Seal

image located by David Sigley, 24 May 2023

The coat of arms depicts a blue shield divided into four sections. In the first section is an old American schoolhouse. The second depicts an old general store. The third section shows a farmer using a horse drawn plough, with the sun setting in the background. In the fourth section shows a big red barn with a blue grain silo, with a white fence in front of it. Under the shield is a brown sign which has the founding year on it. The sign acts as the base for a golden laurel wreath which surrounds most of the shield. Under the wreath is a blue banner with the township name inscribed on it.

The color blue represents the sky, the color brown the soil and the design on either side represent growth. The Barn represents the hard working people who cleared the land. The hammer and anvil represent the blacksmith who with their hard labor kept the farmers moving ahead. The General Store a necessity for items people did not have any other way obtaining. And the long buildings represents the churches and schools for worship and education.
