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

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

One cup flour, a pinch of salt, one teaspoonful Cleveland's baking powder; sift all together, then take enough sweet milk to make a stiff dough. This will make five nice sized dump- lings. Have some beef or chicken broth boiling hot, dip a tablespoon in the broth to prevent it sticking, cut off a piece of the dough and drop in boiling broth. Repeat process until all is used, wetting spoon each time. Boil ten minutes; as soon as the lid is removed, take a fork and open the top of each one to prevent falling. Serve with butter or gravy. MISS CYNTHIA SMITH. Economy Croquettes. Rightly made, this combination of "left-overs," which are too good to waste, is nice for breakfast or supper. Mince cold meat finely, either pork or beef; to one-half teacup of this add as much, or more, of cold rice and mashed potatoes. Break six or eight crackers in a dish and wet with just enough sweet milk to soak them; then mix all together, adding a well beaten egg, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Flour the hands and make into cakes the size of small cookies; fry until nicely browned on both sides. Serve with butter. MISS MARY R. SMITH. Veal Croquettes. Chop cold veal fine, season with salt, pepper, cayenne, onion juice, celery salt and parsley, moisten with beaten egg and white sauce (see below) and shape into rolls four inches long.

Fill pans with the mixture, and cook fifteen minutes. MISS FIDELIA PERKINS. Pressed Beef. Use half thick flank, and half second cut off the neck. Boil until very tender, pick out all bones and gristle, and set aside to cool. When cold chop fine, season to taste with salt, pepper and ground celery seed. To each ten pounds of meat, add one pint of very dry bread or cracker crumbs rolled fine. The broth having become cold, remove all the grase. Heat the broth, strain to remove bones, and add sufficient to the meat to make it moist enough to pack smoothly. It should be prepared the day before wanted for use. Set on ice. Slice very thin. MRS. J. R. MOONEY. Corned Beef Pickle. One gallon water, one and one-half pounds salt, one-half pound brown sugar, one-fourth ounce salt petre. Be sure to keep meat under the brine. MRS. J. A. CLINGAN. Dainty Veal Steak. Cut veal steak in pieces large enough for each person. Have ready one egg well beaten and highly seasoned with pep- per and salt; also five or six crackers rolled, (not too fine). Dip veal in egg, first on one side, then on the other; repeat same process with cracker crumbs; then fry in butter and lard, which should be boiling hot when veal is put in. Cover closely at first. Let cook one-half hour, removing cover the last ten minutes. This is delicate as chicken. MRS. GEO. D. LOWRY.

A labor-saving way of making cake is to measure out the sugar, flour and baking powder that the recipe calls for, and sift all together several times. Beat the required number of eggs, soften the butter, but do not melt it, add the milk and flavoring, stir in the above mixture and beat five minutes. Place the loaf in a well heated oven and bake until done. When cut you will find a fine-grained, light, delicious cake, with half the usual labor. White Cake.

Unboiled Cream Candy. Take the white of an egg, an equal quantity of water or cream, and enough confectioner's sugar to make a firm but not hard paste. This forms the basis for many kinds of home-made candies. MRS. W. A. SMITH. Peanut Candy. Five cents worth of peanuts, one teacupful granulated sugar.

Calf's foot or gelatine jelly, blanc mange, preserved lemon peel and egg shells. Color the jelly a bright yellow, by soaking dried saffron blossoms in the water; quarter the lemon rinds, trim all the white out of them, slice in long strips about the width of a straw, boil in water until tender, throw into a thick syrup, and boil until clear, then drain on a sieve. Make a good blanc mange, divide, color one-third pink with flavor or candy coloring, color one-third green with flavor or candy coloring, leave one-third white. Take as many eggs as you wish in the nest, make a hole in the large end of each, pour out the eggs, wash and drain the shells; set them in a basin of salt to fill, pour the blanc mange slowly through a funnel to avoid air bub- bles; set in a cool place to harden. When ready to serve break up the jelly and pie on a flat round dish. Shape the next by setting a deep bowl in the middle, and putting the jelly around it; let stand awhile, if the jelly seems inclined to fall in the nest. Scatter the lemon strips over the top and sides like straws; remove egg shells carefully from blanc mange, and fill the nest wtih them. Nests for one egg can be made by using a cup instead of a bowl, to mold jelly. MRS. LUCY PATTON. Remember, when you make cakes or any pastry, try SOUDERS' 10 cent Lemon and 15 cent Vanilla.

