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.

Senior History May, 1932 Dear Mickey: Well, here we are at last--having embarked on the great event of our careers--high school. We entered twenty-two strong, the greenest of the green. We became full fledged Freshmen by the party that was given for us by the Sophomores. The first year was fairly uneventful, you know Freshmen always are a little minor anyway, but the thrill and anticipation that always be- longs to us lasted until the end of the year. We all feel a little better now since we know that we will no longer be "those terrible Freshmen." So long until next year. Yours, Minnie May, 1933 Dear Mickey: Last year was an awful strain on our nerves but this year it was different. We could sit back with ease, content that we had one class at least lower than we. Several members of our class went out for athletics in a big way and we feel proud of our representation in those activi- ties. Just give us time, we're growing in prominence.

Description An account of the resource [page 12] [corresponds to page Eleven of The Pointer 1935] 1935 THE POINTER May, 1934 Dear Mickey: We've been Juniors all year. People are beginning to recognize us because of the grand party we gave them on Hallowe'en. We had dancing 'n' everything. Our class had nineteen members this year which is only three less than we had when we started. Not bad, we say. Our class play, "It's In the Bag," was a huge success and we realized enough money to give our superior friends, the Seniors, a party with a grand dinner and dance afterwards. The old tradition of getting class rings was kept by us this year and rings with tiger eye sets were obtained. All in all, we had a very successful and eventful year, don't you think? So long, Minnie May, 1935 Dear Mickey: At last our dream is realized--Seniors! Do you think we stopped work though? Not on your life. We won the subscription campaign for our school paper with the Freshmen, bless their little hearts, right behind us. The Juniors gave us a wonderful banquet in April that was followed by a more wonderful dance. We did one thing this year that we trust will be car- ried on by our successors--we materialized plans for an annual. Our supervisor helped us and as a result of hard work on both her part and ours, the first annual of B.H.S. is the result. When we were those green Freshmen, we didn't realize what a responsibility it was to be a Senior. But my, we have learned. Everyone worked so hard the last six weeks that we were almost forced to call a few days rest period. Commencement activities, and particularly our play, "Invisible Eyes," were a terrible strain on our tired four year old high school brains. Yes-- as a class we have accomplished much, and now we enter into a big-cruel world feeling sad that our happy high school days are over. Au Revoir Minnie Class Phrophecy BELLPOINT PLAZA BELLPOINT, OHIO Entertainment and Floor Show Manager Dorothy Aldrich John Robinson May 20, 1950. Dear Mary Eliz: Well, here I am in Bellpoint making collections for my flourishing Lantern Man- ufacturing Company. Since I have so much leisure time on hand--people here pay bills readily--I have been reading our friend, "The Literary Digest," now edited by Loraine Mills. There is, in this wonderful magazine, a two page article devoted to the well know father of the sextuplets, Harold Rader. Also an article on "The Fine Points of Basketball" by Coach Owen of the University of Illinois appears in this issue. And boy! On the page, "They Stand Out In The Crowd," there were some real outstanding personalities: first, comes Samuel E. Stone, (remember him?), who is now an English Professor at Columbia University and an outstanding specialist in verbalism. Second, Leo Davis is the president of the White Sulphur Limited, which is using the latest type of Zephyrs. Third, Louis Bremer is an outstanding radio crooner and dance caller, who spends a greater portion of his time trying to argue with the microphone. And of all people, Frank Peirsol is the president of the most exclusive club in Bellpoint called "The Gripers." A whole page is written on the new scientific genius who has discovered the out- standing chemical of the centuries. For, as I suppose you know, Betty Healy has brought forth this wonderful "midnight oil" because she was forced to use so much of it in her "night life." James Boylan is now trying out his new auto racer in which he expects to attain a speed of 400 or more miles per hour. He has written an article on "How to Drive Curves." Yours truly, Diogenes. P.S. Since the State of Ohio has abolished all Breach of Promise Cases and all ali- mony cases, Velma Garey, the greatest of all hunt and dig stenographers, has been out of a job, so she is doing this typing for me.

By this means all sports equipment is bought. Membership is gained by the entrance fee of one dollar. Officers of the association this year were: President, John Robinson; Secretary-treasurer, Loraine Mills. Basketball Team BOYLAN--Snappy forward, quick shot and is he hard to guard! CLARK--An outstanding center, excellent pivot man and an eye for the basket. DAVIS--Smooth guard, snappy passer with splendid floor work. OWEN--Keen eye for the basket, wicked man on defence and speedy floor work. ROBINSON--Tough guard, smooth passer and a strong fighter. The team has just completed a very successful year, winning twenty-two games and losing three. In a race for the Delaware County Championship, Bellpoint came out on top, placing one member, Jim Boylan, on the first all county team. Our other forward, Bernard Owen, was outstanding by being the leading scorer for the team. Manual Training The manual training class has done considerable during the year to improve the looks of the school building in the way of a book case, athletic cabinet, dinner box benches, etc. Home Economics The home economics class has served meals twice weekly during the school year. They have made enough money to carry on their work and have contributed a nice sum of money toward the annual and the school paper.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Supt. of Schools ---Class 1939-------------- Class 1939--- Facing the Future In behalf of the teachers and superintend- ents of Delaware County School District, I want to take this opportunity to con- gratulate the seniors of 1939. We con- gratulate you not only for the skills, facts and information you have acquired in the class room, but more especially in that you have increased your ability to think straight. Undoubtedly, you are a- ware of the fact that in order to solve a difficulty, you must know what the problem is, and then evaluate the facts of the prob- lem as they relate to the major value. Today we are confronted with some major problems that challenge us. Such prob- lems, for example, as the difficulty of securing a real vocation, unemployment, poverty, crime and the forces which threat- en to destroy our Democratic way of life. Confronted with these difficult issues, what are we going to do about them? Face them or evade them? The problem of adjusting ourselves to the hard real- ities of life has always been hard. Our early pioneers who blazed their way into Delaware County over a century ago found life hard. But they did not evade their problems, run from them, or give up. They faced their difficulties, weighed and solv- ed them. The problem of protecting and defending American Democracy from the influences of Fascism and Communism is before us. Are we as future citizens and voters going to face or evade this problem? Are we willing to sacrifice a reasonable amount of time and effort to read and think on these prob- lems and thereby enrich our meanings rela- tive to self-government? Are we willing to pay the price? It is to be observed that such representative statemen as Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison and Jay, in establishing American ideals, an- ticipated that the electorate of the fu- ture would exercise political intelligence. Let us grow and develop this intelligence and show to the world that a nation so con- ceived and so dedicated can long endure. -Editorial Staff- Nan Whipple...................Ashley James Webster..............Bellpoint Philip Frazier................Berlin Darlene Smith..................Brown Mary Miller...................Galena Ruth Cook, Beulah Ryder.......Harlem Patty Gray....................Hyatts Wilma Slack, Eileen Barrows...Orange Allen Kile.................Ostrander Warren Parmenter..............Powell Mary Hummel...................Radnor Raymond Jennings.............Sunbury Supt.

