Found comfortable rooms in a private home for them up town. Different people we talked with said we should go to the Indian powwow up the river a few miles. We had seen a number of Indian shows-mainly in Fla. which for the most part were more or less of a farce, but we went and were richly rewarded. The white chief surely knows how to stage a show. It was simply fine from start to finish. There were Indians from seven states- Mi.-Neb, Okla Kan, Iowa, Minn and California all dressed in their wonderful leather, head, feather etc took pickup We really were sorry when the show was over.

Title A name given to the resource The History of Galena, Ohio 1952-2022 (3) Description An account of the resource Introduction The early history of the Village of Galena was lovingly recorded in great detail by Doris Fuller Bricker. Her book, "Welcome to the village of Galena", covers the founding, early years, and up to the 1950's, just before the construction of Hoover Dam and Hoover reservoir. Copies of her work are available at the Galena Historic Foundation Museum. Topics in her book include a general history of Galena, its schools, homes, businesses, churches, the Galena Cemetery, area clubs and lodges. The Galena Historic foundation, organized in 2012, decided in 2022 that it was time to update the history of the village. Members of the Galena Historic. Foundation accepting this challenge were Mike Atkinson, John and Sharon Bland, John Bricker, Gene Fuller, Darrel Gagne, Forest Hale, Dave O'Neil, and Dixie Rice. This newer recording of Galena's history covers the years 1952-2022. We hope you enjoy our preservation of this information and that someday another generation of history lovers will follow in our footsteps and record the next seventy years of our beloved Galena's history. 3 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/9e40f058a2192786f8d88fead7fb1567.jpg c77e680bd05b7c754fd261201319d1fb Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource The History of Galena, Ohio 1952-2022 (4) Description An account of the resource Hoover Reservoir We begin our recorded history of Galena with the construction of Hoover Reservoir. It was built to meet the growing demand for water in Columbus, and the reservoir was viewed by many as simply a sign of progress. Beginning in 1952, the structure was completed and dedicated in 1955. A year later, the reservoir was full of water. These simple facts seem mundane and easily forgettable yet the reservoir would meet Columbus' expansion needs and be a wonderful recreational destination for boaters and fisherman. But behind the scenes of this major project, or more accurately, under the water, were a host of changes thrust upon the Village of Galena. These changes were not welcomed by everyone in Galena and several hundred residents were displaced. There were combined efforts by some of the local citizens to seek fair compensation for the soon to be flooded seven square miles of their land. Furthermore, the reservoir resulted in significant changes to Galena roads, businesses, wildlife, farmland, and ancestral burial sites. And so begins our recorded history of Galena. 4 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/c4a43895fb51ca42724660aeb9a50851.jpg f9817b8ebe0df628002c252246754162 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource The History of Galena, Ohio 1952-2022 (5) Description An account of the resource Hoover Reservoir Changed Galena's Town Square, Roads, and Bridges Hoover Reservoir significantly altered the creeks, bridges, roads, cemetery, businesses, and homes of Galena. The Little Walnut Creek widened immensely once the waters of Hoover filled in the reservoir. It is hard to imagine now, but you could leap across the creek in places before Hoover was built. Sometimes now, when the waters of the reservoir are low, you can still see the front steps of houses that used to be located close to the bridge over the Little Walnut Creek. The earth that was moved to make way for the expanding waters of the reservoir in that area, was then used to build up the high ground across from Dustin Road. A few of the homes now located on that hill were actually moved to this high, dry ground, sans their steps. Foundations of previous homes can also be found along the Weiss Road bike trail. And, if you stand on the Old 3C Bridge and look underneath it, you can see the old bridge abutment that was there before the elevation of the bridge was raised. The Big Walnut Creek changed very little with the advent of Hoover Reservoir. Its width did increase where it flows into the reservoir, but very little of the creek running along side the east side of the Village Square was altered. Old 3C Highway was also changed to make way for the waters of Hoover Reservoir. approximately one-third mile of Old 3C was slightly re-located within the Village limits, and its elevation was increased by twenty feet. This resulted in changes to the Village Square and to both bridges leading into and out of the Village. In fact, the Village Square was not square at all. It was shaped more like two triangles with a road through the middle until the reservoir was built and Old 3C was relocated. This new road configuration gave downtown Galena its square shape and also accommodated the relocation of the bridge going out of Galena towards Vans Valley Road. The old bridge abutment to Vans Valley Road can still be seen on the east side of the village square. This old Bridge led directly to Vans Valley Road without traveling on Sunbury Road like you need to do now. This section of Vans Valley Road was abandoned and the new bridge that was built lead directly to the newly relocated Sunbury Road as we know it at this time. 5 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/361783d441d9ed18e5aeadea23793ddc.jpg dadb9cdf291737b64a3cffe119871295 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource The History of Galena, Ohio 1952-2022 (6) Description An account of the resource Other roads in the village were vacated, some were relocated, and some ceased to exist entirely due to the accumulated water in the reservoir. Galena Carters Corners-Taylors Corners Road ran roughly parallel to the Little Walnut Creek on the west side before Hoover was constructed. It was not a paved road and was completely abandoned after Hoover was built. Replacing it, in a sense, was the new addition to Dustin Road which also runs parallel to the creek. The expansion of the Little Walnut Creek also resulted in changes to Galena's cemetery. Approximately three hundred graves were moved up the hill closer to Walnut Street. See the cemetery section of this book for more information. Water Street used to run straight over the Little Walnut Creek. It was reconfigured on the east side of the creek and turned sharply to become West Street. The old bridge abutments where Water Street crossed the creek are plainly visible. When Water Street crossed over the creek, it joined up with Dustin Road. Water Street was very narrow and you can still see old part of it on the west side of the creek, if you walk from the bottom of the bike trail on Dustin Road straight east toward the creek. Additional changes to to roads close to the Village Square also took place. Harrison Street at the time was called Sunbury Road on maps of the era, and it ran along the east side of the square and continued down along what is now the Village Coffee Shop and a few housed behind that business. This same section of toad was also called Yankee Street. The street ran out into what is now the reservoir. This portion of Sunbury Road/Yankee Street was vacated and relocated to make it possible for drivers to travel straight thru the downtown square, and continue on their way east on Sunbury Road as we know it today towards Vans Valley Road. Yankee Street ceased to exist in the Village and now only a portion of it remains off of Sunbury Road outside of the Village limits. Front Street, the "U" shaped street running along the Coffee Vault, around behind it, and then past the entrance to the Boardwalk, and continuing back to Old 3C, used to be