In using the third column headed "Ages," enter the age of each person enumerated opposite such name, and UNDER THE PROPER HEADING of Male and Female, as required under the new law. In the next columns make a mark opposite the names of all such persons as are between 6 and 8; 8 and 14; 14 and 16; and 16 and 21 years of age. The next column will be used in the case of a Joint Sub-District. 2. As the law requires (see Section 4030) that the enumera- tion shall not only give names, ages, and sex, as above stated (and as shown in the ruled and printed columns on the next page,) but also to designate several other conditions named, additional columns are ruled on each right hand page, which are to be used to report the number of youth enumerated (if any) residing in the Western Reserve, the Virginia Military District, the U. S. Military District, and in any original surveyed Township or fractional Township to which belongs section sixteen, or other land in lieu thereof, or any other lands for the use of schools, or any interest in the proceeds of such lands. Each class should be properly de- signated at the head of such column. If yours is a joint Sub- District, enumerate all the youth who reside in an adjoining Town- ship, designating them in the proper column. A joint Sub-District belongs to the Township in which the school house is situated. Read also the law respecting enumeration of youth on the last page of this book.

Description An account of the resource [page 2] [corresponds to page 2 of Remembering OWU Sketchbook] It has been my habit over the years, to take a sketchbook wherever I go. I was encouraged by Miss Getz, an art professor at Ohio Wesleyan University. These drawings of Ohio Wesleyan and the town of Delaware span the years from 1966 to 2016. The earliest one was done when I was a student, and the others, during visits over the intervening years. The 2016 sketches were drawn when I attended my 50th college reunion.

I used to think, "how corny!" When I was telling my son, Chris, what I was going to put on the cover - " a note about my family" - his comment was , " Sounds kind of corny to me." Well, Chris and Dennis, traits pass from one generation to the next. So that's why I'm dedicating this book to you - because someday, in someone else's eyes you'll be doing corny things, too! A Family Is Love There's a special kind of closeness that only families know, It starts with early childhood trust and deepens as you grow . . . There's a special kind of comfort in knowing your family's there, To love and understand you, to listen and to care . . . Of all the treasures life may bring, your family means the most, And whether near or far apart, that love will hold you close.

Dad felt that since he now had a family of his own, he would join his dad and brother in farming, but suggested that grandpa look in the Columbus area for land. While attending O.S.U. he couldn't get over how flat the land was and thought this would be much easier to farm. Grandpa was then put into contact with O. W. Whitney, a realtor from the area. O. W. said he could sure find something and to tell Sam not to worry -- "there were plenty of good-looking women in Sunbury". However Sam was already planning to marry Mary Margaret Morgan from near New Athens, Ohio. Dad was to have been home by Christmas, 1945, but there were so many soldiers to process that he sat on a ship off the coast of California and didn't get home until January 1946. Soon thereafter, Grandpa purchased a home and 140 acres from Glen Perfect on N. Old 3C which at that time was a major highway. So, in April, 1946 we started our 150 mile trek from Harrison County. Sam and Grandpa drove the tractors. Grandma and Mary Margaret followed with a filled picnic basket. Dad, Mom and I stayed behind to take care of the cows until they could be trucked to Delaware County. Since it was planting season, Sam and grandpa borrowed Glen's machinery until their own could be moved. Finally everyone moved into the farmhouse -- grandpa, grandma, Sam, Mayne ( I couldn't say Mary Margaret), dad, mom, and me. Needless to say, I received plenty of attention with 6 adults in the household. A year later, grandpa bought the farm next door. Sam and Mayme moved into this house even though mom and dad were given first choice. Mom didn't think she wanted to live that close to her in-laws. Then in August, 1947, grandpa added the Fisher farm at the corner of Perfect Road and Centerburg Road. in March 1950, another farm was purchased about a mile up the road from the main farm. Mom, dad and I moved into this house. And, in November, 1958, grandpa purchased the home next to ours from Fenton Condit. Thus became the farm of 750 middle photo: Original Farm lower right photo: Wayne and Gerry's Home - 1976 .1. http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/f42e560dcd9eacda1e3d0dfc50908075.jpg 03f8fc84ef2ebcb76fdc716647eeea5d Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

He and his wife, with their four or more children, were living at Redding, that state, when there came a visitation of yellow fever, of which the wife and except one of the children were victims, the one surviving child, Frederick Jesse, having remained in Pennsylvania when the father came to Ohio, and trace of him having been lost in later years by the Ohio representatives of the family. In 1825 Daniel Reppart married Miss Hannah Stephens, who was born July 26, 1786, and within a short time after their marriage they came to Ohio and numbered themselves among the pioneer settlers of Harrison County where they passed the remainder of their lives. Mr. Reppart having died December 10, 1858, and his wife on the 23rd of the preceding May. They became the parents of two sons--David, who was the father of Thomas F. of this sketch. William S. Reppart was reared under the conditions marking the pioneer era in the history of Harrison County, and profited duly by the advantages offered in the common schools of the period. As a young man he learned the trade of stone mason, and as a skilled workman at the same he assisted in the building of the various bridges of the old-time plank road from Cadiz to Adena. He found much demand for his services as a mason, but his major occupation was that of farming and he was the owner of the fine old homestead farm on which he was born and on which his death occurred, as previously noted. He was reared in the faith of the United Presbyterian Church. Thomas F. Reppart looked with a characteristic boyish favor or disfavor, upon the enforced work which he did in the district schools of Short Creek Township, but he made good use of the advantages of the same and laid the foundation for the broad and valuable knowledge which he has later gained in connection with the practical duties and responsibilities of a busy and successful career. When he was a lad of thirteen years he began working by the month on a neighboring farm, and he continued to be thus employed until he was about twenty-two years of age, when he initiated his independent career as a farmer. His experience and his alert mentality have enabled him to direct his farm operations with marked success and he is today the owner of a well improved farm of 145' acres in Short Creek Township. On this attractive homestead he erected the present modern house, which is supplied with hot and cold water, the water being piped from a sparkling hillside spring on the farm. He is one of the progressive agriculturists and stock-growers of his native county and is one of the substantial and public-spirited citizens of Short Township. He and his family hold membership in the United Presbyterian Church at Cadiz. On the 9th of August 1883, was solemnized the marriage of Mr. Reppart to Miss Anna M. Morgan, a daughter of Dr. John and Martha E. (Yost) Morgan, of Short Creek Township, where Doctor Morgan was for a number of years engaged in practice as one of the able physicians and surgeons of the county and where, in later years, he gave his attention principally to the management of his farm. Doctor Morgan died in the year 1904 and his widow remains on the old home farm. Mr. and Mrs. Reppart became the parents of nine children--Lena E., Kate L., Carrie Ellen, John W., Leslie S., Frank T., Ralph G., Roy A., and Ferne. Lena E. is the wife of John K Cummins; Kate L, is the wife of George A. Hilligas; Carrie Ellen, who became the wife of Oliver Haverfield, died in 1914; John W. married Miss Helen McCoy; and Leslie S. married Miss Ruth Johnson. The four younger children remain at the parental home. John W., the eldest son, was one of the loyal sons of Harrison County who represented Ohio in the nation's military service in the late World War. He initiated his training October 6, 1917, at Camp Sherman, where he remained until the following May, when he left the camp with his .4. http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/95c75d8d36342cc2f603dfffc437b13f.jpg 0d06bbff593d65b1b5270b854baf9849 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource A Note About My Family (16) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 12 of A Note About My Family My Dad, Frank Wayne Reppart (June 2, 1923 - April 18, 1996) grew upon a farm in Harrison County, Ohio. As a young child he contracted polio, but since his mother made him do constant exercises, he was left with no noticeable after-effects. He had on older brother Samuel Morgan (February 22, 1992 - December 13, 2000). Dad started to school at the age of 4. This was so that he and his brother could walk to school and watch out for each other. The only story I know of him as a young boy was that he hated elderberries so he use to pick them as they ripened and throw them over the hill, so his mom couldn't make anything out of them. From other people I get the impression he was quiet and a good student. He also took violin and piano lessons. A favorite lunch time activity of the entire school was to climb Science Hill and sled down. He went into town for high school and graduated from Cadiz High school at the age of 16. Because of his age, his parents made him stay home for a year and work on the farm before he was allowed to enter Ohio State University. But he wasn't there long before he received his draft notice. He first went to Kansas and then on to the island of Tinian in the Mariana island. This is the island from which the bottom left photo: Wayne top right photo: CERTIFIED COPY OF BIRTH RECORD .12. http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/8d2ddb5e4821b312a68fff40569d87b7.jpg 4a6fd81f55a32ec5b61813a9cbb65937 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Of course, the only ones who knew the bombs were on the island were Colonel Tibbets and probably a few others, which makes the only war story of dad's that I know even more interesting. Dad's job was to drive the army supply trucks out to the planes to be loaded. Usually his best friend, Bud, went with him because Bud liked to sneak on the planes for a ride. He always tried to talk Dad into going with him, but Dad was afraid of flying. I often wonder how close Dad's brush with history might have been. Dad was always involved with many church and community activities throughout his lifetime. I can remember many evenings that he went without dinner just to get me to concerts or recitals on time. top left photo: Dad at OSU top right photo: Dad middle photo: Dad, 2nd from left bottom left photo: Wayne, Frank, Sam bottom right photo: Father and Two Sons Raised At Sparrow Lodge .13. http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/f084848d082bd2fcee0592b618ec1d1f.jpg 60fef16be4fb073095886d565ffe1c80 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource A Note About My Family (19) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 15 of A Note About My Family September 11,2001 is a special day to most people. but to me, it has a double meaning. You see it's my mother's birthday. She would be 78 today if she were still alive. It's hard for me to imagine my mother as getting old. She will always be young to me because she wasn't much older than I am now when she died in 1988. My mother Dorothy Geraldine Bates (Gerry), was born in Cadiz, Ohio on September 11,1923. However, her last name could just as well been Fieldler. When Grandpa Bates was 4 years, his mother died. His father, William Fieldler, felt he couldn't take care of both a preschooler and an older son, so my grandfather was adopted by his mother's sister and her husband, William and Sara Bates. Meanwhile , his brother, Gail , was reared by their biological father and they never saw each other again until the 1960's. My mother was responsible for this. She spent many years looking for her Dad's Brother and finally found him, married (wife, Irene) and living in Detroit. He had no children of his own and was very excited in his later years to find he had a huge extended family. Mom was the fourth of 10 children. Grandpa ran away from his adoptive parents when he was 14 because they were so mean. His adoptive father owned a coal mine, so grandpa had gained much experience as a shovel operator. I have been told there is a article in "Excavating Engineer" which states that he dug more dirt on the Panama Canal than any other operator. He married Marie Johnson and they had 10 children. top right photo: CERTIFIED COPY OF BIRTH RECORD middle left photo: Mom and Grandma Bates .15. http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/d8a67e4809a9d3a8615ade3678d56592.jpg 9309003d4c9bc9064d50ba62bbd2de9c Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Then dad (whom she met in high school) got drafted. He called her from Kansas and said if she wanted to get married, she'd better catch the next bus, because he was to be shipped overseas. They were married in Lyons, Kansas, on June 8, 1944 and soon thereafter he was on his way to the island of Tinian. Like Dad, Mom was also involved in many church and community activities - a bowling league, Searchlight Club, Eastern Star, Euchre Club, and a camping group that she and Dad enjoyed for many years. And how will I remember my Mom? - as a fun-loving, energetic lady with a lot of common sense. top left photo: Cosmetology School Picture top right photo: Mom & Dad's Wedding Picture bottom left photo: Mom and me middle right photo: CERTIFIED COPY OF MARRIAGE RECORD .17. http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/a38202c38692c0c76f32d958afc9f0f1.jpg 27d303b26c7ea41a056952360bead4a4 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource A Note About My Family (35) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 31 of A Note About My Family Grandparents I was fortunate to have all four of my grandparents into my adult years. I was closer to the Reppart grandparents since I lived just about a mile from them. When I was about 5 years old, I got mad at my parents and told them I was running away from home. When mom asked where I was going, I told her I was moving in with grandma and grandpa. She thought she would call my bluff and told me to go pack my bags, and then she and dad would drop me off on their way to the movies. I packed them, hopped in the car and off we went. When we drove by grandma's house without stopping, I cried and cried. So did mom , I think. Grandma Reppart was a very classy dresser and always wore stylish hats to church. I especially remember a red hat with a big brim and feather that she wore to church - - it wasn't hard finding her sitting in the congregation. Twice a year she took the whole bunch (Sam's and us) shopping in downtown Columbus. That was a major trip because, of course, there were no malls or freeways. She didn't drive so her treat was to take all of us to Mills Cafeteria to eat. She then would buy me a new outfit for Christmas or Easter depending on the season. I always liked what she chose because she had great taste in clothes. Grandma was also a great cook. I remember watching her make her famous baked chicken. She always went down to the milk tank and got the cream off the top for her chicken - - and angel food cake from scratch -- yum! Once in a while I got to go to the Little Brown Jug in Delaware with them. She always wore her furs that had the foxes with the beady eyes -- they always looked as if they were staring at you. And, she always played the piano while the rest of us gathered around to sing -- a proper lady she was! My Bates' grandparents lived in Cadiz (125 miles east), so I didn't get to see them often. It was a three hour drive one way through hills and curves. Since Dad milked Jersey cows, he only had every other Sunday off. He and Sam alternated Sundays and they had a hired hand, George Fravel. We would leave early on Sunday, stay for the afternoon and then drive back in the evening. When I was younger, I used to spend a week in the summer with my Bates grandparents. My cousin, Dawna Coleman, would come spend the same week. The Bates' lived in town and it was coal country. I remember we had to clean off the porch swing every day before we could use it. Once during the week grandma would take us to play BINGO. This was her big vice. One evening I won $2.00 so I was hooked. She was ornery as Grandma Reppart was proper. I called her on her 60th wedding anniversary and top right photo: no caption middle left photo: My Grandparents Esther and Frank Reppart bottom right photo: My Grandparents Marie and Bill Bates .31. http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/567a9a791b4be0e20666405a858c5288.jpg 2e9ce1f45f70e3a6b11d28caf0f79dad Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

