Title A name given to the resource Virginia Ihle Description An account of the resource Virginia Ihle MA: Well it looks like you have some things that you wanted to tell us about VI: yes I have MA: I, I don't know if uh VI: That was the east side of, I think its the east side MA: Oh, this is before Hoover Dam. Yeah. Now when you, when you, when your, were you living in Galena when your husband's medical practice was there? VI: Oh Yes MA: OK and where in Galena did you live? VI: Uh, we lived at 15 North Walnut Street. It's the first house going up Walnut Street on your left after you leave the square. MA: OK VI: and uh, Dr Ihle came to Galena in 1933 and established a practice and he was there for 40 years until he died. So, but in 1945 we bought Grissley property on Sunbury Road south of Galena and moved down there. And my sister, uh, was being married and she and her husband bought the house and then they later sold it to Dick and Grace Beaver who still own it and they are at the Village in Westerville where I was. They've been there for 9 months and he has Alzheimer and Parkinsons too, diseases. She fell and broke her wrist and her ankle and I don't know how long they'll have to stay. They live in the house where we used to live. And the house, we bought this farm of 40 acres and Frank Grissley and his brother Ed Grissley had built homes there on Sunbury Road. Ed and his family, his wife had 6 children, but Frank was a batchelor, and his house, well both houses, had been built with beams from an old barn. It was quite rustic, and we lived there 6 years and then built a brick house on the south part of the property and then later we built another house right next door to the brick house and that's where we lived when Dr. Ihle died. But I had 5 1/2 acres of grass to mow and it was just a bit much and I have all this back trouble so. In 1969 we had a bad accident down in West Virginia and I had 4 vertibrae fractured. Since then I've had 5 back surgeries, and uh. I had a chance to sell it so, Dave Pemberton, I don't know whether the Pembertons come to the library or not. Dave and Mary Ann? MA: I don't think I know them. VI: He's an attorney and they wanted to buy the place, so I thought, well, now's the time to sell it. I said I'd sell if I could find something. Well Howard Crain, who used to be in the savings and loan, knew I was looking for a place and he told Mr. Lewis, the builder of this house. So the Lewis's called me and I came up and looked at it and bought it. And I've been here 31 years. It's a, a nice neighborhood, quiet street, sometimes the truck noise gets pretty loud but I've become so deaf that I can't hear it (chuckles), it doesn't bother me. MA: Where were you born Virginia? VI: I was born in Harlem Township, that's the reason I've been interested in Vicky's writings. My parents rented what was known as the Garling, the Downing farm. It was on Center Village Road and my brother and my oldest sister and I were, are born there. And um, then in 1918 my parents bought a farm at the corner of Sunbury and Woodtown Road and we lived there for 10 years, well maybe 11 years. And uh, then we moved to a farm east of Galena, the Garling House farm, and then in 1933 my folks moved to Columbus. And I was in my senior year of high school and I didn't want to go so I stayed and lived with some friends and finished high school in Galena. And uh, then I went to Ohio State for one year. And then I had met, I wanted to be a nurse and I had met some nurses from Philadelphia General Hospital who had come to Ohio State to get their BS degrees. And they told me all about it and course this was back during the depression and uh jobs were hard to find, but I wrote for information and was accepted and went to Philadelphia and was there 3 years and then I worked for about a year. And then Dr Ihle and I were married. He had been married before, and uh, his first wife died and his second marriage was ended in divorce. He was 18 years older than I so people thought I was crazy but we had a good life. (chuckles) MA: So what year did you graduate from Galena? VI: 1934 MA: And he was not from Ohio, your husband? VI: Yes, he was born and reared down in Meigs County VI: and uh, his mother had died and there was no high school in Meigs County at that time. His brother was superintendent of schools at Nashport Ohio, its in Licking County. And uh he went there, he lived with his brother's family and went to high school and then he went to Ohio University, I think for 6 weeks. At that time you could take the Boxwell examination. He did that and taught school one year, and part of another year. And then the war, the First World War came along. And he, his sister lived in Beaver, Pennsylvania. He went there and lived with them, and worked as a mail railway employee. I forget where he traveled, it was in Western Pennsylvania but he rode, you know, the train, the cars, and sorted mail and delivered it. And then he went to his brother's in Bethany Ohio and lived there. And then he decided he wanted to be a doctor so he came to Ohio State and got his BS degree and then his medical degree. MA: Is that's where you met? VI: No, no. Um, when I was in high school and after my family had moved I needed a place to live. And they had just come to, he and his first wife had just come to Galena and I, um, was told that they were trying to find somebody to come and stay so she could get away. Because he had the office in the house. So I went there the last of November until, oh in July of '34 when I went to Columbus and started to work and uh went to school. And then I was gone for six years, came back, and we just, by that time he had been divorced from his second marriage (chuckle) I don't usually tell all this to people (all laugh). But anyway I was working in Cleveland, Saint Luke's Hospital, at the time and we just decided to get married so. We had a son Curt, lives in Burk, Virginia which is about four miles from Springfield. And uh, they have, he married Brenda Hoover, do you know Bob Hoover here in town? Well Brenda is Bob's daughter and um, they have two sons, Chris, lives in Apex, North Carolina and he and his wife have three little boys. And Andrew, the younger son, lives between Dulles Airport and Leesburg, Virginia and they have a little boy and a little girl. And uh then Enid has three girls. Uh, Molly is married. And uh, Cindy lives in Cleveland and the company that she works for, it's a financial company, uh, she travels all over the United States for them. And Beth is a Special Ed 8th grade teacher at the Bishop School in Delaware. But I'm real proud of all my grandchildren they all graduated from college and two have their masters'. So... think they've done pretty well. MA: Your daughter says that you, that you're an expert on the history of Galena. VI: I'm not an expert (chuckles), I've just been around for so long I remember things. I said even though I'm 92 thank goodness I still have my mind, that's uh, worth a lot. My back gives me an awful lot of problems but I can still think. What did you want to know about Galena? MA: Well, um, your husband's practice was in the building that we still call the Dustin House? VI: Yeah, or before that, where's one of these pictures? I think... one of these, No that's the north side and this is the east side MA: These look like the shots from uh, the Sunbury News, this one anyway, or maybe the Delaware Gazette. That's from the paper. VI: Yeah, I have had the original pictures of these. MA: The photographs themselves? VI: Yeah I looked for 'em last night but I couldn't find them. This was published in the Dispatch at the time that we bought the Dustin House. This is the south side of the square. Dr. Ihle had his office in this part. MA: OK VI: until we bought the Dustin House and then he moved over there. MA:Is that building still standing? VI: Yes MA: OK, that's, isn't that where your sister-in-law works? Isn't that a restaurant now? VI: Oh there is one there. CM: Yeah she used to work there. VI: There's one on either end of that row of buildings. MA: These look like, we have copies of these in the Burrer Room. VI: Here's the north side of the square. MA: Oh look at that. VI: Lilly Shaw, who lived in one of the apartments in the Dustin House.... Here's another picture of it. MA: So, this, this whole side's gone now right? This was removed when the dam was built, is that correct? VI: Uh, it, most of it burned. MA: Oh it burned. VI: That's the north side. MA: OK, 1947. Did you take these photographs, or VI: No, I started to tell you Lilly Shaw, who lived in one of the apartments in the Dustin House. Her son took them and he, took them with a camera that used glass plates and she had all of those and she let our son take them and he made a lot of pictures from them. I don't know whatever happened to them because he gave them back to Lilly and uh MA: Was he, was her son in the photography club? There was a, what was the name of that photography club? VI: Oh gosh, this was back in the early 1900's MA:The markings on the back are the same, those circled numbers. There was a, there was a photography club that met in the '50's VI: Yeah, I belonged to that for awhile MA: Oh, OK VI: But no, these were taken long before that. Here's a picture of the school house. MA: Oh ok VI: In 1928 they, uh remodeled the Galena School and added on an auditorium and some rooms, a stage, basement for a cafeteria. My brother graduated in 1928, that's the reason I remember. When they, I think when they originally built the school which was a log school back in 1868, they found, um Indian skeletons and um, they found some bones when they excavated in 1928. There was, you know, quite a rumor at the time but apparently Indians had been buried there. Nathan Dustin built the Dustin House, or Stage Coach Inn as it was sometimes called, I think in 1828. He came and lived in a log house first and then they made bricks in the back part of the property and fired them. And he put up the back part of the building first and then couple of years later built the front part of it. It was a pretty, old, house, it still is. When we bought it, it had never been modernized. And I don't know you whether you've ever remodeled an old house or not, but you think you'll do one thing and you end up doing 10 that you never expected to do. It got quite expensive. And the beams in the house were like that, you know just huge, and you either had to go up over them or under them because you couldn't cut through them. It was a big problem. They did had a couple of electric lights with just a cord hanging down and one bulb. So we had the house wired. And there were 18 rooms in that house, um, Dr. had the, a, part as you face the house on the left side. And then the other side was an apartment and there were two upstairs and one in that little back part. So there were four apartments there that we rented. We never lived there, it just wasn't, you know, suited for our family so we didn't even consider it. The uh, as I started to say Nathan Dustin, who was a Revolutionary War soldier, built the house and when we sold it, we sold it to Jim Whitney. And Elmira Dustin, one of the descendants, had given me a picture that had been taken, uh, she thought in the late 1860's in front of the house. And it showed Nathan and there were two or three ladies. And Jim had some copies made of it and gave me a big copy. And I gave it to Polly for the Library, do you have it? MA: I think, I think we do. CM: Do we? VI: Do you? MA: I think we do. We have some pictures of the Dustin Inn and Mr Dustin has a beard, VI: Yeah MA: A long beard in the photo. VI: And there's one man with a top hat. MA: You know I'm going to have to check, I don't recall a man in a top hat. VI: Yeah, there, there are three or four ladies standing out there and one man with a top hat. MA: I'll look for it. VI: Well I think Nathan died in 1872 and that's when they ceased having guests at the house. I think its interesting that now when we go to a hotel or a motel we rent a room with a bed. But back then you rented a room and a bed.(chuckles) You might have two or three people sleeping in the same bed. I never realized that until we were at Williamsburg, Virginia and visited that old inn and the man told us that and I thought that's what they did at the Dustin House. John had five wives. They're all buried there in Galena Cemetery. And his children, Fred, Nathan and John. No, John. Gosh I forget now, I'm confused. Nathan and Fred were John's children. And Mrs. Willis, who married Frank Willis. Oh, what was her name? MA: Um, I know VI: Yeah I know too MA: I'm right with you VI: That's what my 92 year old brain does to me MA: Well, I don't think its anything to do with age, because I can't recall either. But I know we have a picture in the Burrer Room of Frank Willis and is it Anna, Annie? and the daughter at her gradua, she's in her graduation gown. In the picture that we have in the library. VI: Allie MA: Allie VI: Allie Willis. Yeah, I made some notes here to sorta jog my memory. She died, no Frank died in 1928. He had been to Galena High School for a speech and he had been a governor and senator and was a prospective presidential candidate when he was at Gray Chapel. My brother was there at Gray Chapel that night and he was so shook up over Mr. Willis' death, everybody was. He was a nice man. Did either of you hear the acceptance speech last night of the (everyone chuckling). She seems like a ball of fire (everyone chuckling). VI: Well, anyway, Nathan, and I think his wife was Hannah, died in the 30s, that was after Dr. Ihle came to Galena. And then John, no, it was John that lived in the house, he and his wife died , not Nathan, Nathan had died in 1872. Um, the um... I have to stop and think what I want to say, uh... and the Dustin House um, it was built in 1826 to 1828 and inside the windows, the window sills were like that (gestures with her hands) and then the um... uprights were like this (gestures with hands) and they said that that was if the Indians you know came around or anybody, they could stand out of sight but, aim their guns out, um... a lot of old houses were built that way. And there was a um... in the back of the house, was a wool shed. Um...Nathan used to um.. weigh animals, hogs, that would be driven on to Pittsburgh and sheep and I don't know how many people they employed, but um, there was a wool room and there was a heated boiler room where guests could take a bath and there was an old privy and all that was standing when we bought the house. And we had thought at first, oh gosh, the boards in it, you know, were just great wide long boards,um, cut from huge trees that we would make apartments back there but we found that termites had got into it and it wasn't feasible to do that so we had that all torn down and I hated it, but sometimes you do what you have to do. Here's a picture of the Dustin House, and these little, I don't know what you call them, porticos or something were on the front of the house but they were rotted and it just wasn't safe so we had those taken down. We thought we'd have them replaced but we never did. MA: No? (chuckling) Is that a picture that somebody VI:Yes MA: in your family took? So is this a, is that before you, VI: Yes MA: that is part of what you had taken down? VI: Yes, that's where the wool shed, the bath house and all that was. There was a smoke house, too, and then there was a bar, and the bar was semi-circular and it was made of walnut boards and it was up in the attic. Well I thought it should be preserved, so I found a carpenter and it was just about to fall apart and he cut some new shelves and put in. Enid has that in her basement. She wanted it so I gave it to her. She, like me, likes antiques. The um, I don't know where the meals were served. I never figured that out. You come in the front hall -where is it -this was the front door, uh you come into that hall, and then this is where Doctor had his office, here, and in the next two back rooms. Um, the family lived there also and then in the upstairs on this side was a ballroom where they had dances that was the entertainment, so Allie Willis told us, and um, someone had put a partition in there so it made two rooms out of this one great big room. I don't know where the meals were served and I don't know where the bar was kept. But it was someplace. And then with the bar, there was a, um, kinda made you think of a picket fence that went clear up to the ceiling, and then when the bar was closed, that was lowered. It was on pulleys. But I don't know where it was. I don't know where they had that. The um, Helen Willis, um, taught music and a lot of people, older women, when uh, when they were girls, took music lessons from her. Our friend Madge Barrows who was the daughter of Inman Budd. Where is the north side of the square? This originally was a hotel and then you don't see all of the house you just see a part of it. But then Inman Budd had a store here and he had a big old pot bellied stove and men came in in the wintertime and sat there and shot the breeze I suppose you'd say (everyone chuckles). This was a restaurant with rooms up above that people rented. People rented some of these rooms and there was a post office in here and a beauty shop. But this, this burned I think in 1936 and this burned maybe in '38. All this went the next time. And Madge Barrows or Madge Budd, was a daughter of Inman Budd, and after her parents were deceased, she had a, a store built there a grocery store and it was there until Galena Bank came in and they tore down the store and built the bank. So that's what's on the property now. MA: Could you, could you show us that picture again and run through the uh, where, did that show up on the camera? CM: No MA: to identify what was in there is great for the VI: You want me to MA: You'll have to tell us again VI: Well this was a hotel originally and then the Budd family lived there and this was Inman Budd had a grocery store in here MA: Did it ever have a sign that says IC Budd on it? VI: Yes. MA: We have pictures of that VI: Uh huh. And this was a restaurant and living quarters up here. And there were living quarters through here. There was the post office in here some place and a beauty shop. I went to the beauty shop after Doctor and I were married and um Mrs. Bloom was her name and she had a little dog and it just roamed around the shop. If she'd happen to drop something, she was sorta old, she'd pick it up and brush it off and put it back, that was her way of sanitizing (everybody chuckles). In the Dustin House, too, at one time was a millinery shop and it was in, upstairs but I don't know which part. And when we bought the house there were a lot of the hat forms left and I still have those they're down in the basement. I had told Polly I'd give those to the library but I suppose the historical place would be the proper place to put them. Trying to think what else was in the Dustin House. I think after Nathan died, John and his wife lived there and it was just a home, I mean they didn't, maybe, maybe that's when Mrs Wambaugh had the millinery shop there. In Vicky Tieche's Harlem Township book she tells about Mrs. Wambaugh, who had lived in Harlem Township in Center Village. And um, I gave Enid one of the hat forms, it was one of the nicer ones. Some of them had the ladies names on, there's Mrs. VanFleet and I forget who else I haven't seen them since I moved up here, they're down in my crawl space. The uh, you know who founded Galena and all that, that's common knowledge. The Lodge Hall was built about the same time the Dustin House was and some people think that the tile mill furnished the brick for that. But the tile mill didn't exist at that time. The brick were all fired, made and fired there at the Dustin House. And then in, in back of the Dustin House when we bought it was a barn that had been the livery stable and it had the most beautiful big wide boards and beams and we didn't know quite what to do with it. But the Sheriff came and talked to the Doctor. It had been reported that kids had been playing in there and we were afraid somebody might get hurt. Uh, we had no use for it and it needed so much repair, just, you know, wasn't worth putting money into it so Doctor found a couple men who came and tore it down for lumber and then later a restaurant was built back there and then when the city built the lake, and uh, took a lot of property that was torn down. Trying to think what else happened. MA: You remember quite a bit, none of this was known to me about the history of that house VI: I remember back in the '20's there was a Chautauqua came to Galena. It was there on the school grounds and mother let my brother and older sister, oldest sister, and me go, and I think she always regretted that it was "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and little Eva was in it and she was such a simppy thing (everyone chuckles) and we'd, you know, go around pretending we were little Eva. (chuckles) The Lodge Hall was right there beside the Dustin House, was built about the same time and um. MA: That's the brick building across the street? VI: Yes. The Masons, there was a Masonic Lodge of Sunbury men who built that, and then they disbanded, oh gee, what year? It was built in 1868, that's, that's when the Masonic Lodge, there was a school in it too, up.. I guess the downstairs and the Lodge Hall was upstairs. Well then they disbanded and uh, the uh, Odd Fellows came in, took it over. And then in 1947 the Rebecca Lodge was formed. I was one of the charter members, and uh, Joanne Farris, Joanne Devore Farris, we are the only two living charter members. I think there were just almost 30 members joined. And um MA: What is the Rebecca Lodge? VI: Yes, It's still there MA: What kind of an organization? VI: It's like the Eastern Stars the Pythian Sisters and things like that. I must admit I haven't been a very good member (chuckle), just too many other things to do and I've had so many surgeries that um, I just haven't taken an active part in it. I still belong but. On the west side of the store, right next to the Dustin House was a grocery store and at one time Charlie Bricker owned it, and then he sold it to Mossman, no maybe Mossman was there first then Charlie then Charlie sold it to Mr. Koonz. And the Koonz had two children Twila and Buddy. And I think they went to Galena School. When Mossmans owned the department store, my mother bought a book, "Uncle Tom's Cabin", she paid a quarter for it she said. And I had it and I gave it to Enid. And the Mossman's store carried groceries and clothing and shoes, and they all did back then because you couldn't go to Columbus, Westerville very often, and uh they tried to provide what people needed. MA: Did you know the Hopkins? VI: No, I didn't MA: They had a taxi service I read in the newspapers, the Sunbury News from the late 1920's or early 1930's. Roberta Hopkins, kept the Hopkins House on the square it's the Historical Society now and she writes in her diaries about the trips that they would take to Columbus for curtains and rugs and that sort of thing there must have not been any place in the immediate area to furnish VI: Well we didn't get to Sunbury very often either. My, the first car that I can remember we had was an old one a touring car and it had side curtains that you took off in the summertime but then you snapped back in place when you had cold weather and they had a front seat and then two little seats that folded down and then a seat in the back. There were six kids in my family and I'm the only survivor. They are all gone. My brother and four sisters. But I can remember it was really a thrill to get to go some place and get in that car (all chuckle). Trying to think of something else to tell you. MA: Were there ever trips that you did make to Sunbury for any particular reason, or Galena had every thing that you needed to VI: Well my dad had a store in Galena there on the south side MA: Here's the picture VI: Yeah it was right here (points). I don't know what's in there now if anything is. MA: What, did he have a sign up on that store? VI: I think so. He and John Cockrell started it. Where is that? Oh it's in here. Wait a minute. I jotted down some of these page numbers. Here, look at the prices of groceries back then (all chuckle). Prime rib was 20 cents a pound. MA: And your father was VI: uh huh MA: Was Buck? VI: Uh huh, uh huh MA: That's your maiden name? VI: Yes, Uh huh. MA: They look like good prices now don't they? (all chuckle). Now this book is interesting we have a very small VI: John Bricker gave that to me MA: OK. This is much larger than the edition we have in the library. I'm actually going to be meeting with him next week, to look at some things that he thought the library might be interested in. So I can ask him then about that VI: I gave John a lot of things, papers that I'd had. So here he came one day and had that for me (all chuckle). Um, and I really enjoyed it there's just, you know, so many items about people and things that I remember. MA: Uh huh, uh huh VI: Talking about Galena school back in the 19, the early 1900's. A law was passed that if there was no high school in your county or township you could go to a school that did provide teacher training. And my mother was born and reared on Red Bank Road, do you know Joan Lawrence? Well that was the home that she was born and reared in. And, um, they came up, oh, I don't know whether it was even a mile, to the little old school house that was there. And there used to be a covered bridge that the school house was close to. The bridge was over Big Walnut Creek and when we lived down there we owned that property clear down to the bridge to the middle of the creek, 40 acres that we had. But anyway Mother went to Galena High School for two years and took the Boxwell examination and taught school, country schools for 5 years. And she and my dad were married in 19-8 and had six kids. And then after my father died in 19, um 49, they had a store on Sunbury Road. You know where Mifflin School is? Sunbury Road pretty far down, their home and store was there. And mother didn't know what to do, but in the early 1900's, she and my aunt her sister, Aunt Mabel, came to Sunbury and took china painting lessons from Dr. Gearhart's wife. Some of my pieces here are hers, some of 'em are mine. My sister Erline and I decided we'd like to learn and after Dad died my mother took up painting again. And she went uh, Ohio Dominican College, at that time it was called Saint Mary's of the Springs. She went down there for art lessons and she ended up, just, well she painted those birds for me, MA: Wow VI: and the mums. MA: Oh my goodness, she was very talented VI: Yes she really was. But she taught school for five years, and uh, after dad died, you know, she just didn't have much to do 'cause they had sold the store and she spent her time painting. And my sister Erline and I went down and took uh, well we did oils with her and china painting. I have a kiln and fire my own china, it's why I've got a load of blank china in the basement that I'd like to get painted but um, I don't know when I'm gonna do it. I've had shingles three times, and the third time they were all over my face the vesicles, and I had an ulcer on my left cornea MA: um VI: so my eye has bothered me a lot and I just had to quit painting for awhile. But that was one reason I wanted to come home from The Village was so I could do some of the things I wanted to do rather than just sit the rest of my life (chuckles). MA: Uh huh VI: That's uh.. There were a couple other hotels in Galena, early Galena. Utley's had one and there was one across the street from Budd's. I think Steele's owned that, and of course those buildings were all torn down when Columbus tore down so many buildings to, you know, make way for the lake. MA: Uh, huh. Is that a picture under your notebook of the inside of the Dustin Inn? VI: No this was my mother's home where Joan Lawrence lives. MA: Oh VI: That's a stairway. Diadatus Keeler built this house and this was a spinning room. There were four doors that in the summertime they opened and five girls could sit in there with their spinning wheels. MA: Where is this, where was this located? VI: On Red Bank Road MA: This.. VI: Where Joan and Wayman Lawrence live. MA: So this is the same place? VI: Yes MA: Oh, OK VI: I've got some more pictures but I couldn't find them last night. That's the Dustin House. Oh, that's my three granddaughters when they were little (all chuckle). This is the quilt that I won. MA: Oh yeah, you know I was looking this morning for... um, I think we have the story in the newspaper about that. VI: They asked me if I would do the Dustin House. And uh, I did that and I was having so much back problem that I went into Riverside hospital and I was there 33 days. They did a laminectomy, and I was there when they had the drawing for the quilt and I won it and I'd just bought one ticket (all chuckle). MA: So they brought it to you. And this is, oh is this the bridge that was on uh, did they call this the Yankee Street Bridge? VI: Yes MA: Ok, wow that was long VI: It was long MA: Oh and there's something on the other side VI: My mother painted it for me and then I painted one. Mother did the east end and I did the west end. MA: (chuckles) And you, and you met in the middle VI: Yeah MA: (chuckles) VI: After my grandparents died, my grandfather died in 1928 and my grandmother in 1934, my aunt had lived with them and there was no way she could stay there and maintain the house and it was in rather bad condition 'cause they were old and just hadn't done anything MA: That house is gone? VI: Oh no MA: No, that's still there? VI: That's where Lawrences live MA: Oh that is the house, OK VI: That's the house. Another thing, I forget when it was in the 60's, they put a plaque on that house. MA: You, but your husband's practice was out of there by then? VI: uh, huh, do you have these? MA: We do. VI: You do, OK. That, this was, was published in the uh MA: Dispatch VI: Dispatch, when we bought it MA: May I see the picture of the Dustin House again that you have showing the front door? VI: I just had it MA: There's a little person on a tricycle there. VI: It's what? MA: It's a child on a little tricycle in that picture (chuckle). VI: Oh yes it is. MA: Yeah. Not one of yours I take it (chuckles). VI: The house had been painted white when we bought it and the paint had all flaked and we had it sandblasted. And then we had somebody come to tuck point the joints MA: Uh huh VI: and they got up so far, they were a couple of men in Galena, and they got up so far and they said they just couldn't do the rest of it so the top of it's never been finished. MA: Wow VI: Ken Mulner owns the building now and uh he and Mark Adams had their law offices there. MA: And that's all that's in the house now? VI: Uh huh, I think so MA: So they couldn't get to the top huh, they didn't have tall enough ladders? VI: No MA: (chuckles) That would be a big job. VI: Uh, some place in here is that... Yeah this was about my mother. Mary Ann Whitney interviewed her and wrote that about her. MA: For the newspaper? VI: What? MA: Was that in the newspaper? VI: Yes Sunbury News, and mother had published a book of poems. MA: Oh wow, Oh, we have this in the library. VI: Yeah, I think my sister Jo Miller gave several copies to the library. MA: I do believe that we have one, I'm going to double check to make sure that we do but I recognize this. (to CM) Do you? I think we have that. VI: There's a long poem about her old home when she was a girl. It's where Lawrences live. MA: Uh huh VI: It was a pretty old house. Waymen's father and mother bought it in 1938. And uh, oh, they had the chimneys rebuilt. They put in new siding, and new windows, new roof. They just modernized it. Put in electricity and bathrooms. This is where you went down to the basement there at the Lawrence house. I don't know where those other pictures are. MA: We have a couple here that you showed us. VI: Yeah but I have more. MA: Do you know when this house was built? VI: When? MA: Do you know when your mother's house was built? VI: About the same time the Dustin House was built. MA: 1820's? VI: Uh huh. Diadatus Keeler, I forget how many acres of land he had. Grandfather bought, I think there were 100 and 60 some in the two pieces. Do you know where Woodhaven addition is now? Well grandfather owned all that and he sold it in, back in the 20s to Sam Cohen. I don't remember what Sam did but he had an airplane. He built an airplane hanger and built a huge house back there it's where Cochrans lived. CM: Yep VI: Do you know the Cochrans? And uh, then it was sold to Dr. Woods, and then, I don't know whether Dr Woods had it plotted or who did. Somebody did. But it was all plotted into lots and sold off. That was back in the 40s and 50s. It's pretty land. MA: You knew, um, Helen Campbell? VI: Oh yes, heavens yes. MA: And uh, the library had a set of slides that were all pictures that she had taken. VI: Uh Huh MA: Do you know anything about those pictures? Or do... VI: Well, they were ones that people had given her and some that she had taken. I have seen them several times. MA: Uh huh VI: Uh, Helen was quite a character. She was a good person but she was certainly opinionated. (both chuckle) Did you know her? CM: Uh, No MA: No, we only know her through those slides and um, I wondered if you had seen them because the library doesn't have a good identification for alot of the pictures. VI: Oh MA: And Polly, a few years ago, had gotten a couple of people together who, who didn't.. VI: She asked me if I would see them. MA: uh huh VI: and, but she never came with 'em and, uh, last year, I just lost the year being sick, MA: uh huh VI: so yeah I'd be glad to look at them I don't know whether I could identify very many but maybe some. MA: Uh huh. How, how did Helen get the pictures? We had always been told that she took, took them, but only some of them she took herself? VI: Well I think people gave her some MS: Gave her.. Was she in the photography club you were in also? VI: No MA: No VI: No that was later. I thought she gave those to Eldon Chambers and Eldon gave them to the Library. CM: Maybe MA: I, I don't know, I think they came to the library before we were around. VI: Helen was one of those people who never forgave anybody for liking Sunbury. She was wholly for Galena. (all chuckle) MA: And Eldon Chambers was from Galena (chuckles)? VI: Oh, yes he still lives there. MA: Oh OK. VI: He could tell you quite a lotta history too. MA: Well you've filled in a lot of holes for us. VI: What? MA: You have filled in a lot of holes for us today on some things we have in the library. VI: Oh MA: So that's very helpful to us when we put things together. Would you be comfortable with us,um, taking these to the library to scan them and then I'll return them to you? VI: Sure you can take them. MA: OK, we don't have any of these pictures in our collection. VI: You don't. MA: No. So it would be nice to, to add them. We'll just scan them. And they'll lay flat we won't, we won't VI: OK MA: have to do anything else to them. And then I'll return them to you. VI: OK, I'll look and see if I can't find some more. MA: Oh, that would be wonderful. CM: Now did you live over on Red Bank when Cochran lived off Woodhaven there or was that later VI: When dad sold the store in Galena and we, the farm had also been sold, we were supposed to have a house in Galena to rent and then the people didn't move and we had to give possession of the farm. So we moved in with Grandmother and Aunt Edna, um, and lived there for about six months and that's the only time we lived on Red Bank. CM: Oh, OK VI: But our home was down on Sunbury Road right where, close to where Red Bank begins. We bought the Grissley house and then we built the brick house and then we built the last house. And a gal in Galena, whom I never liked very well, asked me one day why we sold that nice brick house. I really didn't think it was any of her business. I said well it got so dirty I didn't want to clean it up so we built a new one. (chuckles) This was the depot in Galena MA: Oh, wow, I don't think we have a picture of the Galena Depot VI: More pictures that I want to put in albums that I have so I'll be going through them again and I'll see if I can't find some more for you.

