Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understand- ing. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies; and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honor. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her; and happy is everyone that retaineth her. The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens. By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew. My son, let not them depart from thine eyes; keep sound wisdom and discretion: so shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck. Then shalt thou walk in thy way, safely, and thy foot shall not stumble. Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And everyone that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell; and great was the fall of it.

THE ACT OF PRESENTATION President John W. Dickhaut, B.D., D.D., S.T.D. Dr. John L. Williams, B.D., D.D. THE ACT OF DEDICATION Dearly beloved, it is right and proper that buildings erected for such service in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ should be formally and devoutly set apart for their special uses. For such a dedication we are now assembled. And, as the dedication of this building is vain without the solemn consecration of those whose gifts and labors it represents, let us now give ourselves anew to the service of God: our souls, that they may be renewed after the image of Christ; our bodies, that they may be fit temples for the indwelling of the Holy Spirit; and our labors and business, that they may be according to God's holy will, and that their fruit may tend to the glory of his name and the advancement of his kingdom. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, we dedicate this building to the holy ministry of education. Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her for she is thy life. We dedicate this building to the spiritual enrichment of all who shall come here in pursuit of knowledge. Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. We dedicate this building to the care and nurture of the family, that those who shall dwell here, being established in mutual love and affection, may abide in quiet- ness and peace, in prayer and praise. Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the vic- tory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is Thine. THE PRAYER OF DEDICATION Let us pray. Almighty God, our heavenly Father, whose eyes are ever toward the righteous, and whose ears are ever open unto their cry: graciously accept, we pray thee, this building which we now dedicate to thee, to thy service, and to thy glory. Grant that those who shall live here, being consecrated to the sacred office of the holy ministry, may with pure minds, upright purpose, and steadfast endeavor, seek always to learn and to do thy holy will, that thy name may be glorified and thy saving health be made known to all men; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Description An account of the resource [page 2] [corresponds to page 2 of A Short History of Medicine and the Physicians Of Delaware County, Ohio] A Short History of Medicine and the Physicians Of Delaware County, Ohio M. S. CHERINGTON, M.D. The Author Dr. Cherington, Delaware, is a member of the staff of Jane M. Case Hospital. IT is not certainly known just who may have inhabited this area which now comprises Delaware County, Ohio, in the period before the Mound Builders, and they have left little to tell us of their civilization, especially in regard to sickness and their methods of treatment. The Indians followed the Mound Builders and we know that they had their Medicine Men who practiced a sort of psycho-therapy and combined it with use of massage, water treatment or cures, the use of herbs, berries, roots etc., that they, through the centuries perhaps had learned, gave benefit in some conditions, but why they knew not. Even the early settlers had at times found it necessary to seek their help. The Indians used the Mineral and the Sulphur Springs for treatment by drinking the water and they also used a sort of steam treatment from a pit contain- ing hot rocks that, then, had water slowly poured over them and covered by a teepee. Early Concern for Doctor The pioneer settlements of 150 to 200 years ago were usually made by one or more families, and in fairly well separated areas. The teacher, min- ister, lawyer, etc., were not much needed but many settlers were much concerned as to the availability of a doctor. When the Queen of Sheba, from Southern Arabia, came to visit King Solomon, she brought with her a physician, and the great medicinal agent, the Balm of Gilead. The piety, wisdom, glory and courtesy of Solomon greatly impressed her. Upon her return to her own country she sent, contrary to the laws of her land, the great medicinal tree so long known to her kingdom, 800 miles away, to this admired ruler, to be planted along the river Jordan. The tree grew, increased, and furnished medicine to Palestine. Jeremiah, 600 years after, and 600 years before the Christian era, said, "Is there no Balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there?" And so, one of the first queries of the emigrant is, Bibli- cally speaking, "Is there Balm in Gilead? Is there a physician there?" Or in other words, "Is there a doctor within reach?" Now "within reach" in this area sometimes meant a one to even four days' ride. As we will see later, such a one as Dr. Lamb often rode as far north as Portland, now Sandusky, and south to Chillicothe. The settlers of that early day merely asked if the person at hand was a doctor. They did not have to worry about having to select or get the services of one who came under a special type of practice or "ism." It was not until about 1824 that the first system presented itself. This was called the Thomsonian System, evolved by Samuel Thomson (1769-1843) who advocated that "heat was life and cold was death." He had prepared formulas from No. 1 to No. 6 to produce these results. Thus he steamed the patient outside and stimulated him inside with his No. 6 formula. Thomson's book of theories and instructions were sold to families as well as physicians. In a few years this system passed away but the steam- ing and bathing had made an impression which culminated in the erection of many large sanitar- iums in this and all lands. It is interesting to know also that one of the citizens of Delaware, a Mr. Horton Howard, bought the rights to Ohio and several Western and Southern states for the promulgation of this system and the sale of the books. Advocates of the next system to appear were the Uroscopists, in 1838, who thought the kidneys were the source of all our our ills. This, too, soon passed away but served a good purpose as it stimu- lated more thought and investigation on the part of the regular school. Schools of Other Systems I do not know when the Eclectic School of thought made its appearance here but it was not long afterwards. An Eclectic School or College was established at Worthington, in 1830. Dr. J. J. Steel was president and Dr. J. G. Jones was the dean. The latter was a partner of Dr. Case, the husband of Mrs. Jane M. Case who, through her will, provided money for the establishment of our Hospital. Also Dr. J. A. Little, a resident of our county, was associated with them for a while. He was a student and a teacher and later became a Presented before the Delaware County Historical Society April 27, 1959. 2 Title A name given to the resource A Short History of Medicine and the Physicians Of Delaware County, Ohio (p. 2) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/567b43d327d5d2b59baeba2bd887afa1.jpg 8d42ad3d3dcf7af8b46944cdbb0d4f8d Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

This College and system had a great influence in this area. Later it was moved to Cincinnati and called the Eclectic Medical College. Today there are none of such schools left. It was an expansion of the herb sys- tem and Indian medicine. The Homeopathic doctrine made its appearance in about 1850, and has had a representative in this county ever since. Today there remains only one such school, the Hahnemann Medical College in Philadelphia, and it teaches all regular school and modern doctrine in addition. Then the many specialty groups began to ap- pear and the masseurs and the osteopaths had be- come established. These last and their method, however, had been known to the Chinese, Hindus, and Brahmans long before the Christian era. Fi- nally, at the close of this era of change, we have the appearance and acceptance of the lady physi- cians, in 1840, who have played an increasingly important part up to the present time. It must be remembered also that the lone phy- sician of those early days, besides doing the work of a doctor and a surgeon, had to combine with it that of a dentist and druggist. He also was re- garded as the embodiment of learning generally, and held the respect of the people in all matters. In dealing with the History of Medicine in Delaware County and the individual sketches of the doctors who have served here we are greatly indebted to one man, Dr. Silas W. Fowler, who seemed to be of a literary nature, and what has been written through the years has been done by him. He was here as a young man, in 1880, and wrote the first account on this subject for the 1880 Delaware County History. Again, when Judge Lytle wrote the Centenary History, in 1908, he asked him to write that part and bring it up to date. Dr. Fowler published his own little book two years later, 1910, on The History of Medicine and Physicians of Delaware County, Ohio, at the solicitation of the County Medical Society and the Drake Memorial Association. As he stated, he could not have done this had it not been for the help of the older doctors in 1880, a few of whom went back 50 years to 1830 and practiced and mingled with those who preceeded them. Then again, after 28 years, Dr. Fowler repeated this same procedure. In his early days of practice he was intimately associated with the scholarly and renowned Dr. Ralph Hills, the son of Dr. James H. Hills who had settled in Delaware in 1822, and Drs. T. B. Williams, W. T. Constant, and John A. Little, who often met in the studio of Dr. Ralph Hills to listen to the stories of the pioneer, so graphically related by him, as well as to hear the history of those who came later. Before taking up the individual physicians I want to speak briefly of the Medical Society History. Medical Societies. It has been said that "associated action con- stitutes the mainspring--the controlling motive power of society." Thus it was with the pioneer practitioners of this county, who saw the extreme need for associated action. So in 1848 they set about to form a medical society. Those present were Drs. Ralph Hills, Abram Blymyer, J. M. Cherry, M. Gerhard and a few others whose names are lost. This was to be known as the Delaware County Medical Society. Dr. Hills was the presi- dent and Dr. Blymyer was vice-president. At this meeting Dr. Blymyer read a paper on "Milk Sickness and Its Treatment." Meetings were to be held every three months. During the years 1848, '49, and '50 they met fairly regularly. In 1851 new members were added and on the 15th of June, 1852, they made a permanent organization. Among the many articles in their constitution was one that declared that "no person could be admitted to membership who was not fully orthodox in his professional beliefs and practice." The society after a few years for some cause went to sleep, only to be revived again in 1868. After the Civil War new life seemed to be given to the society and the profession. The Ohio State Medical Society convened in Delaware in May, 1856, while Dr. Ralph Hills was the editor of the Medical Counsellor, the first weekly medical journal published in the West, and which he had established in 1854. At the reorganization of the Delaware County Medical Society in 1868 Dr. Blymer was elected president, Dr. P. Willis vice-president, Dr. E. H. Hyatt, secretary and Dr. J. M. Cherry, treasurer. Others present were Drs. T. B. Williams, W. T. Constant, William McIntyre, John A. Little, J. H. White, Henry Besse, Calvin Welch, John A. Carouthers, Joseph McCann, and A. E. West- brook. In 1869 Dr. Blymyer was reelected presi- dent and at the close of his term he gave a grant banquet to his colleagues. So far as we can learn Dr. Blymyer, in 1869, Dr. Dorrance E. Hughes, in 1907, and Dr. A. E. Westbrook, Ashley, were the only ones to remember the so- ciety with such honor. Harmony and good feeling prevailed for many years when some disturbing element put an end to it. Many reorganizations took place but did not last. After some 15 years of inactivity a new organization was effected and has continued in good form to this present time. In 1904, all schools of medicine of the county were invited 3 Title A name given to the resource A Short History of Medicine and the Physicians Of Delaware County, Ohio (p. 3) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/e0c49ec7cc405c7b22bd2c3ae97c0227.jpg 24d513a6832c518b62908491d7b83c26 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

In the very early day of our pioneer settle- ments the few white doctors had little more to use in treating the diseases they were confronted with than did the Indians, and many times the Indians could do it better as they had had many years of experience with them. The most seri- ous diseases met with were: Malaria, which was largely controlled by the drainage of the swamps and the introduction of quinine; Remittant Fever was at first confused with malaria, but when the quinine failed to give relief they then resorted to calomel with some success; Cholera was met with several times as it swept up the river valley and into the tributaries; Milk Sickness--This was a new disease to the doctors and affected cattle as well as man. It was probably due to a poisonous weed and was transmitted to man through milk or from unclean vessels. In reviewing some of the physicians of the early days, we will take the first few in the order of their coming into the county. It is not known who might have taken care of the small number of people here from the time of the Carpenter settlement until the coming of Dr. Lamb. We do know that at Worthington Col. Kilbourn, though not a doctor, did do much to care for the sick of his settlement. First Physician in County DR. REUBEN LAMB, was the first physician in this area. Colonel James Kilbourne first came out to Worthington in 1802 and the next year saw six men settled there who were members of the Scioto Land Company. He may have been influential in persuading Moses Byxbe to come out and occupy his lands in what is now Delaware County. Dr. Lamb was born in Chenango County, New York, in 1774. He is said to have read medicine there before 1806 but we do not know if he had any formal medical education; however, he was well prepared. In the fall of 1805 he resolved to go to Pittsburgh and down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers to New Orleans. However, at Pittsburgh or on his way down the Ohio, he fell in with Col. Moses Byxbe who persuaded him to go with them to Worthington on the Scioto and on north to Berkshire on Alum Creek. Worthington was already a well known town and business center in this area. After a few months residence in Berkshire, Dr. Lamb moved to Worthington. The town had no physician and gave more promise for the future. Soon after locating there Dr. Lamb married Miss Mary Sloper, May 6, 1806. She lived only a short time and on September 13, 1807 he married her sister, Miss Cynthia Sloper. A few years after- ward they moved to Illinois, to the town of Galesburg. The doctor, we presume, practiced medicine there. After a few months his wife died of fever and he at once returned to Worthington. Helped Lay Out the Town In the spring of 1808 Dr. Lamb joined his old friend Col. Byxbe and they laid out the town of Delaware. There is great confusion about his marriages to whom and the dates. It is stated that he was married three times but it may have been more. The 1880 history gives it as four. His oldest son was born in 1807 and was long a resident of Delaware. The Lytle history states that Dr. Lamb first married a Miss Campbell of Worthington and that after her death he married a Miss Sloper of Delaware in 1815. They then moved to Illinois. The following year she died and he at once re- turned to Delaware, and soon after married Mrs. Platt, a sister of his last wife. Dr. Lamb was about 35 years old when he began his work in the county and because of ill health, in 1822 he moved to Missouri where his wife died in less than a year and he returned to Delaware, but did not resume an active practice as before. He died in 1850 and we are told that he left a widow--his fourth wife, at least. Dr. Lamb possessed great energy and mental force. He had the credit of being a man of ability and a most competent practitioner and surgeon, besides being very well liked. His energy and ability called him to many vocations. He assisted in organizing the county and town and in organizing and conducting various business enterprises. He was the first recorder of public records, and the first physician of the county and city, and was called upon to serve a wide area in that capacity. Col. Byxbe erected for him a log cabin, for a home and an office on the corner of East William and North Union Streets on the lot Byxbe owned and where later stood the residence of Hon. J. C. Evans and still later and today the Sarah Moore Home. He lived there briefly, perhaps only a year, when he built for himself on South Union Street and on the banks of the Delaware Run, a palatial cabin that stood on the ground in the rear of where Martin Miller's residence stood in 1880. Dr. Lamb worked hard during these first years and was called upon to ride great distances to attend the sick. He perhaps was subjected to 4 Title A name given to the resource A Short History of Medicine and the Physicians Of Delaware County, Ohio (p. 4) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/4fa0da9b31854b612c253518f08775a6.jpg 3e101a822a0cf22e78c16ac8f7bc3122 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 5] [corresponds to page 5 of A Short History of Medicine and the Physicians Of Delaware County, Ohio] more exposure and danger in traveling over the tractless wilds, in the night and in all sorts of weather, and confronted by the wild animals and the Indians, than was anyone else there. There were no roads, merely trails or "cutouts" and there were no bridges to cross the streams. Often he would be alone but at times would be accompanied by the messenger who had come for him. Surgical Instruments Scarce From physical disability he was required to quit this very active practice and confine his work to office practice, the preparation of medicines and consultation. The types of diseases that he met with in the West materially differed from those he met with in the East, his homeland. He was acknowledged by all to be skilled and successful in dealing with the diseases of the new country. He disliked surgery, but he was the only one who had any instruments in the county at that time. He freely loaned them to all prac- titioners who had occasion to use them. He was a man of few words and scorned and hated bluff and sham and ignorance in the profession. He was always sympathetic and affectionate, but quiet, socially and professionally. The old physicians were wont to tell a good story on Dr. Lamb. In his early practice, about 1818, a Mr. Shippy was taken sick at the home of a prominent citizen, Col. Sydney Moore. When the crisis of the disease had come, two watchers were engaged, but one failed to put in an ap- pearance. The doctor made his last visit for the night, gave careful and positive instructions to the nurse and left. The man seated himself comfortably before the fire to await the coming of his associate. Weary from his day's labor, he soon forgot his vigil and fell into a deep sleep. Together, the nurse and the patient traveled in the land of dreams. When the nurse awoke, the beautiful sunshine was streaming into the room. Frightened beyond measure and fearing lest the patient be dead from neglect, he walked silently to the bed. To his great amazement and joy, the patient turned over, rubbed his eyes, strethed his arms, and was equally surprised to learn that it was morning. He spoke of having had a good night's rest and of feeling much better, and so did the nurse. The good doctor soon arrived and going to his patient, pronounced him out of danger, and highly complimented the efficient nurse, remark- ing that in the future he would know upon whom to call to watch and nurse and give the medi- cine to his sick. The patient lived for many years. As stated before, Dr. Lamb died in 1850 at the age of 76, having lived here most of 43 years. Dr. Lamb was not left alone long to endure the arduous duties in the wilderness for in 1809 DR. NOAH SPAULDING, a graduate in medicine and literature at old Dartmouth College, and a native of New Hampshire, settled in Berkshire. He remained there but a short time as he saw that Delaware was going to be a city of more promise and so in a year or two he moved there. He had good knowledge and was very cultured. He was slow in expression, but exact in his state- ments, exceedingly amiable, social and cheerful. He was perfectly temperate in all of his habits. The Human Touch Dr. Spaulding was not long in gaining a good practice among all classes. He was noted as a delightful story teller, and with his feet high above his head he would entertain his listeners with pleasing and wholesome stories. He re- mained in Delaware until his death in 1832. Dr. Spaulding was a member of the Protestant Epis- copal Church and a most exemplary Christian. He was also a fine singer, and taught classes in singing. He left his imprint upon the commu- nity for many years. In 1818 he assisted in organizing the first Sunday School in the county. His scholarly qualifications secured his appointment as a mem- ber of the board of county examiners for teach- ers. He made a pleasing impression on one of Delaware county's greatest and most noted phy- sicians, Dr. Ralph Hills. When a mere youth medical profession was rapid and he grew into Hills came before the board for examination for credentials to teach school. Suddenly Dr. Spauld- ing turned to the young man and said "Ralph, what is the difference between six dozen and a half dozen dozen." The answer being promptly given the Doctor turned to his associates and said "You may as well write out his certificate. He is one of Dr. James Hills' sons and we know what he is." There is a joke handed down about Dr. Spauld- ing. It seems he had not the most explicit con- fidence in his own professional judgment. One day he met Dr. Lamb on the street and said "Doctor, I have given my wife some blue pills, and they have not acted as they should, see what you think of them," showing some he had in his hand. Dr. Lamb examined them, placed one between his teeth and then remarked: "These are buckshot and made of lead." The third doctor to locate in the county was DR. N. HAWLEY. He came to the well adver- 5 Title A name given to the resource A Short History of Medicine and the Physicians Of Delaware County, Ohio (p. 5) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/b3f8dfd04c11bde4f971655de94497e3.jpg 1b53eece728911daaa2280dcedc157d0 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