Extra-curricular activities have always been of vital interest to the class of '39. Seventeen of the twenty-one boys and twelve of the seventeen girls have participated in at least one sport during their high school period; fourteen boys took part in at least three major sports. Eleven seniors in the foot- ball lineup were letter men; six of the first ten of the basketball squad were also members of the '39 class. In the field of music nearly every member has participated in some activity. Of the '39 group sev- enteen have sung in the glee club all four years; eighteen have sung in the county festival; nine boys were members of a group which com- peted in the district and state mu- sic contests; six are members of the high school band, and five have played since the band was organized in 1933; eleven '39ers were part of a special group which joined a cho- rus of 440 central-Ohio high-school students to give a concert in Mees Hall on April 15. An abundance of literary, journal- istic, and artistic talent was dis- covered when appointments were made to the school newspaper. During the past two years members of the class have held down eighteen of a pos- sible thirty jobs in newspaper work, with Raymond Jennings as editor and Elsie Knoderer as art editor. Organizations have profited from senior activities; ten boys belong to the F.F.A. where they have served on fair boards, entered pub- lic speaking and parliamentary pro- cedure contests, and were on judging teams. George Lane is president of the organization this year. In the F.H.A. seniors holding important offices have been: president, Sue McDonald; vice president, Doris Glick and Juanita Bonham. Twelve seniors: Raymond Jennings, Glen Hoskinson, Henry Wilson Jr., Juanita Bonham, Helen Sue McDonald, Robert Freeman, Kermit Nuckles, James Wilson, Russell Watts, Doris Glick, Betty Ridenour, and Jay Stemen com- peted in the general scholarship team on April 15. Members of the cast of the senior play, "The Trail of the Lone- some Pine," are: Raymond Jennings, Wanda Beddow, Delia Smith, Ralph Courter, Betty Ridenour, Henry Wil- son Jr., Robert Freeman, George Willey, Betty Strosnider, Jerome Stark, Mary Ellen Quinn, Sue McDonald, Christine Walker, Betty Olinger.

Description An account of the resource [page 9] [corresponds to page 11 of Souvenir of Forty Years] THE REUNION The appropriate preface to this souvenir book of the Ohio Wesleyan class of 1871, is the story of the '71 Reunion, which was held in Delaware, June 13, 1911. Of the original class (both of the O.W.U. and the O.W. F.C.) numbering sixty-eight, twenty-eight have died. The forty surviving members are scattered over the United States, with two in South America. We had sixteen members of the class at Delaware, and four of them brought their wives, making a '71 company of twenty. Those who were present were Mrs. Ella Downs Twitchell, Mrs. Helen Pease Merriam, Miss Delia Paine, Miss Mary Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Nye, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Woolley, Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Lane, D. J. Smith, E. H. Jewitt, J. M. Wilson, C. E. Jones, W. M. Day, L. C. Black, W. P. Mc- Laughlin, and W. D. Cherington. Room No. 5 in the University Hall was the appointed place for our headquarters. Here we spent much of the day Tuesday, meeting each other, and meeting our old friends of other classes, who called to see us. An in- teresting exhibit of the earlier and later pictures of the members of our class was suspended in a paper frame that reached around the room. Our table was filled with old programs and souvenirs of our college days. At noon we found ourselves happily together at the '71 table of the great Alumni banquet, where John G. Woolley, of our class, presided and spoke as toastmaster, and William P. McLaughlin delivered one of the addresses. Both of them reflected much honor upon the class they represented. It was very interesting to meet each other, for a number of us had not met for forty years, and so great had been the changes that we did not know each other. Our '71 Reunion proper began at four o'clock. John G. Woolley was elected president, and W. D. Cherington secretary. The roll of the class was called, those present responding with the hearty freedom of the family circle; and those absent being reported by letter or verbally. We deeply regretted that many of our class could not be present. We had not program of speeches, but just the hearty good time that members of the family circle would have, after long years of separation. In the midst of our happiness, we were pained to hear of the many members of our class who have passed forever beyond the reach of earthly reunions. At five o'clock we adjourned to have a reunion picture taken on the front steps of University Hall. This picture appears in the opening pages of this book. At six o'clock we met in the parlors of the English Lutheran Church, where the ladies of that church served us a class banquet, that we shall re- member with pleasure for years to come. After the banquet we renewed the roll call, and tarried together until a late hour. The members of the class present unanimously passed the motion to publish a Fortieth Anniversary Book, and appointed W. D. Cherington as the editor, and L. C. Black, W. C. Nye, J. A. Smith and C. E. Jones as the publication committee. Fifteen members present generously subscribed ten dollars each, to start the fund for the publication of the book. We certainly all felt that we had spent a happy day together, and that in communion with those whom we had loved in our early life, we had re- newed our youth. 11 Title A name given to the resource The Souvenir of Forty Years (p. 9) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/a0deb9a9e7236205c8fe27222568da12.jpg ec6f4a829711c5c3797ba97704d08787 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 10] [corresponds to page 12 of Souvenir of Forty Years] THE EDITORIAL STATEMENT Two score years ago, and for a long period earlier and later, it was the custom in the Ohio Wesleyan University, for each Junior class to issue a college publication, under such a name as the class might select. These an- nual Junior records, under a variety of names, were the forerunners of the College "Bijou," which has apparently come to stay. The Junior record of the class of 1870 was known as "The Chain." There appeared our University circles in 1910 a beautiful book, under the editor- ship of Mr. J. A. Jackson, entitled "The Chain of Forty Links." The book, published by the class of '70, has been such a delight to us all, that it gave us an inspiration for a book of like character from our class, which we earnestly trust may in turn have some influence to help the University that we all love. The Junior record of our class of 1871, passed into history as "The Souvenir." This brief historical record of the members of our class since graduation, re- ceives its name by inheritance, as "The Souvenir of Forty Years." By the appointment of the members of our class who were present at our reunion in commencement week of 1911, it has fallen to our lot to prepare the fortieth anniversary book of the class of '71. We are indebted to Mr. J. A. Jackson for many kindnesses that have helped us in this enterprise; to Dr. W. W. Davies, for much valuable information; to the University Regis- trar, for giving us access to the Alumni records; and to the University Treas- urer, for the loan of many valuable cuts of the buildings. These pages will give the present day roll of our class, with the correct present addresses of our living members, and with the addresses of the nearest relatives of our deceased members, in so far as we have been able to secure them. The reunion of our class in 1911, on the occasion of our fortieth anni- versary, was a most interesting and delightful event that is briefly told in these pages. But while this book had its birth in "The Reunion," the burden of its message reaches far beyond a single "Red Letter Reunion Day." It is definitely "The Souvenir of Forty Years" of the real life history of sixty- eight men and women who went our from the University in 1871, to belt the world 'round with their influence, and to encompass immortality itself with their living presence. Must we make defense of this book against the charge that it has a large grave-yard department in it? Not until some one shall arise who can set to music the real life story of an equal number of men and women, through a like period, without a single minor note of death to mar the "hallelujah chorus" of two score years of life. Are any of our beloved classmates grieved because the delightful life- stories which they kindly sent us, do not appear in full in these pages? This volume already exceeds the original limitations marked out for it; and it would have required a volume double its size, to have written the full history of all the events worthy of record in our noble class. Were any of the members of the class of '71 oppressed by being driven to the art galleries against their will, to meet the expectations of this book? In the coming years their children, and their children's children, will arise to call this humble editor blessed, because in many instances he confessedly 12 Title A name given to the resource The Souvenir of Forty Years (p. 10) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/bb473a016759dda4e5af4cd1191b6eda.jpg 33038338bd737e0ab2fa5507d5b433fe Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

