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.

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.

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.

Description An account of the resource [page 15] [corresponds to page 12 of Welcome to Delaware Ohio 1979] special events Horse races and chamber orchestras, Broadway musicals and marching bands, country fairs and foreign movies . . . all are a part of the Delaware scene. 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://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 17] [corresponds to page 14 of Welcome to Delaware Ohio 1979] sports and recreation A significant portion of Delaware County land is used for recreation. There are four large reservoirs, countless fishing streams and hunting areas, a wild life preserve, extensive camping facilities and team sport complexes. Within the city, there are two parks: Mingo Park and Blue Limestone. Both parks have baseball diamonds. Little League and adult softball competitions flourish during the spring and summer. Delaware also has a very active soccer education program. The recently completed Mingo Park Pool Complex is one of the finest facilities in the state. The complex also has an all-purpose room for recreation and community activities. There is a nine-hole par 3 municipal golf course within the city limits and six additional golf courses, including one private country club, in the immediate area. For tennis enthusiasts, there are the 12 outdoor courts and four indoor courts on the Ohio Wesleyan campus and five outdoor courts at Hayes High School. Most housing subdivisions also have tennis facilities and many have swimming pools. Just two miles north of town the City Waterworks Park provides for picnicking, fishing and primitive camping in an area adjacent to the Olentangy River. The 7,000-acre Delaware State Park six miles north of town has 214 Class A campsites (164 with electricity) and a large, free swimming beach on the Delaware Reservoir. Launching ramps are located on three sides of the lake for boating and water skiing with marina space for 220 boats available April through November. Each summer the Delaware Red Cross sponsors small crafts boating instruction at the park. The 5,000-acre wildlife area each of the lake has 50 stocked ponds and several hunting areas. Largest of Delaware County's reservoirs is one newly-completed at Alum Creek State Park in the center of the county. Boating fa- cilities have been installed and Class A campsites abound. Two other nearby lakes, Hoover Reser- voir and O'Shaughnessy Reservoir, are maintained by the Columbus Division of Parks. The Columbus Municipal Zoo adjoins O'Shaugh- nessy Reservoir on the Scioto River in Delaware County. Jack Nicklaus' famous Muirfield Village Golf Course, home of the presti- gious Memorial Tournament, is in the county near Dublin.

An Indian town and frontier village have been constructed to add to the enjoyment. Regular guided cave tours are operated daily during the summer. Football and basketball are the primary spectator sports in and around Delaware. Ohio Wesleyan University's Battling Bishops compete in the Ohio Athletic Conference; the Hayes High Pacers play in the Ohio Capital Conference, and the Buckeye Valley Barons, Olentangy Braves and Big Walnut Eagles participate in the Central Buckeye League. In Columbus the Ohio State University football Buckeyes, always at or near the top of the NCAA rankings, play home games in the 86,000-seat horseshoe stadium. Ohio State's basketball Bucks play at St. John Arena, also the site of the Ohio High School Basketball Championships. Ohio Wesleyan and Hayes High School have varsity swimming teams which use Pfeiffer Natatorium on the OWU campus. Both institutions also compete in basketball, track, tennis, golf, wrestling and soccer. In addition, Hayes has a gymnastics team and Wesleyan fields teams in lacrosse, sailing and rugby. The National Football League Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals, the American League Indians and the National League Reds are easily accessible via Interstate 71. The Columbus Clippers, a fine new Triple A baseball franchise, play in refurbished Franklin County Stadium. In addition to the Grand Circuit racing and Little Brown Jug during the Delaware County Fair, there is harness racing at Scioto Downs and thoroughbred racing at Beulah Park, both near Columbus. The newly completed Branch Rickey Physical Education Center on the Ohio Wesleyan campus includes a gymnasium and field house. The center has year-round facilities for basketball, racquetball, tennis, running, weightlifting and swimming. Snow skiing is less than two hours away at Bellefontaine, Mansfield and Butler. The Delaware Bicycle Club sponsors many outings throughout the year. Some Delaware families belong to the Columbus chapter of the AYH (American Youth Hostel) which schedules year-round athletic activities such as hiking, cross- country skiing and canoeing on the Olentangy River.

