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.

In those dear old days of high school Drinking at that mystic spring, Where we lived by gong and schedule, In school-life's enchanted ring, Clinging to our alma mater, We shielded from attack, The banner of our colors, Of "The Orange and the Black". When we've won our senior laurals, And our high school days are o'er, a yearning swells within us, For the bell we hear no more, When life's cares will have enthralled us, Our hears will wander back To the days when that bell called us, To the "Orange and the Black". -Hazel McCreary ALMA MATER SONG Where'er you go, There you may know Mem'ries of High School will stand; Thoughts of her fame, Love of her name, Will thrill you in ev'ry land; Honor unstained, Fair play proclaimed, Symbolizes our band.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Racing fever soars each September with the opening of the Delaware County Fair, the only county fair in the world to offer Grand Circuit Harness Racing. The one-half mile dirt track on the fairgrounds was designed by a local long-time resident, R.K. McNamara, and is among the fastest in the country. New records are set each year. The highlight of the four days of racing is the running of the Little Brown Jug, one of the nation's top three harness races with a purse of $150,000. Named for an outstanding pacer of an earlier day, the "Jug" regulary draws crowds of more than 40,000 from all over the United States and Canada. An annual August attraction is the Ohio State Fair, one of the nation's biggest. Each year outstanding performers and exhibitors take part in shows that bring thousands of visitors to the fairgrounds just off Interstate 71 in northern Columbus. Throughout the year its buildings host antique shows, flower shows, automobile displays, ethnic celebrations such as Oktoberfest and professional craft shows like Winterfare. Each spring Delaware holds its own crafts show, the Delaware Arts Fair. Craftsmen come from all over the state to display their work before appreciative crowds lining Sandusky and Winter Streets. For those who love classical music, Ohio Wesleyan's Lecture-Artist Series brings noted concert- artists to Gray Chapel Auditorium each year. In addition, there are numerous recitals and concerts by local musicians, many with no admission fee. For fans of contemporary music, the OWU major attractions brings at least three big name shows to Delaware each year. Newsworthy public figures also appear in Delaware as a part of the Lecture-Artist Series and other special events on campus. Theatre buffs may see productions ranging from Shakespeare to the avant garde at Ohio Wesleyan's new Chappelear Drama Center on its proscenium and arena stages. In recent summers, a town and gown season for family entertainment has been produced with townspeople of all ages in the casts. Area high schools have excellent music and theatre programs. Marching bands, choirs and large- cast musicals draw capacity crowds throughout the year in Delaware, high school students have formed a company called Sneaker Theatre which produces plays for children. Columbus, of course, schedules symphony concerts, Broadway touring companies and virtually all contemporary musical performers on national tour. The Cincinnati and Cleveland Orchestras and the Blossom Center Summer Festival (for music and ballet) are only two hours away. Each summer the Kenley Players present nationally- known artists in musical productions at Columbus' Veterans Memorial Auditorium. Other colleges theatre and musical productions are close by at Ohio State, Otterbein and Denison Universities. 12 Title A name given to the resource Welcome to Delaware, Ohio (1979) (p. 15) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/244365165a8d7edb16aea549dc9807a5.jpg 5edeed974def62c12dc114e0dfb7d143 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Today over 50 manufacturers and processors range from racing sulkies to school buses. Industrial development took on new impetus in 1963 with the opening of the Industrial Park on the city's southwestern edge. Convenience of the Delaware Municipal Airport, with runways capable of handling company jets, was one attraction. The proximity of Port Columbus International Airport (one-half hour driving time) fulfills broader company transportation needs. By 1978, the Industrial Park had as occupants: PPG Industries, manufacturers of industrial and automotive coatings; Nippert Company, copper components; Trus Joist, roof and floor supports; Corco, Division of Western Kraft Paper, corrugated boxes; and Grumman Flxible Corporation, buses. About 275 acres remain for development in the Industrial Park. Center 42 has approximately 150 acres available for light manufacturers. Other industries in Delaware are: Ranco, producing automatic controls; J.G. Castings Operations, division of Dresser Industries, Inc., foundry equipment; Delo Screw Products; Sunray Stove Company, Glenwood Range Division of Caloric Corp. -- A Raytheon Company; Pennwalt Corporation, chemical specialties; Correct Manufacturing Corporation, producers of DIVCO Trucks and Sky-Workers; and Abex Corporation -- Denison Division, hydraulic pumps and motors.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