His remarkable energy, shrewdness and great skill gave him his share of the work in the new land. He also was armed with pleasing anec- dotes and attractice stories which entertained his numerous friends. He died in 1822. He was advanced in years when he came to Berkshire and was known as "Old Dr. Hawley" from the beginning. Misfortune Takes Its Toll DR. SILAS MCCLARY, the fourth doctor to settle in the county, in 1813 came to Berkshire, where all seemed to settle first. After 20 years of labor there he moved to Delaware and in a short time went to Radnor, where he died. He, we think, was the first doctor to settle in Radnor. In his earlier days he was quite successful in business but in later life misfortune came upon him and he was left destitute and uncared for when he died. Some traits of his character always pre- vented him from becoming a favorite or friend of members of the profession and his services were seldom sought after by them. DR. SAMUEL MOULTON, was the fifth physi- cian to take up his work here and he came di- rectly to Delaware, thus slighting Old Berk- shire, in 1819. He came from Rutland, Vermont, where he graduated in medicine. His rise in the great favor and into an extensive practice. Dr. Moulton was well read, skillful, and made few mistakes. Dr. Lamb esteemed him highly for his learning and gentlemanly qualities and often sought his council. The "White Plague" or tuberculosis cut his brilliant career short and he died in 1821, or '22, at the age of 29 years. For many years his name was kept green among the people in this locality by Dr. Lamb and others prescribing and using "Dr. Moulton's Cathartic Pills." DR. ELEAZER COPELAND, the sixth to locate in the county, came during the same year as Dr. Moul- ton--1819. Also from Vermont, he located in Zoar, now called Galena, and to our knowledge, was the first doctor there. He was a shoemaker by trade and studied general subjects and medicine while plying his trade. All will admit he was a self-made man. While working at the bench he committed to memory Murray's English Grammar in two weeks' time. Other texts followed in rapid succession and then he prepared himself for schoolteaching. While teaching school he studied Greek and Latin, which he mastered without an instructor, and soon became a perfect translator of both languages. He took up the study of medicine in the same manner and became a careful, skill- ful and excellent physician. District Censor Dr. Copeland was highly esteemed by all of his professional brethren. He held the position of censor of the Sixth and afterwards of the Eleventh Medical District of Ohio, composed of the counties of Franklin, Marion, Crawford and Delaware. He was accidentally drowned in Big Walnut Creek, near Galena, in 1834. As a wise counsellor, a superior physician, a mature scholar and a useful citizen, his loss was deeply felt in all circles. DR. ROYAL N. POWERS, the seventh doctor to come to the county, located in Delaware in 1820. It is not known where he came from or where he went from here. His conduct was not ap- preciated in the community and he was compelled to leave unceremoniously, on a rail, carried by several citizens, and others who accompanied him a short distance from the town, as a lasting re- membrance of their good will. DR. ALPHEUS BIGELOW, the eighth doctor, settled in Zoar, now Galena, in 1820--perhaps a year after Dr. Copeland. He was a brother of the celebrated evangelist, the Reverend Russell Bigelow, of the Methodist Church. The doctor, like his brother, was a self-educated man. Both men possessed great energy of character, as well as strong intellect. He possessed a mind of his own and excellent judgment. Dr. Bigelow was not a regular graduate, like many others in the county, and he seldom evinced any disposition to cultivate an intimacy with any school of medi- cine, but he was a very skillful physician. He died in 1850 and had been in practice in one place, longer than any other physician at that time in the county. James Harvey Hills DR. JAMES HARVEY HILLS, probably the ninth physician to come to Delaware, was raised at Farmington, Connecticut, and educated at Yale College. He gained his early medical knowledge in the office of his brother-in-law, Dr. Eli Todd, out East, who was one of the most highly edu- cated men in the profession of his time. After practicing at his home place Dr. Hills determined to go west and so set out for Ohio. He is known to have settled first at Ravenna, Ohio, but in due time located at Worthington, in 1808. Here he soon grew in much favor and was called for, far and near, to attend the afflicted. He made frequent trips to Berkshire and Delaware 6 Title A name given to the resource A Short History of Medicine and the Physicians Of Delaware County, Ohio (p. 6) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/c5cd1f7643cad22a0b2d6ac7186d2dba.jpg a0d1566db995a43c7563774b4f79c63e Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 7] [corresponds to page 7 of A Short History of Medicine and the Physicians Of Delaware County, Ohio] and was for a time the only doctor in the area besides Dr. Lamb. At this point, I want to speak a bit of side- light history. Soon after locating in Worthing- ton Dr. Hills became affiliated with the New England Lodge, F. & A. M. He took the Fellow Craft degree on April 24, 1809, while Col. James Kilbourne was Worshipful Master and Ezra Gris- wold was Secretary; Samuel Sloper, the father-in- law of Dr. Lamb, was Tyler and William Little was a member. I mention this for in a few years he located in Delaware and found them all to then be residents there. Dr. Hills was raised to the sublime degree of a Master Mason, May 10, 1810. He served in different chairs and soon he joined the Horab Chapter of Royal Select Masters. Hardships of Military Campaign While living in Worthington Dr. Hills was found ready for duty when the War of 1812 be- gan and he was made Surgeon of the Sixth Regi- ment of regulars, and marched with General Harrison through the forests of central Ohio to Fort Defiance on the Maumee River near Toledo. While there he became seriously ill and a scout was sent back to tell his wife of his illness. She at once had her faithful riding mare saddled and prepared for the long and dangerous journey of 130 miles, through the forests and swollen streams amidst dangers and death from the red men and English scouts, to her sick and possibly dying husband. Finally, safely reaching the camp she ministered to him and others there until Dr. Hills had recovered and they could return to Worthington and to their family. In 1818 they left there and moved to Darby Plains, in Logan County, and lived at West Liberty for four years, when they came to Delaware, in 1822. Here they found a town of about 40 houses and 250 people enjoying life. Among them were the Kilbournes, Littles, Byxbes, Walkers, Lambs, Hayes, and Sydney Moore with all of whom he had fraternized at Worthington. Dur- ing this year the Reverend Joseph Hughes died from the plague. Through the years many of the town's finest men were taken by this same plague, or Milk Sickness, among them being Mr. Hayes, the father of United States President Rutherford B. Hayes; J. B. Andrews, the father of Hon. Charles Sweetzer; and in 1830 Dr. James H. Hills. Dr. Hills had married Miss Beulah Andrews, back East and was the father of a large family. There were three sons named Ralph, two having died in infancy, and the third who followed in the footsteps of his father and attained great prominence. The other sons were Reuben E., Chauncey Harvey, Darwin T., and James H. The daughters were Eleanora, Mary Jane, Rachel, and Mary. All of the children left their imprint for much good on the community in which they lived. DR. GEORGE M. SMITH, of New Hampshire, came to Delaware in 1826 and formed a partner- ship with Dr. James Hills. He was a thorough anatomist. He was compelled to leave his native State for exhuming a human body for the purpose of study. After several years in Delaware his abode was discovered by the authorities in the East. He then went to Mississippi where he married a woman of wealth. In a few years he returned north on a visit and died of cholera. Dr. Smith is particularly remembered because he was the first one to introduce quinine in the county for the treatment of chills and fever, and malaria. This was in 1826. DR. W. W. MILLER, given to us by Virginia in 1827, first practiced in famed Worthington briefly, and then came to Delaware. While he was well trained, he did not seem to do well here and moved shortly to Columbus and after that to Missouri. He was a brother-in-law of United States President, John Tyler. Ralph Hills DR. RALPH HILLS began practice in Delaware in 1830. He was the son of Dr. James H. Hills, of whom we have spoken and who began his work in Worthington in 1808, coming to Dela- ware in 1822. Dr. Ralph Hills was born in Worthington in 1810 and was 12 years old when he came to Delaware, with his parents. In the first years of his life he was given the most careful training, under the best teachers of his time. At the age of 17 Ralph took up the study of medicine under his father. He went to Cincinnati in 1828 to attend medical lectures. He showed great aptness and did thorough work in all branches, but he devoted himself especially to the study of the nervous system. In 1830, be- fore his graduation, he was compelled to return home on account of the death of his father. The faculty of the college granted him an honorary degree to practice medicine. National Fame The reputation of Dr. Ralph Hills as a suc- cessful physician and surgeon became known far and near. He was a great student in many branches of knowledge and he was employed to deliver a series of lectures on astronomy, and traveled with the Russell's Great Planitarium for two years. He was a great thinker on many sci- 7 Title A name given to the resource A Short History of Medicine and the Physicians Of Delaware County, Ohio (p. 7) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/b387616edfc898ab1991c946d7ee0379.jpg 320c61de9027992c9394a64e5ea530ee Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

As a writer, none questioned his ability. His judgment and calculations upon matters of business were almost unerring. After a few years of hard practice, at the earnest request of his uncle, Dr. Eli Todd, who had charge of a large hospital for the insane at Hartford, Conn., Dr. Hills went there to assist in the work and to study nervous disorders. This study and knowledge under Dr. Tood, laid the foundation for his great work and usefulness in after years. It was in Dr. Hills' parlor and through his influence, that the idea originated and developed into the Ohio Wesleyan Female College. Through him and his intimate friends the Ohio Wesleyan Univerity's future greatness was assured. In 1854 he established and edited the first weekly medical journal, published in the West. Headed Columbus Asylum After two years of editorial work and pub- lishing he was called to the superintendency of the Central Ohio Lunatic Asylum at Columbus, Ohio. For more than eight years he labored in the new field, going to Europe to study all of the new advancements in the great field of nervous diseases. His work of advancement for the unfortunate made his name nationally promin- ent. He was called in 1862 to plan, superintend, and build the largest state asylum in the United States at Weston, West Virginia. In 1871 he completed the task and established a new era in this branch of medical science, which will last for ages. Dr. Hills then returned to his home in Dela- ware and retired from active life. Possessing an active brain and a strong physique for a man of his age and labors, it was not intended that he should be idle. He then designed, pattented and built several fireproof houses which added to his fame. He also organized, among the physicians, a class to study and investigate medi- cal and other scientific subjects. It was said by Dr. Clouston, of England, that "Dr. Hills was a third of a century in advance of his time in the treatment and care of the insane. He has unlocked the strong, iron-barred doors and has cut the shackles from the ankles and wrists of the unfortunate insane and has turned them loose to enjoy the playgrounds and the beautiful sunshine, and has given them other equally beneficial entertainment." Ohio state authorities soon sought out Dela- ware's great thinker and tendered him the posi- tion of head of the Girls' Industrial Home in this County. Again he went to work to benefit humanity. In the very midst of his active work he was summoned by the great Master, whom he had always served in a conscientious manner, to His realm. Stricken with a cerebral hemorrhage, in a few days it was all over and his work was done, October 1879. In a short time his widow followed, leaving a daughter. Others That Followed The foregoing is as much as we can cover now, bringing us up to about 1850, but following are the names of other physicians that through the years have been here some time, were popular and well regarded by the physicians and the citizens: Dr. M. Gerhard came here in 1840, married the granddaughter of Dr. Reuben Lamb, and died in 1868; Musician--played many instruments. He owned the first piano ever in Delaware and it was frequently borrowed by Ohio Wesleyan Uni- versity for commencement exercises. He was the first in the county to use chloroform as a general anesthetic for surgery and the first to use antisep- tics in open wounds. Dr. Abram Blymer came in 1841 and died in 1882. He was one of our best physicians and a great and respected leader in the community. Dr. T. B. Williams came in 1849; Was in the Civil War as a Surgeon; Served long on the School Board and was in the Ohio Legislature. Died in 1879. Included, also, were Dr. John Little; Dr. Joseph H. Van Deman; Dr. Joseph McCann; Dr. E. H. Hyatt; Dr. W. T. Constant; Dr. A. E. Westbrook, Ashley; Dr. B. W. Hedges, and Dr. W. N. Vogt. 8 Title A name given to the resource A Short History of Medicine and the Physicians Of Delaware County, Ohio (p. 8) Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource [page 4] [corresponds to unlabeled page 4 of Carlisle School Dedication Program] Mr. Ervin F. Carlisle, after whom this school is named, had an outstand- ing career in education and community service. Mr. Carlisle, after a long illness, passed away at his home at the age of 46. Mr. Carlisle's civic activities spanned all his years here since his graduation from the Ohio Wesleyan University in 1931, when he came to Willis High School as football coach and teacher. Possibly his foremost civic achievement was his chair- manship of the City Charter Commission that promoted the city charter form of government. This resulted in a successful election and the eventual hiring of Dela- ware's first city manager. From 1931 until 1934, Mr. Carlisle served as football coach and teacher. In 1934 he became principal of Willis High School and in 1937 received his M.A. degree from the Ohio State University. He served as acting superintendent of the Delaware City Schools while the present superintendent, David R. Smith, was in service during the war years. Mr. Carlisle was instrumental in the establishing and operation of a defense training school here during the early years of the World War II. Mr. Carlisle left his school position in 1945 to enter the insurance business. Because of his valuable school experience and since he was needed, he agreed to run and was elected to the Board of Education in 1949. He served as president in 1953. His willingness to serve kept Mr. Carlisle very busy. He served as director of ushers at the Asbury Methodist Church for more than 15 years. While serving as chairman of the industrial division of the Community Chest, he developed the payroll deduction plan which greatly contributed to the success of the campaigns. Mr. Carlisle headed the school division of the Jane M. Case Hospital ex- pansion campaign. He also served as chairman of industry in several Red Cross drives. Mr. Carlisle was the founder of the Youth Recreation Center, active in Boy Scout work, and was chairman for several years for the Scout financial drive. Mr. Carlisle was a past director of the Chamber of Commerce. He was president of the Delaware Development Corporation which assisted in bringing new industries to Delaware. He was a member and past director of the local Kiwanis Club. He was also a member of Hiram Lodge Number 18, F. and A. M. and the Elks and Moose Lodges. It is only fitting that this new school, dedicated to the service of young people, is named the Ervin F. Carlisle School. Mr. Carlisle's life like the school was dedicated to both young and old in education and service. He was a dedicated man, unselfish to the end.

Description An account of the resource [page 2] [corresponds to unlabeled page 2 of Delaware County Chamber of Commerce Classified Directory] DIRECTORY OF 1952 The Chamber of Commerce of Delaware, Ohio has been a vital force in this Community for nearly fifty years. This has been made possible by the continued loyal support of its members, they being a cross section of the Business, Industrial, Cultural, Professional and Agricultural interests who, working together, have improved business, attracted industry and raised the cul- tural level of Delaware. It is evident that the members listed herein are the people in Delaware who are willing to spend their time and money in bringing about, not only activities which will bring personal benefit but those which also benefit the whole community. We have tried to list all members as to their business or profession and have also cross-listed them alphabetically. We urge you to use this Directory when seeking services of any nature as we feel that a membership in the Chamber of Commerce is a recommendation for fair dealing and good service.

Description An account of the resource [page 33] [corresponds to unlabeled page 33 of Delaware County Chamber of Commerce Classified Directory] DELAWARE DATA Located in the scenic Olentangy River Valley at almost the geographical center of the State, Delaware, Ohio, has much to offer in the way of cultural, commercial and indus- trial advantages. The City of Delaware was founded in 1808, the same year that Delaware County was formed by dividing Franklin County. As the County seat, the City has had an impres- sive history. Industrialists look with favor upon Delaware as an ideal location for new developments. Delaware and its environs have many thriving industries employing nearly 2,000 people in various firms producing such things as truck bodies, tractor cranes, rubber goods, screw products, cameras, temperature control units, motors and equipment, caskets, canvas products, automatic brake controls, etc. Many of these plants have been con- verted to meet government procurement requirements during the Nation's present de- fense program. Tourists find many points of interest in Delaware and its surrounding territory. The site of the birthplace of Rutherford B. Hayes, 19th President of the United States, and also the oldest house still standing, built in 1813, which also was occupied by the Hayes family, are located in the center of the city. The Jane M. Case Hospital, set in a grove of oak and maple trees, is worth seeing, as is the Delaware flood control dam and reservoir four miles north of town, and the ter- ritory along the east side of the Scioto River which is developed for park and picnic areas following the river all the way from the Girls Industrial School to the Columbus Zoo. Sail boating is popular along this area. Persons interested in seeing Ohio's ca- verns will find the Olentangy Caverns, five miles south of Delaware, impressive. If you come to Delaware in the latter part of September, you should avail yourself of the opportunity of seeing one of the Nation's best harness races, "The Little Brown Jug," which is now considered the finest race for pacers. This racing classic is held at the time of the Delaware County Fair, one of the outstanding fairs in Ohio. Here you can see displays of Delaware County's agricultural products as well as cattle, horses, sheep and hogs - convicing proof that farmers in this area are up to date in raising quality produce and that their thoroughbred stock is unexcelled. During the past 133 years, Delaware and the surrounding marketing area have been served by the Delaware Gazette, a daily newspaper with a circulation of over 5,000. Now located in its new publishing house, The Gazette keeps the citizenry of a wide area informed and serves as an ideal advertising medium. Delaware Merchants offer the best in merchandise and services, and compare favor- ably with other marketing centers. For more than a century, Delaware has been one of the outstanding cultural centers in the state because it is the home of Ohio Wesleyan University. Founded in 1842 by Meth- odist pioneers, Ohio Wesleyan has many historic spots on its main campus, including the Sulphur Spring, the Mansion House Hotel (now Elliott Hall), and a monument marking the former site of the Barber Tavern which served as General Harrison's headquarters in the War of 1812. Legend has it that it was at the Sulphur Spring that President Hayes proposed to his bride-to-be, Lucy Webb, one of Wesleyan's first co-eds.

Description An account of the resource [page 2] [corresponds to unlabeled page 2 of Delaware County Bank 1950-1975] THE DELAWARE COUNTY BANK THE FIRST 25 YEARS The idea of a new bank for the City of Delaware, Ohio first germinated in the minds of the late Clifford S. Gooding and Bernard Hatten almost simultaneously. At that time Mr. Gooding was the general manager of the Delaware Farmers Exchange Association and Bernard Hatten was one of its executive officers and board members. This was in the spring of 1948 and they lost little time in discussing the possibility of a new bank not only with friends and business asso- ciates but also with people who had made their mark in industry, farm- ing, commerce and professional life throughout the entire Delaware County area. The concept of a new bank was favorably received in all cor- ners of the county and within a short period of time an incorporating committee was formed. The members of the committee, Willis Eagon, A. L. Everitt, Richard L. Firestone, Allen Freeman, Clifford S. Good- ing, Ralph J. Gooding, Bernard Hatten, Milton L. Havens, Judge Fred A. McAllister, Will McElfresh, John H. Matthews, Elmer C. Miller, Glen W. Way, Guy A. Weiser and Paul B. White, selected Richard L. Firestone as their chairman and Bernard Hatten as their secretary. Following about 18 months of determined work and effort and involving numerous conferences with supervisory and manage- ment people of the Ohio State Banking Department and Federal De- posit Insurance Corporation along with discussions and interviews with bankers in the central and north-central Ohio area, the decision was made by the committee to file an application for a charter for a state bank with the Superintendent of Banks of Ohio. It was also determined that an application be filed at the same time with Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Finally, on May 24, 1950, the only contested hearing upon an application for a state bank chapter was held in Columbus before the State Banking Department Advisory Board. The incorporators were rep- resented by Richard L. Firestone and the opposition, The First Nation- al Bank of Delaware, was represented by General Carlton S. Dargusch and former United States Senator, James Huffman. The thrust of Fire- stone's contention that Delaware and the surrounding areas needed an- other bank was to the point that the existing bank enjoyed a virtual monopoly, that the competitive factor of another bank would be stimu- lative of economic growth and would be persuasive to many people Title A name given to the resource Delaware County Bank 1950-1975 (p. 2) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/d84ee9e920f31198a491615534615402.jpg 56f4ebf52dfa1b9581ef7d2005bd0150 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 3] [corresponds to unlabeled page 3 of Delaware County Bank 1950-1975] who had taken their banking business out of the county to return to Delaware. One of the main arguments asserted by Firestone was that the community needed a bank that was owned and controlled by local people, not just a link in a big banking chain controlled out of Colum- bus. The opposition rested its case by asserting that there were al- ready five banks in Delaware County doing an adequate job and that another bank was not needed. About a month after the hearing, notification was received from the office of the Superintendent of Banks that the State Banking Advisory Board approved the application to form a new state bank to be known as The Delaware County Bank with a capital structure con- sisting of 1000 shares of stock to be sold for $250 a share, resulting in a capitalization of $125,000, surplus of $75,000 and undivided profits of $50,000. Within a few weeks after this the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in Washington declared its approval of the new bank after another contested hearing. Articles of Incorporation of The Delaware County Bank were filed in the office of the Secretary of State of Ohio July 13, 1950. During the summer of 1950 the directors were busy traveling through- out the county to sell the shares of stock of the new bank. Arrange- ments had been made with The Huntington National Bank of Columbus through its trust department to accept the proceeds of the stock sale, issue receipts for the purchase price paid and then deliver the shares of stock of the new bank which it held in escrow. Following the sale of all the stock the first meeting of share- holders of The Delaware County Bank was held September 19, 1950 in the Willis High School Auditorium, Delaware, Ohio, and was at- tended by approximately 200 people, about two-thirds of the share- holders. At this meeting the incorporators were elected as directors. Also elected as a director was Paul P. Wax, the cashier of the Bank. The shareholders' meeting was followed by a directors' meet- ing to elect officers and the following persons were the first officers of The Delaware County Bank: Chairman of the Board - Richard L. Firestone, Attorney; President - Fred A. McAllister, Common Pleas Judge of Delaware County, Ohio; Vice President - Clifford S.

The principal ground floor tenant of The Peoples Building, The Peoples Building & Loan Association, announced in late 1949 that it was closing its offices and discontinuing business in Delaware. Gambling that the yet-to-be-filled application for a bank charter would be approved, a small group of the incorporators committed themselves to be financially responsible for the rental of the Peoples Building & Loan Company ground floor space for a period of five years or a total of $24,000, and a written lease was entered into between The Peoples Building, Inc. and Richard L. Firestone as Trustee for the space. After incorporation had been completed Mr. Firestone, as Trustee, as- signed the remaining portion of the lease to The Delaware County Bank. [photo] THE BANK, OCTOBER 7, 1950 When the lease came up for renewal and rental adjustments in 1958 negotiations were entered into at that time resulting in the pur- chase of the building by the Bank. The grand opening of The Delaware County Bank was Saturday, October 7, 1950 at its offices, 41 North Sandusky Street, Delaware, Ohio. The first banking room was a little less than one-half the first floor area of the building. It had been redecorated with light green walls, dark green drapes and natural birch counters had been installed. Somewhere near 2000 people, many of them first-time customers of the Bank, visited the Bank during its opening hours from 9:00 a,m, to 9:00 p.m. Special tellers for opening day had been recruited from The Hunt- ington National Bank of Columbus.

