The reported thickness of the Berea is unusually large. It contained 
a little oil and gas, the latter making a flame 8 feet high. No use was made 
of either product, owing to the small quantity, and the well was abandoned. 
The second well was begun June 1, 1899, and was located on the 
Welsch farm one mile southeast of the village. The Berea was found at 
a depth of 1,013 feet and was 92 feet thick. The sand produced a heavy 
flow of salt-water which the drillers were unable to control. The third 
well was drilled on the Murphy farm in Washington township, and may 
be found recorded there. Well No. 4 was located on the Stocker farm 
about three-fourths of a mile northwest of Port Washington. The Berea 
was reported from 10 to 12 feet only in thickness, and made a small show- 
ing of gas. The fifth and last well drilled by the company was located on 
the Welsch farm, a few hundred feet from the other well on that place. 
The first well was reported to have produced some gas in a shallow sand, 
and the second well was drilled to that formation, but it contained neither 
oil nor gas. 
Warwick Township.—In 1900 a well was drilled on the Anderson 
farm one and one-half miles west of Tuscarawas. The sand made a show 
only of oil.- 
Lawrence Township.—Within the past few years a number of wells 
have been drilled near Zoar. No records of these have been placed at the 
disposal of the Survey. All, however, were failures. 
Mill Township.—A number of wells have been drilled in this town- 
ship largely with the hope of finding a supply of gas for the manufacturing 
establishments of Dennison and Uhrichsville. About 10 years ago a well 
was drilled on the Carmack land near the last named town. No record 
of this has been secured, but the Berea sand is reported to have been 
found and made a show only of oil and gas. About 1896 a well was drilled 
on the Arthur farm near Dennison. The Berea is reported to have been 
passed through, and to have made a small show of gas. The depth of the 
well was approximately 1,400 feet. In 1899 a well was drilled on the 
Brown farm one-half mile north of Urichsville. The Berea sand, 40 
feet thick, contained some oil and gas, but such a flood of brine was liber- 
ated that it ran from the top of the well. Encouraged by this well another 
one was drilled on the same farm, but the results simply duplicated those 
already given. Three wells have been drilled near the village of Newport. 
These were located on the Paul, Hines and Westhafer farms. Those on 
the last two farms were dry, but those on the Paul land produced a few 
barrels of heavy oil. All are reported to have reached the Berea sand.