Alum Creek Res- ervoir, to be completed in 1973, will be approximately ten miles in length thus providing four watershed lakes in Delaware County. A fifth reser- voir is in the planning phase. When completed, Delaware will have the greatest collection of watershed lakes within any county in Ohio. The city also has a nine-hole par 3 golf course within the city limits and a county fairground swimming pool. Six additional golf courses are avail- able in the area, including one private country club. Formed millions of years ago by the tremendous force of an under- ground river cutting through solid limestone rock, the Olentangy Indian Caverns offer an exciting excursion into ancient Indian lore with a maze of beautiful winding passages and spacious underground rooms.

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

Case Hospital Building Campaign] A Community Need THIS COMMUNITY'S GREATEST PRESENT NEED is more hospital facilities. For more than a year the Hospital's Board of Trustees and Medical Staff have been work- ing toward a program intended to correct this condition. The recently announced campaign to provide $600,000 with which to construct a new wing and rehabilitate portions of the present building is the result of their study and effort. Today, beds are in space never intended for patient use. Private rooms have been converted into two-bed and three-bed wards. With 60 beds crowded into our 30 bed Hospital, further expansion to accommodate the increasing number who seek admittance is impossible. Patients are requested to remain no longer than absolutely necessary. Frequently they are urged by the Hospital Staff and their Physicians to leave before they wish to return to their homes, that others in greater need of service may be admitted. The Hospital has no accommodations for long term convalescents, or the infirm who wish to remain for extended periods of time. This is a COMMUNITY PROBLEM in which everyone has a common responsibility. It affects the individual, the members of the family and his neighbors. Firms and corpora- tions likewise, must assume an equitable share of the objective, justifying their participa- tion by the axiom that good health and high production go hand in hand.

Case Hospital Building Campaign] The Medical Staff THE MEDICAL PROFESSION has long recognized the shortage of local hospital facilities as a menace to public health. In a recent staff meeting they approved the proposed plans and procedures for expanding the Hospital to more nearly meet the health needs of the community. Successful practice of the healing arts today, more than ever before, imposes upon the physician demands far beyond his individual capacity to meet. Higher incomes and health insurance have made hospital care possible for added thousands and, they expect and should have this service. Like the rest of their fellow citizens, physicians and dentists are human. They are husbands, parents, neighbors and friends. They enjoy the blessings and share the respon- sibilities that come from living in a good community. They, too, are prey to ills which must be fought with every weapon in the aresenal of scientific knowledge. The physician has a powerful ally in the modern hospital. By making it possible for the gravely ill and the victims of serious accidents, who are his patients, to be in one place close to diagnostic, mechanical and therapeutic facilities and under his continuous supervision, the hospital contributes greatly to the restoration of the afflicted to the blessings of health. If, as we know, the profession of healing has made greater progress in the first half of the Twentieth Century than in all the years of prior history it is because of discoveries in science and technology. The physician is always first to give credit to the modern hospital for its contribution to the progress. Likewise, he is always among the first to support the cause of building adequately to meet the health needs of the community. [photo of surgeon] Title A name given to the resource The Jane M.

