HISTORY OF ERIE COUNTY 341 into grapes, and this was done by old settlers. The first move in the direction of increasing the number of producers was made in that year, when some intelligent Germans who had come from the wine districts of the old world found employment on the island. They began to see the possibilities of the future, and desired to buy land for grape culture. Five acres were bought from Mr. Addison Kelley for $50 an acre, and when he was remonstrated with on the exhorbitant price at which he valued his land he replied that he should sell the next higher, and would only sell five acres to the same individual. Within *& few days he sold five acres for $60 an acre, and from that to $75, $100 and $125 was quickly reached. The grape fever became more wide-spread, and as yet there were no checks to the progress of the business, for rot, late frosts and other evils Avere unknown for eighteen years. In 1862, after a successful beginning, the rot appeared for the first time. THE KELLEY 'S ISLAND AND SANDUSKY CABLE COMPLETED On the afternoon of July 8, 1875, the main shore land line of the Kelley's Island and Sandusky Cable Company was attached to an instrument in the Atlantic & Pacific Telegraph office in this city and the click of the instrument soon announced $hat the cable was' in working order. Mayor Daniel sent the following message to the island: . "Sandusky, July 8, 1875. "To THE CITIZENS OP KELLEY'S ISLAND: "AHOAV me to congratulate you upon your enterprise in opening direct communication betAveen Kelley's Island and Sandusky by successfully laying a submarine cable in Lake Erie by which we shall be able to be more closely connected, and as the cable reaches from one point to the other without a stop, thereby binding the two together, may it also bring the people of the Island and Sandusky into closer relations and make them if possible, still more friendly in the future than they have been in the past. "Yours respectfully, "GEO. DANIEL, Mayor." The folloAving reply was then received from Mr. Erastus Huntington of Kelley's Island who is secretary and treasurer of the company: "Kelleys Island, July 8. "GEO. DANIEL, Mayor of Sandusky: "Your congratulatory dispatch to the citizens of Kelley's Island is received. In behalf of our citizens allow me to thank you for your kind wishes, and, as the people of Sandusky united with us in buying and laying our cable, so may we always be united as one in the future, and may our interests be united in a bond of union as perfect as our cable. "ERASTUS HUNTINGTON, "Sec'y and Treas. K. I. & S. C Co."
342 HISTORY OF ERIE COUNTY Norman Kelley used to say that Kelley's Island was originally inhabited by rattlesnakes, that the hogs came and ate the rattlesnakes, then the Irish came and ate the hogs, then the Germans came and drove out the Irish. It is true that all that is left of the Kelleys on the island is the name they gave it. In the lapse of time the island has developed into a summer resort with an increasing patronage and has developed a limestone business of large proportions. Its population has increased and it is one of the most beautiful spots in Lake Erie.