more "L" shaped according to maps of the era. It is hard to determine where exactly the "L" came out on Old 3C. 6 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/6188093650bd62f9418f6f36d9219cdb.jpg d20fc7e4318d6e78ae30507f02abfe4e Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource The History of Galena, Ohio 1952-2022 (7) Description An account of the resource Finally, Park Street was named after Hoover was built. Although the north side of the square existed at the time, the "road" in front of the businesses there was not named on maps of the era. The east side of the square was changed the most due to Hoover Reservoir. Homes and businesses were located there. Today that area is a paved parking lot facing the Big Walnut Creek. The homes and businesses sat on stilts in the back due to the steep drop-off of the land toward the creek. The City of Columbus thought the stilts were too dangerous and were concerned about rising water levels, so they tore down all the buildings along the east side of the square. Some of the buildings lost were Virgil Kincaid's Hardware Store, Mae McMahon's Restaurant and Frank McMahon's Auto Repair Shop. 7 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/80d12e63c38c79f055ed90304a57ee28.jpg f881ee2e0d7e650f468ed69edd08d01d Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Hoover Reservoir changed the infrastructure of downtown Galena, and those changes are cited elsewhere in this book. Information on businesses in Galena pre-Hoover can be found in our museum. Here we will list the businesses that have made Galena their home from the 1960s to the present. Most addresses have housed more than one business, as the merchants and companies have continually changed to meet the needs of the Galena community.

Title A name given to the resource The History of Galena, Ohio 1952-2022 (14) Description An account of the resource The Galena Cemetery The cemetery in Galena is located on Walnut Street halfway between the village square and Route 3. As of this 2023 writing, there are over 1,800 graves in the cemetery. And like the other topics in this book, the construction of Hoover Reservoir even changed the cemetery. Almost three hundred graves* from the South Section, North Section, Brown's Addition, and the Oakdale Addition of the original cemetery had to be relocated further up the hill toward Walnut Street to allow for the expansion of water in Little Walnut Creek due to the dam. The cemetery is rich in military history. Veterans from every war/conflict in America's history are interred on the grounds at this time. In fact, the Galena Cemetery is the final resting place for ten Revolutionary War soldiers more than are in any other central Ohio cemetery of its size**. Veterans from the War of 1812, the Civil War, the Spanish American War, WWI, WWII, the Korean Conflict, Vietnam, and the Gulf War are also buried in the Galena Cemetery. The Oldest graves in the cemetery have birth dates within the mid to late 1700's. As in any old cemetery, some of the headstones have decomposed beyond recognition, and some graves never had headstones. Honoring our country's veterans has been a long-standing family tradition in Galena. The practice began with Civil War Veteran John H. Dustin placing a flag on Memorial Day on the grave of each veteran buried in Galena. Charlie Bricker, himself a veteran of WWI, helped decorate the graves with Mr. Dustin. A year before Mr. Dustin died he pleaded for a promise from Charlie to continue the tradition***. Charlie Bricker kept his promise and decorated the soldiers' graves up to the mid 1960's when the tradition was passed on to his son, Howard. Howard Bricker decorated the graves until his death in 2013 at which time his nephew , John Bricker, took over the responsibility. John is a founding member of Galena's Historic Foundation. A complete list of names of those buried in the cemetery, along with a compilation of obituaries, is available at the Galena Museum. 14 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/f048e3bff4c0d0739943d2307696c82f.jpg 5e2abf27f257bc872bc8b0bc5997fa49 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource The History of Galena, Ohio 1952-2022 (16) Description An account of the resource GALENA BRICK Galena's most well-known industry was the "brickyard." The brick plant operated for one hundred years and is the most significant business in Galena's history. Therefore, we will include some information on the brickyard prior to to the construction of Hoover Reservoir. Brick was first made in Galena around 1820 using clay found in local fields. The Nathan Dustin Home, currently the law offices on the village square, and the Galena Post Office were made from these bricks. Horses powered the rotary mixer for the bricks, and wooden molds were used to shape the bricks. The unfired bricks were stacked in specific patterns in tunnels to allow for maximum heat and airflow, and wood was burned for a week or more to fire and finish the brick. In 1893 the first Galena brick plant was built on Holmes Street on the northern edge of the village. The factory only produced brick in the summer. In winter production was focused on drain tiles. Wood fired bee-hive kilns were used to make both products. Clay for the bricks was found in back of the plant using a horse drawn scraper. The plant was literally a one horse operation. in 1924 Mr. B. L. Shultz discovered Bedford Shale on a farm near Galena. He experimented with mixing pulverized shale and discerned that the shale, when mixed with clay, formed a superior clay product. this let to his creating a new company. The Galena Shale Tile & Brick Company. A narrow gauge railway was built to access the "shale pit" which was located near what is now the Walnut Creek Sub-Division. A portion of the track of the dinky railway is now the bike development. The Galena Historical Museum has a piece of the Narrow gauge railway on exhibit. New kilns were built and the factory began to make building tile, drain tile, and brick year round. In 1935 the plant was destroyed by fire. A new plant arose quickly from the ashes and produced just one product, brick. In 1950 the plant was remodeled to to utilize the most modern method of brick production. 16 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/d0f518b9ded286b33aa5f2099f470528.jpg b98f7c12e24013ca32f3837de47362c3 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource The History of Galena, Ohio 1952-2022 (17) Description An account of the resource Just after Hoover Reservoir was built, the brickyard constructed a tunnel kiln in 1957 for use in the firing process. In the 1960's and 1970s, both cored and solid brick were produced. shale and fireclay brick were made to be exactly true and symmetrical. The bricks were produced in a variety of colors. Colonial style bricks were very popular in this time period, so the plant updated their operation to include a machine that pressed mixed clay and shale into wooden molds containing pockets for seven brick. One of these wooden molds can be found in the village museum. the manufacturing of these bricks required a lot of hand labor. In the early 1970's the plant resumed production, on a limited basis, of their hand made bricks. These bricks were much sought after for their longevity and strength. Ceramic surface bricks were also produces at this time. The colorful glazed bricks were requested by many national companies wanting their brick building to show their colors. The Galena Shale Tile & Brick Company produced over one million bricks a week for many years. It employed up to 125 people, many of whom spent their entire careers manufacturing brick. However, when the demand for brick fell in the early 1980's, the plant was closed. The company was auctioned off in July of 1983. Several million brick still remained on the property along with buildings, machinery, and other equipment. Frank Hopper, whose son Tom would later become Galena's longest serving mayor, bought the plant and the Hopper Family continued to operate it for a few more years. In 1995, the plant closed for good.

