True Tales About Ohio (Concluded from page 1) roof. Opens Tavern The hunter brought his family from Deerfield, cleared a patch of ground around the cabin, planted it with corn and pumpkins and began to prosper. By 1803, when more settlers had come into the forest, he opened a tavern in one room of the cabin, his family living in the other. Later he built a log mill near it on East Fork. It was the first tavern and first mill in Clinton County and no more w’as it necessary for the settlers to grind their corn in hand mills or to take it on horseback to Deerfield or Waynesville for grinding. Besides Venison and bear steaks, corn meal and flour provided most of the settlers’ food. Sifted through hand made sieves, the finer flour was used for johnny cake and hoe-cake and the coarser meal for mush and corn pone. Pioneer hunting business was profitable and Van Meter’s primeval forest home provided him with a sort of “mint” all his own. There w’as little or no money in the early settlements and skins were legal tender there. All the frontier stores accepted pelts and whisky in lieu of money. Corn also was taken in by the early merchants. A bear skin was worth $1 a deer skin 50 cents a fox skin 50 cents a coon skin w’as a quarter and even a rabbit skin a five-penny-bit—six and one-fourth cents. And besides the value of the hides there were heavy bounties paid for the scalps of wolves, panthers and wildcats. Little is known of Van Meter’s family. Though no descendants now live in Clinton County and through more than a century the family strain has run out. It is known that Van Meter had fne son—-Abner. After his father’s death the water mill on East Fork was known as Abner Van Meter’s mill. The Van Meter settlement grew to be Morgantown then slumped awav and now is farmland. When the first early road was being blazed there, Van Meter met the surveyors with a jug of whisky and persuaded them to “bend the line” so it w’ould pass his tavern. When he died in 1813 he was buried beside that dirt road and later, when it was im proved and widened, it covered his grave. News Want Ads get results.