And after all, is "The Souvenir of Forty Years" only an enterprise of extravagance, without any mission? We venture the prophecy that the little offering we have made, once in a life-time, to make this little souvenir book possible, will bring as large a measure of blessing to our lives, and to the lives of others, as any offering that we have ever made, in these two score busy years. And so, under the commission of the class of '71, and greatly encouraged by their hearty co-operation, we have sought to gather the histories and the pictures of the royal men and women, who made up the diploma procession of the Ohio Wesleyan University in 1871. Sixty-eight strong we went out into the world, and through the long years since, our paths have crossed all continents and all oceans. Twenty-eight of our number have already completed the post-graduate work of earth, and have gone to receive their immortal parchments, in the great Commencement day of their eternal life. Our surviving members are living in many distant states and countries, and it has required the search ligth of the marvelous postal system of the twen- tieth century, to find them all. Pity the limitations of an editor, whose office is the growth of a night, and who is suddenly dispatched on the impossible errand of gathering the histories and the shadows of more than three score men and women, widely separated by distance and death. And know this: that however incom- plete the work may be, it has been wrought in the ardent love of the old college days, and is offered as a sincere contribution to the literature of our lives.

ALBRIGHT *RUBY J. ALBRIGHT was the youngest of all the "Boys of '71." His home was in Delaware. After his graduation he went to Europe, where he spent eighteen months in special study in Halle University. Returning to Delaware, he spent quite a time in the study of law. June 14, 1876, he was joined in marriage with Miss Adah Adams, who was a member of the O.W. F.C. class of '73. They lived for a time in Indianapolis, Indiana, where he practiced law. Returning to Delaware, he took up the work of the law there. He then moved to Selma, Ohio, where he engaged in teaching, and where his wife died March 10, 1879. Their only child is a daughter, Estella Mar- garet, whose home is in Delaware, with her maternal grandmother. After his wife's death he returned to his law work in Delaware, and later was Super- intendent of the Public Schools in Gambier, Ohio. He died at his mother's home in Delaware, July 31, 1885. Failing eyesight compelled him to give up his law practice and his teaching. The early death of his beloved wife and of others near to him, and his blindness, made our dear classmate's life full of discouragement. The entire Albright family to which he belonged, so well and favorably known in University circles, have all passed to the great beyond. THOMAS C. ANDERSON began the study of law at Portsmouth, Ohio, in December, 1872, and was admitted to the Bar in 1874. In January, 1875, he formed a law partnership, that brought him at once into a large practice. Since his graduation, he has spent his life in Portsmouth, where he is still engaged in the practice of law. In recent years, he has been actively engaged also in real estate enterprises. September 21, 1876 he was joined in marriage with Miss Ida Frances Cole, of Portsmouth. They have seven children, all living, Clifford B., Bessie L. Frederick, Martha Kate Jordan, Lollie L., Charles L., Mary E., and Hayward M. They have also three surviving grand-children, two having died in infancy.

Her homes throughout their married life were in the cities of the state to which her husband was appointed as a minister in the Ohio Con- ference. It falls to the lot of the partner of her life to write the following historical note in her memory: We had a happy life-union, covering a period of thirty-one years. November 25, 1905, from our home in Lancaster, Ohio, she crossed over to God's better country. We have had four children. The eldest and youngest were daughters, bearing the names of Eva and Minnie. God claimed them both for heaven in their infancy. Our two sons, Frank and Fred, are both graduates of the Ohio Wesleyan. Frank also graduated from Harvard University, and has been for nine years as teacher of English in the University High School of the University of Chicago. Fred graduated from the normal school of the Ohio University in 1911, and is about to enter upon the work of teaching. Our united tribute to the wife and mother of our household, is that her memory is forever sacred in our home, and in all the churches where she lived and labored. We are living in the holy evening twilight of her beautiful life, with the full assurance that we shall meet her in God's new and radiant morning. [photos] LEWIS C. BLACK LEWIC C.

The faculty of Ohio Wes- leyan University had been offered the opportunity of nominating two mem- bers of the graduating class of 1871 to clerkships in the office of General James H. Baker, then Commissioner of Pensions. The Faculty nominated Mr. John G. Woolley and myself. I accepted and went to Washington; Mr. Woolley declined. While at Washington I matriculated in the Columbia Law College, and graduated thereform in 1873. Columbia Law College has consolidated with, and is a part of, the George Washington University, of Washington, D.C. I was admitted to the practice of law in the Supreme Court of the Dis- trict of Columbia in 1873, in the Supreme Court of the State of Ohio in 1875, 20 Title A name given to the resource The Souvenir of Forty Years (p. 18) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/6aa9bc8a6333e1161985cf7211729e3a.jpg 396503f4143090031cbbc66253f3214a Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The college records show that on the date of June 4, 1873, she was joined in marriage with Mr. Homer S. Mouser, who was a member of the Ohio Wesleyan class of 1867. Mr. Mouser was for sev- eral years Superintendent of Public Instruction for Shelby County, Illinois; and later an attorney at law, with his later and present residence at Huron, S. Dakota.

