Description An account of the resource [page 2] [corresponds to page 2 of A Short History of Medicine and the Physicians Of Delaware County, Ohio] A Short History of Medicine and the Physicians Of Delaware County, Ohio M. S. CHERINGTON, M.D. The Author Dr. Cherington, Delaware, is a member of the staff of Jane M. Case Hospital. IT is not certainly known just who may have inhabited this area which now comprises Delaware County, Ohio, in the period before the Mound Builders, and they have left little to tell us of their civilization, especially in regard to sickness and their methods of treatment. The Indians followed the Mound Builders and we know that they had their Medicine Men who practiced a sort of psycho-therapy and combined it with use of massage, water treatment or cures, the use of herbs, berries, roots etc., that they, through the centuries perhaps had learned, gave benefit in some conditions, but why they knew not. Even the early settlers had at times found it necessary to seek their help. The Indians used the Mineral and the Sulphur Springs for treatment by drinking the water and they also used a sort of steam treatment from a pit contain- ing hot rocks that, then, had water slowly poured over them and covered by a teepee. Early Concern for Doctor The pioneer settlements of 150 to 200 years ago were usually made by one or more families, and in fairly well separated areas. The teacher, min- ister, lawyer, etc., were not much needed but many settlers were much concerned as to the availability of a doctor. When the Queen of Sheba, from Southern Arabia, came to visit King Solomon, she brought with her a physician, and the great medicinal agent, the Balm of Gilead. The piety, wisdom, glory and courtesy of Solomon greatly impressed her. Upon her return to her own country she sent, contrary to the laws of her land, the great medicinal tree so long known to her kingdom, 800 miles away, to this admired ruler, to be planted along the river Jordan. The tree grew, increased, and furnished medicine to Palestine. Jeremiah, 600 years after, and 600 years before the Christian era, said, "Is there no Balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there?" And so, one of the first queries of the emigrant is, Bibli- cally speaking, "Is there Balm in Gilead? Is there a physician there?" Or in other words, "Is there a doctor within reach?" Now "within reach" in this area sometimes meant a one to even four days' ride. As we will see later, such a one as Dr. Lamb often rode as far north as Portland, now Sandusky, and south to Chillicothe. The settlers of that early day merely asked if the person at hand was a doctor. They did not have to worry about having to select or get the services of one who came under a special type of practice or "ism." It was not until about 1824 that the first system presented itself. This was called the Thomsonian System, evolved by Samuel Thomson (1769-1843) who advocated that "heat was life and cold was death." He had prepared formulas from No. 1 to No. 6 to produce these results. Thus he steamed the patient outside and stimulated him inside with his No. 6 formula. Thomson's book of theories and instructions were sold to families as well as physicians. In a few years this system passed away but the steam- ing and bathing had made an impression which culminated in the erection of many large sanitar- iums in this and all lands. It is interesting to know also that one of the citizens of Delaware, a Mr. Horton Howard, bought the rights to Ohio and several Western and Southern states for the promulgation of this system and the sale of the books. Advocates of the next system to appear were the Uroscopists, in 1838, who thought the kidneys were the source of all our our ills. This, too, soon passed away but served a good purpose as it stimu- lated more thought and investigation on the part of the regular school. Schools of Other Systems I do not know when the Eclectic School of thought made its appearance here but it was not long afterwards. An Eclectic School or College was established at Worthington, in 1830. Dr. J. J. Steel was president and Dr. J. G. Jones was the dean. The latter was a partner of Dr. Case, the husband of Mrs. Jane M. Case who, through her will, provided money for the establishment of our Hospital. Also Dr. J. A. Little, a resident of our county, was associated with them for a while. He was a student and a teacher and later became a Presented before the Delaware County Historical Society April 27, 1959. 2 Title A name given to the resource A Short History of Medicine and the Physicians Of Delaware County, Ohio (p. 2) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/567b43d327d5d2b59baeba2bd887afa1.jpg 8d42ad3d3dcf7af8b46944cdbb0d4f8d Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

This College and system had a great influence in this area. Later it was moved to Cincinnati and called the Eclectic Medical College. Today there are none of such schools left. It was an expansion of the herb sys- tem and Indian medicine. The Homeopathic doctrine made its appearance in about 1850, and has had a representative in this county ever since. Today there remains only one such school, the Hahnemann Medical College in Philadelphia, and it teaches all regular school and modern doctrine in addition. Then the many specialty groups began to ap- pear and the masseurs and the osteopaths had be- come established. These last and their method, however, had been known to the Chinese, Hindus, and Brahmans long before the Christian era. Fi- nally, at the close of this era of change, we have the appearance and acceptance of the lady physi- cians, in 1840, who have played an increasingly important part up to the present time. It must be remembered also that the lone phy- sician of those early days, besides doing the work of a doctor and a surgeon, had to combine with it that of a dentist and druggist. He also was re- garded as the embodiment of learning generally, and held the respect of the people in all matters. In dealing with the History of Medicine in Delaware County and the individual sketches of the doctors who have served here we are greatly indebted to one man, Dr. Silas W. Fowler, who seemed to be of a literary nature, and what has been written through the years has been done by him. He was here as a young man, in 1880, and wrote the first account on this subject for the 1880 Delaware County History. Again, when Judge Lytle wrote the Centenary History, in 1908, he asked him to write that part and bring it up to date. Dr. Fowler published his own little book two years later, 1910, on The History of Medicine and Physicians of Delaware County, Ohio, at the solicitation of the County Medical Society and the Drake Memorial Association. As he stated, he could not have done this had it not been for the help of the older doctors in 1880, a few of whom went back 50 years to 1830 and practiced and mingled with those who preceeded them. Then again, after 28 years, Dr. Fowler repeated this same procedure. In his early days of practice he was intimately associated with the scholarly and renowned Dr. Ralph Hills, the son of Dr. James H. Hills who had settled in Delaware in 1822, and Drs. T. B. Williams, W. T. Constant, and John A. Little, who often met in the studio of Dr. Ralph Hills to listen to the stories of the pioneer, so graphically related by him, as well as to hear the history of those who came later. Before taking up the individual physicians I want to speak briefly of the Medical Society History. Medical Societies. It has been said that "associated action con- stitutes the mainspring--the controlling motive power of society." Thus it was with the pioneer practitioners of this county, who saw the extreme need for associated action. So in 1848 they set about to form a medical society. Those present were Drs. Ralph Hills, Abram Blymyer, J. M. Cherry, M. Gerhard and a few others whose names are lost. This was to be known as the Delaware County Medical Society. Dr. Hills was the presi- dent and Dr. Blymyer was vice-president. At this meeting Dr. Blymyer read a paper on "Milk Sickness and Its Treatment." Meetings were to be held every three months. During the years 1848, '49, and '50 they met fairly regularly. In 1851 new members were added and on the 15th of June, 1852, they made a permanent organization. Among the many articles in their constitution was one that declared that "no person could be admitted to membership who was not fully orthodox in his professional beliefs and practice." The society after a few years for some cause went to sleep, only to be revived again in 1868. After the Civil War new life seemed to be given to the society and the profession. The Ohio State Medical Society convened in Delaware in May, 1856, while Dr. Ralph Hills was the editor of the Medical Counsellor, the first weekly medical journal published in the West, and which he had established in 1854. At the reorganization of the Delaware County Medical Society in 1868 Dr. Blymer was elected president, Dr. P. Willis vice-president, Dr. E. H. Hyatt, secretary and Dr. J. M. Cherry, treasurer. Others present were Drs. T. B. Williams, W. T. Constant, William McIntyre, John A. Little, J. H. White, Henry Besse, Calvin Welch, John A. Carouthers, Joseph McCann, and A. E. West- brook. In 1869 Dr. Blymyer was reelected presi- dent and at the close of his term he gave a grant banquet to his colleagues. So far as we can learn Dr. Blymyer, in 1869, Dr. Dorrance E. Hughes, in 1907, and Dr. A. E. Westbrook, Ashley, were the only ones to remember the so- ciety with such honor. Harmony and good feeling prevailed for many years when some disturbing element put an end to it. Many reorganizations took place but did not last. After some 15 years of inactivity a new organization was effected and has continued in good form to this present time. In 1904, all schools of medicine of the county were invited 3 Title A name given to the resource A Short History of Medicine and the Physicians Of Delaware County, Ohio (p. 3) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/e0c49ec7cc405c7b22bd2c3ae97c0227.jpg 24d513a6832c518b62908491d7b83c26 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 4] [corresponds to page 4 of A Short History of Medicine and the Physicians Of Delaware County, Ohio] under the broad plan of "charity to all" to become active members. In the very early day of our pioneer settle- ments the few white doctors had little more to use in treating the diseases they were confronted with than did the Indians, and many times the Indians could do it better as they had had many years of experience with them. The most seri- ous diseases met with were: Malaria, which was largely controlled by the drainage of the swamps and the introduction of quinine; Remittant Fever was at first confused with malaria, but when the quinine failed to give relief they then resorted to calomel with some success; Cholera was met with several times as it swept up the river valley and into the tributaries; Milk Sickness--This was a new disease to the doctors and affected cattle as well as man. It was probably due to a poisonous weed and was transmitted to man through milk or from unclean vessels. In reviewing some of the physicians of the early days, we will take the first few in the order of their coming into the county. It is not known who might have taken care of the small number of people here from the time of the Carpenter settlement until the coming of Dr. Lamb. We do know that at Worthington Col. Kilbourn, though not a doctor, did do much to care for the sick of his settlement. First Physician in County DR. REUBEN LAMB, was the first physician in this area. Colonel James Kilbourne first came out to Worthington in 1802 and the next year saw six men settled there who were members of the Scioto Land Company. He may have been influential in persuading Moses Byxbe to come out and occupy his lands in what is now Delaware County. Dr. Lamb was born in Chenango County, New York, in 1774. He is said to have read medicine there before 1806 but we do not know if he had any formal medical education; however, he was well prepared. In the fall of 1805 he resolved to go to Pittsburgh and down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers to New Orleans. However, at Pittsburgh or on his way down the Ohio, he fell in with Col. Moses Byxbe who persuaded him to go with them to Worthington on the Scioto and on north to Berkshire on Alum Creek. Worthington was already a well known town and business center in this area. After a few months residence in Berkshire, Dr. Lamb moved to Worthington. The town had no physician and gave more promise for the future. Soon after locating there Dr. Lamb married Miss Mary Sloper, May 6, 1806. She lived only a short time and on September 13, 1807 he married her sister, Miss Cynthia Sloper. A few years after- ward they moved to Illinois, to the town of Galesburg. The doctor, we presume, practiced medicine there. After a few months his wife died of fever and he at once returned to Worthington. Helped Lay Out the Town In the spring of 1808 Dr. Lamb joined his old friend Col. Byxbe and they laid out the town of Delaware. There is great confusion about his marriages to whom and the dates. It is stated that he was married three times but it may have been more. The 1880 history gives it as four. His oldest son was born in 1807 and was long a resident of Delaware. The Lytle history states that Dr. Lamb first married a Miss Campbell of Worthington and that after her death he married a Miss Sloper of Delaware in 1815. They then moved to Illinois. The following year she died and he at once re- turned to Delaware, and soon after married Mrs. Platt, a sister of his last wife. Dr. Lamb was about 35 years old when he began his work in the county and because of ill health, in 1822 he moved to Missouri where his wife died in less than a year and he returned to Delaware, but did not resume an active practice as before. He died in 1850 and we are told that he left a widow--his fourth wife, at least. Dr. Lamb possessed great energy and mental force. He had the credit of being a man of ability and a most competent practitioner and surgeon, besides being very well liked. His energy and ability called him to many vocations. He assisted in organizing the county and town and in organizing and conducting various business enterprises. He was the first recorder of public records, and the first physician of the county and city, and was called upon to serve a wide area in that capacity. Col. Byxbe erected for him a log cabin, for a home and an office on the corner of East William and North Union Streets on the lot Byxbe owned and where later stood the residence of Hon. J. C. Evans and still later and today the Sarah Moore Home. He lived there briefly, perhaps only a year, when he built for himself on South Union Street and on the banks of the Delaware Run, a palatial cabin that stood on the ground in the rear of where Martin Miller's residence stood in 1880. Dr. Lamb worked hard during these first years and was called upon to ride great distances to attend the sick. He perhaps was subjected to 4 Title A name given to the resource A Short History of Medicine and the Physicians Of Delaware County, Ohio (p. 4) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/4fa0da9b31854b612c253518f08775a6.jpg 3e101a822a0cf22e78c16ac8f7bc3122 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