Title A name given to the resource The History of Galena, Ohio 1952-2022 (19) Description An account of the resource Galena Schools Galena's first school was a log cabin built before 1816 near what is now the Journey Church on the point in Galena. The building also served as a church. While constructing a new school in 1867, a prehistoric mound was discovered there. Many other fascinating details about the early school can be found in Doris Bricker's book "Welcome to the Village of Galena 1816- 1996". Copies of her book are at the Galena Museum. During the construction of Hoover Reservoir in the early 1950's, the Galena school was enlarged to include a locker room, a cafeteria, and more classrooms. The cupola on top of the original school was removed in 1951. Pictures of the original school building and the cupola are at the Galena Museum. Also in 1950, the school district made several changes involving their buildings and student re-locations. Galena high school students went to Sunbury High School. The next year they went to the then new Big Walnut High School. The Galena school continued to serve elementary students of various grades, with much shuffling of the children as students attended various schools in the district Grades on thru five attended school in Galena until 1978. Next, it was then used for sixth graders. In 1991, the building was remodeled and became the administration offices for the Big Walnut Local Schools. In April of 2013, the administrative offices at this location were moved, and the school building itself was auctioned off. Journey Church now owns and holds services and events at what was once the Galena School. *Much of this information comes from Polly Horn's article "Because You Asked....History of the Galena School Building" 19 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/dbfbfc46e836f3dc0936fe130c5c72a3.jpg 78a118d952ade2bbd0fa4aa6892a9534 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource The History of Galena, Ohio 1952-2022 (21) Description An account of the resource Galena Churches There were two churches in Galena at the time Hoover Reservoir was built. The Galena United Methodist Church and The Church of the Nazarene. For historical information on the Galena Museum's article entitled "Two Hundred Years as Methodists in Galena, Ohio" written by Galena resident and historian David Simmons. This is an excellent written history of the church and has a list of the church's ministers from 1807 to the present. The article also includes information from the mid-1950s until 2013. What follows is a very brief summary of the church since Hoover Reservoir was built. Shortly after Hoover went in, the Methodist church, which was located in what now is the Village Hall, collaborated with the recently formed Methodist Theological School in Ohio (Methesco) to serve as training site for student pastors for sever years,. In 1969, the fellowship hall and basement classrooms were expanded, and a new kitchen was built. The women's group of the church began selling wonderful meals on Election Day and a few other special occasions. Karen Debolt, Judy Denton, and Melinda Simmons organized many of these meals. This tasty tradition continues to this day. Additional remodeling of the church continued into the early 2000s. Many logistical concerns were examined at that time, and the decision was made to build a new worship center. Services began in July 2008 at their new site located at 2777 Sunbury Road. The old church building was purchased by the Village of Galena in the fall of 2012. At this time, it serves as the home for the local government offices and the Galena Historic Foundation Museum. The other church holding services in Galena in the mid-1950's was the church of the Nazarene. It had just moved to 217 Harrison Street and started planning to move to 127 Holmes Street. The church later moved to Sunbury. In the early 21st century, another church began to serve the Galena community. The Journey Fellowship Church worshiped first at the Big Walnut Intermediate. 21 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/534d71d55b27f0ed54f90280dcdc267d.jpg ca4acb813c8305c99a44928a7c1076de Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource The History of Galena, Ohio 1952-2022 (25) Description An account of the resource Galena, Ohio History of Trails Trails have always been an important part of Galena and the surrounding area. Centuries before the first explorers and trappers ever set foot in what is now Delaware County, Native Americans lived here. Over the years, several Tribes called this area home. Most of the Tribes did not live peacefully with other Tribes and wars took place usually over hunting grounds. Some Tribes formed alliances and merged to help protect each other's territory. Over time, trails and trade routes were established in order to make easier travel between villages. These trails usually followed existing animal trails that had been here for years. After the white explorers introduced horses to North America, these trails were improved to make travel much easier. When the early pioneers migrated west, they traveled the existing trails prior to roadways being constructed. In fact, many of our present day highways were built on the base of early Native American trails. When the first settlers arrived in what is now the Village of Galena Ohio, they discovered Indian Mounds or ceremonial earthworks in the area of the current Journey Church and Galena Village Hall. There were other nearby mounds as well. since these mounds were an important part of their religion, trails came thru Galena from all directions. After modern vehicles came along, walking trails were no longer popular, so many trails disappeared back into nature. In the last several years' bike and walking trails have become very desirable, with new ones being added each year. when many of the state's railroads were shut down, a group of bicycle enthusiasts saw an opportunity to turn these rail beds into bike and walking trails. The synopsis above and the information that follows was written and graciously supplied by former Galena Mayor Thomas Hopper and former Village Administrator Jeanna Burrell. These two individuals, along with the village Council, were leaders in the establishment of the present Galena Trail System we enjoy today. 