Hot, dry wheat bran in a flannel bag is an excellent appli- cation for lung or other trouble where wet poultices are not con- venient. Hot salt is always good. A cup of hot water taken four or five times a day is good in cases of la grippe. Have the water as hot as can be taken. A thin pillow of best cotton covered with cheese cloth and laid over the feather pillow is very restful to the sick. Also, to have pillows of different sizes for propping the shoulders and head is desirable. Gargle for Sore Throat. One teaspoonful of ammoniated tincture Guaiac in a cupful of hot milk. Gargle every hour, or every half hour. Keep the mixture hot. Will cure the worst case of sore throat. To Allay a Tickling Cough. One tablespoonful of ginger, two tablespoonfuls sugar, alum the size of a hazelnut, pulverized. Mix thoroughly and take one-fourth teaspoonful frequently till relieved. For a Cough. One pound of flaxseed, one-half pound rock candy; three lemons pared and sliced; over this pour two quarts boiling watear; let it stand till very cold. Strain before drinking. For cold in the head, ten drops of camphor in a half glass of water. Take dessertspoonful every twenty minutes.

Beat an egg until very light, add seasoning to the taste, and then steam until thoroughly warmed through, but not hardened; this will take about two minutes. An egg prepared in this way will not distress a sensitive stomach. Egg Appetizer. Into one-half glass of milk stir the well beaten white of an egg; then add juice of cherries or of other fruits for flavoring. This is nourishing, as well as palatable for the sick. Cherryade. Sweeten cherry juice to taste, boil and can. A teaspoon- ful in a glass of water is very refreshing and allays a cough. A Dish for Invalids. One-fourth pound best beefsteak; chop fine; season with pepper and salt more than for ordinary cooking; add in bits one teaspoonful butter. Place in a bowl over boiling teakettle; stir constantly till the blood is just set, which you can tell by its light color. If kept a moment too long, till the juice starts it will be hard and dry. It should be just hot, juicy and tender, and eaten at once. Cornmeal Gruel. To one pint boiling water add one tablespoonful of corn- meal, a pinch of salt, and boil twenty minutes. Gluten Bread. Make a stiff dough with flour and water using all the flour that can be worked in. Put the dough into a quantity of water, handling it over till all the starch is dissolved out, changing the water frequently. Salt the dough, by pulling and working in the salt. Have the oven very hot at first. Break off pieces the size of a hickorynut, place then a little apart in baking pan and bake. MISS HATTIE W. CURTISS.

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

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

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

Description An account of the resource [page 6] [corresponds to unlabeled page 6 of Delaware County Bank 1950-1975] In January, 1951, the Board Chairman, Richard L. Firestone, was recalled to active military service in Washington, D.C. during the Korean War and President Fred A. McAllister served both as pre- sident and temporary chairman until his death in the fall of 1951. At this time the deposits of The Delaware County Bank had slightly surpassed the $2,000,000 mark which the incorporators had told the State Bank Advisory Board the Bank would reach in one year. To move along with changes of the times, interest paid on savings accounts was raised from one percent to two percent in Octo- ber of 1951. The search for a new president to succeed the late Fred A. McAllister did not take long. The unanimous choice of the directors was the remarkable Robert B. Powers, a retired Delaware banked whose family had been connected with banking in Delaware ever since 1845. [photo] ROBERT B. POWERS In 1953, when Mr. Paul Wax, the cashier of the Bank, announ- ced that he was taking other employment, the directors took the most significant step they have ever taken in bringing to the Bank from The City National Bank & Trust Company of Columbus a young, vigorous and imaginative banker -- Alfred B. Wise. With Mr. Wise running the Bank it stopped going through many years of growth and expansion and has not stopped.

This building, a landmark of downtown Delaware, was built about 61 years ago in the days of carbide lights, dirt streets, street cars, horse troughs and other bits and pieces of early 20th century American life. Interest paid on savings accounts increased in 1959 to three percent and it was in October of 1959 that The Delaware County Bank announced its plans to construct its first branch office at 19 London Road. Construction was completed during the winter of 1959 and the spring of 1960. An open house was held June 3, 1960 and the first business day for this new branch office was June 6, 1960.

Three of their people became members of our Board: H. C. Roberts, their president; Joseph W. Buckingham, their cashier, and the late Hoyt G. Whitney, one of their directors. [photo] FIRST BANKING OFFICE, GALENA In the early part of 1965 interest paid on savings accounts by The Delaware County Bank was again raised, the new rate being four percent. The present rate for some years has been five percent. During 1966 the Bank established and put into operation a pen- sion trust and plan for all employees providing not only retirement in- come but also disability income and major medical expense benfits for medical obligations not covered by the regular medical and hospi- tal insurance carrier. More growth and expansion took place in 1967 when the Super- intendent of Banks of Ohio and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corpora- tion approved the merger of The Ostrander Banking Company into The Delaware County Bank resulting in the addition of three more directors to The Delaware County Bank board. Thse were their cashier, the late Norman Hageman, their president, Wendell Main, and one of their dir- ectors, Donald Wilson.