There were no roads, merely trails or "cutouts" and there were no bridges to cross the streams. Often he would be alone but at times would be accompanied by the messenger who had come for him. Surgical Instruments Scarce From physical disability he was required to quit this very active practice and confine his work to office practice, the preparation of medicines and consultation. The types of diseases that he met with in the West materially differed from those he met with in the East, his homeland. He was acknowledged by all to be skilled and successful in dealing with the diseases of the new country. He disliked surgery, but he was the only one who had any instruments in the county at that time. He freely loaned them to all prac- titioners who had occasion to use them. He was a man of few words and scorned and hated bluff and sham and ignorance in the profession. He was always sympathetic and affectionate, but quiet, socially and professionally. The old physicians were wont to tell a good story on Dr. Lamb. In his early practice, about 1818, a Mr. Shippy was taken sick at the home of a prominent citizen, Col. Sydney Moore. When the crisis of the disease had come, two watchers were engaged, but one failed to put in an ap- pearance. The doctor made his last visit for the night, gave careful and positive instructions to the nurse and left. The man seated himself comfortably before the fire to await the coming of his associate. Weary from his day's labor, he soon forgot his vigil and fell into a deep sleep. Together, the nurse and the patient traveled in the land of dreams. When the nurse awoke, the beautiful sunshine was streaming into the room. Frightened beyond measure and fearing lest the patient be dead from neglect, he walked silently to the bed. To his great amazement and joy, the patient turned over, rubbed his eyes, strethed his arms, and was equally surprised to learn that it was morning. He spoke of having had a good night's rest and of feeling much better, and so did the nurse. The good doctor soon arrived and going to his patient, pronounced him out of danger, and highly complimented the efficient nurse, remark- ing that in the future he would know upon whom to call to watch and nurse and give the medi- cine to his sick. The patient lived for many years. As stated before, Dr. Lamb died in 1850 at the age of 76, having lived here most of 43 years. Dr. Lamb was not left alone long to endure the arduous duties in the wilderness for in 1809 DR. NOAH SPAULDING, a graduate in medicine and literature at old Dartmouth College, and a native of New Hampshire, settled in Berkshire. He remained there but a short time as he saw that Delaware was going to be a city of more promise and so in a year or two he moved there. He had good knowledge and was very cultured. He was slow in expression, but exact in his state- ments, exceedingly amiable, social and cheerful. He was perfectly temperate in all of his habits. The Human Touch Dr. Spaulding was not long in gaining a good practice among all classes. He was noted as a delightful story teller, and with his feet high above his head he would entertain his listeners with pleasing and wholesome stories. He re- mained in Delaware until his death in 1832. Dr. Spaulding was a member of the Protestant Epis- copal Church and a most exemplary Christian. He was also a fine singer, and taught classes in singing. He left his imprint upon the commu- nity for many years. In 1818 he assisted in organizing the first Sunday School in the county. His scholarly qualifications secured his appointment as a mem- ber of the board of county examiners for teach- ers. He made a pleasing impression on one of Delaware county's greatest and most noted phy- sicians, Dr. Ralph Hills. When a mere youth medical profession was rapid and he grew into Hills came before the board for examination for credentials to teach school. Suddenly Dr. Spauld- ing turned to the young man and said "Ralph, what is the difference between six dozen and a half dozen dozen." The answer being promptly given the Doctor turned to his associates and said "You may as well write out his certificate. He is one of Dr. James Hills' sons and we know what he is." There is a joke handed down about Dr. Spauld- ing. It seems he had not the most explicit con- fidence in his own professional judgment. One day he met Dr. Lamb on the street and said "Doctor, I have given my wife some blue pills, and they have not acted as they should, see what you think of them," showing some he had in his hand. Dr. Lamb examined them, placed one between his teeth and then remarked: "These are buckshot and made of lead." The third doctor to locate in the county was DR. N. HAWLEY. He came to the well adver- 5 Title A name given to the resource A Short History of Medicine and the Physicians Of Delaware County, Ohio (p. 5) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/b3f8dfd04c11bde4f971655de94497e3.jpg 1b53eece728911daaa2280dcedc157d0 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

His remarkable energy, shrewdness and great skill gave him his share of the work in the new land. He also was armed with pleasing anec- dotes and attractice stories which entertained his numerous friends. He died in 1822. He was advanced in years when he came to Berkshire and was known as "Old Dr. Hawley" from the beginning. Misfortune Takes Its Toll DR. SILAS MCCLARY, the fourth doctor to settle in the county, in 1813 came to Berkshire, where all seemed to settle first. After 20 years of labor there he moved to Delaware and in a short time went to Radnor, where he died. He, we think, was the first doctor to settle in Radnor. In his earlier days he was quite successful in business but in later life misfortune came upon him and he was left destitute and uncared for when he died. Some traits of his character always pre- vented him from becoming a favorite or friend of members of the profession and his services were seldom sought after by them. DR. SAMUEL MOULTON, was the fifth physi- cian to take up his work here and he came di- rectly to Delaware, thus slighting Old Berk- shire, in 1819. He came from Rutland, Vermont, where he graduated in medicine. His rise in the great favor and into an extensive practice. Dr. Moulton was well read, skillful, and made few mistakes. Dr. Lamb esteemed him highly for his learning and gentlemanly qualities and often sought his council. The "White Plague" or tuberculosis cut his brilliant career short and he died in 1821, or '22, at the age of 29 years. For many years his name was kept green among the people in this locality by Dr. Lamb and others prescribing and using "Dr. Moulton's Cathartic Pills." DR. ELEAZER COPELAND, the sixth to locate in the county, came during the same year as Dr. Moul- ton--1819. Also from Vermont, he located in Zoar, now called Galena, and to our knowledge, was the first doctor there. He was a shoemaker by trade and studied general subjects and medicine while plying his trade. All will admit he was a self-made man. While working at the bench he committed to memory Murray's English Grammar in two weeks' time. Other texts followed in rapid succession and then he prepared himself for schoolteaching. While teaching school he studied Greek and Latin, which he mastered without an instructor, and soon became a perfect translator of both languages. He took up the study of medicine in the same manner and became a careful, skill- ful and excellent physician. District Censor Dr. Copeland was highly esteemed by all of his professional brethren. He held the position of censor of the Sixth and afterwards of the Eleventh Medical District of Ohio, composed of the counties of Franklin, Marion, Crawford and Delaware. He was accidentally drowned in Big Walnut Creek, near Galena, in 1834. As a wise counsellor, a superior physician, a mature scholar and a useful citizen, his loss was deeply felt in all circles. DR. ROYAL N. POWERS, the seventh doctor to come to the county, located in Delaware in 1820. It is not known where he came from or where he went from here. His conduct was not ap- preciated in the community and he was compelled to leave unceremoniously, on a rail, carried by several citizens, and others who accompanied him a short distance from the town, as a lasting re- membrance of their good will. DR. ALPHEUS BIGELOW, the eighth doctor, settled in Zoar, now Galena, in 1820--perhaps a year after Dr. Copeland. He was a brother of the celebrated evangelist, the Reverend Russell Bigelow, of the Methodist Church. The doctor, like his brother, was a self-educated man. Both men possessed great energy of character, as well as strong intellect. He possessed a mind of his own and excellent judgment. Dr. Bigelow was not a regular graduate, like many others in the county, and he seldom evinced any disposition to cultivate an intimacy with any school of medi- cine, but he was a very skillful physician. He died in 1850 and had been in practice in one place, longer than any other physician at that time in the county. James Harvey Hills DR. JAMES HARVEY HILLS, probably the ninth physician to come to Delaware, was raised at Farmington, Connecticut, and educated at Yale College. He gained his early medical knowledge in the office of his brother-in-law, Dr. Eli Todd, out East, who was one of the most highly edu- cated men in the profession of his time. After practicing at his home place Dr. Hills determined to go west and so set out for Ohio. He is known to have settled first at Ravenna, Ohio, but in due time located at Worthington, in 1808. Here he soon grew in much favor and was called for, far and near, to attend the afflicted. He made frequent trips to Berkshire and Delaware 6 Title A name given to the resource A Short History of Medicine and the Physicians Of Delaware County, Ohio (p. 6) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/c5cd1f7643cad22a0b2d6ac7186d2dba.jpg a0d1566db995a43c7563774b4f79c63e Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

