  • Public Utilities in Northwest Franklin County
    Public Utilities in Northwest Franklin County Telephone As early as November 1899, there was talk of telephone service for Hilliard. On that date The Franklin Telephone requested a franchise but it was denied on February 2, 1901. On March 11,1901 a franchise was given to the Hilliard West Jefferson Farmer's Mutual Telephone Company. In August 1904 the Central Union Telephone was given a franchise. This latter company became the Citizen Phone or Bell Phone. In 1920 both the Farmer's Exchange and the Bell Phone were operating here. Most merchants listed in their ads that they had both phones. This was bound to be frustrating. A person on one exchange, wanting to talk with a person on the other exchange, had to pay a toll, even though they might live just a few houses apart. Ohio Bell, which gives service to Hilliard today, was formed in 1921, and did away with this frustration. Location of the first offices of these companies is not definitely known except that it was in the home of the operator. It is known that there was an office on the second floor of a store building on the east side of Main Street, one lot south of the railroad. This office, in June 1916, was moved across the street into the home of William Wilcox, next to the old bank building. The office remained there until about 1935 when the dial system was installed and there was no need for a local switchboard operator. Some of the operators of these companies were: Elizabeth Rice, her daughter, Pearl; Jennie and Grace Tripp; Isabel Wilcox; Maude W.
