven married Miss Augusta Mull, who was born in Hancock county, Ohio, on January 29, 1865, the daughter of Jacob Mull, and to them have been born six children, Kittie May, the wife of Jacob Metz, of Bowling Green, Ohio, and Nellie B., Mabel, Allan G., LeRoy M. and Lucile. A man of marked business ability and of genial disposition, Mr. Monthaven stands high in the estimation of his fellow citizens.
The Phoenix House was located south of the crossing of the north-south Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton (later Baltimore and Ohio) tracks in Deshler. It was a combination Restaurant and rooming house.
This photograph was probably taken about 1915. [Ed. note: No one should accuse our ancestors of being excellent spellers! This sign actually reads “Phienix.]
The Miami and Erie Canal
The importance of the Miami and Erie Canal to opening the isolated communities of Henry County to trade, transportation, and communication can hardly be imagined today. The Miami and Erie Canal was a canal that connected the Ohio River in Cincinnati, OH with Lake Erie in Toledo, OH. It consisted of 19 aqueducts, three guard locks, and I 03 canal locks. Each lock measured 90 feet by 15 feet and they collectively raised the canal 395 feet above the level of Lake Erie and 513 feet above the Ohio River.
The peak of the canal was called the Loramie Summit and extended 19 miles between New Bremen, OH to lock 1-S in Lockington, north of Piqua, OH. The system consisted of 301.49 miles of canal channel and was completed in 1845, at a cost of $8,062,680.07.
Grand Lake St. Marys, an artificial lake west of St. Marys, OH, was originally constructed as a reservoir to supply water for the canal. Lake Loramie in Shelby County also was constructed as a reservoir for the canal. Indian Lake in Logan County was greatly enlarged to provide a steadier supply of water for the Sidney feeder canal.
Two branch canals were constructed; the Warren County Canal at Middletown, OH to Lebanon, OH, in 1840, and the Sidney or Port Jefferson feeder canal up the Miami Valley from Lockington through Sidney to a dam upstream from Port Jefferson. Much of the canal corridor remains a prosperous manufacturing area and today I-75 and railroads provide the transportation instead of the canal.
At Providence Metropark along the Maumee River near Grand Rapids, OH, there is a historical reenactment of the Miami-Erie canal. Historical actors dress and act as if it is 1876 during the months of May-October. Two mules pull the canal boat titled “The Volunteer” while workers provide commentary to the passengers. An original lock is part of the tour as it is the only remaining working lock in the state of Ohio.
According to Gov. Thomas Worthington and Gov. Ethan Allen Brown in the 1820’s, quick and easy access to the Ohio River and Lake Erie would provide transport for farmers and business owners via canals rather than turnpikes. Opening new markets for Ohio goods was their goal.
The first canal to be dug was the Ohio and Erie, starting at Licking Summit, just south of Newark, OH on July 4, 1825. The canal was built directly through some Miami Indian villages. Loans financed the combined cost which eventually totaled $41 million dollars. The Ohio and Erie cost about $10,000 per mile to complete. Although this nearly bankrupted the state government, the canals allowed Ohioans to prosper from the I 830’s until the Civil War.
At the peak of construction, more than 4,000 workers labored on the massive construction job. They generally earned thirty cents per day plus room and board. The job was attractive to many recent immigrants to the U. S., especially the French and Irish who later homesteaded along the waterway in Henry County. The Ohio and Erie Canal was finished in 1833 while the Miami and Erie required twelve more years to complete as men dug by hand and hauled dirt in wheelbarrows. “Maumee Fever” was a common complaint among the laborers during summer weather.
Once completed, other difficulties arose, Flooding did serious damage to the locks, walls, and towpaths, requiring extensive repairs. In the northern part of the state, cold weather would cause the canals to freeze, causing damage as well as stopping the shipping. Usually these canals were drained dry from November to April. Workers would use that time to repair any damage caused earlier in the year.
Boats were drawn by two to six horses or mules, depending upon the size of the boat and load. The driver rode the left rear mule or horse in the team. A speed of 6-8 miles per hour was achieved. Relay teams were stationed along the paths. A trip from Toledo to Lafayette, IN was about 242 miles and could be made in 56 hours. The fare was generally 3 cents per mile on the packets and 2 Yi cents per mile on the freight boats. Meals and lodging were included. Between 35 and 70 passengers could be accommodated. Toledo to Cincinnati required 4 days and 5 nights because of the number of locks, which required approximately an hour each to negotiate.
Farmers in Henry County were able to benefit greatly from this mode of travel for themselves and their produce. Prior to the canal, a man had to travel to Monroe, Ml to have flour ground. That trip was sometimes made on foot with the bag of grain slung across his shoulder or on horseback, if the condition of the swamp allowed.
Most canals remained in operation in Ohio until the late 1800’s. By the 1850’s, however, this expensive government project lost business to a new technology-the railroads. Although canal boats offered more comfort for the passengers and railroads cost more to ship both people and goods, they could deliver much more quickly and were not limited by a water source or winter weather.
In Henry County, the same waterway was used by several canal systems. The Wabash and Erie linked the Great lakes to the Ohio River using the Miami and Erie and linking the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. Until recently, the canal right-of-way could be traced along 24 which was built upon the old canal bed.
The Miami and Erie Canal ran from Toledo to Cincinnati utilizing the Wabash and Erie to reach Lake Erie via the Toledo to Junction, Ohio route which met in Defiance. The remnants of this canal may be viewed at Bend View Metro Park and Side Cut Metro Park in Toledo, Providence/Grand Rapids and Defiance.

Index of German Scrapbook Translations, Vol. 2
Several years ago a three-volume set of family scrapbooks was donated to our society. The items were cut from at least one German-language newspaper from this area, but not dated or otherwise identified. It is probable that most of the articles came Per Defiance Herold (1895-1920) and included items regarding families in western Hemy Co. and in Twps. transferred to Defiance Co. Ken Thompson translated the German items for us. An index will be printed as space permits.