At this point, I want to speak a bit of side- light history. Soon after locating in Worthing- ton Dr. Hills became affiliated with the New England Lodge, F. & A. M. He took the Fellow Craft degree on April 24, 1809, while Col. James Kilbourne was Worshipful Master and Ezra Gris- wold was Secretary; Samuel Sloper, the father-in- law of Dr. Lamb, was Tyler and William Little was a member. I mention this for in a few years he located in Delaware and found them all to then be residents there. Dr. Hills was raised to the sublime degree of a Master Mason, May 10, 1810. He served in different chairs and soon he joined the Horab Chapter of Royal Select Masters. Hardships of Military Campaign While living in Worthington Dr. Hills was found ready for duty when the War of 1812 be- gan and he was made Surgeon of the Sixth Regi- ment of regulars, and marched with General Harrison through the forests of central Ohio to Fort Defiance on the Maumee River near Toledo. While there he became seriously ill and a scout was sent back to tell his wife of his illness. She at once had her faithful riding mare saddled and prepared for the long and dangerous journey of 130 miles, through the forests and swollen streams amidst dangers and death from the red men and English scouts, to her sick and possibly dying husband. Finally, safely reaching the camp she ministered to him and others there until Dr. Hills had recovered and they could return to Worthington and to their family. In 1818 they left there and moved to Darby Plains, in Logan County, and lived at West Liberty for four years, when they came to Delaware, in 1822. Here they found a town of about 40 houses and 250 people enjoying life. Among them were the Kilbournes, Littles, Byxbes, Walkers, Lambs, Hayes, and Sydney Moore with all of whom he had fraternized at Worthington. Dur- ing this year the Reverend Joseph Hughes died from the plague. Through the years many of the town's finest men were taken by this same plague, or Milk Sickness, among them being Mr. Hayes, the father of United States President Rutherford B. Hayes; J. B. Andrews, the father of Hon. Charles Sweetzer; and in 1830 Dr. James H. Hills. Dr. Hills had married Miss Beulah Andrews, back East and was the father of a large family. There were three sons named Ralph, two having died in infancy, and the third who followed in the footsteps of his father and attained great prominence. The other sons were Reuben E., Chauncey Harvey, Darwin T., and James H. The daughters were Eleanora, Mary Jane, Rachel, and Mary. All of the children left their imprint for much good on the community in which they lived. DR. GEORGE M. SMITH, of New Hampshire, came to Delaware in 1826 and formed a partner- ship with Dr. James Hills. He was a thorough anatomist. He was compelled to leave his native State for exhuming a human body for the purpose of study. After several years in Delaware his abode was discovered by the authorities in the East. He then went to Mississippi where he married a woman of wealth. In a few years he returned north on a visit and died of cholera. Dr. Smith is particularly remembered because he was the first one to introduce quinine in the county for the treatment of chills and fever, and malaria. This was in 1826. DR. W. W. MILLER, given to us by Virginia in 1827, first practiced in famed Worthington briefly, and then came to Delaware. While he was well trained, he did not seem to do well here and moved shortly to Columbus and after that to Missouri. He was a brother-in-law of United States President, John Tyler. Ralph Hills DR. RALPH HILLS began practice in Delaware in 1830. He was the son of Dr. James H. Hills, of whom we have spoken and who began his work in Worthington in 1808, coming to Dela- ware in 1822. Dr. Ralph Hills was born in Worthington in 1810 and was 12 years old when he came to Delaware, with his parents. In the first years of his life he was given the most careful training, under the best teachers of his time. At the age of 17 Ralph took up the study of medicine under his father. He went to Cincinnati in 1828 to attend medical lectures. He showed great aptness and did thorough work in all branches, but he devoted himself especially to the study of the nervous system. In 1830, be- fore his graduation, he was compelled to return home on account of the death of his father. The faculty of the college granted him an honorary degree to practice medicine. National Fame The reputation of Dr. Ralph Hills as a suc- cessful physician and surgeon became known far and near. He was a great student in many branches of knowledge and he was employed to deliver a series of lectures on astronomy, and traveled with the Russell's Great Planitarium for two years. He was a great thinker on many sci- 7 Title A name given to the resource A Short History of Medicine and the Physicians Of Delaware County, Ohio (p. 7) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/b387616edfc898ab1991c946d7ee0379.jpg 320c61de9027992c9394a64e5ea530ee Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

As a writer, none questioned his ability. His judgment and calculations upon matters of business were almost unerring. After a few years of hard practice, at the earnest request of his uncle, Dr. Eli Todd, who had charge of a large hospital for the insane at Hartford, Conn., Dr. Hills went there to assist in the work and to study nervous disorders. This study and knowledge under Dr. Tood, laid the foundation for his great work and usefulness in after years. It was in Dr. Hills' parlor and through his influence, that the idea originated and developed into the Ohio Wesleyan Female College. Through him and his intimate friends the Ohio Wesleyan Univerity's future greatness was assured. In 1854 he established and edited the first weekly medical journal, published in the West. Headed Columbus Asylum After two years of editorial work and pub- lishing he was called to the superintendency of the Central Ohio Lunatic Asylum at Columbus, Ohio. For more than eight years he labored in the new field, going to Europe to study all of the new advancements in the great field of nervous diseases. His work of advancement for the unfortunate made his name nationally promin- ent. He was called in 1862 to plan, superintend, and build the largest state asylum in the United States at Weston, West Virginia. In 1871 he completed the task and established a new era in this branch of medical science, which will last for ages. Dr. Hills then returned to his home in Dela- ware and retired from active life. Possessing an active brain and a strong physique for a man of his age and labors, it was not intended that he should be idle. He then designed, pattented and built several fireproof houses which added to his fame. He also organized, among the physicians, a class to study and investigate medi- cal and other scientific subjects. It was said by Dr. Clouston, of England, that "Dr. Hills was a third of a century in advance of his time in the treatment and care of the insane. He has unlocked the strong, iron-barred doors and has cut the shackles from the ankles and wrists of the unfortunate insane and has turned them loose to enjoy the playgrounds and the beautiful sunshine, and has given them other equally beneficial entertainment." Ohio state authorities soon sought out Dela- ware's great thinker and tendered him the posi- tion of head of the Girls' Industrial Home in this County. Again he went to work to benefit humanity. In the very midst of his active work he was summoned by the great Master, whom he had always served in a conscientious manner, to His realm. Stricken with a cerebral hemorrhage, in a few days it was all over and his work was done, October 1879. In a short time his widow followed, leaving a daughter. Others That Followed The foregoing is as much as we can cover now, bringing us up to about 1850, but following are the names of other physicians that through the years have been here some time, were popular and well regarded by the physicians and the citizens: Dr. M. Gerhard came here in 1840, married the granddaughter of Dr. Reuben Lamb, and died in 1868; Musician--played many instruments. He owned the first piano ever in Delaware and it was frequently borrowed by Ohio Wesleyan Uni- versity for commencement exercises. He was the first in the county to use chloroform as a general anesthetic for surgery and the first to use antisep- tics in open wounds. Dr. Abram Blymer came in 1841 and died in 1882. He was one of our best physicians and a great and respected leader in the community. Dr. T. B. Williams came in 1849; Was in the Civil War as a Surgeon; Served long on the School Board and was in the Ohio Legislature. Died in 1879. Included, also, were Dr. John Little; Dr. Joseph H. Van Deman; Dr. Joseph McCann; Dr. E. H. Hyatt; Dr. W. T. Constant; Dr. A. E. Westbrook, Ashley; Dr. B. W. Hedges, and Dr. W. N. Vogt. 8 Title A name given to the resource A Short History of Medicine and the Physicians Of Delaware County, Ohio (p. 8) 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 4] [corresponds to unlabeled page 4 of Fidelity Federal Savings and Loan 100 Years] IT BEGAN THIS WAY Since the beginning of time man has sought and found shelter for himself and his family. At first it was caves and tents. Then he made use of whatever native materials were available, such as sod, stones, skins and logs to fashion living quarters. In America, since pioneer banks loaned money only for commercial purposes, small groups of those hardy individuals discovered that by pooling their meager re- sources they could form a large pool from which participants could draw by lot for home loans. Repayment of such loans plus interest, at regular intervals, would keep the pool ac- tive and solvent. They further reasoned that for safety's sake, the pool's resources should be entrusted to an honest merchant who owned, or had available, a strong safe. Historians claim that the first society organized to assist working men to build or buy their own homes was for- med in Frankford, a Philadelphia suburb, in 1831. It was called the Oxford Provident Building Society. The first $500. saved was loaned, by lot, to Comly Read, a lamplighter. His house, now restored, still stands on Orchard Street as a me- morial to American thrift and ingenuity. Once the Delaware area became well-populated there was a need for financing home building and home purchasing. This situation led to the formation and chartering in February 1867 of Delaware's Building Association. It was organized by two of Delaware's leading citizens, J. D. Van Deman and C. E. Hills, who were successful in selling the necessary stock. This money was then auctioned off and went to bid- ders offering to pay the highest rate of interst. So success- ful was this operation that when their charter expired in 1874, the Association was liquidated to everyone's satisfaction. The Ohio Savings and Loan League has always maintained that this Delaware Building Association was Ohio's very first officially chartered savings and loan and honored it as such on February 22, 1967 with a commemorative centennial ceremony at the Delaware County Fairgrounds and a banquet that night in Columbus. In 1887 the Fidelity Building and Loan Company, now known as the Fielity Federal Savings and Loan Association, was organized. Webster defines the word FIDELITY as "care- ful observance of duty or discharge of obligations".

This history has been compiled to help commemorate and pre- serve those 100 years. Incorporation papers for the Fidelity Building and Loan Company were dated January 18, 1887, 100 years ago, and were issued by The State of Ohio. Historically speaking, Grover Cleveland, 22nd president of United State was mid- way into his first term. Joseph B. Foraker was Governor of Ohio. Delaware County had a population of 27,189 and Henri E. Buck was Mayor of Delaware, population 8,000. Incorpor- ators were H. J. McCullough, H. A. Welch, W. T. Gessner, J. D. Van Deman and B. W. Brown. Company officials were: Brown, president; May Frank, vice president; McCullough, treasurer; Van Deman, solicitor and C. O. Little, secretary. The board of directors, in addition to the aforementioned, in- cluded D. H. Battenfield, W. C. Jaynes, J. H. Smith and Professor J. H. Grove. During these early years there were nine directors. Capital stock was set at $400,000 - 2,000 shares at $200.00 per share. Members were assessed 25? for their passbooks. The first office was on the second floor of the Lamb's Block, northwest corner of Winter and North Sandusky Streets, above M. E. Wolff's Beehive Store (later the Boston Store, David's and presently Essentials). Also, on that second floor were other offices: Bale and Martin, In- surance; Central Union Telephone Company; J. H. Doughman, Attorney; and L. C. Valentine, Insurance. The directors' meetings were held monthly but during those formative years they seemed to meet weekly, mostly to resolve loan applica- tions, judging from the minutes. Mr. Little, the secretary, was paid $500.00 per year and the treasurer's annual salary was $100.00. Office rent was $32.50 per quarter. Check number 1 issued by Fidelity Building Associa- tion and Loan Company is still intact though faded and tat- tered. It was dated April 8, 1887, made out to R. W. Rey- nolds for $100.00, signed by H. J. McCullough, treasurer, and drawn on Deposit Banking Company. It was cashed on April 11, 1887. In their by-laws the Company stated its object in this manner: "The object of the Association is to raise money to be loaned among its members and depositors for use in buying lots, or in building or repairing houses, in holding, improv- ing and acquiring freehold property, or other purposes.

LEARNING YEARS 1890-1900 Capital stock was increased to one million dollars in 1890. The secretary and the treasurer were sent to Dayton for two days to learn about a new and more efficient system, the "Dayton Plan". Their expense account was less than $15.00. B. W. Brown's last year as president was in 1891. It was also C. O. Little's last year as secretary. Vice Presi- dent Max Frank was elevated to the presidency in 1892 but served only briefly due to a fatal illness. D. A. Battenfield was his replacement and W. E. Moore was elected secretary. Battenfield and J. D. Van Deman "volunteered" to "straighten out" Association records and they were paid $125.00 for do- ing so. Saturday evening office hours were established. In 1893 it was a very ordinary year except for an abundance of delinquent accounts. The 1891 line-up of directors included Battenfield (president), Van Deman, M. Miller, J. C. Cox, R. J. Cox, F. S. Sprague, W. T. Gessner, W. A. Smith and C. E. Hills. When J. C. Cox passed away that year, Secre- tary Moore was elected to fill that vacancy. Rent for the office was reduced to $80.00 per year. After flowery words, pats on the back and handshakes all around, Secretary W. E. Moore's salary was increased to $60.00 per month but the solicitor's retainer fee remained unchanged at $18.75 per quarter. Van Deman served as both president and solicitor in 1895 and again in 1896. At that time requests for loans were exceeding available money so the officers were authorized to borrow funds if and when it was needed. In 1897 there was little activity other than normal day to day operation.