Description An account of the resource [page 3] [corresponds to unlabeled page 3 of Welcome to Delaware Ohio] Introduction Long before the first pioneers came, Indian tribes had established a camp in Delaware on the trail lead- ing from the lower Scioto valley northward to the Sandusky Bay area. A variety of medicinal springs may have been a factor in their se- lection. One of these springs is still productive on the Ohio Wesleyan campus. In 1808, a division of Franklin County created Delaware County. The city was founded the same year. It immediately became the county seat, and because it is almost at the geographical center of the State of Ohio, and because then, as is true to- day, it was situated conveniently on some of the main thoroughfares of the state, it was seriously considered for the state capitol before Columbus was selected. In the early 1800's Delaware was one of the most popular health re- sorts in what was known as the "west." Its Mansion House Hotel with its sulphur spring was, in fact, pictured on Staffordshire plates from England. During the War of 1812, Delaware served as the headquarters for Gen- eral Harrison. But the city's great- est historical distinction probably stems from the fact that it is the birthplace of our nation's 19th Pres- ident, Rutherford B. Hayes. Many relics of the city's past may be seen at the Delaware County Historical Society Museum at 157 East William Street. For more than a century, Delaware has been one of the outstanding cul- tural centers of the state because it is the home of Ohio Wesleyan Uni- versity.