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. Other companies have chosen to locate on the highways which lead into Delaware. ITT North Electric Company has a research and engineering center south of Delaware. Western Auto operates a regional distribution center off US 42; the administrative office of Swan Hose, a division of Amerace Corporation, is located on US 23; Bry-Air and Nestle's are located in nearby Sunbury.

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://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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The preliminary work was under the guidance of the first Agriculture Agent of Delaware County, Forrest G. Ketner. The first officers and directors elected were: C. C. Dunlap, president; T. L. Oswald, vice president; Bernard Hatten, secretary; Ashton S. Conklin, treasurer; Lewis Slack, W. W. Ferguson, G. A. Dix, R. G. Dickerson, C. W. Humes, Elmer C. Miller and Walter A. Jones. The only ones now living are Dix, Humes, Miller and Hatten. The new cooperative on June 1, 1919 bought out the "Electric Mill" on South Sandusky Street, from West and Murphy and this burned several years later. W. A. West became the first manager, followed a year later by Daniel E. Murphy, a brother of the former partner-owner. The pre- sent manager, Clifford S. Gooding, who had been elected manager of the Lewis Center Branch in 1924 was a few years later elected general mana- ger of the fast growing organization. During the years the Association has taken over the elevators at Lewis Center and Radnor and the east side elevator operated for a few years by W. A. West, also the V. T. Hills ware- house on S. Sandusky Street and the Dunlap Lumber Yard on the C. & O. R.R. The business has increased from a volume of sales in 1923 of $248,625.00 to $3,750,000 in 1954 and earnings of $9,209. in 1923 had in- creased to $140,000 in 1954. New elevators have been erected in Dela- ware, Lewis Center and Radnor, with modern grinding, mixing plants and machinery shops installed. Present officers are Bernard Hatten, presi- dent; George L. Pugh, vice president; Harry E. Desgranges, secretary- treasurer; and directors: Claude Neilson Griffith, Harold Gooding, Harley J. Scott, B. H. Peirsol, Kenneth Freeman, E. P. Jones, L. Gale Russell, George Pugh and Bernard Hatten. There are now over 1700 stock- holders in this local farmer cooperative.

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

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

We are more than pleased with the response and sup- port which the community has given us in this re- latively short period of time. This confidence has enabled us to grow with the economy in our area and provide new and increased service to advance the development of a Greater Delaware.

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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

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

Description An account of the resource [page 9] [corresponds to unlabeled page 9 of Delaware Welcomes You] RECREATIONAL FACILITIES: SWIMMING - The Delaware County Swimming Pool is located in North Delaware at the County Fairgrounds. Season and family memberships are available. During the colder months Ohio Wesleyan permits many local organizations to use its newly completed indoor pool in the Pfei- ffer Natatorium on the campus. FISHING AND HUNTING - Fishermen don't have to go far beyond the city limits to make their catches. Since the Delaware Flood con- trol Dam gates were closed 3 miles north of the city a few years ago, Delaware has had its own lake which is stocked periodically. The Scioto River, in the western part of the county about 7 miles out of Delaware city also offers good fishing. Boats may be rented at both loca- tions, but all motors must be licensed. Much of the area surrounding Delaware is rich with game for hunters. One of the favorite spots, though, is the hunting area near the Delaware Dam which is maintained by the Conservation Department. BOATING - Sail Boating is a popular sport on the Scioto River. Other small crafts are per- mitted there, too. Many city residents perfer boating on the reservoir north of the Delaware Dam where private boats may be docked for a reasonable rental. Water skiing is becoming an increasingly popular sport at the reservoir. TENNIS - Ohio Wesleyan University maintains a dozen tennis courts on its East and West cam- puses. These are made available to local resi- dents during the summer when the students are away. GOLF - Several golf courses are within easy driving distance of the city, but most local re- sidents hold membership at the Delaware Country Club, just three miles south of town. It is a good nine-hole course. PICNICKING - Two parks within the city limits, Mingo and Blue Limestone, have picnic facilities. Many residents drive to the Delaware Reservoir area's picnic developments and others head west to the Scioto River's east bank. Holiday Hill, west of town, is the scene of many company and community picnics and dinners the year round and offers square and folk dancing. SPECTATOR SPORTS - Besides their enthusi- astic support of Willis High School teams, local residents enjoy watching Ohio Wesleyan's "Bat- tling Bishops" in action in intercollegiate com- petition - football, basketball, cross country and track, soccer, baseball, tennis and sailing.

