The Reverend James Kilbourn, their leader, was a very remarkable man. He was a farmer, mechanic, mathematician, business man, soldier and clergyman. The Reverend Kilbourn and his father-in-law, John Fitch, drew the first map of Ohio. If you go down to the Ohio State museum you will see that John Fitch also made the first model steam engine. By this invention a boat was first propelled by steam July 26, 1786, thus making possible the steam boat. You might also like to know how Worthington got its name. It was named after Thomas Worthington who later became the governor of Ohio. It has often been in- correctly reported that the name was selected for a city in Connecticut or for an older district in England. However the name of Thomas Worthington provided the name also for the village. One of the first things the settlers did was to establish a school. This school was housed in a log cabin which was also used for church services and recreation. The teacher boarded in different homes in the community during the school year and this was considered as part of the pay for the teacher.

ETVCNING STREET Maybe some of you would be interested in seeing the original plat of Worthington. Perhaps you will be able to pick out the lot on which you are now living. You will note that some of the street names have changed but that the basic plan was carried out to the letter. 8 7 9 1 o m 23 xS 26 Mo 3 9 NORTH 6 5 II U 22 ai 21 as - Jg— 37 4 I 56 57 76 75 4 2 55 5S 74 73 nftRBLE 12 70 7 I STRte 77 78 96 97 I W 79 So 9 5 98 III 81 82 83 2 11 4 i a. 8 107 1 29 130 1 44 143 145 146 160 159 STREET 43 44 5M 53 59 fe o 4 3 13 14 ao 19 29 30 36 35 3 35 45 5a 6 I A 4 6 5 S3 D STREET 69 8-4 93 99 loo HO 109 BERLIN MS II 6 26 105 1 31 132 143. 14 I 14 7 15 157 Soul rH co —I 37 m n 6 92. )OI I O s «4 91 I 61 107 Street STftCeT 2 1 15 16 18 17 3 1 30. 34 33 H 7 50 63 6? 67 48 49 6M 66 65 85 86 90 03 106 «7 S3 89 IOM 05 1 17 12 1 i b 1 33 1 3M 1 40 1 3R 1 49 150 15 6 1 5 S 119 lao I22j I2i 135 136 138 137 151 ')S2 154 1 53 JAMES K1LBOURNE THOMAS T.

Above is an artist's conception of the first school in Worthington. Little in the way of supplies was to be had and bad weather cut down considerably on attendance. 1810