Firestone, was recalled to active military service in Washington, D.C. during the Korean War and President Fred A. McAllister served both as pre- sident and temporary chairman until his death in the fall of 1951. At this time the deposits of The Delaware County Bank had slightly surpassed the $2,000,000 mark which the incorporators had told the State Bank Advisory Board the Bank would reach in one year. To move along with changes of the times, interest paid on savings accounts was raised from one percent to two percent in Octo- ber of 1951. The search for a new president to succeed the late Fred A. McAllister did not take long. The unanimous choice of the directors was the remarkable Robert B. Powers, a retired Delaware banked whose family had been connected with banking in Delaware ever since 1845. [photo] ROBERT B. POWERS In 1953, when Mr. Paul Wax, the cashier of the Bank, announ- ced that he was taking other employment, the directors took the most significant step they have ever taken in bringing to the Bank from The City National Bank & Trust Company of Columbus a young, vigorous and imaginative banker -- Alfred B. Wise. With Mr. Wise running the Bank it stopped going through many years of growth and expansion and has not stopped.

Remodeling of the second floor of The Delaware County Bank Building was first started in December of 1969 so that the remodeled space could accommodate the installment loan department, bookkeep- ing and BankAmericard departments. The second remodeling of this area was made in 1974, the sec- ond floor handling not only installment loans, bookkeeping and Bank- Americard departments, but also all loans. The Board of Directors knew at the time the Bank of Galena Company was merged into The Delaware County Bank that the facili- ties in Galena for competent, modern banking service were not ade- quate for the needs of a growing community. In October of 1969 the Bank purchased for the entire north side of the Village square at Galena, Ohio and employed architectural help to design a new banking facility for the Village. Following review of the architect's designs and relo- cation of tenants in the structures purchased by the Bank, the entire north side of the square was razed. Construction of the new bank faci- lity commenced and was completed in December, 1971; a grand open- ing accompanied with the usual prizes was held on December 4.

Description An account of the resource [page 14] [corresponds to unlabeled page 14 of Delaware County Bank 1950-1975] During its 25 years of operation death has claimed a number of the original incorporators and directors of the Bank. Willis Eagon, Allen Freeman, Clifford Gooding, Bernard Hatten, Judge Fred A. Mc- Allister, Will McEfresh, Elmer Miller, Guy Weiser and Paul White, all original directors, have died. Our second president, Robert B. Powers, has passed away as well as Norman Hageman and Hoyt Whit- ney who joined the Board at the time of the mergers with The Ostrander Banking Company and The Bank of Galena Company. The Bank owes much to the services of these men and the many hours of time that they have devoted to the affairs of the Bank. During the formative and so-called struggling years of the Bank the directors served without compensation for several years. Direct- ors' meetings, the second Tuesday of each month, have been held in varying locations about the premises of the Bank but for the past 11 years the Board has met in the Directors' room on the mezzanine floor of the Bank, this room being part of the remodeling and redecoration that took place in 1964. Expansion and growth has been the story of The Delaware County Bank during these 25 years and there is no stopping it. Population trends indicate that Delaware County will keep on experiencing a surge of people moving into the south portion of the County. Your Bank con- trols a site that may be developed into some type of banking facility in Powell, Ohio, and it is taking a long, hard look in other areas of southern Delaware County to determine if additional banking facilities will be merited. The rapid rate of growth especially during the last decade brought with it the need to increase the capital of the Bank from time to time. Sales of additional bank stock were authorized and completed in 1958, 1968, 1972 and 1974. A stock dividend was distributed to stockholders at the time of each stock sale. Semi-annual cash divi- dends of varying amounts have been paid. The present dividend rate is $1 a share each six months' period. The authorized and outstand- ing shares of bank stock have increased from 1000 shares in 1950 to 48,000 shares in 1975. The personnel of the Bank has increased from about four or five people at the time the Bank started in 1950 to a present staff of about 60 persons. Over half a million dollars a year, paid to Bank employees, finds its way to stimulate business and trade throughout the whole county.

We are more than pleased with the response and sup- port which the community has given us in this re- latively short period of time. This confidence has enabled us to grow with the economy in our area and provide new and increased service to advance the development of a Greater Delaware. It is in this spirit that we open our new downtown office and dedicate our future to provide sound, progres- sive and convenient Banking Service to the people of Delaware County.

Description An account of the resource [page 3] [corresponds to unlabeled page 3 of Delaware County Bank] Temporary Quarters [cartoon reading: "TEMPORARY ENTRANCE BANK SEPT. 1963"] During the remodeling project, it was necessary that we vacate the main banking area. We were fortunate to have space in the building to estab- lish our temporary office, thus preventing a move to quarters in another building. The patience, understanding and cooperation of our customers during this period have been sincerely appreciated. The first step in the remodeling was the construc- tion of a new and more adequate vault. This work was started on July 15, 1963. The banking office was moved to the basement area in September 1963, where business was conducted in what was known as "the bargain basement." The entire re- modeling operation lasted exactly eight months to "ribbon cutting day."

Carbide street lights, steam engines and handle bar mustaches were normal sights to be seen on Sandusky Street. Construction techniques were greatly different from our modern day methods. Quality of workmanship and strength of materials in the original construction presented several problems in our remodeling program which de- layed completion.

Six- teen men organized a group of people to establish a second bank in Delaware, and were elected as the first board of directors when the bankw as char- tered. The first banking office was established in the present County Bank Building which was then the Peoples Building, and occupied less than half of the first floor area. Judge Fred J. McAlli- ster was the first president of the bank. And now [arrow] Today we are proud to open our newly remodeled Downtown Office, designed to provide for our customers' comfort, convenience, and service. The enlarged lobby and banking area occupy the entire first floor of the building plus additional space on the mezzanine and in the basement. Modern fixtures and decoration have been com- bined to contribute to the attractiveness of the downtown business area.

Description An account of the resource [page 7] [corresponds to unlabeled page 7 of Delaware County Bank] [photo] The desire to indicate the interest of the bank in activities of the community, prompted the placing of four paintings in the lobby area, representing religion, education, agriculture and the county fair which attracts attention each year to the grand circuit racing event, The Little Brown Jug. Mr. Richard A. Wengenroth, Assistant Professor of Fine Arts at Ohio Wesleyan University, has re- alistically depicted these subjects in his paintings of scenes in Delaware and the surrounding area. The choice of a local artist, talented to execute this idea for the bank, underscores the resolution of interest in the community which fostered the founding of the Home Owned, Home Controlled Bank in Delaware.

A New and Larger Vault, equipped with the most mod- ern alarm system and protective vault door has been constructed to protect the money, records and valuable personal property of our customers. The new Walk-Up Window in the vestibule will be open for after-hour deposit and loan payment trans- actions. The vestibule also encloses a new 24 Hour Night Depository, protected from the weather and well lighted for depositing bags or envelopes when the bank is closed. The new conference room will afford privacy for the closing of loans, opening of depository boxes in estate matters or other business of a confidential nature.

Description An account of the resource [page 5] [corresponds to unlabeled page 4 of Delaware County Historical Society] The Ohio Historical Society THE OHIO STATE MUSEUM, COLUMBUS 10 The Ohio Historical Society congratulates the Delaware County Hist- orical Society on the opening of its new historical museum. We all know that historical societies are born to preserve the history of a given geo- graphical area. But now, within your grasp is a means for interpreting that history to your community. In opening a museum you have assumed some heavy responsibilities, and there will be, as you have no doubt already discovered, a variety of problems. Having a museum is not always easy. It means work, hard work, and the cooperation of many. Yet, observing the mixture of fasci- nation, wonderment and joy in the faces of young visitors is a rich ample reward. With a museum you have a truly important line of communication to those you wish to reach - children, adults, prospective members and par- ticipants in the program of the Delaware County Historical Society. Plan wisely and demonstrate that the museum is vital to the Delaware Com- munity. With a well-worn path to the museum door you will not lack com- munity support. The Ohio Historical Society has a deep interest in your society and museum, as it has with any similar group in Ohio. May we sincerely offer whatever assistance we can give. On this memorable occasion marking the opening of your new hist- orical museum, again congratulations and best wishes. We believe that in many ways this opening marks also the beginning of a new era in the history of Delaware County. Erwin C.

Description An account of the resource [page 6] [corresponds to unlabeled page 5 of Delaware County Historical Society] This is a happy day that I welcome you to the opening of the new home and museum of the Delaware County Historical Society. When our Society was founded in 1947, the charter members had great visions of making it a means of preserving some of the material things of historical significance which are a part of our Delaware County heritage. In our struggle to keep this Society alive, it has been our sincere desire to have a museum and to have members from all parts of Delaware County take a real and active part. Today, we have seen much of that vision become a reality. It was from her sincere desire to serve this Society and Delaware County that Miss Pauline Nash contributed her family home as our museum. One room in this museum has been set aside as the Eugene Nash Memorial Room in honor of her father, who was a collector of Delaware County hist- orical items. We all thank Miss Nash for her gracious gift. In the last nine months, much has been accomplished toward the condi- tioning of this home as a museum. We have much left to do; however, from this simple beginning as you see it today, we welcome you, and may you be inspired to take a more active interest in the advancement and growth of this Society.

Description An account of the resource [page 7] [corresponds to page 6 of Delaware County Historical Society] DELAWARE COUNTY'S HISTORICAL SOCIETIES The first mention we have found of an historical society in Delaware County is an article written by D. W. C. Lugenbeel in the Delaware Gazette, for August 31, 1909. Here stated that "The Colonization Society was organized in 1832 with Mr. Hosea Williams as President." No men- tion was made of activities or programs of the society. The 1880 History of Delaware County (p. 203) states that "About the year 1870, an effort was made to reorganize a pioneer association in the county, but as a society, it has never amounted to much. One or two meetings were held, officers elected, and a Fourth of July picnic dinner (arranged). This constituted the bulk of its proceedings." Rev. J. D. VanDeman was elected Chairman, and Eugene Powell, Secretary, of a temporary committee of fifteen. The Hon. Thomas W. Powell gave the address of the occasion. The Hon. O. D. Hough was elected permanent president of the Pioneer Association of Delaware County. Some perma- nent committees were named and some activities outlined for them. The only meeting bsides the picnic known to have been held was on "the last day of the County Fair," in October, 1871, over a year later. There must have been some effort made to revive the society, per- iodically, for the Delaware Gazette, in an article, September 3, 1909, quoted the "last letter written to Delaware County by General Rosen- crans." It was addressed to D. W. C. Lugenbeel, and read: "I am sorry that I see no present prospect of being able to meet the Delaware County Pioneer Association, at Delaware, August 1, 1891. In a life of seventy- one years, I have had no time to revive memories which cluster around the home of my childhood. . . The desire to do this is so strong that I have still a hope that I may be able to gratify my wishes some day. Meanwhile, I am Very Respectfully Yours, W. S. Rosencrans." * Another letter in the same article, dated almost a year later, was referred to as the last letter written by President Hayes to his birthplace. It was also addressed to D. W. C. Lugenbeel, Secretary, and stated: "Absence from home for two weeks. . . prevented me from seeing your favor of the 18th of July until too late for acceptance of its invitation. With best wishes, Yours, etc., Rutherford B. Hayes." On February 8, 1906, some citizens of the county met at the office of Mr. H. E. Buck and formed The Delaware County Historical and Archaeolo- gical Society. The following trustees were elected: Henry Buck, Frank L. Grove, D. L. Ziegler, Joseph Gross, J. L. Smith, J. B. Taggart. The first named was to serve a six-year term, the others five, four, etc., as listed. Mr. J. L. Smithwwas elected president, D. L. Ziegler, vice president, Frank L. Grove, Secretary, Joseph Gross, Treasurer, and J. B. Taggart, Curator. Meetings were held every Monday and the last entry in the minutes was made on April 26, 1910. This book is now (1955) in the custody of the Delaware County District Library. 6 Title A name given to the resource Delaware County Historical Society (p. 7) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/a9271796cfe17c6a5ef78bacf25ce903.jpg 7df231612dbb068566fe4e04e3bac89f Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Cole, a number of persons interested in the history of Delaware County, past and present, met in the old Marlborough Church on October 12, 1947. Previously, in May, 1947, a group had tenta- tively organized the Marlborough Historical Society, but it was decided that this should be enlarged to include the whole of Delaware County, and to change the name to The Delaware County Historical Society. The first meet- ing of the new society was held in October; the constitution written and the society incorporated in November. On November 17, 1947, the first officers were elected. It was approved that the officers of the disbanded Marlbor- ough Society be the officers of the new Delaware County Historical Society; Mr. Wilbur J. Main, president, and Mrs. Walter S. Cole, secretary. The group had no treasurer, so Mrs. Edgar Nichols was elected to that office. The organization grew slowly, with much interest in the telling of past history, but with no financial backing or foundation with which to acquire a home for the society and/or a place to house and display the gifts of relics and records that it was hoped would come to the society for preservation. A number of papers, records and books were promised to various members for the society at such time as permanent housing would be available. In the summer of 1954 Miss Pauline Nash offered her home at 157 E. William Street to the Delaware County Historical Society for a museum. After a number of meetings by the officers and trustees in August 1954, this offer was accepted on an annuity basis. This was made possible by an annual allotment of funds from the County Commissioners, as stated in Ohio law. Work of getting the house in order for a museum was slow, but the enthusiasm of the members never lagged. Now, with the opening of a museum nearly eight years after organization, is the real beginning. The Society has a place to house and display some tangible evidences of Dela- ware County's past. The present must not be forgotten - it is tomorrow's past. Presidents have been: Wilbur J. Main, George Pugh, Robert Powers, Thomas Graham, and Wyford Jones; secretaries: Mrs. Walter S. Cole, Thomas Graham, and Mrs. William F. Hahnert; corresponding secretaries: Mrs. Walter S. Cole, M. S. Cherington; treasurers: Mrs. Edgar Nichols and Bernard Hatten. On October 20, 1947, with Fred Wicham as attorney, the incorporators of this society were: W. J. Main, John McClure Snook and Genevieve Cole. Trustees named on the charter are: Dave Sherwood, Lucille Canfield, Thomas A. Price, Cleo Scott, L. A. McMillan, Milton Utley, R. B. Powers, Leland Fisher, Genevieve Cole, Elizabeth Weaver, and John McClure Snook. The document of incorporation bears the seal of the State of Ohio, the signature of Edward J. Hummel, Secretary of State, and the date November 3, 1947.

Description An account of the resource [page 9] [corresponds to page 8 of Delaware County Historical Society] THIS DAY, MAY 22, 1955, is the official opening of the newly acquired museum of the Delaware County Historical Society, and the second annual pilgrimage planned by the Society. We welcome guests from all over our State. This museum, located on West William Street, State Route 42, has been the Nash home since 1885. It is a two story red brick home with seven rooms, built in 1876. The front porch was added at a later date. The spindles of the railing on the porch were originally in the railing of the City Council chambers. The interior of the home has been redecorated for this occasion - and for the museum. The front hall has an open winding stairway with black walnut stair rail and newell posts. The museum will show materials designed to stimulate community interest in local history. They will tell the story of the past of our county. The displays will vary from time to time. The historical col- lections of Mr. Nash will be kept intact in the Eugene P. Nash Memorial Room. The rest of the house will be devoted to Delaware County. Some few pieces of furniture have been acquired. The oldest, perhaps, is a desk over which the first taxes of Delaware County were paid. Some old, or primitive tools have been donated, with old guns, pictures, maps, and a few pieces of wearing apparel. There is equipment for spinning and weaving, as well as dental equipment for an early dentist's office and a number of children's toys. The building was built in 1876 by John Slattery, the grandfather of Dr. George Parker. It was acquired by our Society in 1954 by annuity gift from Miss Pauline Nash, the owner. Deeds in the posession of the society show these owners: December 9, 1865 Carolyn Graff to John Graff. August 1, 1876 Christopher & Emily M. Potter to John Slattery. August 1, 1876 from John and Mary Slattery to Thomas Slattery. February 9, 1881 John C. Graff & wife to Anna Shindoler. August 4, 1882 Thomas Slattery to Mrs. Anna Hutchins August 12, 1882 Anne Hutchins to Sam Hutchins August 3, 1885 Samuel and Sarah A. Hutchins to William Henry Nash for a consideration of $2400.00. February 13, 1915 heirs of William Henry Nash to Eugene P. Nash. June 29, 1929 Eugene P. Nash to Lois C. Nash.

Description An account of the resource [page 10] [corresponds to page 9 of Delaware County Historical Society] THE NASH FAMILY [photo of Pauline Nash] The name "Nash" is supposed to be a corruption of atten-ash, at the Ash; Naish, place near Bristol, England. The family, like its name, is of Saxon origin, and were resident in England prior to the Norman Conquest of 1066. The name is found at early dates in the counties of Oxford, Worcester, London, Suffolk and Lancaster, as well as in Ulster, Ireland and Wales at the end of the sixteenth cen- tury. The families came to the eastern shores of the United States. The Dela- ware county family are in direct line of descent from these families. Eugene P. Nash, son of William Henry and Emmeline (Williams) Nash, was interested in collecting old Dela- ware County relics such as, Bibles, hand-made linens, badges, news- papers, fractional currency, samplers, items from President Hayes' birthplace, Indian relics, etc. Eugene Nash married Lois Cole, May 25, 1893 and they came to Delaware from Berlin Township. Lois Cole, the daughter of Captain Elias Cole, Delaware County Treasurer for many years, was an accomplished seamstress. She was highly re- garded as a dressmaker, and her list of patrons included the best dressed women of the 1890's. Two interesting items from her journal read: "December 12, 1892. This morning at 4:45 Father and I started over East to collect taxes. . Olive Green. . to Sunbury and put up at the Paul Hotel. Dec. 13 . . . to Centervillage. Dec. 14. . collected at Galena and had dinner at Mrs. Johnson's. Dec. 15, collected at Sunbury. . and came home reaching our destination at 8:15." . . . "June 23, 1899. We got ready to go . . to the laying of the cornerstone of the Masonic Temple. It was so warm, 101 in the shade."* The only child of Eugene and Lois Nash is Pauline Nash, donor of the Museum. Miss Nash is an expert in many phases of handicraft, including ceramics, quilting and weaving. She was Delaware County's first Red Cross Gray Lady, is a member of the First Baptist Church, the George L. Behrens Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star, the Beta Sigma Phi, and has served for many years as a volunteer Home Service Secretary of the County Red Cross unit. Anna C.

Description An account of the resource [page 11] [corresponds to page 10 of Delaware County Historical Society] GRANGE HISTORY January 13, 1866, Oliver H. Kelly started on a trip through the South and conceived the idea of a fraternity of farmers to restore agriculture and united once more the north and south. December 4, 1867 is recognized as the birthday of the Grange when a formal session of founders was held at Washington D.C. and the National Grange was organized and officers elected. April 9, 1873, the Ohio State Grange was organized at Lebanon, Ohio, with S. H. Ellis as State Master. It now has over 900 local groups with a mem- bership of 177,900. Delaware County has a membership of 2100 in its local granges. The Grange includes all family membership and through demo- cratic organization encourages rural people working together for the benefits of farm life. Floyd Weaver [newspaper clipping] 137th Year Started By The Gazette Today Today's issue of the Delaware Gazette is No. 1 of Vol. 137. The first newspaper was pub- lished here in 1818 by two min- isters, Jacob Drake, a Baptist, and Josiah Hughes, a Presbyter- ian. Early editions were printed on coarse, yellow paper and were only four columns wide. On Sept. 24, 1821, The Gazette became the property of Ezra Griswold, publisher in Columbus and Worthington, and the next issue on Oct. 10, 1821 appeared as the "Delaware Patron and Frank- lin Chronicle." Subsequent name changes labeled it as the "Dela- ware Patron and Sandusky Ad- vertiser" until May 13, 1830, and then "Ohio State Gazette and Delaware County Journal." Griswold sold the paper in 1834 to George W. Sharpe who called it the "Olentangy Gazette." In that year, Sharpe invited a rela- tive, Abram Thomson, to come from Maryland to be his partner and two years later Thomson be- came sole owner, changing the name back to the original one, "The Delaware Gazette," which has continued to the present day. With the exception of six years, 1865 to 1871, sole ownership of the newspaper has remained in the Thomson family. During that time, Capt. Alfred E. Lee, who served with distinction in the Civil War, owned a half-interest. The present editor and publish- er, Walter Dunlap Thomson, and his son Henry Clay Thomson II, general manager, are the third and fourth generations. In 1884, The Gazette changed from a semi-weekly to a daily paper. A separate edition of interest to rural readers was published semi- weekly until 1930. DELAWARE, O.