25 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/f89c59459ece68fb1109b75e2ed19b45.jpg 4e46a820f7cc86fe191edba518ccd0c0 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Miller Memorial Park Walking Trail: Installed in 1997 in Miller Park, the park and trail are named after Mayor Donald Miller who served the village from 1984-1994. The western most section was rebuilt and replaced as part of The Galena Brick Trail Phase 1 project in 2016. The Walnut Creek Trail: the bridge and rail bed, originally built by the Galena Shale Tile & Brick company, were used to transport shale, for the making of brick, from the quarry east of Joe Walker Road to the company's manufacturing plant located on Holmes Street. The rail line was abandoned and removed in 1983. The original section of The Walnut Creek Trai was built by Maronda Homes as part of their construction of the Walnut Creek Subdivision in 2007. This section ran from just east of Big Walnut Creek to the eastern terminus of the trail at Joe Walker Road. In 2006, the former narrow gauge railway bridge over Big Walnut Creek and the rail bed west to Harrison Street/Old 3CHighway, were purchased with funding from the Ohio to Erie Trail Fund and Delaware County Friends of the Trail (DCFT) and donated to the village of Galena. The village then obtained grant funding with help from Delaware County Friends of the Trail to build a covered trail bridge using the original superstructure of the bridge. After changing the design to a non-covered bridge made of white oak timbers, the trail was constructed from the end of the Maronda Homes section to just east of Harrison Street. Funding was provided using a grant from the Clean Ohio Trail Fund (COTF), administered by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, with matching funds provided by the village of Galena and Delaware County of the trail. Paving of the Trail, including the rail bed opening under Old 3C Highway and connecting top Harrison Street. The trail was named The Walnut Creek Trail and the bridge was named Kane's Crossing, in honor of the reduced selling price contribution of the former owner, Robert Kane. The bridge and trail were opened with a ribbon cutting on August 29, 2010. The trail was originally to became a segment of The Ohio to Erie Trail due to opposition at the time for running the trail through Sunbury. The main route was later altered to go through Sunbury on the main rail bed. The Walnut Creek trail is now to to become part of a future alternate route. 26 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/54a5ee5149247104874fb5f8ac80d4a9.jpg 458182313ab4086d308adc07c58ff140 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Hopper Legacy Trail: a segment of the Ohio to Erie Trail: The trail was renamed from The Galena Brick Trail in November of 2019 to honor the former Galena Mayor's thirty-years of service to the village of Galena. The trail replaced, partially, the Hoover Scenic Walkway and was built in three phases. The Hoover Scenic Walkway: The trail was converted from the former Big 4 (later Penn Central then Conrail) rail bed in the late 1980's by Village Public Service Director John Bland, volunteers, and Village crews after the sale by Conrail. This trail went from Dustin Road to Walnut Street. It was later renamed and became a section of The Galena Brick Trail Phase 1 when work began on the upgrade to The Ohio to Erie Trail. The observation deck on the west side of Little Walnut Creek was added in 2002 on the base of the former railroad water tower by Bland and Village crews. This trail is not to be confused with The Hoover Scenic Trail opened in 2019, maintained by preservation Parks of Delaware County, on City of Columbus property, that runs from Wiese Road to Plumb Road. The Galena Brick Trail Phase 1: Ribbon cutting/opened October 26, 2014, for the section from Dustin Road, through Donald E. Miller memorial park, ending at Holmes Street. Spearheaded by former Galena Village Administrator Jeanna Burrell, the Village had received 2014 grant funding, but the initial bids came in too high and eventually the project was re-bid and extended to 2016. Included in this phase was the installation of a new wooden deck with safety railings on the unique and historic high bridge over Little Walnut Creek/Hoover Reservoir. The trail passes by a train themed playground in Miller 0park that recalls the history of the working rail line and the nearby site of the former Galena Brick factory. This section was built using a grant from the Clean Ohio Trail Fund, administered by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources with matching fund provided by the Village of Galena, Other groups such as Delaware County Friends of the Trail, the Delaware County Foundation, and individual donations. The Galena Brick Trail Phase 2: Opened November 2018, ribbon cutting ceremony April 13, 2019. This section runs from Holmes Street north to the northern line of property which had been donated to the village by Delaware County Friends of the Trail. They had purchased the property from The Galena Commerce Center using grant funding from The Ohio to Erie Trail Fund. This line is just east of the Heathermere Subdivision. This section was also built using a 27 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/eabda171c473b17a1b775f5f0cbcda6e.jpg 67d355ce83e6b1a0a41c887072f5e8d1 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The Galena Brick Trail Phase 3: Ribbon cutting ceremony November 9, 2019. This section runs from the end of Phase 2 north to the villages of Galena and Sunbury corporate limit lines. It connects there with The Sandel Legacy Trail, a segment of The Ohio to Erie Trail (formerly known as The Big Walnut Community Trail), owned and maintained by Preservation Parks of Delaware County. It also connects to a trail heading west, through the communities at Sunbury subdivision, to near Ohio State Route 3. Bids for Phase 3 came in underestimate and allowed for the construction of a connector trail from the main trail west to Zoar Street, south of Flintlock Drive. This section was also built using a grant from the Clean Ohio Trail Fund, administered by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. The land for this section was donated to the Village by the Arrowhead Lake Estates subdivision developers (also known as The Communities at Galena). Because the value of this donation was used as the "match" for the grant, no matching fund dollars were provided by the Village of Galena. The work of writing the grant applications for all three phases was done by former Village Administrator Jeanna Burrell. She also managed construction of the first two phases. Construction of Phase 3 was completed under the management of her successor, former Village Administrator Jeff White. Future trail plans, as of 2022: Village plans are for a trail to run through the Galena Commerce Center east to Harrison St./Old 3C Highway to connect The Thomas W. Hopper Legacy Trail/Ohio to Erie Trail to The Walnut Creek Trail. The granting of an easement for the land to construct this connection was agreed upon in 2019. This easement has not yet been recorded. Plans have been discussed with Preservation Parks of Delaware County and American Electric Power to connect The Walnut Creek Trail north along Big Walnut Creek as an alternate route where it will rejoin the Ohio to Erie Trail north of State Route 37. The village Master Plan of 2010 calls for all Village neighborhoods to be interconnected.

