Description:
Located In the
south
western
corner
of the state, th e county of Hamilton borders both Indiana and Kentucky
city of Cincinnati is the county
seat
of Hamilton County, which was formed In 1790. This database is a transc
of a city directory originally published In 1890. In addition to providing the resident s name, it provides thei
address and occupational Information. It includes over 160,000 names, mostly heads of households. For the
researcher of ancestors from
south
western Ohio,
this
can be an
extremely
valuable collection.
Ex tended Descr ip ti on:
Citydirectories are primarilyuseful for locating people in a particular place and time. They can tell you gene
where an ancestor lived and give an exact location for census years. They
are
also useful for linkage with so
o th e r t h an c e n s u s e s .
There are usually several parts to a city directory. The section of most Interest to the genealogist, of course
alphabetical listing of names, for it is there
that
you may find your ancestor.
Whenever you use a directory, however, it is important to refer to the page showing abbreviations used in t
alphabetical section of the directory, usually following the name in each entry. Some abbreviations are quit
common, such as h for home or r, indicating residence. There may even be a subtle distinction between r
fo
residents who
are related to the homeowner
and
b
for
boarders who
are not related.
Some city directories list adult children who lived with their parents but were working or going to school.
Lo
persons of the same surname residing at the same address. If analyzed and interpreted properly, these anm
directories can tell you (by implication) which children belong to which household, when they married and s
families of their own, and when they established themselves in business. In cases where specific occupation
given, you
can search
records
pertinent

LIFE
OF
UNUSUAL I N T E RE S T
Mrs. Jane Wales Nicholson today celebrates herone-hundredth birthday
anniversary
atherhome in
Broadway.
Owing to
Mrs.
Nicholson s
delicate health, there was no special
demonstration in
honor
of
her
day.
A
few familiar friends called during
the
afternoon
and
greeted
her
where
shesat
surrounded
by
loving
messages in
the
shape of
flowers,
gifts, and congratulatory notes. Mrs. Nicholson is a woman ofunusual
dainty and sweet personality.
Agift
highly prized was
a
solid
silver
loving cup
sent
by the
Indianapolis
Woman s Club. Mrs.
Nicholson
was
a
founder and
charter member of this literary
club, and has
kepther interest in itsmembers
and programs.
The
cup
is
plain um-shaped with three handles. At the base isengraved on one side the date 1806,
on
the
other
1906, midway
between
on one side the
club
monogram,
opposite
the name Jane
Nicholson.
The
College
Comer Club is anotherin which
Mrs.
Nicholson has taken a deepinterest, and club meetings havefrequently
been held atherhome, that
she
might enjoy thepapers. The Parlor Club
holds
an interest asherdaughter, Miss

founder,
and

Journey to Ohio Wilderness
Mrs. Nicholson s maiden
name
wasJane
Finley Wales.
Sheis the daughter of Isaac andRuth Welch
Wales,
and was bom in North Carolina Feb. 1, 1806. A descendant of generations of Quakers, shewas earlytaughtto
test all
things by the Inward Light, and to listen for the voice ofconscience .
She
was the second child in a
family
of
five, four girls and one boy. When she was
eight
years
old,
her maternal grandfather, Samuel Welch
decided thathe must remove his large family of twelve children from a slave state to a free state. Isaac Wales

