The entire labor of collecting material for this work ww placed on me1>y this Committee,.and when completed, to be pre­ sented to them for their approval or rejection. In this work I have not satisfied myself in many respects, ler I have reason to think I have failed in obtaining a great deal of interesting matter that should have a place in this volume, and la what I have obtained I know there are many unpleasant but unto- tentional mistakes, especially in some ofthe names and date* af the first settlers. Though I obtained the most of them from to* oldest inhabitants, yet I found they could not tell exactly the year • of their immigration to this country, (or some of them, at least,) hence they are responsible for what inaccuracies may appear la these pages. I have done all I could to arrive at the exact fact*. All I, or any one else could expect under the circumstances was aa approximation to accuracy. To those gentlemen who have kindly favored me with their contributions for this work I tender my sincere thanks for their timely aid in furnishing so much valuable matter tor this work. Tour articles, gentlemen, will appear in these pages and they will •peak for themselves, and will present a bettor tribute to the menv ery ef their authors than anything I could say; so, wishing each of yea a long and happy life, I bid you gooJOSHUd bye. A ANTRIM. HISTOE/Y OF CHAMPAIGN COUNTY. Chnmpaign County was formed from Green and Franklin, March 1,1805, and originally comprised the Counties of Clark and Logan. The Seat of Justice was originally fixed at Springfield, to Clark County, and the first Courts were held in the house or George Fithian. It is said it was named from its appearance, it being a level, open country. Urbana, the Seat of Justice, was laid out to the year 1805, by Col. Win. Ward, formerly of Greenbrier County, Virginia. It is said by some that Mr. Ward named the town from the word Urbanity, but I think it is quite likely he named it from an old Roman custom of dividing their people into dlflbreot classes—one class, tho Plebeians, nnd this again divided into two classes—Plebs Rustica nnd Plebs Urbana. The Plebs llustioa live* in the rural districts and were farmers, whilo the Plebs Urban* lived in villages nnd were mechanics and artisans. George Fithian opened the first tavern in a log cabin on South Main street, formerly the residence of Wm. Thomas; but I think it is now owned by the Methodist Episcopal Church, nnd they In­ tend to improve it and make n parsonage of it. Samuel McCord opened a Dry Goods und Grocery Store in the same cabin in the same year, (March, 180(1.) The first house covered with shingles was a house occupied by McDonald as a store room, on tho north corner of Publio Square, west of North Main street. For a full and satisfactory description of Urbana and its sur- • CHAMPAIGN AND voondlngs, see Judge Patrick's able, minute and satisfactory his­ tory, found in the body of this work, in which he has placed me lender many obligations, nnd also done himself credit, and the city •f Urbana, of which he writes. I find in Howe's History of Ohio the names of a few of the first settlers in Urbana and also in the rural districts, and although most ofthe names found in his history will be found in the body •f this work, for fear some valuable names may be overlooked 1 here transcribe them.; But let the reader be assured that most of -those honored and venerated names will appear in these pages." But before I proceed to record those names I wish to make a remark or two in regard to the first settlers of this county. In vain have I mads inquiry of the oldest living pioneers ns to the first white man that settled here. Likewise the public records have keen searched with the same unsatisfactory results. 'It may seem to some a matter of very little consequence who first settled a coun­ try, but we find people in all ages disposed to attach very great Importance to so apparently trifl'.-ig a circumstance. The Cartha­ ginians have their Dido, the Greeks their Cecrops, and the Romans their Romulus: so In our own country William Penn settled Penn­ sylvania; Boone, Kentucky, Ac; and in most of the counties of this Afcate the first settlers are known, and the date of their settlement. I find to a very able and interesting document, furnished me for this work by an ohl and respected pioneer, Mr. Arrowsmith, the same of Wm. Owens, who, he says, came to this county in the year 1797 or 1798. I think it not unlikely that ho was the first *fp£lte man that made this county his home. ift now commence the list of names: Joseph C. Vance, Thos. and WA. W. Pearce, George Fithian, Sam'l McCord, Zeph. Luse, Benj. Boolittle, George and Andrew Ward, Win. II. Fyffe, Wm. and John Glenn, Frederick Ambrose, John Reynolds and Sam'l Gibbs. Those living in the country—Jacob Minturn, Henry and Jacob 'Vaninetre,Nathaniel Cartmell, Justice Jones, Felix Rock, Thomas Anderson, Abner Barret, Thomas Penrce, Benj. and Wm. Cheney, Matthew and Charles Stuart, Parker Sullivan, John Logan, John Thomas, John Runyjn, John Lafforty, John Owens, John Taylor, John Guttridge, Tohn Cartmell, John Dawson, John Pence, Jona- gjgih Long, Rennet Taber, Nathan Fitch, Robert Nowce, Jacob Hum and Arthur Thomas. ^Joseph Oi Vance was the father of Ex-Governor Vance, and was LOGAN COUNTIES. T the first Clerk of the Court in this County. Capt. Arthur Thomas, whose name Is in the above lint, lived on King's Creek, about three miles North of Urbana. He wns ordered to Fort Findlay with his Company, to guard thepubllc stores at that place, nnd on their return they encamped at the Big Spring near un old Indian town called Solomon's Town, about seven miles north of Bellefontaine. Their horses having strayed away In the night, he nnd his son went in pursuit of them. When they had got some distance from the encampment they were discovered by tho Indians, who attacked them with an overpowering force and they were killed and scalped and left dead on the spot. Urbana was a frontier town during the war 1812. Hull's army was quartered here the same year, before taking up their line of march for Detroit. In fact, it was a place of general rendezvous for the troops starting for the defense of our northern frontier. They were encamped in tho eastern part of the city, nnd here lie the bodies of many brave soldiers mingled with their mother dust, and no monument to mark the place where they rest, nor to tell the story of their sufferings; even their names have perished with them. All we can do now is to drop u tear over their sleeping dust and say, "Here lie in peaceful slumbers the bravo defenders! of our once frontier homes." In penning these sketches, I find mys'.df very much in tho con­ dition of the early pioneer who hud to bla/.e his way through a dense forest to find his way from one place to another. Fortunately for me, however, others have preceded me and blitzed the way to some extent for me. And to none, perhaps, am I under moreofH* gations than to Mr. Howe, in bis History of Ohio; nnd ho' is not entirely reliable, for I have been obliged to makosome corrections in bis statements of facts in the history of this country. For in­ stance, the time of settlement of Logan County, -mlting it in the year 1806, when in fact it was settled in the yen-1801. Alio, the names ofthe first settlers. Of course he had to rely on others for information, and they did not know; but in the main, however, I believe he is correct. I now resume my sketch of Urbana: On the corner of Publie Square and North Main street—now McDonald's Corner, but- in the war of 1812 called Doolittle's Tavern—were Hie headquarters of Governor Meigs. On the opposite" corner—now Armstrong's Bank—stood a two-story brick house, and on the end fronting tho * CHAMPAIGN AND .fkjoare, could be seen the date of its ercction-*-18U. This was oo- aspied for many years by D. A T. M. Gwynneasa store-room.