By that time availability of money for loaning purposes had improved. Ads advising the public that they had "money to loan" were placed in The Delaware Gazette and The Delaware Herald on a continuing basis. The same leadership and ad- vertising campaign carried over into 1899. In a major reshuf- fling of offices within the same building, Fidelity moved into an office formerly used by Carper and Van Deman, attorneys. Rent was increased to $125.00 per year. To make the office more attractive nine new "Delaware Chairs" were purchased for $13.50 and a new railing was installed. Eighteen acres of Fidelity-held farm land at the north edge of town was sold to the Children's Home Board for $1,100. The directors re- quested and were given a listing of mortgages starting with 100 and ending with number 261 for a grand total of $148,800. Also a request for a listing of all 122 checks written to date was honored. The usual semi-annual dividend of 3 1/2% to stockholders was paid. Longtime director, businessman, Joseph C. Cox, died late in the year and was replaced by W. H. Hague. Thus ended Fidelity's portion of 19th century history. FORMATIVE YEARS 1900-1910 J. D. Van Deman was president of Fidelity in 1900 and he was followed in that office by C. E. Hills (1901-1906) and then by D. H. Battenfield (1907-1909). W. E. Moore was managing secretary until 1903 at which time Frank Wat- kins began his 32-year tenure in that capacity. Among the treasurers serving during that decade were: J. D. Van Deman, W. H. Hague and Robert Powers. Each of the following at- torneys: C. H. McElroy, W. J. Cone and J. H. Lytle were legal counselors for Fidelity within that time frame.

In 1900 the total amount paid in salaries was under $800. By 1909 this figure had increased to only $1,075. During those 10 years borrowing members increased in number from 100 plus to 200 plus; non-borrowing members held steady at approximately 140 while non-borrowing depositors jumped from a mere hand- ful in 1900 to nearly 300 in 1909. Loans were made at 6%; dividends held steady at 5%; and interest on deposits rated 4% and 5% during all ten years. (Since no minutes were available for this period, all facts and figures mentioned here were compiled from reports re- quired by and published by the State of Ohio.) A PERIOD OF STEADY GROWTH 1910-1920 Perhaps the most significant event of this ten-year period happened when, in 1911, the building at 46 North Sandusky Street was purchased for an office site at a price of $7,350. At that time it was occupied by C. D. Young, Jeweler, along with several rented upstairs offices. The following year, 1912, Fidelity, now well-established in the community, moved into its newly-acquired property. There it remained for the next 65 years. For all of these ten years D. H. Battenfield was pre- sident; Frank S. Watkins was secretary and manager and Rob- ert Powers was treasurer. James Lytle served as Fidelity's attorney from 1910 to 1914, at which time it became a joint position with Harry W. Crist. Assets grew from $270,590 to $977,947. Capital stock subscribed and in force went from $539,600 to $1,226,075. Officer's and employee's salaries rose gradually from $1,076 in 1910 to $3,265 in 1919. During each of these ten years, interest charged for loans was 6%; dividends were paid at 5% and interest on sav- ings accounts stayed constant at 4% and 5%.

Starting with 1913 those reporting categories were changed to: stock- holders, borrowers and depositors. The number of stock- holders increased from 426 in 1913 to 582 in 1917, then dropped to 502 by 1919. Borrowers in 1913 totaled 286, increasing to 416 in 1917 before leveling off at 379 in 1919. Depositors totaled 723 in 1913 and reached 2,344 in 1917 before dropping to 1,470 in 1919. Fidelity's au- thorized stock was increased from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 in 1915. Par value of stock was $200.00 per share. Even though World War I had a negative effect on the building and loan business during its course, Fidelity was able to cope with those problems and to maintain a strong financial position. Besides, true to the spirit of the times, generous donations were made to many agencies supporting the war effort. PRE-DEPRESSION YEARS 1920-1930 Frank Watkins was secretary and manager for the en- tire decade, while Robert Powers served as treasurer the most of that time. The president from 1920 through 1925 was D. w. Battenfield and he was followed by Eugene Nash. The year 1920 through 1923 James Lytle and Harry Crist served jointly as Fidelity's attorneys, but in 1924 Crist was given sole responsibility for that important function. Over this ten- year period assets rose modestly from $1,303,350 to the sum of $1,533,623, a situation somewhat tempered by conditions that were leading to the stock market crash of 1929. During this time-period the number of stockholders varied from just less than 500 to slightly more than 600; the number of borrowers rose from approximately 400 to just over 500 and the number of depositors increased from 1,560 in 1920 to a high of 4,040 in 1929. The annual payroll ranged from less than $4,000 in 1920 to less than $6,000 in 1929, the year of the crash. Stock sold for $200 per share and the authorized capital for those ten years was $2,000,000.

The interest rate charged for loans was a consistant 6% throughout this decade. Available records show that in 1920 a donation of $50 was made to the Commercial Club, a group dedicated to the improvement of Delaware. The follow- ing year, 1921, a donation of $200 was made to Delaware's YMCA, thus indicating Fidelity's willingness to enter into community activities. Both Ray Hinkle and Questa Williams started their long-lasting careers with Fidelity in 1927, he as cashier and she as bookkeeper. (Fidelity was operating under Ohio rules and regulations all during the 1920s and it was from annual reports made to the State that most of the preceding information was compiled). TROUBLED TIMES 1930-1935 By now the Great Depression was an over-riding fac- tor affecting all types of businesses. Fortunately, Fidelity, through sound management practices, was able to weather the storm and continue to operate. In those last hectic years prior to Fidelity becoming "federalized" things looked like this, according to reports made to the State of Ohio. The management team of Frank Watkins, secretary and manager; Eugene Nash, president; and Harry Crist, the attorney, remained intact from 1930 to 1934. Then, at that time, Ray Hinkle was promoted to managing secretary and Harry Crist became both president and attorney. Fidelity's assets in 1930 were listed at $1,473,091 and by 1934 they were down to $877,337, thus reflecting the times. Stockholders numbered 614 in 1930 and dropped to 512 in 1935. Borrowers totaled 503 in 1930 but fell to 313 in 1934. Probably the most startling statistic revealing those troubled times was in the number of depositors - 3,761 in 1930 and 812 in 1934. It was likewise with dividends, the traditional 5% dropped to 1% by 1934. In working out details for a federal charter, government authorities suggested that dividends be eliminated for one year in order to "shore up" reserve funds. So, it was in this atmosphere that Fidelity decided to make the change from State to Federal charter.

Description An account of the resource [page 11] [corresponds to unlabeled page 11 of Fidelity Federal Savings and Loan 100 Years] A NEW BEGINNING 1935-1939 After operating under rules and regulations of a state charter for 50 years, the Association was granted a federal charter, number 1,075, dated December 30, 1935. It was for- merly accepted on January 15, 1936 and became effective on February 1, 1936. The Association underwent a name change, becoming the Fidelity Federal Savings and Loan Association. That change came easily. But, in order to comply with de- tailed federal requirements, a new constitution with new rules and regulations had to be written and adopted by the Associ- ation officials. That was no small task. Directors partici- pating were: Harry Crist, Charles Denison, Ray Hinkle, G. K. Hoffman, Eugene Nash, Hosea Warren and Fred Good- ing. Crist served both as president and attorney. Frank Wat- kinds, secretary-manager, was deeply involved in charter ne- gotiations but he resigned as of December 30, 1935 so it was necessary for his successor, Ray Hinkle, to start operating under federal guidelines. At that time, 50 years ago, the secretary-manager's salary was $2,400 per year and the cashier's was $1,200. The president was paid an annual salary of $240.00 and the Association attorney received $100.00 annually. Directors were paid $5.00 per meeting attended. Janitor service was provided at $5.00 per week. Appraisers, always from direc- tor's ranks, were paid $1.00 for in-town and $2.50 for rural appraisals. Interest paid on savings accounts was 2 1/2% per annum while borrowers were charged 4% to 5% depending on the amount of the loan. Assets at the beginnign of this first year (1936) under federal charter totaled $742,875 and at the end, $778,003. There were 36 delinquent accounts reported with a total of $4,895.11. No evidence was found to indicate a formal celebra- tion for Fidelity's 50th anniversary. However, a large ad- vertisement announcing this fact appeared in The Delaware Gazette on the exact anniversary date, January 18, 1937. The ad proudly proclaimed such things as: Half a Century of Community Service"; "Protecting Funds of Thrifty Folks - - Helping Tenants Become Home Owners"; and "Always Secured - Now Insured" plus the fact that the "Average Yield to its Investors Through These Years is Over 4 1/2%".

Description An account of the resource [page 12] [corresponds to unlabeled page 12 of Fidelity Federal Savings and Loan 100 Years] Lingering effects of the Great Depression were still disturbing normal business activity. At one point the board realized they had too many low-yielding investments and so they took steps to correct that situation. Another concern was the fact that four institutions with whom they did busi- ness were being liquidated. Slow business conditions promp- ted the directors to adopt the following resolution on August 30, 1936: "Resolved, that the bank (First National Bank) be advised that there is but little real estate changing ownership in Delaware City or County and that there is practically no new construction of homes, therefore the Association has been unable to make but few desirable mortgage loans." Even Federal Home Loan Bank officials were edgy. They crit- ized Fidelity for not being more aggresive in acquiring mort- gage loans. Since caution had brought them this far, Fidelity officials were not about to shed that trademark. Things remained static during the 1936-39 era. There were no changes in personnel or in salaries. Loans were of the three or four figure variety. Interest paid and interest received percentages changed very little. Repayment of the loans was at the $5.00 to $20.00 monthly level. The treas- urer's job was turned over to the secretary. Since the Asso- ciation owned a number of properties and a few farms, keep- ing them in good repair was an ongoing task. Farm land in which Fidelity had an interest was selling for about $60.00 an acre. By the end of 1939 the number of delinquent ac- counts was down to 10 and the assets were at $616,754.82. Even though the volume of business was down, Fidelity, as always, was able to maintain its strength and reliability.