had
just completed anew house and planted a
fine
orchard
and
disliked
leaving his
beautiful
farm for
an
Ohio
wilderness but
his
wife's extremely tender love for her father Samuel Welch turned the scale and Isaac Wales
sold his farm at a great sacrifice
They joined
the
Welch Colony. This was long before
the
day
of carriages,
but
the
grandfather and
grandmoAer
rode
in
a
small two wheeled vehicle called
a
gig and regarded as
luxurious
compared
with
the
^eat
white
covered wagons drawn by four horses which conveyed
the
other families. The memory of this
journey
from
Carolina
to
Ohio
is
still vivid in
Mrs.
Nicholson's
mind the
bells
on
the horses the finding
of
chestnuts on the way
up
Ae
Blue
Ridge Mountains
the
wild beauty
of
the scenery. Her
word pictures
of
this
trip
have charmed
her children
and
grandchildren for
many an hour.
Samuel
Welch
settled
in
the Miami Valley
in
southern
Ohio.
He
had
bought 1 200 acres ofexceedingly rich
but heavily timbered land enough for each child to have
a
farm.
Here Isaac
Wales began the heavy task
of
clearing the land. Sometime his little daughter saw
the
deer come out ofthe thick woods to asalt spring where
they drank. The Shawnee
Indians had
just left
that
part
of
Ohio and
there
were traces
of
their wigwams.
Quakers Payment
of
Muster Fine
The
second
year
saw
aclearing sufficiently laige to raise a few bushels oflye. The children
looked
forward
anxiously
to
white bread
Mrs.
Nicholson
remembers seeing
her
mother help winnow
the lye
which
was
then
put
away
until
it
could be taken to
a
distant mill to be ground.
In
the
mean
time an Officer
from
the Ohio State
Militia
came
to
collect the
musterfine .
The Quakers
protested against war
and neither
would
drill for
nor
countenance for
so
they were fined. These Officers took what they chose and made
their
own valuation.
In this
case
for
a
fine
of
perhaps 2.50, they took
the
whole crop
of
rye leaving not
a
grain. The
little
children were
bitterly disappointed to see
all
the crop go but they
heard
no
complaint
from either
father
ormother. Itwas a
matter ofconscience
and
they believed it
right
tosuffer in the good cause.
In 1830
Jane Finley Wales
was
married
to Valentine Nicholson since
deceased
adescendant of
early
English
Quakers. Ayounger sister Nancy was married at the
same
time
to
Thomas Butterworth.
The
ceremony was
that of the Friends Church
and
the meeting house was of
hewn
logs
in
the thick woods.
Often
in the past as
these
sisters
sat through
the
silent
meetings they
he^d
the
rare
sweet
note
of
the hermit
thrush. In
this
house
Elias Hicks had
on^
preached. His
earnest
conviction and
his
impassioned
words
had
earlier
divided
the
Society
ofFriends
into
Hicksites and Orthodox.
The
four young people in this double wedding were
Hicksites.
Underground Railway work
Very early in theirmarried life Mr. And
Mrs.
Nicholson
were
enlisted
in the anti-slavery work. Their
home
was
one ofa chain ofhospitable homes
stretching
from
the
Ohio River tothelakes-stations
on
the
underground railway
who's
trains
were mainly made
up by the
faithful Quakers.
A
nights
ride from
Cincinnati it
was afrequent occurance for
Mrs. Nicholson's
children
to
be
awakened
by
the midnight
arrival
ofa
carnage
load
of fugitive
slaves.
In
addition to her own family cares Mrs.
Nicholson
must provide for these
fnghtened
and always hungry men and women.
Perhaps
they
must be concealed for
a
time
from
the zealous
executors
of
the fugitive slave law
At this time the Anti-Slavery Society decided to hold one hundred
conventions
in
the
West. In the district
embracing southern Ohio
Mrs. Nicholson's
home
became
Ihe
headquarters
for the noted
anti slavery
lectures.
Mrs.
Nicholson has given
much
study
to
slavery in
all its
aspects, reading
every
book
and
pamphlet
obtainable.
During her entire life
there
has not been one worthy reform
without
Mrs.
Nicholson's
sympathy and support.
This
often
meant to her husband and
herself
sacrifice
and denial
quite
incomprehensible to
the young or
even

