PREFACE
This booklet was published by the American
Association of University Women, Delaware Branch,
Delaware, Ohio, to give recognition to a few of the
women who have performed services to Delaware
County or have had an interesting profession or vo-
cation.
A WAY TO LIVE
We must not measure life by years,
but measure it in laughs and tears.
Measure life by the love we had,
and all the things that made us glad.
Measure happiness derived from giving.
A short life may be long with living.
-Lois Lehner

SUSANNAH MACOMBER THOMAS (1837-1813) Concord Twp.
Sometime after her marriage in 1858, the
family and dog made a trip to Kansas in
a covered wagon to look for land for home-

stopped blowing, they returned to Ohio.
On the way back, they were stopped by a
band of Union Cavalrymen. When Susie
stood on the seat of the wagon and shouted,
"Hurrah for Lincoln and the Union." the men
saluted and rode off. Anyone in need of
love and comfort was welcome in her home.
Many times when the snow was deep and
little children were walking home from

poor family with warm mittens for the
little ones which she knit as she read her
Bible.

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

member of the regular school. 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

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

more exposure and danger in traveling over the
tractless wilds, in the night and in all sorts of
weather, and confronted by the wild animals
and the Indians, than was anyone else there.
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-

tised field of attraction, Berkshire, in 1810 or
1812, from what place is not known, and about
whom traditional history fails to tell anything.
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

and was for a time the only doctor in the area
besides Dr. Lamb.
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-

entific subjects, other than those pertaining to
medicine. 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.

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". After
100 years of serving the home-minded people of Delaware

City and County, it may be truthfully said that Fidelity has
lived up to the fullest meaning of its name and obligation.
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. This

Company is organized on the perpetual plan and persons may
become members at the beginning of any month without the
payment of back dues and shall be entitled to earnings from
the time they become members."
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.

Van Deman was still president and solictor in 1898.
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.
Authorized capital throughout those ten years was
$1,000,000, however, capital stock in force fluctuated

from $237,000 in 1906 to $225,000 in 1908. 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%. For the three
years 1910-11-12 borrowing members numbered 225-233-257;

non-borrowing members added up to 137-135-147 and non-
borrowing depositors totaled 373-473-613. 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. Both

dividend and interest rates on deposits were at the 4% or 5%
level. 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.

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%".

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.

WORLD WAR II AND AFTER YEARS
1940-1950
The 1940s were difficult years because of WWII and
the aftermath. 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

visitations by board members to other savings and loan offices
to study and observe their techniques. 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.

Likewise the cashier's salary was raised from $1,920 in 1950
to $3,600 in 1959. 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. Also, Saturday

afternoon office hours were replaced by staying open on Fri-
day nights. 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. At this time the

Association had a membership of 1,300 investors (savers).
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. On February 22, 1967
the Ohio Savings and Loan League had conducted a tree-
planting ceremony and a plaque dedication commemorating

that event at Delaware County Fairgrounds. 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. Nearly 200 loans were processed and

the net increase in savings accounts reached nearly the fig-
ure of $1,500,000. 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. New depositors were given

silver ice cream scoops. 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-

bined efforts and talents of manager, Edward Planisek and
his staff and of president, A. 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."

Other things happened in 1977. 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.

HIGHLIGHTING THE EIGHTIES
1980-1986
In 1980 a revised sick leave plan was adopted. 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. Thomas Ivory was employed as assistant treasurer
and Ed Madison was engaged to appraise for second mort-

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

100th anniversary celebration. 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.

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-

ings accounts; evaluate monthly financial reports and hire
employees and set their salaries. 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.

PINPOINTING THE PRESIDENTS
The founding president was B. W. Brown. 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.

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".

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.

FIDELITY AND THE COMMUNITY
Fidelity has always been community minded. 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."

a smaller block on top of a larger one and move only
block at a time. One individual studies this out alone.
Each of the seven blocks is a different hardwood. Base is 3 x 9
inches. Puzzle is sent flat to prevent breakage. Just put the
pegs into holes in the base.