Campbell, was born in Ripley, Brown County, Ohio, March 9, 1854. After being graduated from college, she taught in the Delaware city schools, finally becoming the Principal of the East Building, until her growing deafness compelled her to give up the work in the year 1876. She was an earnest Christian from early childhood, and at this time was active in all departments of church work, being also church organist. On January 8, 1880, she was married to Mr. Charles M. Edwards, of Cin- cinnati, Ohio. Three daughters were born to them: Antoinette Campbell (Mrs. W. D. Thomson), Catherine Lefavre (deceased), and Mary Joe (Mrs. E. L. Main). After a long illness in her father's home at Delaware, Ohio, she died July 8, 1887. The words "Only Believe" were often on her lips, and death for her was a triumphant going home." 23 Title A name given to the resource The Souvenir of Forty Years (p. 21) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/55576718582a3846722f235d2525a4bf.jpg 5387300c02dada85e384636b425e2e72 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

He graduated from Ohio Wesleyan in 1871, and received the degree of A.M. in 1874. He was prob- ably the oldest member of his class, being forty-four years of age at his grad- uation. Long before he entered Ohio Wesleyan, he had taught Latin for three years in Kenyon College, had been Principal of the Mount Pleasant Academy at Kingston, Ohio, and had served his country in the Civil War, being a member of the 145th O.V.I. He was licensed to preach by the Presbytery of Marion in 1866, and was pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Marseilles, Ohio. During his pastorate at Marseilles, he finished his course at Ohio Wesleyan. In 1873 he became pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Forest, Ohio, where he remained for eighteen years. He then served as pastor, successively, the churches of Rador, Radnor Township, and Prospect, where he had his last work, and where he died May 25, 1904. He was married December 28, 1859, to Eliza Harter, of Delaware County, who is still living. Six children were born to them, one son dying in child- hood. The children living are: G. A. Cellar, Supt. of Telegraph of Penn. Lines at Pittsburg; Mrs. R. M. Horn, of Prospect; Miss Elnora Cellar, of Prospect, (to whom we are indebted for our information concerning his life); Miss Martha Cellar, a trained nurse in Toledo; and Miss Anna P.

Not much of a record, but here it is, summed up: When we first came to Kansas, I taught two terms in a [photos] MARY E.

I was county superintendent for two years. After my father's death, which was the one great sorrow of my life, I was bookkeeper in a store. For several years I have devoted all my time to giving lessons in china and water color painting, and to doing order work. I am happy in my home, my friends and my work, and feel that in many ways I have been greatly blessed. I hold Delaware and the Ohio Wesleyan in great affection, for the influence and inspiration received there, have been great factors in my life. *FLETCHER B. CHERINGTON joined the Upper Iowa Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in September, 1871, and was pastor in Iowa for one year. In the fall of 1872 he was joined in marriage with Miss Carrie Reed, who was for many years the beloved partner of his life, both in India and in America. By this marriage he had four sons: Reed, now pastor of a Congregational church in California; Paul, Assistant Professor in the Col- lege of Commerce, in Harvard University; William, a business man in Los Angeles; and Howard, deceased. Returning now, in our story of his life, to the time of his marriage, it should be recorded that October 23, 1872, he and his wife sailed from New York for India, where he was a missionary, being stationed at Setapore. After four years, the rapidly failing health of his wife necessitated his return to this country, where for a number of years, he was pastor of leading churches in Kansas and Iowa.

Later he was Presi- dent of Puget Sound University, and pastor of churches in Tacoma, Spokane, San Francisco and Los Angeles. He was an eloquent preacher, beloved in the churches. A few years after his return to America his wife died. In 1888 he was joined in marriage with Mrs. Sue Durbin, a teacher in the University of Southern California, with whom he lived most hapily during the last twenty years of his life, who was his strong helper in the work on the Pacific coast.

Since his retirement he had lived in a little surburban home, where to use his own words, he "camped on the border-land of Heaven." While thus waiting at the crossing between the worlds, he sent this message to the Min- isterial Association at Los Angeles: "Tell the brethren it is more than resig- nation; it is peace, perfect peace." WILLIAM D. CHERINGTON is charged with the preparation of this book, and must be permitted to tell his personal story in the first person. In the autumn of 1871 I entered Drew Theological Seminary, where I graduated, with the degree of B.D., in May, 1873. During most of this time I served a church as a student pastor, and thus made my way through the theological school. In september, 1873, I joined the Ohio Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which I have been an active member ever since. Sep- tember 24, 1874, I was joined in marriage with Miss Mary G. Barnes, of Dela- ware, a member of the class of '71. The record of our family will be found in this book, under her name.

In the following September they removed to Defiance, Ohio, where he was the successful Superintendent of the Public Schools for three years. During this time he preached frequently where opportunity of- fered, believing that the ministry was his life-work. During one summer he filled the pulpit at Defiance, made vacant by the removal of the pastor to the west. In 1874 he joined the Central Ohio Conference of the Methodist Epis- copal Church, and was pastor of the following charges: Florida, Pioneer and Perrysburg. His ministry was very short, but was signally successful in revivals, and in adding strength to the churches. He died of typhoid fever at Perrysburg, Ohio, December 1, 1878. Shortly after his death, great revivals swept over the churches where he had labored as pastor, and these revivals were believed by the people to have been the fruits of his earnest ministry, and with the deep impression that his early death made upon the churches. His wife survives him, and is living in Columbus, Ohio.

Hope the reunion will be a success." In response to our further appeal to him to expand his history, he wrote the following: "I have nothing to add to my biography. 'My days have been passed as a tale that is told'--each much like its predecessor. While there is variety in the cases tried by a lawyer, even yet it becomes monotonous.

From his residence in Montevideo, Uruguay, South America, he writes us, giving the following statement of his life-work: "In brief outline, my 'manner of life' since we parted on the Commence- ment platform in front of the old Library Building in June, 1871, has been as follows: A three year course in the School of Theology of Boston University, leading up to the usual degrees, was followed by appointment as missionary to Mexico, and ordination as deacon and elder at the hands of Bishop Peck at the old Providence Conference at North Bridgewater, Mass. In Mexico it fell to my lot to establish the mission in Puebla, found the Theological Seminary, and succeed to the superintendency of the Mission, remaining at its head until its organization as an Annual Conference. Had charge of the Thelogical Sem- inary in Buenos Aires, and supervision of printing and publication interests. In the discharge of my duties had occasion to visit all the countries of South America, except Venezuela and the Guianas. In 1900 was asked to establish our mission in Porto Rico, where four very interesting years were spent.

Have married here, and spent nearly forty years of steady work here in my business, which is real estate and loans. About 1880, I established a State Bank, but after some ten years sold my interest in it, and continued business alone as a matter of preference.

She took an active interest in all church and missionary work, and was especially interested in all works of art and music. In the great loan exhibition of William Street Church (of which she was a member) she had chrage of the art department, and did much for the success of the enter- prise. Later she identified herself with Asbury church, and was very active in its building and furnishing enterprises. November 12, 1891, she was mar- ried to Joseph L. Moore, vice-president of the Carthage (Missouri) National Bank, and at once took up her residence in Carthage. She there joined the Presbyterian church, of which her husband was a member. No children were born of their marriage. After an illness of several weeks, she passed quietly away August 14, 1896.