[photo] Delaware Dam DELAWARE DAM - Besides its scenic beauty and park and picnic areas on both the east and west banks, the Delaware Reservoir area offers the tourist two other points of interest - the Flood Control dam three miles north of the city with its lookout points and the Wildlife Conser- vation Reserve east of the reservoir. HAYES HOUSE - Tourists find many points of interest in the city limits. The site of the birth- place of President Rutherford B. Hayes and also the oldest house still standing, built in 1813, which also was occupied by the Hayes family, are located in the center of the city. THE MANSION HOUSE HOTEL - Once a fashion- able health resort hotel, The Mansion House still stands on Ohio Wesleyan's East Campus. It is now known as Elliott Hall and houses classrooms and offices. The famous Sulphur Spring is down the walk behind Gray Chapel, the building with the high tower. DELAWARE COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY MUSEUM - Here tourists will find many relics of Delaware's past. The museum is located at 157 East William Street.

Members of Chambers of Commerce are told that they do not make contributions to the Chamber, but that membership dues are a part of the fixed overhead of each business. They are a part of the payroll for that silent em- ployee who works steadily to improve each business and the community as a whole.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Description An account of the resource [page 3] [corresponds to unlabeled page 3 of Conger School Dedication Program] THE JAMES A. CONGER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL The idea of giving a name to what had long been known as "East" School had its origin among the people of the school community. The process by which the change of names came about was long, as is always the case where democratic action prevails. But out of the total process came the voice and the will of the people. And it was quite natural for the people to want their school named for the principal who had served them so long and so well, who was loved by so many, and whose loss is still deeply felt. The late James A. Conger, better known as "Jim," would have wanted no better monument to his name than this fine modern educational plant, proudly serving the children and youth of a grateful community. THE CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM Construction of the new addition to Conger Elementary School began on April 20, 1955, and the building was first used for school purposes on March 5, 1956. It is of masonry, reinforced conccrete, and structural steel construction, the exterior being bricks of red Delaware clay. The addition contains four classrooms, modern toilet facilities, kitchen, chair storage room, and an enlargement to the gymnasium auditorium. All ceilings in the new construction are finished in eggshell tone accoustical plaster; floors throughout are of asbestos tile in harmonious colors which give an overall effect of pleasantness and relaxation. Classroom lighting is accomplished by two 28-foot banks of fluores- cent fixtures, and a special light-diffusing glass in the upper sash of the windows. Woodwork is natural-finished birch; chalkboards are green clearsite composition and tackboards are green cork composition. Each classroom is equipped with a sink and drinking fountain, as well as metal lockers for pupil coat storage. Heating is by pressurized hot water, fired by automatic gas burner, and classroom heating units are the Nesbitt book-shelf type for greater utility and space economy. The original building was completely redecorated and remodeled, and the original furniture has been almost completely replaced with modern movable furniture in blond finish. The installation of a centralized time-control system; an electrically operated fire alarm system; a public address system equipped with inter-com, AM-FM radio, and phonograph; and a 9-foot cyclone-type fence around the play areas, add further to the convenience, safety, and efficiency of the entire school plant. Cost of the project has been established at $90,000 for construction; $60,000 for remodeling; and $15,000 for furnishing. THE GLEE CLUB Beginning in 1952 the school has had a glee club, made up largely of fifth and sixth grade pupils. During the 1954-55 school year, when space for rehearsals during school time was completely lacking, and again during the 1955-56 school year until completion of the building program, it was necessary to abandon the glee club as a part of the regular curriculum. It was re-activated in March, 1956, and has nearly 40 members from the 4th, 5th, and 6th grades, all admitted to membership as a result of try-outs. The addition to our school program is made possible by the splendid co- operation of teachers, pupils, and parents with the director, Miss Mack. Title A name given to the resource James A.

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

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

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