In the year 1880 the Goheen brother's made their appearance in Lillian township; Hugh M Goheen, John Goheen, J M Goheen and Austin Goheen and made a permentant residence. The winter of 1880-81 was the "hard winter". During this winter a petition was circulated to make Lillian township from Victoria township with votin in New Helena. Probably the first men who ever looked upon this valley with serious idea of possession were J M Goheen and H A Goheen and Wm H Gwinn. They located their claims and made a "Dug-out" and cut some hay, and prepared for winter.Some time during that fall John W Goheen a brother of the first arrivals came with their parents, quite old people who had been piineers in the settlement in western Pennsylvania. The aged couple full of fire of youth, were delighted with the new found earthly paradise and soon files on a homestead which they occupied until the death of James Goheen in August 1887.
During the 1881 summer the Goheen brothers built comfortable sod homes for their families.