Children eagerly awaited George Hogg with his booming voice to shout "Listen Up" which meant it was time to listen to directions for the event. Later, David Simmons would get everyone's attention with the aid of a megaphone when starting the fun. Per the aforementioned instructions, groups were led down the hill according to their age: First - Children under four, with parents Second - Children under four without parents Third - ages five thru seven fourth - ages eight thru ten Children eleven to fourteen are given special instructions for the treasure hunt. Each age group has a roped off section in the park where they line up until they receive the "GO" signal. Each group has one prize egg, and the person finding it receives a large Easter basket full of goodies. After all eggs have been accounted for, volunteers walk around with baskets of eggs to make sure every child has plenty. There are also boxes of small toys for each age group so that each child can pick one present. Ages five to ten also participate in a candy and coin toss. Some years there have been games for the eight to ten year olds to win prizes. The scavenger hunt first started with the older children following clues to find silver dollars hidden within the Village. Parents were concerned about their children running throughout the Village, so it was decided to move the scavenger hunt to the park. Wooden paint stirrers were painted green and stuck in the ground in a section of the park. Finders of the sticks were rewarded with a dollar coin. In the 1970s and early 1980s only hard-boiled colored eggs donated by village residents were the objectives of the Easter Egg hunt.

There was also a bounce house, face painting, and carnival games. The ice cream socials were always a good time for the community with neighborly conversations and free ice cream. Canoe Races Canoe races were held in Galena in 1969 and 1970. The races started at Ruffner Park on Big Walnut Creek and ended at the bridge abutments on Little Walnut Creek at Water Street. The categories were: Senior Class (17 years and older). Junior Class (12 to 16 years old), Couples (two canoers 16 years and older, or one canoer 16 and older and one canoer over 21). A special kayak race was also held for those fourteen and older. In 1969 fifteen teams were entered in the qualifying races over a two and one- half mile course. Trophies were awarded to: Guy Fotsythe and Dave Bond for winning the first heat, Randy Borden and Tom Carr for winning the second heat, and Bon McElfresh and Ron Barrett for winning the third heat. Tom Carr and Randy Borden later won the Championship race with a time of 47:37:8 minutes over a seven and one-half mile course. Margie and Dave Potts of Galena won the couple class. Due to liability concerns 1970 was the last year of the canoe races. Softball/Baseball Ruffner Park's ball diamond has hosted many ball games through the years. In 1967, John Bland and his cousin, Larry Rood, played slow pitch softball in Columbus and Westerville leagues. They convinced some teams to come to Galena and join other Big Walnut area teams to form a league with John Bland as Program Director. League Directors over the years were George Hogg, Earl "Butch" Feazel, Dan Conner, Mark Matthews, and Dan Griffith. The league grew from eight teams in 1968 to 24 teams in the 1980's. There were nightly leagues Monday thru Thursday and in 1980 the teams were: 35 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/85401f0a34960508894953b52417d172.jpg 77c7ed6bf595bd54583a04ac93b0a9ac Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Oakie and Bea Potts, who lived across the street from the ball diamond, started a refreshment stand which was later run by Elaine Bland, Adam Shivers, and some other local teens as a way to make some money. The Delaware County EMS had a squad stationed at the brick building (now Village maintenance building ) in the park so emergency help was readily available. In the 1990's Jeff Dutiel, a coach with the Columbus Sharks, started using the diamond and worked tirelessly over five years to get donations and materials to Refurbish the field. USSA League Boys Pony Baseball and Big Walnut Junior Baseball helped with these endeavors. In November, 2004 the Village Council voted to name the ball diamond Jeff Dutiel Field, recognizing his hard work on the diamond and in organizing local baseball and softball games. Summerfest Summerfest was organized by the Greater Galena Civic Association. The first year for the festival was 2009 to celebrate Galena's Bicentennial. The Festival was held annually through 2021 except for the years 2010 (bridge replacement) and 2020 (Covid). Admission was free and there were arts and crafts, good food, musical entertainment, a beer garden, Galena Parks and Historic wagon tour, Osprey and Chimney Swift viewing, a Kid's Zone that included Pony rides, Bounce Houses, balloon sculptures, free caricature drawing, and a reptile show.

There was an emergency center station behind Journey Fellowship and parking shuttles from the Sunbury Christian Church, Galena Methodist Church, Big Walnut Middle School, Big Walnut Elementary, and the Galena parking lot on North Walnut Street. The event raised money for improvements to the Galena parks and cancer research. Many volunteers and donations from local businesses and individuals made the first year a success. Halloween Halloween has always been an entertaining time in Galena. Trick or Treat usually ran from 6:00 to 7:15 p,m, and the annual costume contest, with doughnuts and cider for all, started at 7:30 p.m. In the 1970's the party was held in the first Municipal Building, which is now the village maintenance building located at 170 Harrison Street. In 1980, the event was moved to the shelter house in Ruffner Park. Since 2014 the contest has been held in the village Hall. The contest was judged by age groups and there was also a group theme award. First, second, and third place winners were selected by impartial volunteer judges. Each winner received a ribbon. All contestants received a participation gift.

The Zoar Rebekah Lodge No. 887 of Galena also gave a bag of candy to each participant. Tree Lighting Up until 1983 the tree on the village square was decorated by the Village Maintenance Department. The last person known to decorate the tree before 1983 was Walter "Red" Goodrich, who had his granddaughter, Andrea Zistl Bennett flip the switch to light the tree. Mr. Goodrich also served as the Village Marshall and was appointed to that position on February 1, 1954 Mary York, wife of Mayor York, suggested in 1983 that the Village have an annual celebration where the residents come together for the tree lighting. This tradition continues to this day. David Simmons had led the community tree lighting celebration since 1983. He leads attendees through a program of songs, candle lighting, and stories. Many residents, church members, and the Big Walnut Elementary Chorus, and Big Walnut Community Chorus have volunteered to help with the festivities. After the tree lighting program, everyone was invited to adjourn to the Delaware County Bank on the square (now the Madison Yoder Accounting Firm) for hot chocolate and cookies donated by Village residents. The use of the Delaware County Bank was made possible by its employees, Cindy Shivers and David Noll. Martha "Jen" Lee passed out ornaments that she made every year from 1991 until 2010. The Village now provided ornaments annually. John Bland, Bland company, decorated the tree from 1987 until 2004 Terry Thompson in memory of his father-in-law, Don Gibson. Mr. Gibson was a Village Council Member who passed away from cancer in 1987. In 2014 Journey Fellowship started the tradition of holding an open house in the Church Sanctuary for one hour before the Tree Lighting Program.