Description An account of the resource [page 12] [corresponds to page 11 of Delaware County Historical Society] IN THE BEGINNING. . . . It is believed that Central Ohio was inhabited by the Mound Builders over 800 years before the Indians. There are several examples of these mounds in the county but there is no trace of language, history, or anything that would give a clue as to where they came from and where they went. The contents of the mounds often suggest origins in New England, Florida, Mexico and Peru. The Indians who came later had no knowledge or tradi- tion concerning them. The Indians who were here when the first white set- tlers arrived, were the Delaware, the Shawanees and the Mingoes, and per- haps small groups of other tribes. It was not until after the second Treaty of Greenville in 1814 that the Indians left this area. The first settlement in the county was made May 1, 1801 on the east bank of the Olentangy, five miles below Delaware (now Liberty Township) by Nathan Carpenter and Avery Powers, from Chenango County, New York. In April 1802, Thomas Cellar and Josiah McKinney, from Franklin County, Pennsylvania, settled two miles lower down the river. In the fall of 1803, Henry Perry and David Pugh, from Wales, made a clearing and put up a cabin in Radnor, three-fourths of a mile from Delhhi. Then in the fall of 1804, Colonel Moses Byxbe and his company from Berk- shire, Massachusetts, settled on Alum Creek and named their settlement Berkshire. Col. Byxbe was considered wealthy for his day and owned 8000 acres here that he had obtained through the purchase of land warrants from the Revolutionary soldiers. He brought quite a company with him and al- though he established and laid out the first town in the county it became of little importance. Berlin Township was settled next in 1805 by George Cowgill on part of 4000 acres owned by Byxbe and later that same year Philander Hoadley, David Isaac, and Chester Lewis settled on part of 4000 acres owned by Joseph Constant. Asa Scott was the first treasurer of the township and gave it its name. An early settlement was made by a native of Wales, Richard Hoskins, his wife and seven children when they started a home on Boke's Creek, in Scioto Township in 1806. This was followed by many others in the next few years. Genoa was settled in 1807 by Marcus Curtis and Elisha Newell from Connecticut, and William Cox came later from Pennsylvania. In Kingston Twp., George Hess and John Philips came from Pennsylvania in 1807, and James, Stark, John Rosecrans, Daniel Rosecrans and David Taylor in 1809. It was in Kingston Twp. that the famed Civil War General, W. S. Rosecrans was born. Delaware Township and City was slow in getting settled. In 1807, James Barber built a cabin near the Sulphur Springs where he kept a Tavern. Shortly Col. Byxbe and some of his friends came in from Berkshire and laid out the town of Delaware. The county was organized in 1808. With Col. Byx- be were William Little, Dr. Lamb, Solomon Smith, Elder Jacob Drake, Thomas Butler, and Ira Carpenter. That same year Byxbe built the first 11 Title A name given to the resource Delaware County Historical Society (p. 12) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/c8b59c9468302f81030cc1c1103c92bf.jpg 23ada8f5f447f64619529ca4ec24aa8c Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

In 1807 settlements were made in several other townships. Marl- borough was settled by Jacob Foust near the forks of the Whetstone, then Ariel Strong and a couple named Swinington, and the next year, Nathaniel Wyatt and William Brundage settled in Marlbourough. William Perfect and Mordecai Thomas chose Trenton Township for a home site. Benijah Cook and a man named Thomson settled in Harlem Township. Porter Township was settled by Christopher and Ebenezer Linberger from western Pennsyl- vania, and later by Joel Z. Mendenhall. They all located around Olive Green. In About 1808 Joab Norton moved into Orange Township. He started the first tannery in the county and also could make shoes. Sometime after 1809, Brown Township was settled by Daniel G. Thurston, F. Cowgill and Stephen Goram, on the west bank of Alum Creek. Ezra and Comfort Olds moved into Oxford Township in 1810, coming from Sunbury. Then came John and Henry Foust from Marlborough. The Olds cabin was only one room, 20 feet square, and there were six persons in the Olds family. That fall a family named Clark arrived, and the Olds' took the nine Clarks in with them, making fifteen persons in this one room cabin. Concord Twp. started with the coming of George Hill from Pennsylvania in 1811. He built his cabin just north of where the old Mansion House of the White Sul- phur Springs was later to be located in 1842 by Nathaniel Hart. Still later this was bought by the State, in 1869, for "The State Reform School for Girls." Christopher Freshwater came with Hill. Thompson Township was settled in 1809 by Samuel Weaver, then in 1816 John Cochrane came from Pennsylvania. Eleazer Main settled in the area that is now Troy Twp. in 1812, but soon left for service in the War of 1812. Lyman Main was another early settler, as well as Joseph Cole, David Dix, John Duncan and William Norris, who came from old Virginia. In these early days there were no roads, only trails, and the settlers built their own mills for grinding grain, saw mills for lumber, tanneries for leather. Sometimes a blacksmith shop, a store, or a tavern was started as it was a hard trip to go without products to sell, or supplies to buy, from such distant points as Franklinton and Chillicothe. It is interesting to note that the first settlement made in Delaware County was 154 years ago this month, on the east bank of the Olentangy River in Liberty Township. Captain Nathan Carpenter arrived from New York on May 1, 1801. He brought his family and about 20 young men who wanted to see this new country. Some of them later became prominent settlers. Captain Carpenter erected a cabin on what was recently the Eli Long farm, two miles south of Stratford. The land was purchased last year by The Greif Bros. Cooperage Coporation which is now restoring that first cabin as an historical monument. 12 Title A name given to the resource Delaware County Historical Society (p. 13) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/065d4d21dcc76205de7e32704557f853.jpg 18f055ade27f49d6249a41534136b6cc Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 14] [corresponds to page 13 of Delaware County Historical Society] Nathan Carpenter sold his New York estate and made the long, hazardous journey into Ohio (requiring two months, 18 days) for the same reason that many Ohioans now dispose of their property and travel to California or Florida to live. Carpenter went up on the roof of his house in New York one winter morning to shovel off snow, "a frequent necessity in that climate." When he descended, he told his wife that he had decided to leave that land of hills and snowbanks and go to the wonderful Ohio. Another early settler of Liberty Township, George Cruikshank, who came here from Salem, New York in 1815, had similar feelings about the climate he left behind. In a letter dated August 30, 1816, George wrote to his brother, Peter, in Salem, telling him how he had purchased 500 acres of "the best land you ever saw" out here in Ohio, with a comfortable log house and a stable, 12 acres cleared and fenced, at $4 an acre. "For mercy sake," George's letter continued, "when you hear this, pull up stakes like a man and leave that frozen and inhospitable land where the winter consumes all the summer doth yield. . . I could say many more things to induce you to leave that dreary land for the sake of coming to this garden of the world.!" Contributors: Dr. M. E. Cherington, Mrs. Harvey Cruikshank. THE DELAWARE GRAPE brought fame and some fortune to Delaware County and Countians. About the year 1850 is was found growing along the banks of the Scioto. A Mr. Heath had brought it from New Jersey years before. Mr. Abram Thomson of the Delaware Gazette, discovered its superior merits, and its introduction created a furore in the grape-growing circles. The prices for grape-vines ranged from $1.00 to even $5.00. It did require proper soil and great skill to produce it properly, so some inexperience growers were disappointed. However, its fame brought Delaware County fame. 13 Title A name given to the resource Delaware County Historical Society (p. 14) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/c3550b33ffe34dadff6a2fef55787d2c.jpg 3491da348b620609c243526d28650a1f Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 15] [corresponds to page 14 of Delaware County Historical Society] DELAWARE'S CHURCHES The first of the several churches in Delaware was the Presbyterian which was organized in 1810. They built a church in 1825, rebuilt in 1843, and remodeled extensively in 1874. St. Peter's Episcopal congre- gation was organized in 1817. They built a church in 1825, and rebuilt in 1844, their present church. The William Street Methodist Episcopal Church was organized in 1818. Their first church building in Delaware was erected by the Metho- dists in 1822, across Franklin Street from the present location. The second church was built on the present site in 1846, and the present church was built in 1888. St. Paul's Methodist Church, organized in 1852, Grace Church, in 1860, and Asbury Church, in 1888, took their beginning from the church membership of William Street Church. St. Mark's Evangelical Lutheran Church was organized in 1821. In the early days a minister came once a month from Columbus and preached twice on a Sunday, once in German and once in English. In 1834, the Lutheran congregation, assisted by the unorganized Reformed people, built a stone church on the southeast corner of William and Henry Streets. In 1852, the Lutheran people sold their interest in the church to the Reformed congregation, which had been organized in 1836, and the Lutherans built their stone church on East William Street. In 1856, the Reformed people replaced their stone building with a brick church which served them until damaged by the flood of 1913, after which they built their church at Central Avenue and Franklin Street. The German Methodists organized in 1836, and built in 1854, the brick building on the northeast corner of University Avenue and Washington Street. They existed as a separate conference for some years and then joined with the larger M.E. Conference. The Welsh Congregational Church was organized in 1841. In 1844, they built a brick church on West Winter Street on what is now West School grounds. Services were conducted in Welsh until 1870. The Baptist Church was organized in 1853, after having had lay mini- sters since about 1810 or 1812. They built their church on the present site in 1858. It was extensively remodeled about 1909. St. Mary's Church was organized about 1850. They built, in 1854, a frame church on University Avenue, west of Sandusky Street. In 1890, they built their present church on East William Street. Delaware now has nine- teen different churches.

Description An account of the resource [page 16] [corresponds to page 15 of Delaware County Historical Society] DELAWARE'S SCHOOLS Education in Delaware from the founding in 1807 to 1815 was conduc- ted by parents in their homes. Morgan Academy opened in 1815 as a tui- tion school but closed after a few years. Several private schools provided schooling from 1815 to 1825 when the first state law provided for a 1/2 mill tax for educational purposes. Population of Delaware up to that time was under 500 people. The main concern was for primary education. Among the interesting people who founded and conducted private schools were Mr. James B. Weaver, 1821; Capt. Murray, 1823; John A. Quitman, 1823; Miss Sophia Moore and Mr. Richard Murray, 1825; Mr. Asa Mes- senger, 1827; Albert Pickett, 1834; Horatio Seymour, 1834; Mrs. Howison and Miss Johnson, 1832, and Mrs. Sprague, 1832. Under the 1825 state school law, a stone school house on the south- west corner of Franklin and Winter Streets and a frame school on the northwest corner of the court house lot were built. Miss Eliza T. Thomp- son, later Mrs. William Carson, was the first teacher for the primary pupils. In 1834 citizens built Delaware Academy on University Avenue as a tuition school for older pupils. It failed soon but much later became a public school. Central School for older pupils was opened in 1846 as a result of an improved Ohio law for schools in 1847. It was the rebuilt old William St. Church and continued until 1859. Mr. Lucius P. Marsh, 24 years of age was the first superintendent of schools. In 1859, Central School was trans- ferred to a new building where West School is located now. In 1865, James S. Campbell became superintendent and continued until 1891. In 1869, a North School of 4 rooms was constructed, and in 1870 an East School of 4 rooms. In 1875 a six-room building was built in south Delaware. Rooms were added to all later. A high school was built on Winter Street in the 1880's, West replaced Central in 1904 and East was rebuilt in 1913. North and Woodward were built in 1950. Willis High School was dedicated on October 16, 1932. (Woodward School replaced South School and took the name of Laura Woodward, beloved principal of the school.) In 1879 the enumeration of the school age youth was 2300. Teachers numbered 25. The budget was $13,500, and the school tax was just over 3 mills. Some over 1100 pupils were in schools. Pupils averaged over 50 per room. Delaware High School's first commencement exercises were held on June 22, 1877 for 16 graduates. The 1955 graduating class has over 100. 1956 will see the completion of a new elementary school in Delaware, remodeling on East and West, added rooms on Woodward and North, making five elementary schools, one high school, and one parochial school.

Description An account of the resource [page 18] [corresponds to page 18 of Delaware County Historical Society] DELAWARE COUNTY SCHOOLS The schools of Delaware County are closely related to the life and service of Henry Thomas Main, who served as county superintendent of schools from 1926 to 1937. During his office, he witnessed the change from one room to centralized schools. In 1882, Mr. Main began his teaching career in the one-room school in Marlborough Township, Number 5, at the age of 17. There was only a winter term and the teacher boarded around in turn at the homes of his students, and received a salary of $18 a month. From this township school, Mr. Main went to Ashley where he taught in the old school build- ing which is now the ribbon factory owned by R. B. Powers. In 1892, he became the principal of South School in Delaware. In 1908, he served as principal of Delaware High School, then in 1920, as superintendent of the Delaware schools. While principal, he was president of the Central Ohio Teachers' Association. In earlier days, he served on the Boxwell examination committee with Milton Utley and Ira Gregory. It was necessary for the students to pass this examination if they wished more than an elementary education without paying tuition. He also served on the examining board of the city and county teachers, as well as an executive for the County Institute of Teachers as long as it was held. He gave fifty-one years of unselfish ser- vice to the betterment of public schools in which he so firmly believed and so much loved. Forrest Main Lawrence DELAWARE COUNTY LIBRARY Through the vision of a small group of interested women the local library was established. It was originally organized as a municipal li- brary, but in 1951 was changed to a county district library serving every citizen of Delaware County. In addition, the bookmobile, serves twelve county schools, and adults at designated stops, as well as the Sarah Moore Home in Delaware. In 1954 the Library lent 98,589 books and magazines, which was 2,757 more than in 1953. The library lent 258 motion picture films to groups and individuals. This included 412 showings to audiences totaling 15,074. Children may participate in a summer reading project, as well as benefit from a Children's Librarian, and story hour period. Cooperation is given to individuals, clubs and organizations throughout the county both in supplying material and in helping plan programs, provide speakers, and on occasion furnishing a meeting place. A Young Adult Heritage Discus- sion Group was organized last year. It is one of eight such groups conduc- ted in Ohio Libraries during the past year. The services of the Library to the community and county are unlimited.

Description An account of the resource [page 19] [corresponds to page 19 of Delaware County Historical Society] TOWN AND COLLEGE Nature and geological evolution determined the location of our Dela- ware Sulphur Spring, a natural phenomenon formerly far more famed than it is today, and the existence of the spring determined the location and origin of Ohio Wesleyan University. The steps in the process are unique and interesting. Long a restful and refreshing haunt of buffalo, deer, and Indian, about a century and a quarter ago the spring, because of its "salubrious and health giving, although oderiferious water," and its nearness to the little village of Delaware, gave rise to the Mansion House Hotel. The hotel in turn was to become Elliott Hall, the first building of Ohio Wesleyan. The boom days of President Andrew Jackson and the enterprise of two men. one Columbus Kent and Thomas W. Powell, an outstanding figure in Dela- ware history, had built what was for that day an imposing hotel structure. For a few years this health resort and the sulphur bath houses that grew up around it attained a certain notoriety, and a degree of gay, "world- ly" social life, and patrons came from distant parts to this "Saratoga of the West." But the hazards of frontier economy and in particular the great panic of 1837 in the administration of Martin VanBuren, brought bankruptcy and failure to the ambitious effort. Then came the important steps: The raising, by Delaware citizens, headed by Adam Poe, the pastor of William Street Church, of ten thousand dollars to purchase the title and turn the bankrupt hotel into a Methodist college; the adoption of this program by Methodist leaders; the obtaining, in 1842, of a charter; and, in 1844, the opening of college classes - Nov- ember 13, a great day in college and town history. In 1853, in the Little Mansion at the head of Winter Street, the beginnings of the girls' school, the Ohio Wesleyan Female College, took place, and later was extended and called Monnett Hall. The establishment, not only of the men's university, but also of the girls' college, was to a large degree the work of Delaware citizens. The greatest step came in 1877 with the union of the two schools and Ohio Wesleyan was launched on its significant coeducational career. The list of names of those Delaware townsmen who were intimately connected with the founding of both colleges is too long to record here; however, there are such family names as Powers, Little, Hills, Welch, VanDeman, Powell, Williams, Pettibone, Joy, and Thomson. The only college names that can be here mentioned for those formative years (up to 1900), are those of the four presidents: Edward Thomson, Frederick Merrick, Charles H. Payne, and James W. Bashford. In return for what the town did for the college, what has the college in those decades and later, done for the town? Besides bringing students by the thousands and spreading the name of Delaware throughout the world, college professors and administrators have held municipal office, have served in the City Council, have promoted city improvements, reform, and welfare agencies, and have even held the office of mayor. At the risk of making serious omission, the following names may be listed as outstanding 19 Title A name given to the resource Delaware County Historical Society (p. 19) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/67b38fd365911863a79c735717a62927.jpg e404e2f6b1a01b861eb4f788d9d80319 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

"Town and Gown" may have experienced instances of friction in the form of pranks by over-exhuberant collegians, but in general the spirit of town and college has been cooperative. Article by H. C. Hubbart "49-ers" Forty-eight years after the discovery of gold in California. Jerome Boynton wrote an account of the "Gallant 49ers." The Delaware Mutual Protection Co., under Capt. Joseph Storm and D. N. Darlington, left Delaware April 1, 1849. They arrived at Placerville, Calif. after three and one-half months of weary travel without the loss of a single man. They pitched their tents near the banks of Webber Creek, where gold was discovered. A dairy written by Rev. Lemuel Herbert tells of another party with accounts from April 2, 1850 to July 20, 1850. In this group were two women, Mrs. L. H. and Mrs. R. P. Ranney. These gold seekers were cap- tured by Indians but released when given a bright colored vest by George Pugh. Records show more than 150 Delaware County 49-ers.

