They traveled by flatboat to Cincinnati with their four children in 1827.The family moved to College Hill in August 1853. Cist became widely known as an author, newspaperpublisher and editor. He took several census’ of Cincinnati and his Cincinnati in... statistical basedanthologies still provide us with information about that time. He published the Western GeneralAdvertiser as well as Cincinnati Miscellany.Cist was active in promoting cottonseed, a worthless by-product of the South’s cotton trade. Heurged that cottonseed be processed and the forthcoming oil bleached, to better resemble olive oil. Cottonmeal and oil had a bright future that some growers in the South failed to see. In part, Cist’s urgings andwritings and the river boat trade made Cincinnati one of the leading centers for manufacturing crudecottonseed oil. Procter & Gamble introduced Ivory Soap in 1878, which used cottonseed oil. Years later,Crisco, would be another leading product made from cottonseed oil. Cist died Sept. 5, 1869.

Next to it was a white frame housethat was the home of Frank Cist.Henry’s daughter, Bertha A. Cist, was the last of the Cist family in Cincinnati. She died in 1966. Shewas also the great-granddaughter of Thomas Morris, one of the first U. S. Senators from Ohio.The Cist house is at 5752 Belmont Avenue. Many years later it was one of the College Hill homes ofthe Flannigan family. The Cist’s owned most of the property on the east side of Hamilton Avenue fromNorthside to College Hill.Elias Compton was born 1787 in New Jersey and settled in Mt. Healthy in 1817, coming in a wagontrain from Rosemont, New Jersey and down the Ohio River by flatboat. Elias was a cousin of Jacob R.Compton. He was a shoemaker and a farmer.