Case Hospital Building Campaign] Is Expansion Necessary OUR HOSPITAL SITUATION is so desperate it is sometimes necessary to request ambulance owners to take accident victims elsewhere because there are no emergency beds available. Chronic sufferers are frequently asked to delay entrance to give priority to acute cases of illness that must have immediate attention. Imagine the terror that grips the hearts of the sick and injured when told-- "Sorry, there are no beds available!" Much of our equipment and facilities are rapidly approaching obsolescence. We need a new and larger Surgery. Our Maternity Department is unsatisfactory. X-Ray and Laboratory rooms are too small for effective work. The Dietary Department, now in the basement of the Nurses Residence, will be located in the new building where receiving and the preparation and serving of food can be handled effectively. Supervision, likewise, will have a central location which will contribute much to efficiency throughout the institution. The intensive service area of the Hospital embraces a poulation of approximately 25,000. On the basis of recognized hospital bed requirements- 4.5 beds per 1,000 popu- lation--our need is 112 beds. The plans projected on the following pages, leaving the 4th floor a shell for the present, pro- vides 75 beds with a maximum capacity of 97 possible. If, through the generous response of our citizens, the 4th floor can be finished now, we will have a 106 bed hospital with a maxi- mum capacity of 133 beds. to save your life!

Case Hospital Building Campaign] Community Support OUR CITIZENS are of one mind regarding the need for expanding the physical facilities of our hospital. There must also be unanimous financial support, individual and corporate, if we are to achieve our objective. The Jane M. Case Hospital has served our people for 50 years. It was built and equipped by others. Now, it is our responsibility to build for the next 50 years to provide adequately for ourselves and those who will follow us. This is truly a "Once in a Life Time Opportunity." One thing is certain, wishful thinking will never provide an adequate hospital for this community. No one can without his fair share hoping a generous neighbor will give enough to make unnecessary his full and equitable participation. $600,000 is a challenging goal, but entirely possible of attainment when measured by the economy of Delaware County. A gift to the Jane M. Case Hospital Building Fund is a deductible item when computing corporate and personal Income Tax returns. Those who are in a position to give stock in payment of their gifts are urged to consult their attorney, or tax specialist to determine the advantage they may realize in this plan of paying their contribution. Gifts may be paid monthly, quar- terly, semi-annually, or annually over a period of 36 months. Special pay- ment plans may be arranged to meet the convenience of donors.

Case Hospital Building Campaign] Names That Will Live LONG after inscriptions on stone and bronze are worn thin--hospital memorials will live in men's minds because they represent service to suffering mankind. Truly they are a breath of immortality. There is no better way to honor the memory of a loved one, perpetuate the name of a firm, a fellow employee, a fraternal group, or to place one's name favorably before his fellowman, than through a hospital memorial which will carry on the ideal of service above self. On the following pages many opportunities are offered for lasting memorials. In addition to room memorials, equipment memorials are also available. You may make your choice from the floor plans and lists in this booklet. When you have made your selection, your memorial designation will be recorded pending the completion of the build- ing when suitable plaques will be provided. "I expect to pass through this world but once, any good thing therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me not defer or neglect it--for I shall not pass this way again."

Case Hospital Building Campaign] [photo of nurse, baby, and mother] Why Do We Build AN ENLARGED HOSPITAL with a new Surgery, a modern Maternity Department, adequate Pediatric facilities and other equipment that will contribute to better health care, is not a move to "keep up with the Joneses." Like the cities that have built, and those that will do so in the near future, we are attempting to meet demands created by population growth and the attitude of a public educated to the advantages of hospital service. Firms and individuals provide the capital needs of voluntary hospitals because of (a) SENTIMENT - that humanitarian desire to care for mothers and their babies, restore cripped children to health, provide comfort for the aged, protect employees and their families and serve the health interests of the whole community. (b) REASON - the knowledge that hospitals are a mighty factor in the advancement of preventive and curative medicine; their influence on the economy of the community, and because they represent a heritage the present generation recognizes it owes to the one that follows.