There is little doubt that Nathan Carpenter built the first mill in Liberty Township about 1804. The old stone mill was about a mile north of town on the Olentangy, then called the Whetstone. Nathaniel Hall built a mill about 1808 on Alum Creek in Berlin Township near the present Delaware and Sunbury Road. In 1818 E. Barrett & Co. started a woolen mill along the Olentangy just north of the Central Avenue bridge. On the Scioto river, grist mills were located at Millville, now Warrensburg, and at Cone's mill farther north. Moses Byxbe built a dam across the river north of Central Avenue and along the mill race on the west bank he erected a grist and saw mill, and shortly afterwards a woolen mill. Sometime later on the opposite bank, Judge Powell and Hawes & Brigham built the large stone building, still standing, to manufacture products from flax, then extensively used. They also made twine and cotton bagging. They went under in the panic of 1872 and the buildings were acquired by the Delaware Chair Company, which made double cane-seated chairs. To extract the oil from the flax seed, J. A. Barnes built the substantial stone building at the northwest corner of Winter and Lake Streets. A paper mill was established by Caleb Howard at Stratford in 1830. It operated until 1872 and at one time was considered the most important paper mill west of the Alleghenies. The Delaware Fence Company was organized in 1868 by A. J. Rich- ards and Eugene Powell. Some of their product did enclose the court house grounds. When taken down it was moved to the county home grounds, but has recently been removed from there. Col. Byxbe had a still in the cellar of his grist mill, another still was built by Dr. Reuben Lamb on the Delaware run nearly opposite the spot where Edwards Gymnasium now stands. Joab Norton built the first tannery in Delaware in 1809 just north of the Edwards Gymnasium location. The cigar makign business started in Delaware County in the early 1850's, with Charles Wottring as the pioneer. The oldest and largest firm was The Riddle Graff & Co. Mr. Christian Riddle learned his trade with Mr. Wootring, then in 1866, formed his own firm as a partnership with John Liebenderfer and Jacob Bolinger. This firm purchased the Wootring business and the following year Mr. Riddle withdrew from the firm. This firm continued with some personnel changes until the early 80's when it was assigned to Charles Wootring who closed it. After Mr. Riddle withdrew from the firm, he started his own, in 1867, doing a small business. It is said that the first 100 cigars he shipped went to a man in Galion, Ohio, who never paid for them. In the early 70's George L. Graff became a partner and the name Riddle & Graff was adopted and then in 1874 LeRoy W. Battenfield became a partner and 23 Title A name given to the resource Delaware County Historical Society (p. 21) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/5603648b63de18335b36bd8117de3ea1.jpg ca756d0b5f18b44eab6a087ff3cece21 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 22] [corresponds to page 24 of Delaware County Historical Society] the name was changed to Riddle Graff & Co. Mr. Graff retired from the firm in the early 90's. Their office and factory were located at 10 N. Sandusky St. This three story building was erected in 1878 and the com- pany employed from 120 to 150 cigar-makers, to whom were paid between $35,000 and $40,000 annually in wages. Their production of cigars each year was from six to eight millions, and five traveling salesmen were employed to secure sales in about six of the surrounding states. This business proved to be the largest of its kind in the state and continued until January 1, 1923 when Mr. Riddle retired after 56 years of active ser- vice. He was an active civic worker, director and president of the Deposit Banking and one of the founders of the Peoples Building and Loan Company. He was among those authorizing the building of the structures which housed these businesses. Other cigar makers were the J. Hessnauer & Co., Pfiffner and Hessnauer, The Delaware Co-Operative Cigar Co., Grasser and Haas, Wm. Hanitsch and Wells Brothers. The only cigar box manufac- turer in the county was Charles M. Ulrey who started in the early 80's and turned out around 500 boxes a day which were almost all used in this county. The Delaware Underwear Company was organized by W. A. Morrison in 1902 and was located in the building directly north of what is now Edgar Hall. About 1908 the company erected the building which is now Edgar Hall and the name of the company was changed to the Delaware Garment Co. They manufactured women's outing gowns, cotton dresses and skirts, and employed about 150 people. Later a branch factory in Galena manufactured outing flannel gowns. During the 1913 flood the water rose to the height of 7 1/2 feet in the building and some 600 dozen gowns, stored in the wareroom, were dried on the Wesleyan front campus. In 1918 W. A. Morrison sold his interest and established the Morrison Dry Goods Co. J. L. Anderson became president of the Garment Company and Robert Cellars and H. C. Kent were directors. In 1922 the company was liquidated and the building was sold to Ohio Wes- leyan and called Edgar Hall. There have been Delaware factories producing steam engines, iron fence, and farm wagons, as well as foundries and planing mills. The Dela- ware Clay Company manufactures brick. We now have Denison Engineering Co., Delaware Lumber Co. (sucker rods); Delaware Screw Products (mach- ine screws); Greif Bos. Cooperage Co. (barrels, offices only); Hughes Keenan Corp. (truck bodies); Industrial Canvas Co. (canvas products); A. C. Miller Co. (handles); Parker Products Co. (auto creepers); Ranco Co., (thermostats); Sunray Stove Co., H. H. Rardon Co. (caskets); Scioto Lime & Stone Co., Valves & Presses, Pennsylvania Salt Mfg. Co. (chemical specialities); Galena Tile & Shale Co., The Nestles Co. of Sunbury (choco- late products). The earliest existence of banking on record in Delaware County was in 1817 when two banks of issue were organized, but, failing to obtain State charters, were soon dissolved. 24 Title A name given to the resource Delaware County Historical Society (p. 22) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/7e7144068b4d57ce456affa1830bbfe5.jpg 518bb3eab202635f7bc8830513a77d4d Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Officers were Judge Hosea Williams, president, and Benjamin Powers, cashier. In March 1865 the business was transferred to The Delaware County National Bank and continued until January 1905, when the named was changed to The Delaware National Bank. On April 4, 1931 a new bank, the Delaware County National Bank, acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of The Delaware National Bank which was liquidated. This bank was merged with The First National Bank of Delaware on March 15, 1939.

G. Dickerson, Charles Kunze, D. W. Jones and C. W. Humes (only one now living). Temporary officers were: T. L. Oswald, chairman, and Ber- nard Hatten, secretary, and they sold the first ten shares of $100 par, with payment of $10 on each subscription in order to raise the $100. needed for the incorporation fee. The preliminary work was under the guidance of the first Agriculture Agent of Delaware County, Forrest G. Ketner. The first officers and directors elected were: C. C. Dunlap, president; T. L. Oswald, vice president; Bernard Hatten, secretary; Ashton S. Conklin, treasurer; Lewis Slack, W. W. Ferguson, G. A. Dix, R. G. Dickerson, C. W. Humes, Elmer C. Miller and Walter A. Jones. The only ones now living are Dix, Humes, Miller and Hatten. The new cooperative on June 1, 1919 bought out the "Electric Mill" on South Sandusky Street, from West and Murphy and this burned several years later. W. A. West became the first manager, followed a year later by Daniel E. Murphy, a brother of the former partner-owner. The pre- sent manager, Clifford S. Gooding, who had been elected manager of the Lewis Center Branch in 1924 was a few years later elected general mana- ger of the fast growing organization. During the years the Association has taken over the elevators at Lewis Center and Radnor and the east side elevator operated for a few years by W. A. West, also the V. T. Hills ware- house on S. Sandusky Street and the Dunlap Lumber Yard on the C. & O. R.R. The business has increased from a volume of sales in 1923 of $248,625.00 to $3,750,000 in 1954 and earnings of $9,209. in 1923 had in- creased to $140,000 in 1954. New elevators have been erected in Dela- ware, Lewis Center and Radnor, with modern grinding, mixing plants and machinery shops installed. Present officers are Bernard Hatten, presi- dent; George L.

HAYES [portrait of Hayes] Rutherford B. Hayes, nineteenth President of the United States, was born in Delaware, October 4, 1822. His father had died two months before his birth, so that his Uncle Sardis Birchard had assumed some of the duties of his household. It was through the in- fluence of Uncle Sardis that the family eventually moved to Fremont, Ohio. Hayes was graduated from Kenyon College in 1842 and began the practice of law in Fremont. Later he was city solicitor of Cincin- nati. He was a member of Congress in 1865, served as Governor of Ohio three times and became the nineteenth president of the United States in 1877. His wife, Lucy Webb Hayes, was one of the first wo- men to attend classes with men students at Ohio Wesleyan, and the Sulphur Springs is romantically linked with their courtship. In the White House, Lucy was known by the "wets" as "Lemonade Lucy" because she refused to serve wine at official dinners. Hayes' has been ranked by historians as among our best of presidents. The birthplace on West William Street was torn down some years ago to make room for a filling station. A marker commemor- ates the site. It was erected by the Daughters of the American Rev- olution. 27 Title A name given to the resource Delaware County Historical Society (p. 25) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/ed414b268c3e6021d925ff92485b3452.jpg 303cdf904da2b301b61df57600d8be0c Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Why be a member? We feel that the work the Society wants to do is really a must if we expect to discover more about our County's early history and transfer that knowledge to others as the years go by. It offers one focal point where this knowledge can be assembled and the material things of the past preserved. This Society was organized in 1947 and the membership was carried along at a level of abotu 100. When it was certain that we were to have a Museum the urge to increase our membership re- sulted in a personal campaign which netted us 196 new members. In January a letter was sent out to almost every home in the County. This resulted in 265 new members which gives us a total of 565 members. These are divided 363 in the city, and 202 in the county and other points. The county can be further broken down as to mailing areas as follows: Delaware R.D. 1 - 29 R.D. 2 20 R.D. 3 14 R.D. 4 23 Sunbury 37 Ashley 9 Galena 6 Westerville 7 Ostrander 8 Powell 8 Radnor 8 Leonardsburg 6 Centerburg 2 Lewis Center 1 Worthington 1 Croton 1 Shawnee Hills 1 Out of the county post offices are 21.

Description An account of the resource [page 2] [corresponds to unlabeled page 2 of Delaware High School] PREFACE By FREDERICK NORWOOD The next time you are walking down Winter Street, pause to look at the big old brick building set solidly between the Presbyte- rian and Episcopal churches. "Delaware High School," Yes, it really was. This series tells the story of the last class to graduate from that ancient structure, which was more than half destroyed by fire in the freshman year of the Class of 1932. The series is something more than that: It attempts to re- capture what Delaware and life in Delaware were like two genera- tions and two high school build- ings ago. Yes, Frank B. Willis High School, toward which we were yearning for almost four years, has itself been replaced by Rutherford B. Hayes High School --located, by the way, where Su- perintendent R. D. Conrad had wanted it in 1929. Part of the story is painful be- cause it circulates around the struggles for a new building which developed in the combined disasters of fire and depression. It is painful because it bears on the lives of many citizens and their families as they were caught in the deprivations of the Great Depression. But the pain was, as always, mingled with joy and even exuberance. Thus the story is an archetype of human life. Perhaps it may help bridge the chasm which now exists between the present crop of high school students and their grandparents. A few items I have kept in dis- creet silence. Delaware is still a small town; and, although there are many features of small town life I cherish, long gossipy small- minded memories are not one of them. The closet for our skele- tons is not large, but neither is it empty. My sources are, simply: my own memories and those of some of my classmates, the four Yearbooks, and the files of the Delaware Daily Gazette. I am es- pecially grateful for the coopera- tion of the Delaware County Dis- trict Public Library, the Delaware County Historical Society, and the editors of The Gazette. I was given permission to use issues of runs in the Gazette files that were not available anywhere else. Many of those file copies -- the more recent ones (because of the quality of the paper) -- are on the verge of disintegration. In a few years the fragile pages I so gently turned will no longer be in existence anywhere in the world.

Description An account of the resource [page 3] [corresponds to unlabeled page 3 of Delaware High School] INTRODUCTION "Nothing Much Happens in Delaware" Most of the members of the Class of 1932 of Delaware High School, newly Frank B. Willis High School, grew up in this town. Thus most of us understood the element of truth in the old saying, "Nothing much happens in Delaware." The rest of the world may seem to be rushing to a magnificent future--or to the dogs. But this town placidly goes along, or just stays put. It seemed to me during our years in high school. Way off there important things were happening: a Kellogg-Briand Peace Pact, Black Friday on the stock market, Gandhi and civil disobedience in India, Japanese attack on China, Nazi victory in the German Reichstag. But nothing much was happening in Delaware. Although some reports of these great doings were made in the Delaware Daily Gazette, you read that newspaper mainly to find out about local squabbles, sports, fires, who was in jail, who had died, or just the "funny paper." Nothing much happened in Delaware--except on 30 March 1928. That year's great event was not the appearance of a new high school class, but the sudden and shocking death of Senator Frank B. Willis, a home town boy whom many knew personally, on the verge of his campaign for the presidency of the United States. It happened right in Ohio Wesleyan's Gray Chapel as thousands waited excitedly for the GO signal. There had been a colorful and noisy torchlight parade which the Gazette termed a "gigantic Willis-for-Presi- dent parade, . . . one of the greatest events ever recorded in Delaware's history" [Gazette, 27 March 1928]. The C.D.&M. (Columbus, Delaware and Marion Interurban Electric Line), ran eight special cars. And then, while someone was speaking, the senator left the stage "for some fresh air"--and died in the hallway at 9:09 PM, telling his secretary, Charles A. Jones, "I never felt like this in my life. Something is very wrong." A cerebral hemmorhage. It was the secretary who returned to the stage, informed the audience that the senator was ill, and asked them quietly to go home. Except for a half-hearted effort to "stop Hoover," that was the end of that. Ordinarily, however, the illusion of inactivity in this town remained pervasive, born of complacency and a conservative desire to keep things the way they are. Delaware does not produce many boat-rockers. As a result great events which take place elsewhere seem to have little immediate effect. Take this environment and add the natural disinterest of adoslescents in the maneuverings of the adult world, and you can understand why Great Events were little noted, concerned as we were chiefly with classes and school sports, to say nothing of girls--and boys. In retirement I decided it might be instructive to revisit Delaware High School, 1928-1932, to find out what really had been going on. That led me to the title, Delaware High SChool Redivivus, which I knew would please Mrs. Crist (Herrick) and Miss Shults, our Latin teachers. I have tried to Title A name given to the resource Delaware High School 1928-1932 (p. 3) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/12f4c70e86f6378cf63fb6ef4d0063d2.jpg 7a5532b71bc8dfb309c2cdca84e8837a Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 4] [corresponds to unlabeled page 4 of Delaware High School] relocate our history in the larger context of our changing world, to focus on what was happening in Delaware during those difficult years, and to concentrate on our own history as recaptured from memory, the yearbooks, and especially from the voluminous files of the Gazette and the "Weekly Delhi Echo" which appeared in it on Saturdays. You can go back and relive it. But it wasn't really the way it seemed. Or is it the other way around? The Wide Wide World If a kid in Delaware in the 1920s wanted to see the "wide, wide world" (like Bunky the Monkey on the children's record), all he or she had to do was take the C. D. & M. interurban electric line from the station on the corner of Sandusky and William. One way ran south across the high viaduct twenty-three miles to Columbus. The other way ran twenty-five miles across farm land via Prospect to Marion. Beyond these destinations (plus now and then more exotic travels to Buckeye Lake or Magnetic Springs), what else was there to see? Members of our class will remember fondly the sleek, speedy electric cars, one of them a "parlor car" with revolving seats. Is it a mark of progress that the C. D. & M. no longer exists except as scattered abandoned right-of-way, one of the many victims of the Great Depression? More local transportation for Delaware itself was provided by the Delaware Electric Street Railway Company, which ran "dinkies" along four routes. These small four-wheel, long-overhang cars, which careened over brick-paved streets, must have been modeled after the venerable comic strip, "Toonerville Trolley." One route ran up Sandusky Street, west on Lincoln to Campbell, down past Monnett campus to William Street. Another served the south side via University, Liberty, and back along South Sandusky. An eastern route crossed the Olentangy River and ran along Lake Street. A fourth spur went west on William to meet the Hocking Valley Railroad and, for a while, to connect with another interurban to Magnetic Springs. My memory says they were yellow. But, before the age of color photography, color has a way of disappearing from history. Is it a mark of progress that Delaware in the 1980s has no provision for public trans- portation whatsoever? At this point Mrs. Crist breaks in with "O tempora! O mores!." The significance of all this is that Delawareans could see the wide, wide world without any trouble at all. It was only more restricted. The little street cars were already gone when the Class of 1932 entered high school. The C. D. & M. lingered until it was finally done in by the Great Depression in 1933. We could go up to Marion in our first year to see what effect the new local "blue laws" were having on Sunday movies or to attend the trial of the theater manager. We could ride down to Columbus for what seemed to us big city life, the state fair, or the amusement park. What else was there? Well, there was radio. The sounds came into the squawking boxes from somewhere outside, placed like KDKA in Pittsburgh. What would we have done without Fibber McGee and Molly, Amos 'n Andy, Billy Jones and Ernie Hare, ". . . . ."

The more intellectual made room for cultural leaders like Walter Damrosch, Paul Whiteman, Will Robers, and Major Bowes. This is to say nothing of the Goldbergs and the Rudy Vallee Show. Who would dare accuse the Class of 1932 of being provincial? A Few Inconsequential Events I suppose our parents paid attention to some other news. Our teachers certainly did, as from time to time they strove to impress on our spongy and slippery minds the importance of these not very real events. Mr. Hoover did not become President of the United States until we were well into our freshman year. The banner headline of the Delaware Daily Gazette for 19 October 1928 reported "Coolidge Stresses Prosperity in Speech Today." We were no more excited by the stock market report a month later that the bulls were "exultant" and the bears "begged for mercy." We had no idea of what lay ahead as we learned in December that one half of one per cent were paying something called an "income tax." By the time we graduated the message had come home clearly, that some of those far-off unreal events could have some very real local effects. Some banks right on Sandusky Street closed for good, our meager savings still lost somewhere inside. "Going out of business" sales visibly changed the appearance of the familiar business district--along with the razing of the Rutherford B. Hayes birthplace and the city hall fire. There were even more distant rumblings, though adults and students alike paid little attention. As we began high school Werner Heisenberg had just knocked the underpinnings from under traditional physics (the kind we were taught) with his Uncertainty Principle, adding another complexity to the already confusing world of Einstein's Theory of Relativity. In 1930 Gandhi began his campaign of civil disobedience in India, which in a few years would bring into being the second most populous nation in the world. In 1931 Japan attacked China in the beginning of a greater Rising Sun. In 1932 the Nazis won control of the German Reichstag. We were already out of school when Mao Tse Tung led his rag-tag army on their "Long March." In act, we were already out when Franklin Delano Roosevelt began the series of moves that would change life in America forever. When we graduated in 1932, the citizens of Delaware, their children, and the rest of the United States and most of the world, were tumbling deep into the heart of the Great Depression. Indeed, very dark clouds were swirling around us all through those four years. But not all was gloomy. Wiley Post and Harold Gatty flew clear around the world in 1931 in only eight and a half days. Partly because of the unsettling principles of Einstein and Heisenberg, deep research was leading to discoveries about atoms and molecules, bacteria and viruses, and the whole universe. There was good news. But many of those clouds were ominous indeed. The freshmen of 1928-29 paid little attention. Much more important was the whirl of school life--and presently, in the spring of 1929, the shock of the fire that destroyed our school building. We waited four years to enter a new one. Now that--that--was something important.

Description An account of the resource [page 6] [corresponds to unlabeled page 6 of Delaware High School] Chapter 1: On the Bottom Runs, 1928-1929 How the Town Looked That Year Delaware always revived after the summer coma. By the time Ohio Wesleyan students re- turned, the city schools were al- ready vibrating. The old brick building on Winter Street, sand- wiched between the Episcopal and Presbyterian churches, be- came a second home for the Class of 1932, fresh from grade school without any transitional adjustment via junior high. Some of us were uneasy. Scared is another word for the way we felt as we moved from the cozier environment of one room and one teacher in a rela- tively modest building to this great hulk of red brick, where, though we still had a "home room," we were sent scurrying by clanging bell from English room to math room to history room to typing room to manual training or (not and) home economics, study hall, after school clubs, and sports. No wonder these new entering freshmen had no time or thought for anything else! Yet this was the year Edmund D. Soper became president of Ohio Wesleyan Uni- versity (inaugurated February 15, 1929), and Herbert Hoover was inaugurated on 4 March for a term concurrent with our high school career. We may have heard our par- ents talking about the increasing importance of the automobile. Some of us even had a family car --though few, if any, students even dreamed of owning one themselves. Maybe we thought about buying one of those sleek Nashes sold by Oller Brothers, or the neat Whippet coaches of- fered by Armstrong Sales and Service. A sign of the times was the increase in speed limit on country roads to 45 miles per hour, to go into effect in July, 1929. Six other states had al- ready taken this progressive ac- tion, plus three others which had no limit at all. Delaware was accused of be- ing a speed trap. The Columbus and Marion auto clubs erected warning signs on the highway south and north of town about the arresting habits of Delaware po- lice on Sandusky Street, which was the main urban bottleneck between the two larger cities. The local Chamber of Commerce vigorously denied the charge, and induced the auto clubs to re- move the signs. Another sign of the times was the arrest by Sheriff Main of two men on May 21, who were caught with four gallons of whiskey on a road near Stratford. Although Delaware was an al- most unassailable bastion of tee- totalism, the W.C.T.U., and the Anti-Saloon League, the forces of Demon Rum managed now and then to sneak in. The Gazette dutifully reported cases of citizens who thought the Prohi- bition Amendment did not apply to them. By this time a sizable number thought so, even in Delaware. Except for the trauma of Sen- ator Willis' death, however, it was a relatively quiet year -- until the middle of March, that is. Cussins & Fearn opened a new store at 86 N. Sandusky. Klein's had dress shirts for one dollar. They must have been pretty fancy. Norman Thomas, durable So- cialist Party candidate for presi- dent, and E. Stanley Jones, world-famous evangelist, gave speeches in Gray Chapel. Charles Lindburgh and Anne Morrow were married and went off on a secret honeymoon. The Graf Zeppelin completed a round-the-world flight. School Life In one respect the educational atmosphere in Delaware was normal: The three-person school board was beleaguered. Dr. A. J. Pounds, president, was, as usu- al, adamant in fiscal and political conservatism. He was unflag- gingly supported by Mrs. Martha Battenfield, a devoted volunteer who was serving as secretary of the board. Almost always found voting as a minority of one was the third member, Fred Vergon, who believed that changes and improvements were needed, even at the cost of increased tax- es. Some citizens were calling for the building of a new high school. But Dr. Pounds said there was not going to be any new school, because "the citizens of Delaware are not favorable to the building of a new high school" [Gazette, 3 February 1928]. Thereupon a local and vocal at- torney, Francis M. Marriott, Kiwa- nis Club president, let loose a broadside. He said the high school was no longer first class, because of the "inefficiency and thimble-mindedness of the ma- jority members [of the board]." They should either "gracefully re- sign," or "become so ashamed of their lassitude that they will make amends for their two years of so- porific inactivity" [Gazette, 21 February 1929]. The Superintendent, W. R. Ash, was caught in the middle. He recommended efforts to re- lieve general crowding by provid- ing more rooms, more teachers, a two-session day plan, and ex- clusion of non-resident pupils. The high school library must be "radically improved." He recog- nized the problem of using text- books of varying editions, sup- ported raises for teachers, and the employment of a full-time school nurse. He was fired for his pains by the usual vote, Vergon alone supporting the superinten- dent. R. D. Conrad was an- nounced as the new administra- tor, effective in June, 1928. Another uproar -- all this be- fore the freshmen began their years -- arose over a demonstration in mid-summer by the recently graduated members of the Glass of 1928 in front of Dr. Pounds' William Street home. The principal of the high school was held responsible and fired, even though there was no evi- dence that he was in any way in- volved or even knew of the plan. T. M. Buck was elected the new Title A name given to the resource Delaware High School 1928-1932 (p. 6) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/16f8d0ff9933eb0ca2657d4b1f9abd06.jpg c4b8066e72ec34092ab1b6cdd2d25ab6 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

