THE FREEPORT PRESS
******************************
Pub. Thursday, Sept. 9, 1880
Freeport, Harrison County, Ohio
There is a man in Hayesville, Ohio, who is or will be decidedly interesting to the large circle of marriage-able young ladies who read the PRESS, and this is why ; Jacob Dunlap, an eccentric old batchelor of Ashland County, Ohio, died a few days since and on reading his will it was found that he had willed all his property, consisting of $25,000 in bonds besides considerable real estste to P. B. Clawson, of Hayesville, this county, for an act of charity done him while traveling some years ago. It is stipulated in the will, however that he must marry some girl not known to him now, and that on or before the 4th of March, 1881, and then the property is to be his. Failing to do this the money goes to charitable objects, and only the real estate to be his. It looks like a good chance for someone interested in his welfare to be up and doing and it would be real nice if someone of our Freeport belles would succeed in captureing this choice young man and then persuade him to com!
e to our town, with his stamps and make pavements.

There were "Dunlaps" in Harrison county at that time.