Description An account of the resource [page 5] [corresponds to unlabeled page 5 of Welcome to Delaware Ohio] Delaware The county seat of Delaware Coun- ty is 24 miles north of Columbus. It is nationally known as the home of Ohio Wesleyan University and the site of the "Little Brown Jug" Grand Circuit harness racing classic event held annually each September. A city of over 15,000 population, modern Delaware is a combination of industrial, cultural, and agricultural influences. Its location, midway be- tween Cleveland and Cincinnati, and its proximity to Columbus, together with the presence of the university, have been some of the chief factors in the city's growth. The transpor- tation facilities afforded by two rail- roads, four major U.S. highways, in- clusing easy access to the Interstate highways, and the local municipal air- port have assisted greatly in the de- velopment of Delaware industry. Tree shaded streets, with an inter- mingling of old and new homes and pride of ownership, describe the city's residential areas. Many people who are employed in Columbus and neigh- [photo] boring areas choose to live in Dela- ware. Due to its convenient central Ohio location as well as in the mid- western United States, a great many sales representatives call Delaware home. A modern up-to-date school system affords fine educational opportuni- ties. Modern retail stores offer a wide variety of merchandise. Diversified industry, numerous re- tail and service establishments and many miscellaneous places of employ- ment provide a wide range of job op- portunities. Delaware is operated under an effi- cient city manager/council form of government. Tax dollars are spent wisely. Many city improvements have been completed and others are underway. An expressway facili- tates through traffic. A comprehen- sive city master plan is being up- dated. The Delaware reservoir pro- vides the city with an adequate water supply well into the future. A coun- ty wide water system is under devel- opment. A modern hospital staffed by a corp of fine physicians and surgeons offers the latest in medical care. Situated in Delaware County are three large dams and their reservoirs with two more in the construction and planning stage. Boating and fish- ing abound on all sides. Golf needs are fulfilled by a country club and numerous private and public courses. A full-time recreation program is maintained by the city. Ohio Wesleyan offers the towns- people concerts, plays, and noted speakers. Community and college sports attract many fans. All of the cultural advantages of the Columbus area are just minutes away. One of the finest summer stock theatres in the midwest is located only 12 miles south of the city.