However, through careful management, Fidel- ity was able to surmount these difficulties and to maintain a pattern of growth, not spectacular, but consistent. Direc- tors in 1940 were Harry W. Crist (president and counsel) Ray Hinkle (secretary and manager), Charles Denison, Fred Good- ing, George K. Hoffman, Eugene Nash and Hosea Warren. Nash passed away in 1941 after serving 30 years. He was not replaced. Instead the board membership was kept at six. When Warren died in 1944, after being a director for 30 years, he was succeeded by Will McElfresh. Then in 1945 president and attorney Crist died after 25 years with Fidelity. Denison moved into the presidency. A. L. Everitt became a director, while Edson Williams and James Blair followed as Association attorneys. Because of poor health, Fred Gooding director for 16 years, resigned. R. M. Martin succeeded him. J. C. Wirthman was made a director in 1947, thus the board membership returned to seven. Directors were paid $5.00 per meetings attended until 1947 when it was doubled. Those directors who served as appraisers were paid $1.00 for local and $2.50 for rural appraisals all this decade. Throughout the decade presidents were paid $360.00 annually and attorneys received a $100.00 annual retainer fee. Crist, who doubled in both offices, accepted the pre- sident's pay but refused the retainer fee. President Denison, at his own request, served without salary. During this ten years there were but two employees, secretary-manager Ray Hinkle and cashier, Questa Williams. The secretary's sal- ary was $2,400 per year until 1949 when it was $2,880. He was also paid a car allowance. In 1949 the cashier's salary was raised from $1,200 to $1,620. Joe Mayer served as cus- todian at $5.00 per week. It is interesting to note that president Denison's first action was to call a special meeting on September 4, 1945 for the express purpose of discussing ways and means of im- proving business. Among the suggestions were such things as better office lighting; an advertising campaign; a new sign and the remodeling of the entire office. Also suggested were Title A name given to the resource Fidelity Federal Savings and Loan Association 100 Years (p. 13) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/90c7ce182594e443b117340a94211e72.jpg e94a24593ec91acde6f7c6b2b2e54e4e Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

All of these ideas were eventually implemented and evidently worked because Fidelity's assets nearly doubled from 1945 to 1949. With but a few exceptions loans were in the 5-figure class and were made at 4% to 6%, depending on the amount borrowed. Interest was paid semi-annually and ranged from 2 1/2% down to a low of 1 1/2 as paid in 1949. That was the year Fidelity qualified to make FHA insured loans. At the outset, 1940, assets were $616,754.82 and at the end of 1949 they were up to well over a million dollars. On November 21, 1949 there was a full-page adver- tisement in The Delaware Gazette hailing Fidelity's 62nd Anniversary. It featured such things as individual pictures of all officers and directors; the safety record of its opera- tion; and the fact that they had plenty of money for borrow- ing purposes. In this same issue, on the front page, there was a news story announcing the fact that Delaware's only other savings and loan association was going out of business. Thus alertness was added to Fidelity's time-honored reputa- tion for caution and safety. A DECADE OF NORMALCY 1950-1960 The 1950s saw a decided increase in building, loan- ing and saving activity, with each year showing a substan- tial gain in dollars and customers. Both GI and FHA loans were on the upswing. For a short time there was no charge for appraisals, sort of a "special". Practically all loans were at the four and five figure level, carrying a rate of 5%- 6%, according to the amount of the loan involved. Interest being paid to savers varied from 2% to 3%. While appraisals started in the 1950s at no charge, that advantage was soon replaced by a $2.00 local and a $3.00 rural fee. By 1959 this charge was up to $10.00 flat, plus the legal fee. During these ten years the secretary- treasurer's salary increased from $3,180 to $6,300. His car allowance was increased from $50.00 to $70.00 a month.

Both of these employees were given an- nual bonuses based on the year's business. For a short time directors received $10.00 per meeting attended but by 1956 that figure had increased to $35.00 for each meeting. The Association's legal counsel was paid a small retainer fee throughout these ten years. During practically all of the 1950s there were but two full-time employees: Ray Hinkle, secretary-treasurer, and Questa Williams, cashier. James Blair, Association Counsel, served all but a brief time during which time Henry Wolf acted in that capacity. Thomas Wright was em- ployed as a bookkeeper late in 1958 and then in 1959 he was made assistant cashier. Charles Denison, who had served as a director for 29 years and as president since 1945, died in August, 1958. He was succeeded as president by Will McElfresh and as director by Harry A. Humes. During his 11-year presidency he refused any salary except that for be- ing a director. J. C. Wirthman, who had served several of these years as a director, resigned that post effective Dec- ember 31, 1959. Fidelity's officials were always on the alert. When certain aspects of income tax laws seemed detrimental to savings and loans, they contacted Senators Taft and Bricker for favorable action. Then, when other savings and loans applied for federal charters to operate in the Delaware area, Director J. C. Wirthman was sent to Washington D.C. to protest. Later Association Counsel, James Blair, was sent there to further lobby against such chartering, the gist of their protest being that Delaware's building and loan needs already were being adequately met. Upon its organization in the early 1950s, The Dela- ware County Bank was added to the list of official depositor- ies that included the First National Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank. Selecting depositories was an annual task of the directors. Although not as frequent as in the 1940s, requests for loan repayment adjustments continued to demand director attention and action. The two rear upstairs rooms were renovated and then rented to the Henry Wolf law firm. The front room was leased to the Democratic Party Headquarters. In 1956 air condition- ing was authorized for the first floor offices.

By the end of 1959 assets were listed at nearly two million dollars. That's about how things stood in the 1950s. THE SIXTIES -- YEAR AFTER YEAR 1960-1970 At the beginnign of the 1960s decade, Fidelity's as- sets were nearing two million dollars. Leslie Burkhart was named a director, serving with Will McElfresh, A. L. Everitt, Ray Hinkle, George K. Hoffman, R. M. Martin and Harry Humes. Money orders were added to services available. Loans were being made at 6% and 6 1/2% according to the amount involved. In anticipation of the upcoming 75th anni- versary celebration, $8,000 was allotted for new counters, modernizing the front and installing a new heating system. Patricia Miller was employed as a teller. Changes were com- ing so fast that board meetings were not adjourned - just re- cessed. Ray Hinkle retired as secretary-treasurer but stayed on as a director. James C. Blackledge became the secretary- treasurer in 1961 following Hinkle's departure. Because of his health, Geroge K. Hoffman, longtime director, resigned in 1962 and Blackledge was named to that vacancy. In mid-January 1962, fifty years after moving from the Lamb's Block building to its newly purchased facility at 46 North Sandusky Street, Fidelity observed its 75th anniversary with a three day Open House. Directors' wives were present to greet visitors and to serve refreshments. For celebrating this milestone the facility had been given a new look. Will McElfresh was Association president; James C. Blackledge was secretary-treasurer; Questa Williams was cashier; Kath- ryn McGovern was teller (having just replaced Patricia Mil- ler) and James Blair was general counsel.

Eighty of them had been investors for 25 years or more. One member even claimed that she had been an investor 70 of the 75 years. Assets were listed as being $2,500,000. During the 75 years over $1,900,000 was paid out in div- idends and interest, an outstanding achievement. In 1963 approval was given Fidelity to make FHA loans. Big loans for church building projects were being considered. Other loans involving six figures were also be- ing considered and even granted. Because of his wife's poor health Blackledge resigned in 1963 and was replaced by Reg- inald Moncur. Interest now being paid on savings was 4%. Ray Hinkle resigned as a director in 1964 after serving 34 years. John R. Florance succeeded him. Also resigning that year was secretary-treasurer Reginald Moncur. His succes- sor was Irwin Niemoeller. Several new employees were hired in 1965, including an assistant secretary, Jack Griffith and office workers, Kathleen Weiser and Mary Starling. The peak year so far as lending was in 1965. Over 200 loans were made, totaling nearly two and a half million dollars. Total savings increased by a quarter-million dollars. Niemoeller was made a director that year and Edward Flahive was named chief counsel. Due to the government's tight money policy of 1966, the building and loan industry, inclu- ding Fidelity, endured a difficult year in making loans. To offset this lack of business, Fidelity launched an intensive advertising campaign. An employee for 40 years, Questa Williams retired in 1966. Victor Milla became a director re- placing R. M. Martin who passed away after being a board member for 20 years. By 1967 the advertising campaign, at about $1,000 per month, was in full swing with appreciable effect. The Association-member appraisal committee was replaced by professionals, on a trial basis. Mary Starling resigned from the office staff and was replaced by Norma Hines. On April 28 and 29 another Open House was held. This was in ob- servance of Fidelity's 80th anniversary. Directors' wives served as greeters and served refreshments, an ongoing tra- dition. This event also marked the 100th anniversary of the founding of Delaware Building Association, the first building society in Ohio to be incorporated.

During a ban- quet that night in Columbus, addressed by Senator Barry Goldwater the role of Delaware was highlighted. In their coverage of Fidelity's 80th anniversary newspapers mention- ed facts such as: the Association had 2000 savings custom- ers; nearly 500 home buyers and assets of approximately five million dollars, an increase of three million dollars in six years. It was a so-so year in 1968. However, a record amount was added to reserve funds. Things begin to look up in 1969. James Kern succeeded Victor Milla as a director. Assistant secretary Jack Griffith resigned his post. Loans were being made at 7% to 7 1/2% interest, while interest on savings accounts was changed often in order to meet compe- tition. Savings accounts were insured up to $20,000. A record amount was spent for advertising. In this one year alone over a quarter-million dollars in interest was distribu- ted, thus indicating a good year. Near the end of the year, president Will McElfresh died. He had completed 25 years with Fidelity, the last eleven as president. Vice president A. L. Everitt was elevated to the presidency. The '60s de- cade ended with assets of over $6,000,000, that figure be- ing three times the beginning amount. THE EVENTFUL SEVENTIES 1970-1979 Business continued to improve with 1970 being the most profitable year ever for Fidelity. Loans were made at 8% and interest on savings accounts was at 5%. Certificates were issued at 5.25% up to 6%. Improvement loans were popular at 6%. Charles Pasley was named assistant secre- tary and Dr. David C. Green was elected to a directorship. An employment benefit plan, sponsored by the Ohio Savings and Loan League, was accepted and put into effect. Assets were up to the $8,000,000 mark. Many applications for big loans started to show up in 1971. In fact, Fidelity was the lead lender in the development of Hayes Colony. Borrowing rates dipped slightly.

Christmas Club participants were given a 51st payment for the use of their money. Assets were re- ported to be $10,000,000. Several additions were made to the staff in 1972, namely: Edward Planisek, Preston Knight, Kathy Baker, Karen Hughes and Sandra Stevens. There was one resignation, Charles Pasley. Business continued to boom. Such line items as loans for construction, property improvement, purchase and participation agreements became very prominent in monthly reports. Assets continued to in- crease, now at $11,500,000. A retirement plan for all employees was adopted in 1973. The issuing of traveler's checks became an added service. Secretary-Treasurer, manager and director, Irvin Niemoeller resigned, effective March 31, 1973 after eight years of service. During his years as an officer, Fidelity's assets increased by $8,000,000. Paul R. McAlister suc- ceeded Niemoeller. Edward Planisek was named comptroller a newly created post. Huntington National Bank, Columbus, became a fourth depository for Association funds. Profes- sional appraisers, E. Richard Sherman and E. L. Disbennett Jr. were employed to be appraisers. Interest was 5.25% on passbook savings accounts and certificates paying from 5.75% up to 7.50% were made available. Director John R. Florance resigned late in 1973. Assets were $12,000,000. Two new directors were named in 1974: C. Neilson Griffith to replace Florance and Paul R. McAllister to replace Nie- moeller. The well known firm of Coopers and Lybrand was hired for internal auditing purposes. Loans were made at 8.75% and 9%. Such new loan terms as: recast of loans, speculative construction, permanent construction; and re- finance of clear property began to appear in Association re- cords. A six-year certificate paying interest of 7.75% was introduced. J. Chad Wirthman and Don Fisher were added to the list of certified appraisers. An application for esta- blishing a branch office was filed with the Federal Home Loan Bank Board. Assets were $13,000,000 at the end of 1974. Permission to expand came early in 1975. So it was not long until a beautifully appointed, modern branch office with three employees was opened in a leased location at 30 Troy Road, within Georgetowne Center. The formal grand opening was March 10-14. Drawings were held for 10 pass- book accounts of $25.00 each.