PAINE contributes to our '71 book the following story of her life: "When I first began to think seriously of coming to the fortieth reunion of my class, I felt like a scarred veteran returning from the wars, but, as soon as my feet really pressed the soil of my Alma Mater and I saw the old fa- miliar faces once more, I felt like a school girl again, more even than on the day when I held my diploma in my hand; for I was one who left the halls of my Alma Mater broken in health, destined to struggle through years of ill health and discouragement, until I learned to obey Nature's laws and to apply them to every day life. For many years I made my home in a sani- tarium, because I could not live anywhere else. Fortunately there were times when I could make excursions to the various cities of the United States, thus keeping in touch with art, music, and the drama, and most of all with the bonhommie of the life of the world. Experience is a hard teacher, but many of the severe trials of life, if rightly met, prove to be blessings in disguise; and now the clouds of doubt and discouragement are passing away, and the silver lining appears to me in the shpae of a health that is based more upon self knowledge and mental poise than upon physical vigor. We must first learn to help ourselves before we can learn to help others, and while my life has not been as full of physical activities as those of most of you, my sym- pathies have been broadened by my experiences, and I have done what good I could do in passing.

The next two or three years were spent in Greenfield, Ohio, as superintendent of the public schools. He was married in 1874 to Miss Fannie Allen, of Greenfield, who died a year later. In 1878 he became a member of the bar and located at Jackson, Ohio. In the same year he was elected to the Ohio legislature and was re- elected in 1880. In 1879 he was married to Miss Cornelia Dickason, of Jackson, who survives him. The later years of his life were spent upon the family estate at Hamden, Ohio, where he died September 20, 1883, at the age of thirty-nine. He left two children, a daughter, now Mrs. Edward Newell, of Bristol, Indiana, and a son, James B. Paine, Jr., who resides with his mother at Jack- son, Ohio. James B.

Our great regard is assured to her daughter, who is the one surviving member of the household. JOHN G. WOOLLEY has had a world-wide life.

In 1848 he moved to Marshall, Illinois, where for some time he was engaged in the work of making wagons. He was a member of Company G. 86th Illinois V.I., and was first lieutenant. He served during the war, and was discharged with the rank of captain. His first marriage was with Sarah J. Grady. Eight children were born of this marriage. His wife died June 7, 1895. November 30, 1898, he was married to his wife's sister, Mrs. Mary A. Homish. For six years he was a mail agent, but during most of his life he was a druggist.

We present the following address on "The Spring," delivered by John G. Woolley of '71, at the Alumni Banquet, June 13, 1911: "Passing through Delaware on the train some time ago, with my senti- mental spectacles fixed on the changed but still familiar sky line where the University buildings seemed to be conferring, with portentious eaves ad- vanced, among the naked branches of the campus grove--like a petrified Faculty meeting; I heard one boy ask another, in the seat just back of mine, 'Say, what is the O.W.U.?' The answer fell with a thud of barbarian brev- ity and finality: 'Aw, it's nothing but a spring." Whereupon, straightway, I forgot the architecture and, without preju- dice, the Faculty, with all the visible grandeur and solemnity appertaining, and let the lead-line run through the fingers of my memory. And sure enough, it gave no sign of anything substantial underlying the famous institution, until it splashed into the spring and gave back a faint, far-away, sulphuretted hydrogen atmosphere that justified the young cynic's irreverent summary, dispelled the odor of old midnight oil and set me saying to my diplomaed and degreed self-consciousness: 'He's right; it's a spring.' And I reckon that if we old gray-beards and young men and women who sit around these tables, could now and here detach ourselves from the arte- riosclerosis of ancient conversations and the plaster bandages of present af- fectations, and concentrate our liberated minds upon a personal definition of the noble foundation in whose name we were christened in the family of let- ters, and at whose beheset we have assembled here today, our simple, honest thoughts would discover us to be naive and adventurous Ponce De Leons, following through the storm and shine of strenuous years the sense of water softly dripping from the brim of a low, marble basin into a shallow rivulet, that glides away without a sound, as befits the survitor of our greatness. "From every coign of unaffected contemplation, the careless caricature appears to have a core of solid characterization. And the meaning of this anniversary, in both its lighter and its graver harmonies, from the initial ac- tion of the committee down to these culminating moments of affectionate communion, can be expressed most simply and most perfectly by the oldest and friendliest college salutation that any of us can remember, 'Come on, let's go to the spring.' "This fascinating pile, considered part by part, or in its splendid total, was always and is yet the spring, and other appertaining epiphanies. For all the glorious eloquence of Bishop Thomson, the snow-capped loftiness of Doctor Merrick, the tropical luxurience of Doctor McCabe, the deadly certi- tude of Professor Williams, the blood-curdling gentleness of Professor Per- kins, the terrible smile of Professor Whitlock, the immanent, and (God for- give me) inopportune ubiquity of Mrs. Donelson; for all the works of faith of the great church concerned, and all the labors of love, and lesser matters, in the student body, just a spring. No fountain playing in duress of pipes or engines or hydraulic rams, nor any mere emblem of moral, mental, or mar- ital beginnings, but a pool where cosmic reservoirs of the oxygen and hydro- gen of vitality, culture, character and power utter themselves to refresh and enrich the seeded acreage of youthful life. "It is only a spring. And this reunion only an eddy in the Delaware 69 Title A name given to the resource The Souvenir of Forty Years (p. 67) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/2f5df3f3667dd2c8025b3ee8efe12948.jpg 778e2618fab02917aa3c71500a30edd8 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

"That was an astonishing stroke of prophetic scholarship in Isaiah, to open his great exhortation into higher lines of thought and action with the univented chemical symbol for water, 'Ho, every one that thirsteth.' And all the cumulative analogies in vegetable, animal, intellectual and spiritual evolution tend to corroborate the suggestion that we were and are in the true order of progress in beginning, continuing and ending our college courses at the spring. Events, too, are thoroughly and rapidly bringing general social and political reinforcements to the idea. As a nation drinketh, so it is, from liver to imagination. The call of the Ohio Wesleyan University has always been directed sub- stantially, like that of the eloquent old Hebrew, to 'every one that thirsteth.' A desire for the more abundant life was always her fundamental requirement. The entrance examinations were not severe. The conditions of promotion were never hard. But ever the lines have fallen in very unpleasant places for the youth whom our Faculty found wanting in a healthy thirst for the living well of worthy development. "There may have been great changes here, as elsewhere, since my time. But many of us are witnesses that up to '71--whatever may have happened afterward in the evolutionary variation and distribution of pedagogic species, or as we may say, freaks, our Alma Mater has never felt constrained to apol- ogize for her existence to the Doctors of Philosophy whose methods are so scientifically thin and hollow-ground as to make the vulgar work of meeting classes a condescension and a bore. "We should no doubt have been the better for some better laboratories, in our day, for more training in the use of the library, for more liberty to differ from our preceptors about the tariff and divine fore-knowledge. In a word, we might have been gaited better for speed on the road we were to travel. But, after all, the great thing was that we should get a sense of the road itself. To bring us on sturdily in the great relay race of vital philoso- phy, through the garden of Epicurus to the hut of Epicetus, then on through the Academy of Plato and the Lyceum of Aristotle to the cross of Christ, was the almost fierce concern of our great mother. Among the colleges of our time, this was one of the great schools of the orientation. Many a boy entered upon his journey-work through the doors of this machine-shop with a kit that was none too good. But not one struck the road without a chance of knowing well the lay of the land and the points of the compass. "The primary doctrine of Aristotle, that a conquering man must first of all grasp the social and religious bigness of the sceme of life, was never held more nakedly or tenaciously than it was in this University. And the fruits in justification of the philosophy were never grown in relatively greater measure than in the personnel of our alumni. I do not brag. I exclude my- self from the generalization, but I speak the simple truth in saying, that if possibly on analysis, we might rank below the highest in specialized and fa- mous scholarship, yet in the staple, stable vision and ability, without which mere learning is 'wood, hay and stubble,' our mother is one of the Cornelias 71 Title A name given to the resource The Souvenir of Forty Years (p. 69) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/7d497493f160f484046cb61d648503fe.jpg 8876ae76e3c2f5aa590dc2d5a443513c Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