Description An account of the resource [page 7] [corresponds to unlabeled page 7 of Welcome to Delaware Ohio] Schools CITY The Delaware City school system presents a diversified modern educa- tional program to a student body of nearly 3700 pupils. The seven build- ings in the system are staffed by 190 professional persons, the majority of whom have over 10 years of teaching experience. Quality education for all children has been the stated goal for many years. Delaware has been a "Light- house" in the education of mentally and neurologically impaired children. The district ranks in the top 25% of Ohio districts in enrollment and in the upper 20% in per pupil wealth. Bonded indebtedness is under 3% of property values. PAROCHIAL St. Mary's Parochial school has an enrollment of over 200 students from one thru grade 8. High school stu- dents attend public schools. COUNTY The Delaware County schools con- sist of these districts: Big Walnut, Buckeye Valley, Olentangy, and the County Office of Education.

Description An account of the resource [page 25] [corresponds to unlabeled page 25 of Welcome to Delaware Ohio] Agriculture Agriculture is important to the economy of this county. The 1964 United States Census of Agriculture states that there were 1286 farms covering 206,861 acres. This repre- sents 73 percent of the county area. In 1968, the total cash sales of farm produce were $14,801,000. Dairy products, soy beans and grains are the leading sources of in- come. Other major products include cattle and hogs. Lesser products in- clude poultry, sheep and wool, horses, honey, oats, hay, popcorn, vegetables and fruits. The various soils of Delaware County are composed of residues from three glaciers. The most recent was the Wisconsin Glacier of about 20,000 years ago. Soils formed by glacial drift are productive and re- spond to good management. The trend in Delaware County is follow- ing the national trend toward fewer, larger, and more mechanized farms. Specialization is in effect as the coun- ty is located near areas of population expansion. This provides desirable marketing facilities for all farm pro- ducts. Agriculture education and informa- tion is made available to all interest- ed residents of the county by the ex tension workers and vocational teach- ers in all county and city schools. There are eighty 4-H Clubs in the county and city with departments of Future Farmers and Future Home- makers. Climate The climate of the county is contin- ental, characterized by moderately warm summers and cold though usu- ally not severe winters. The mois- ture is well distributed throughout the year. The mean annual precipi- tation is 36.76 inches with 17.32 inch- es from May thru September. The summer seasson has 70% sunny days. An average year has 101 clear days, 118 partly cloudy and 146 cloudy days. The average mean tempera- tures are 28 degrees in January and 73 degrees in July.

At 17,500, its population has already passed what only a few years ago was projected for 1980. A current study anticipates at least 26,000 residents within the next eight to ten years. The Ohio Department of Economic and Com- munity Development has predicted a population boom of 63.2 percent for the county by the year 2000, one of the fastest projected growth rates in the state. Right now, Delaware still offers the "best of both worlds" -- the quiet of tree-lined streets and familiar faces in business establish- ments plus the services of a modern small city enhanced by convenience of a major city -- Columbus -- thirty minutes away. Its hundred-year-old brick homes find appreciative owners and diligent restorers, but new homes and apartment com- plexes are also springing up in many sections of town.

Description An account of the resource [page 3] [corresponds to page 1 of Welcome to Delaware 1972] Citizens and public officials are working to keep the features that have always made Delaware attractive to its long-time residents and, more recently, to the indus- tries which have joined its ranks since the opening of an industrial park in 1963. Expert planning consultants have been retained to guide the city in development of new areas and expanding services. Several features make Dela- ware special: its central location with accessibility to major high- ways, the cultural enrichment afforded by the presence of Ohio Wesleyan University, and the an- nual excitement of Grand Circuit Harness Racing with the running of the Little Brown Jug, one of the sport's biggest races. It is also in a growing recrea- tion area, with water sports avail- able on nearby rivers and at the three reservoir watershed lakes in the county. (A fourth is under construction.) There's a strong sense of history in Delaware, which traces its beginnings to the opening of the Northwest Territory and claims among its native sons the United States' nineteenth president, Rutherford B. Hayes. But there is also a new feeling of greater days ahead. As a recent city publication stated it, "The past is only a beginning."

The first pioneer settlement in what is now Delaware County was in 1801, when the area was still occupied by the Delaware Indians from whom it drew its name. An Indian village in this area is shown on a 1755 map, and Mingoes and other tribal groups had pre-Revolutionary settlements along the trail from the lower Scioto valley northward to the Sandusky Bay area. Hundreds of years earlier, the Mound Builders inhabited the area, leaving behind several mounds in the county. Originally a part of Virginia's claim, Delaware County was formed in a division of Ohio's Franklin County in 1808, the same year the city was founded. It immediately became the county seat and was seriously considered for the state capital before Columbus was selected. During the War of 1812, Delaware served as headquarters for General Harrison, and some of that war's soldiers are buried in area cemeteries. But with the Treaty of Greenville in 1814, the Indians left the area and the settlers poured in. Among them were the parents of Ruther- ford B. Hayes. Born in Delaware in 1822, he later served as general in the Civil War, governor of Ohio, and nineteenth president of the United States. His wife, Lucy Webb Hayes, had come to Delaware as a special student at Ohio Wesleyan University in the days before it was officially co-educational. Ohio Wesleyan University was founded in 1842, taking for its first building the Mansion House, built near a medicinal spring as a health resort in 1833. It had been popular and successful at first as the "Saratoga of the West," but failed after the Panic of 1837 and was offered to the Methodists seeking to establish a liberal arts college. The original building, now called Elliott Hall, is still in use on the Wesleyan campus and is one of three OWU buildings listed in the National Registry. The rivers flowing through the county and the predominantly northern sympathies of its settlers brought the pre-Civil War "underground railway" through the area. Africa Road in eastern Delaware County owes its name to a long ago farmer's critical reference to neighbors' assistance to fleeing slaves. Street names in central Delaware read like a roster of early settlers, and the Delaware County Historical Society Museum at 157 East William Street houses many relics from the earliest days. Delaware's present challenges are less dramatic than Indian raids and abolitionists' efforts, but no less important to its citizens. Coping with them, with the support of interested citizens, is its city government, a council-manager system with seven members [photo] DELAWARE COUNTY COURT HOUSE [photo] UNIVERSITY HALL, OHIO WESLEYAN 2 Title A name given to the resource Welcome to Delaware, Ohio (1973) (p. 4) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/8ed6e54988bc210bd8aeeef91f09d2e2.jpg 9c49f4f4f7c2ecd0db5b4282762a0ba6 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

They work with an annual budget now at approximately $3 million, drawn mostly from the city's .0075 income tax and a 3 mill portion of the overal 45 mills per dollar valuation real estate tax. This, too, reflects recent rapid growth. With the income tax rate constant, income tax revenue has increased from $375,000 in 1968 to $541,000 in 1972, and the real estate base has grown an average $2.7 million a year for the last decade to a 1973 total of $67.6 million. Agriculture, though a smaller portion of Delaware's economic base than in earlier years, still yields more than $13 million in farm receipts annually. Diversified industry and numerous retail and service establishments provide a wide range of job opportunities locally, and the level of unemployment is consistently low. Earlier planning for present growth is bringing expansion of the city's water and sewage systems. A major water treatment plant expansion to double the present capacity should be completed by late 1974. A new sewage treatment plant with a projected capacity to serve 25,000 people was recently completed. The Delaware Reservoir provides the city with an adequate water supply well into the future. A county water system is also under development. The added traffic of a larger population requires an improved street network in and out of town. Four-lane Route US 23 South makes possible half-hour commuting for the many Delaware residents who work in Worthington and northern Columbus, and state highways US 37 and US 36 will soon provide four-lane divided access to Interstate 71. Delaware's location midway between Cleveland and Cin- cinnati and its proximity to Columbus have made it a convenient choice as home for numerous sales representatives. A federal grant is making possible the upgrading of city intersections not already improved, and other capital improvements are in the plans. Federal funds were used in extensive remodeling of the city's offices and are also underwriting a new program for increased public understanding of law enforcement methods and procedures. The city of Delaware has a Class 5 fire rate by the Ohio Rating Bureau, recognizing the protection of all areas of the city by well-trained, well-equipped fire departments. Its members also carry on an extensive fire training program in all industrial plants in the city as well as a safety program in the schools. Delaware County is rated territory 39, which allows residents the most reasonable automobile insurance rate available in Ohio.