A letter of protest against this alleged injustice, signed by Guy Anderson, Mrs. B. T. Cartmell, and Francis M. Mar- riott, was printed in the Gazette [4 August 1928], to no avail. If all this could take place in placid Delaware in the doldrums of summer, how did that saying, "Nothing much happens in Delaware," get started? Maybe it only seemed that way. These doings of the grown- ups had little impact on entering freshmen. Even the defeat in November of a 2-mill school levy, blamed on lack of confidence in the school board, was not at the forefront of student minds. Much more important was the new plan for Delaware High School to en- ter the Tecumseh League for football. It then consisted of Marysville, London, Urbana, and Bellefontaine. Exciting also was the victory of the basketball squad over Granville, 26-24, in early February. Turley, Burch, Knight, Myers, Burnstead, Oller, Ketterling, Platz, and Gallant be- came heroes overnight. If the seniors during our first year appeared high and lifted up, the reason is, they were. The class officers were outstanding: President Cecil Jones, Vice Pres- ident Herbert Whitacre, Secretary Mary Ludman, and Treasurer Corinne Timmons. The Dramatic Club was graced for four years by Lois Brower, who was presi- dent during our first year. Also active for four years were Alberta McFadden, Cecil Jones, Herb Whitacre, and Vernon Willis. President of Hi-Y was Myron Dixon, who was active also in dramatics and debate. Participat- ing in almost everything was Al- berta McFadden, president of the Girl Reserves. Musically inclined was Gwendolyn Sautter, presi- dent of the Glee Club and pianist for the Freshman Girls' Glee Club. All-Around sports figures were Vernon Willis and Arthur Bum- stead. Hallie Cunningham adorned the 1929 Yearbook with pen and ink drawings. One of the most impressive achievements was marked by the debate teams (affirmative Leo Stone, Myron Dixon, John Moist, and negative Elmer McFadden, Alberta Mc- Fadden, and Cecil Jones). Even when Jones fainted in a debate with Galion, the two McFaddens carried on to another victory. In early February the freshman class elected its officers: Presi- dent Marion Hubbart, Vice Presi- dent Frederick Norwood, Secre- tary Betty Ropp, Treasurer Pauline Perley. Freshman girls were also ac- tive in music. A new Freshman Girls' Glee Club grew quite large, led by President Helen Laird, Secretary Violet Knight, and Li- brarian Margaret Anne Freshwa- ter. Now that I think of it, there were indeed innovations pro- duced by our class. In March [Gazette 16 March] a new publi- cation was reported. "A Dog's Life," which had been circulating around school. Edited by Robert Newcomb, though staffed by up- per class students, this publica- tion, whatever else it accom- plished, stimulated the organiza- tion under school sponsorship of a Reporters' Club, whose mem- bers could share in writing re- ports on school life for the Satur- day edition of the Gazette. Annie F. Kellogg was desginated super- visor of the new project. Need- less to say, "A Dog's Life" had no supervisor. The "Dog," however, did not expire. In April it was still going around under the title "La vie d'un chien," edited by New- comb, Abbott (Bill) Rice, and Elmer McFadden. A more durable product was the "Weekly Delhi Echo," which continued to appear regularly in the Saturday Gazette. Without it this history could not have been written in such rich colors. The lowly freshmen were mak- ing their presence felt, even though they were not able to en- ter very far into the student power structure. Most organizations were dominated by upper-class leaders. Nevertheless, the "April Showers" tea given by the Girl Reserves in the Presbyterian Church featured a string quartet composed of Judy Ziegler, Ruth and Barbara LeBaron, and Mari- on Hubbart. This event had origi- nally been set as a "St. Patrick's" tea at school. The change of name and place gives evidence of the disruptive effects of the great fire. The Hi-Y elected offi- cers in April: President Bill Rice, Vice-President Paul Gardner, Secretary Herbert Soper, and Treasurer Fred Herr. The fire also explains the location of the May band concert, directed by Vayne Galliday at St. Mary's Parochial School, the senior high play, "A Lucky Break," directed by Ber- nice Moran before 1,000 people in Gray Chapel, and the senior chapel in Sanborn Hall of Ohio Wesleyan. But freshmen shone in May as they won a debate with the sophomores on the issue, "Re- solved, that the jury system should be abolished." The team was Polly Perley, Betty Higley, Margaret Anne Freshwater, and Sherman Moist as alternate. There was even a freshman on the new girls' basketball team, Betty Ropp, who was the only one to persevere through the whole year. Then came senior commence- ment in Gray Chapel. Judge Flo- rence Allen addressed the 95 graduates. Then the year was all over, the freshmen rose a notch, and had a class to look down on the following year. The Great Fire Of course the entire flow of school life was totally disrupted by the firey event of 14 March, when more than half of the old, already inadequate high school was destroyed, and much of the rest, the surviving north wing, was water-damaged. All the stu- dents knew that at least this great event in the history of Delaware had an immediate and devastat- ing effect on them. They would live with this sobering knowledge for the rest of their high school years. The weather was almost spring-like the middle of that March.

Description An account of the resource [page 8] [corresponds to unlabeled page 8 of Delaware High School] old brick building fronting on Win- ter Street began to belch smoke and flames, it was a fine specta- tor sport as firemen struggled for over two hours in the evening to bring the conflagration under control. The emotions of high schoolers were mixed. As chil- dren they exulted in the superb spectacle: The school is burning down! As aspiring graduates, they shuddered: How can I get a diploma for my life's work? It was exciting for a while to enjoy an impressive show, to watch firemen and police rushing about, to stand with the crowd across the street, to see the bursts of flame from the rear parts and smell the billows of smoke which rose high in the evening sky. Soon, however, a sobering reaction set in, especial- ly the morning after. Some stu- dents who had eluded authorities brought out sodden charred lumps from their desks -- what was left of their cherished-hated school books. A little later, through a smart action by Super- intendent Conrad, all remnants from desks in home rooms and study hall were gathered in indi- vidual bags with student names. Thus was brought home to our excited consciousness the mess we were in. That week's "Delaware High School Notes" (not yet "Weekly Delhi Echo") in the Gazette be- gan with a rather somber para- graph: "As students of Delaware High School we feel sudden collapse of the old school life. No longer are the study halls and the home room assemblies. We carry on our program much in the same old spirit, but we are crowded; so crowded that some activities must be temporarily discontin- ued. This is unfortunate, but we wait, hoping and believing that a new school will be forthcoming, with plenty of room and equip- ment, safe and beautiful. We can carry on in the old building, but not for long. Delaware High School is a growing organization, one of the most important in the city, but it is not self-supporting. It must be supported by the taxpay- ers. A new building will cost mon- ey, but it will be worth all it may cost. It will be a common meeting place for the community, where we can work and play to- gether, can learn to be useful citi- zens, can learn to live. Adolescents are resilient. The extraordinarily long report went to announce that classes in chem- istry and physics would resume Monday in temporary quarters in the ground floor at West Elemen- tary School a few blocks out Win- ter Street. We did not know that those "temporary" facilities would be used for the next four years. Only four days after the fire, on Monday, when classes more or less resumed, the annual ath- letic banquet, held in Bun's Colo- nial Room, honored the football team and boys' and girls' basket- ball teams, with speeches by ev- eryone from Professor Ben Arne- son and Coach Mac Barr to Mrs. Battenfield and Superintendent Conrad. Forty had signed up with Coach Fred Neff for the new track program. The Aeroplane Club, local chapter of the Aero- plane Model League of America, went on as if nothing had hap- pened under the direction of Mr. Preston. Yet throughout there was sad- ness, "The condition of our library is extremely altered...The books, partially burned and water- soaked, are piled in Room 22." Usable volumes will be placed on new shelves in the sewing room on the third floor of the surviving north wing and that will become the new library. Damaged vol- umes will be repaired if possible. Books will circulate as early as next week. As school officials and state fire marshals and engineers as- sessed the damage, it was clear that a fire door and partition had limited direct fire damage to the south wing. The north wing was intact, but it had suffered from much smoke and water damage. The state fire inspectors left no room for complacency. The whole building, including the north wing, was a "fire trap," with- out any fire escapes even from the vulnerable third floor. They tartly reminded the board and school administrators that the need for fire escapes had been urged before, but nothing had been done. The auditorium and study hall, classrooms, laboratories, and the superintendent's office had all been lost. Gradually the pieces of sec- ondary education were patched together. Some classes resumed in the week following the fire. Principal T. M. Buck gave instructions for study hall periods. Students who lived close enough should go home to study. The rest should carry on study hall in the basement of West School. On the 21st a school assembly was held at St. Mary's School. The band missed only one prac- tice session. But the junior class play just barely made it. It had been scheduled for the auditori- um, the scenery was in place, and the dress rehearsal per- formed. Then suddenly--nothing left. The fire preceded the first performance by just a few hours. "Mother Carey's Chickens" were all burned up. Then came the announce- ment that the play would be given after all on Tuesday evening, with new scenery, in Ohio Wesleyan's Sanborn Hall. And that's what happened. The juniors--Wyford Jones, Mary Jo Main, Genevieve Ewers, Fred Herr, Wendell Hart- ley among them--directed by Ber- nice Moran, put on their show, surrounded by whatever scenery could be "whomped up" over the weekend. Then began a drawn-out, frus- trating, discouraging story. It took a bit of time for the process to get under way, what with emergency band-aid measures. Unbeliev- ably, the first debate was over the question of whether to try for a new building at all. Both in and out of the School Board argu- ments were heard for making do with what was left. Then, when it became clear that not much of anything was left, the arguments swirled around cost, method of financing, authority to act, site, and other controverted problems.

On 11 April the Gazette report- ed that Mr. Vergon and Mrs. Bat- tenfield, under heavy pressure, were resigning to make room for fresh leadership. But Dr. Pounds, the immovable president, refused to resign on the principle that continuing authority was neces- sary under the circumstances. A "citizens' advisory committee" charged that the board had "be- trayed confidence," and that the people generally had lost faith in the board's leadership. At the same time the committee ex- pressed support for the belea- guered new superintendent. A mass meeting proposed names for temporary appoint- ment by Probate Judge Ira C. Gregory. One of the temporary appointees was C. C. Dunlap, who continued in leadership throughout the long process of getting a new building. That process, after the in- evitable decision was made to re- place the old structure, forthwith stumbled into c Conflict over choice of an archi- tect. Over Dunlap's objection Glass & Ramsey of Columbus was chosen. Another fight ensued over site. It seems everyone in town had strong convictions on this. Some, chiefly conservative, wanted to stay on the old site, make use of the unburned north wing, and add it to the south along William Street. Although this would mean acquisition of certain private properties adjoining, it promised, in the short term at least, lower cost. But soon a movement was un- derway to locate along the Olen- tangy River between Winter and William Streets. Another group favored the Girls' Athletic Field, an ample tract to the west held by Ohio Wesleyan. There were other sugges- tions. Superintendent Conrad, one of those with longer vision, urged the necessity of providing wide space as required in mod- ern education, including space for athletics and parking of cars. The Gazette, in attempting a poll, brought inconclusive results. A first report showed 60 per cent in favor of the river site, 16 per cent for the present location, 14 per cent for the Girls' Athletic Field and 7 per cent for the city park. But later tabulation, though it kept large support for the river, put 18 per cent for the Girls' Ath- letic Field, and only 13 per cent for the present location [Gazette, 20 July 1929]. Already the Class of 1932 had completed its first, traumatic year. The struggle over a new building would plague the elders and irri- tate the adolescents for another three years. But we kids had our lives to live. We were more con- cerned about Girl Reserves, Hi-Y, Mac Barr's football, scholarship recognition, and beauty queens. Chapter 2: A Second Year, 1929-1930 The World and Delaware As school opened for the new year the stock market was suffering attacks of jitters. But not until the end of Octo- ber did the now famous crash take place, the Black Friday, largely unanticipated. No one, especially high school stu- dents, really understood what lay in store. Signs continued to be am- biguous. The Gazette rport- ed on Nov. 1 a buying orgy: "Nobody seemed to be selling. Everybody is buying." In early December President Hoover told 400 businessmen that "Work" was the best way to stimulate business. By March he was forecasting that the country was coming out of the slump. That would have been inter- esting news to the publishers of the Journal Herald, whose assets were bought by the Gazette. The Journal Herald had begun publishing in 1900 in an effort to balance the po- litical influence of The Gazette, which had been an official expression of the Re- publican Party. Now as Delaware's only newspaper it would henceforth be "indepen- dent." The news was not all lugubrious. In England in September an airplane broke all speed records at 328 miles per hour. At the fall annual conferences of the Methodist Episcopal Church Harold Ruopp was appointed to the pastorate of William Street church and Stanley Mullen to Asbury. On Saturday, Oct. 19, Sel- by Stadium, constructed be- tween Henry Street and the Olentangy River, was dedicat- ed. A photograph on the front page of The Gazette [Oct. 22] showed the five participants: Harold Elford the contractor, coach George Gauthier, presi- dent Edmund D. Soper, home- coming chairman A. C. Conger, and Mark W. Selby. Early in November there was a "Mardi Gras" Hallowe'en party downtown, which was a great success in spite of rain. Large crowds, some persons in costume, gathered in the business sec- tion to watch the parades and celebrations. That winter Professor Har- lan T. Stetson of Ohio Wes- leyan reported that there may exist a hitherto unknown plan- et outside the orbit of Nep- tune. Terrible news was the holo- caust at the grim Ohio State Penitentiary in Columbus, where in April 317 convicts lost their lives in a fire which completely destroyed one en- tire cell block. This was anoth- er sad chapter in a continuing disreputable side of Ohio his- tory, its penal system.

Description An account of the resource [page 10] [corresponds to unlabeled page 10 of Delaware High School] Closer to Delaware, howev- er, was the happy arrival at the end of May of the Robbins Brothers Circus, in a train composed of 30 cars. A long parade down Sandusky Street helped take accumulating troubles off people's minds. And the Jane M. Case Hospi- tal drive was successful at over $100,000. These events tended to overshadow other affairs. Eugene O'Neill won the Pulitzer Prize for "Strange In- terlude" and Thomas Mann the Nobel Prize, William Faulkner came out with "Sar- toris" and "The Sound and the Fury", Ernest Hemingway with "A Farewell to Arms", Sinclair Lewis with "Dodsworth", Erich Maria Remarque with "All Qui- et on the Western Front", and Thomas Wolfe with "Look Homeward, Angel". John Dewey wrote "The Quest for Certainty", Walter Lippmann "Preface to Morals", Bertrand Russell "Marriage and Morals", while Marc Chagall, Salvador Dali, Lyonel Feininger, and Georgia O'- Keefe were painting. Aaron Copeland com- posed "Symphonic Ode," George Gershwin "Show Girl," and Cole Porter "Fifty Million Frenchmen." But people were humming "Stardust," "Tiptoe Through the Tulips," and "Sin- gin' in the Rain." Building Pains One persistent theme coursed through the entire sophomores year: the new high school building. All con- cerned, including the new school board, now were agreed on the necessity. That was all they were agreed on. Problems centered on the choice of site, choice of archi- tect, amount and method of fi- nancing, and legality. When attorneys got into the act, the whole process ground to a halt. At the end of a year and a half of talk and conflict, Delaware was no closer to a new high school than at the beginning. The frustrations of public servants were excruciating. No sooner was a decision made, usually painfully, than protest, including legal ac- tions, grew louder. No one benefited except the lawyers. The chief losers, however, were the students, who some- how managed to keep on us- ing temporary facilities -- or none at all -- for education, sports, culture, and recre- ation. But most important, and almost miraculously, the high schoolers were educated, for the most part well educated. What the teaching staff had to sacrifice has never been told. Information oozed out about the condition of class- rooms, the state of the library, problems of study periods, all the rest; and presently the squeeze of the Depression re- sulted in restricted budgets, abandoned projects, and low- er salaries. But the educational pro- cess, using something a bit better than Mark Hopkins' log, survived. So did the students. It helped to be young in those days. Fire and Depression were a "double whammy" (comic page jargon of the times). The Class of 1932 was in the eye of the storm. Its histo- ry coincided with the four- year struggle to build a new building, and ended in the darkest year of the Depres- sion. It barely managed to stage its senior play and the junior-senior banquet in what was to become -- next year -- Frank B. Willis High School. Well, The Gazette reported [Oct. 1, 1929] that six of the seven houses on William Street, which occupied space needed for the new building, had been acquired. Contracts would be let the end of the month, and construction would begin "soon." There was still grumbling over the choice of site which would permit use of the surviving north wing but offered very constricted space. But the board forged ahead and re- ceived bids. Enter the lawyers, engaged by citizens opposed to the ac- tions of the school board. G. K. Hoffman, M. C. Russell, G. E. Gauthier, H. M. Bing, J. P. Salter, and W. H. Bodurtha filed suit in the court of com- mon pleas, and Judge H. W. Jewel granted a restraining order which prevented any ac- tion. The plot thickened, and progress went "like tar uphill in January." The suit argued that the bond issue for $400,000 was illegal because of improper bidding and lack of approval by the voters. F. M. Marriott, Jr. and Russell Knep- per argued the case in November. On Nov. 18 Judge E. W. Porter (of Marysville) declared the bonds illegal. Hence, as the newspaper averred, "Delaware is no nearer to hav- ing a new high school than it was immediately after the dis- astrous fire of last March." The school board thought at first that it would appeal the decision, then decided to with- draw the appeal. In the mean- time a new board had been elected with members Dunlap, McFadden, and Vergon. When the city solicitor, H. D. House, refused to allow the appeal to be withdrawn, the board asked Marriott to file the papers. In June (after the completion of our sophomore year) the Court of Appeals re- versed Judge Porter's deci- sion and declared the bonds legal after all.

