community affairs, donated a quarter acre lot for the first Harrison Co Courthouse, 21 Feb 1787, on
which five courthouses have been built since, but the first one is commemorated in the entryway of the

courthouse rested on stone pillars built 8 feet above the ground, and was entered by a wood ladder or
