But a book of this kind would not be complete did it not contain a few, at least, of the most important facts and events of the history of the otwn its pages were intended to por- tray, for it is but natural that the future of a town is to be judged somewhat by the past. Sunbury was laid out by William and Lawrence Meyers, the original plat bearing the date of November 8, 1816. About a year before this Mr. Whitmore opened the first store. He occupied a amall brick house now the site of Joel Letts' residence on the south-west corner of the square. He was succeeded in the centerprise by Ben- jamin Webb, who occupied a store onthe corner of Col- umbus and Granville streets. A third store was opened by Stephen R. Bennett. Following close on these enter- prises was the building of a tavern by Mr Rodgers. In 1820, the stage lines bringing more trade ot town. Law- rence Meyers put up a grand hotel, Now occupied as a residence by J. D. Skeels.

The first tailor was Haultz Evans, who came in 1828. The first schoolhouse was built in 1831 on the south-cast corner of the public square. Besides serv- ing the purpose for which it was erected, it was also used by the early religious organizations as a place of worship. A saw-mill, tannery and distillery were early industries. In 1865 a stock company was formed for the manufacture of a general line of furniture. In 1868 the town hall was built, the money being raised by popular subscriptions. The third story of the hall was built by the Free and Accepted Masons, who use it yet for lodge purposes. In October, 1872, the Farmers' Bank was organized. Further mention of it is made under the head of Financial Institutions. Thus the town grew, new enterprises being added from time to time, and new citizen coming into it. There are institutions and busi- ness enterprises that we notice separately, which have done much to make Sunbury what it is: one of the best residence and business towns in central Ohio. The foregoing shows what Sunbury has been in the past and what it is now. We have every reason to be- lieve that it has a very prosperous future before it. Its location, natural resources, railroad facilities, healthful climate, etc., are the things upon which we base our pre- diction. The town has maintained a steady growth and improvement during the past, and we may confidently expect that it will continue to do so. The citizens are full of enterprise and business and they will keep things moving. What is now needed is not that our business men be more active and energetic, but that their number be added to with men who have not only the capital, but the ability and energy as well, who will come here and establish industries that will pay large dividends on the investments, and also give employment to men with fam- ilies, who will come here to live. There are many Title A name given to the resource Picturesque Sunbury (p. 10) http://www.delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/252f850e491ee968e4f7211cc8d66426.jpg c24dafee129d2bbba9e94fd8ba405fab Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

There is every probability that an electric road will soon be built through Sunbury, connecting the county seats of Delaware and Licking. Such a line would very materially increase our trade, opening up territory whose inhabitants now go to other markets because of inad- equate means of travel. In the years to come, Sunbury will gradually but surely grow. The gradual, steady improvement now being made will continue. Everything is favorable to such growth and improvement. The town is now and always will be a model residence and business place. We welcome to our midst all who would better their con- dition financially, socially, morally or intellectually. Resources and Facilities. _____ Sunbury is situated near the center of the eastern part of Delaware county. The site seems to have been admirably chosen for the future prospects of the village, situated as it is near the conjuction of three counties, Delaware, Licking and Knox, midway between Mt Ver- non and Columbus, on the Mt Vernon and Columbus road, which was for years the only thoroughfare in the central part of the state between the north and south, and gave rise to a great deal of traffic through, and no little profit to, Sunbury as a stage station. It was reas- onable to suppose, therefore, that with such natural ad- vantages to attract enterprising men, the newly formed village moght grow to considerable size, and attract to itself that part of the three counties which was bo re- mote from any town of considerable size.

Surrounding the town in every direction is land that for many agricultural purposes is surpassed nowhere in the state. The land is especially adapted to the raising of grain and stock. The most of it is available as there are no large swamps or bogs, and few barren hills. The surrounding country is gently undulating. The drainage is good and there are few pieces of land within many miles that may not be well drained. We are located between the Big Walnut river on the ease and Prarie Run and Little Walnut on the west. In the spring and summer season, one standing on any eminence near the town, could behold as beautiful country as God ever created. Besides being adapted to the raising of grain and live stock it is also suitable for fruits and verge- tables, and accordingly considerable attention is paid to this latter industry. All kinds of fruit and vegetables that can be raised anywhere in Ohio, can be produced in the region around Sunbury. Along the banks of the Big Walnut, for several miles, may be found millions of perches of the best stone for building purposes that can be found in the state. The quarry industry has been given some attention, and thousands of carload of stone have been gotten out and shipped to many points in the state. But this industry has never been thoroughly developed. If more men of capital and enterprise would open up quarries and put in the necessary machinery, not only would it be the best and most profitable investment of their money that could be made, but it would give employment to hundreds of men. The Sunbury blue stone will always find a market, for the reason that it can always be used for any purpose that stone is used for. Plenty of the best timber is to be found near the town. Oak, hickory, beech, maple and elm are the principal species. This timber is easily gotten out and always finds a good market.

