ETNA TOWNSHIP.-By the township records, it appears that the trustees divided the township into five school districts, and into four road districts, March 3, 1834 At that time the United States government was constructing the National road. John
Henthom was then acting justice of the peace; Ambrose Meeker, Benjamin Grable and Jonathan Glendenning, township trustees; Robert Clum, clerk; Tracy Scott, treasurer, and Henry Niswander, Hiram Buell and John Murphy fence viewers. Buell was a doctor, and "Jack" Murphy was a "man-of-wars-man" and a noted character in his day. (page 413) '15
"September 22nd, the trustees met at the office of John Henthorn to appoint a constable to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of John Snider, and the doctor, Hiram Buell, received the appointment.
'November 11th of the same year, Moses Cheney was appointed constable as successor to Dr. Buell, who, through sickness or inability, was unable to perform the duties of the office. (page 414) '15
In 1834 this little town was visited by the cholera, which made sad havoc, nearly or quite depopulating the place. Among its victims were Daniel Warner, who was then keeping store; O. R. Baldwin, also a merchant; Dr. Buell, Mr. Smith, and others. (page 414) '15
(this is in error, His wife, Magdalenadied at this time, not Hiram)

AGOSTA.
This place has also had the names of "Carey Station," "Belfast" and " New Bloomington." Its oldest name is derived from that of two men, W. W. and Wingate Carey, who, in 1858, laid out the village. The former laid out the lots on the east side of Main street, south of the railroad, and the latter that portion lying east of Main street north of the railroad. At the same time Carey Darlington laid out the west side north of the railroad, and Armstrong M. Smallwood the part south of the railroad west side of Main. The last named died May 20, 18--, and Dr. A. W. Buell bought the property of the widow. cut the lots into different shapes and sizes, laid out other lots and lived here until 1880, when he went away.
Heman Scott came and bought 120 acres of Col. Cochran's farm and started a store in 1844-45, and the place then took the name of Scott Town, while the post office retains the old name of Cochranton. In 1851, Mr. Scott went to California; other merchants were subsequently Thomas Mahan, Allen De Long and W. C. De Long, for about four years; John Kennedy, three or four years; A. W. Buell and others. The present dry goods merchants are John Holstotter and John Grubb. Dr. Stroup is the physician and druggist. There are two blacksmith shops and one church building, occupied by the Methodists.In 1871, James Elliott came from Marion and established a general store where the hotel now stands, and in February, 1872, sold out to T. R. Shinn, also from Marion. During the summer, he built the store room on the corner of Main and Buell streets, at a cost of $2,800, and commenced business in it in October, in the line of dry goods and clothing. In April, 1880, he sold out and bought the storehouse on the southwest corner of Main and Buell Streets, where he sold groceries, queensware, boots and shoes. This building was erected in 1878 by Lewis Merriman, of Kenton, at a cost of $2,500. Mr. Merriman, and his son-in-law, David Roby, as the firm of Merriman & Roby, carried on mercantile business until the fall of 1879, and sold to John Byers, who, in turn, in Aril, 1880, sold to T. R. Shinn. The latter, in April, 1883, sold to Bathard & Taft, of MountGilead, who bought both stores and still run them.
NOTE: street named after Abraham
EDUCATIONAL.
The " NewBloomingtonUnionSchool District" was organized in 1875. Two acres were purchased of Wingate Carey, Sr., and in 1876 a school building was erected, at a cost of $2,500, and was furnished with the latest improved furniture at an expense of $1,000. At that time, the School Board comprised A. W. Buell, C. W. Powelson and A. W. Ward. Since their organization in 1876, there has been expended for the union schools an aggregate of $8,774.90, being an average of $1,253.70 per year. The schools have an average attendance of 110. There are three departments. The Principals have been Hattie Hudson, 1876-77; J. Q. Codding, 1877-78; Frank Umpbreys, 1878 to 1880; O. B. Zell, 1880-81; A. N. La Rue, 1881-82; M. F. Dutton, 1882-83; C. R. Marshall, 1883; M. F. Dutton, 188384.

Herman Scott came in 1844, bought 120 acres of Cochran's land and he started a store, and the town was changed to Scott Town, but the Post Office remained Cochranton. In 1851 Scott went to California, and other merchants were subsequently Thomas Mahal, Allen Delong, W. C. Delong, for about four years John Kennedy, A. W. Buell, John Hosetter and John Grubb, Dr. Stroup was physician and druggist.
------
In the spring of 1865, Dr. A. W. Buell came to this county, and purchased forty-five acres of land, including the west half of Bloomington and Carey Station, except two lots before sold off. Upon this half of the village was one small, cheap plank house, and an old log cabin. Upon the northeast quarter was a small plank house and upon the southeast quarter was a warehouse and three small frame dwellings.
Dr. Buell immediately laid not and recorded a new village, which he called New Bloomington, the same name as the post-office. Numerous additions were made and the old town of Bloomington was re-platted and re-numbered, and added to it. The name Carry's station was also done away with, and the present flourishing village of New Bloomington stands forth as the result of the enterprise and energy of its founder. When Dr. Buell came there were no stores in the place-one inferior and very hard saloon was all the trading house of any kind. There were no mechanics, and no prospect of the village ever growing, but the Dr. threw open his lands, began to sell or trade lots on any side or corner, and built houses in any part that would sell. Improvement was soon noticed, business sprang up, and the population increased till now it has several hundred inhabitants. It was long since incorporated, and contains a jail, a nice church, a fine union school-house, stores of every kind, mills, warehouse, mechanics' shop, etc. It has good streets and nice plank walks, andis a thriving place.