The wide spread use and growth of credit cars during the past years led the Bank in 1969 to introduce to its customers the BankAmeri- card as an all purpose credit card. A separate bank department handles the thousands of credit card transactions each month. The need to relieve congestion at the main office of the Bank and to relieve some of the pressue at certain times upon the London Road office of the Bank led to the acquisition of a new branch office site in downtown Delaware at the southeast corner of William and Franklin Streets in 1969.

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

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

We were fortunate to have space in the building to estab- lish our temporary office, thus preventing a move to quarters in another building. The patience, understanding and cooperation of our customers during this period have been sincerely appreciated. The first step in the remodeling was the construc- tion of a new and more adequate vault. This work was started on July 15, 1963. The banking office was moved to the basement area in September 1963, where business was conducted in what was known as "the bargain basement." The entire re- modeling operation lasted exactly eight months to "ribbon cutting day."

Mr. Richard A. Wengenroth, Assistant Professor of Fine Arts at Ohio Wesleyan University, has re- alistically depicted these subjects in his paintings of scenes in Delaware and the surrounding area. The choice of a local artist, talented to execute this idea for the bank, underscores the resolution of interest in the community which fostered the founding of the Home Owned, Home Controlled Bank in Delaware.

Description An account of the resource [page 5] [corresponds to unlabeled page 4 of Delaware County Historical Society] The Ohio Historical Society THE OHIO STATE MUSEUM, COLUMBUS 10 The Ohio Historical Society congratulates the Delaware County Hist- orical Society on the opening of its new historical museum. We all know that historical societies are born to preserve the history of a given geo- graphical area. But now, within your grasp is a means for interpreting that history to your community. In opening a museum you have assumed some heavy responsibilities, and there will be, as you have no doubt already discovered, a variety of problems. Having a museum is not always easy. It means work, hard work, and the cooperation of many. Yet, observing the mixture of fasci- nation, wonderment and joy in the faces of young visitors is a rich ample reward. With a museum you have a truly important line of communication to those you wish to reach - children, adults, prospective members and par- ticipants in the program of the Delaware County Historical Society. Plan wisely and demonstrate that the museum is vital to the Delaware Com- munity. With a well-worn path to the museum door you will not lack com- munity support. The Ohio Historical Society has a deep interest in your society and museum, as it has with any similar group in Ohio. May we sincerely offer whatever assistance we can give. On this memorable occasion marking the opening of your new hist- orical museum, again congratulations and best wishes. We believe that in many ways this opening marks also the beginning of a new era in the history of Delaware County. Erwin C. Zepp Director The Ohio Historical Society Columbus 10 Title A name given to the resource Delaware County Historical Society (p. 5) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/243985623025dad93067134f7c16a4ef.jpg 229f946e85a15b0b2cbb96f2cb703a40 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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