The Delaware city schools, serving about 3700 pupils, rank in the top 25 percent in Ohio in enrollment and per pupil wealth. Its 33.9 mill school tax comes just above the state median and includes a building levy which has permitted the system to make additions to buildings and improve older facilities without additional indebtedness. Last bond issue was in 1960 for the Rutherford B. Hayes High School, and, pending additional bonding for needed high school improvements, that debt will be paid by 1980. A four-quarter curriculum at the high school level, initiated in 1972 as the "Delaware Plan", is drawing national attention and inquiries. It allows for four 45-day terms and an optional summer term, giving students and their families the choice of year-round school or mid-year breaks if scheduled ahead. At the middle school level (grades 6 to 8) team teaching, with "executive teachers" assisted by teacher interns, has been in effect for several years. A high percentage of entering children take advantage of the six-week pre-kindergarten summer program, operated without tuition and fully funded locally. Delaware was among the first school systems in the state to offer a full program for the mentally impaired and also provides special classes for the neurologically handicapped. Deaf, blind, and crippled children attend special classes in Columbus as tuition students.

About half of Delaware's high school graduates go on to college. St. Mary's School, adjoining the Catholic Church in downtown Delaware, serves an additional 300 pupils from city and county. It offers grades one through eight, with a faculty of twelve, including a full-time reading specialist. Surrounding the Delaware School District and dwarfing it in size is the three-district area served by the county schools: Buckeye Valley north and west, Big Walnut southeast, and Olentangy south. Included in these districts, each administered by its own Board of Education, are three high, two middle and eight elementary schools with a combined faculty of 365. They currently serve almost 8,000 students, but development of housing in the area between Delaware and Columbus is rapidly increasing that number, in some districts by 200-250 a year. Services of educational specialists -- in speech-hearing, reading disabilities, psychologi- cal testing, etc. -- are coordinated through the County Office of Education in Delaware, which is also a film satellite center for the State Board of Education, channeling available visual aids to 35,000 students in a four-county area. City and County Boards are cooperating in establishment of a Joint Vocational School, voted in 1972 to be financed initially by a 3.7 mill levy on the real estate tax county-wide. With construction under way at the site just east of Delaware off Bowtown Road and Ohio 521, it is hoped classes will begin in the 1974-75 school year. Present plans call for offerings in agriculture, business office education, distribu- tive education, home economics and trade and industrial education including auto mechanics and cosmetology now being taught at Hayes High School. Ohio Wesleyan University has been a part of the Delaware educational atmosphere since its founding in 1842 by pioneer Methodists. Its women's college, founded in 1853, was merged with the original school in 1877, connecting the two campus areas to stretch for blocks through the central area of town. Considered one of the country's outstand- ing liberal arts colleges, Ohio Wesleyan has an enrollment of 2500 and an annual operating budget of about $8.1 million, of which $5.5 million re-enters the Delaware economy in salaries and wages for its 500 employees. Many of its facilities are open to use by townspeople, including the 340,000-volume Beeghly Library, one of the finest liberal arts college collections in the country. Its faculty and students are active participants in community programs from special studies of ecology problems and market analysis to charity and blood donation drives. Hundreds of its alumni return to the campus each year for reunions and special events, and many have chosen Delaware for their retirement homes. In 1973 OWU entered a ten-year $27 million development program seeking additional funds to improve campus facilities, currently valued at $25 million, and to add to its $15 million endowment. A comparative newcomer to Delaware is The Methodist Theological School which opened classes in 1960. Its beautiful 69-acre campus is just south of town in rolling, wooded country- side. There is a student body of 255, drawn largely from the midwest but including some foreign students preparing for careers in full-time Christian service. A faculty of 26 directs the studies leading to Master of Divinity, M.A. in religious education, and (in cooperation with other seminaries and universities), the Doctor of Ministry degrees. Other universities and colleges within a 30-mile radius of Delaware are: Ohio State University -- Second largest university in the country has its main campus in north central Columbus, with more than 45,000 enrolled in its sixteen colleges and graduate school. Ohio Wesleyan University, Marion campus -- About 450 students attend classes day and evening in the two-year college program located about seventeen miles north of Delaware. Otterbein College -- This established liberal arts college, Methodist-related, has 1400 stu- dents and is located in Westerville, southeast of Delaware. Capital University -- A private, Lutheran- related liberal arts college, Capital is in the east Columbus suburb of Bexley. Its 2,000 students include those enrolled in Franklin Law School. Ohio Dominican College -- Formerly St. Mary of the Springs College and for women only, this Catholic liberal arts college on Columbus' east side now has a co-ed enrollment of about 1,000. Pontifical College Josephinum -- About 220 students are preparing for the Catholic priest- hood at the Josephinum campus between Delaware and Worthington. Business and technical colleges in Colum- bus include Bliss College, Columbus Business University, Columbus College of Art and Design, Columbus Drafting College and Columbus Technical Institute. 5 Title A name given to the resource Welcome to Delaware, Ohio (1973) (p. 7) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/777a4d2323c4fe2cd037c03badc2250c.jpg 76272c2c4f0b0c780c49f070cedaa465 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

There are Jewish synagogues in Columbus and, 20 miles north, in Marion, and a Unitarian church in north Columbus. Many Delaware churches trace their organi- zations back to the town's earliest years. First Presbyterian Church, organized in 1810, and St. Peter's Episcopal, 1817, the city's two oldest, continue to meet in buildings that date from the mid-1800s and share a block on West Winter Street. Just a block away, William Street Methodist Church, which began in 1818, occupies a new sanctuary dedicated in 1973 which replaces an historic building destroyed by fire in 1971. An active county ministerial alliance and Church Women United carry out community programs that extend across denominational lines.

The hospital, which now has 130 beds and provides full maternity and coronary care, physiotherapy and emergency service, will add 22 beds, enlarge ancillary facilities and increase available outpatient care. The addition, to be completed in 1975, is being made possible by a bequest from the late Mary Grady, for whom the hospital was recently renamed. Under the name Jane M. Case Hospital, it dates back to 1904. More than twenty physicians, both general and specialists, are in practice in the area, as are nine dentists. Others, such as orthodontists, maintain special weekly office hours in Dela- ware. "Way House", a tri-county mental health center, offers out-patient psychological and psychiatric care. Ten additional health facilities, including the hospitals associated with the Ohio State Schools of Medicine, are located within a twenty- to thirty-mile radius.

Racing fever takes over each September with the opening of the Delaware County Fair, only county fair in the world to offer Grand Circuit Harness Racing. The one-half mile dirt track on the fairgrounds was designed by a local long-time resident, R. K. McNamara, and is among the fastest in the country. Each year sees new records set. Highlight of the four days of racing is the running of the Little Brown Jug, one of the nation's top three harness races. Named for an outstanding pacer of an earlier day, the "Jug" regularly draws crowds of more than 40,000 fans for a purse that exceeds $100,000. In recent years "Jug Day" has been an official school holiday in Delaware. The Delaware County Fair follows by only weeks the Ohio State Fair, one of the nation's biggest. Each year outstanding performers and exhibitors take part in the shows that bring thousands of visitors to the Fairgrounds just off Interstate 71 in northern Columbus. Throughout the year its buildings are the scene of antique shows, flower shows, automobile displays, etc. to satisfy a variety of interests. Fans of music and the arts get frequent local opportunities through presentations of area schools and Ohio Wesleyan University. Ohio Wesleyan's Lecture-Artist Series features noted concert artists and a major symphony orchestra appearing in Gray Chapel each year. Outstanding public figures also appear in Delaware as a part of the many special events and seminars.

Drama buffs have the opportunity to see "live theater" from Shakespeare through the avant garde at the high schools and in OWU's $1.5 million new Chappelear Drama Center, dedicated in 1972. Its two theaters provide for staging in both conventional and arena settings, and extensive storage areas hold the many props and costumes. In recent summers, a "Town and Gown" season of light plays for family entertainment has been offered, with townspeople and area youth joining college students in the casts. Children's plays are also presented during the school year. Hayes High School annually presents musical productions which draw capacity crowds.

Delaware fits the picture. Distances aren't far; bicycles are a popular form of transportation for adults as well as children and college students. Parking even downtown is no big problem, and the faces are generally friendly. But the services any community needs most are available. Thirty-four voluntary and governmental agencies offer a variety of health and welfare services to all citizens of the county. The United Way provides funding for 12 of these agencies and planning for all services for people with problems. Included in the helping services is the Red Cross, which annually touches more than 8,000 county residents in everything from free blood, available to all Delaware County residents any place in the U.S. or Canada, to one of the country's better boat safety instruction programs. The troubled can get help through the Mental Health Clinic, the Alcohol Council, AA, and Help Anonymous, the handicapped through the Speech and Hearing Center and the Council for the Mentally Retarded; and the underprivileged through the Dental Fund. The Salvation Army offers a summer camping program reaching more than 900 low-income mid-Ohio children. The Cancer Society and Heart Fund have local offices. Interests of special groups -- senior citizens, neighborhood center, scouting -- are available in the county. Outlets for developing skills or pursuing hobbies are also provided. The musically inclined have a choice between vocal and instrumental. For several years the professionally-directed Community Chorus, with weekly rehearsals open to the public without audition, has prepared and presented demanding concert works at Christmas and Easter. More recently, even rusty former band members have been encouraged to join the summer Recreation Band to play bi-weekly open-air concerts on the Courthouse lawn. The Recreation Department also offers a wide variety of summer athletic and play- ground programs, and during the rest of the year uses public school classrooms for evening courses from bridge and exercise to furniture refinishing at nominal fees. Services of the Delaware County District Library extend far beyond its downtown brick building housing 61,000 volumes. The community's youngest learn the joys of reading through weekly story hours, and the Bookmobile covers almost 4,000 county miles a year serving outlying areas.