Boston Mass.
J an . 3 0, 1906
Dear
Mrs. Nicholson,
In two days you will have
reached your centennial birthday.
Letme
congratulate
you and
your
daughters that
you
have lived
solongand
well.
When
I
knew
you
both
more
than fifty years ago,
I can
hardly believe
thatI
am nearly eighty-one and that you will have passed your one-hundredth milestone when this letter reaches
you .
The world has grown
older and
I
hope better than
it was
when
we
were fighting
for
free
soil
and free speech
in
Ohio1850. Slavery is no longer an established institution. Thepeople have largely outgrown theirbeliefin
avenging Godandan eternal hell andthatour work for humanity draws to a
close.
Younger hands and
hearts
will take
up
and
carry on
the
reforms
which
still remain
to be
furthered.
I
am
glad
you have
fought a
good
fight
andthatyourdaughters stand beside you .
With
warmest regards in
which
my dearwifeLucy
Stone
wouldjoin if she were still with me, and with kind regards of my daughter Alice believe me dearMrs.
Nicholson ever your friend.
Henry Blackwell
Frank Sanbom
of
Concord write,
Andtoyourdearmother on her
hundredth
birthday say that she has
lived
to seegreater changes in
some ways
than we ever could have expected, even a half century ago. I hope the word is better than it was then. I know it
is
better
sofaras
your mother and
herfamily had the
power
to make it
so. Each century and every generation
hasitsownevils andits own blessings. We have done what we could, andperhaps we could have
done more
if weall had been bom North Carolina Quakers. They seem to have
accomplished
more than the rest of us.

Quakers Payment
of
^Muster
Fine
The secondyear saw a clearingsufficiently large to raise a few bushelsof rye. Thechildren looked
forward anxiously to white bread, Mrs.Nicholson remembers seeing hermother help winnow the rye
whichwasthenput awayuntil it couldbetaken to a distantmill to beground. In the meantimean
Officer from the Ohio State Militia came to collect the muster fine . The Quakers protested against war
and neither would drill for nor coimtenance for so they were fined. These Officers took what they chose
and made their own valuation. In this case for a fine ofperhaps 2.50, they tookthe whole crop of rye
leavingnot a grain.The little childrenwerebitterlydisappointed to see all the cropgo but they heard no
complaintfrom either fatherormother. It was a matter
of
conscienceand they believedit right to suffer
in the good cause.
In 1830Jane FinleyWaleswas married to ValentineNicholson, sincedeceased, a descendantofearly
English Quakers.A younger sisterNancy was married at the same time to ThomasButterworth. The
ceremonywas that of the FriendsChurchand the meetinghousewas
of
hewnlogs in the thickwoods.
Often in the past as these sisters sat through the silentmeetings theyheard the rare sweet note of the
hermit thrush. In this house Elias Hicks had once preached. His earnest conviction and his impassioned
words had earlier divided the Society ofFriends into Hicksites and Orthodox. The four young people in
this double wedding were Hicksites.
'^Underground Railway work
Veryearly in theirmarried lifeMr. And Mrs.Nicholsonwere enlisted in the anti-slaverywork. Their
homewas one ofa chain ofhospitable homes stretching from the OhioRiver to the lakes-stations on
the underground railway who's trains were mainlymade up by the faithful Quakers. A rughtsride
from Cincinnati it was a frequent occurance for Mrs. Nicholson's children to be awakened by the
midnight arrival ofa carriage load of fugitive slaves. In addition to her own family cares Mrs. Nicholson
must provide for these fiightened and always hungry men and women. Perhaps they must be concealed
for a time from the zealous executors of the fiigitive slave law.
At this time the Anti-Slavery Society decided to hold one hundred conventions in the West. In the
districtembracingsouthemOhio,
Ms.
Nicholson's home became the headquarters for the noted anti-

slavery lectures.
Mrs.
Nicholson has given much study
to
slavery
inall its
aspects, reading every book
and pamphlet obtainable.
During her entire
life
there has not been one worthy reform without Mrs.
Nicholson s
sympaAy and
support. This often
meant
to her husband and herself sacrifice and denial
quite incomprehensible
to the
youngor evenmiddle agedpeopleof today.
Perhaps
Mrs.
Nicholson s
Quaker heritage made her deeply
sympathetic
with the
very
earliest
movement for
the rights ofwomen.
Homekeeping and
home loving, she was
ever ready
to give the
support ofhername and influence to every movement for the welfare of humanity.
The
years
have taken rom her
countless
old fiiends and almost
all
her
many near relatives. Only
twelve
first cousins remain andthe sisterwho s wedding day washer own Mrs. Butterworth was unable to
take
the
long
journey
to observe the
century
anniversary.
Mrs. Butterworth
at
ninety-six still
writes long
and interesting letters and enjoys life.
Seven children were bom to Mr. And Mrs. Nicholson. Three are living in daily communicationwith
Mrs. NicholsonMrs. HoraceMcKay Miss Elizabeth and Miss Maiy E. Nicholson. Two
granddaughters are Mrs.
Brandt
Steele, and Maiy
I.
McKay and there are two great grand sons Horace
McKay Steele and Theodore Steele.