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

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

Description An account of the resource [page 9] [corresponds to page 8 of Delaware County Historical Society] THIS DAY, MAY 22, 1955, is the official opening of the newly acquired museum of the Delaware County Historical Society, and the second annual pilgrimage planned by the Society. We welcome guests from all over our State. This museum, located on West William Street, State Route 42, has been the Nash home since 1885. It is a two story red brick home with seven rooms, built in 1876. The front porch was added at a later date. The spindles of the railing on the porch were originally in the railing of the City Council chambers. The interior of the home has been redecorated for this occasion - and for the museum. The front hall has an open winding stairway with black walnut stair rail and newell posts. The museum will show materials designed to stimulate community interest in local history. They will tell the story of the past of our county. The displays will vary from time to time. The historical col- lections of Mr. Nash will be kept intact in the Eugene P. Nash Memorial Room. The rest of the house will be devoted to Delaware County. Some few pieces of furniture have been acquired. The oldest, perhaps, is a desk over which the first taxes of Delaware County were paid. Some old, or primitive tools have been donated, with old guns, pictures, maps, and a few pieces of wearing apparel. There is equipment for spinning and weaving, as well as dental equipment for an early dentist's office and a number of children's toys. The building was built in 1876 by John Slattery, the grandfather of Dr. George Parker. It was acquired by our Society in 1954 by annuity gift from Miss Pauline Nash, the owner. Deeds in the posession of the society show these owners: December 9, 1865 Carolyn Graff to John Graff. August 1, 1876 Christopher & Emily M. Potter to John Slattery. August 1, 1876 from John and Mary Slattery to Thomas Slattery. February 9, 1881 John C. Graff & wife to Anna Shindoler. August 4, 1882 Thomas Slattery to Mrs. Anna Hutchins August 12, 1882 Anne Hutchins to Sam Hutchins August 3, 1885 Samuel and Sarah A. Hutchins to William Henry Nash for a consideration of $2400.00. February 13, 1915 heirs of William Henry Nash to Eugene P. Nash. June 29, 1929 Eugene P. Nash to Lois C. Nash. September 1, 1954 Pauline Nash to Delaware County Historical Society, annuity contract. 8 Title A name given to the resource Delaware County Historical Society (p. 9) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/0a75c2833d748562cb7e2844bbb5b9c2.jpg d7071d6788ced2eaf68977ae3de0f9d3 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Mr. Graff retired from the firm in the early 90's. Their office and factory were located at 10 N. Sandusky St. This three story building was erected in 1878 and the com- pany employed from 120 to 150 cigar-makers, to whom were paid between $35,000 and $40,000 annually in wages. Their production of cigars each year was from six to eight millions, and five traveling salesmen were employed to secure sales in about six of the surrounding states. This business proved to be the largest of its kind in the state and continued until January 1, 1923 when Mr. Riddle retired after 56 years of active ser- vice. He was an active civic worker, director and president of the Deposit Banking and one of the founders of the Peoples Building and Loan Company. He was among those authorizing the building of the structures which housed these businesses. Other cigar makers were the J. Hessnauer & Co., Pfiffner and Hessnauer, The Delaware Co-Operative Cigar Co., Grasser and Haas, Wm. Hanitsch and Wells Brothers. The only cigar box manufac- turer in the county was Charles M. Ulrey who started in the early 80's and turned out around 500 boxes a day which were almost all used in this county. The Delaware Underwear Company was organized by W. A. Morrison in 1902 and was located in the building directly north of what is now Edgar Hall. About 1908 the company erected the building which is now Edgar Hall and the name of the company was changed to the Delaware Garment Co. They manufactured women's outing gowns, cotton dresses and skirts, and employed about 150 people. Later a branch factory in Galena manufactured outing flannel gowns. During the 1913 flood the water rose to the height of 7 1/2 feet in the building and some 600 dozen gowns, stored in the wareroom, were dried on the Wesleyan front campus. In 1918 W. A. Morrison sold his interest and established the Morrison Dry Goods Co. J. L. Anderson became president of the Garment Company and Robert Cellars and H. C. Kent were directors. In 1922 the company was liquidated and the building was sold to Ohio Wes- leyan and called Edgar Hall. There have been Delaware factories producing steam engines, iron fence, and farm wagons, as well as foundries and planing mills. The Dela- ware Clay Company manufactures brick. We now have Denison Engineering Co., Delaware Lumber Co. (sucker rods); Delaware Screw Products (mach- ine screws); Greif Bos. Cooperage Co. (barrels, offices only); Hughes Keenan Corp.

Its object was to collect and disseminate such local and general statistical and other information as might promote the manufacturing, commercial and financial welfare of Delaware, and advance its growth, beauty and general prosperity. The purposes of this parent Board have been embodied in all the activities of the various succeeding organizations which have been continued down through the years. The present name of Delaware Chamber of Commerce was adopted in 1922. Headquarters are now in the Peoples Bldg., Winter and Sandusky Streets. Membership includes industrial, business and civic leaders of both the city of Delaware and Delaware County.

Description An account of the resource [page 24] [corresponds to page 26 of Delaware County Historical Society] THE DELAWARE FARMERS EXCHANGE ASSOCIATION This farmer-owned cooperative, which is now the largest of its kind in Ohio, was incorporated on February 15, 1919 by Lewis Slack, R. G. Dickerson, Charles Kunze, D. W. Jones and C. W. Humes (only one now living). Temporary officers were: T. L. Oswald, chairman, and Ber- nard Hatten, secretary, and they sold the first ten shares of $100 par, with payment of $10 on each subscription in order to raise the $100. needed for the incorporation fee. The preliminary work was under the guidance of the first Agriculture Agent of Delaware County, Forrest G. Ketner. The first officers and directors elected were: C. C. Dunlap, president; T. L. Oswald, vice president; Bernard Hatten, secretary; Ashton S. Conklin, treasurer; Lewis Slack, W. W. Ferguson, G. A. Dix, R. G. Dickerson, C. W. Humes, Elmer C. Miller and Walter A. Jones. The only ones now living are Dix, Humes, Miller and Hatten. The new cooperative on June 1, 1919 bought out the "Electric Mill" on South Sandusky Street, from West and Murphy and this burned several years later. W. A. West became the first manager, followed a year later by Daniel E. Murphy, a brother of the former partner-owner. The pre- sent manager, Clifford S. Gooding, who had been elected manager of the Lewis Center Branch in 1924 was a few years later elected general mana- ger of the fast growing organization. During the years the Association has taken over the elevators at Lewis Center and Radnor and the east side elevator operated for a few years by W. A. West, also the V. T. Hills ware- house on S. Sandusky Street and the Dunlap Lumber Yard on the C. & O. R.R. The business has increased from a volume of sales in 1923 of $248,625.00 to $3,750,000 in 1954 and earnings of $9,209. in 1923 had in- creased to $140,000 in 1954. New elevators have been erected in Dela- ware, Lewis Center and Radnor, with modern grinding, mixing plants and machinery shops installed. Present officers are Bernard Hatten, presi- dent; George L. Pugh, vice president; Harry E. Desgranges, secretary- treasurer; and directors: Claude Neilson Griffith, Harold Gooding, Harley J. Scott, B. H. Peirsol, Kenneth Freeman, E. P. Jones, L. Gale Russell, George Pugh and Bernard Hatten. There are now over 1700 stock- holders in this local farmer cooperative.

