Don and anyone interested, Don't mind looking it up at all. One of these days soon I am going to get a scanner. "Monroe Furnace was located in Section 28 of Jefferson township. The company was organized in 1854 by John and Isaac Peters and John Campbell. Monroe was the largest charcoal furnace in the Haning rock iron Region having a capacity of 20 tons per day. This "enormous" tonnage provoked English ironmasters to send agents to Monroe to see how so much iron could be produced in a single furnace. It operated steadily and successfully until 1866 when John Campbell was joined by Thomas McGoverey, Wm. M. Bolles, James Y. Gordon and P. S. Iams in a reorganization. " "The new owners continued to operate the plant with success until 1882 when it was closed and abandoned." That is all the information that it covers.[There is a photo in the book]. I noticed the Iams name and wonder if the folks who have the Iams pet food company in Dayton Ohio are any relation. June J
