History of Noble County Ohio
John House, on Beaver Fork, also had an early distillery. Whisky came nearer being a legal tender than almost any other article except money, and the latter was very scarce. The price of whisky was from 25 to 37^ cents per gallon, and a gallon of whisky was the equiv- alent of a bushel of corn. Though whisky was almost universally used as a beverage, yet habitual intoxica- tion was rare. A man who would not offer to treat a neighbor who called at his house was at once set down as mean and stingy.

n 1812 John House and family came from Greene County, Pa., ac- companied by House's brother-in-law, Thomas Ball. They came with teams, 37 cutting their own road from Leather- wood Creek. James Eagon had set- tled in 1811 on the farm next below where House located. John House served as justice of the peace for eighteen years. Prior to this, Ed- ward Bell, who lived on Leatherwood Creek within the present limits of Guernsey County, had held the same oflSce for the township. John House built a log-mill upon the creek as earl}^ as 1816, and afterward erected a saw-mill. The grist-mill was after- ward twice rebuilt, and the last one erected' is still standing. Mr. House died in 1856. Nathan House, born in Greene County, Pa., in 1810, has lived in Beaver Township since 1812, and has a vivid recollection of the hardships and experiences of pioneer life.

It is related of John House, the early magistrate of the township, that he kept no docket, but recorded his transactions on slips of paper, which he stuck into the cracks in the walls of his dwelling. He Avas a very honest and worthy man — and the same may be said of his son, Nathan, who is still living.