Case Hospital Building Campaign] Good Reasons for Giving A HOSPITAL is far more than stone, mortar, bricks, beds and bassinets. It is the embodiment of hope, achievement, faith and courage. Nothing you have ever done-- nothing you will ever do--will equal in human value and personal satisfaction your investment in lengthening the life and strengthening the living of your fellow man. Today's donors are making an investment in--"Better Life, for Life." To the employer--health and wealth go hand-in-hand. A healthy working force means less absenteeism, more production, greater profit. Accepting your fair share of the objective will guarantee adequate hospital facilities for you, your family, your employees and their families. To the employee--a quick recovery from accident or illness can certainly mean added dollars in your pocket. Your pledge of Fair Share support is vital to the hospital needs of our community, to you, and to your family. To the citizens of this area--an adequate hospital is your guarantee of the protection you and your family deserve. Give your Fair Share.

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

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

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

Now, the amount appor- tioned to the municipal funds by the Budget Commission under the Smith 1 per cent bill for 1912, with a levy of 3.35 mills on a dupli- cate of $8,730,035, shows receipts of only $29,245.62, making a de- crease in property tax revenues alone of $10,754.38. This, with the amount cut off by the loss of the bridge and Dow tax of $10,000 (estimated) will show an actual shortage in city revenues each year of $20,745.38, unless the Budget Commission increases the mill levy, or unless the real and personal tax duplicate is made greater than that of the year 1912. To make the same revenue as received for property taxes in 1911, the appraised valuation of the city should be placed at $12,000,000 (instead of $8,730,035), on which, with the levy of 3.35 mills, the amount received would equal $40,200, or $200 in excess of the amount received in 1911. 91 Title A name given to the resource The Delaware Ohio Blue Book (p. 95) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/0c35b1216193e7df7ae53eb25caf6a51.jpg ef875cb753b25dc19d4163e8b3193df0 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 99] [corresponds to page 95 of Delaware Blue Book] Scioto river starts in eastern Auglaize county. For sixty miles its course is eastward, but in Marion and Delaware counties it takes up a permanent southern course. It drains an area of 6,430 square miles. The Scioto travels down through Columbus, and a short dis- tance below Chillicothe the hills close in on both sides and the re- mainder of the river's course is through a deep valley, bordered by hills 400 feet or more in height. From Here to There in Rhyme. Here's a distance table in rhyme. If you live in Delaware and want to know how many miles you are from a neighboring village, or if you live in the rural districts and want to know the distance to the county seat, just take a glance: From Hyattville to Delaware it's six good miles they say; At least that's what a witness draws in travel fees one way. But if you are from Ashley, you've ten and half to travel, While an Olive Green man, on foot or horse, full thirteen must un- ravel. It's just six miles from Bellpoint, when walking's good or ill; Galena twelve and Powell ten, nineteen from Centerville. With eight small miles behind him, the Lewis Center man would be here; A Kilbourne man requires two less, or a half dozen in the clear. From Leonardsburg it's six and a half, from Rome it's past half twenty; From Radnor it's a lovely eight, and Stratford three--that's plenty. A Cheshire man has eleven big miles of road on which to hike it; A Harlemite but sweet sixteen, and most the way could pike it. A long, lean man from Warrensburg could reach here in an hour, For with just six miles to travel, he doesn't need much power. An Ostrander man counts nine short miles before we chance to greet him, A White Sulphur man goes half a dozen miles ere he gets where we can meet him. Rathbone's busy pilgrims live just twelve miles from the hub; And Norton farmers, when in town, drive nine full miles for grub; And it's not because they're stingy that they drive home for a meal; 'Most any restaurant habitue knows exactly how they feel. Now Sunbury town and Delaware have a dozen miles between; And a Condit man can reach this town by pacing off eighteen. To Berkshire, too, upon my word, it's just nine miles, they say; While "wet" Columbus, twenty-four, is down hill all the way. 95 Title A name given to the resource The Delaware Ohio Blue Book (p. 99) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/ec1800ad60079450fa59521619acaf1b.jpg 362b4209ebccbb98cc628ee7408e9c25 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

