Cincinnati’s First Murder

celebrated their Thanksgiving-Christ
mas Day together. Both couples, first
in the settlement, had married in
1790.
In Marietta, little larger, though
nearly a year older than Cincinnati,
the observance was about the same,
though less detailed accounts
available. Marietta then had a
church and Cincinnati as yet
none. And, Marietta still being
capital of the Northwest Territory,

A few years later, July 31, 1794,
acting Governor of the Northwest
Territory Winthrop Sargent divorced
Thanksgiving from Christmas and
fixed Thanksgiving Day as Tuesday,
August 14 that year. Because of the
devastating Indian wars just finished
the day was to be a day of fasting—
pretty hard on the Thanksgiving
Dinner table. On that day too, any
one “engaged in menial labour was
forbidden to work.”
Lincoln Sets Date
Thus the day was kicked about un
til Abraham Lincoln in 1864 set the
day as the fourth Thursday in No
vember. Lincoln had been influenced
in doing so by editorials by Mrs.
Sarah Josephus Hale, editor of
“Godey’s Ladies Book” which had
been advocating a definite arrange
ment since September, 1863.
Incidentally, the only viands on the
groaning Thanksgiving dinner table
of pioneer times were the stewed
pumpkin, sauce from cranberries in
the woods, and elderberry wine,
home-made.
The wild turkey, which w’ould be
so appetizing today, was a drug on
the market and venison and bear
steaks were everyday fare. Wild
turkeys sold in the first settlement
stores at two for 89 cents and venison
