The following are a few newspaper clippings from my grandmother's scrapbooks. While no date is on these, the clippings are from 1900-1920's. Grandma cut them from Knox County newspapers. She was Mabel Mahla Frazier. Unless otherwise noted, people listed as "from this city" or "from this vicinity" refers to Mount Vernon, Ohio. I regret that in this scrapbook, Grandma didn't put the dates beside the items she clipped. The following items were between 1900 and 1920, and - judging by where they are in the scrapbook, I'll "hazard" a guess and say that they occurred before 1910 -- but please don't take my "guess" as fact.

ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO
------
Editor Republican News:
Thinking that a little history might interest your readers, I will tell them that in October, 1806, Jonathan Hunt, my grandfather, settled on the farm now owned by Mr. Shinnaberry, five miles south of Mt. Vernon on the Newark road, and this home was known in the old stage days as the Hunt tavern. When Jonathan moved to this farm it was a dense forest, nothing having been cut from the heavy oak forest except what the Red Men had taken for his use. Here, one hundred years ago on Monday last, my grandfather commenced to build his log cabin in what was then the Far West, he having come from Maryland to help hew out a pathway and assist in making the great state of Ohio what it is today, one of the greatest in the Union.
Mr. Hunt reared upon this farm a family of seven children, three of whom are still living, namely Mrs. Nancy Sligar of Columbus, 93 years of age; Mr. Geo. Hunt (I think 87 years old), who is in the West; and Honor J. Hook, now over 80 years, living near Martinsburg. Mrs. Hook writes me she spent Monday last at the old home in honor of the 100th anniversary, and had I been apprised of the day and date I would gladly have gone out and visited the scenes of my childhood, and helped to make merry ever the occasion; but if I live I will go out on the 200th anniversary and see what evolution has accomplished.
Very truly,
LEROY G. HUNT