She said it was none of my business. So I told her I wanted to know if it was worth waiting for. She told me to "Call her back in the morning and she'd let me know." Well, I guess that brings us up to June 17, 1945 - my birth. This is a letter written to my dad who was on Tinian in the Mariana Islands. The letter was written by Grandma Reppart and I am the "it"she refers to in the letter. I was born in Martins Ferry Hospital in Martins, Ferry, Ohio. middle left photo : page 1 of a letter written by Grandma Reppart to her deployed son announcing the birth of his daughter and explaining the difficulties of his wife's labor. top right photo: page 2 of the letter describing the procedures of her birth and the difficulties removing the baby from his wife, Gerry. bottom right photo: page 3 of the letter promising to visit with Gerry while she stayed in the hospital and that she would keep in touch with him. bottom left photo: envelope of the letter from Mrs. Frank Reppart to her son, Frank. .32. http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/31c8b56489a4f0ae24cadace81daacbe.jpg c515b92260389fd3c562c0c1ddaad48f Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource A Note About My Family (37) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 33 of A Note About My Family Just a few months later, we moved to Sunbury into the big, old farmhouse on North Old 3C Road with my grandparents, Aunt Mayne and Uncle Sam. I grew up on the farm playing with cousins, Bob and Harold (Hank). Pat joined the group eight years later in 1954. My Sister My sister, Mary Patricia, was born April 24, 1954. since there was 9 years difference in our ages, we didn't have a lot in common. She was called Mary Pat until she got older. Now she goes by "Pat". When she was just a few months old, I was holding her. She jerked backward and flipped on the ground. It scared the wits out of me since I was only nine. When she got a little older, she used to pick on me and I took it - - until one day I hauled off and gave her a bloody nose. She ran to mom and mom told her she deserved it. One morning, I remember, we were waiting for the school bus. For some reason she had put eggs in her coat pockets. But, she had forgotten they were there, and jammed her hands in her pockets -- eggs everywhere! Mom had to do a quick change on her before the bus came. Another time she had to sit at the table until she tried a bite of everything on her plate. She refused. After about two hours Mom cleared the the table, so Dad moved her to the living room and told her to sit there until she decided to try whatever it was she wouldn't eat. He sat her down -- she stood up -- he sat her down -- she stood up -- and so it went. I decided to go to bed and I think that was a battle she finally won. Pat has always liked animals and she had a horse for 4-H. Her last horse, Wendy, died in 1998 in her mid-thirties. We thought the barn was going to fall in before the horse died. When she was a sophomore in high school, she started having trouble with her back. After going to several doctors, they found that a vertebrae had deteriorated in her back. Since it was so close to the spine, the doctors were afraid to operate, so they put her in a body cast from her knee to her neck. She had to be flat on her back for six months. Mom and Dad used to borrow the top left photo: Harold, Bonnie, Pat and Bob bottom left photo: Pat bottom right photo: Wendy and Pat .33. http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/37efadee863fe1ab69fd9c95760df5fc.jpg 79c94a67c19e2e1e7ef8064bc65e392f Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

She vowed that she would go to the prom that spring and she did. She was very weak and had lost a lot of weight, but with help of a cane, she made it. Pat married Charles (Charlie) Browne in 1973. They did a lot of sailing and Pat even sailed from Port Clinton to Detroit by herself. Once, when she was climbing down from the upper deck to go below on a friend's boat, she misjudged the number of steps on the ladder. She ended up with five pins and a metal bar in her ankle. Of course, that was after she decided to finish the weekend sailing. Another time she and Charlie were at Middle Bass Island, there was a tower which was closed to the public. However, that didn't stop Pat. Some guy who had a little too much to drink started up. Charlie gave her a boost and she followed him. When they reached the top they mooned the crowd. That's my sister. She and Charlie also did a lot of snow skiing. When they were first married they lived in Michigan where Charlie was finishing college. They had a lot of opportunity to ski there. After they moved to Galena they used the golf course for cross country skiing. Charlie worked for his dad, Browne Brothers Remodeling and Pat worded several years for AT&T. She now has her own pet sitting business. They divorced in 1986. Pat and her two dogs, Charlie and Gabby, and several cats now live in the house we grew up in. top right photo: Big Walnut Homecoming Hopefuls left middle photo: Pat and Charlie's Wedding bottom right photo: Pat with Bear and Gabby .34. http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/eda3501cd2da67124382df7872306062.jpg a32ebfc7b5af9a57478843e7b6d4c6a8 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource A Note About My Family (42) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 38 of A Note About My Family Farm Memories One of my favorite times on the farm was in late summer. We all got together to freeze corn. Grandpa, Sam and Dad would take a wagon out early in the morning to pick sweet corn. While Grandma, Mayme and Mom washed the cartons, the rest of us would husk the corn. Then the operation moved to Grandma's basement. The men boiled the corn and then transferred it to big tubs of ice water. After it cooled, Grandma, Mayme and Mom would cut the corn off the cob into big bowls. Then Bob, Hank, and I spooned the corn into the containers. By the end of the day, everyone had plenty of corn to last the winter. Then there were the times Grandma, Mayme and Mom dressed chickens. Then had an assembly line: Mayme would chop off the heads; Grandma then put them into a pot of boiling water; then Mom and I plucked the feathers. The onlly problem was we would get to talking and forget what we had done. One time Mayme handed the chicken to Grandma to put into the boiling water. Trouble was - she had forgotten to cut its head off. I loved playing in the hay mows. Bob, Hank, and I used to build tunnels out of the hay bales. Then sometimes we would jump from the second floor into piles of hay below. When I had friends over, they liked to go to the barn. As we would walk through the milking parlor, Dad would squirt them with milk as he milked the cow. Of course, after the automated parlor went in, he could no longer do this. My Childhood Neighborhood When I moved to this area as an infant, our address was Route 1, Condit, Ohio. Yes, Condit had a post office. There were North Condit, South Condit and Condit Station. We lived closest to North Condit where the post office was located. It was the 2nd house south of the N. Old 3C and Condit Road intersection and west of the intersection was a dentist office. On the southwest corner was the Condit Store. they carried a little bit of everything. One fall they got in three dolls with hair. I had never seen a doll with hair before, so, of photo: DAIRYMEN!