Children would give Santa their lists and he would give them a sack of candy with a small toy inside. A photographer was always present to capture the holiday moment. After the children's visit, Santa would take bags of candy to the home of the elderly in the Village. In 2004, a petting zoo was set up beside the Municipal building. Other years, if the weather cooperated, there would be a wagon ride around the downtown. In 2014, Santa Claus's visit was combined with the Village's Tree Lighting Program and Journey Fellowship's open house. Galena Parks Galena is fortunate to have two lovely developed parks in the Village and two more designated park lands awaiting development. Ruffner Park and Miller Park are the established parks. The undeveloped park lands are 1) adjacent to The Big Walnut Creek and 2) within the Arrowhead Lake Estates subdivision. The park in Arrowhead Lakes is already named after John Bland founding member of the Historic Foundation. John has a long history of serving the Village in an official capacity and has worked on just about every home and business in the older section of the Village. Ruffner Park, on the Harrison Street, contains 5.38 acres and was dedicated on October 15, 1941 as Galena's new community playground and roadside park. It was named in honor of J. Morgan Ruffner, wo was the Superintendent of the Galena School at the time of his death. (He was struck and killed by a Columbus bound Pennsylvania railroad freight train on December 30, 1938. According to reports, he attempted to stop his car on icy pavement and the car slid onto the track in front of the train.) 40 40 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/55db9e815e39f8177bcc22b3141cb3f3.jpg 832f0784dd84d12353a32a556f629f65 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource The History of Galena, Ohio 1952-2022 (41) Description An account of the resource Ruffner Park has been the sight of many softball/baseball games, Easter Egg Hunts, Halloween Parties, and many other community activities over the years. Ruffner has a shelter house which was completed in 1979 with the help of CETA (Comprehensive Employment and Training Act), a federal jobs program. In November 2004, the Village Council voted to name the ball diamond at Ruffner Park the Jeff Dutiel Field in recognition of his passion for the sport and his maintenance of the ball field. Miller Park is located in the center of the Village and can be accessed from Walnut, Holmes, or Harrison Streets. The Village of Galena purchased 2.9 acres in October 1986 from R. Bruce Mac Dannald and his wife Rosalie M. McDannald for the new park. It was referred to as Water Tower Park at that time. On January 12, 1995 Louise Fissel deeded another .21 acres to the Village increasing the total park area to 3.11 acres. Playground equipment, a basketball court, and a public walking path were added to the park later. In 1995, the park was officially named the Donald E. Miller Park in honor of Mr. Miller who served as Village Mayor from 1984 until his death in 1994. In 2017, Boy Scout Troop no. 387 installed a park bench in memory of Sally Hopper. Sally was the wife of long-time Tom Hopper, and she also served as the Village Zoning Clerk for almost thirty years. Their son, Andrew, built a chimney swift tower in the park for his Eagle Scout project in 2015. The equipment in the playground has been updated/changed over the years with the train theme being very popular. At the time of this writing, plans are underway to replace all the playground equipment at Miller Park to make it ADA compliant and inclusive for all members of the community. 41 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/2ad077b4b3ae4de23ba2bdc1e0c28cc0.jpg 8083e5da12644baad4fb8505c811fadd Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource The History of Galena, Ohio 1952-2022 (44) Description An account of the resource BIRDING Galena is a well known as a birder's paradise, and the Hoover Reservoir is a major reason why. When the water level in the reservoir drops in the fall and winter, newly exposed mudflats in Galena serve as a migratory rest stop for many song and shore birds. The stopover is a part of the North American Flyway to Lake Erie. Numerous types of birds can be seen in Galena, and among the most interesting are Ospreys, Eagles, Prothonotary Warblers, Herons, Egrets, and Chimney Swifts. Osprey nesting platforms were built in the reservoir in the late 1990's by Dick Tuttle and Dick Phillips. The platforms can be seen from the boardwalk in Galena, when open, or from the Columbus Parks and Recreation Department's Area N, just off Front Street. Ospreys are sometimes referred to as fishing hawks, and Hoover Reservoir is an ideal location for them. Eagles are also found in the area and can be seen from the Galena boardwalk, the bike path over the Little Walnut Creek, and several other locations. Galena is also know world-wide for the extremely successful reintroduction of Prothonotary Warblers here. Charlie Bombaci has built over three hundred nest boxes in the area for the warblers. Herons and Egrets abound in the reservoir and mudflats. Their presence has increased greatly in Galena since the building of Hoover Reservoir. Chimney Swifts are also found in Galena. These birds roost in open chimneys, and in summer and fall, the chimney at Galena's Village Hall can attract thousands a night. Watching them form their tornado vortex and descend into the chimney is truly a remarkable sight to see. Another open chimney tower can be found on the west side of Miller Park. This tower was built by Andrew Hopper in 2015 as his Eagle Scout project. (The Galena Historic Foundation would like to thank Jeanna Burrell, President of the big Walnut Nature Club, for