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

Description An account of the resource [page 27] [corresponds to page 29 of Delaware County Historical Society] MEMBERSHIP Membership in the Delaware County Historical Society is open to everyone and the dues are $2.00 per year for one person, or for two or more in one household. Why be a member? We feel that the work the Society wants to do is really a must if we expect to discover more about our County's early history and transfer that knowledge to others as the years go by. It offers one focal point where this knowledge can be assembled and the material things of the past preserved. This Society was organized in 1947 and the membership was carried along at a level of abotu 100. When it was certain that we were to have a Museum the urge to increase our membership re- sulted in a personal campaign which netted us 196 new members. In January a letter was sent out to almost every home in the County. This resulted in 265 new members which gives us a total of 565 members. These are divided 363 in the city, and 202 in the county and other points. The county can be further broken down as to mailing areas as follows: Delaware R.D. 1 - 29 R.D. 2 20 R.D. 3 14 R.D. 4 23 Sunbury 37 Ashley 9 Galena 6 Westerville 7 Ostrander 8 Powell 8 Radnor 8 Leonardsburg 6 Centerburg 2 Lewis Center 1 Worthington 1 Croton 1 Shawnee Hills 1 Out of the county post offices are 21. This is a growing family so make haste and send in your $2.00 dues - so little can really help so much. Dr. M. S. Cherington, Membership Chairman 29 Title A name given to the resource Delaware County Historical Society (p. 27) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/a3c753846370c05cecede533d5d09d98.jpg 543fc3e9096cf815a780af4efe5e6a57 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The first signing of the will was on the day of the date thereof, he, the Testator, requested both subscribing witnesses to attend at the time of the last sign- -ing of the will, the Testator assigned as a reason for having his first signature scratched out, that he had just recovered from a spell of sickness when he wrote and his hand trembled so that his signature was scarcely legible, witness further says that Testator also said that his signature first written, was so bad that he was afraid it would have an effect upon the will, there were no alterations made in the will between the first and last signing thereof except scratching out and signing again, the will was in witness' possession between the first and last signing, the Testator was of sound mind and memory at the time he signed the last time, that Testator was under no restraint at the time of the last signing.

Testator gave as a reason for having his name scratched out and writing it a second time, that he had written it the first time so poor, that he as afraid it could not be read All the reason he assigned was he was afraid it could not be read, at that time he testator did not manifest any desire to alter the will. Thomas Patten and witness were both present at the time of the second signing of the will.

Patten's name was written as witness before deponent wrote his name as witness Deponent did not see Mr. Patten sit down to the table to write after testator got up. After testator signed the will the first time, he said he intended Eli to have something on the first money due from Wotring, witness cannot recollect the words exactly but he testator was so forgetful testator said it was strange that he was so forgetfull that he could not get that in. Testator also said "there is another thing I have forgotten. I have made no provision in the will what should be done with money going to heirs that will not for some time come of "age" all this happened immediately after signing the will the first time, testator expressed no other dissatis- -faction that witness heard at the second signing of the will, that testator asked witness to stay till his son John had gone for he was afraid he had written his name the first time so that it could not be read witness saw testator put his name to the will the second time Title A name given to the resource Delaware County Ohio Will Records Vol. 2 1835-1850 (p. 246) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/3f01f476fd60728129d617a7143235af.jpg 33b46ba8f743c1b28dc66c7703bbf369 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Mr Meredith dictated pretty much word for word the will as first written I then copied substantially the first paper and then added the clause disposing of the remainder of the property. After it was written out I read it to him and asked him if that was his will and testament he said it was and had been for years. He then set up in bed with the assistance of Mr Clark and signed the will and witness and Mr. Clark signed it as witnesses in the presence of the testator. Witness says the testator was of full age and considered at the time that he was of sound mind and capable of executing his will and that he did it freely and of his own accord. Cross examined by the Mr. Sweetser -- I had not seen Mr Meredith since his sickness until called on to write the will. I think I was in the house about three hours previous to writing the will and in Mr Merediths presence about an hour. The only suggestion made to Mr Meredith with regard to the will was the one made by Mr Clark I did not see him after drawing the will for about a week I then saw him two or three times previous to his death I there discovered that he was a little fleighty at times, at any time by calling his attention by asking him questions he would answer rationally Azor Saunders George Clark examined after being sworn.

