The hotel, which stands where Multoon opened his inn seventy years ago, was kept for many years by Smith Copeland and by his son, Clewly Copeland, who realized a handsome competence from it, and is still living, almost an octogenarian, in the village.

After him the house was kept by several different persons, among them being John N. Green and Edward L. Proctor.

It is at present kept by J. B. Proctor. The town-meetings have been held here more frequently than at any other place. (Jefferson County History, L.H. Everts, 1878)
