STRICKEN FROM THE PIONEER ROLL.
Death of the Venerable Smith BETTS, a Native of
Cincinnati.
Mr. Smith BETTS, who died last Saturday morning at 2
o'clock at the family residence, No. 28 Hopkins street, was
one of the oldest pioneers of this city. His father,
William BETTS, was born in New Jersey, near Raleigh.
He left that State in 1795, and emigrated as far West as
Brownsville, Pa. His intention was to proceed further
but he was deterred from his purpose on account of the
reported depredations of the Indians in the Western wilds.
William BETTS, cultivated a farm near Brownsville
until the year 1800, when he bartered it away for a
consideration of iron, whisky, and horses. He built
two or three flatboats, and steering his way down the Ohio
River, by a slow and tedious voyage reached Cincinnati,
which was then known by the name of Losantiville. His
first step in his new location was to purchase a large farm
from Mr. SYMMES, near Lebanon, O. Here he
settled with his family of twelve children, clearing the
land and tilling the soil. A plan cabin, with one door
and one window, formed their dwelling. In after days
of prosperity, William would often recount how he
used to shoot the wild turkeys, that were in great
abundance, through the pigeon hole aperture that was covered
with plain paper. But the title to this farm proved
defective, and Mr. SYMMES, in the honest style of
those pioneer days, returned the purchase money.
William BETTS now came back to Cincinnati, where his son
Smith, was born, July 3, 1806. He was a brick
manufacturer, and succeeded by thrift and enterprise in
accumulating a considerable estate. A peculiarity of
old William was that as fast as he made his money he
loaned it to a tavern keeper by the name of Joel WILLIAMS.
Joel was a great land owner, but he had no cash at
all, so that when William demanded the returned of
his loans, he was informed that in lieu of cash he might
have a farm on Indian Creek, near the Miami River. Wm.
BETTS was not pleased with the selection of land, and
finally a bargain was struck by which he was to become the
owner of a tract of land near the town. This farm is
now that portion of our city which extends from Chestnut to
Liberty and from Central avenue to Freeman, and had in those
days a special Indian name. William
subsequently made arrangements to purchase the site where
now stands the Cincinnati Hospital, but while negotiations
were pending he died, in May, 1815. He had twelve
children, one of his sons having been drowned in the Ohio
River when thirteen or fourteen years of age.
Smith BETTS, the subject of this obituary,
assisted his father at an early age in the occupation of
brickmaking, and when twenty-one years of age married a
Miss Anne Toy, who had been a resident of New Jersey,
but was living in Cincinnati a few years before her
marriage. From this alliance came five children,
Emily, Phoebe Anne, Joseph Wallace, Martha and Amanda.
All these children died in their infancy excepting Joseph
Wallace who departed this life August 11, 1879.
Mrs. BETTS, nee TOY, died in 1836. Her husband
carried on the manufacture of brick, and succeeded in
amassing a considerable fortune. In 1840 he retired
with a compency. From 1834 to 1835 the large paternal
estate, which had then grown into very valuable property,
was divided among the BETTS children, the sons
receiving all the real estate, and the daughter all the
cash. Smith BETTS built a small frame for a
dwelling in 1827, on exactly the same site where the present
family residence is located, and where he died. He
lived in the frame until 1853, and then substituted the
present house for it. In 1848 he married Cynthia A.
Young, a resident and native of Cincinnati. The
children from this marriage, who are living, are Helen B.
Jasiewicz, Stanley Smith BETTS, and Charles
BETTS.
Mr. Smith BETTS in his early days was a member of
the Presbyterian Church, though in after life he did not
affiliate himself with any particular denomination. He
was a prominent Mason of Cynthia Lodge, McMillan Chapter,
and was initiated into Odd Fellowship, though he never
participated actively in the business of the order. In
1870 he became afflicted with rheumatism, and in 1874
sustained an attack of partial paralysis, which crippled him
completely, so that for the past seven years he was not able
to be on his feet. Dr. Wm. Clendenm attended
him on his last illness. He was a man of strong will
and great determination. On Wednesday morning he was
determined to make an effort to walk about in his room, and
when he found his complete inability, he quietly remarked
that his time was come and that he was ready to die.
Of the original BETTS family of twelve children, six
of whom were sons, only one survives, Mr. Isaac BETTS,
on College Hill, who is in his seventy-third year. The
funeral services on tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock will be
conducted by the Rev. Mr. WHITE, pastor of the Poplar
Street Presbyterian Church. The Masons will attend and
bury him with full Masonic rites. |

OBITUARY NOTES:
Ex-Congressman
Benjamin Eggleston, of Cincinnati, Ohio,
died yesterday at the Walnut Street House in that city.
For three years past he had been incapacitated for business
by spinal affection, during which time he had resided with
his brother in Hocking County, Ohio. A sudden change
in his condition required special treatment, for which he
was taken a few days ago to Cincinnati. Mr.
Eggleston was born in Corinth, N. Y., Jan. 3, 1816.
He went when quite young to Cincinnati and engaged in
commercial pursuits. He served thirty years in the
Cincinnati Common Council. He was elected as a
republican to the Thirty-ninth and Fortieth Congresses,
served three terms in the Ohio State Senate and was always a
prominent republican worker. He was long the president
of the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce and for several years
the proprietor of the Times newspaper of the city. |

OBITUARY.
JUDGE
HENRY C. WHITMAN.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, Aug. 20 - Judge Henry C. Whitman
died at his home in this city to-day. Judge Whitman
was distinguished for his legal attainments not less than
for his high personal character and his pure life. In
1853, just after the adoption of the present constitution of
Ohio, he was a judge of the courts, and he traveled over the
district which included the counties adjacent to Fairfield
County. Over a quarter of a century ago he removed to
Cincinnati, where to the time of his last illness he was
engaged in the practice of the law. His early home was
Lancaster, Ohio, where he was the young associate and friend
of the great legal stars that clustered there a third of a
century ago, comprising Thomas Ewing, Sr.,
Hocking Hunter, and Henry Stanberry.
He was a personal acquaintance and admirer of Henry
Clay and had a legal acquaintance with
Edwin M. Stanton, and was the intimate friend of
Judge Allen G. Thurman. In fact, few
men were better known than he to the Ohio bar during his
early manhood. He was a little over 70 years old at
the time of his death. |
