MONROE COUNTY. . 55 
BETHEL TOWNSHIP. 
This is the south-eastern township of the county. It is chiefly drained 
by the waters of Clear Fork of Little Muskingum. The Cumberland 
seam of coal is found in this township, it being readily traceable from 
Elk township, of Noble county, on the west. On the land of Lorenzo 
Manly, section 2, the following geological section was obtained : 
Ft. In. 
1. White limestone (not measured).

Bed of Indian Run. (Map XIII., No. 21.) 
Mr. Frank Halliday, in the same section, has mined the same seam of 
coal quite extensively. The coal must be found in all the hills in its 
proper geological horizon. 
WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP. 
This township lies east of Bethel. It borders Ludlow, in Washington 
county, on the south. It is drained by Clear Creek and other tributaries 
of the Little Muskingum. 
The Cumberland seam of coal is found in this township, but so far as 
could be ascertained it is in limited development. Very little coal has 
been mined in the township. The village of Graysville is supplied from 
Indian Fork, in Bethel township. 
On the land of J. Knowlton, section 24, we find the following geologi-
