Historical Notes

Hide Details Note: The first settlement in Harrison Township was made in 1806. Among the early settlers was James McCall. In 1835 James taught a school composed of about twenty-five scholars, in an old log house owned by him, and from which he had recently removed his family to a better residence. It was localed on Clay Lick, and furnished with seats made of small logs split in halves, and legs inserted in the ends. The first building erected for school purposes was the Smith school house, in 1830.

In 1831 the Rev. John Strait, a Baptist minister, preached the Gospel at the houses of different citizens along Clay Lick creek. He was a man who accomplished much good, and was very highly respected in the community. Reverend Strait died at the advanced age of 104 years and 3 months. His habits through life were such that he was quite vigorous in his old age. Upon his one-hundredth birthday he preached a sermon at the McCall school house, on Clay Lick, which made a lasting impression on the minds of the large number who assembled to listen to him. His chosen text was, "I am the way." In 1833 he organized a Baptist society at the residence of John Boster on Big Bull Skin creek. Among the first members were Andrew Kerr and Martha McCall ‎(& others)‎.