ON June 20th, 1850, there appeared in the "Olentangy Gazette" of that date, the following notice, the result of suggestions made at a re- cent meeting of the Common Council of the town of Delaware: BURIAL GROUND NOTICE. The citizens of Delaware and vicinity are requested to meet at the Court House, this evening, at 7 1-2 o'clock, to take into consideration the subject of extending the limits of the present Burying Ground, and making a suitable fence around the same; or of changing the location, if necesssary, and selecting a suit- able place for a new one, as the present ground is nearly all occupied. It is hoped that a subject, in which all must be interested, will ensure a general attendance of the citizens. This meeting was numerously attended; Mr. E. Moore acting as Chairman, and Mr. C. C. Chamberlain as Secretary. After a general interchange of opinion on the necessity of immediate action, Dr. R. Hills moved that a committee of five be appointed, to inquire into the propreity of enlarging the present Burying Ground, or of selecting a new one, and report to an adjourned meeting. This motion was adopted, and Dr. R. Hills, Benj. Powers, James Eaton, D. F. McCullough and C. C. Chamberlain, were appointed to the committee. At the adjourned meeting, held at the same place, on the evening of June 29th, 1850, the committee, through their chairman, made a re- port, of which the following is an abstract: Your committee report, that, in regard to the present Burial Ground, Title A name given to the resource Rules and Regulations and Articles of Association of Oak Grove Cemetery (p. 8) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/8aa717a8ba14ada58ebaf97a7e2b6ad3.jpg 0328dc1b7b5d8a322479bce78b4f0df7 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [corresponds to page 6 of Oak Grove Cemetery booklet] 6 the amount of land orginally appropriated--about two acres--has long since been taken up; and that the extensions of Mr. C. C. Cham- berlain, on the north, and Dr. Reuben Lamb, on the south--about two acres more--are nearly all sold. They also find that one acre of ground, belonging to the township, and lying separately from the other by a few rods on the south, is now being used as a pasture in connec- tion with other lands, the monuments being every one broken down, and the inscriptions on nearly all completely effaced. The other grounds are in miserable condition; the fences, partly board, and party worn, are dilapidated; the monuments are some of them broken and defaced, and nearly all leaning in different directions and different degrees; many lots are found to be lapping on each other, and the single carriage avenue or lane through the centre could hardly be found without an expert surveyor, and hogs and cattle are permitted to trample upon and uproot these "houses of the dead" to an extent shameful to the living. Two things are evidently essential to be done under this state of things: the preservation and protection of the old ground, and the pur- chase and appropriation of a new one. The duties of your committee refer only to the latter. An extension of the present ground was first considered; but what was deemed an adequate amount of suitable ground could not be pro- cured--only some eight or ten acres, with three or four of it useless, and at an expense of $200 per acre. The next consideration of the committee was, to ascertain if elsewhere a tract of land could be procured, suitable, in all respects, for a Bury- ing Ground of the character of modern rural cemeteries. After a tho- rough examination in all directions, your committee are unanimous in recommending for this purpose the purchase of the "Kilbourne Farm," a tract of fity acres lying south of the town, one mile distant. A por- tion of this is cultivated, the remainder in a state of nature; the whole undulating and varied in surface, with small rivulets meandering through it. There is also a small frame house, a barn, well, and other improve- Title A name given to the resource Rules and Regulations and Articles of Association of Oak Grove Cemetery (p. 9) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/cd54638311a6bc36f2e03aac6b686ea8.jpg 3ebf119744a1acbb3f12148c224b96d6 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [corresponds to page 7 