Hamler Highlights
The Hamler Village Council was formed in July of 1888. At that time Sam DICKERHORF was the mayor and meetings were held in L. R. PARKER’s office as there was no city hall. Mr. PARKER owned a local saw mill. Those initially elected to the council were: G. F. HAYES, L. R. PARKER, William BARHITE, St., N. JACKMAN, James V. TEN EYCK, and George BELL.
Construction on the jail began in October of 1888. Upon the death of Sam DICKERHORF John WICKENHISER assumed the position of mayor and about the same period council held their meetings in the second story of the Otto LEAKS Shoe Store just south of the junction of Marion St. and the east-west railroad tracks.
In April of 1895 a committee consisting of Henry BADEN, Nick JACKMAN and Albert REDDERSON was appointed to search for a building site for the construction of a city hall. By December of that year a lot had been purchased and construction began. It was completed in 1897 at a cost of $4,000. At a cost of $125. Sam Bell wired the building for electricity in the summer of 1920. It not only held a bell, which rang at noon each day, but temporary classrooms to house the booming population of children during the railroad era. The upper floor was used as a gymnasium for basketball games.
The building was vacated in 1996 due to the necessity for expensive repairs. A new structure was built and the Hamler Historical Society purchased the original city hall. Inside is housed much town memorabilia, the second floor being largely devoted to basketball team items. Fund-raising events are held to defray the cost of maintaining the building and society meetings are held downstairs. A veterans memorial honoring those from Hamler who have served in the armed forces stands in front of the building.
Old Remedies from 1857
BURNS—When any person has slightly burned its flesh, apply a thin coating of salt to the part. It will draw out all the fire.
FOR THE TEETH—Powdered charcoal will render the teeth whiter than any other known article; it also purifies the teeth.
SLEEP—Infants cannot sleep too long; let nature take care of itself, and never wake them because you think they have slept long enough.
Early Hamler Businessmen
After the B & O Railroad arrived in 1873 saw mills and a stave factory were soon established in Hamler. The Buckeye Stave Factory, owned by A. W. LEE, who also owned one in Deshler, was located where the grain elevator now stands. A saw mill owned by L. R. PARKER was located just east of this and there was another one owned by E. E. GARDNER.
In 1885 W. H. PEPER had a saw and planning mill. A Mr. PANNING helped operate it. By 1901 PANNING Lumber was owned by Charles and Herman PANNING across the B & O railroad. The first General Store was operated by Mr. DILTS and was located on the site of BICHAN’s Garage. In 1881 Joseph BELFY started the Belfy Saloon. Cora and Ida BURNS had a grocery store in 1882 that was later operated by Mimi HENDERSON.
The Hamler Herald, a newspaper published by the RICHMAN Bros., advertised many general stores. An issue in 1890, for example, carried ads for the following businesses: John WICKENHISER, dry goods, clothing and groceries; E. C. MOON, drugs and groceries; GARRISON and ANDERSON, groceries and provisions; Allen SILLICK, groceries and tobaccos; The Toledo Cash Store, and D. E. THOMAS, prop., dry goods, groceries, and notions. That year W. S. BARHITE started a grocery. In the early 1900’s grocery stores were operated by SHOEMAKERS, Otto STUVE, Charles PRECHT, George JOHNSON and Mike MACK, Ed KING, Henry BRANDT and Eugene ROWLAND, Charles EICKHOFF, KNAPP Bros., Mearle LAUBENTHAL, Harold HAHN and Henry DACHENHAUS, Dean GROLL, George SAGER and Merle BISHOP.
An 1890 paper listed Henry ASKINS, meats; and Lew & Enoch MURRY, City Meat Market. Later meat markets were George REDDERSON; Herman GOBROGGE; Fred KOSSOW; MEYERHOLTZ, GUST and George HOOPS operating as HOOPS Bros. Market; Charles EICKOFF; Merle LAUBENTHAL; KNAPP Bros., Merle BISHOP; and Dean GROLL.
A stockyard for shipping cattle and hogs to market was operated by LEW MURRY and was located on the site later occupied by the fertilizer plant. Subsequent operators were George REDDERSON, Hubert ODEY, Michael HAYES, H. GOBROGGE, and Gust HOOPS. Another stockyard located on the D.T. & I railroad was built and operated by Art FRAKER and later by a Mr. WARD.
Druggists were a Mr. DUNKLE, D. R. ALFORD—both where the post office stands—and Felix SMITH on the site of the Dairy Bell. During the flu epidemic of 1917-18, Felix never locked up, sleeping in his shop, and ready to help anyone who came by and waked him. He installed the first ice cream parlor in Hamler in this store. The first doctors were Dr. PUTNAM and Dr. COWDRICK. In 1890 Dr. G. M. SPECK, Dr. C. M. THOMPSON and Dr. F. O. REDDIN arrived. Dr. A. R. RUSSELL began practice in 1899.
In 1890 Joe MERRIT sold farm implements as did Henry BERNS, who also sold buggies and did tinning and roofing. By 1898 Fred BADENHOP sold farm implements and Weber wagons. J. L. ROSE advertised blacksmithing and horseshoeing in 1890. Other blacksmiths were Joe WELLFLY, Charles CARROL, L. BURR, George DETERS, and Guy FREY. Roy THOMAS was the last of the hammer and anvil blacksmiths in town.
The first hotel was the GARDNER Hotel owned and operated by Ed GARDNER, located at the intersection of the B & O and D. T. & I. railroads. It was later owned by John MILLER. In 1890 the COE House, owned by F. R. COE, was located where the water tower now stands. Later that hotel was operated by the SAMLOWS. It is probably remembered best by the name of the SHIRTS Hotel and Saloon, owned by Oery SHIRTS.