Witness then asked Mr Watson to go and ask Saunders to come over and Saunders came over accordingly. Mr. Saunders and witness went into room together. Witness says that Saunders asked testator whether he had a form book as he Saunders was not much acquainted with the forms in such matters. The wife of Testator then searched for a book of forms belonging to testator but it could not be found when the testator said that he had prob= =ably lent it. Mr Saunders then proposed to go home and get one to which the testator objected saying that he wished the matter finished immediately. Materials were then furnished and Mr Suanders proceeded to write the will of testator agreeably to the dication of testator After making the bequest to his wife the testator remarked that he wished to give Solomon Five hundred dollars (The said Solomon Walker was a brother of Mrs. Meredith wife of testator and supposes that he lived with testator as one of the family) Mr Saunders then turned to witness and said I suppose he means Solomon Walker to which witness re= =plied I suppose so Testator then said that he wanted no more written and then said will was signed by said testator and the said witnesses. But previous to the signing said will some conversation took place concerning the form of the closing the will and Meredith wanted it written in the will that they were witnesses thereto. And after said will was executed the testator wanted the said witnesses to examine him (Testator) as to his capability of making a will. Saunders then asked testator whether that was his last will and testament to which testator replied that it was and that it had been for several years Witness then asked testator what he intended to do with the balance of his property as he had only willed Five hundred dollars of it away to which testator replied that he had forgotten all about it. Testator then said that he wanted the residue of his property to go to his brothers and sisters (he had no children of his own) and suggested that the bquest to his brothers and sisters might be interlined in the will and Mr Saunders attempted to do so but said he could not do it to make sense of it and said that would make a new one and went at it. Witness again says that the will was written at the dictation of the testator. Witness says that the said will was read to the testator by Mr Saunders previous to the signing. Upon hearing it read he remarked as above stated that it was his will and had been for years (The paper hereto attached and marked "A" is the paper or will spoken of as first written) Mr Saunders then proceeded to write the paper now produced and offered for probate as the will &c of said Meredith having the paper spoken of as having been interlined lying before him -- Mr Saunders proposed before writing the attestation above the names of the witnesses that they should insert a clause that they (the witnesses) believed the testator to be capable of making a will Witness objected to this saying that they could testify to the fact when called on in Court. Mr Saunders however wrote said attestation as it now is and having signed it himself witness signed it not willingly but because the testator he knew would become excited Title A name given to the resource Delaware County Ohio Will Records Vol. 3 1850-1859 (p. 60) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/8f2cffb5e168143e74c15e8657b16a7a.jpg 89588de815f54b18c22a63a5f894bf17 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I drew up two or three before the testator was satisfied-the last-the one now before the Court, he seemed to be satisfied with and signed it in my presence and in the presence of the other witnesses. Testator requested us to sign it as witnesses. Myself, Gilbert VanDorn and Robert Shannon-this request for us to sign was after I had asked the Testator if he wished us to sign as witnesses. Cross Examiner- witness came to this County three or four months ago-lived for the three months previous to testator's death within one fourth mile of a mile of his testator's res= =idence-had not much acquaintenance with testator until- his last sickness. Saw him about two days before he made his will-had considerable conversation with him. On Sunday evening the second time I saw him after his sickness, Testator said he wished me to do some writing for him. On Monday, the next day John M. Leak spoke to me about writing a will for his father John Leak. Witness was at the residence of Testa= =tor on Saturday evening about half an hour and on Sunday night suceeding about the same length of time, before he made his will. Question. "What remarks were made by tes= =tator when you was talking with him about making will and writing the will evidencing unsettled state of mind if any?" Answer-Testator said how stored are some eggs or a nest of eggs-or something of this kind, at which I was a good deal surprised. I got up from the table & turned round testator said never mind, go on. At another time, either on Saturday or Sunday evening previous, Testator said he wanted to go home, and would not let him go home. When John M. Leak called on witness to go and draw a will for his father, John M. said his father wished to entail his property. Witness told him it could not be done under our laws. Testator also told witness that he wished to entail his property- he told testator that it could not be done and read Statute to him. When witness told testator that it could not be done, testator seemed very much surprised. When witness read Statute to him on the subject, Testator re= =marked well that is very plain, and told witness to go on writing will. Testator gave instructions to witness as to drawing his will, and when witness had drawn the will as he thought pursuant to these instruction, testator was not satisfied and made changes, though no very material ones, until the witness had prepared the will the second or third time. When the testator was satisfied Testator gave his instructions to witness at great length, and conposed personal and real property in giving it out to him in giving instructions as to Gilbert's share, he Title A name given to the resource Delaware County Ohio Will Records Vol. 3 1850-1859 (p. 111) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/3c8fee49a8adc5691baab6a382378140.jpg f33c4caac4b6a8732f7714bc9ac7aa39 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

