GOSHEN TOWNSHIP. 525 Xolomon WiZk:i~,so~z, born in North Ca~olina in 1S01, inovecl to Ohio in ISOG, m,zrried Miss Ray in 1S2S, moved to Essex to\\-nship in 1849, where he died April 2, 1885. His grandfather was a native of Ireland. Tlto/us Ilj'1~72, born in Virginia in 1801, married in IS%, and the stnne year settled at Peoria, came to Stark county in 1834, ailcl clied at his son's home (Perry Winn), October 12, 1879. @/- & CI-IAPTEZX SIX.

With the esception of the eastern sections, broken by Indian wee!;, the surface is just sofiicjently ~*olling to meet the deslres of the ;~gricalturalist.. Coal of superior tloality underlies the tlo\vnsl~ip, hut the industry has not been ~lerelopecl to any extent. Tllere are n few prairie tracts, and in the neighborlioocl of Walnut creek, a fertile v;~llejr. The streams lino\~~n as Indian creelr uncl W;~ln~it creelr, with numerous rivulets, course throug11 the to\\.nsliip ; the Rock Islancl L! Paci fic r;~ilroatl runs allnost enst antl \vest througll its center ; the farms and Earn)-l~ousesl)eal< of taste ancl thrift, and altogether the 11ul)py name of Goshen is traly aplrlicable. Lafayette, the only village in the to~r~nship, is a thri~ing business place, with a pol~ulntion 1,oi~tlering on 350. In 1880 its population was 265, and that of the to\lrnsll ill, including the village, 1.198.