of Oak Grove Cemetery booklet] 7 ments upon the property, and it is understood that it can be procured for thirty dollars per acre. It is certain that no site as eligible as this, in location, accessibility, distance, picturesque views, variety of surface, and as appropriately timbered, can be procured at all. Your committee most decidedly recommend the establishment of a Rural Cemetery, for these, among other reasons. It is in accordance with man's nature, as well as the instinct of the age, to ornament and beautify the sleeping places of the dead. We have all seen the evi- dences of this propensity of the heart, in the turfing of the little hillock, the planting of the rose, the ivy, the evergreen, and beautiful flowers, over the spot where lies the well-remembered dead. With this feeling so strongly implanted in our nature, it is difficult to understand why we appropriate so sparingly of the surface of the earth for the purpose of burial, and especially such public, naked and bleak spots as is custom- ary. It was not always thus; for it was "the field of Ephron,...the field and the cave which was therein, and all the trees which were in the field, and those that were in all the borders round about," that the affectionate heart of the old patriarch, Abraham, prompted him to seek as a "burial place" for "Sarah, his wife." How strangely does this Scriptural picture contrast with the burial places found all over the country, without even an exception until recently ! It is the taste of most persons to visit the graves of the departed-- the places consecrated to memory--and the influence of such practice is unquestionably felt in developing the better feelings of our nature, in chastening the heart and softening down its rough asperities. Let something, then, be done to make attractive these dwelling places of our friends. Let the beauties of nature be fully opened and developed, and combined with the skill of the sculpter, the genius of the architect, and the taste of the florist, to beautify and adorn them. Let the invalid and all others anticipating death, have no other thought than a burial in some sweet, secluded spot, where the green lawn, the spreading oak and bending elm, the cooling shade and rippling water, the rustling leaves and the wild bird's song, and indeed, all the sweet voices of Nature, Title A name given to the resource Rules and Regulations and Articles of Association of Oak Grove Cemetery (p. 10) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/e4a79c02c1081c0112be97945832fcad.jpg ae336e7c72f7183cb893189fb31b69f2 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Your committee, therefore, recommend the adoption of some plan for the purchase of the "Kilbourne Farm," and its improvement for the purposes of a Rural Cemetery. The Report and its recommendations were approved by the meeting, and the same committee were further instructed to report a plan for the organization of a Cemetery Association, to carry into effect the recom- mendations just adopted. On July 13th, 1850, articles of association were adopted and signed by R. Hills, C. C. Chamberlain, D. F. McCullough, James Eaton, B. Powers, T. W. Powell, R. N. Jones, Geo. F. Stayman, C. Hills, C. Platt, E. Moore, S. Rheem, A. A. Welch, Hosea Williams and S. M. Littell; and on August 10th, 1850, by Geo W. Campbell, Geo. Woods Little, W. S. Little, M. L. Griffin, G. W. Stark, II. Van Horn, Asahel Welch and S. Finch. At this meeting, August 10, 1850, Dr. R. Hills, C. C. Chamberlain, James Eaton, B. Powers and D. F. McCullough, were elected Trustees of the Association, and C. Platt, Clerk. This Board was subsequently further organized by the election of Dr. R. Hills as President, and Benj. Powers as Treasurer. A resolution was adopted to organize the Association under the gen- eral act of the Legislature, chartering Cemetery Associations, dated Feb. 24, 1848. A Constitution and By-Laws were adopted. The land was pur- chased of Mr. Kilbourne for the sum of $1,550. The Board decided upon borrowing the sum necessary to meet the first payment of purchase money, and with which to commence improvements. They also decided to improve and dedicate only about thirty acres at present, it being the northern portion of the tract. R. Hills, T. W. Powell and Jas.