Horton 2019 ABSTRACT Working Against Racism from White Subject Positions: White Anti-Racism, New Abolitionism & Intersectional Anti-White Irish Diasporic Nationalism by Matthew W. Horton Doctor of Philosophy in Education and the Designated Emphasis in Critical Theory University of California, Berkeley Professor Na’ilah Nasir, Chair This dissertation is an intervention into Critical Whiteness Studies, an ‘additional movement’ to Ethnic Studies and Critical Race Theory. It systematically analyzes key contradictions in working against racism from a white subject positions under post-Civil Rights Movement liberal color-blind white hegemony and "Black Power" counter-hegemony through a critical assessment of two major competing projects in theory and practice: white anti-racism [Part 1] and New Abolitionism [Part 2]. I argue that while white anti-racism is eminently practical, its efforts to hegemonically rearticulate white are overly optimistic, tend toward renaturalizing whiteness, and are problematically dependent on collaboration with people of color. I further argue that while New Abolitionism has popularized and advanced an alternative approach to whiteness which understands whiteness as ‘nothing but oppressive and false’ and seeks to ‘abolish the white race’, its ultimately class-centered conceptualization of race and idealization of militant nonconformity has failed to realize effective practice.

  • The Case of J Effrey Dah M Er
    5 THE CASE OF J EFFREY DAH M ER OVERVIEW This chapter specifically addresses the highly publicized case of Jeffrey Dahmer, a serial lust murderer responsible for the death and mutilation of 17 young men. In an attempt to create a working profile, several factors linked to Dahmer's social and family history, sexuality, education, employment status, fantasy system, and criminality are discussed. In Chapter 6, this developmental portrait is linked to the three principal theoretical models discussed within Chapters 3 and 4. Specifically, Chapter 6 explores what insights the motivational, trauma control, and integrative paraphilic typologies offer in their accounts of Jeffrey Dahmer's criminal behavior. This exercise is particularly useful since the goal is to ascertain the extent to which each conceptual schema advances our understanding of serial sexual homicide (i.e., lust murder) and those persons who commit this act. This chapter is divided into two sections. First, several methodological issues germane to our overall assessment of Jeffrey Dahmer are delineated. Given that our approach emphasizes the case study investigatory strategy, a number of remarks relevant to this line of analysis are warranted. Some observations regard- ing the elements of the case study method are specified, several justifications for the selection of a qualitative approach are outlined, and a description of the data is supplied. Second, both historical and biographical information concerning Dahmer's life is provided. These data are sequenced chronologically, commencing with his early childhood development and moving all the way to his violent fantasies, criminal conduct, and paraphilic behaviors. Profiling his case in this way allows 67 68 THE PSYCHOLOGY OF LUST MURDER the reader to assess the merits of the general organization and facilitates a more comprehensive and seamless evaluation within the application work undertaken in Chapter 6.