Title A name given to the resource A Note About My Family (43) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 39 of A Note About My Family course, I had to have one for Christmas. Mom kept telling me how expensive they were, so I wouldn't be disappointed on Christmas morning. That didn't make any sense to me since Santa would be bringing it anyway. But on Christmas morning the doll with the red hair was sitting under the tree. South Condit (located at Hartford and Condit roads) also had a general store and the Presbyterian Church. The Wilsons, who were members of the Church, owned the store which made it convenient when we needed something at the church. Condit Station (St. Rt. 3 and Condit Rd.) had Condit Landmark which burned to the ground in the eighties and the brick and tile mill. The road which went beside our house was called Perfect Rd. (it was gravel and full of chuckholes). When our boys were growing up, they always wanted it paved so they could roller skate. A small bridge crossed Perfect Creek and this is where I learned to swim. The water under the bridge was about six feet deep so the bridge was a great place to jump from. It was also a great place to get leeches. We knew everyone along N. Old 3C and I traveled it many times on my bike. The Hollis' lived near North Condit, and each winter, they hitched up their horse to the sleigh and picked me up for a sleigh ride. Near the other end of the road. was the roadside park where groups and families gathered for picnics and fun. About 1/2 mile from us was the 3C apple orchard owned by the McDonalds. At one time, they owned a small restaurant on St Rt. 3 between Condit and Centerburg. This was a great place to stop for homemade apple pie. There are many new businesses at Condit Station now -- Carter Lumber, Heston's Greenhouse, Whightsel's body Shop, Genoa Paving, Midwest Sports, RED auto sales, Anna's Market, and J & J Carpet. in North Condit, there is Morningview Care Center. And in South Condit, there is still the Presbyterian Church -- is that some kind of sign? My Church Soon after we were settle in our new house, finding a church became a priority. Since the Repparts are all Presbyterians, they gravitated toward Condit. However, Mom had been brought up a Methodist, so she wanted to check out all the Methodist Churches in the area. One Sunday they ended up at the Wesleyan Methodist Church. This was not quite the type of Methodist Mom was used to, and it turned out to be quite interesting that day. In the end, Lolly Searles proved to be too much competition for the Methodists, and the Repparts joined the Condit Presbyterian Church in October, 1946. Here, my parents formed some of their strongest friendships -- Bernard and Lolly Searles, Dud and Gladys Townley, Wendall and Doris Day, and Dale and Lucille Bailey. The Searles' daughter, Evelyn Ann, became one of my good friends. "Nan" and I spent many years going back and forth between each others homes. Mom and Dad became involved with the youth group, and the Reppart men sang in the choir whenever possible. All the men eventually became Elders and the women belonged to Friendly Club. At age 12, I joined the church. We had a very active youth group and a choir that included many high school students. These became my favorite activities. At that time, Marian Whitney, my piano teacher, was the church organist. By the time I was a freshman, she started giving me organ lessons and working me into the Sunday morning service. Grandpa Reppart told me that if I learned to play the organ, he would buy me one. He did .39. http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/e63c14f9e92fa72114beea0aa537445d.jpg c4d4a5903cc7a5f17c3e893ec2007f94 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource A Note About My Family (44) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 40 of A Note About My Family and I still have the organ today. Before long I was playing the entire service. I think Mrs. Whitney had an ulterior motive in giving me these lessons. The big church event at that time was the ox roast. The men spent the night roasting the meat in pits. Tents were set up in the side yard where all the food was served. Today the smorgasbord has replaced the ox roast. Jim and I were married in the Condit Presbyterian Church on July 10, 1966 by Rev. Jim Dowd, and both our sons were baptized there -- Dennis by Rev. Doug Orbaker and Chris, by Rev. Peter Crego. Jim is now an Elder, and I am involved with the Friendly Club. We also worked with the youth of the church for several years. I an now the director of music which entails selecting and organizing all musical activities of the church. I play the organ and direct three bell choirs. My favorite time of the year is the Christmas Eve service. Many former members come back to join their families, and there is always such a warm feeling that night. I think it's a beautiful old church, but then I'm prejudiced. In the sanctuary hangs a quilt made by the members. It has all the names of the church's founding members, all the former ministers and all members who have belonged to Condit. My dad was the only male to do some stitching on the quilt, so it has special meaning to each time I look at it. Sunbury - Galena (As I remember them) Sunbury had everything. On the east side of the square were my two favorite stores- Hill's Drugstore and Miss Louise Sheets' Little Shop. The drugstore made the best chocolate sodas in the country for a quarter. Hills had a soda fountain and booths in the back. It was a great place to hang out. The Little Shop carried ladies fashions and later she added some baby items. Also on the east side were The Sunbury News, the tavern, Williamson's Garage (a Chevy dealership), and White's Grocery. After it burned down, it became a five and dime which carried all sorts of odds and ends. A little bit east of the square was the library. It was always fun to sign a book out and look at all the names of the people above you on the list who had read the book. Across the street from the library was the Post office. On the northeast corner was Roots Department Store. One side of the store carried shoes and boots - the other side had clothing of all types, fabric , notions, ladies' hats, and most anything else you can imagine. On down the street was The Farmer's Bank where my family did their banking. One spoke only in hushed tones whenever you entered the bank. On the northwest corner was Miller Implement. Above the store they used to have square dances until it became too dangerous. On the southeast corner were apartments and Dr. Livingston's Office which was in the lower level of his home. Next to it was Hoke Electric and Lenhart Hardware. It had atmosphere -creaky floors and stuff everywhere. We never had any reason to stop anywhere else except for our semi-annual trips to downtown Columbus. Meanwhile, just a mile south, was the village of Galena, where Jim was growing up. Between Sunbury and Galena was the Galena Brick Plant which was owned by John Shultz. They had their own quarry and our house is built out of Galena brick.

There was the Galena Bank, a hardware store, and Jimmie Vance's Shell station. Anything big that happened, happened here. One day the boys from Croton came to whip the boys from Galena, who were hiding in the Shell Station. As the Croton boys were getting out of their car, Cliff Conley jumped through the picture window. The Croton boys took off never to be seen again. This was the big talk on the playground at recess the next day. Elementary School Years At age 6, I entered Sunbury Elementary. My 1st Grade Teacher was Mrs. LaFaber, and she was scary! She was very tall and paper thin with a strong square jaw; and, at the time, I thought she was probably about 80 years old. She was also very strict and was one of only two teachers to call me Bonita. Our classroom was down in the basement of what is now the older part of Harrison Street Elementary. The cafeteria was in a separate building, so we had to go outside each day to go to lunch. The Sunbury Locker (now the IGA) was next door, and at noontime they opened up an outside concession where we could go to buy goodies - BB bats and Sugar Daddies were my favorites. Many families had space in the lockers to store their meat since not many people had freezers yet. It was always fun to go in there in the summertime, because no one had air conditioning either. When I arrived home from school those first few days, I always had extra pennies in my pocket. Mom asked me where I was getting the pennies. I informed her that Larry Stone wanted to kiss me when I got off the bus each morning, so I was charging him a penny to do so. My best friend was Shelia Warner. I had met her before school started at the square dances which both our parents attended each Saturday night in the elementary school gymnasium. In the 2nd grade I missed a whole grading period. First, I got mumps (only on one side). then when that side started to go down, I got them on the other side. This was directly followed by the old-fashioned measles which lasted a long time. My classmates made a get well book for me which I still have today. This year I made another good friend, Carol Bodenman. Her family had moved here from Texas, and her mother became Dr. Livingston's nurse. Carol, Shelia and I were inseparable.

This was the year I started wearing glasses, and they have been a permanent fixture on my face ever since. Junior high (7th and 8th grades) were in the same building. These were the years that we began to change classes for each subject. My favorite teachers were Harold Tippett, who taught math and Norm Nelson, the social studies teacher. Mr. Nelson was the only other teacher to call me Bonita. I especially enjoyed noontime. We all square danced in the gym (even the boys and they weren't made to). Soon I would be moving on to high school. Here I would meet a whole new group of people because our high school had consolidated a few years earlier. Galena Elementary and Harlem Elementary (located in Center Village) would be joining us. But I was sure our group would be superior. How could anyone from places like that possibly know all that we Sunbury people knew? I entered Big Walnut High School in the fall of 1959 and decided to take the college preparatory course. At the time, Big Walnut had an excellent band. One year we were chosen to play during half time of the Columbus Jets football game. The yard lines had not been clearly marked and we "goofed up" big time. When we returned to the school that night the band director, Wayne Chaffin , made us march until after midnight. I also became a member of the dance band which was a very close-knit group. Each spring we played for several high school proms including one at the Mt. Vernon Country Club. None of us had ever been to a country club before, so we were impressed. I was also treasurer of the band my junior and senior years. I must have had an honest face, because I was also elected treasurer of my junior and senior classes. My enjoyment of math continued through high school with Estell Miller being one of my favorite teachers. Lolly Searles, who taught English, and Jacob Master, the Latin teacher, were also favorites.