Description An account of the resource [page 14] [corresponds to page 12 of Welcome to Delaware 1972] Many families are living "local history" as they restore some of the fine century-old homes for modern convenience. Many such homes house second- and third-generation Delaware families, but new residents who prefer older homes can often buy them. Escalation of real estate costs hasn't passed Delaware by, and both old and new construction has been affected. Most homes are now $25,000 up, with many in the $35-60,000 range. There are also many homes with acreage in the suburban-rural area. A large development of 2,000 units in underway in southern Delaware county. Some of the big old homes have been turned into apartments, with rentals $100 a months and up. There are many new apartment complexes in all areas of the city, renting for $150-$250 monthly. Single family houses for rent are few but can be found. A small number of condominiums are also newly constructed. Newer developments are being con- structed with tennis courts and swimming pools for area owners.

Description An account of the resource [page 16] [corresponds to page 14 of Welcome to Delaware 1972] RECREATION AND SPORTS Recreation areas make up a significant portion of Delaware County area, with three huge reservoir lakes (and a fourth almost completed), a wild life preserve and hunting area, extensive camping facilities and outlets for almost all sports. Within the city, development is under way for the Mingo Park recreation area, now only outdoor facilities including a winter ice-skating rink, but eventually to house a city pool and activity center. At present, public swimming is at the county fairgrounds pool, where a full schedule of Red Cross swimming courses is available each summer. There is also a nine-hole par 3 golf course within in the city limits and six additional golf courses, including one private country club, in the area. Most convenient to area residents is the 7,000-acre Delaware State Park six miles north. Its 214 Class A campsites (164 with electricity) drew almost 70,000 campers in 1973, and any pretty summer weekend will bring 30,000 to the swimming beach and boating area. Launch ramps are located on three sides of the lake for boating and water ski enthusiasts, with marina space for 220 boats available April to November. The 5,000-acre wild life area east of the lake provides a rifle range, fifty stocked ponds and hunting areas. Picnicking, fishing and primitive camping are possible just two miles north of town at the City Waterworks Park in an area adjacent to the Olentangy River. Biggest of the Delaware County lakes is the Hoover Reservoir, nearly eight miles long, but Alum Creek Reservoir, now almost complete, will be approximately ten miles long and stretch through the center of the county southeast of Delaware. It will afford boating and water recreation as does O'Shaughnessy Reservoir, southwest of Dela- ware on the Scioto River. The Columbus Municipal Zoo, owned and operated by the city of Columbus but located in Delaware County, adjoins O'Shaughnessy Reservoir on Ohio Route 257.

Regular guided cave tours are operated daily during the summer, and an Indian town and frontier village have been reconstructed. Fans of collegiate sports get ample opportunity to see teams in action. Ohio Wesleyan's "Battling Bishops" play at least four home football games each year at Selby Stadium, meeting fellow members of the Ohio Athletic Conference. Hayes High School, a member of the Capital Conference, plays at Gauthier Field adjoining the high school. Buckeye Valley, Olentangy and Big Walnut all play attractive schedules. The Ohio State University "Buckeyes", always at or near the top of the ratings, play home games nearby in the massive 80,000-seat Ohio Stadium. In recent years exhibition pro football games have also been scheduled for Ohio Stadium in addition to the regular season play in Cleveland and Cincinnati, easily accessible via Interstate 71. Ohio Wesleyan plays all its home basketball games in Edwards Gymnasium, to be improved and remodeled as part of the college's proposed Branch Rickey Physical Education Center, to be named for the famous OWU alumnus. St. John Arena, home of the Ohio State basketball team, offers university division basketball and serves as the site for State High School Championships in March each year. Both Ohio Wesleyan and Hayes High School also have varsity swimming teams which use Pfeiffer Natatorium on the OWU campus. Each has home meets open to those interested in watching competitive swimming. Hayes and OWU baseball teams partici- pate with teams in their respective leagues, and summer softball competition is available for juvenile and adult players. Tennis also is drawing more and more players to city, university and subdivision courts. Even fans of soccer and lacrosse get a chance to see intercollegiate games, as those are two of the twelve sports in which OWU competes. Snow skiing (weather permitting) is less than two hours away with trails at Bellefontaine and near Mansfield which attract many Delaware residents. Some Delaware families belong to the Columbus chapter of the AYH (American Youth Hostel), which has a complete schedule of year-round athletic activities including hiking, cross-country skiing, and canoeing on the Olentangy River.

Description An account of the resource [page 19] [corresponds to page 17 of Welcome to Delaware 1972] INDUSTRY Industry in Delaware has a long and diversified history from the grist and sawmills along the rivers in the city's earliest years to the newest occupant of the modern Industrial Park. Its present 46 manufacturers and processors range from meticulous crafters of fine wooden games to the heavy industry of making pumps and motors. Industrial development took on new impetus with the 1963 opening of an Industrial Park on the city's western edge. Convenience of the Delaware Municipal Airport, with runways capable of handling company jets and a taxi strip leading to the park, was one attraction. For others, the half-hour driving time to the major Port Columbus International Airport fulfilled broader company transportation needs. By 1973, the Industrial Park had as occupants PPG Industries, with a computer- ized paint-producing plant; American Can, turning out beverage and oil containers; Nippert Electric, copper components; and Trus Joist, roof and floor supports. About 175 acres remain for development. Nearby are Ranco, the city's largest employer with a work-force of more than 1400 producing automatic controls; J. G. Castings, a subdivision of Jeffrey Galion, Inc., makers of foundry equipment; Delo Screw Products, and Sunray Stove, gas and electric ranges. Other companies have chosen to locate on the highways with lead into Delaware. Comparative newcomers are the North Elec- tric Research and Engineering Center, work- ing primarily on the complex problems of electronic switching for the independent telephone industry at its new facility south of town, and Western Auto, which opened a regional distribution center on US 42 in 1973. Swan Rubber, a division of Amerace-Esna Corp, has announced planned expansion of its Route 23 offices. A unique industry in this country is World Wide Games, manufacturer of superior quality table games and brain-teasing puzzles. Equally important to Delaware's economy are the many locally-based indus- tries, from Greif Bros., with corporation headquarters here and container manufactur- ing plants across the country, to the small plants which supply a wide variety of products.

Description An account of the resource [page 20] [corresponds to page 18 of Welcome to Delaware 1972] RESEARCH Research operations in the Delaware area literally reach from the earth to the stars. Scientists at the U.S. Department of Agriculture Laboratories north of town seek new knowledge in tree and plant development, insect and disease research, and pest control, while south of town, astronomers at Perkins Observatory scan the skies. In industrial labs, scientists are working in a variety of areas from telecommunications advances to medical and diagnostic agents. At the Paul H. Henson Research Center, more than 400 scientists and technicians are involved in research and development in telecommunications for govern- ment and industrial use. It is one of two main centers of such research for North Electric; a smaller one is in Columbus. The USDA installation near the Delaware Reservoir almost tripled in size with a 1970 expansion and now totals 39,000 square feet with thirty labs plus greenhouses. There, forest service specialists work with insect and disease prevention and as northeastern field office for State and Private Forestry, offer guidance to land managers in Ohio and surrounding states. Agricultural research scientists are particularly pursuing genetic improvement of trees and plants for urban growing conditions. Perkins Observatory long has been an important astronomical research center with its 32-inch reflector and radiotelescope. It is operated cooperatively by Ohio Wesleyan and Ohio State Universities. Other OWU research projects, from the social science area of market analysis to biological studies for environmental protection, provide plus factors in Delaware city planning.

Description An account of the resource [page 21] [corresponds to page 19 of Welcome to Delaware 1972] AGRICULTURE Agriculture continues to be important to the economy of Delaware, with 1,389 farms listed in a recent census. About half have product sales in excess of $2500 a year, with total cash farm receipts running more than $13 million annually. The biggest cash crop locally is soybeans, which make up about one-fourth the dollar total. Dairy products and cattle together account for about another one-third. Corn and hogs are also significant parts of county agricultural sales. Research is being carried out at the 246-acre U.S. Department of Agriculture Laboratories near the Delaware Reservoir. Agriculture education and information is made available to all interested residents of the county by extension workers and vocational teachers in city and county schools, and will be an important part of the new Joint Vocational School curriculum. The county had a co-operative Extension Service, including a county-wide 4-H program. The FFA (Future Farmers) and FHA (Future Homemakers) are active in all four county school systems and annually win national recognition.

Description An account of the resource [page 4] [corresponds to page 1 of Welcome to Delaware Ohio 1979] welcome to delaware Delaware is growing fast, but like a fine racing standardbred, it is keeping its head as it quickens the pace. At 20,000, the city's population is already ahead of projections from the early '70's. A recent study predicts 26,000 residents within the next eight to ten years. The Ohio Depart- ment of Economic and Community Development has predicted a population boom of 63.2 percent for the county by the year 2000, one of the fastest projected growth rates in the state. Delaware still offers the best of both worlds . . . quiet tree-lined streets and friendly faces and modern services of a small city and the convenience of a major city, Columbus, only thirty minutes away. Citizens and public officials are working to keep the features that have made Delaware attractive to its long-time residents. Hundred-year-old homes find appreciative owners and diligent restorers, but new homes and apartment complexes are also springing up in many sections of town. Consultants have been retained to guide the city in the development of new residential areas and expanding services. Several features make Delaware unique: its central location with accessibility to major highways, the cultural enrichment afforded by Ohio Wesleyan University and the excitement of Grand Circuit Harness Racing in the Little Brown Jug, one of the sport's biggest events. Delaware is also in a growing recreation area, with water sports available on nearby rivers and at the four reservoir watershed lakes in the county. There's a strong sense of history in Delaware, which traces its beginnings to the opening of the Northwest Territory and claims among its native sons the United States' nineteenth president, Rutherford B. Hayes. But there is also a strong belief in the future. We hope this book will bring you to believe in Delaware as we do.

