Inscription. A blockhouse was erected in 1811 on the northwest side of the then Flemmonds Trail. The key establishments of a church, school, post office, inn, grist mill and cemetery were founded in the first seven years. The Bank of Sandusky Bay at Bloomingville was built in 1817 of brick. The bank never received a charter and bank notes were printed but never issued. Milk sickness, “trembles,” and cholera caused mass burials in the nearby cemetery.