This is a fine recitation, and I am sure both you and Mrs. Whitney will be proud of it - not just because you receiv- ed a "high mark," but because that mark shows you are accomplish- ing something very much worth-while in your study of theory. In spite of their "elementary" content, these first lessons in theory are exceedingly important to the serious student of music, and you will find you thorough understanding of them a valuable asset as you proceed with your study of the text. Congratulating you on the fine beginning in your work on the Progressive Series and hoping to see you maintain this high standard throughout the Course, I am, with best wishes Sincerely yours, Art Publication Society A.E.

In my junior year, I found my calling. I had a part in the junior class play. Upon one of my entrances, I received an ovation. Needless to say I was also a part of the senior class play. In my junior year I was inducted into National Honor Society and elected to the basketball homecoming court. I was dating Jim Caudill at the time, but I couldn't ask him to be my escort because he had already graduated. Oat Whitney put on a campaign to be my escort that you wouldn't believe. At the time, "Mousey McLaughlin said he would be my campaign manager to see that I was elected queen. How could I refuse them!? I continued with piano lessons throughout my high school years. During the summers, Mom gave me a quarter every Saturday, so after my piano lesson, Evelyn Searles and I always walked to Hill's Drug Store and got a chocolate soda. This was the highlight of my week. My! How times have changed for teenagers! In my senior year, I decided I would get more good out of typing and speech than physics and math IV. As I was about to give a demonstration speech one day, the teacher, Lolly Searles, suggested I get up on her desk so people could see better (I was demonstrating a dance). Just as I got on top of the desk, in walked the principal. Everyone roared with laughter(except the principal and me). We also did a few senior pranks that year -- telling freshmen they were wanted on the phone in the principal's office -- fainting while classes were changing and blocking the hallways -- asking people to look for contact lenses (and blocking the hallways) and , of course, locking "Mousey" in his locker. I'm not sure when they finally let him out.

Title A name given to the resource A Note About My Family (48) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 44 of A Note About My Family College Years After graduating I attended Capital University in Bexley. Since I had applied late, I had to commute the first semester. I had decided to major in speech and minor in music. An audition was required before being accepted into the conservatory of music. I joined the off campus organization so I could meet some of the other students, but the real fun began second semester when I was able to get a room in the dorm. I had what I considered to be a nice but "strange" roommate. The girl next also had an "unusual" roommate, so we ended up together. Her name was Donna Crabbe. She and I both appeared to be quiet and reserved. However, we both had our "other" side. Donna's roommate was a music major and played the cello. So one day we sent out invitations to everyone in the hall inviting them to a concert. Donna played the cello (she had never played one before ) and I sang operas In Italian (my own version, of course). We were just having fun. What we didn't realize until a year later was that the rest of the girls thought it was for real. During my sophomore year I joined the drama club and the drill team. All sophomores had to live in houses owned by the college since there wasn't enough dorm space. A group of 8 of us planned to get together in the same house. What a time we had that year! Donna and I hosted many crazy parties that year. One memorable party was for Abraham Lincoln's birthday. Invitations were sent out. Dress was black tie and gifts were required. I dressed as Abe and Donna was Mary, my wife. Among the many gifts I received was a condom. Well, this was the 60's you know. I also became known as the "Mad Chinaman". When I got mad (which was rarely), I spoke in Chinese. Again, only a select few knew I was making it up as I went along. This was also the year of many late night trips to the "barf-burger" (White Castle) after late night cramming--flooding our neighbor's bedroom, and setting some leaves on fire (by the girls' downstairs) so we could have a middle of the night fire drill. Our poor house parents! I found my niche that year at Capital.

Title A name given to the resource A Note About My Family (51) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 47 of A Note About My Family Jimbo James Dennis Caudill was born July 2, 1943 in the old St. Ann's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. He grew up in a house on Sunbury Road in Galena and attended Galena Elementary School. He was a cub scout and enjoyed fishing and hunting. In high school he ran track and played baseball. Jim got his first job at the age of 13. He and friend John Gabriel, pulled weeds, mowed grass and painted barns and houses -- all for 50 cents an hour. One afternoon after he and John finished painting barns at the Gabriels, they decided to work on a car which John's brother, Bruce had purchased. They sanded the '48 Plymouth and then loaded the mothball attachment of Mrs. Gabriel's Hoover sweeper with candy apple red paint. According to Jim, the pain went on real smooth. At 16 he cleaned machines and swept floors at Kline Manufacturing on Redbank Road. The machinists were required to pick up parts in another room while machines were running. Bill Butsko was considered to be the fastest in the plant at doing this. You had to get on the forklift, pull a rope cord to open the door, drive in, get the parts, get back out, and back to your machine. One day Bill took off on the forklift and grabbed the rope, but it slipped through his hand. Of course, the door didn't open, but Bill was going so fast, the forklift went right through the door. The forks were at at an angle, so the machine was lifted about a foot off the floor and left him dangling. Jim said it sounded like a freight train. Later, Jim started doing drafting at Klines while he was attending Franklin University. Three months after we were married in 1966, Jim had the opportunity to begin the tool and die apprenticeship program at Western Electric on E. Broad Street. It was a 5 year program. after grading, he was a tool and die maker for less than one year when he was promoted to the engineering department as a tool and die designer. To quote Jim, "Every day at Western Electric was action packed."

In 1991 he received the outstanding engineering award for civic contribution. By this time Western Electric was known as AT&T. When he retired on December 31, 1993, he was a research and development engineer. Jim also helped my dad with the farming. He designed and built a sprayer that fit on the back of his truck. When my parents went to Florida in the winter he took care of the pigs. One pig was so smart, he learned to unlatch the pen and was always out waiting for Jim. All through his life Jim has been interested in and worked on guns. He is now a professional gunsmith and is known all across the U.S. as the "Mauser Man." While I was shopping in Westerville one day, a clerk at Sherman-Williams took information to send me wallpaper. When he saw my name, he then asked my husband's name. After I told him, he said, "Let me shake the hand of the Mauser Man's wife." He then announced to everyone in the store that the Mauser Man"s wife was shopping in his store. I received a 15% discount card, good for one year. Gunsmithing started as something to keep him busy in his retirement -- he now has about a 2 month backlog. He also had a volunteer job - the reason for his civic award at AT&T. In 1979 he started coaching little league soccer, the 1st team in Sunbury area. As more teams formed and the kids got older, he decided Big Walnut High School should have a soccer team. After 2 years of research and much nagging, we were able to get soccer in the high school in 1985 as a club sport on a one year trial basis. For this to happen, we had to raise money for uniforms! Jim built soccer goals by adding crossbars to the football goal posts; the Lions donated soccer nets; I made corner flags. The school agreed to pay for transportation on the school buses. A typical day for Jim during soccer season went as follows: upper left photo: sprayer on back of Jim's truck upper left photo: James Caudill Receives Promotion at Western Electric James D.

In 1987, Big Walnut won the CBL Championship and Jim was chosen CBL Coach of the Year. Jim joined the Army National Guard in 1964. He was with the First Battalion, 166th Infantry Delaware Post. Numbers in the guard were quite high at this time. Young Men hoped that by joining they wouldn't be sent to Vietnam. I also noticed while at Capital, many men were going into the seminary after graduation so they could avoid the draft. Basic training was at Fort Dix, New Jersey. While at Fort Dix, Jim received the marksmanship trophy and was sent to non-commissioned officers training academy. After he came home he was made the mess sergeant of the Delaware Post. Each summer he spent two weeks with the Guard at camp. On one trip to AP Hill, Virginia, he noticed the nice new stainless steel kitchen of another company as the Delaware unit was moving in. The other company was "partying" because they were leaving the next morning. Jim decided to "trade" kitchens with them since their own was pretty beaten up. Since the other unit was leaving the first thing in the morning, they wouldn't have time to look for theirs. On another trip to Grayling, Michigan, they forgot to check the next day's menus. When they got up in the morning they realized they were to have turkey for dinner. Of course, the turkeys were frozen solid, so they turned the burners as high as they would go, put the turkeys in the boiling water, packages of giblets still frozen, but they were ready on time. Needless to say, whenever Jim cooked at home, there was always enough for an army. In 1969, Jim was named NCO of the year. That same month, his unit was sent to deal with the riots at the Ohio State Pen. I was nine months pregnant at the time.

