The tale is told that when Paulding County, first circus appeared at Junction. The animals all crossed the high level bridge except the big elephant, who placed a forefoot on the high structure and backed away and refuse to budge. However when led down to the level of the canal, he plunge in and splashed his way across, to the terror and delight of the small children.
A pioneer farmer who lived on the canal, south of the Schooley Locks (off of Hammersmith Road). Kept a good many cows and sold butter. He always had lots of buttermilk and canal crews delight in this treat. For many years this farm was known all along the canal as buttermilk station.