sharing her birding knowledge with us for this section of our book.) 44 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/560682babce61cf83a562a7ca10d2fe8.jpg 9a40a72d43ddae1815decb3710a89cf7 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource The History of Galena, Ohio 1952-2022 (46) Description An account of the resource Galena's Water and Sewer Systems For years, Galena residents got their water from private and public wells, and cisterns. Around the time Hoover Reservoir and Dam was put in, the Village started to plan for the provision of its own water system. An Ordinance was passed, dated May 15, 1954, a $43,000.00 bond was assessed for the project. On November 7, 1955, Ordinance No. 146 was passed to establish a Board of Trustees of Public Affairs as the governing body for the Water Department. Council elected Ellsworth Bennett as the first President, with Orville Ryder and Charles Plummer as trustees. Mr. Ryder resigned, and Richard Beaver was appointed as his replacement. On July 25, 1957, Horn and Jones Contracting Company of Lebanon, Ohio won the bid to construct the new water system. On September 9. 1957, Charles Plummer was appointed Water Superintendent. He resigned in October, 1959, and Bruce McDannald was appointed as the new Water Superintendent. Ray Mackley was appointed to the position in December, 1962, and served in this capacity until his death on March 25, 1965. In June 1965, K.W. Diehl was named the new Superintendent that same month and ran the Water Department until the system was sold to Del-Co Water for $165,000.00 on August 22, 1994. Improvements were made to the water system over the years including: drilling for a second well, installing in-ground meters for individual properties, and doubling the size of the original plant. In the fall of 1987, the water storage tank (standpipe) was moved to a new location in Miller Park because of leakage in the bottom of the tank. Because the Village now gets its water from the Del=Co Water Department, the old Galena water storage tank was dismantled in March, 2023. Construction of the first sewer system for the Village started on April 24, 1995. The new system replaced the septic tanks used in the village. The plant was dedicated on December 4, 1995 and named after Donald E. Miller, Mayor of Galena from 1984 to 1994. 46 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/cc75fec6c2d7bb19984ec87edbd95590.jpg 12ef6a67582178af5a754d22642b3749 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

These clubs are the Odd Fellows Lodge, the Rebekahs, the Woman's Advance Club of Galena, and the G & T Club. Read on for a brief history of each of the clubs. More information on the clubs can be found in the museum. Odd Fellows Lodge The Triple Links, a recurring symbol among Odd Fellows internationally, connoting the motto of "Friendship, Love and Truth" As reported by Doris Bricker in her book "Welcome to the Village of Galena". The Galena Lodge #404 I.O.O.F. at Galena, Delaware County, Ohio was duly instituted on July 22, 1868. The building built in 1826 at 34 Park Street on the square in Galena became their meeting place. In January 1877, Galena Independent Order of Odd Fellows #404 purchased the building, later the first floor was rented out for the Galena Post Office and the second floor became the meeting place for the Odd Fellows and the Zoar Rebekah Lodge #887. The Galena Odd Fellows had many members through the years and met regularly. However, in 1978, Howard L. Bricker, Noble Grand, sent a letter to Charles R, Carter, Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge, asking for permission to sell the building to the Zoar Rebekah Lodge #887. In his letter, he said that the men's lodge was not defunct but small. He reported that there was a loan on the building for repairs but that more money was needed. The Rebekahs were willing to buy the building, take over the debt and borrow ore money for repairs. The approval for sale did not come until 1984. From 1978 until 1984, both the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs used the building for meetings. The property finally transferred on April 1, 1984, for 3,000.00, the amount needed to reimburse the Odd Fellows for repairs. 48 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/1cf4d18d063b19745275459768046dcd.jpg 41f446f960bca23892f3502c1fac3222 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Zoar Rebekah Lodge #887 The Rebekahs, also known as the International Association of Rebekah Assemblies, and originally the Daughters of Rebekah, is an international service oriented organization and a branch of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows (I.O.O.F.) Zoar Rebekah Lodge #887 was instituted January 26, 1948, by the grand Lodge of Ohio, with thirty-two women (to be known as Sisters) and five men (to be known as Brothers) taking the Pledge of Odd Fellowship, which is as follows: We, whose names are hereto subscribed, agree to abide by the Constitution and By-Laws of the Rebekah Lodges adapted and approved by the Grand Lodge of Ohio, as it now is, or may be hereafter legally amended. The Brothers that were initiated on the date of January 26, 1948 resigned from the Rebekah Degree on January 1, 1950. The building at the corner Middle Street and Park Street in Galena was owned by the Galena Odd Fellows, Lodge #404 until April 1, 1984, when it was deeded over to the Zoar Rebekah Lodge #887, by the Grand Lodge of Ohio. The Rebekahs place flags in Memoriam on the graves of deceased members buried in the Galena Cemetery on Memorial Day every year. Today the Zoar Rebekah Lodge #887 has eighteen members, solely women. Meetings are on the first and third Mondays of each month at 1:30 in p.m. in the Lodge Hall.