We went to Cape Code for our honeymoon. the first night we stopped in Wooster, Ohio and stayed at the Wooster Inn. I think we were the only two guests in the whole inn and the room had twin beds, so when we moved the beds together you could hear the noise all through the Inn. The next morning we continued our trip. We had to drive through parts of New York City -- we just hadn't planned on driving through Harlem. We crossed the river and were in the left turn only lane. It was about 90 degrees, and, of course, our car was not air conditioned. When we realized where we were, we rolled up the windows and locked the doors. This must have been a common occurrence, because at the next were policemen yelling, "where are you headed, Ohio?" They got us back on the right track. I think I always wanted to go to Cape Code because the song by Patti Page which speaks of "Quaint little villages, sand dunes, and salty air'. Well, salty air was blowing about 40 mph, so you know what that did to the sand dunes. This was the 60's and the hippies had taken over the "quaint little Villages" but they were even more interesting. On our return trip, we took a different route through New York and stayed in the Adirondack Mountains. I guess these few obstacles didn't deter us, because we love to travel whenever we can. Our first home was an apartment at 827 S. James Road in Columbus -- monthly rent $82.50. For an extra $5.00 we could have a window air conditioner, but we decided to forego this big expense. It was an usual group of people living in this building. Upstairs was a man who each Friday would come home, unload the beer from his truck and disappear into his apartment until Monday morning when we would see him leave for work. Across the hall was a divorcee in her 40's who was constantly peeking out her door. Next door was a single woman who thought our name were Bonnie and Clyde. Since we had only one car, a Plymouth barracuda, we needed to live close to the bus line. I was finishing my last year at Capital and each morning I caught the bus for $.25 at Main and James. The bus driver got to know me, and if I got caught by the light, he would wait for me at the corner until the light changed.

Title A name given to the resource A Note About My Family (57) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 53 of A Note About My Family intended to teach . I obtained a position as sales manager and worked under the only female buyer at Lazarus, Dessa Sands. She could hold her own with any of the male buyers. Sometimes she took me with her on her buying trips -- across the street to the Southern Hotel where the New York people came in with their merchandise. I left Lazarus in April 1969, to start a family. Since children were not permitted at the complex on James Road, we had to look for another place. After much looking we decided to build on my grandparent's farm. However, my grandfather had been involved in automobile accident a year earlier and the other couple was suing the estate. While we waited for the suit to be settled, we moved in with my grandmother since my grandfather had died in 1968. After a year, we decide to look for another apartment since we didn't know how long it would be before the suit was settled. We then moved to 1092 McNaughten Road. This was closer to Western Electric on E. Broad Street where Jim worked. While we lived here, I put out a monthly newsletter about the people and activities of Carnaby Village. I also organized quarterly social events for the complex. We met our good friends, the Ratchfords, while living here. In 1972 we started clearing the woods on Perfect Road so we could start our house. Chris was born in 1973 while we were at Carnaby and in May, 1974, we moved into our current home. Soon after we moved I became involved with Pablum to Prom CCL and a bunch of fun gals who enjoyed playing bridge. We watched each other's children grow up, marry, and who now have their own children. While the boys were young, I did substitute teaching at Big Walnut High School. Then when Chris entered high school, I became a part-time teller with the Delaware County Bank. upper left photo: 1092 McNaughten Road middle right photo: 14920 Perfect Road bottom left photo: Bridge Group Sandy Imertreijs, Bonnie, Joyce Cook, Lee Miller, Jaynee Alkire, Val Pederson, Frances Jenkins, Betty Cocklin .53. http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/76e9e97a46f80297e6d29fc3371c2fe7.jpg fc27d31a7194e1dec7fa13b5c21e7abe Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource A Note About My Family (58) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 54 of A Note About My Family Dennis Dennis Wayne Caudill was born July 28, 1969 at the old St. Ann's Hospital in Columbus. He was delivered by Dr. Ray Jennings, Lolly's brother. I wanted a doctor who would go to St. Ann's because at that time it was the only hospital in the area that would allow husbands in any time of the day. - not just during visiting hours. Dennis was named after his father and grandfather. Because he gained so much weight quickly, people thought it would be a long time before he would be able to sit up. Instead, he was sitting up at 4 months. But he never crawled. He went from sitting to walking. The first thing he did with all his toys was turn them upside down to see how they worked. He was also a lefty. When he started to use silverware, he would switch it to the right hand - he would put it down and pick it back up with his left. The first year of his life we lived with Grandma Reppart while we waited for a lawsuit against the farm to be settled so we could build a house on the farm. Since it was taking so long, we moved to Carnaby Village on McNaughten Rd. in Columbus. Here, he learned to swim at the age of 3. We went to Colorado that year. It was July and hot. He ordered hot chocolate, but the waitress informed him it was out of season. His reply, "Well, Damn!" Our home in Sunbury was finally finished and we moved back in 1974. Dennis played little league baseball and took up trumpet in the 5th grade. When he was nine, I saw an ad in the Sunbury News about playing soccer in Westerville. Since he was small, I thought he might enjoy this. He and Doug Paxton were the only ones from Sunbury playing soccer at the time so our families shared the driving. It was from Doug's brother that Dennis learned about model airplanes. While working on a model one day, he severed a tendon in the palm of his hand. It was a nice clean slice that gave upper left photo: Dennis - 1972 middle right photo: Dennis Holding Chris bottom left photo: Dennis and Flint - 1974 .54. http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/5ac67056f4ca5c8e1bc0b7d984b6e180.jpg 13efc16307e2f59d1fc209109d3b2592 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

After a procedure at Grady didn't work, we took him to a surgeon at Mt. Carmel East. He has use of his finger but it has a slight curvature to it. When Dennis entered the 8th grade, Jim and I began to try to get soccer into the high school. There were always reasons why we couldn't have soccer, but I think the biggest fear was that we would take players away from the football team. Finally, after surveys and much work they agreed to allow it on a "club" basis. We were responsible for all expenses except "away" transportation which was provided by the school. When they honored Jerry Rensi recently (deservedly so) they credited him with bringing soccer into the school; not quite right - we did that after a three year battle. After Dennis graduated from Franklin University in mechanical engineering in 1992, he got a job designing model airplanes for Direct Connection RC. The motors were built in China and they were having a problem with them, so Dennis was sent to China to do some trouble-shooting. Dennis now works as an automation engineer for Anomatic in Newark. Dennis married Cheryl Hidebrand in 1992. Cheryl moved to the Big Walnut area from Columbus in the 9th grade and played on the high school co-ed soccer team. She graduated from OSU and works a graphic market manager for Multi-Plastics in Lewis Center. They live in a house they built on the farm on N.

At this time St. Ann's was the only hospital that allowed fathers into the delivery room. As they were wheeling me to the delivery room, Jim came running up. He said he couldn't find the right size gown. I looked at him and said, "What do you think this is - a fashion show!?! Jason's first home was on Mc Naughten Rd. in Columbus. We were in the process of building our home in Sunbury and moved there when he was just 7 months old. Jason was always very independent. One day when he came home from kindergarten, he had papers that said "Andrew" on them. I told him that he brought someone else's papers home by mistake. He informed me they were his papers. He had changed his name. About a week later, he went back to Jason. Then at the end of the first grading period in first grade, he brought his report card home. "Jason" had been crosses out and "Chris" written above it. I assumed he had changed his name again and ignored it. However, 2 months later, he was still going by "Chris". What a problem when I sent Christmas cards that year! I signed them all "Jim, Bonnie, Dennis, and Chris" and then had to write a brief explanation how Jason was now Chris. In the second grade, Chris' teacher suggested that he should take art lessons because he was very talented. He started lessons with Vera Lott in Central College. His picture of football player, Art Schlichter, was best of show at Westerville Arts Festival one year. In the eighth grade, his eagle design was used for the yearbook cover. Chris came to me one day and said he would like to learn to play on the piano the theme form "Star Wars". So he started lessons with Mrs. Bosher in Sunbury. In the sixth grade, she gave him a book with the Star Wars theme in it. He learned the song, came to me and said he was ready to quit now. No amount of talking could change his mind. The summer before Chris entered 5th grade, the school district was reorganized and he was switched to Souders. I knew he would be apprehensive about this , so I started to talk it up. I told him we go over and go through the school and that he would meet a lot upper right photo: Chris Caudill lower left photo: Dennis and Chris Caudill .57. http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/9181be31164aa5d8435e5fcf01459250.jpg 0c793c216c569422552fea3dced27f6a Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

He informed me that , "There aren't nice people at Souders." He adjusted fine and one of his best friends today came from Souders. In high school, Chris ran track and played soccer. He graduated from Franklin University in mechanical engineering and now woks as a mechanical design engineer at Lakeshore Cryotronics in Westerville. He lives with his two cats, Gin and Tonic, in a house he built in 2000 on the farm. Chris had a rather ominous beginning to the year 2003. He had just gone to bed after the Fiesta Bowl on January 3, when he heard a strange noise. He looked out his front window and saw the shadow of a man with a maul over his head pounding his front door. He called 911 and loaded his shotgun. By the time he came out of his bedroom, the 6 foot, 300 pound man was standing in his bedroom hallway with the maul over his head. Chris asked his name and told him to get out of his house. The man left and the police caught him a little later.

The trio worked in the International Broadcast Center. Steve Carr, who owns his own business and has traveled throughout the country designing and building television studios, remains in Atlanta working 12-hour shifts providing technical assistance to keep the studio running. The people working in the building have suffered through several bomb threats. Michael and Chris were on hand only for the studio set-up. Steve's wife, Mary Jane Carr, a teacher at Big Walnut High School, visited Atlanta during the Olympic's' first few days. "It's like a huge fair," Mary Jane said, describing the vendors and atmosphere surrounding the athletic games. She said they had no trouble getting around using the public transportation system, and relying on friends to help negotiate the streets.