On display, in sharp contrast to the ultra-modern laundry next door, was crude washing equip- ment used by A. L. Everitt's grandmother while raising a family of eight. Everitt, who had a notable and lengthy con- nection with Fidelity, was serving as president at the time. It was largely through the efforts of Secretary Paul McAllis- ter that the branch office became a reality. This added loca- tion in Delaware's rapidly growing north end provided easier access and convenient parking for customers as well as cre- ating a new marketing area. All services of the main office were made available at the branch office. There were still more developments in 1975. The Association's historic calendar-year policy was changed to a fiscal year, ending on June 30th. Assets were now well over $20,000,000. Mr. McAllister resigned effecive Octo- ber 1st and Edward J. Planisek, who had been serving as the comptroller and assistant manager for three years, was ap- pointed secretary-treasurer and general manager. Another important milestone developed in late December. The 80- year old former Delaware Hardware Store building at 60 North Sandusky Street was purchased from Howard Kraft for devel- opment of a much needed larger main office. Director Leslie Burkhart was deeply involved in this acquisition. Thus, all in all, 1975 was a busy, profitable and eventful year. Starting early in 1976 a great deal of time was spent concerning the use and remodeling of the newly acquired building, a process that involved both staff and officials. In addition, a firm of professionals was hired to assist in the planning stage. Out of this planning came the idea of using an "old look" motif in developing 60 North Sandusky Street into a modern main office. Other things happened in 1976. Loan applications increased in both numbers and ammounts. Dates for all annu- al meetings were changed permanently to the second Monday in August, thus conforming wtih the new fiscal year policy. The interest rate for loans ranged from 8% to 9%. A new pay schedule was adopted for the 7 staff members as well as all officers. Libaility insurance coverage for all Fidelity offi- cers became effective near the end of 1976. With the advent of 1977 Fidelity became 90 years old. The early months of that year were devoted to comple- ting the restoration of their new facility and planning a gala birthday celebration. These activities required the com- Title A name given to the resource Fidelity Federal Savings and Loan Association 100 Years (p. 20) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/560b6f29e82848575b8da4c9455f6907.jpg 6a01c632eabac7b586e972af5124e546 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

L. Everitt and his fellow offi- cers. The restored 80-year old structure was given a new, but "old look" with its exterior being refinished in color and style reminiscent of the 1890s. For the lobby expert craftmen created a Victorian Era atmosphere with ornate lighting fixtures, plush wall-to-wall carpeting, naturally finished oak woodwork and walls featu- ring wainscoting of oak, highlighted with period wallpaper and art work. The lobby's waiting area was made especially pleasant with Victorian style furnishings. Adjacent to the waiting area two spaces were set aside for secretarial use. In order not to detract from the Victorian motif, the work area, with its battery of modern business equipment, was separated from the lobby by a row of teller terminals fashioned from oak. Adjacent to this work area a small private room was created for safety deposit boxes. Beyond the lobby, management offices were positioned as well as space for the bookkeeping department and conference, staff, storage and rest rooms plus areas for future develop- ment. In the recessed main entrance off Sandusky Street a walk-up window and a night depository were installed, both of which blended into the "old look". At the rear, a convenient parking lot was built, with both entrances and exits from Sandusky Street and Central Avenue. A covered rear entrance was constructed off the parking lot, with steps leading downstairs to a hallway that provided ac- cess to the lobby and various offices. In order to celebrate properly its 90th anniversary, to show off the new "Old Look" facility and to acquaint the public with its new location and its expanded services, Fidelity held a Grand Opening Week, June 13-17, 1977. Ray Hinkle, retired long-time Association official, was given the traditional ribbon cutting honor. Refreshments were served and gifts presented to all visitors. House plants were given with $50.00 deposits to savings accounts and ran- dom drawings were held for $600.00 in gift certificates re- deemable at area places of business. The Radio Station WD- LR did live broadcasts from the facility on certain days. After touring the new facility, one prominent citizen remarked, "It is a very significant and handsome addition to the downtown appearance of Delaware. I hope that it will encourage others to follow the excellent example you have set."

The former office building at 46 North Sandusky Street was sold to Cedo Cor- poration. The unused rear one-half of the branch office was subleased to Buehler's; a program of surprise cash counts at various teller terminals was instituted; the liability policy covering officers was changed to a different company and a non-discriminatory policy in making loans became effective. In 1978 loans were made at 9% and 10%, with employ- ees getting special consideration on their loan applications. A limit of $15,000 was placed on home improvement loans. Traveler's checks were issued at no charge to Senior Citi- zens holding Golden Buckeye cards. A new salary schedule for all 8 employees was adopted along with a provision that called for automatic, semi-annual reviews of existing pay scales. Highlights of 1979 included the purchase October 9 of the adjoining building at 58 North Sandusky Street. For- merly a Sears Store was located at this site owned by Mar- guerite Burgess. Interest on passbook savings accounts was set at 5.5%. Continuing a trend of the times, pay raises were given to all staff members and officers. Outright authority was given Association officers to make first mortgage loans up to $45,000. Interest rates on loans continued to climb upward, now being at 12.5%. It was decided to convert un- developed space on the second floor into a room for use by auditors and examiners. Donations were made to the Hayes High School Band Uniform Fund and for the downtown Christ- mas lighting project. With deregulations of savings and loans in the offing, a whole new future was opened up for Fidelity.

Un- solicited outside offers for possible mergers, a common ma- neuver of that day, were turned down. The usual donations to youth groups were made plus one to the Soil Conservation District. Pay raises were given to all employees. NOW accounts and roll over mortgages were introduced. An offer designed to relocate the branch office to a place inside the Buehler Store was also turned down. Loans were made at rates that fluctuated between 11% and 15%. Due to a rash of bank robberies in Columbus it was decided to install a camera in a strategic spot. Economic conditions influenced much of 1981 activity. The trend was toward shorter term, higher cost certificates of deposits and a greatly increased average of dividends paid out. Such a business climate re- quired not only caution but also constant reviews of the Association's investment portfolio. Interest charged on loans rose to as high as 18%. Second mortgages, up to 80% of appraisal value, not to exceed $45,000 and with a 10-year limit, were made available. The usual annual pay raises for all employees were granted. However, the directors and legal counsel, due to 1981's economic slowdown, decided to take cuts in their fees. Despite the slowdown, Fidelity's assets were up to over $27,000,000 as 1981 ended. During 1982 a third teller terminal was installed at the branch office. A great deal of discussion centered on possible restructuring of assets. IRAs were introduced. Interest on 30 month CDs was limited to 14%. Money Ma- ker accounts and 91-day CDs were authorized. Inquiries regarding possible mergers continued to surface. No inter- est in these mergers was shown. Salaries were increased. Considerable attention was given to proposed methods for disposing of low-yielding loans. With the office building now five years old contracts were awarded for painting and other exterior work. The year 1983 was ushered in with on- going discussions concerning possible consumer type lend- ing; a more aggressive mortgage lending policy and possible sale of certain low-yield mortgage loans. Changes were made in advertising agencies and in internal audit compan- ies.

Twelve-month CDs with a $500.00 mini- mum were introduced. Permission to make loans made possi- ble by passage of State Issue I was authorized by the direc- tors. Since he was moving from Ohio, Leslie Burkhart re- signed his directorship after 23 years of service, including 8 years as Association vice president. Business conditions were beginning to improve by the end of 1983. Fidelity experienced a good year in 1984. Richard Dawson was elected a director succeeding Leslie Burkhart. A change was made in the insurance company managing the retirement plan for Fidelity. Salaries for all employees and officials were increased and a maternity leave policy was formulated. In order to complete a change in data proces- sing firms new conversion equipment had to be installed. A. L. Everitt resigned from the board after being a member for 39 years. He was president for 8 of those years, during which time the branch office was established and the present facility became a realty. Noteworthy, too, was the fact that Fidelity's assets increased by over $30,000,000 during his connection with the Association. Everitt passed away in December 1984. By 1985 interest rates were beginning to fall. The business climate was much better. Restructuring of Associ- ation assets continued to be a prime topic. Lloyd Baker took A. L. Everitt's place on the board of directors. A sizeable special industry-wide assessment was paid to the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation. Female employees were given a 6% salary incrase. Martha Law was named assistant treasurer after Thomas Ivory resigned from the post. Fees paid to directors were increased and year-end bonuses were distributed. By the year's end assets were all the way up to $32,664,250. While heading into the last lap (1986) of its first 100 years of serving the Delaware area things shaped up like this: interest rates on loans dropped to 10% and below; requests for refinancing soared; interest on CDs and various other savings plans inched downward; selected employees were given salary increases; and potential sites for expansion were discussed but no action was taken. When the fiscal year ended on June 30th, assets were up to $36,523,620. A Centennial Committee was formed com- posed of directors C. Neilson Griffith, James L. Kern, vice president and Harry A. Humes, president, to plan Fidelity's Title A name given to the resource Fidelity Federal Savings and Loan Association 100 Years (p. 24) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/b313fbd678cf0063d9f6d14a00c41ac2.jpg fb72eea97538dc0a953081d75a7dceda Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

In approaching its 100th birthday, January 18, 1987, Edward J. Planisek Jr., manage- ing officer, announced that Fidelity's assets were up to a record high of $40,000,000. He also announced that the number of borrowers and of depositors were at all-time highs. It was in this upbeat atmosphere that Fidelity's first century came to an end. EPILOGUE In summation, Fidelity has survived wars, depres- sions, slowdowns, recessions, regulations, panics, in- flation and competition, thus attesting to its durability, flexibility and credibility. The Association can take great pride and satisfaction in the fact that it had helped thou- sands of people purchase, build or remodel their homes. Likewise thousands have entrusted their savings with Fidelity and they have been rewarded with high interest rates and guaranteed safety. In short, Fidelity has been good to the people of the Delaware area and Delaware area people have been good to Fidelity. Otherwise there would be no Centennial Celebration. It has bucked the merger trend and is still independent and Delaware's only home- town savings and loan Association. And judging from past performance Fidelity will be around for as long as man's quest for shelter is alive.