The impressive ceremony of Dedication was held in the grove, in the north-western portion of the grounds, at 10 o'clock on Thursday, July 20, 1851. The day was a beautiful one, and the concourse of citizens large and attentive. The first burial in the Cemetery was on the day of dedication, imme- diately after the ceremonies of the occasion. An amiable old lady, Mrs. McCracken, who had lived just her allotted time of threescore years and ten, was thus fitly appointed by Providence to lead in this place "the way of all flesh."

[This address was mostly a history of the Association, with a general statement of the action of the Board of Trustees, past and prospective. Of the past action a brief statement has already been given, and need not be repeated. Of the latter, it alluded to certain improvements de- cided upon, and in contemplation by the Board, among which was the hedging of the grounds with the Osage Orange so far as practicable, a nursery having been already started for that purpose. A section of ground, something less than one acre, immediately adjoining the en- trance, and upon the right of it, had been reserved, upon which to erect a Gate Lodge, or residence for the superintendent of the grounds. A circular spot of about 900 feet in circumference, on the highest sum- mit of the Ground, and near the front--a most beautiful situation for the purpose--had also been reserved upon which to erect a chapel-- probably at some distant period of time. Allusion was also made to the general principles upon which the Association was based, the provisions of the Charter, the Constitution and By-Laws, and the impression corrected, that a few persons professed to have receieved, to the effect that the Association was established in part as a monetary speculation by a few individuals--the profits from the sales of lots to accrue to them. This was clearly shown to be erro- neous; that all purchasers of lots became part owners of the property, endowed with all the rights and privileges of others, in proportion to the extent of their purchase; that all profits must be applied to the pay- Title A name given to the resource Rules and Regulations and Articles of Association of Oak Grove Cemetery (p. 14) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/ea275db2fc48a094de23b0f9db6ea26f.jpg eeb934e2504fe98ae8cb45871f502980 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The address closed with an announcement, that preparations were now completed for the sale of lots, and an appropriate allusion was made to the first burial upon the grounds, which was to take place on that same day.] DEDICATORY ADDRESS, By the Rev. F. MERRICK, Professor in the Ohio Wesleyan University. "DUST THOU ART, AND UNTO DUST SHALT THOU RE- TURN," was the fiat of Him with whom alone are the issues from death, when the first human pair had by transgression provoked his just displeasure. And from the day the decree went forth even until now, death has swayed his sceptre over the nations, and laid low in the grave each succeeding generation. No age, no circumstances have shielded from his remorseless blow. The infant, sleeping upon its mother's breast, has opened its eyes to close them in the sleep of the grave. The bloom of health upon the cheek of youth has faded, the strength of manhood bowed at the approach of the destroyer, while old age has tottered on its way to the tomb.

Kings have laid aside their robes of royalty, for the habiliments of the tomb; and the beggar in his rags has been borne to his final resting place. The warrior, death's most faithful ally, has at last himself fallen before the mighty archer. The student in his retirement, the man of business in the public mart, the Christian in his closet, and the sensualist in his place of debauch, has each met the dread summons, and passed away. Amid the soft zephyrs of spring, the sultry heats of summer, the decay of autumn, and the frosts of winter, death alike has reveled. "Leaves have their times to fall, And flowers to wither at the north wind's breath, And stars to set : but all-- Thou hast all seasons for thine own, O Death!" Since, therefore, death must pass upon all, it is meet we should provide a suitable spot as the last resting place for the mortal remains of ourselves and friends. I say suitable spot, for since death is an event of so much interest, it cannot be a matter of indifference where rest the sleeping dead. But to select and pre- pare such a spot is no easy task. He who attempts it, should have correct views of life, death, and immortal- ity. He should know what it is to shed the tear of Title A name given to the resource Rules and Regulations and Articles of Association of Oak Grove Cemetery (p. 16) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/77b6795937c978aed78b4cb90a96892f.jpg 12655d6c07e643de87dcc39f45e14950 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