Title A name given to the resource A Note About My Family (63) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 59 of A Note About My Family Pool The pool has always been center of activity at our house - for family gatherings, soccer parties and bank picnics. At one party, I caught a soccer player ready to jump off our roof into the pool. Then in 2000, our church helped the Files family with their autistic son by working with him until funding became available. His mother, Christine, felt bad because she wished she could spend more one on one time with her daughter, Beth. I suggested that each Tuesday afternoon they come swim while others were working with Sammy. After a few weeks, I thought it would be more fun for Beth if others were involved, so I opened Tuesdays up to what I called "community swim." Ever since then I have had community swim on Tuesdays from 1:00 to 5:00. In 2004 , my great nephew, Willy learned to swim in our pool. Pets My first dog was a black cocker spaniel, Spud, purchased form Bunice Hicks who lived in North Condit. Each day when I got off the bus from school, Spud was waiting for me by my bicycle. When I was in Junior High,Spud developed a tumor. We took him to Dr. Burwell who was going to operate the next morning. When the phone rang to go pick him up, it was Dr. Burwell saying that he had died before he was able to do anything. Jim's family had beagles. He, his dad, and his brother like to hunt, so they always had a beagle. When Jim and I married, we went to the pound and brought home Mitzy, a mutt. We had her for several years. Guy , a stray, came next but he was hit by a car. One day we came home and there was a white spitz sitting on our porch. He acted real happy to see us like we were long-lost buddies. We assumed he had run away from a neighbor, Dr. Preston, who boarded dogs for the animal shelter. We took him back but Dr. Preston said it wasn't one of hers. Yea, Right! We named him Foxy. One day I happened to say "What are you supposed to do?" and he sat up. So someone had taught him tricks. When Foxy died, we bought an American Eskimo, Bear. He was a great dog and lived to be 14. One done day he was riding in the truck with Jim. The window was down about halfway. Bear saw a squirrel and jumped through the window while the truck was going about 50 MPH. When Jim looked in the rearview mirror, Bear wasn't moving. He came to and Jim rushed him to the hospital. His leg was broken in three places. They put rods on the bones and wrapped them with stainless steel coil. When he healed, you couldn't even tell he had broken his leg. He became an expensive dog. It seemed we always had cats.

One day Dennis, started to pet one while it was sleeping and frightened it. The cat jumped on his head and I heard him yell for help, he was methodically pulling out each claw. It was the weekend and I called Dr. Livingston. He said to bring him in, but he didn't have a nurse-would the blood bother me? I said no. Dennis had to have several stitches. The stitches didn't bother me but I about passed out when he gave him the numbing shot. Another time we came home and there was a cat on our porch. I asked Jim to please take her to the barn in the morning- we didn't need any more cats. The next morning he couldn't find her. A few days later we could hear her crying in the attic. She had gone there and had her kittens. (You can get into our attic through the garage). That was in 1998. Mommy kitty has been with us ever since. Recipes I hate to cook! It's not that I can't cook. As a matter of fact, people ask me for my recipes all the time. It's just that I figure why spend all that time and energy when it's going to be gone in ten minutes! At a funeral dinner one time at the church, a man asked Lolly Searles who made the German chocolate pie. When she pointed to me, he put his arm around me and asked, "Are you married?" My Grandmother Reppart was a wonderful cook. A couple of recipes are still used every year at the Condit smorgasbord. Of course, the problem is there is no recipe, and no matter what I do today, my baked chicken will never taste like hers because she always used real butter and dipped the cream right off the top of the tank in the milking parlor. I've decided to include some of the most popular recipes I have which brings me to another thing--if I like them, they must be easy! Grandma Reppart's Baked Chicken (serves 4) 4 chicken breasts (or legs, thighs, etc., to equal that) 1/2 loaf of bread, in cubes 3 x broth to 1 x milk Salt, pepper, and butter bread crumbs, toast in oven Boil chicken, take off bone, save broth. Place in casserole--layer of chicken, bread crumbs, etc. until used up. Put butter over the top. In pan on low heat, mix broth, flour, and milk (don't ask how much-- I don't know, it's called trial and error) Pour over the chicken and bread.

Title A name given to the resource A Note About My Family (66) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 62 of A Note About My Family Wedding Mishaps If I've learned anything from playing for weddings the past 20 years, it's to always bring extra music, because you never know what might happen, and don't be surprised by what you might be asked to play. One couple who were avid O. S. U. fans requested "Buckeye Battle Cry" for their recessional. Somehow the organ just didn't do this song justice. The following are just a few of my memorable wedding moments. 1. Being asked to play the organ for a wedding and when I went to the rehearsal the night before, I found out there was no organ. The couple had never been in the church--they just thought it was pretty. 2. Playing for an outdoor wedding. I didn't think about the light breeze playing havoc with my music. It took two people to hold it down. 3. During one rehearsal, the minister and the bride kept arguing with each other on how things should be done. 4. There always reasons why weddings don't start on time--flower girl forgets her dress, best man gets stuck in traffic -- the list is endless. But does anyone think about the organist? I had to came up with 25 minutes of extra music once while we waited. 5. Then there were always the weddings with soloists. You're never sure how much music they really know. One soloist I worked with had a decent voice but knew nothing about music and had never sung in public. I asked what key she sang the song in and she had no clue what I was talking about. So I started playing. After a couple of lines, I could see the song was too high. However, she couldn't go very low either. We spent the next 3 hours -- yes, I said "3 hours" --rewriting notes so she could sing this one song. On the day of the wedding, she got up, I played the intro -- she sang one line, turned to me and said, "I can' do this," and sat down. Another soloist I worked with had a beautiful voice. She decided she would rather accompany herself, and, unbeknowst to the the bride, would do eight pieces. I figured I wouldn't have much to play, but took a couple of extra pieces as I usually do. When I arrived, she bounced up to me and announced, "I've changed my mind -- I'm only doing two songs before- - you'll have to fill in the rest. 6. Sometimes you wonder who actually selects the songs for the wedding. At one wedding the bride informed me she wanted one song for the bridesmaids to come down the aisle to, and another one for her. We rehearsed the night before with the two songs. It only took only tow lines of music for the bride to get down the aisle, so since I limited on space, I turned the second page of my music under. That still left me four lines of music. I started the music for the bridesmaids and they all came down. Then I started the music for the bride -- no bride. Everyone was starting to look around wondering what's happened. I can't flip the music, so I have to start all over again -- and again -- and again. Finally as someone goes to see what's going on, she comes in. She didn't recognize the music and didn't realize it was for her until she looked in and saw everyone standing. 7. Finally there was the wedding I was told would start at 5 P.M. I started playing at 4:30. At 4:50 the assistant came up to ask how things were going. I said fine, but I hadn't seen the minister yet, and I was getting worried because I only had a couple of songs to go. She asked if I thought the wedding started at 5:00 -- to which I replied "yes". Oh, no, it starts at 5:30 -- the music starts at 5:00. The invitation had also read 5:00, so many guests were there at 4:30 to hear music. I got up, walked out, came back at 5:00 and started all over again. Now, when they tell me the time, I always ask if that's when the music is to start or when the ceremony starts. .62. http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/6e4ff08bdf0b6d27193681462c41db1d.jpg 95b89f3c8d7649d9e1b6a8ed13e58de7 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource A Note About My Family (67) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 63 of A Note About My Family Florida In the 70's my parents purchased a truck camper. They enjoyed camping with a group of friends and often took Dennis and Chris with them. They upgraded to a small camper and started going to Florida - first to Apollo Beach and then later Bradenton where they eventually stayed. When the kids were on spring break, we took advantage of their place. The park had everything - a pool, miniature golf, basketball, and tennis courts and a creek complete with alligator. Jim and I both love the water and sunshine and enjoy staying on the west coast of Florida. But one day we decided to travel to the east coast and see how the other half lived. We decided on Ft Lauderdale. The first two motels were - how should I say - gay couple friendly only. You should have seen the look on Jim's face when he came out of them. I wish I had had the camera ready. The 3rd place we tried asked Jim if the room was for a man and woman or two men. When he replied - man and woman - they replied, "Oh good!" Well the room looked fine. The next morning I was sitting on the bed with pillow across my legs. As I looked down, I could see little black things moving across my pillow. I yelled at Jim and he said he had thought he felt things crawling on him during the night. We immediately put all our clothes in a separate plastic bag and left our pillow there. All the way back to the west coast, we kept checking each other for bugs. Alaska Jim and I like to travel. We try to avoid tourist attractions and gift shops that carry items that say "made in China". We hope to visit all 50 states and all the Canadian provinces before we die. We enjoy traveling by car and don't like to travel with groups or make reservations ahead. In 1999 we drove to Alaska - 10,559 miles. Besides clothes, we had bottled water, extra gas, flares, Jim's tool box, and a tire patch kit. We left mid-August and stopped to visit a niece and her family in Nebraska and a nephew and his family in Idaho. As we entered Seattle on Friday afternoon (not a good time to do that), I heard a funny noise coming from the trunk. We were then going so slowly due to the traffic, that I didn't hear the noise anymore. We went up the Space Needle that evening and could see Mt. Rainier. When we left in the morning, I could hear the noise again. Jim decided it was the brake pads. We thought we'd better change them before we started into the mountains. Jim pulled into an auto parts store and bought brake pads and a C-clamp. The salesman asked him what he was going to do (noticing we were from Ohio). Jim informed him that he was going to pull into the Sears parking lot and change the pads. They couldn't believe it, but he did, and an hour later we were on our way. Two day later, after spectacular scenery and a lot of wildlife, we arrived in Skagway, Alaska, the birthplace of the gold rush. This town had a real Alaska feel and so much to see that we stayed longer than we had planned - an advantage when you're on your own. After leaving Skagway, Jim remembered that we had not brought an air compressor with us. We finally went through a town that was big enough to have a store that sold photo: Our Florida Home .63. http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/3e569b55732684c3b5145f2afccdf321.jpg 9e8f2936316e71340a82026863e7b954 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Someone was watching over us - after eating that evening we went out to the truck to go to our motel and our tire was completely flat. Jim used the compressor and then plugged the tire (for the first time.) On our way to Anchorage we went through Palmer, where the Alaska State Fair was starting the next day. However, one look at Anchorage and we turned around and returned to Palmer. Anchorage was too much like Columbus. Palmer is the farming area of Alaska. We saw fruits and vegetables that looked like they had a thyroid problem. On our way to Fairbanks, we drove by Denali- too many tour buses for us - and we were seeing all kinds of wildlife right along the road. Fairbanks was another great area. We went to the Malemute Saloon for a wonderful show where they did the poetry and music of Robert Service. I recommend it for a lot of fun. There was much to do in this area. Our next destination was Chicken - a must see! The road to Chicken was not quite two lanes wide, gravel, and filled with potholes - and of course, no guard rails. And, of course, it had rained all day. Nevertheless we arrived in town which consisted of a saloon, liquor store, cafe, emporium, and outside facilities only. The town ran on generators. And by now, we had another plug in our tire. Across the Top of the World Highway and across the Yukon River on a ferry into Dawson City in the Yukon. This town has no paved streets and remember - it had rained all day. This town was right out of the picture books. Then things got real interesting - drive 50 miles, put air in the tire, then plug it - drive 50 more miles, more air and another plug. By the time we arrived in Prince George, we had 12 plugs in the tire. We stopped at a tire dealer and everyone laughed. They had never seen so many plugs in a tire before. And, of course, a trip to Alaska wouldn't be complete without a bathroom story. We had driven for miles with no facilities in sight. I told Jim that the next good spot he found, he had to to stop. So, at a pull off with some pine trees, he stopped. He told me to go down over the hill in case someone else stopped. But the hill was not a gradual slope - it dropped off about 3 feet. He told me to go lower - another drop off.

