In
the north-western portion of Monroe county, 18 miles
from Paris, in Woodlawn township, is situated the
village of Woodlawn. This village is surrounded by as
good a farming country as can be found in any other
portion of the county, and taking population into
consideration, has more energetic farmers than any
other township in the county. Several farmers in the
immediate vicinity of Woodlawn are extensive stock
dealers, and should this township ever have railroad
facilities, it would, in a short time, be the banner
township of the county. The village of Woodlawn has
two stores, one dry goods and grocery, the other drug
and grocery.
