Ironton Ohio Yesterday Years
On Tuesday morn about eight o’clock a large number of our citizens, provoked beyond further endurance, took the law into their own hands and assembled on the bank of the river at East Ironton, near Graham’s liquor boat; a short speech was made, a committee appointed, and the person in charge of the boat notified to remove his nuisance outside the corporation, and fifteen minutes were given in which to start. At the expiration of the time, the boat was peaceable manned and taken two miles down the river.
Ironton Bank and the Mob
The Ironton Bank, through an organized mob called to its aid, repulsed Gen. E. B. Tyler, of Ravenna, who presented a few thousand of its notes for payment a few weeks ago.

Tyler was not a broker, but an agent of the American Fur Company, annually disbursing large sums of money in the purchase of furs in Ohio and Western Virginia.