Description An account of the resource [page 26] [corresponds to unlabeled page 26 of Fidelity Federal Savings and Loan 100 Years] ADMINISTRATION Since its founding 100 years ago, secretaries have been regarded as top person in Fidelity's day by day opera- tion, always doubling as manager and sometimes as treas- urer. In recent years the title has become a combination of secretary/treasurer/managing officer, without a brief, des- ignated title. Their salaries down through the years were generally in line with thoes in similar businesses. Such benefits as car allowances, bonuses, insurance and retire- ment programs were added over a long period of time. In Fidelity's 100 year history only nine men served in this managerial capacity. Longest tenures were those of Frank S. Watkins (32 years) and Ray D. Hinkle (26 years). Their combined years covered more than one-half of Fidel- ity's entire existence. A considerable share of Fidelity's success would have to be attributed to these capable and devoted administrators: C. O. Little (1887-1892), W. E. Moore (1892-1903), Frank S. Watkins (1903-1935), Ray D. Hinkle (1935-1961), James Blackledge (1961-1963), Reginald Moncur (1963-1964), Irwin Niemoeller (1964-1973) Paul McAllister (1973-1975) and in 1975 Edward J. Planisek was named secretary-treasurer and managing officer. He is still serving in those capacities as Fidelity closes out its 100th year. ABOUT THE DIRECTORS Under the charter and by-laws adopted in 1936, the board of directors was charged with directing Association business. The board, as constituted, consisted of seven directors. They elected their own officers and formed them- selves into operating committees. Regular monthly meetings were mandated with provision for special meetings, if neces- sary. Among board duties were these: review and act upon loan applications; set interest rates for loans and for sav- Title A name given to the resource Fidelity Federal Savings and Loan Association 100 Years (p. 26) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/5a6c2f0fa27492d9ce81deef358978c6.jpg 34e09690f6362f2aacd35cd0fc3a3313 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

In addition, for many years, it was customary for a committee of directors to make appraisals as part of the loan process. For this service each appraiser was paid a small fee. However, in recent years, the directors turned over this important duty to pro- fessionals. When the Association was organized, the di- rectors served without pay. Then as business increased, they paid themselves small amounts for meetings attended, a trend that has continued upward until nowadays they are receiving an annual salary comparable to directors in like businesses. A 1936 by-law states that the Association "shall extend leniency and indulgence to borrowers in dis- tress". Actually the officers and directors have been fol- lowing that practice for 100 years and it has enhanced the image of Fidelity by so doing. Basically the director's role and duties during those 50 years of state supervision differ very little from those of the past 50 years of federalization, except for the growing complexities of doing business in our constantly changing economy. Credit for much of the Association's success and longevity would have to be attributed to these 53 outstand- ing business and professional men who gave so liberally of their time and talent over the past century while serving as directors: Lloyd Baker, D. H. Battenfield, B. W. Brown, Leslie Burkhart, Dr. H. P. Caldwell, H. L. Clark, W. J. Cone, Joseph C. Cox, Robert Cox, Harry W. Crist, Rich- ard Dawson, Charles W. Denison, A. L. Everitt, John R.

Other early presidents were Max Frank, C. E. Hills, J. D. Van Deman, and D. W. Battenfield. Following them were Eugene P. Nash (1928-34), Harry W. Crist (1934-45), Charles W. Denison (1945-58), Will McElfresh (1958-69), and A. L. Everitt (1969-77). Harry A. Humes succeeded Everitt as only the 11th president in Fidelity's 100 year his- tory. He is still serving in that capacity. Presidents have always been elected by the board of directors from within their own ranks. Early on, they were paid the same fee as directors, plus an additional amount for performing presi- dentials duties, generally on a per meeting attended basis. This method of remuneration still prevails. As times and circumstances permitted, presidential pay has been upgra- ded to its present level. Fidelity has been fortunate to have had such qualified and dedicated leadership during its first 100 years. LEGALLY SPEAKING From its inception Fidelity's by-laws provided for a legal adviser as part of the official family. The beginning fee for providing this service was limited to $18.00 per quar- ter. J. D. Van Deman was the first of Delaware's distin- guished attorneys to serve Fidelity. Others who acted as the Association's legal counsel included W. J. Cone, James Lytle, C. H. McElroy, Edson Williams, Harry Crist, and James Blair. In 1965 Edward Flahive was named legal coun- sel and he still holds that position. Attorneys Van Deman and Crist each served several years as both Fidelity presi- dent and legal counsel, but without pay for the latter post. Other Delaware attorneys, on occasion, were called upon to represent Fidelity in specific legal matters. There is little doubt but that the Association's legal counselors played an important role in its 100 years of solving housing needs of thousands of people.

Description An account of the resource [page 29] [corresponds to unlabeled page 29 of Fidelity Federal Savings and Loan 100 Years] PROFILING RAY HINKLE The name of Ray D. Hinkle stands out prominently in Fidelity's history. He started a long and distinguished ca- reer at Fidelity on June 1, 1927 as bookkeeper. Very soon thereafter he was named cashier. When long-time secretary and manager, Frank S. Watkins, resigned in January of 1935, Hinkle was named to that position and he stayed on until re- signing on May 1, 1961. In 1930 he had been elected as a director and remained in that capacity for 34 years. During 1962-64 he served as vice president. Hinkle's career en- compassed such difficult years as those of the Great Depres- sion, the change from state to federal charter and World War II with its trying times. When Hinkle became secretary and manager in 1935 Fidelity's assets were recorded as $778,003. When retiring from that position in 1961, the as- sets were up to $2,184,300. His genuis for making safe loans and for protecting depositor's funds is legendary. Some of his passing recollections include his former boss telling a demanding customer, "Yes, we do have a board of directors, but I am boss." He recalled the time he complained to a supplier via mail because his six-month old order had not arrived - only to receive a terse three-word note stating, "Sorry as hell". Also the trials and tribula- tions of the Great Depression days when he made "house calls" in an effort to collect past due accounts such as the delinquent farmer who had promised to pay "When his wheat was threshed". After attending Ohio Wesleyan University for two years, Questa Williams came to Fidelity July 1, 1927 as the bookkeeper. In 1936 she was made cashier, a position she held until her retirement October 1, 1966. She served under five different secretary-managers for a total of 40 years, the longest tenure of any Fidelity employee. Secretary Ray Hin- kle, Questa's boss for many of those years, had this to say about her, "Questa was an excellent employee who did her job faithfully, year in and year out".

Description An account of the resource [page 30] [corresponds to unlabeled page 30 of Fidelity Federal Savings and Loan 100 Years] LOOKING AT ADVERTISEMENT When spread over a century, Fidelity's advertising has had to have an impact on its growth and visibility. Often large display ads were used to publicize anniversa- ries, dedications, grand openings, annual reports, and important events. Smaller ads, some done professionally, were used to highlight their ever increasing services as well as to urge people to be thrifty and save, preferably at Fidel- ity, of course. Even classified ads and direct mailings were found to be effective in making contacts. With the advent of radio and still later, cable TV, these new dimen- sions were put to use. Certain phrases and slogans, taken from advertising copy, have become Fidelity trademarks, such as: "Pin your future to thrift". "Not how big, but how strong". "Safety and service since 1887". "We're everything friends are for". "Always secured, now insured". In the 1950s a great deal of emphasis was given this phrase, "A local institution, conducted by local people, for the benefit of local people". The combination of media adver- tising and good will generated by satisfied customers has made and kept Fidelity a household name for these many years.

Their very first donations were made to the Delaware YMCA, long since defunct, and to the equally old Commercial Club, a service organization engrossed in beautifying the downtown area. There has been always a special interest in support- ing youth movements such as Junior Achievement, Dollars for Scholars, Boy Scouts of America, Junior Fair and Hayes High School band. Sports-wise, Fidelity has sponsored softball and bowling teams. Special need causes brought on by both World Wars were assisted monetarially. Regular support has been given to the Red Cross and the United Way and its predessors. Chamber of Commerce membership was always a must as was support of their projects. A sizeable donation once was made to help keep K & W Rubber Company in Delaware. Such diverse things ranging from the Soil Conservation Dis- trict all the way to Ohio Wesleyan University's Music Ren- aissance Project received Fidelity financial assistance. Perhaps one of Fidelity's advertising slogans says it best, "A local institution conducted by local people for the benefit of local people."

Similar games are O-Mok in Korea and the very ancient "Go" in China which dates back to 2256 B.C. Two persons may play Gomoku and the object is to get five marbles in a row in any direction while pre- venting your opponent from doing the same with his marbles. In Japan the game is played with black and white stones which are placed at the intersection of verti- cal and horizontal lines. However, we use marbles instead of stones and have drilled holes where the intersections of the lines would be. On this board, the stones or marbles can't slide around, but will remain where they are placed. [images of game] Board measures about one foot square with 13 rows of 13 holes.

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.

The adverse majorities on the forty-two amend- ments ranged from 109 to 1,850, in some townships reaching as high as 6 to 1. The liquor license clause lacked 124 votes of carry- ing (1,579 to 1,455), the woman suffrage amendment lost by 191 (2,098 to 1,907), the initiative and referendum by 1,071, abolition of capital punishment by 1,258. Home rule for cities lost heavily in the townships and in the city by 618 to 598. THE "WET" AND "DRY" VOTE. Delaware county went into the "dry" column October 1, 1908, and thirty days later fifteen Delaware saloons were closed. The county went "dry" by 2,147, and to this total the city contributed a "dry" majority of 528. No precincts except those in the Fourth ward went "wet," although Harlem township came within one vote of a tie. Precinct A of the First ward scored the most decisive "dry" victory, the proportion being 7 to 1. On the day of the local option election there were two arrests on charges of keeping saloons open and two for alleged illegal voting. The total vote cast was 6,539, 4,343 being "dry" and 2,196 "wet." Delaware county was the seven- teenth to vote under the Rose law. May 25, 1903, the city voted on the liquor question and went "wet" by a majority of 574, as against the "dry" majority which the city gave at the 1908 election. Before 1890 the city was "dry" for a period of a year, but in August, 1899, the "wets" won again and helf sawy until the 1908 election. At one time there were twenty-seven saloons in the county.

By act of the Ohio Legislature, February 10, 1808, Delaware county was created. Through the influence of Moses Byxby, special commissioners located the county seat here in March, 1808. Delaware was first incorporated as a village in 1816. That year thirty-two votes were polled, and in the winter of the first election a wood-chopper, standing on the barren Monnett Hall hill, looked over the surrounding valley and counted thirty-two houses. In four years these increased to fifty, and in 1823 there were sixty houses. At that time a Board of Trustees, elected by the people, man- aged the affairs of the village. This form of government continued until 1849, when the Legislature passed an act providing for a town council of eight members. This council chose from its ranks a Mayor, Recorder, Treasurer and Assessor. They also elected a mar- shall and a street committee of three. Up to 1857 the Mayor served without pay, except such legal fees as he received as a magistrate. In that year, however, the salary was fixed at $200. In 1863 this salary was cut in half. In 1854 councilmen were allowed $1 for each regular session and 50 cents for each special meeting. The marshal received $200 annually. In fact, at that time the marshal was a most important functionary. Besides representing the majesty of municipal law, he collected the taxes, cleaned the streets, had charge of the village market. Later it became the duty of council to appoint the marshal, and he served night and day for $2, exclusive of legal fees. In the early days city officials were much troubled with stray animals. Hogs, dogs and cows ran at large, greatly to the worry of the citizenry. Finally a dog and hog tax was levied in 1842, but the friends of the latter were too powerful, and the partially collected tax was refunded. But with the growth of the village the opposition grew stronger, and the hog, shorn of his liberty, cannot at this pro- gressive date be nurtured within the closely guarded precincts of the city. In 1821 James B. Weaver was the only school teacher in Dela- ware. He taught in a building on the site of present city hall. In a fit of passion he fatally injured a pupil, and although no prosecu- tion followed, the act broke up the school and drove the teacher from his profession and from the town. In 1873 Delaware advanced from village rank to the dignity of a city. The population was slightly more than 6,000. The city was divided into three wards, and later into five. There was a re-division in 1891, when six wards were created. There was another change in 1899, and finally the divisions were made in 1912 to include four wards, with a total of twelve precincts.