From the Henry County Signal, 30 Sept 1886
HOLGATE ITEMS—Henry PFAHLERT was surprised by a party of friends last Monday night.
Miss May SHEFFIELD and mother, dined with the editor and family last Tuesday.
Mr. SEELEY while coming from his mill to Holgate on last Friday night, ran across a catamount or some other wild denizen of the woods that presented quite a startling appearance.
Mrs. John OAKLEY, of the Ridge, gave birth to three babes this morning. Two boys and a girl. All are doing well. P. S. This is only a report, but supposed to be true.
LETTER LIST—The following is a list of letters remaining at the Napoleon post office for the week ending Sept. 30, 1886. Emma FORD, 2; Calie HASMENN, and A. J. THOMPSON. Third class matter: Geo. W. GAGE.
FATAL ACCIDENT—ON Wednesday afternoon of last week, the family of Mr. Jacob BALES who reside about a mile west of Napoleon, were shocked to see Mr. BALES walk into the yard badly brusied and mashed up and unable to talk or inform them what had occurred. It was soon ascertained that Mr. B. had been rolling his wheat field to mash down the clods with a double land roller which had a seat directly infront for the driver to sit on, and that the horses had run away throwing him out of the seat and in front of the rollers, which rolling against and over him had caused his injuries. What caused the horses to run is not positively known, but a very vivid stroke of lightning having occurred about that time quickly followed by sharp heavy thunder, is supposed to have been the cause. A physician was soon summoned, when it was ascertained Mr. BALES’ breast bone had been badly broken and mached down, several of his ribs on the left side broken off and that the jagged ends had penetrated the lungs. He was also otherwise badly bruised an injured. All was done that could be for him, but he died Thursday morning before day light about twelve hours after the accident. His age was 64 years, 11 months and 26 days. He has long resided in Henry County, and was one of our well known and most highly respected citizens. He possessed a fine farm, with an elegant residence and excellent out buildings and was well fixed with this world’s goods. He was buried in Glenwood cemetery Saturday, after appropriate funeral services.

From the Napoleon North-West, 1 October 1852
HORRID OCCURRENCE—A Melancholy occurrence took place in Harrison township, this county, on Monday morning last. A man by the name of Jeremiah ESKRIDGE, entered the house of Mr. Levi SPANGLER, about nine o’clock, on the morning of the occurrence, armed with a double-barreled pistol and rifle. His first inquiry, on entering was, “Where is Mrs. SPANGLER?”
The daughter of Mrs. S, said she and her father had gone to a public venue, some distance up the river. He remarked to the girl that she must talk prettier that morning than usual. She told him she had always talked reasonable and treated him with civility. He then drew from his coat the doubled barreled pistol and flourished it in the air, saying that she had but a few moments to live. “You had better put up the pistol, you might shoot some of the children,” she remarked.
He then cocked the weapon, she stepped forward toward him and attempted to take it out of his hand, but he held it out of her reach, pointed it at her and then at his heart. She started to flee from him, but before she had time to wheel, he discharged the contents of one barrel, striking her in the right side, and upper part of the chest. Where the ball lodged the physicians have not been able to ascertain. She ran to a com field, about twenty rods from the home, where a man was cutting com.
After alarming this man, she returned with him and passed the house some two rode, to a [pair of chairs?—unreadable] where she remained till the man, whom she had alarmed, went about half a mile distant from them, and alarmed the neighbors. During this time she was not aware that she was shot. The blood from the wound was discovered, she was taken hold of by a man who helped her to the house. Immediately after ESKRIDGE shot the girl he held the muzzle of the pistol against his chest, immediately over the heart, discharging the contents of the other barrel, the ball entering and passing through his heart, lodged in his back just under the skin. He was found with both hands clinched over the clothes over the wound. He struggled home three quarters of an hour before he died.
ESKRIDGE had been paying attention to the girl for some months, she giving him little or no encouragement. He asked her mother for her in marriage, which she refused, saying she was too young, being some fourteen years of age.
The girl (whose name is Mary), at last account was improving rapidly, and it is supposed will recover. ESKRIDGE was about 18 years of age.
[A correction was published 5 Nov 1852, but the page was folded when microfilmed and completion of some words or phrases is suggested:]
Correction
We were called on by Mr. Levi SPANGLER, — by a man named ESKRIDGE, who after[ward]—shot himself, to make some corrections. — it as given to us by a gentleman who — [we supposed] was “posted,” he being present — after the act was committed. But Mr. [SPANGLER] — informs us that a part of the statement was [incorrect.] We will give it as given to us by — [the father] of the girl. He said that no [intimacy] ever existed between Mr. ESKRIDGE and [the girl], or anything in the shape of mutual [affection.] Dr. McHENRY, who made a post [mortum?] — examination of ESKRIDGE before an [inquest was?] held over the body, says that the ball from [the pistol] did not pass through the heart, but — in the right lobe of the left lung. Dr. [McHENRY] — is of the opinion that under the [circumstances] he might have lived half an hour after.
22 Oct 1852 – Asa EMERY appointed administrator of the estate of Jeremiah ESKRIDGE.

Ken Thompson Translations for German Scrapbooks at Library
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 identified. It is believed the articles came from Der Defiance Herold (1895-1920) and included items regarding families in western Henry County and in townships transferred to Defiance County.
Ken Thompson is translating the items for us. An index is being published as space permits. Vol. I translation is completed.