A biography of Abraham in the Atlas...
A. W. BUELL, M.D., was born June 9, 1830, in Fairfield Co., Ohio; his father, Hiram Buell, M.D., was born in the State of New York, and his grandfather, Joseph Buell, was a native of England ; his mother, formerly Magdalene Coffman, was a native of Virginia; and her father, Martin Coffman, a Baptist minister, was a native of Germany. Young Buell lost his mother and a sister, who died of cholera in 1834, when he was but four years old. At eight and a half he lost his father, and at nine was attacked with white swelling of the hip and thigh, afterward termed hip-disease. Hundreds of fragments of bone were thrown out by the disease, and the surgeon's knife was frequently used. While yet a cripple, he supported and educated himself, and laid up a little money. Having a very hard home after the death of his parents (his disease being the result of cruel treatment), he set out for himself, at an early date, barefoot and poorly clad, with not a friend in the world to help him. He started on Sunday, found employment on Monday, and was never afterward known to idle an hour. When not able to work, his books were closely attended to. He began teaching as early as possible, and being a successful teacher and a faithful hand, he always readily found employment. Some of his father's books (all botanic), fell into his hands; but being financially unable to purchase new books, he sought and obtained access to an allopathic library by entering the office and drug store of a practicing physician from whom he received constant instruction. Here young Buell spent his evenings, and all the time not taken up in teaching or labor; here, as a cripple and invalid generally, he saw his hardships; here he diligently applied himself to his studies, with an especial determination to rid himself of the terrible disease that afflicted him; here, after numerous experiments were made upon his own person, the crowning result was reached ; here he cured himself, and many others; here Buell's Magic Relief was compounded, and by its use his hip and thigh were so thoroughly cured that for twenty-five years not n single trace of the disease has existed, and no person unacquainted with the fact would now mistrust that Dr. Buell had ever been a cripple. Buell's Magic Relief had not yet exhausted its forces, but went forth conquering and to conquer. As a giant family medicine, it found its way into thousands of homes, and has relieved millions of aches and pains, being the best remedy in the world for both internal and external use.
In California, Colorado, and other mining districts, it proves itself to be the best remedy for that terrible disease called miner's colic. In cities it is pronounced the lest remedy for painter's colic, cholera, cholera morbus, cholera infantum, summer complaint, etc. In rural districts it is universally acknowledged the best remedy for colic, bilious colic, griping, cramps in the stomach or bowels, diarrhoea, fall dysentery, colds, sore throats, sore eyes, lame back, sprains, bruises, swellings, stings, and bites of insects, etc. It often cures fever and ague, and for that complaint known only by a few of one sex, accompanied by the most excruciating pains that human ever suffered, it is without a rival. Dr. Buell also manufactures other useful medicines, some of which have been the result of experiments upon himself. Buell's Sarsaparilla is used in diseases of the lungs and throat, for scrofula, and other diseases of the blood. Blotches and old sores are removed by its use, and for old constitutional taints of any loathsome disease, it has no equal. Buell's Healing Balm is one of the best liniments ever used on man or beast. Buell's family medicines have all proved a perfect success. Formerly living in one of the worst malarious districts, where the ravages of fever and ague often baffled the skill of the beat physicians, young Buell conceived the idea of experimenting in this direction. He selected from his father's books a root, a bark, and an herb, each a remedy separately for said disease. With these, in equal parts, he compounded a new remedy with which he never failed to cure, but it being botanic, he feared the displeasure of his preceptor. and started it on the sly, the secret being yet with himself. Before he reached the age of twenty-one he had acquired an enviable practice in this particular class of diseases, as well as diseases of the blood, which had been his special study.
In a large book published in Philadelphia, in 1873, we find Dr. A. W. Buell quoted as one of the leading homoeopathic physicians of the United States. He became popular as a physician by following epidemics, in which he was very successful, especially in dysentery, diphtheria, and scarlet fever. In after years he became acquainted with, studied, and now practices homeopathy. But as all his patent medicines belong to the botanic side of the house, he says but little about any particular school, refusing to practice whenever he can reasonably get rid of it, well knowing that Buell's Magic Relief alone is worth more to him on a rainy day than an entire practice in any school.
At the age of twenty-three he married Miss Harriet Minerva Thrall, of Hartford, Licking Co., Ohio, having ere then laid up enough money to pay for eleven village lots in Millersport, Ohio, also to make an hundred-dollar payment on a property in Licking County, where he first began housekeeping. He never hinted to his wife or her people that he had practiced or read medicine. They saw and used Buell's Magic Relief, but as to its origin or history they knew nothing.
Mrs. Buell having been an invalid for many years before marriage, and continuing so during life, required the almost constant attention of her husband. She died March 5, 1864, leaving her husband and three small children to mourn their loss, the youngest being two and a half years of age.
The doctor's property having become reduced to a small amount, he was now placed in the most trying circumstances of his life. He was advised to hunt permanent homes for his children, and give them away; but the doctor having himself been given away, and travelled the rugged thorny path so often trod by penniless orphans, he turned a deaf ear to every one.
When offers were made to take this or the other child, he would pleasantly reply, "When I have spent my last cent, and exhausted my strength and energy, if my children are then unable to care for themselves, I will thank you to assist me." Relying upon God and his own indomitable energy, he lost no time in decision or action. His children were boarded by the week, well fed, well clad, and sent to school, all supposing that the doctor's last cent would speedily come into the market, and that his iron will would soon be subdued. But hints, or assertions to that effect, moved him not; his ever ready reply was: "I have been young, and now an old, yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread." "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want," etc. The result is before the world, and when the doctor is now interrogated as to how he happened to succeed, he replies by referring to Joseph's corn and the widow's oil, both of which, however, were used; but when the doctor's youngest child set out in life for himself, not even the first cent of principal or interest of his original small capital had been touched.