It hoped that construction could begin by fall. But only one reef had been crossed. The question of site was still not completely settled. It was 1930. What Was Really Going On Turley was the durable hero in football, along with Oller, Kettering, and others. Early on Delaware beat Marysville 19- 0. The following week the team defeated Westerville 20- 0. The "Barr machine" began to look invincible -- till Mount Vernon punctured the balloon with a crushing 40-7 victory over Delaware. Then came two more DHS victories, over Granville and Upper San- dusky, followed in early November by a defeat at the hands of Galion, 19-0. By this time members of our class were becoming prominent. Paul Sell, Dick Swearengin, Bud Rybolt, Sam Roberts, and Myron Stegner were already experienced on the field. And Fleming, Wilgus, Downing, Elston, Coover, Hilborn, Sell and Bright won the inter-class basketball tour- nament. Ropp was joined on the girls' basketball squad by Wilma Krichbaum, Marion Hubbart, and Marie Jones. The successful athletic year was proved as DHS won both football championships in the Tecumseh League. The bas- ketball team, taking first place in the League with defeat of Bellefontaine, 36-08, went on to become in March "undis- puted champion." Jesse Brod- nax was a new star in the 100-yard dash. No wonder students had little place for the troubles of the school board! Yet hope unfulfilled gnawed unconsciously as they had to put up with all sorts of ar- rangements for classes, study halls, assemblies, lunch, li- brary, and innumerable small inconveniences. There was more immediate interest in the discussions the board had with the superin- tendent and principal about secret fraternities and sorori- ties. Conrad made the point that, since these organiza- tions were only partly in- school activities, parents also held responsibility. Existence of secret organizations like these was chiefly the respon- sibility of the home. But he had membership lists and had talked with officers. A more properly education- al enterprise was organization of a Quill and Scroll Club to encourage writing. The seven members were president Vance Bell, Charles Hamilton, Gladine Moses, Frank Fagley, Elizabeth Mackley, Helen Dixon, and Robert Newcomb. Study halls continued to be a problem. Students did their reading and homework in a variety of locations: home, downtown stores, city hall, cars, even the sidewalk. For out-of-town students the second-floor hallway was being readied, with better lighting and armchairs. Stricter discipline in use of study periods was being intro- duced. High honors in the Central District scholarship test went to Bill Rice, Betty Huffman, Marie Jones, Gilbert Barnes, Elton Woodbury, and Lloyd Morrison. DHS accumulated enough points to rank fourth in the district. The new Student Council included the class officers for the sophomore year, presi- dent Paul Sell, vice president Robert Hartley, secretary Robert Newcomb, and trea- surer Margaret Anne Fresh- water. Our class was well rep- resented on the debate team - - Newcomb, Freshwater, and Higley. On a lighter note, yet a learning experience, Elmer McFadden, serving for a day as student mayor, Bill Rice as safety director, and Wendell Hartley as chief of police, engineered the "arrest and conviction" of Superintendent Conrad for trespassing on the circus grounds. He was sen- tenced to 30 days in jail and $100 fine, all remitted for good behavior. A regular "School of the Air" now came over the school ra- dio, that magical machine which broadcasts sound with- out any wires, between two and three in the afternoon. The glee clubs put on an op- eretta in April in the City Build- ing, "Riding Down the Sky," with a cast of 140. At Asbury church, Katherine King won the Prince of Peace medal given by the Ohio Council of Churches. Second place went to Betty Higley; third to Helen Eagon, and fourth to Elmer McFadden. Students were glad to learn (end of June) that Ruth Board- man had been appointed prin- cipal of West School, where many had done elementary training. Later it was renamed in her honor. Sixty-year alumni of the Class of 1932 have long since gotten used to the loss of class- mates -- though not without pain. But in our sophomore year we were unprepared for the untimely death of two of our classmates, Mary Helen Row- land and Darlene Turney. We were learning a lesson not taught in classes, that death is a part of life. We should learn it again as World War II clouded the horizon.

But they were still ahead -- Herr, Anson, Hartley, LeBaron, McFadden, Rice, and the rest. But watch out! The Class of 1932 was coming up fast! Chapter 3: Upperclass Juniors in Action One of the most exciting events of the junior year took place during the summer: Gib Barnes was chased in Canada by a black bear. He also took a 160-mile canoe trip [Gazette, Sept. 20, 1930]. More officially, the school year began on Sept. 2 with an opening assembly at Sanborn Hall, where the band played "Hail, Hail, the Gang's All Here." The new high school principal, G. W. Stuart, presided. Frances Sell, president of Girl Reserves, and Leo Stone, president of Hi- Y, spoke. Toward the end of the month class elections were held. Ju- niors were headed by Elton Woodbury, Miles Hall, Dale Main, and Sherman Moist. What had happened to that feminist movement that dominated our first year? Senior class officers were Philip Edgar, Charles Hamilton, Ruth Carson, and Frank Fagley. Although we were now upperclassmen, we still had these seniors to contend with -- Louise Hartman, Edson Anderson, Clara Bundy, Dorothy Conrad, Mary Emma Emerson, John Shindoler, and lots of other talent. But Gilbert Barnes, who had tied with Merle Law), Marion Hubbart, and Marie Jones were on Student Council; Bob Hartley, Sherman Moist, and Helen Laird were ed- itors of the "Weekly Delhi Echo"; Don Mackley won an al- titude record for model planes. Juniors were thus coming into leadership in all aspects of school life. This was true in sports as well. Although John Turley was still outstanding in football, the team could not have got along without Sell, Roberts, Rybolt, Kettering, and Fleming. This season they won all their games except one tie. When the Tecumseh League fell apart at the end of the season, Delaware High School, which had held the League football trophy for two years, was given permanent possession. Juniors were equally active in the strong basketball team: El- ston, Hilborn, Stegner, Bright, Sell, and Roberts. The girls' basketball team continued to enjoy the participation of Betty Ropp, who had played three years ever since the team was organized, and Wilma Krich- baum. Helen Laird was the team manager. As if this were not enough for juniors, both Marie Jones and William (Bus) Austin were regular cheerlead- ers. Some activities would sur- prise high schoolers of a later generation. There was an active Junior Latin Club with Elton Woodbury as president. Polly Perley was chairman of the pro- gram committee for the first meeting, which began with the singing of the "Star Spangled Banner" in Latin, Betty Higley spoke on Roman women and Katherine King on Roman hous- es. This meeting extended sym- metrically with the singing of "America" in Latin. The next meeting, under the direction of Fred Norwood, began with his report on Roman gods. This was followed by the recounting of ancient myths by Woodbury, Barnes, Victor Davis, and Es- ther Carnes. Harriet Worline, Marion Hubbart, and Dawer- ance Skatzes would lead the next meeting. Toward the end of fall, on Nov. 3, the high school cafete- ria, which had been left in shambles by the fire more than a year and a half before, opened. Macaroni and cheese could be had for five cents and milk for three cents. Students began to hear of some newcomers, kids called freshmen, like the 25 girls in the Freshmen Girls' Glee Club, led by president Lois Zeigler, vice president Mary Belle Whitacre, secretary Eleanor Kissner, and librarian Hester Denny, along Janet Benton, Florence Stetson, and other aspiring beauties. Among the boys of that class were David Grube, Wesley Leas (already active as drum major), Jim McKinnie, and younger members of the Moist, O'Keefe, and Swearengin fami- lies. What were you kids like these doing in high school? The junior class party, which had been scheduled for Jan. 13 at Della Dana Studio, was final- ly held over a month later at West School. Marie Jones was head of the planning commit- tee. Besides an hour of dancing to the school's popular orches- tra were songs by the boys' quartet and readings by Betty Higley and Smith Fry. Another gala winter event was the Girl Reserves play, "The Pied Piper of Hamlin," which took place in the Opera House (old City Hall) on March 5. Dorothy Conrad was the piper, luring some 30 elementary children with her magic instrument. Vivian Coul- ter, Margaret Sharadin, Betty Higley, and Katherine King had parts. In April the band put on a half-hour broadcast over WAIV in Columbus, part of "Neighbor Palmer's Noon Hour." The scholarly record of Delaware High School contin- ued strong, seniors William O'Neal and Leo Stone scoring high and some of the juniors placing in state contests. Some happenings were little noted at the time because only a few witnessed them, but they loom large in the memories of some students. Mr. Galliday be- came an instant hero as he ef- fectively used a fire extinguish- er on a grease fire in the home ec oven on the third floor.

The ingenuity of students in coping with the crowded library and inadequate facilities for study is illustrated by the boy, who unable to get further into the library, sat in the hall out- side, making sure he had his feet through the door. There was a school rule against studying in the hall outside. The "Weekly Delhi Echo" leaves the impression he got away with it [Gazette, April 11]. Then came baccalaureate again (Rev. Harold Ruopp speaking) and commencement in Gray Chapel on June 5. After school was over, the announce- ment was made of a new athlet- ic coach, Ervin F. Carlisle, who had been a star quarterback in O.W.U. football. There would also be two new teachers next year, Dorothy Bussard in French and Dean C. Friedley in mathematics. Another recent teacher was Maxson Greene. Troubles on the horizon were suggested by the decision of the school board to set start of school the following year for Sept. 14, 12 days later than the past year, for a school year of 172 school days instead of 181. The board had learned in Jan- uary that it would face a 10 per- cent cut in its budget, largely as a result of delinquent taxes. The school system was not alone in facing rigors of a deep- ening economic depression. Still Not Brick on Another The tempers of public ser- vants were beginning to run short fuses. Even patient volun- teers could take just so much frustration. The school board, having dismissed architects Glass & Ramsey, voted (the usual two-to-one, only this time Dunlap in the minority) to en- gage McLaughlin and Associ- ates of Lima to prepare new plans. Dunlap wanted a citi- zens' committee to participate in making the choice [Gazette, Sept. 3, 1930]. But the citizens' advisory committee resigned in less than two weeks because of the continuing divisions in the school board. Dunlap believed the board should forget the past and rehire Glass & Ramsey. The board decided to pay Glass & Ramsey for its services a total of $10,000, which the ar- chitectural firm rejected as inad- equate. An arbitrated settle- ment of $12,000 was finally ac- cepted. In early November McLaughlin and Associates re- ceived a final contract, and at the beginning of the next month new plans were accepted by the board (Gazette, Sept. 13 smf17; Oct. 24; Nov. 6, and Dec. 3). Work would begin in spring, it was said, on a three-story build- ing including an 850-seat audi- torium and gym wing. Another calendar year had gone by. It seemed that in February and March that these intentions were being implemented. The Gazette headline for Feb. 6 was "Building May Be Ready for Use Next Fall." Construction bids would be received on April 1 and let around the middle of the month. Construction could begin by May. And Delaware Stumbled On As the autumn winds be- came sharper and threats of snow whispered in the falling leaves, responsible citizens and leaders in both city and state began to fear that the coming winter could work great hardship on the increasing numbers of jobless people and destitute families. There was talk of a special session of the state legislature to deal with unemployment. Before Christ- mas the Delaware Chamber of Commerce set up an employ- ment bureau. But, at the very time when extra action was needed, all agencies found their resources dwindling as tax revenues declined and vol- untary contributions dried up. The chamber of commerce it- self was in trouble because of unpaid dues and reduced membership. The school board was not the only community agency to face a stringent budget. The in- creasing rate of delinquent tax accounts affected everybody. The city government faced a shortage of $16,000 and the county $18,000. Employees' salaries would have to be re- duced, perhaps drastically. Then it was learned that high- way grants from the state would be reduced two-thirds. The economic distress was not alleviated with the coming of spring. 1931 would be worse. The Depression was spreading all over the world. Germany fell into complete fi- nancial collapse, and this brought failure all over Europe. In the midst of this unprece- dented depression, with no end sight, Delaware did what it could. A "Save-the Surplus" campaign in August 1931 was designed to store up food for hungry people the following winter. Relief committees were organized in all counties of Ohio with the slogan "Be Pre- pared" -- for a hard winter. Just possibly the labor pains of the school board helped to conceal in Delaware the broader more systemic illness of the Great Depression. As the Class of 1932 moved into its senior year, however, the effects of economic col- lapse could not be hidden. They were starkly visible right down Sandusky Street. More poignantly, though mostly invis- ible, those effects gnawed in the lives of school children and their parents -- plans deferred, hopes dwindled, self-confi- dence weakened, personal re- lations deteriorated, all on top of the financial problems of families, which now were work- ing down into the lives of chil- dren.

Description An account of the resource [page 14] [corresponds to unlabeled page 14 of Delaware High School] As is usually the case in troubled times, however, things were not all bad. In spite of its own very serious financial prob- lems, Ohio Wesleyan University laid the cornerstone for Stuyvesant Hall, freshmen girls' dormitory, in September 1930. And in August, 1931 the great lens for the university's Perkins Observatory was at last finished and would be installed the fol- lowing month. Wesleyan students -- at least the girls -- found time and energy for shenanigans. The Gazette reported [Nov. 21] that the freshmen and sophomore girls had a riot on Winter Street, complete with hair-pulling and clothes tearing. The hot issue was the requirement laid on freshmen to wear their "bea- nies." The new girls objected also to being ducked in the showers in Monnett Hall and having their faces plastered with flour -- favorite devices of the sophomores for enforcing the beanie rule. They fought their way down Winter Street, cheered on by the male students. The entire night police force was unable to do anything. At last, when the primal in- stincts had worn out, both classes ended by parading vic- toriously down Winter Street. It was not quite clear who had won. Only the police force lost. For a brief moment you could forget the Depression. Also, Eddie O'Keefe of Boy Scout Troop 96 was awarded the rank of Eagle Scout by a Court of Honor. He was the first in Delaware County to attain such a level [Gazette, Sept. 16]. 1930 was the year when in Au- gust the Children's Home at the north end of town was badly damaged by fire. Reconstruc- tion would begin immediately. Some alumni would remember the grand old man of Delaware patriotism, Captain R. H. Kel- logg, Civil War veteran. He was honored on his 87th birthday with 87 roses and many letters from school children [Gazette, March 5, 1931]. At the end of that month Notre Dame football coach Knute Rockne, with eight oth- ers, died in a plane crash. Nicholas Longworth, longtime Speaker of the House of Repre- sentatives, died a week later. In April in Columbus a bill to permit Sunday movies was ap- proved 71 to 42. And in mid- summer Billy Sunday ad- dressed-- if that is the word-- hundreds in William Street Methodist church gathered for a dry rally. He was "aged but still vigorous" and let loose a "rapid fire line of stories" [Gazette, July 10. All in all, it was quite a year in Delaware, where nothing much happens. Chapter 4: Seniors at Last 1931-1932 A New High School Building -- Almost Even the Delaware Daily Gazette seemed to be weary of the long, drawn-out story. It had very lit- tle to say of the actual construction. After a brief restraining suit in June, which was quickly thrown out, the lawyers seemed too willing to let things go ahead. The final razing of the hulk of the south wing and the mess of underground preparation were accomplished. That fall, high schoolers could see beginnings on William Street, watch progress from the old north wing, and hear the whine of saws and the clatter of hammers. It was really happening! Citizens were treated to an artist's conception of the planned structure on the front page of The Gazette on Oct. 22. The accompanying account, still incorrigibly optimistic, said the work "nears completion." Bids have been entered for furnishings and equipment. Over 100 men were at work (in stark contrast to the other hundreds who had lost their jobs and couldn't find any work). The gymna- sium would be finished first, by Dec. 1 (but it wasn't). Then would come the auditorium. Gradually, in 1932, portions of the new structure were available for at least partial use. But what would become Frank B. Willis High School would not be finally ready until the following school year. By that time the last class to graduate from Delaware High School would be out in the world. The Great Depression If we are to understand properly the true history of the Class of 1932, it must be cast in the context of the Great Depression. Although our minds were largely on other things, that threatening backdrop was al- ways there, setting the parameters of our education and our lives. We in Delaware were part of an immense upheaval, caused by economic col- lapse and expressed throughout the entire structure of society. Much of the large action took place elsewhere. President Hoover that fall proposed a "stupendous prosperity plan" [Gazette, Oct. 7, 1931], including a fund by the na- tion's bankers to rescue failing banks. It was certainly high time. Major banks in places like Youngstown were closing their doors -- with de- positors' savings inside. In Delaware the Deposit Banking Company closed, then the Delaware Savings Bank. Depositors of course lost ev- erything they had. There was no FDIC or FSLIC. This led to the in- sertion of a front-page accounce- ment [Gazette, Oct. 24] by the First National Bank and the Delaware County National Bank that both in- stitutions were solvent and open for business. The state was heading for a finan- cial crisis, but so also were other forms of government, including school systems. All over Ohio voters turned down tax and bond issues. Collection of taxes already on the books was becoming more and more difficult as properties and businesses fell delinquent. After the elections of November it was feared that some 30 school systems in the state would have to close. Schools in Marysville were already closed, although they expected to reopen in January with other funds. The Delaware city council learned that there would be a large shortage for operation next year. In December both police and fire per- sonnel were without pay until Jan- uary. The Jane M.

Description An account of the resource [page 15] [corresponds to unlabeled page 15 of Delaware High School] feared it might have to close down. That month also came a great "hunger march" on Washington by the unemployed. The coal fields of southern Ohio were the scene of continual unrest, agitation, and suf- fering. The Hocking Valley Railroad, which ran its long coal trains through the western side of Delaware, was in deep financial trouble. By April miners and strikers were in pitched battle near Zanesville, and the National Guard was called out. Right in Delaware the Depression became more and more evident. The Gazette ran a full-page ad by the Bentz Variety Store, which had been in business for nine years, announc- ing that it was closing out. "The end has come." About the same time the Delaware County Agricultural Ex- tension Service closed because it had run out of money. Rumor multiplied the sense of disaster. President Soper had to make a firm official denial of the ru- mor that Ohio Wesleyan University would not open in the fall. But there was cruel substance to the 10 per cent salary cuts; these following a first 10 percent cut in the fall of 1931. In addition, thirty faculty posi- tions were being abolished. Those were the sad facts. Before we leave this unhappy story to deal with the magnificent theme of our senior year, let us give sober thought to the effects of depression years on our lives as students. They are diffi- cult to measure, partly because we were affected differently, and partly because those effects were in large degree emotional and mental. The Depression played its part, for better of worse, in molding our personalities. Maybe we learned how to deal with adversity at an ear- ly age. But from its effects we, even at our 50th and 60th reunions, are not yet completely free. Our whole generation still bends down to pick up pennies, turn off lights, and save things. Some of us escaped largely un- scathed by hard times. Others of us saw our fathers out of work, our families without income and some- times without shelter, our mothers desperate to find food bargains, our- selves or our brothers or sisters de- prived of the chance to get ahead. Some of us were marked for life. If not we ourselves, we saw our neigh- bors, our friends, our relatives, go under financially. Most endured all of it silently -- we didn't talk much about it in class and cafeteria. But we knew what was happening to us. There was pain, but it was private pain, usually known only in families, which had yet been taught to seek succor from the government. There was no un- employment relief, no social safety net. Men would work at any job, crowding out the children who might have done the work for the pittance wage. I spoke of permanent marks. Some of us learned to shy away from any personal relationship that might imply future obligation on which we might not be able to deliv- er. Personalities could be stunted as young people from depressed fami- lies turned away from anything that might cost money, might reveal poverty. We learned not to plan for the future. Was there any future for anybody in 1932.? Overstated? Perhaps, because there turned out to be a future for most of us after all. But that was not at all clear as we worked up toward commencement. Hope and expecta- tion, promise and possibility, existed for us too. But they were exceeding- ly tender plants. For escape from rigors of real life there were the funny papers: "Bring- ing Up Father," Joe Jinks," "Fritzi Ritz," "Little Mary Mixup." "Ben- ny," and "Looie." Or you could read the daily segment of Robert Terry Shannon's serial novel, The Love Trap. When that ran out, it was fol- lowed by Hazel Livingston's Em- bers of Love. If you just had to get out of town altogether, you could buy a round- trip ticket all the way to Cleveland on the Big Four Railroad for $2.35. It was cheaper, however, to stay at home and eat a big 5-cent Isaly's ice cream cone, or really live it up with whipped cream for 15 cents a pint. Yet it was our senior year Did the Class of 1932 succumb to gloom and depression? Of course not. After waiting three years we were seniors with nobody ahead of us, and only what sometimes seemed like little kids behind. Well, there were John Heinlen and John Sells and David Conrad, to say noth- ing of junior and sophomore girls of note. Privately we might admit con- siderable talent down the line; but they could wait their turn. We were the seniors, and everybody better know it. It was a heady feeling with the world open before us -- such as it was. We might even do a lick or two to fix that! School opened on Sept. 14, near- ly two weeks late because of the fi- nancial crisis. The "Weekly Delhi Echo," which got under way in the Gazette on Oct. 3, included Kathryn Chivington, Margaret Ann Freshwa- ter, and Helen Johnston on the staff. Senior class elections were held on Nov. 7. Frederick Norwood was elected president, Helen Eagon (who had tied with Walter Rybolt), vice president, Gilbert Barnes, secretary, and Margaret Anne Freshwater, trea- surer. In the Girl Reserves Marion Hub- bard was president, Katherine King vice president, Esther West, secre- tary, and Marie Jones, treasurer. Katherine Beck was president of the Senior Triangle. She led in such ac- tivities as the Dad's Banquet, where she gave the opening welcome. Part of the program was a skit, "Courtship under Difficulties," by Marie Jones, Katherine King, and Betty Huffman. Both Newcomb and Barnes were successively presidents of the Hi-Y, the other officers being Bob Miller, Smith Fry, and Dale Main. This or- ganization, as well as the Girl Re- serves, had rather overt religious ori- entation, common enough in public schools in the earlier 20th century. The Hi-Y was actually a branch of the YMCA. Our Yearbook, the Del- hi, edited by Newcomb, Barnes, Max Brown, Helen Laird, and Frank Minelli, with help from several other seniors, gives more systematic cov- erage of the school organizations. A bewildering array of organiza- tions proliferated. More than a mere listing here would be boring. Many of them were old standards. Dramat- ic Club, with Smith Fry as president and Violet Knight as vice president, had 50 members. Several factors, in- cluding financial stringency, pre- vented major production; but several one-act plays and numerous skits provided entertainment throughout the school year. The club was unable to take advantage of the new audito- rium because it was not available until the end of the school year, when the senior play was performed there. Margaret Marshman was adviser.

