Excerpt from History of Madison Township: Including Groveport and Canal Winchester, Franklin County, Ohio And praise be theirs who plan And fix the corner-stone Oi house or fane devote to God or man, N ot for themselves alone. Not for themselves alone, The Pilgrim Fathers of the Western Wood, Not only for themselves and for their own, Came hither planting in heroic mood The seeds of civil - graced society, Repeating their New England by the sea In the green wilderness. From church and school, with church and school they came. To kindle here their consecrated flame With the high passion for humanity, The largest light, the amplest liberty. (no man a slave unless himself enthrall (the tree of knowledge no forbidden tree, ) F or eager - seeking youth, With priceless opportunity for all, (the tree of knowledg no forbidden tree, ) Free speech and conscience free. Honor and praise no less But theirs, who in the mighty forest, then The haunt of savage men, And tenanted by ravening beasts of prey Only less herce than they, The fever - chill, the hunger - pang they bore, Dangers of day and darkness at their door) Abode, and in the panther - startled shade The deep foundations of an empire laid. - john james piatt. The conception of this work dates back some twelve years, when the writer was persuaded to prepare a condensed narrative history of Madison township, to go into Captain A. E. Lee's History of Columbus, Ohio. Later plans suggested the publication in separate form, and this volume is the result. To compile a history a century after the first settlement was made is no easy task, especially so when the time required must be snatched from a busy life. Three generations have lived and gone to the great beyond since then. Not only has the wolf, the bear, the deer, the wild-turkey, the Indian, the pioneer cabin, and all the associations of those good old days gone forever from view, but even the pioneers themselves are all gone - not one remains to tell the story of the hardships endured in their solitary lives in the great woods. Very few even of those who had the privilege of hearing from the first settlers' own lips the story of their struggle to subdue the wilderness, are living.