Adi Board
Adi, an ancient game for two persons,
is played on the African Gold Coast
today just as it has been for hundreds
of years. Indoors people play Adi on
game boards carved from wood, but when
outside, they dig holes in the ground
and use Adi seeds from the Aditi bushes
as counters.
Adi is one of an ancient family of games
played in Africa, Asia and the islands
of the Pacific. The histories and in-
structions for these games may be found
in the book "Count and Capture" which
we give with each Adi Board.
[image of people playing the game]
[image of the game]
We suggest that you try Adi first because it is
easy to learn from written instructions and can
be played by children as young as 6 or 7.
Adi Board is a solid block of thick black walnut
or cherry lumber with a warm natural finish and
will last for generations. It measures 6 x 23 inches.
Marbles and "Count and Capture" book included.
Postpaid: $5.00
Additional copies of "Count and Capture" book may be
obtained from Cooperative Recreation Service, Inc.,
Delaware, Ohio at 50? each.

Bonum Board Scoop Golf
This is now a combination paddle on which one may
play two games.
Bonum Board apparently originated in the United States
around 1880, when the paddles were decorated by wood
burning. Bonum Board is easy to learn, just catch the
ball in the holes with the highest scores. One person
may play alone or a small group may take turns to see
who gets the most points.
[photos of game]
Scoop Golf is on the reverse side. Play golf
rules for LOW score. Count the number of
tosses required to catch ball in hole number
1, then try for hole number 2, and on around
the "course" of nine holes.
Paddles are 14 inches long, made of 3-ply hard-
wood board, have cherry or walnut handles and
hard maple balls. Green numbers are printed on
both sides of paddles.

Gomoku
The Japanese game of Gomoku or Gomoku-Narabe is
centuries old. 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.
Marbles and instructions are
included.

My soul He doth restore again;
And me to walk doth make
Within the paths of righteousness,
E'en for His own name's sake.
Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale,
Yet will I fear no ill:
For Thou art with me, and Thy rod
And staff me comfort still.
My table Thou has furnished
In presence of my foes;
My head Thou dost with oil anoint,
And my cup overflows.
Goodness and mercy all my life

And in God's house for evermore
My dwelling place shall be.

THE SCRIPTURE LESSON -- Dean Van Bogard Dunn, B.D., Ph.D., D.D.
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.

O God, who through thy Holy Spirit dost illumine the minds and sanctify the
lives of those whom thou does call to the work of pastors and teachers; look with
favor upon all schools for the instruction and discipline of those who are to serve
in the sacred ministry of thy Church. Bless those who teach and those who learn,
that they may apply themselves with such diligence to the knowledge which is able
to make men wise unto salvation, and submit themselves with such ready obedience
to the law of thy Son our Savior, that they may fulfill their ministry with joy;

ALMA MATER
Oh, we love the Black-eyed Susan,
Tho' humble flow'r it be.
And we often make allusion
To that flow'r whose charms we see!
For fond mem'ries it will kindle,
Nor honor shall it lack--
For it stands as nature's symbol
Of the Orange and the Black.
WILLIS MARCHING SONG
Words and Music by Elizabeth Ann Dunlap
Willis High, Willis High, now as we march along,
We sing together loud and clear, this marching song:
March on, oh Willis High, we love you best;
And we will always honor you; you stand above the rest
March on, oh Willis High, we're standing by--
In vict'ry or defeat we'll cheer, for dear old Willis High!

Delaware Street Directory.
The dividing line between streets east and west in Delaware is
Sandusky street, and between streets north and south is William
street. William street was designed as the main thoroughfare of the

old Sandusky trail, from Columbus to the lakes, made Sandusky the

September 3, 1912. 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.

DELAWARE FROM 1808 TO 1913.
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. It is interesting to note the

WALK-OVER
SHOES
The Walk-Over Way
"Never mind what size the customer wears,
sell him what he ought to wear."
That's the WALK-OVER method and we
always try to carry it out.
However, if you insist on something that
doesn't fit you we'll sell it to you--politely but
regretfully.
But to get your full money's worth you
ought to buy WALK-OVER shoes fitted the
WALK-OVER way.
"Walk-Over" Prices $3.50 to $6.00.
The Walk-Over Shop
Hotel Donavin Corner. Delaware, Ohio.