"What evidences other than those already stated, have you of want of soundness of mind of testator?" Answer. "I know of none'. Question. Had you not some doubt, at the time the testator gave his instructions for a will, of his capacity to make one"? Answer. "I had not, if I had seen the will, without conversing with the man, I should have thought it will of a crazy man", because he made such an unnatural disposition of his property, but upon conversing with him he conversed as rationally as men generally do, Although I had very little acquain= =tance with him. I think testator's age was 75 when he died, he was feeble at the time of writing his will, when he spoke or did anything, he did it with energy and some effort. Question. "Did you not have some conversation with Mr. VanDorn on your way home from signing the will as witnesses, as to the sanity of the Testator"? Answer. "We did. We conversed all the way home, about one quarter of a mile, and after we had got home, perhaps for half an hour. We talked about the eggs. Testator had a high fever when I saw him. Reexamined.

Huff and his family into said tenants house and thereby to get exclusive possession of said Mansion House and the Lots of ground with the priviledges which by said Huff lease I have reserved for my exclusive use, and that in any fu- ture lease to be made by my Executors they do reserve the whole of said Mansion House and the exclusive use of all lotts of ground and Tenements thereon for the use of my said Widow in the same amnner that I have done in my contract with said Ins. C. Hurff and also any other priviledge which my Widow may think necessary to make her more comfortable but not so as materially to affect or impose the income or rent to be derived from said farm. My Will is that my Wife shall comply with my wishes and reside on said farm, that in addition to the bequests herein before made to her that she shall keep two Cows for her separate use (which Cows I do hereby bequeath to her to be chosen by her out of my share of the Stock) and that the Horse herein-before given her and the two Cows to be fed out of the proceeds of said farm and that the right to have the same complied with and fulfilled be reserved in any lease which my Executors may make.

And it is my Will that my Executors if they shall think it best for the Interest of my family may sell and dispose of all or any part of the standing Timber on either of my said farms, either in lots to suit purchasers or a large sale wishing them at the same time to consider what part of said timber it may be proper to reserve for the use of the fame so that the want of a proper supply may not impair its value at the future sale. In this direction I do not include the power to sell any of the Young timber on the North side of Peach Blossom farm from which in after years will be again fit to cut and the progress of which renders it has necessary to retain much of the wood on the other part of the Estate as that will be ready for use before the farm will require the use of much of that which has not yet been cut. And my Will is that my Executor may procure by purchase or otherways as much rails as may be necessary to keep up the fences during the time the farm may continue unsold.

Answer I was frequently at the house and in the house, who had the general charge of the papers I cant tell, I once asked him the privilege of looking at his deed, He asked his wife to get the deed and she got it. I believe when he got writing he got her to read it, but of this I am not confident. I believe his wife had charge of his papers for the reason above stated.

Question by same - Do you know anything about your husband Francis Twiggs having made a will, if so, when and where, who was present, who were the witnesses to it, if any and who wrote it?