  • Seneca County History
    A History of Seneca County Until About 1830 A Talk by Seneca County Historian Walt Gable for the Twentieth Century Club of Ovid on February 9, 2009 Seneca County was established on March 24, 1804, by action of the NYS Legislature and Governor, by separating the western part of Cayuga County off as a new Seneca County. At the time of its creation, Seneca County stretched from Lake Ontario to south of Ithaca. Today, Seneca County is smaller and is often referred to as the “County Between the Lakes.” The present Finger Lakes were formed after the retreat of the latest glacier, about 10,000 years ago. Glaciers had made steep valley walls to the rivers that ran basically north-south. Glacial debris dammed up these rivers at their northern ends. Streams flowing into these rivers with the steep valley walls rapidly cut into the soft shales of the hillsides formed the present-day gorges that most of these streams have with in one mile of Cayuga and Seneca lakes. A. Before European American Settlement Before the Revolutionary War, the area now covered by Seneca County was not settled by whites (European Americans). As early as 3500 B.C., we have the so-called Lamoka culture, based on evidence found at Tyrone in Schuyler County, Frontenac Island in Cayuga Lake and the Lawson Site in northern Seneca County. Significantly, Frontenac Island is the only island in the Finger Lakes. Excavations there in 1939-40 by William Ritchie of the Rochester Museum, suggest that the people of the Lamoka culture used this one-acre island for fishing and hunting, had the knowledge of use of fire, and used such musical instruments as flutes and whistles.1 The Iroquois Confederacy was founded in the 16th century in what is now central New York State.2 Our present Seneca County was the home of the Cayuga and Seneca Indians, two of the six tribes making up this Iroquois Confederacy.

Despite the difference in their criminal acts, sexual serial killers and pedophiles have similar characteristics. Biological, environmental and psychological theories of criminal behavior were studied which illustrated their significance to how a person can choose to commit a crime. The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a presence or absence within multiple forms of childhood trauma experienced between the sexual serial killer and pedophile.

DEGENERATE GERMANY BY HENRY DE HALSALLE av a Tror (Lysi.ie Oratioaes. TWENTIETH THOUSAND. PUBLISHED AT 8, ESSEX STREET, STRAND, BY T. WERNER LAURIE, LTD. Us AUTHOR'S PREFACE IT is to be feared that of the facts set forth in this volume " many " are of a distinctly unpleasant nature, so unpleasant that the writer would fain have omitted them. But had he done so he would have failed to substantiate his case i.e., that the German people are undeniably a degenerate race, if not the most degenerate race in Europe. Moreover, the writer contends that these un- wholesome facts (taken largely from German sources), nauseous as they may be, demand to be placed on record in a British publica- tion. Further, he believes such facts cannot be too widely known, and that their knowledge will be of value in combating the pre- " " posterous and dangerous peace ideas unfortunately held in various quarters in Great Britain : For instance, among those ill-informed, emasculated individuals styling themselves the " Union of Democratic Control." Also the writer would commend a perusal of the statistics in reference to German vice and crime contained herein to those of our politicians (and they are many) totally with the mental and moral condition of the unacquainted " " German people. Recognizing the adult character of many of the statements and facts recorded in this book the writer thought it best to obtain responsible opinion as to whether such statements and facts should be made public, and he therefore approached Mr.

  • Theoretical Explanations 4 Sexual Homicide O
    Notes 2 Sexual Homicide Offending: Offender Classifications 1 . The victims of the non-serial SHOs were 89% female and 8% male. The remaining 3% of the victims were murdered by serial SHOs whose victims included both females and males. 3 Sexual Homicide Offending: Theoretical Explanations 1 . Although Hickey’s (1997, 2002) trauma-control model initially offers a theo- retical explanation for serial murder, this model can also be applied to the theoretical study of sexual homicide, particularly serial sexual homicide. 4 Sexual Homicide Offending: In Search of a Criminological Explanation 1 . The potential of other mainstream criminological theories, such as self-control, social bonding, strain, and social disorganization, to explain the offending perspective of sexual homicide, although not examined in this work, should not be overlooked. 2 . Proponents of theoretical integration argue that this method reduces the number of theories and offers a more powerful explanation of crime and delin- quency. There are scholars (e.g., Hirschi, 1979, 1989; Short, 1979) who believe in combining two or more theories. However, is this either an undesirable goal or a formidable task (Bernard & Snipes, 1996)? Hirschi (1979), for example, argue that most theories are contradictory in nature and their assumptions are incompatible. Theories can only be integrated if they are basically arguing the same thing. Integration may ultimately misrepresent individual theories (Hirschi, 1989). 5 Sexual Homicide Offending: Toward an Integrative Theoretical Explanation 1 . Homicidal sexual offenders (HSOs), sexual homicide offenders (SHOs), sexual murderers, and sex killers are used interchangeably in referring to the same group of sexual offenders – those who sexually killed their victim.
