HARDIN COUNTY. ; 350 
Near Patterson it is seen in the following section on the land of Dr. 
A. I. Stanley: 
No. 1. Dark drab, slightly porous, with spots of blue and purple; no 
. fossils visible; beds three to four inches; exposed.............. 8 in.° 
“ 2. Surface exposure of somewhat vesicular, even-bedded, and 
crystalline Niagara, of a buff color. 
The stone is used here for rough walls and for lime. 
Section 11. In the Blanchard, and in a little ravine running east 
through the section; land of Thomas Huston and of Jeremiah Higgins; 
rapid dip N. H. | 
About half a mile west of Forest, almost within the limits of the cor- 
poration, the Niagara is exposed along a little ravine on the land of John 
Campbell. 
The Niagara is also said to appear on the land of Mr. B. Jackson, 8. W. 
+ section 24, and of Mr. S. A. Bower, S. W. 4+ section 14, in the same 
township. 
The Waterlime underlies the greater portion of Hardin county. Wher- 
ever it appears it is in thin beds, which are sometimes blue, and at others 
drab, always separated by conspicuous bituminous films. It furnishes a 
building stone of ordinary quality by making selection of the thickest 
beds, and is considerably burned into quicklime. 
Two and a half miles south-east of Kenton Mr. Erhardt Blum met the 
Waterlime in sinking a well at the depth of twelve feet. In the same 
vicinity a number of other wells terminated in the same way, without a 
supply of water. 
About two miles south-west of Kenton the Waterlime is in outcrop 
near the railroad, on the land of Mr. Alonzo Teeter. It is a fine-grained, 
blue-drab stone, in beds of three to four inches, lying nearly horizontal. 
Two and a half miles east of Kenton, on the land of Mr. Nicholson 
Rarey, the Waterlime appears in the Scioto in beds of two to four inches. 
It has been somewhat used for lime. There are surface indications of the 
near approach of the Waterlime to the surface on the land of Dr. William 
Chessney, two miles east of Kenton, along a stream known as Allen’s 
Run. 
On the land of Mr. T. W. Bridge, in Buck township, five miles south 
of Kenton, the Waterlime appears in thin, slaty beds, and has been 
burned into lime. 
At Dunkirk there are several quarries in the Waterlime. Mr. Hugh 
Miller’s is situated a quarter of a mile east of the village; Mr. Charles N. 
HWill’s is a mile south. At the former it lies in blue-drab, slaty beds, 
which are torn up by picks and crow-bars, and used for road-making;