Jim told me to stay down and he put the hood up like he was checking something. Of course, the man in the other vehicle came over to see if he needed any help. Knowing Jim I was afraid that he would engage in small talk for some time. But the man soon left and Jim told me it was OK to get up. Now, you know how your legs feel after you've been stooping down for some time. Then I had the problem of getting back up those ledges with nothing to hang onto. I finally made it and we continued through Canadian Rockies (beautiful), past the Mall of America (after stopping of course ) and back home. We were gone a month having enjoyed unbelievable scenery, meeting several interesting people, consuming wonderful food and sure that we're going back. upper right photo: Jim changing tire bottom photo: Alaskan scenery .65. http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/4fc2550d3dfbc2dee987decac9a2585b.jpg 4de7790a7a276f8e9b2bfbcbbee3618a Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource A Note About My Family (70) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 66 of A Note About My Family Miracles A Guardian Angel -- God is not done with me yet -- or just plain luck? In September, 1985, I was sitting in my van reading a magazine as I waited for the soccer bus to leave the high school. On the bus were Jim, who coached the varsity at the time, and Dennis, who was playing. They were running a little late and the next time I looked up the bus was pulling out. Seat belts were were not mandatory at the time, so I didn't take time to buckle up. As I caught up with them, Charlie Mill pulled out behind me. He had never seen a soccer game and wanted to follow us to Westerville North for the scrimmage. Just south of Big Walnut Road, a driver heading north fell asleep and went left of center. He hit the front left fender of the bus and then the left rear wheel of the the bus traveled over the car's hood. This formed a nice ramp-like effect for my van to climb. I went up in the air, flipped over and landed upside down between two trees. The car then hit Charlie who was behind me. As soon as the bus was hit, Jim ran to the back to see what happened to me, but by then, I had gone over the embankment. He yelled for Marsha Jones to stop the bus, but she had no brakes. Meanwhile, I was crawling on my hands and knees on the ceiling of the van. I had visions of my van bursting into flames -- too many movies, I guess, I was trying to get out but the front passenger door was jammed. I couldn't even get to the driver door. The roof was smashed down into the driver's seat. Thank goodness I hadn't put my seat belt on. On my trek to the rear door, I noticed the ceiling light was on. In my crazy mind all I could think of was "Oh boy! Jim is going to kill me now- - I'm going to run the battery down." I climbed up the embankment at the same time Jim was running back to me. The trans am had wiped out a school bus, totalled our van (which was less than one year old) and Charlie's car and no one was hurt (I broke a fingernail). The trans am had expired tags and the driver had an expired license and no insurance. In order for my insurance company to recoup their loss, I had to testify at a hearing before Ben Espy. When I asked if I would receive a copy of his decision, he was surprised. He said no one had ever asked him that before. However, a few weeks later I received his report saying the driver had filed for bankruptcy so all he could do was revoke his license for two years. Ever since the blizzard of 1978 we have supplemented our electric heat with wood. So, over the years. Jim has cut down many trees for our wood supply. On December 20, 2000, there were several inches of snow on the ground and temperatures had been in the teens all week. I had gone to the church to practice and, unbeknownst to me, Jim had gone out behind the house to cut a tree down. I had been at the church a couple of hours when I heard pounding on the back door. When I went to the door, Jim was standing there with a roll of paper towels held to his head. He said he thought maybe he should go to the emergency room. I asked him what happened and he said he didn't know. At first I tried to clean up the blood then I realized there was too much and told him we better go to the hospital. He informed me that he had to take the dog home first. I said the dog could stay in the truck at the church but he insisted we take the dog home first. So he drove the truck back home with me following. When we got home, he then informed me that he had to change clothes. While I waited, I began to notice blood all over the walls, all over the bathroom allover the kitchen--well, you get the picture. I couldn't figure out what was taking so long photo: wrecked truck .66. http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/8187c54e7d23089caecb540c408e1968.jpg 46e495902b02bbf87e617838460f029c Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

When we arrived at the hospital, he walked in on his own still clutching the paper towels to his head. Once inside he finally began to thaw out. Then he stared to turn black and blue and swell up. By evening he had been admitted with a concussion, 38 stitches and bleeding in his head. Later that night Dennis followed the blood trail through the woods to try to figure out what happened. The 50 foot tree he had been cutting was cracked halfway up. As the bottom went away from him, the top came back and hit him in the head knocking him unconscious. According to Dennis, there was blood and skin on the tree, and the ground was soaked with frozen blood. His trail showed he had just missed the pool when he walked back to the house and there was blood on the sliding door where he tried to get in. He then walked around to the front which was also locked. He remembered he had an extra key in his truck, and in all this, he remembered to bring his chain saw back with him. He was able to come back home Friday after bleeding had stopped with no driving as his only restriction. Of course, Sunday was Christmas Eve, so I had to play Sunday morning and evening. Saturday morning he wanted me to take him to Northland so he could do his Christmas shopping, I told him he could do that after Christmas. After some back and forth discourse (that would be the polite term) he informed me that if I didn't take him, he would drive himself on Sunday morning while I was at church. Needless to say, we went shopping on Saturday. He turned many heads since he was black and blue from his head to his waist and 38 stitches don't disappear over night. One clerk asked what had happened and before he could answer, I told her that's what happens when you tell your wife you are not getting her anything for Christmas! Think about it--neither of us should be here --guardian angel?--does God have something in mind for us? --or were we just plain lucky?! Deaths In the early morning hours of June 5, 1988, I awoke to sirens. Soon after, the phone rang. It was Dad saying that Mom had a heart attack and they were rushing her to St. Ann's Hospital in Westerville. Mom was hardly ever sick but she did take medication for high blood pressure. I met Dad at St. Ann's where I saw my mom alive for the last time. They transferred her to Mt. Carmel at 3:00 AM where they had more sophisticated equipment. Her x-rays showed a 98 % blockage of her main artery, but Mom wanted nothing done. Her younger brother's by-pass had not been very successful. We all went home and tried to sleep,. About 8:00 AM I received a call to get back to the hospital, but I already knew in my heart that she was gone. She was buried on her and Dad's 44th anniversary. As we sat at the funeral home prior to the service, a group of people started laughing. Dad leaned over to me and whispered, "Now, this is a funeral your Mom would've liked." 1 1/2 years later Dad married Virginia Nelms on November 25, 1989. She lived in Harrisville and they had gone to school together. Dad moved to Harrisville since her dad and mother were still living. Her mother was in a nursing home nearby and her dad, at age 96, lived in the house next door. He was able to make a trip to Sunbury to see Dad's farm before he died. A few years later, Dad started having problems which the doctors could not pinpoint. Then in April, 1996 while he was was in Florida, Dad died of a subdural hematoma. Our emergency trip to Florida was the "trip from hell". It was a beautiful day in Columbus but there was severe weather elsewhere and they were diverting all planes to Columbus. When we arrived at the airport at 3:00 PM, it was wall to wall people. As a result, we were .67. http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/250246e9a19c94dd870770276b9c21b5.jpg ee352baec97e4e049188b9881dd17a5e Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