With such views and feelings, he will blend the joy- ous and the sad; for death must ever be regarded as a sad event. "Yea, though promises and hopes strive to cheat its sadness: Full of grief, though faith herself is strong to speed the soul; For the partner of its toil is left behind, to endure the ordeal of change." Men have, indeed, in all ages labored hard to disarm death of his terrors. They have greeted his approach with songs, have decked his victims with flowers, and filled their resting place with cheerful light. Poesy has sung of the quiet of the grave, and satirized the fear of death; while philsophy has recommended a cheer- ful submission to the unavoidable decision of fate. "Still death is terrible--the tear, The groan, the knell, the pall, the bier, And all we know, or dream, or fear Of agony, are his." And the grave--where the eye, the cheek, and the lip of beauty fade, and where the lovely form moulders back to dust--tell me not it has no gloom, nor forbid the falling tear. Hence, thou cold philosopher and dreamy poet, until ye have learned the language of nature, and then ye will bid me stand with the Saviour beside a brother's grave and weep.

But thanks be to God, through whose word "life and immortality are brought to light." "Thy daed men shall live; together with my dead body shall they arise," is its glorious announce- ment. Yes, the grave shall unloose its prisoner, and the ocean's depth uncover the sleeper upon its coral bed. To those who sleep in Christ, there comes a morn of gladness,-- "When love's soft dew o'er every eye Shall shed its mildest rays, And the long silent dust shall burst With shouts of endless praise." Then should the place of sepulture have its lonely glen and sunny hill-side. There should fall the shade of the cypress, the laurel, and the willow; and there, too, should bloom the amaranth, the lily, and the rose. How well adapted is this spot to the use to which we this day dedicate it-- "Midst holy prayers, and generous grief, and consecrating blessings," I need not say. All must feel that, when completed, it will harmonize sweetly with the feelings of the hopeful mourner.

Proprietors of lots may build any suitable monu- ment or monuments thereon, provided that no slab- stone placed upright shall be more than two and a half feet in height, and it is recommended that they be placed so as to face the avenues. [NOTE.--The Board are sensible that they will come in con- flict with past custom and practice in this rule more than in any other. One intention is, to do away entirely with the ordinary thin slab head-stone, as a monument which, though well enough in a crowded, old fashioned grave-yard, with its military style of order and precision, is entire unsuited to the character of a rural, picturesque Cemetery. This can only be appreciated fully by those who have seen the latter; and time will be requisite to reconcile the minds of many to the requirements of the rule. But eventually all will acknowledge the propriety of the restriction. The position of the stone, and impliedly that of the grave, is also of importance. That graves should be dug at a uniform point of the compass, and the head-stones and monuments be placed cor- respondingly, without reference to the locality and direction of avenues, is incompatible with the general design and object; and the idea of a rural Cemetery might as well be abandoned, if this were permitted. The Board will be provided with plans and de- signs of monuments with which to aid persons in deciding with true taste and judgment before any outlay.

All graves shall be at least five feet deep, when the coffin is four feet and upwards in length, and all others shall be at least four feet deep, except those for infants under one year of age, which need not exceed three and a half feet. 6. The surface of the ground over graves should always be kept nearly level, or nearly in its natural shape, and not raised into unsightly mounds. [NOTE.--The practice of raising mounds on the surface of the earth, of the form of the grave, was intended to meet the subse- quent sinking of the earth; but this equally unsightly appearance will always be promptly remedied by the Superintendent. These coffin-shaped hillocks do not harmonize with the spirit that should prevail in such a place--the Spirit of Nature, in all her simpli- city, beauty and purity. One means of preventing the sinking of the earth, is to have the lower part of the grave built up with durable brick, and covered with thin slabs of stone, instead of using boards, as is customary, which must in a little time give way and thus occassion the sinking.] Title A name given to the resource Rules and Regulations and Articles of Association of Oak Grove Cemetery (p. 38) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/fd7dee0e08a554af57e3ac594d5ad13a.jpg d04daaac99081e6b79ad35a06b4165f3 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

And as this department must necessarily remain under the exclusive control of the Board, there is a reasonable certainty of its receiving perpetual care and attention. The cost of the stone cannot be definitely given, as it must necessarily vary; but it can unquestionably be obtained under a general arrangement of the Board at a much less price than by individuals.

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