The new parcel post, operated by the United States govern- ment, went into effect January 1, 1913, the first package out of Dela- ware being a violin sent by J. W. Bonham to Melvin, Iowa. Seven- teen parcels were mailed from the local office the first day. Parcel post is a new way of sending packages, and there are three distinct- ively new features: 1. The postage you pay depends on the weight and the distance your package goes. Exception: Packages weighing four ounces or less are so small that they will be sent at the old flat rate of 1 cent an ounce everywhere. 2. You can now send packages weighing up to eleven pounds, instead of only four pounds. 3. You must use a new kind of stamp for parcels. Ordinary letter stamps are not good on these packages, and the new parcel post stamps are not good on other mail matter. "ZONE SYSTEM" EASY. The "zone system" is easy to understand. Just remember that whatever you may be, you are the center of the whole system. The accompanying parcel post map and table contain all the necessary references. Use them every day--they're valuable! SOME DON'TS. Don't use ordinary stamps; the distinctive parcel post stamps must be used. Don't seal your pacakge; wrap and tie it securely. Don't fail to put the sender's name on the outside of package. Don't forget to mark your package "Perishable" or "Fragile," if the contents are of that nature. PARCEL POST RATES. Parcels weighing four ounces or less are mailable at the rate of 1 cent for each ounce or fraction of an ounce, regardless of distance. Parcels weighing more than four ounces are mailable at the pound rate, as shown by the following table, and when mailed at this rate any fraction of a pound is considered a full pound: *1st Zones 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th Local Zone Zone Zone Zone Zone Zone Zone Zone Weight.

The zone rate for the first zone applies to packages sent between cities. 86 Title A name given to the resource The Delaware Ohio Blue Book (p. 90) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/431a32afb596eb56b67fd15611c5a81b.jpg 4db50a18d725240d7d4e9e23722491a1 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Now, the amount appor- tioned to the municipal funds by the Budget Commission under the Smith 1 per cent bill for 1912, with a levy of 3.35 mills on a dupli- cate of $8,730,035, shows receipts of only $29,245.62, making a de- crease in property tax revenues alone of $10,754.38. This, with the amount cut off by the loss of the bridge and Dow tax of $10,000 (estimated) will show an actual shortage in city revenues each year of $20,745.38, unless the Budget Commission increases the mill levy, or unless the real and personal tax duplicate is made greater than that of the year 1912. To make the same revenue as received for property taxes in 1911, the appraised valuation of the city should be placed at $12,000,000 (instead of $8,730,035), on which, with the levy of 3.35 mills, the amount received would equal $40,200, or $200 in excess of the amount received in 1911. 91 Title A name given to the resource The Delaware Ohio Blue Book (p. 95) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/0c35b1216193e7df7ae53eb25caf6a51.jpg ef875cb753b25dc19d4163e8b3193df0 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 99] [corresponds to page 95 of Delaware Blue Book] Scioto river starts in eastern Auglaize county. For sixty miles its course is eastward, but in Marion and Delaware counties it takes up a permanent southern course. It drains an area of 6,430 square miles. The Scioto travels down through Columbus, and a short dis- tance below Chillicothe the hills close in on both sides and the re- mainder of the river's course is through a deep valley, bordered by hills 400 feet or more in height. From Here to There in Rhyme. Here's a distance table in rhyme. If you live in Delaware and want to know how many miles you are from a neighboring village, or if you live in the rural districts and want to know the distance to the county seat, just take a glance: From Hyattville to Delaware it's six good miles they say; At least that's what a witness draws in travel fees one way. But if you are from Ashley, you've ten and half to travel, While an Olive Green man, on foot or horse, full thirteen must un- ravel. It's just six miles from Bellpoint, when walking's good or ill; Galena twelve and Powell ten, nineteen from Centerville. With eight small miles behind him, the Lewis Center man would be here; A Kilbourne man requires two less, or a half dozen in the clear. From Leonardsburg it's six and a half, from Rome it's past half twenty; From Radnor it's a lovely eight, and Stratford three--that's plenty. A Cheshire man has eleven big miles of road on which to hike it; A Harlemite but sweet sixteen, and most the way could pike it. A long, lean man from Warrensburg could reach here in an hour, For with just six miles to travel, he doesn't need much power. An Ostrander man counts nine short miles before we chance to greet him, A White Sulphur man goes half a dozen miles ere he gets where we can meet him. Rathbone's busy pilgrims live just twelve miles from the hub; And Norton farmers, when in town, drive nine full miles for grub; And it's not because they're stingy that they drive home for a meal; 'Most any restaurant habitue knows exactly how they feel. Now Sunbury town and Delaware have a dozen miles between; And a Condit man can reach this town by pacing off eighteen. To Berkshire, too, upon my word, it's just nine miles, they say; While "wet" Columbus, twenty-four, is down hill all the way. 95 Title A name given to the resource The Delaware Ohio Blue Book (p. 99) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/ec1800ad60079450fa59521619acaf1b.jpg 362b4209ebccbb98cc628ee7408e9c25 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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.

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

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

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

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

The Delaware city schools, serving about 3700 pupils, rank in the top 25 percent in Ohio in enrollment and per pupil wealth. Its 33.9 mill school tax comes just above the state median and includes a building levy which has permitted the system to make additions to buildings and improve older facilities without additional indebtedness. Last bond issue was in 1960 for the Rutherford B. Hayes High School, and, pending additional bonding for needed high school improvements, that debt will be paid by 1980. A four-quarter curriculum at the high school level, initiated in 1972 as the "Delaware Plan", is drawing national attention and inquiries. It allows for four 45-day terms and an optional summer term, giving students and their families the choice of year-round school or mid-year breaks if scheduled ahead. At the middle school level (grades 6 to 8) team teaching, with "executive teachers" assisted by teacher interns, has been in effect for several years. A high percentage of entering children take advantage of the six-week pre-kindergarten summer program, operated without tuition and fully funded locally. Delaware was among the first school systems in the state to offer a full program for the mentally impaired and also provides special classes for the neurologically handicapped. Deaf, blind, and crippled children attend special classes in Columbus as tuition students. The seven buildings in the system are staffed by 198 professional persons, more than [photo] HAYES HIGH SCHOOL [photo] BEEGHLY LIBRARY, O.W.U.

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

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

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

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

Cin- cinnati, Cleveland, and the Blossom Center Summer Festival (for music and ballet) are also less than three hours away. Drama buffs have the opportunity to see "live theater" from Shakespeare through the avant garde at the high schools and in OWU's $1.5 million new Chappelear Drama Center, dedicated in 1972. Its two theaters provide for staging in both conventional and arena settings, and extensive storage areas hold the many props and costumes. In recent summers, a "Town and Gown" season of light plays for family entertainment has been offered, with townspeople and area youth joining college students in the casts. Children's plays are also presented during the school year. Hayes High School annually presents musical productions which draw capacity crowds. Each summer the Kenley Players present nationally-known artists in professional musical productions at Columbus' Veterans Memorial Auditorium, and other college productions are within easy driving time at Ohio State, Otterbein and Denison Univer- sities.

Delaware fits the picture. Distances aren't far; bicycles are a popular form of transportation for adults as well as children and college students. Parking even downtown is no big problem, and the faces are generally friendly. But the services any community needs most are available. Thirty-four voluntary and governmental agencies offer a variety of health and welfare services to all citizens of the county. The United Way provides funding for 12 of these agencies and planning for all services for people with problems. Included in the helping services is the Red Cross, which annually touches more than 8,000 county residents in everything from free blood, available to all Delaware County residents any place in the U.S. or Canada, to one of the country's better boat safety instruction programs. The troubled can get help through the Mental Health Clinic, the Alcohol Council, AA, and Help Anonymous, the handicapped through the Speech and Hearing Center and the Council for the Mentally Retarded; and the underprivileged through the Dental Fund. The Salvation Army offers a summer camping program reaching more than 900 low-income mid-Ohio children. The Cancer Society and Heart Fund have local offices. Interests of special groups -- senior citizens, neighborhood center, scouting -- are available in the county. Outlets for developing skills or pursuing hobbies are also provided. The musically inclined have a choice between vocal and instrumental. For several years the professionally-directed Community Chorus, with weekly rehearsals open to the public without audition, has prepared and presented demanding concert works at Christmas and Easter. More recently, even rusty former band members have been encouraged to join the summer Recreation Band to play bi-weekly open-air concerts on the Courthouse lawn. The Recreation Department also offers a wide variety of summer athletic and play- ground programs, and during the rest of the year uses public school classrooms for evening courses from bridge and exercise to furniture refinishing at nominal fees. Services of the Delaware County District Library extend far beyond its downtown brick building housing 61,000 volumes. The community's youngest learn the joys of reading through weekly story hours, and the Bookmobile covers almost 4,000 county miles a year serving outlying areas. Its collections include more than 100 magazine subscrip- tions, records, films and items of local history and genealogy.

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

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

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

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

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Agriculture Laboratories north of town seek new knowledge in tree and plant development, insect and disease research, and pest control, while south of town, astronomers at Perkins Observatory scan the skies. In industrial labs, scientists are working in a variety of areas from telecommunications advances to medical and diagnostic agents. At the Paul H. Henson Research Center, more than 400 scientists and technicians are involved in research and development in telecommunications for govern- ment and industrial use. It is one of two main centers of such research for North Electric; a smaller one is in Columbus. The USDA installation near the Delaware Reservoir almost tripled in size with a 1970 expansion and now totals 39,000 square feet with thirty labs plus greenhouses. There, forest service specialists work with insect and disease prevention and as northeastern field office for State and Private Forestry, offer guidance to land managers in Ohio and surrounding states. Agricultural research scientists are particularly pursuing genetic improvement of trees and plants for urban growing conditions.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Three of their people became members of our Board: H. C. Roberts, their president; Joseph W. Buckingham, their cashier, and the late Hoyt G. Whitney, one of their directors.

The present rate for some years has been five percent. During 1966 the Bank established and put into operation a pen- sion trust and plan for all employees providing not only retirement in- come but also disability income and major medical expense benfits for medical obligations not covered by the regular medical and hospi- tal insurance carrier. More growth and expansion took place in 1967 when the Super- intendent of Banks of Ohio and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corpora- tion approved the merger of The Ostrander Banking Company into The Delaware County Bank resulting in the addition of three more directors to The Delaware County Bank board.

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

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

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