Description An account of the resource [page 5] [corresponds to page 2 of Welcome to Delaware Ohio 1979] our heritage In 1801 the first pioneers settled in an area which was still occupied by the Delaware Indians. Maps from the middle of the 18th Century show that Mingoes and other tribes had pre-Revolutionary settlements along a trail from the lower Scioto Valley northward to the Sandusky Bay area. Hundreds of years earlier, the Mound Builders inhabited this area leaving behind several mounds in Delaware County. Delaware County was formed in a division of Franklin County in 1808, the same year the city of Delaware was founded. Immediately the county seat, Delaware was seriously considered for the state capital before Columbus was selected. During the War of 1812, Delaware served as headquarters for General William Henry Harrison. A few of Harrison's soldiers are buried in area cemeteries. With the Treaty of Greenville in 1814, Indians left the area and settlers poured in. Among these settlers were the parents of Rutherford B. Hayes. Born in Delaware in 1822, Hayes served as a general in the Civil War, governor of Ohio, and nineteenth president of the United States. Hayes met his wife, Lucy Webb Hayes, when she came to Delaware as a special student at Ohio Wesleyan University in the days before it was officially coeducational. Ohio Wesleyan University was founded in 1842. Its first building was the Mansion House, a health resort built near a medicinal springs in 1833. The resort, billed as the "Saratoga of the West", failed after the Panic of 1837 and was purchased by Methodists seeking to establish a liberal arts college. The Mansion House, now called Elliott Hall, is still in use at Ohio Wesleyan and is one of three campus buildings listed in the National Registry.

Africa Road in eastern Delaware County owes its name to this era. Delaware's present challenges are less dramatic than Indian unrest and abolitionism, but no less important. The local government and citizenry work closely to meet these challenges.

Description An account of the resource [page 7] [corresponds to page 4 of Welcome to Delaware Ohio 1979] community services Delaware's city government is a council-manager system with seven members serving four-year overlapping terms. They work with an annual budget in excess of $3 million, drawn mostly from the city's modest income tax and 3 mill portion of the overall 39 mills per dollar valuation real estate tax. Delaware County government is headed by a three-member Board of Commissioners serving four-year terms, assisted by a full-time County Administrator. The county's $4.6 million budget includes $1.5 million for construction and maintenance of an extensive county road system totaling nearly 500 miles. General Fund revenues are derived from a 2.9 mill real estate tax, fees for various services performed and the 1/2 of 1 per cent permissive sales tax. Diversified industry, agriculture, and retail and service establishments provide a wide range of job opportunities in Delaware County. The local level of unemployment is consistently among the lowest in the nation. The city's water and sewage system has recently been expanded to meet growing needs. The Delaware Reservoir will provide the city with an adequate water supply well into the future. A county water system already exists and a countywide sewer system for the southern part of the county is under construction. Delaware's access to major highways is one of its greatest assets. Four-lane US 23 South makes a half-hour commute for the many Delaware residents who work in northern Columbus; US 36 and 37 provide four-lane access to Interstate 71. Delaware's location midway between Cleveland and Cincinnati (each is approximately 140 miles away) and its proximity to Columbus have made it a convenient choice as home for sales representatives. Delaware County is rated territory 39, which allows residents the most reasonable automobile insurance rate in Ohio. The City of Delaware has a Class 4 fire rating by the Ohio Rating Bureau, recognizing the protection of all areas of the city by a well- trained, well-equipped fire depart- ment. The department also carries on an extensive fire training pro- gram in all industrial plants in the city as well as safety programs in the schools.

Description An account of the resource [page 8] [corresponds to page 5 of Welcome to Delaware Ohio 1979] Community leaders and organizations work hard to keep all services -- security, medical, welfare, transportation and education -- first-rate and up-to-date. In Delaware County 38 volunteer and governmental agencies offer a variety of health and welfare services to all citizens. The Unit- ed Way provides partial or total funding for these 14 agencies: Alcohol Council, American Red Cross, Boy Scouts, Council for Retarded Citizens, Dental Fund, Girl Scouts, Help Anonymous, Homemaker Home Health Aide Services, Liberty Community Center and Liberty Community Children's Center, Mental Health Association, Salvation Army, Senior Citizens, Speech and Hearing Center, and United Way Community Services. Because Delaware County responds generously to Red Cross blood drives, credit for blood is available to the immediate families of Delaware County residents anywhere in the U.S. or Canada. In this and many other ways the Red Cross helps more than 9000 city and county residents each year. The Salvation Army Camp at Greenwood Lake on the northern edge of town offers a summer camp program reaching more than 1,000 low-income children in central Ohio. Among other local service agencies are the Cancer Society and Heart Fund; both are very active in the city and on the Ohio Wesleyan campus. Many national and international service, community and patriotic organizations are active in Delaware, including Kiwanis, Rotary, Lions, Jaycees, Sertoma, Altrusa, National Association of Secretaries, American Association of University Women, League of Women Voters and Business and Professional Women, to name just a few. Veterans' groups include the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Amvets, Veterans of WWI and their auxiliaries. The DAR, Colonial Dames and the Daughters of Union Veterans also have local clubs. A listing of all civic, social and service clubs in the county is available in the United Way Office. The services of the Delaware County District Library extend far beyond its downtown building housing 61,000 volumes. Young children learn to enjoy books through weekly story hours and the Bookmobile covers almost 4,000 county miles each year serving outlying areas. The Library's collection includes more than 100 magazine subscriptions, records, films and items of local history and genealogy. Providing newspaper coverage of Delaware and the surrounding area is the Delaware Gazette, founded in 1818 and published daily since 1884, and the Sunbury News. Citizens also can receive home delivery of the Columbus and Cleveland papers, and other major city papers are available through newsstands. Local radio stations are WDLR and during the school year, Ohio Wesleyan's station, WSLN. All Columbus metropolitan radio stations, three network television stations and one UHF station, Ohio State's WOSU, offer excellent reception. Cable television is available in the city for a small charge.

Description An account of the resource [page 9] [corresponds to page 6 of Welcome to Delaware Ohio 1979] medical services Delaware has unusually fine medical services and facilities for a city of its size. Grady Memorial Hospital, a non-profit, short term, general medical/surgical facility, is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals and is a member in good standing of the American Hospital Association and the Ohio Hospital Association. Grady has 130 beds and provides medical, surgical, pediatric, full maternity, coronary and emergency care. An addition was completed in 1976 with emphasis on ancillary services and outpatient care. Typical ancillary services are laboratory, x-ray, physical therapy, operating room, cardio- pulmonary, chemotherapy room, EKG, EEG, recovery room, pharmacy and outpatient clinics. There are 28 active physicians; 23 consulting physicians, both generalists and specialists, and 14 dentists in practice in the area. Other specialists maintain special weekly hours in Delaware. Way House, a tri-county medical health center, offers outpatient psychological and psychiatric care. Ten additional health facilities, including the hospitals associated with the Ohio State University Schools of Medicine, are located within a 30 mile radius. Paramedics from the Delaware City Fire Department and the county emergency medical service provide emergency treatment and ambulance service.

The Delaware Christian School operates from the Delaware Bible Church. There are Jewish synagogues in Columbus and Marion and a Unitarian church in northern Columbus. Many Delaware churches trace their origins to the town's earliest years. First Presbyterian Church, organized in 1810, and St. Peter's Episcopal, 1817, the city's two oldest, continue to meet in buildings that date from the mid-1800s. Just a block away, William Street United Methodist Church, which began in 1818, occupies its fourth sanctuary, a new building completed in 1973. An active county ministerial alliance and Church Women United carry out community service programs that extend across denominational lines. All of Delaware's churches have vigorous youth organizations.

In addition to its beautiful, older homes, Delaware also has many newer residential areas in all sections of the city and county. Real estate has maintained its market value over the years as pride of ownership in the area is great. Homes range from $35,000 to over $100,000 depending on location and condition. Apartments in Delaware are abundant and varied. There are many newer apartment units and twin singles and some older, large homes converted into apartments with rentals varying from $125 to $300 per month depending on size, location, facilities and other factors. Single family homes for rent are difficult but not impossible to find. Condominium units, from $25,000 to $40,000, represent care-free living as far as exterior maintenance is concerned. Two local condominium areas offer swimming pools and tennis courts. Homes, apartments and condominiums are almost always in the planning stages in the area.

Description An account of the resource [page 13] [corresponds to page 10 of Welcome to Delaware Ohio 1979] education Educational opportunities in Delaware County area run the full range from pre-kindergarten through graduate school: city and county public schools, a parochial school, a vocational school, a school for retarded children, a sheltered workshop for retarded adults, Ohio Wesleyan University and The Methodist Theological School in Ohio. The Delaware city schools, serving about 3800 pupils, rank in the top one-fourth in Ohio in enrollment and in the upper half in per pupil wealth. The school tax is just above the state median and includes a building levy which permits the system to make additions to building and improve older facilities without additional indebtedness. The last bond issue, in 1960 to finance Rutherford B. Hayes High School, will be paid by 1980. A four-quarter curriculum at the high school level, initiated in 1972 as the "Delaware Plan", is drawing national attention. It is designed around four 45-day terms and an optional summer term. The ACT scores of Hayes college- bound graduates have consistently been two full points above the national averages. At the middle school level (grades 6 to 8) team teaching, with "executive teachers" assisted by teacher interns, has been in effect for several years. Many entering children take advantage of the six-week pre- kindergarten summer program, operated without tuition on local funding. Delaware, among the first school systems in the state to offer a full program for the mentally impaired, also provides special classes for the neurologically handicapped. Deaf, blind, and crippled children attend special classes in Columbus at the expense of the Delaware City Board of Education. An enrichment program is available for specially gifted and talented pupils. The Delaware school system is staffed by 204 professional persons, more than half with ten years or more of experience, and more than 30 percent with master's degrees. About half of Delaware's high school graduates go on to college. St. Mary's School, adjoining the Catholic church in downtown Delaware, serves 300 pupils from the city and county. It offers grades one through eight with a faculty of 12, including a full- time reading specialist.