"So, my head would speak, and more, to you, at length if there were time. Now let my heart alone conclude. The sentiments aroused in me by this reunion are not born of the event. They have run steadily in my blood these forty years. My life has been busy and stormy, and our ways have been wide apart. But I have loved this fellowship and wished for it through everything. During the last year especially, in the place of my work beyond the sea, I have felt that I simply must come up with you today. I am too thankful for mere words that it was possible. The security of long life seems better for it. And I seem able to look forward to some June day in 1921 (when I shall be in double import in the seventy-one class), when I shall say to a beautiful gray old lady at my side: 'Come, deer, let's go to the spring.'" 72 Title A name given to the resource The Souvenir of Forty Years (p. 70) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/67b6aaa79af78d56b1926bfbb00fdd8e.jpg 868f51e4681030c6766ad1d845329bef Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Millard F. Warner was the historian of our O.W.U. class. We reprint here the following interesting exhibit, concerning the men of the class at the time of our graduation. This does not include three of our men who grad- uated with the class, but were not actively with us in our college life. We regret also that it does not include our O.W.F.C. members. A like exhibit for them would be full of interest. But we presume that our his- torian, in that early day, had not the courage to undertake that part of the work. He gives the following summary of the facts indicated in the table below: "The aggregate ages are 969 years, (which happens to be 'all the days of Methuselah'); average age 23 1/2 years.

Repeat process until all is used, wetting spoon each time. Boil ten minutes; as soon as the lid is removed, take a fork and open the top of each one to prevent falling. Serve with butter or gravy. MISS CYNTHIA SMITH. Economy Croquettes. Rightly made, this combination of "left-overs," which are too good to waste, is nice for breakfast or supper. Mince cold meat finely, either pork or beef; to one-half teacup of this add as much, or more, of cold rice and mashed potatoes. Break six or eight crackers in a dish and wet with just enough sweet milk to soak them; then mix all together, adding a well beaten egg, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Flour the hands and make into cakes the size of small cookies; fry until nicely browned on both sides. Serve with butter. MISS MARY R. SMITH. Veal Croquettes. Chop cold veal fine, season with salt, pepper, cayenne, onion juice, celery salt and parsley, moisten with beaten egg and white sauce (see below) and shape into rolls four inches long.

Fill pans with the mixture, and cook fifteen minutes. MISS FIDELIA PERKINS. Pressed Beef. Use half thick flank, and half second cut off the neck. Boil until very tender, pick out all bones and gristle, and set aside to cool. When cold chop fine, season to taste with salt, pepper and ground celery seed. To each ten pounds of meat, add one pint of very dry bread or cracker crumbs rolled fine. The broth having become cold, remove all the grase. Heat the broth, strain to remove bones, and add sufficient to the meat to make it moist enough to pack smoothly. It should be prepared the day before wanted for use. Set on ice. Slice very thin. MRS. J. R. MOONEY. Corned Beef Pickle. One gallon water, one and one-half pounds salt, one-half pound brown sugar, one-fourth ounce salt petre. Be sure to keep meat under the brine. MRS. J. A. CLINGAN. Dainty Veal Steak. Cut veal steak in pieces large enough for each person. Have ready one egg well beaten and highly seasoned with pep- per and salt; also five or six crackers rolled, (not too fine). Dip veal in egg, first on one side, then on the other; repeat same process with cracker crumbs; then fry in butter and lard, which should be boiling hot when veal is put in. Cover closely at first. Let cook one-half hour, removing cover the last ten minutes. This is delicate as chicken. MRS. GEO. D. LOWRY.

Calf's foot or gelatine jelly, blanc mange, preserved lemon peel and egg shells. Color the jelly a bright yellow, by soaking dried saffron blossoms in the water; quarter the lemon rinds, trim all the white out of them, slice in long strips about the width of a straw, boil in water until tender, throw into a thick syrup, and boil until clear, then drain on a sieve. Make a good blanc mange, divide, color one-third pink with flavor or candy coloring, color one-third green with flavor or candy coloring, leave one-third white. Take as many eggs as you wish in the nest, make a hole in the large end of each, pour out the eggs, wash and drain the shells; set them in a basin of salt to fill, pour the blanc mange slowly through a funnel to avoid air bub- bles; set in a cool place to harden. When ready to serve break up the jelly and pie on a flat round dish. Shape the next by setting a deep bowl in the middle, and putting the jelly around it; let stand awhile, if the jelly seems inclined to fall in the nest. Scatter the lemon strips over the top and sides like straws; remove egg shells carefully from blanc mange, and fill the nest wtih them. Nests for one egg can be made by using a cup instead of a bowl, to mold jelly. MRS. LUCY PATTON. Remember, when you make cakes or any pastry, try SOUDERS' 10 cent Lemon and 15 cent Vanilla.

Hot, dry wheat bran in a flannel bag is an excellent appli- cation for lung or other trouble where wet poultices are not con- venient. Hot salt is always good. A cup of hot water taken four or five times a day is good in cases of la grippe. Have the water as hot as can be taken. A thin pillow of best cotton covered with cheese cloth and laid over the feather pillow is very restful to the sick. Also, to have pillows of different sizes for propping the shoulders and head is desirable. Gargle for Sore Throat. One teaspoonful of ammoniated tincture Guaiac in a cupful of hot milk. Gargle every hour, or every half hour. Keep the mixture hot. Will cure the worst case of sore throat. To Allay a Tickling Cough. One tablespoonful of ginger, two tablespoonfuls sugar, alum the size of a hazelnut, pulverized. Mix thoroughly and take one-fourth teaspoonful frequently till relieved. For a Cough. One pound of flaxseed, one-half pound rock candy; three lemons pared and sliced; over this pour two quarts boiling watear; let it stand till very cold. Strain before drinking. For cold in the head, ten drops of camphor in a half glass of water. Take dessertspoonful every twenty minutes.