Betty Higley and Marie Jones were vice president and secretary of the upper class girls' group. Polly Perley accompanied both it and the boys' glee club. Both of these clubs performed at chapels and two high school nights. A double octet, composed of Fred Reider, Smith Fry, Sherman Moist, Robert Hartley, Fred Nor- wood, Robert Newcomb, Frazier Shipps, Richard Steckel, Helen Eagon Betty Higley, Betty Huffman, Helen Shamrock, Violet Knight, Marie Jones, Katherine King, and Ruth Vought, did special numbers. Its first appearance was on Dec. 18 at an assembly in Sanborn Hall, where it celebrated the Christmas season with carols. The Dramatic Club put on a one-act play "Dust of the Road," with seniors Smith Fry and Robert Hartley. The band was very visible as usu- al under the director of Vayne Galli- day. It was seen and heard of course at athletic meets, high school nights, and over radio station WAIV. A magazine subscription campaign helped provide a new bass horn and much needed repairs on uniforms. This outfit showed the school colors, orange and black, more vividly than other means. For some reason seniors were no- tably absent from debate teams. Moist was almost done. It was an off year, and both teams lost their debates. But a new organization, the Debate Society, came into being. Communication skills were also pro- moted through journalism, both in the Quill and Scroll. The officers of the later were all seniors, Newcomb, Hartley, Moist, and Laird. The Kiwi Club continued to en- joy large participation of both boys and girls. Don Mackley was still prominent in leadership and in mak- ing and flying model planes. He was supported by officers Don Johnson, Eleanor Kissner, and Florence Stet- son. There were two strong language clubs, both so large they had two sections. The French club was known as Notre Clique and Entre Nous. At a meeting in April Paul Sell gave a report on the role of the French in the American Revolution. At another meeting Betty Ropp spoke on French cities. The strong showing of Delaware High School in football and basket- ball continued in spite of the diffi- cult change from Coach Mac Barr to Ervin Carlisle. The latter, well known in Delaware for his perfor- mance at Ohio Wesleyan, quickly whipped the football team, which had only seven carryovers, into fighting shape. Junior John Heinlen worked well with Captain Sell to bring a season of victory in spite of a poor start. DHS, in defeating fa- vored Bexley, 7-2, won second place in the Central Buckeye League in which the school now had member- ship. With Ralph Bright, Bud Ry- bolt, Bob Miller, Sam Roberts, Chet Elston, Wayne Hilborn, Cy Fleming, Max Brown on the team, the seniors played a dominant part. The basketball team had a mixed season, but their performance im- proved. There were several hard- fought cliff-hangers. Toward the end of the season the new gym was more or less ready and saw both victories and defeats. One of the new "ene- mies" in the new league was Cir- cleville, which now matched Marysville in rivalry with DHS. That spring Jesse Brodnax was again outstanding in track events. On May 20 he "was easily the star of the meet" [Gazette] in winning the 100-yard dash by 10 feet. Ed Hagaman and Chet Elston also placed. At the same meet Sell set a new record in throwing the javelin 162 feet. In the more formal aspects of ed- ucation the seniors also left their mark. In the preliminary Ohio State Scholarship Contest they took all of the first five places: Woodbury, Newcomb, Norwood, Moist, and O'Keefe. In early May came the District contest, which included rep- resentatives from high schools in 16 central Ohio counties. DHS won third place (after Mount Vernon and Urbana) in overall achievement. Twenty-four of Delawrae's 30 repre- sentatives placed among the upper 10 in various fields. There were four first places and one second; Gretchen Huntsberger first in ninth grade English, William Hollister first in plane geometry, William Grube first in world history, and Newcomb first in 12th grade En- glish. Since Norwood came in sec- ond in the same, DHS had the top two places in senior English. Among other placers were seniors Barnes, Woodbury, Skatzes, and Miriam Rappe. Of smaller educational signifi- cance but perhaps more interesting were some of the personal aspects of adolescent life. This year, so the Gazette reported, girls were wearing dresses with stripes, either vertical or horizontal. These were embel- lished with bright scarves and "roll- your-own" tams. Plus mesh hose. Boys favored corduroys of bright colors, some with jackets to match. The big thing was sewn-in creases. Probably the most spectacular performance of the year was that by Max Rowland in early January, when in a Thursday first-period American history class he inadver- tently lit some kitchen matches in his pants pocket. None of us had known Max as such a high stepper. Some of the seniors were lucky enough to find part-time work to help out with family finances. Some of the girls were babysitting. Hartley had a dry-cleaning job; Harry Phillian worked for Miller & Jones; five seniors had jobs in Bun's Restaurant; Myron Stegner was de- livering milk; Helen Laird had a job at McClellan's Five and Ten. A springtime flurry of excitement was stirring in April by news that Eddie Cantor would judge the beau- ty contest among six girls, two, Frances Pearl Jones and Marion Hubbart, chosen by the student body, Violet Knight by the seniors, Esther West by the juniors, Martha May Galleher by the sophomores, and Gretchen Huntsberger by the freseman. All the seniors know how that came out. Two big events were the senior class party on Dec. 11 and the senior class play on May 20. At the Delaware Club rooms the Christmas party featured duets by Betty Higley and Fred Reider, accompanied by Katherine King; a skit by Eddie O'Keefe and Doris Patterson; anoth- er by Bob Miller and Dick Swearen- gin; and still another by Bud Rybolt, Victor Davis, Bob Ludman, James Wooster, and Chet Elston. Katherine King gave a reading, and Miss Dorothy Bussard sang two songs. After refreshments the evening was given over to dancing and games. The senior class play in the new auditorium was "Seven Keys to Baldpate." This was the first three- act play of the year, as well as the first dramatic performance in the new building. Here is the review in the "Weekly Delhi Echo" [28 May]. "Particularly noticeable was the scenery and lighting effect.

Miss Margaret Marshman deserves special recog- nition for the way in which she put these stage effects across to the au- dience. "Frederick Reider, occupying the center of the stage, kept his audience amused, while Smith Fry, in a role entirely foreign to his nature, han- dled his part with becoming ease. Marie Jones was charming in a part that called for little dramatization. Violet Knight walked away with the feminine acting honors, managing to keep the audience looking her way to see what she might do next. "Dale Main, in an extremely dif- ficult role, reminded us somewhat of Lon Chaney. Every other character in the play had his or her own partic- ular atmosphere to create and did so with amazing ease and noncha- lance." Note was taken in the paper that two of the actors, Wayne Hilborn and Bob Hartley, were acting in the place where their houses formerly had stood but made way for the new school building. Before this year-end event, how- ever, the seniors had "enjoyed" their various roles in governing the city of Delaware for a whole day, Thursday, May 4. A two-party campaign at school between "conservatives" and "liberals" resulted in election of Robert Miller over Sherman Moist as mayor. Wayne Hilborn won over Thomas Klee as president of the council, Margaret Anne Freshwater over Smith Fry as solicitor, Max Rowland over Richard Swearengin as auditor, Harry Phillian over Polly Perley as treasurer. Members of city council were also elected. After filling all the appointive posts, the seniors took over the oper- ation of the city for the day amid il- lusions of power and grandeur [Gazette). Winding down Everything crowded together in the last days of the school year as students but especially seniors tried to wrap it all up -- or rather to wind down from such frenetic excitement. In early May came the senior chapel (the first in the new auditorium), in which they "bade farewell to their public school days" and welcome the new Class of 1936. In this writer's memory the out- standing feature was a melodramatic creation by Frank Minelli and Sher- man Moist entitled "Sam Sinister's Revenge." Directing with skill which suggests comparion with his older brother's (Vincent) fame in Hollywood, Frank brought hero, heroine, dastardly villain, and other such complex characters to a cliff- hanging denouement, rescue at the last minute! Barnes, Moist, Nor- wood, Davis, and Miller were conned into participation. Kathryn Chivington, delivering the prologue from a safe distance, shared fame with the all-male cast. This was fol- lowed by "The Dizzy Baton," direct- ed by Mrs. Julia Sullivan. How Principal George Stuart was able to confer with proper dignity the several awards and honors in the midst of all this muck is a mystery. I guess he did it by coming on first. Awards were given to all placers in the District scholarship contest. De- bate letters went to Moist and some among the seniors. Cheerleader let- ters went to Marie Jones and Bus Austin. Every day now brought ir- refutable evidence that the high school life of the seniors was wind- ing down. On May 27 there took place the Junior-Senior Banquet in the new gymnasium. Margaret Anne Freshwater's special report to the Gazette ran as follows: "The junior-senior banquet held in the high school gym last night be- gan at a high tempo with Miss kathryn King playing some lively tunes on the piano while the group found their places. The gym was decorated in pastel shades of crepe paper streamers which were hung from a drop light so as to form a false ceiling. In each corner of the room there was a red or green light trained on the center of the room. The tables were placed along the east, south and west walls, while the orchestra's flower-covered bower was on the north. Lighted candles, bouquets of flowers, and streamers of vari-colored crepe paper decorat- ed the tables. . . . A program taken partly from "Alice in Wonderland' followed the dinner which was served by the sophomore girls. "The White Rabbit, John Rine- hart, was master of ceremonies. The first number on the program was 'The Mock Turtle's Story' by Lloyd Morrison, president of the junior class. It was in the form of a wel- come to the seniors. Fred Norwood gave, 'Advice from a Caterpillar.' Dodo, known to Delawareans as Frank Minelli, played the 'Saint Louis Blues' on his trusty friend, the harmonica. "Short speeches were given by Humpty Dumpty, Principal G. W. Stuart, and the Red King, Supt. R. D. Conrad. . . . Miss Margaret Marsh- man gave a talk on the 'Cheshire Cat' and how he directed Alice to go in any direction if she didn't care where she went. Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the boys' quartet, sang the 'Little Gray church in the Valley' and 'My Gal Sal.' This ended the dinner program. "The prom followed immediately after the banquet. The dance pro- gram followed the style of the dinner with each dance being named by a phrase from 'Alice in Wonderland.' Music was furnished by Held's Or- chestra. The prom ended at 11 o'clock, bringing to an end the out- standing function of the high school year." Earlier that same day the Year- book, Delhi, was distributed, and ev- eryone learned that Pearl was Eddie Cantor's winner. The same week saw the final ac- tivity of the Girl Reserves, the moth- er-daughter banquet in William Street church. After installation of next year's officers came a cafeteria- style dinner and then a program by students and mothers with solos, a mother's quartet, reading and other features. The banquet ended with singing "The Quest," "As the phrase 'We cannot be lonely because we stand together' was sung, the eyes of the seniors were suspiciously misty." [Gazette, 28 May]. There was not much left now, as we staggered into Gray Chapel for Baccalaureate Sunday evening, May 29. Rev. Stanley Mullen, who gave the address "Follow the Gleam," was assisted by several other Delaware ministers. Prof. G. Raymond Hicks played the great organ to provide the processional, "Pomp and Circum- stance," The girl graduates wore white dresses and the boys dark suits. On Thursday, June 2, the mem- bers of the Class of 1932 assembled once again in Gray Chapel, anxious- ly shepherded by teachers who had Title A name given to the resource Delaware High School 1928-1932 (p. 17) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/ec147a193b03e1c9d73c717136b297b5.jpg 8d3b61cde862ec7e3026b228cdc607ec Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Dorothy Bussard made the great organ shake with the processional, "War March of the Priests." Rev. Clarence. S. Gee gave the invocation and the string ensem- ble played. James Bevan gave the class oration, and the upper class glee clubs sang. Charles M. New- comb delivered the address, "High Adventure." Honors were awarded by Princi- pal Stuart, especially to Marion Hub- bard and Robert Newcomb as most representative girl and boy in the class. The class was presented by Superintendent Conrad, and C. C. Dunlap, president of the school board, gave out the diplomas. After the singing of the class song, Rev. D. Finley Wood pronounced the bene- diction. For about 100 seniors it was all over. And the new high school build- ing, scarcely used, was waiting for next year's classes. [photo of Frank B. Willis High School] Frank B. Willis High School was completed during the Delaware High School Class of 1932's senior year. The class of about 100 got to use very little of the new structure before graduating in June. The new building, now used as an intermediate school, began full ser- vice in the fall of 1932.

Description An account of the resource [page 19] [corresponds to unlabeled page 19 of Delaware High School] EPILOGUE Looking back over this story, I can't help noting two small items. First, the edition of the Gazette which announced the commencement program ran a full banner across-the-top headline: "CITY WORKERS' SALARIES CUT 5-25 PERCENT." What a world to be turned loose in! Second, I am troubled by the unintended symbolism of the stirring processional, "War March of the Priests." A few years later some of our classmates lost their lives in World War II. I am not a bit troubled by a third sobering thought: We are thinning out because we are growing old. The first two were man-made and part of the burden humans must bear. The last is not of our own doing but a part of life. No one can completely recover the "way it was." We have available only memory and recorded materials. But history properly should include all the way it was--all of the sense impressions that give life. You can't count on ephemeral memory even within a short life span. What color were those absurd "dinkeys"? You can't really see them anymore. Can you really hear the whistle of the Hocking Valley steam locamotive as it rumbled north drawing a hundred laden coal cars one sultry summer evening? And then there is smell. Can you smell the old-time oleo, that ghastly white stuff you had to convert from pale gob to yellow goop by mixing the color in? Can you taste new green peas fresh from your backyard garden or the corn on the cob picked no more than two hours ago? Do you know the feeling of riding your bike on some shady brick-paved street? Much of our high school experience consists of these sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and touches. Some of it is still in our heads. But we are not too sure about it any more. What was it really like? Maybe this history will help bring back and preserve some of the real story, D. H. S. redivivus!

Hayes Long before the first pioneers came, Indian tribes had established a camp here on the trail leading from the lower Scioto valley northward to the Sandusky Bay area. It is believed that a variety of medicinal springs may have been a factor in their selecting this as a campsite.(One of these springs is still productive on the Ohio Wesleyan University campus.) The City of Delaware was founded in 1808, the same year that Delaware County was formed by dividing Franklin County. It immediately be- came the county seat, and because it is almost at the geographical center of the State of Ohio, and because then, as is true today, it was situated conveniently on some of the main thoroughfares of the state, is was seriously considered for the site of the State Capitol before the City of Colum- bus was selected. In the early 1800's Delaware was one of the most popular health resorts in what was then known as the "west." Its Mansion House Hotel with its sulphur springs were, in fact, pictured on Staffordshire plates from England. During the War of 1812, Delaware served as the headquarters for General Harrison. But the city's greatest historical distinction probably stems from the fact that it is the birthplace of our nation's 19th President, Rutherford B. Hayes. Many relics of the city's past may be seen at the Delaware County Historical Society Museum at 157 East William Street.

Description An account of the resource [page 5] [corresponds to unlabeled page 5 of Delaware Welcomes You] For more than a century, Delaware has been one of the oustanding cultural centers in the state because it is the home of Ohio Wesleyan University. Founded in 1842 by Methodist pioneers who believed that the highest type of academic train- ing and the building of Christian character go hand in hand, the University has an annual en- rollment of approximately 2,000 students, almost an equal number of men and women, who come from homes in Ohio's 88 counties, and in most of the other states of the nation, the District of Col- umbia, Hawaii and several foreign countries. Along with its usual contributions to the com- munity in art, music, dramatics, and athletics, the University is a "bright light" which draws numerous celebrities - leaders in art, science, government, and other walks in life - to the com- munity. The Ohio Wesleyan Library is open to all and serves residents of the city and county. The Perkins Observatory, largest observatory this side of Mississippi, is located just three miles south of Delaware. It is open to the public from 4 to 5 p.m. daily. Ohio Wesleyan has many historic spots on its main campus, including the Sulphur Spring, the Mansion House Hotel, and a monument mark- ing the former site of the Barber Tavern which served as General Harrison's headquarters in the War of 1812. Legend has it that it was at the Sulphur Spring that President Rutherford B. Hayes proposed to his bride-to-be, Lucy Webb, one of Ohio Wesleyan's first coeds. The Mansion House was built in 1833 in the boom period of President Jackson to accommodate the stream of tourists and health seekers. The first building to be occu- pied by the University, today it is known as Elliott Hall and houses offices and classrooms. The University is now engaged in a building program which already has seen construction of two new residence halls for men and the Phillips Building at the right and is looking forward to a Science Center, a Communications building and others.

Two parking areas have been provided by the city to make it easier for you to shop and park near the business section. The last ten years have seen a steady indus- trial growth in Delaware and its environs. The chief reasons for this have been the many advan- tages we have been able to offer industries which are looking for a city the size of Delaware in which to locate. Our rail transportation reaches out in all directions. Many trucking companies also cover Delaware with their nationwide services. Four U.S. highways cross or are adjacent to Delaware. We are near enough to a metropolis - Columbus - to enjoy the advantages which such a city can offer. With regard to utilities we are served by one of the major electric power companies, an excel- lent natural gas supply and an abundance of good water. Our telephone exchange is new and has all the latest dial operated equipment. Our climate is sufficiently varied, offering us the four seasons, warm summers and mild winters with enough rainfall and long growing season which makes our surrounding agricultu- ral countryside a rich and prosperous one.

About one-tenth held factory jobs. Employment in plants within the county climbed to a monthly average of 1,900 by 1945 and is 2000 today. Principal products manufactured in the area include thermostatic controls, truck bodies and cranes, gas ranges, screw-machine products, hydraulic controls, instant coffee, canvas products and chemical specialties and brick. The labor situation is good. Most of our in- dustrial labor is local, above average in intelli- gence and skill, from which you can draw without importing an undesirable class of workmen. Besides being an ideal location for new in- dustries, Delaware offers every opportunity for expansion of existing industries, as is witnessed by the present expansion of Sunray Stove Company (see above) and the Denison Engineering Company.

There is an elementary school in each of the geogra- phical districts of the community - East, West, North, Northwest, and South. Willis Senior and Junior High School is centrally located on West William Street. Delaware also has one parochial elementary and high school. CHURCHES - The community is well served by 19 churches of many different denominations and they provide numerous outlets for religious and social needs. LIBRARIES - The Ohio Wesleyan library, of more than 180 thousand volumes, is open to all local residents and, in addition, the city-owned Carnegie Free Library in downtown Delaware serves both city and county residents.

Season and family memberships are available. During the colder months Ohio Wesleyan permits many local organizations to use its newly completed indoor pool in the Pfei- ffer Natatorium on the campus. FISHING AND HUNTING - Fishermen don't have to go far beyond the city limits to make their catches. Since the Delaware Flood con- trol Dam gates were closed 3 miles north of the city a few years ago, Delaware has had its own lake which is stocked periodically. The Scioto River, in the western part of the county about 7 miles out of Delaware city also offers good fishing. Boats may be rented at both loca- tions, but all motors must be licensed. Much of the area surrounding Delaware is rich with game for hunters. One of the favorite spots, though, is the hunting area near the Delaware Dam which is maintained by the Conservation Department. BOATING - Sail Boating is a popular sport on the Scioto River. Other small crafts are per- mitted there, too. Many city residents perfer boating on the reservoir north of the Delaware Dam where private boats may be docked for a reasonable rental. Water skiing is becoming an increasingly popular sport at the reservoir. TENNIS - Ohio Wesleyan University maintains a dozen tennis courts on its East and West cam- puses. These are made available to local resi- dents during the summer when the students are away. GOLF - Several golf courses are within easy driving distance of the city, but most local re- sidents hold membership at the Delaware Country Club, just three miles south of town. It is a good nine-hole course. PICNICKING - Two parks within the city limits, Mingo and Blue Limestone, have picnic facilities. Many residents drive to the Delaware Reservoir area's picnic developments and others head west to the Scioto River's east bank. Holiday Hill, west of town, is the scene of many company and community picnics and dinners the year round and offers square and folk dancing. SPECTATOR SPORTS - Besides their enthusi- astic support of Willis High School teams, local residents enjoy watching Ohio Wesleyan's "Bat- tling Bishops" in action in intercollegiate com- petition - football, basketball, cross country and track, soccer, baseball, tennis and sailing.