There is still room, how- ever, for others to go into the business and make money out of it. In speaking of advantages in the way of agriculture we should not forget that there is in Sunbury one of the best creameries in the state. One of the principal pro- ducts of the farmer is milk which he brings to the creamery to be made into butter that sells in the markets for higher than the Elgin prices. The farmers make more money out of this branch of agriculture that any other, and if there is anyone who wishes to improve his condition, we could give him no better advice than to come to Sunbury, purchase cows and patronize the cream- ery. No better place could be found for the location of a factory that Sunbury. As has been said we have plenty of stone, plenty of timber, plenty of farm products, and we also have plenty of labor. Our shipping facilities are agood. We are situated on the C. A. & C. Ry., which is a direct ine to Cleveland, Akron, Mt Vernon and Colum- bus. The company has always been very considerate in fixing its freight rates, and the rates are as low as are consistent with good services. The water supply of Sun- bury is the best. There are many good locations for a factory. Any manufacturing concern which would de- sire to locate here would meet with the encouragement of every citizens. Taking everything into consideration, there is no better place for the establishment of a factory than Sunbury. As a residence town Sunbury is equal to any other. We have no saloons, no dives or questionable resorts. The tone of he society of the village is moral and elevat- ing. Religion and morality are encouraged. Schools and churches are well maintained. Everything that is desirable as a residence place is found in Sunbury.

Feb. 6, 1888 a meeting of the citizens of Sunbury was held for the purpose of establishing monthly stock sales. Officers were elected, money raised, and the sale advertised. The first sale was held March 2, 1888. These sales have been held the first Friday in every month since then. People have attended from all over the country. All kinds of live stock meets with ready sale on these occasions, and buyers are always here. No one thing has helped the business of Sunbury more than the stock sales. The merchants offer special bar- gains on these days, and in consequence are kept busy all day. On sale day the town has much the appearance of a county fair. These sales will be kept up regularly as they have been in the past. CHURCHES. The religious denominations in Sunbury are the Baptist and the Methodist. These two societies have flourished since early in the history of the town. As early as 1820 societies w3ere formed for the dissemination of christian doctrines. There is also a Christian church at Tahway, about a mile and a half east of town, and there are many church people here who hold membership elsewhere. The churches work in harmony for the good of all, and any religious movement receives the hearty support of all the people. ORGANIZATIONS. In secret societies we have the following: Sparrow Lodge, No 400, F. & A. M.; Columbia Chapter, No. 33, O. E. S.;Sunbury Lodge, No. 231, K. of P. There are several other organizations that deserve mention. These are: Sunbury Christian Endeavor so- ciety; King's Daughters; Daughters of Industry; Alumni Association; and the Knox Band. This latter is one of the leading musical organizations in the county.

HOMESTEAD STOCK FARM' The Homestead Stock Farm McPerfect, proprietor, is located one and one-half miles north-east of Sunbury. Mr. Perfect has here fitted up everything necessary for the keeping and training of horses. He is the owner of the noted stallions McGuire, 2:29 1/2, No. 21676, and Homestead, 2:25. Mr Perfect has a good half-mile track on his farm, and once a year conducts a day of races, which are well attended, and at which a number of the best horses show their speed. A COMMERCIAL CENTER. As a commercial center Sunbury finds no superior in any town of its size. There is a larger amount of busi- ness transacted here than there is done in many towns that have twice the population. This is true both of the local and foreign trade. Our merchants, business and professional men are prosperous. We have rarely had a business failure. While those who are here are well qualified to conduct the various branches of business, there is yet room in many lines for energetic, capable men. As a shipping point Sunbury is among the leaders. Hay, grain, live stock and country produce are the prisn cipal articles of export, and the reports of our railway agent indicate that in this respect we are ahead of very many larger stations. There are a number of men who make it their business to buy and ship these articles, and Whenever one has anything to sell, it meets with a ready market at good prices.