Beat an egg until very light, add seasoning to the taste, and then steam until thoroughly warmed through, but not hardened; this will take about two minutes. An egg prepared in this way will not distress a sensitive stomach. Egg Appetizer. Into one-half glass of milk stir the well beaten white of an egg; then add juice of cherries or of other fruits for flavoring. This is nourishing, as well as palatable for the sick. Cherryade. Sweeten cherry juice to taste, boil and can. A teaspoon- ful in a glass of water is very refreshing and allays a cough. A Dish for Invalids. One-fourth pound best beefsteak; chop fine; season with pepper and salt more than for ordinary cooking; add in bits one teaspoonful butter. Place in a bowl over boiling teakettle; stir constantly till the blood is just set, which you can tell by its light color. If kept a moment too long, till the juice starts it will be hard and dry. It should be just hot, juicy and tender, and eaten at once. Cornmeal Gruel. To one pint boiling water add one tablespoonful of corn- meal, a pinch of salt, and boil twenty minutes. Gluten Bread. Make a stiff dough with flour and water using all the flour that can be worked in. Put the dough into a quantity of water, handling it over till all the starch is dissolved out, changing the water frequently. Salt the dough, by pulling and working in the salt. Have the oven very hot at first. Break off pieces the size of a hickorynut, place then a little apart in baking pan and bake. MISS HATTIE W. CURTISS.

Description An account of the resource [page 4] [corresponds to unlabeled page 4 of Fidelity Federal Savings and Loan 100 Years] IT BEGAN THIS WAY Since the beginning of time man has sought and found shelter for himself and his family. At first it was caves and tents. Then he made use of whatever native materials were available, such as sod, stones, skins and logs to fashion living quarters. In America, since pioneer banks loaned money only for commercial purposes, small groups of those hardy individuals discovered that by pooling their meager re- sources they could form a large pool from which participants could draw by lot for home loans. Repayment of such loans plus interest, at regular intervals, would keep the pool ac- tive and solvent. They further reasoned that for safety's sake, the pool's resources should be entrusted to an honest merchant who owned, or had available, a strong safe. Historians claim that the first society organized to assist working men to build or buy their own homes was for- med in Frankford, a Philadelphia suburb, in 1831. It was called the Oxford Provident Building Society. The first $500. saved was loaned, by lot, to Comly Read, a lamplighter. His house, now restored, still stands on Orchard Street as a me- morial to American thrift and ingenuity. Once the Delaware area became well-populated there was a need for financing home building and home purchasing. This situation led to the formation and chartering in February 1867 of Delaware's Building Association. It was organized by two of Delaware's leading citizens, J. D. Van Deman and C. E. Hills, who were successful in selling the necessary stock. This money was then auctioned off and went to bid- ders offering to pay the highest rate of interst. So success- ful was this operation that when their charter expired in 1874, the Association was liquidated to everyone's satisfaction. The Ohio Savings and Loan League has always maintained that this Delaware Building Association was Ohio's very first officially chartered savings and loan and honored it as such on February 22, 1967 with a commemorative centennial ceremony at the Delaware County Fairgrounds and a banquet that night in Columbus. In 1887 the Fidelity Building and Loan Company, now known as the Fielity Federal Savings and Loan Association, was organized. Webster defines the word FIDELITY as "care- ful observance of duty or discharge of obligations".

Description An account of the resource [page 5] [corresponds to unlabeled page 5 of Fidelity Federal Savings and Loan 100 Years] City and County, it may be truthfully said that Fidelity has lived up to the fullest meaning of its name and obligation. This history has been compiled to help commemorate and pre- serve those 100 years. Incorporation papers for the Fidelity Building and Loan Company were dated January 18, 1887, 100 years ago, and were issued by The State of Ohio. Historically speaking, Grover Cleveland, 22nd president of United State was mid- way into his first term. Joseph B. Foraker was Governor of Ohio. Delaware County had a population of 27,189 and Henri E. Buck was Mayor of Delaware, population 8,000. Incorpor- ators were H. J. McCullough, H. A. Welch, W. T. Gessner, J. D. Van Deman and B. W. Brown. Company officials were: Brown, president; May Frank, vice president; McCullough, treasurer; Van Deman, solicitor and C. O. Little, secretary. The board of directors, in addition to the aforementioned, in- cluded D. H. Battenfield, W. C. Jaynes, J. H. Smith and Professor J. H. Grove. During these early years there were nine directors. Capital stock was set at $400,000 - 2,000 shares at $200.00 per share. Members were assessed 25? for their passbooks. The first office was on the second floor of the Lamb's Block, northwest corner of Winter and North Sandusky Streets, above M. E. Wolff's Beehive Store (later the Boston Store, David's and presently Essentials). Also, on that second floor were other offices: Bale and Martin, In- surance; Central Union Telephone Company; J. H. Doughman, Attorney; and L. C. Valentine, Insurance. The directors' meetings were held monthly but during those formative years they seemed to meet weekly, mostly to resolve loan applica- tions, judging from the minutes. Mr. Little, the secretary, was paid $500.00 per year and the treasurer's annual salary was $100.00. Office rent was $32.50 per quarter. Check number 1 issued by Fidelity Building Associa- tion and Loan Company is still intact though faded and tat- tered. It was dated April 8, 1887, made out to R. W. Rey- nolds for $100.00, signed by H. J. McCullough, treasurer, and drawn on Deposit Banking Company. It was cashed on April 11, 1887. In their by-laws the Company stated its object in this manner: "The object of the Association is to raise money to be loaned among its members and depositors for use in buying lots, or in building or repairing houses, in holding, improv- ing and acquiring freehold property, or other purposes.