Description An account of the resource [page 14] [corresponds to page 11 of Welcome to Delaware Ohio 1979] Surrounding the Delaware school district is the three-district area served by the county schools: Buckeye Valley (north and west), Big Walnut (southeast) and Olentangy (south). Included in these districts are three high, two middle and eight elementary schools with a combined faculty of 324. Each district is administered by its own Board of Education. In 1974 the City and County Boards established a Joint Vocational School. Offerings now include agriculture, business office education, distributive education, home economics, health care and trade and industrial education include auto mechanics and cosmetology. The JVS serves not only high school age students, but also offers many courses to adults, as well. Adult courses are designed to meet specific and immediate employment needs. Industries are urged to contact the JVS to establish such cooperative programs. Ohio Wesleyan is a liberal arts college with an enrollment of 2200 students and a faculty of over 160. The University employs 500 persons with a payroll of more than $5.5 million, most of which goes directly into the Delaware area economy. In addition, the University spends nearly $1 million annually for utilities. The new Ohio Wesleyan Riverside School of Nursing has upperclass students taking clinical work at various area hospitals including Grady Memorial Hospital in Delaware. Many of the facilities on the University's 200-acre campus are open to use by townspeople. The 340,000-volume Beeghly Library, for example, is one of the finest college collections in the country. The University's large outdoor tennis facility is also open to the public when classes or meets are not being held. Ohio Wesleyan's faculty and students are active participants in community programs from ecological studies to blood donation drives. Hundreds of its alumni return to the campus each year for reunions and special events and many have chosen Delaware for their retirement homes. A comparative newcomer to Delaware, The Methodist Theological School began classes in 1960. Its beautiful 69-acre campus is in the rolling, wooded countryside just south of town. Approximately 250 students attend the seminary. A faculty of 26 directs the studies leading to Master of Divinity, M.A. in religious education, and (in cooperation with other seminaries and universities), the Doctor of Ministry degrees. Other universities and colleges within a 30-mile radius of Delaware are: Capital University, Franklin University, Ohio Dominican College, Ohio State University, Ohio State University-Marion Campus, Marion Technical College, Otterbein College, and Pontifical College Josephinum. Business and technical colleges in Columbus include Bliss College, Columbus Business University, Columbus College of Art and Design, Columbus Drafting College and Columbus Technical Institute.

Racing fever soars each September with the opening of the Delaware County Fair, the only county fair in the world to offer Grand Circuit Harness Racing. The one-half mile dirt track on the fairgrounds was designed by a local long-time resident, R.K. McNamara, and is among the fastest in the country. New records are set each year. The highlight of the four days of racing is the running of the Little Brown Jug, one of the nation's top three harness races with a purse of $150,000. Named for an outstanding pacer of an earlier day, the "Jug" regulary draws crowds of more than 40,000 from all over the United States and Canada. An annual August attraction is the Ohio State Fair, one of the nation's biggest. Each year outstanding performers and exhibitors take part in shows that bring thousands of visitors to the fairgrounds just off Interstate 71 in northern Columbus. Throughout the year its buildings host antique shows, flower shows, automobile displays, ethnic celebrations such as Oktoberfest and professional craft shows like Winterfare. Each spring Delaware holds its own crafts show, the Delaware Arts Fair. Craftsmen come from all over the state to display their work before appreciative crowds lining Sandusky and Winter Streets. For those who love classical music, Ohio Wesleyan's Lecture-Artist Series brings noted concert- artists to Gray Chapel Auditorium each year. In addition, there are numerous recitals and concerts by local musicians, many with no admission fee. For fans of contemporary music, the OWU major attractions brings at least three big name shows to Delaware each year. Newsworthy public figures also appear in Delaware as a part of the Lecture-Artist Series and other special events on campus. Theatre buffs may see productions ranging from Shakespeare to the avant garde at Ohio Wesleyan's new Chappelear Drama Center on its proscenium and arena stages. In recent summers, a town and gown season for family entertainment has been produced with townspeople of all ages in the casts. Area high schools have excellent music and theatre programs. Marching bands, choirs and large- cast musicals draw capacity crowds throughout the year in Delaware, high school students have formed a company called Sneaker Theatre which produces plays for children. Columbus, of course, schedules symphony concerts, Broadway touring companies and virtually all contemporary musical performers on national tour. The Cincinnati and Cleveland Orchestras and the Blossom Center Summer Festival (for music and ballet) are only two hours away. Each summer the Kenley Players present nationally- known artists in musical productions at Columbus' Veterans Memorial Auditorium. Other colleges theatre and musical productions are close by at Ohio State, Otterbein and Denison Universities. 12 Title A name given to the resource Welcome to Delaware, Ohio (1979) (p. 15) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/244365165a8d7edb16aea549dc9807a5.jpg 5edeed974def62c12dc114e0dfb7d143 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 19] [corresponds to page 16 of Welcome to Delaware Ohio 1979] industry Industry in the city has a long and diversified history from the grist and sawmills along the Olentangy River to the modern Industrial Park and the planned development of Center 42, an industrial site for light industry on Ohio Rt. 42 south of Delaware. Today over 50 manufacturers and processors range from racing sulkies to school buses. Industrial development took on new impetus in 1963 with the opening of the Industrial Park on the city's southwestern edge. Convenience of the Delaware Municipal Airport, with runways capable of handling company jets, was one attraction. The proximity of Port Columbus International Airport (one-half hour driving time) fulfills broader company transportation needs. By 1978, the Industrial Park had as occupants: PPG Industries, manufacturers of industrial and automotive coatings; Nippert Company, copper components; Trus Joist, roof and floor supports; Corco, Division of Western Kraft Paper, corrugated boxes; and Grumman Flxible Corporation, buses. About 275 acres remain for development in the Industrial Park. Center 42 has approximately 150 acres available for light manufacturers. Other industries in Delaware are: Ranco, producing automatic controls; J.G. Castings Operations, division of Dresser Industries, Inc., foundry equipment; Delo Screw Products; Sunray Stove Company, Glenwood Range Division of Caloric Corp. -- A Raytheon Company; Pennwalt Corporation, chemical specialties; Correct Manufacturing Corporation, producers of DIVCO Trucks and Sky-Workers; and Abex Corporation -- Denison Division, hydraulic pumps and motors.

Corporation, with national headquarters here and container manufacturing plants across the country, to the smaller plants such as A. C. Miller Company, manufacturers of broom rakes and handles, and Whiteside Manufacturing Company, Inc., producers of automotive equipment. An industry unique to Delaware is World Wide Games, Inc., manufacturer of superior quality hardwood table games and brain-teasing puzzles.

Description An account of the resource [page 21] [corresponds to page 18 of Welcome to Delaware Ohio 1979] agriculture Agriculture continues to be important to the local economy. Agriculture in Delaware County yields more than $36 million yearly. The 1974 Census of Agriculture reported 1,089 farms in the county. Trends show fewer livestock and dairy farms but more grain farms. In a recent census, 592 farm operators reported farming was their principal occupation. Land in farms was approximately 196,050 acres with 156,588 acres being cropland. The biggest local cash crop is soybeans, which makes up about one-third of the dollar total. Dairy products and cattle together account for about another one-third. Corn and hogs are also significant parts of county agricultural sales. Agricultural agencies serving the county include: the Cooperative Extension Service, the Soil Conservation Service, the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service and the Farmers Home Administration through its Mt. Gilead office. The Delaware Soil and Water Conservation District has served the county since 1944. The Columbus Production Credit and the Federal Land Bank provide needed credit loans to farmers in addition to local credit institutions. The Delaware County Farm Bureau Federation is the major farm organization serving the county with Granges being active in some areas. The National Farmers Organization also has a county unit. There are more than 100 4-H clubs serving Delaware and Delaware County. (Information concerning 4-H can be secured from the Cooperative Extension Service.) Agricultural educational programs are conducted by the vocational agriculture departments in each of the four high schools in the county and at the Joint Vocational School. Each vocational agriculture department also has an active FFA (Future Farmers of America) chapter. Adult and young farmer programs, as well as extension educational programs, are available to farmers and prospective farmers.

Description An account of the resource [page 22] [corresponds to page 19 of Welcome to Delaware Ohio 1979] research Research operations in the Delaware area literally reach from the earth to the stars. Scientists at the U.S. Department of Agriculture Laboratories north of town seek new knowledge in tree and plant development, insect and disease research and pest control, while south of town, astronomers at Perkins Observatory scan the skies. In industrial labs scientists are working in a variety of areas from telecommunications to medical diagnostic agents. At the ITT North Electric Company more than 325 scientists and technicians are involved in research and development in telecommunications for government and industrial use and in sophisticated digital switching apparatus for national and international markets. The USDA installation near the Delaware Reservoir now totals 39,000 square feet with 30 labs plus greenhouses. Forest service specialists work with insect and disease prevention and, as northeastern field office for state and private forestry, offer guidance to land managers in Ohio and surrounding states. Agricultural research scientists are particularly pursuing genetic improvement of trees and plants for urban growing conditions. Perkins Observatory, with its 32-inch reflector and radiotelescope, long has been an important astronomical research center. It is operated cooperatively by Ohio Wesleyan and Ohio State Universities. Other OWU research projects, from the social science of market analysis to biological studies for environmental protection, figure prominently in Delaware city planning. 19 Title A name given to the resource Welcome to Delaware, Ohio (1979) (p. 22) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/7ac2ed2b9fba90e99f4c962dc9bf7232.jpg ff67bcb07683cbd6ebd54298f8eebccb Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

In addition to the central business district, there are several outlying shopping centers and a large discount department store. National, regional and local stores offer area residents a plentiful supply of both brand name goods and locally made crafts. It is rare to see an empty store room in a Delaware shopping area. All major American auto companies are represented in our service area. In addition to a great variety of retail products, Delaware is served by professional service companies including insurance, real estate, plumbing, heating and cooling, construction companies and many others. Local, regional and nationally owned financial institutions in- clude a wide range of banks, savings and loans, and finance companies.
