Patten late of Marion county, now a resident of what was formerly historic Tammany street now University avenue, in Delaware was unable to secure the mayorality nomination at the hands of the republicans, on September 19 1905. Too bad. He was as good a man as any before the convention, besides, having been a soldier. Rev. J. J. Halliday, a Delaware boy, now a Minister of the M. E. persuasion in your city, I see has been recaptured at the recent session of the Central Ohio M. E. Conference, by your people for another year. Young Halliday is deserving of this for he has done good work in your vicinity. On his mother's side he belongs to some of Delaware's oldest and best residents. His great grand-father, Wilder Joy, an old-time Methodist was among the early class leaders in that church, a good citizen and a good farmer. He was one of the fathers of what is now the famed Ohio Wesleyan University founded in Sept. 1843, under such inauspicious circumstances. His grand-father, Hon. Thos. F. Joy, an early graduate, was ever an honest, able, esteemed gentleman, always ready with tongue, pen or money to advance Delaware's best interests. Hon. Charles Swietser the first local Congressman Delaware County ever had was always a warm friend of your place when it was yet the village of Middletown and used his best endeavors to get your leading old-time moneyed men interested in the project of building a ship canal down the Scioto to the Franklin county line, and then have Columbus people meet it by extending the arm of the canal there about 12 miles northward; his meritorious ideas met with but little response from your people, they regarding it, seemingly, as very visionary. Your county fair for 1905 seems to have compared most favorably with those of the long ago, which beat the band. The writer enjoyed a number in the 50's in which the general display was immense, and the crowds in attendance felt it good to be there and see the sights. Our city was quite well represented last week at Marion. I wonder what relationship J. A. Knapp, the president of the association sustains to Russel Knapp, the founder of the Marion Mirror or to his brother John R. Knapp Jr. under whom the writer received his first instructions in type sticking, commencing on June 1 1848. Is he a grandson of Russel? I remember at the time of his death he left two little boys, who lived with their grand-father, John R. Knapp Sr. Russel and John R. Jr. were both able writers and strong Democrats. John R. Knapp Sr. was Post Master at Marion during the administration of James Knox Polk 1845-1849. John R. Jr. during the session of the Ohio Legislature in the winter of 1848-9! , when there was an equal division between the Democrats and Whigs and a couple of Free Soilers held the balance of power was elected Chief Clerk of the Senate on the 118th ballot. He was also Quartermaster of the old Fourth O. V. I. Regiment part of the time during the Rebellion. He died in Washington City a few years since and the remains here brought to Marion for Interment.