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

Description An account of the resource [page 7] [corresponds to unlabeled page 7 of Fidelity Federal Savings and Loan 100 Years] Van Deman was still president and solictor in 1898. By that time availability of money for loaning purposes had improved. Ads advising the public that they had "money to loan" were placed in The Delaware Gazette and The Delaware Herald on a continuing basis. The same leadership and ad- vertising campaign carried over into 1899. In a major reshuf- fling of offices within the same building, Fidelity moved into an office formerly used by Carper and Van Deman, attorneys. Rent was increased to $125.00 per year. To make the office more attractive nine new "Delaware Chairs" were purchased for $13.50 and a new railing was installed. Eighteen acres of Fidelity-held farm land at the north edge of town was sold to the Children's Home Board for $1,100. The directors re- quested and were given a listing of mortgages starting with 100 and ending with number 261 for a grand total of $148,800. Also a request for a listing of all 122 checks written to date was honored. The usual semi-annual dividend of 3 1/2% to stockholders was paid. Longtime director, businessman, Joseph C. Cox, died late in the year and was replaced by W. H. Hague. Thus ended Fidelity's portion of 19th century history. FORMATIVE YEARS 1900-1910 J. D. Van Deman was president of Fidelity in 1900 and he was followed in that office by C. E. Hills (1901-1906) and then by D. H. Battenfield (1907-1909). W. E. Moore was managing secretary until 1903 at which time Frank Wat- kins began his 32-year tenure in that capacity. Among the treasurers serving during that decade were: J. D. Van Deman, W. H. Hague and Robert Powers. Each of the following at- torneys: C. H. McElroy, W. J. Cone and J. H. Lytle were legal counselors for Fidelity within that time frame.

Description An account of the resource [page 8] [corresponds to unlabeled page 8 of Fidelity Federal Savings and Loan 100 Years] from $237,000 in 1906 to $225,000 in 1908. In 1900 the total amount paid in salaries was under $800. By 1909 this figure had increased to only $1,075. During those 10 years borrowing members increased in number from 100 plus to 200 plus; non-borrowing members held steady at approximately 140 while non-borrowing depositors jumped from a mere hand- ful in 1900 to nearly 300 in 1909. Loans were made at 6%; dividends held steady at 5%; and interest on deposits rated 4% and 5% during all ten years. (Since no minutes were available for this period, all facts and figures mentioned here were compiled from reports re- quired by and published by the State of Ohio.) A PERIOD OF STEADY GROWTH 1910-1920 Perhaps the most significant event of this ten-year period happened when, in 1911, the building at 46 North Sandusky Street was purchased for an office site at a price of $7,350. At that time it was occupied by C. D. Young, Jeweler, along with several rented upstairs offices. The following year, 1912, Fidelity, now well-established in the community, moved into its newly-acquired property. There it remained for the next 65 years. For all of these ten years D. H. Battenfield was pre- sident; Frank S. Watkins was secretary and manager and Rob- ert Powers was treasurer. James Lytle served as Fidelity's attorney from 1910 to 1914, at which time it became a joint position with Harry W. Crist. Assets grew from $270,590 to $977,947. Capital stock subscribed and in force went from $539,600 to $1,226,075. Officer's and employee's salaries rose gradually from $1,076 in 1910 to $3,265 in 1919. During each of these ten years, interest charged for loans was 6%; dividends were paid at 5% and interest on sav- ings accounts stayed constant at 4% and 5%. For the three years 1910-11-12 borrowing members numbered 225-233-257; Title A name given to the resource Fidelity Federal Savings and Loan Association 100 Years (p. 8) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/d8dde4efcc8521c8e290b7f38703e693.jpg cfce48dfe7b6f5a292d8f2736de9fdee Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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

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

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

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

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

Description An account of the resource [page 14] [corresponds to unlabeled page 14 of Fidelity Federal Savings and Loan 100 Years] visitations by board members to other savings and loan offices to study and observe their techniques. All of these ideas were eventually implemented and evidently worked because Fidelity's assets nearly doubled from 1945 to 1949. With but a few exceptions loans were in the 5-figure class and were made at 4% to 6%, depending on the amount borrowed. Interest was paid semi-annually and ranged from 2 1/2% down to a low of 1 1/2 as paid in 1949. That was the year Fidelity qualified to make FHA insured loans. At the outset, 1940, assets were $616,754.82 and at the end of 1949 they were up to well over a million dollars. On November 21, 1949 there was a full-page adver- tisement in The Delaware Gazette hailing Fidelity's 62nd Anniversary. It featured such things as individual pictures of all officers and directors; the safety record of its opera- tion; and the fact that they had plenty of money for borrow- ing purposes. In this same issue, on the front page, there was a news story announcing the fact that Delaware's only other savings and loan association was going out of business. Thus alertness was added to Fidelity's time-honored reputa- tion for caution and safety. A DECADE OF NORMALCY 1950-1960 The 1950s saw a decided increase in building, loan- ing and saving activity, with each year showing a substan- tial gain in dollars and customers. Both GI and FHA loans were on the upswing. For a short time there was no charge for appraisals, sort of a "special". Practically all loans were at the four and five figure level, carrying a rate of 5%- 6%, according to the amount of the loan involved. Interest being paid to savers varied from 2% to 3%. While appraisals started in the 1950s at no charge, that advantage was soon replaced by a $2.00 local and a $3.00 rural fee. By 1959 this charge was up to $10.00 flat, plus the legal fee. During these ten years the secretary- treasurer's salary increased from $3,180 to $6,300. His car allowance was increased from $50.00 to $70.00 a month.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Description An account of the resource [page 23] [corresponds to unlabeled page 23 of Fidelity Federal Savings and Loan 100 Years] HIGHLIGHTING THE EIGHTIES 1980-1986 In 1980 a revised sick leave plan was adopted. Un- solicited outside offers for possible mergers, a common ma- neuver of that day, were turned down. The usual donations to youth groups were made plus one to the Soil Conservation District. Pay raises were given to all employees. NOW accounts and roll over mortgages were introduced. An offer designed to relocate the branch office to a place inside the Buehler Store was also turned down. Loans were made at rates that fluctuated between 11% and 15%. Due to a rash of bank robberies in Columbus it was decided to install a camera in a strategic spot. Economic conditions influenced much of 1981 activity. The trend was toward shorter term, higher cost certificates of deposits and a greatly increased average of dividends paid out. Such a business climate re- quired not only caution but also constant reviews of the Association's investment portfolio. Interest charged on loans rose to as high as 18%. Second mortgages, up to 80% of appraisal value, not to exceed $45,000 and with a 10-year limit, were made available. The usual annual pay raises for all employees were granted. However, the directors and legal counsel, due to 1981's economic slowdown, decided to take cuts in their fees. Despite the slowdown, Fidelity's assets were up to over $27,000,000 as 1981 ended. During 1982 a third teller terminal was installed at the branch office. A great deal of discussion centered on possible restructuring of assets. IRAs were introduced. Interest on 30 month CDs was limited to 14%. Money Ma- ker accounts and 91-day CDs were authorized. Inquiries regarding possible mergers continued to surface. No inter- est in these mergers was shown. Salaries were increased. Considerable attention was given to proposed methods for disposing of low-yielding loans. With the office building now five years old contracts were awarded for painting and other exterior work. The year 1983 was ushered in with on- going discussions concerning possible consumer type lend- ing; a more aggressive mortgage lending policy and possible sale of certain low-yield mortgage loans. Changes were made in advertising agencies and in internal audit compan- ies.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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