Delaware and the Parcel Post.
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

*The local rate in the first zone applies to parcels sent by a city man
to someone in the same city, or on a rural route starting out of that city,
and also to parcels sent by someone on a rural route to someone on the
same rural route, or to the city from which that route starts, or to some-
one on another route starting out of the same city. The zone rate for the
first zone applies to packages sent between cities.

COMPARATIVE STATEMENT.

Total expenditures......................... 43,033.68

Total receipts............................. $53,362.03
Total expenditures......................... 52,882.28
1912--
Total receipts............................. $32,763.27
Total expenditures......................... 50,897.20
The amount levied in 1911 under the old law, based on a levy
of 10 mills on a duplicate of the real and personal property tax of
$4,000,000, showed in receipts $40,000. 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.

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.

Who more than self their country loved, Thine alabaster cities gleam
And mercy more than life. Undim'd by human tears.

Mr. Ervin F. 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.

INTRODUCTION
[photo of farmland and downtown area]
The small-town flavor remains
but the pace is quickening as
Delaware, Ohio, meets the chal-
lenges of the fastest growth in its
165-year history.
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.

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 CITY...
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

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.

EDUCATION
Educational opportunities in the Delaware
area run the full range from pre-kindergarten
through graduate school, with city and county
public schools, a parochial school, a vocational
school and a school for retarded children under
construction, a sheltered workshop for adult
retarded in the county, Ohio Wesleyan Univer-
sity and The Methodist Theological School 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

half with ten years or more experience, and
more than 25 percent with master's degrees.
About half of Delaware's high school graduates
go on to college.
St. Mary's School, adjoining the Catholic
Church in downtown Delaware, serves 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.

RELIGIOUS LIFE
The Delaware area's more than seventy
churches offer opporunities for worship and
service to members of almost all Protestant
denominations, and at St. Mary's Catholic
Church, elementary school classes as well. 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.

Delaware citizens have medical services and

million addition to Grady Memorial Hospital.
The hospital, which now has 130 beds and
provides full maternity and coronary care,

available outpatient care. The addition, to be
completed in 1975, is being made possible by a

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.

SPECIAL EVENTS
The excitement of a horse race and that
of a stimulating lecturer or gifted artist's
performance may be very different, but both
are part of the Delaware scene.
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.

In addition, there are numerous recitals
and concerts by area and university music
organizations, many with no admission fee.
Nearby Columbus also offers musical
events including symphony concerts, appear-
ances by Broadway touring companies and
the appearances of virtually all contemporary
musical performers on national tour. 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.

COMMUNITY LIFE
AND HOUSING
[photo of musician playing the saxophone]
Recent studies have shown people consider small
cities -- 15,000 to 40,000 -- the best places to rear
families: big enough for adequate city services but
without metropolitan headaches.
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.
Providing newspaper coverage of Dela-
ware and the surrounding area is the daily
Delaware Gazette, founded in 1818 and

of the Columbus and Cleveland papers, and
other major city papers are available through
newsstands. Local radio stations are WDLR,
WRFD, and WBBY. During the school year,
Ohio Wesleyan station WSLN-FM also broad-
casts. All Columbus metropolitan radio, three
network television stations and one UHF
station, WOSU, operated by Ohio State, offer
excellent reception. A cable television fran-
chise has been granted and, when operational,
will bring in other TV stations and provide
local educational programming.
Many international and national service,
community and patriotic organizations are
active in Delaware, including Kiwanis, Rotary,
Lions, Jaycees, Sertoma, Altrusa, National
Association of Secretaries, AAUW, League of
Women Voters, and Business and Professional
Women. Veterans' groups include the Ameri-
can Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars,
Amvets, Veterans of WWI and their auxil-
iaries. The DAR, Colonial Dames and the
Daughters of Union Veterans also have local
clubs. A file of all civic, social and service
clubs in the county is available in the United
Way office.