Anti Slavery Friends
Of those associatedwith her in her anti-slaverywork only two remain. Extractsare given fixim two
birthday letters.
Boston Mass. Jan. 30 1906
Dear Mrs. Nicholson
In
two days
you
will have reached
your
centennial birthday.
Letme
congratulate
youandyour
daughters
that
you have lived
so
long and well. When
I
knew you both more
than
fifty years ago,
I
can hardly
believe thatI am
nearly
eighty-one andthatyouwillhave passed yourone-hundredth milestone when
this letter reaches you.
The world
has
grown
older andI
hope
better
than
it
was when
we
were fighting
for
free
soil andfiree
speech in Ohio 1850. Slavery isno
longer
an
established institution.
The people have
largely
outgrown
theirbeliefin avenging God andanetemalhellandthatourworkfor humanity draws to a close.
Yoimger
hands and
hearts
will
take
upand
carry
onthe
reforms which
still
remain
tobe
furthered.
I am
glad
you
have fought
a
good fight and
that your daughters
stand
beside you.
With warmest
regards in
which
my
dear wife Lucy Stone
would joinifshewere still
with
me, andwith
kind regards
ofmy
daughter
Alice
believe medearMrs. Nicholson everyourfiiend.
Henry Blackwell
Frank
Sanbom of
Concord
write.
And
to
your dear mother
onher
hundredth birthday say
that
she has lived
to see
greater changes
in
some
ways than we
ever could have expected, even a halfcentury
ago.
I hope the word is better than it was
then. I knowit is betterso far as yourmotherandher family hadthe powerto make it so.Each century
and every
generation
has its own evils and itsownblessings. We have done what we could, and
perhaps
we could have done more if we all had b ee n
bom
North Carolina Quakers. They seem to have
accomplished more than the rest of us.

WORK^
ON
THE
UNWISDOM OF MEAT
EATING.
He
CALLED
MEAT
CARRION^
AND
OTHER
NAMES
DISGUSTING TO THE THO T
OF EATING MEAT^
SO
FROM THAT
DAY
TO THIS I HAVE
NOT
TASTED MEAT.
Once
after
an
illness
1
tho t
i t
would
taste
good
Sister
Susan
said; This desire will pass
if
you wait. and i t did.
When
I
met
John 0. Wattles^ heard him on diete t ic reform^ on
^Ioman s Rights and temperance as well as slavery I thot him a
great as well as a good man. Then came th is t er rib le
fever
in our

WERE

RIPE FOR THE FULFILLMENT OF OUR DREAM. FiVE
YEARS
LATER OUR FIRST BABY CAME. JoHN
H D
BEEN
12
YEARS WITHOUT
EATING
MEAT
I
SEVEN
So
OUR
CHILDREN
WERE BORN
WITH
NO WISH FOR MEAT
As
CHILDREN
THEY NEVER
ASKED
FOR IT We
DID
NOT
SAY
YOU MUST NOT
E T meat/' but told
THEM WHY IT W S
NOT
GOOD
FOR
NY OF
US. SOME
DOCTORS IN
LATER YEARS THOT
THE GIRLS
WOULD
BE STRONGER IF
THEY
ATE MEATy BUT ALL GAVE
IT
UP
AFTER A TRIAL NOT ONE LIKED IT OR
COULD
TAKE IT EXCEPT AS A
MEDICINE.
The children
were
given
milk and
cream^ but never butter. I
ONCE
LEFT THE TWO
OLDER GIRLS AT
Dr. WeLCH S
FOR THE DAY^ WHILE
WENT TO