When we finally got out of Columbus at 7:30, we had to go to Detroit to change planes. They were backed up because of the weather, and we had to circle until a place became available to land. Of course, then we missed our connecting flight. We were put on stand-by. By 10:30 only limited flights were going to Florida and none were going where we needed to go. We had a choice of Ft. Myers - 2 hours away - or Ft. Lauderdale on the opposite coast. Jim sweet-talked the airline workers and got us on an 11:30 flight (first class) to Ft Myers. After we got in the air, we realized we had no transportation waiting at Ft. Myers since we were originally landing in Sarasota. He called the rental company and they said they closed at midnight. He begged and pleaded with them to wait until we landed at 1:30 AM. They said they had nothing left. Jim told them we'd even take a camel. Well, they just happened to have a huge van left. Jim told them we would take it. When we arrived they were all leaning on the counters, drinking coffee and trying to stay awake. They did laugh when we came in at 2:00 AM. Now we're in this huge van, trying to figure where the inside lights are so we can see to put the seats up. Jim never could get his seat moved forward so he had to drive standing up and we still had a two hour drive ahead of us. Then I suddenly realized that they close the gates of Dad's park at 9:00 PM and we don't have a gate opener with us. Originally, someone was going to pick us up at the Sarasota airport. When we finally got to Bradenton at 4:00 AM, Jim decided the only thing we could do was climb the fence but, just as we arrived, someone was pulling in ahead of us, so we trailed them in. The trip took almost 14 hours by plane. We could have driven faster! 9-11 On September 11, 2001, everyone's world changed. I am writing this on October 11, 2001 - exactly one month after the collapse of the World Trade Towers in New York City. It seems like only yesterday, and yet, September 10th seems like a lifetime ago. On September 10th, I hosted CCL at my house. I had made patriotic bookmarks for everyone in preparation for a talk I was going to give on patriotism In November. I had also asked each member to think about which freedom is the most important to her - an exercise merely to make each realize how much we take for granted. To me patriotism is as necessary for the survival of the country as love is to the survival of the family. Less than 12 hours later I was watching planes crash into the World Trade Center. Unbelief and anger were my first reactions. The reaction of my two sons were an interesting contrast. Dennis called immediately from work. He wanted a minute by minute description of what was photo: Pablum to Prom CCL Front: Beth Clark, Me, Carol Elliot Next: Anna Marie Beach, Joan Hunter, Mary Lou Mackley, Nancy Houser Back: Joyce Seitz, Erlene Girherd, Alison Webber, Donna Orders, Kathy Finck, Joyce Stockwell, Linda Kahler, Marsha Garee and Sherry Buel .68. http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/1d01633a4c42e8bb6adb4c56600fc5a6.jpg 666a466e675bc223ca52088dcab53e56 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

An hour later he called back for an update. It was while I was talking to him that the first tower collapsed. By 11:00 A.M. I had not heard from Chris, so I decided to call him. His response was, "yes," he had heard and that we shouldn't be tying up the phone lines. Now a month later, my anger has not subsided - and I've yet to feel fear. After being glued to the TV for two days, I finally forced myself to go back to my normal routines, Would I be afraid to fly? Well, heck, I was afraid to fly before September 11th, so things haven't changed for me. Another month has passed - a month full of Anthrax scares now. But I'm still not afraid. It's not that I think it won't happen to me - it's just that I feel I need to continue to be informed, think smart, and live each day as best I can. Beyond that I have no control. Instead of fearing terrorism, I will look back on the heroism - all the common, ordinary people who did so much and in some cases lost their lives. Panic is not a part of my personality and I don't intend to start now. Christmas Memories My first few Christmas's were spent in a big old farmhouse on N. Old 3C. My grandparents, aunt and uncle, Mom, Dad, and I all lived there together. One of the rooms in the house was called the "piano room" for obvious reasons. I received a lot of attention with all these adults, but when I stopped to think about what I remember most, it was not what Santa brought or any gifts that I received, but the piano room. After every Christmas dinner we all went to the piano room where grandma sat down to play and the rest of us gathered around to sing all the carols - and I do mean all! As the years went by, my aunt and uncle moved into their own home and my family moved into ours. After I entered elementary school, I had my 1st real lesson on what Christmas means. We were suppose to take to school a toy that could be given to the Children's Home in Delaware. My mom sent me upstairs to choose something and I was back in 10 seconds. She asked if this was a toy I liked. I replied, "no." She then asked why any child at the Children's Home would want it if didn't want it and sent me back upstairs to find something that I did like. As I sat in the middle of my room, I knew exactly what I should take- a book that was a favorite of mine. But I didn't want to part with my book. Through tears, I finally took the book downstairs. Mom again asked if this was something I liked. Still crying, I replied, "Yes." She said, "Then that's what you should take for the Children's Home! Now I'd like to tell you that there's a happy ending to this story - but actually it took me sitting down to write this over 50 years later to understand what she was saying. My mother loved Christmas - every room downstairs was always decorated - dad made a star out of wire and covered it with blue lights to put on top of the house. Mom always had a contest with our neighbor, Gladys Townley, to see who could get her tree up first - there were rides in a one horse open sleigh owned by another neighbor, the Hollis' - singing carols (with me playing now) - Jim's and my 1st Christmas together when we couldn't afford photo of Chris and Dennis - 1975 .69. http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/0017c000472a8a02ae617ca97de6b667.jpg 2a00bfc56d7b68d496129df709fbaffe Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It was my mom who first asked Sue to do this and it has become a Condit tradition ever since. Then one day in 1988, my mom died suddenly. I realized there would be no decorations, no star on top of the house and no special gift to open. Even though I knew dad would give me money, it wasn't the same as opening a surprise. I decorated our house but I couldn't bring myself to get a tree. Usually I'm nagging Jim to go get our tree, but I hadn't said anything that year. Finally he came to me and asked when we were going to get our tree. I told him I wasn't getting one - he said we had to get one - it wasn't fair to the boys. I told him he could go get it then - I wasn't going to. With that, he picked me up bodily, yelled at the boys to get their coats - grabbed my coat and plunked me in the car. As we passed my parents' home, the star with the blue lights was on top and underneath the tree from dad that year was a package containing a sweater which I still wear today. Five days before Christmas in 2000, Jim went out in our woods to cut down a a tree. The top half of the tree landed on him and he ended up in the hospital with a concussion and 38 stitches. On Christmas Eve, I realized that it would be the first time that part of my family wouldn't be there. Dennis and Cheryl were else where, Chris had just moved into his own home and Jim had just come home from the hospital. So as I went out to play the prelude, I had a lonely feeling about me. After the 1st hymn, I looked out to see who was there. As I looked at the very last row, there was Chris sitting all by himself. Music and family - that's what my memories are made of - and for me, it doesn't get any better than that! top right photo: My sweater bottom photo: My Family .70. http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/799ed7232f7df6949d051a38386653e8.jpg a002c3c3867bb37b961e7bbb841e2ab5 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource A Note About My Family (75) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 71 of A Note About My Family The Caudill Family Records show that our descendants of the CAUDILL family come from Wilkes County, North Carolina. They settled in Letcher and Maggoffin Co., Ky. Our earliest record is of Abel and Mary (Crace) Caudill. They donated land (a part of their farm) for the Paint Church on State Road Fork near Salyersville, Kentucky. It is the old "Regular Baptist" faith. As of 1983 a picture of Abel and Mary hangs on the wall of the church. The first minutes of this church were recorded in July 1865. Abel's father and mother were Matthew and Sarah Younts Caudill. Abel was born 1831 - died 1898. His wife Mary (Crace) Caudill, daughter of Nehemiah Crace was born in 1830 - died 1913. In an old Bible of Abel's, given to his son Samuel, it states: Mary and Abel had eleven (11) children: Samuel M., Peter, Henry J., Abel H., Pleasant, Sarah, Melba, Mary Ann, Cecelia, Rhoda, and Matthew. We know very little of these except Samuel, Abel and Peter. Sammy, Abel and Peter's son Russell, sometime after marriage moved from Maggoffin Co. to Greenup, Ky. on Culp Creek around 1904. Samuel had married Mary Jane Whitt, daughter of Henry and Mathildy (Dickerson) Whitt, from Weis, Va. Russel, Peter's son, settled on Cain Creek in Greenup County. Later Abel moved to Pine Creek, Ohio, near Ironton, Ohio. It seems Peter stayed on the old home place in Maggoffin. Samuel, born July 17, 1848 - died Dec. 27, 1923, and is buried in the Old-field cemetery in Greenup county. Mary Jane (Whitt) Caudill, born March 8, 1847 - died 19? is buried beside Sammy.

Her father remarried and reared Hazel, her brother Bob, and two sister, Bessie and Dorothy. Her father, Noah, was a mill foreman. Cass was a company town and they lived in a company house. They refered to the people who ran the mill as "the big bugs" and they lived on "big bug hill". The Italians lived on "Bohunk Hill". Hazel started school a Greenbank and then came back to Cass. They ordered groceries from the company store in the evening and they would deliver them the next morning. Her father is buried near little Back Creek in Virginia.

They ended up staying six months. Betty's twin sister died and is buried in the family cemetery in Kentucky. Following the jobs, they then went to Jackson Ohio and lived with Hattie Caudill, Elwood's mother. Here Elwood cut trees; then on worked at Buckeye Steel. Elwood Jr. (Woody or Sonny) was born on July 13, 1942 and Jim was born on July 2, 1943 at St Anne's Hospital. Hazel worked for a brief time at Timpkin during the war. They then moved to Africa Rd. where Betty started school at Orange and later to Sunbury Rd. in Galena. Elwood worked as an auto mechanic at Keys Motor Sales in Westerville but decided he wanted to go to barber school. He barbered first in Westerville and then he bought a shop in Delaware from which he retired. In 1969 they bought the old Kline house on Red Bank Rd. and this where they still are today. Hazel retired from Westerville Schools as a bus driver. She has always been an avid reader - something she probably inherited from her father who was said to have subscribed to the Baltimore and Washington papers among others. She served many years on the Board of Elections and she never passed a garage sale without stopping. Elwood always looked forward to the seed catalogues in spring and could hardly wait to plant the biggest garden in the area. He had all kinds of fruits and vegetables and won honors at the fair for his honey. They both enjoyed playing euchre with top left photo: Elwood Jr. and Jim middle left photo: Drivers to retire Hazel Caudill, left, and Bill Herder, both long-time bus drivers for Westerville schools, will be honored on their retirement with a dinner planned for 6:30 p.m. Friday, June 11, at Villa Milano on Schrock Road.

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.