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

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

series of inter-connected limestone caves 55
to 105 feet below ground, once used by the
Wyandot Indians. Regular guided cave tours
are operated daily during the summer, and an
Indian town and frontier village have been
reconstructed.
Fans of collegiate sports get ample
opportunity to see teams in action. Ohio
Wesleyan's "Battling Bishops" play at least
four home football games each year at Selby
Stadium, meeting fellow members of the Ohio
Athletic Conference. Hayes High School, a
member of the Capital Conference, plays at
Gauthier Field adjoining the high school.
Buckeye Valley, Olentangy and Big Walnut all
play attractive schedules. The Ohio State
University "Buckeyes", always at or near the
top of the ratings, play home games nearby in
the massive 80,000-seat Ohio Stadium. In
recent years exhibition pro football games
have also been scheduled for Ohio Stadium in
addition to the regular season play in
Cleveland and Cincinnati, easily accessible via
Interstate 71.
Ohio Wesleyan plays all its home
basketball games in Edwards Gymnasium, to
be improved and remodeled as part of the
college's proposed Branch Rickey Physical
Education Center, to be named for the
famous OWU alumnus. St. John Arena, home
of the Ohio State basketball team, offers
university division basketball and serves as the
site for State High School Championships in
March each year.
Both Ohio Wesleyan and Hayes High
School also have varsity swimming teams
which use Pfeiffer Natatorium on the OWU
campus. Each has home meets open to those
interested in watching competitive swimming.
Hayes and OWU baseball teams partici-
pate with teams in their respective leagues,
and summer softball competition is available
for juvenile and adult players. Tennis also is
drawing more and more players to city,
university and subdivision courts.
Even fans of soccer and lacrosse get a
chance to see intercollegiate games, as those
are two of the twelve sports in which OWU
competes. Snow skiing (weather permitting) is
less than two hours away with trails at
Bellefontaine and near Mansfield which
attract many Delaware residents. Some
Delaware families belong to the Columbus
chapter of the AYH (American Youth
Hostel), which has a complete schedule of
year-round athletic activities including hiking,
cross-country skiing, and canoeing on the
Olentangy River.

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

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

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.

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

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. Good-
ing, General Manager, Delaware Farmers Exchange Assocation;
Vice President - Milton L. Havens, implement dealer; Secretary -

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.

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.

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.

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.

EXPANSION OF FIRST FLOOR - 1953
In 1958 the negotiations and transactions leading to the pur-
chase of The Peoples Building by The Delaware County Bank were
completed and the name of the building was changed to The Delaware
County Bank Building.
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.

of Directors then unanimously chose Alfred B. Wise as the president
of the Bank.

Starting in mid-1963 a complete renovation of the principal
banking office was started. For several months the business affairs
of the Bank were carried on from the basement level of the building
called at that time the "bargain basement". Remodeling was finished
in early 1964, the main office being re-opened with a ribbon-cutting
ceremony, the "ribbons" being a long strand of dollar bills taped to-
gether.

New furnishings, offices, equipment, carpeting, paneling and
lighting along with a new vault were the features of the remodeling
which also included a brand new front entrance. The Bank's decorator,
Mrs. Ruth B. Firestone, commissioned Richard A. Wengenroth, Asso-
ciate Professor of Fine Arts, Ohio Wesleyan University, to create four
distinctive mural depicting not only the four seasons of the year but
also the four main areas of community interest: religion, education,
agriculture and the County Fair. These murals, as you know, are
found behidn the tellers' stsations in the lobby of the Bank.

As part of the remodeling the outside of the Bank was faced
with Italian marble. New side doors and a new side entrance was
built and a walk-in window for after hours' banking transactions was
put into operation to offer banking services from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00
p.m. A 24-hour depository was re-established.

The first county branch of The Delaware County Bank was es-
tablished in Galena, Ohio in 1965 following approval by the Superin-
tendent of Banks in Ohio and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corpora-
tion to merge with The Bank of Galena Company into The Delaware County
Bank. 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.

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

OSTRANDER OFFICE
By 1968 the use of computers for bank operations had become
wide spread and The Delaware County Bank, through Financial Com-
puter Services, Inc., Fremont, Ohio, computerized its demand deposits.
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. The construction of a new facility which was

completed in February of 1970 has provided not only parking service
but three drive-in lanes and two walk-in windows to speed up customer
service.
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-

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.