And Julia Ann Granddaughter of testator was to have the landed property, and if her Mother died before one Julia Ann was to have the whole of the property that was left - No person else was to have any of his property, and there were no other bequests in the Will There was no Executor appointed in the will, not to my knowledge there was not. X Examined by C. Sweetser Esq - I have never claimed my dower in the land left by my hus- band, He, Coulter, pretended to set it off, but I never claimed it. I was not a witness in the will case of my daughter. I first told Mr Reid or Mr Fancher about this will about 8 or 9 months since - I had talked with Julia Ann about some time before - more than a year perhaps - I dont think I ever talked to any body else about this Will - my memory is good for an old lady,as good I think as for years past. My reason for not bringing forward the Will for Probate - was Coulter always said Fancher was so shiftless a scamp and that there was no need for having Administration - that I thought it was no use and so I did not bring it in. At the time the Will was made my husband owned 50 acres of land in Licking Co, O. which about 3 years after the will was made was sold to John Kane for $900, by my husband - he paid about half down and gave his notes for the balance - I never knew that my husband transferred these Notes to Coulter. My husband brought all his personal property with him to Delaware County - Saml Coulter bought the land in Delaware County, we gave him the money - about four hundred dollars my husband sent by him including the Horse - We moved up here about 3 months after the purchase here. After we came here my husband owned the land and claimed to runt the land here. My husbands personal property was not much changed from time of making his will till death. I know he never changed his will. He sometimes drank liquor and sometimes was a good sober man, when he made his will he was as sober as any man living. I never heard him say he made a will when he was drunk and destroyed it when he was sober - I never read the whole of that will. I have read the writing on the back of it - and some words on the inside - I do not swear that I read the will on the day it was made - I dont swear that I opened and looked at the will after my husband brought it back from Title A name given to the resource Delaware County Ohio Will Records Vol. 3 1850-1859 (p. 395) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/c99a41cb0d22080115c6b7d182dc9dc7.jpg b6087648bacfbd70cb916c11b76bea09 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [Page 396] [Corresponds to labeled page 345 of Will Book 3] Matter of Last Will etc of Francis Twiggs dec'd 345 Because - I dont know that I looked on the inside of the Will the day Myers was there. I was about the room attending to house affairs, I heard my husband tell Mr Myers, that I was to have all the property for my life and my daughter the loose prop- erty at my death etc - I do swear that I saw the two Myers sign said Will, and understood they signed as witnesses. At the time I missed the Will from among my papers about 18 months after husbands death, I missed on other paper except a Note of $55, against Samuel Coulter - Question by C. Sweetser Esq. Did you ever have any conversation with Walter Blansfield about this will matter? Answer I dont recollect that I ever have - I dont recollect of talking to him about the Will last fall and I never did tell him that I did not know anything about my husbands making a will - I never said so to any body, and I don't know that I said to Walter Blansfield that I had good witnesses. I am here to try and get my rights, and I dont want anything more. I want the property for my own use, and so that I can give to who I please. I have never signed it away to any body that I know of, and am certain I have not unless it is to Julia Ann Fancher - and there is an understanding between myself and her about it and this includes loose property as well as the land - all the farming untensils on the farm at the death of my husband I claim belonged to him. Coulter had the use of all the personal property and has kept it till this time. If my daughter had lived there would have been no diffi- culty about this will - but I dont like Coulters 2nd wife and in short I dont think its right that the bread of my children should be given to dogs, and after I have worked hard for it. One reason there was no complaint by me about the will when Fancher had a guardian appointed first was that Coulter was then always promising to do right. Mr Coulter and I have never had any difficults, he has wronged me by taking all my property and keeping it. There was 7 head of Cattle and 16 head of sheep, a mare that died about 3 years after and was sued by Coulter while it lived, left by my husband. The note of Coulter for $55, was given for a wagon, and it was never paid to my husband or given up by him for I saw it several times after my husbands death. I never had Elizabeth Pace look over these papers for me nor did I ever know of her looking over them. If she ever looked over my papers she did it on her own look, Elizabeth is a good girl. I never read writing very well, good plain writing I could read. I cant see to read writing now. I never had the notes of Cain in my hand, and dont know that Twiggs gave them to Coulter in his life time. I kept my husbands papers for him.

I think the old man had his crops separate - they appeared on good terms up to the old mans death = Previous to the old mans buying here, when he was up looking for land he told me he wanted to sell in Licking and locate in Delaware County so as to be neared to Coulter and Parthenia. He afterwards told me he did not expect to better his condition, but he thought it would suit them (Coulter and his wife) better at his death. I have talked with Mrs Twiggs abut the property and Coulter will, but not about the Twigg will - A year or two after Coulter married his present wife, she said it was all right as to Coulter but she could not get along with his wife - She said as to the personal property that Sam (Coulter) may have used even of it in payment of debts, but complained some about it, about the land she said she did not want her dower right set off as she could not manage it and she thought Sam would do right with her. After some conversation with her about her dower right, I said I thought it would be prudence in her not to assign it away to anybody and she said she never would. She talked of both personal property and her dower interest in the land. I have at all time since her husbands death been as I supposed upon confidential terms with the old lady. I have never heard from her a claim that her husband made a will or died leaving a will. I have heard her say in speaking of Mrs Coulters will, say she supposed Rerthenia's will would hold the property.