Title A name given to the resource The History of Galena, Ohio 1952-2022 (50) Description An account of the resource Woman's Advance Club of Galena On November 10, 1898, the Women's Advance Club of Galena was organized and Federated. Mrs. Davis "Grace" Dyer brought up the idea and called together three of her friends: Mrs. Dora Griffith, Mrs. Bertha Campbell, and Mrs. Mary Bennett to start the Club. They worked out a plan and invited twenty more people (mostly Episcopalian women, the Predominant church at that time) to participate. Initially, they wanted to have more members, but twenty-four was the limit. Members pledged to be loyal to the Club as long as they were able to participate. The Club's programs were always well planned, both musical and literary. At that time, many members were excellent musicians. Miss Jessie Curtis and Mrs. Lucy Hughes Curtis were accomplished pianists, and Miss Sarah Sallie Johnson had a beautiful soprano voice. The meetings always included current local events and topics of state and federal note and many fun things. They had an annual banquet for husbands, which was always regal. For the 80th anniversary on November 10, 1978, Hortense Dyer, daughter of the Club's founder, was the speaker for the meeting. The oldest members present were Mrs. Alga Grove from Center Village and Mrs. Grace Foster from Westerville. Both were in their nineties. Marie Johnson also attended from Dayton. In 1991, Carolyn Cooperider was the youngest member of the Club, 5th generation to Mrs. Mary Bennett, one of the founders. Helen Campbell was the first Club baby. The members were always elite. When Marcella Palmer Tarbutton was four, she learned her first society manners by passing the finger bowl. The Club met once each month for lunch at a place designated by the hostess. The 100th anniversary of the Women's Advance Club of Galena was held on Thursday October15, 1998, at 7:00 p.m. at Galena United Methodist Church. Virginia Ihle was the President, Phyllis DeVore was the Vice President, Margaret Feazel was the Recording Secretary, Pat Reed was the treasure and Violet Miller was in charge of Entertainments. A lack of membership resulted in the Club ending a few years later. 50 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/fa00cd353ecb0af647fcb0f57132d9af.jpg 567bacd2d2f760a2e99bfcae8d06dbd7 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource The History of Galena, Ohio 1952-2022 (51) Description An account of the resource G & T Club (Give and Take Club) In 1914, a group of young ladies decided to form a club - just a friendly and sociable get together for sewing and needlework enthusiasts. The charter members were Myrtle Smythe, Leta Lides, Hazel Reed, Mae Mc Mahon, Bess Hoy, Esther Van Fleet, Clara Van Fleet, Ethel Hancock, Clara Hancock, Kate Gabriel, Florence Hancock, Anabelle Smythe, and Lucy Work. They met every two weeks. Literary work was added in the 1920's, and that time a Club Constitution was written. The club sponsored the placing of the WWII memorial on the Galena Square, which was dedicated on July 4, 1945. To cover the cost, club members solicited money from business places, individuals, a public auction (on the Galena School playground), and a Sally Flowers (local TV celebrity) program followed by a cake auction in the school. Members in 1945 were Maud Barcus, Elsie Bennett, Doris Bricker, Louise Cooley, Emma Louise Evarts, Louise Fissel, Hetty Harroun, Luella Kinzt, Kathleen Lehman, Lille Shaw, Betty Sheward, Maud Shoaf, Esther Shultz, Iva Souders, Jane Walker, and Ola Zimmerman, They filled the urns with flowers on the village Square every Memorial Day and placed a wreath at Christmas. In the 1953-1954 year, the meetings change to once a month in the evening because so many members worked. Over the years the members have traveled to many places and enjoyed each other's company, interesting programs, good food, friendship, and fellowship. Through the years, there have been generations of members. Edith Roof was one of the first to have a daughter join, Barbara Goodrich. In 2017, Barbara Goodrich's daughters Bev Zistl and Liz Thornton are members. The final get together of the G & T Club was a dinner meeting held at Red Lobster restaurant in Columbus, Ohio, in March of 2020. Members present were Melinda Simmons, Beverly Zistl, Liz Thornton, Kathy Chandler, Joan Groom, and Barb Lesieur. the Galena Historic Foundation has many of the records of the Club's programs and minutes through the years. 51 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/95fbe568256d5b719c221b39047ced3a.jpg cebd1624325cb0431173e89732205c12 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource The History of Galena, Ohio 1952-2022 (52) Description An account of the resource Galena Police and Fire Department Walter Goodrich was Village Marshall at the time Hoover Reservoir was constructed. He served in this role until Galena's first Police Department was organized in early 1972. The initial officers were Dave Potts, Charles Chandler, Paul Preece, Verle Potts, and Bob Tschakert. Jesse Richardson was added to the Force in 1982. From 1984 until 1988 a number of individuals patrolled Galena serving as police officers, auxilary officers, provisional officers, and part time weekend officers. These public servants were: Jesse Richardson, Bob Tschakert, Alva Lundy, Ken Frazier, Henry Friley, Eugene Hogg, Kevin Campbell, Chester Wilson, Ronald Moore, Paul David Bagley, Joseph Evans, Karen VanNess, William C. Fergus, Beverly Adair, Dan Leisure, William Ray Perry, Larry Lee Kauffman, and Mike Decker, Officer Decker served the village from early 1989 until the fall of 1996 when the force was disbanded for financial reasons. Photos of these individuals are on display in the Village Museum. The Delaware County Sheriff's office and The Sunbury Police also served Galena during these years. In the late 1990's, the Village of Galena contracted with the Sunbury Police Department for law enforcement coverage. This arrangement was never permanent, so the Village resorted to using the Delaware County Sheriff's Office, who patrol Galena to this day. Currently, there has been some discussion about reinstituting Galena's own police department. While Hoover Reservoir was being built, Galena had its own all-volunteer fire department which was organized on April 5, 1954. A fire truck and a tank truck were acquired and housed at the Village's 170 Harrison Street building. This same small building housed council chambers and the village maintenance department. On October 1, 1980, The village of Galena Council passed Resolution 706 which was an agreement with the Trustee of Berkshire Township, the Village of Sunbury, and the Trustees of Trenton Township to create a fire department known as the B.S.T. & G. Fire Department. The governing body of the department consists of one elected official from each or Village. B.S.T. & G. continues to serve Galena and is expanding its coverage area at this time. 52 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/fbd65781653710587eb51dcd34d82d34.jpg c2a69fa1c2a4abb86f77c98458cdcef7 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource The History of Galena, Ohio 1952-2022 (53) Description An account of the resource Galena Railroad People Frequently inquire about trains in Galena. Trains ran through the Village for over one hundred years, and though their history has little to do with Hoover Reservoir, the public curiosity deserves a few answers in our book. In May 1873, the tracks for the Cleveland, Mount Vernon, and Columbus Railroad line were nearing completion in Galena. On September 1 of that same year, passenger and mail trains started running along the line through Galena. the name was later changed to the Columbus, Akron, and Cleveland line. Water for the train came from the Little Walnut Creek at the site of the current overlook on the bike trail between Walnut Street and Dustin Road. Galena's first depot was completed in 1873, but it was destroyed by fire in 1898. As soon as possible, a passenger car was adapted to serve as the depot and office. The citizens of Galena strongly voiced a desire for a new depot, and on April 27, 1899, ground was marked off for the facility. Sherman Bolton and D.C. Lawson, a carpenter, started construction. The new depot was constructed where the parking lot now sits beside the Galena Cemetery. Seventeen loaded freight cars were involved in a train derailment in the Village on August 10, 1956. Use of the Galena railroad tracks was so infrequent by January, 1983, that Conrail approved abandonment of the line. The last rain came through the village in 1983, and the railroad tracks were pulled up in 1986.

The village stayed this size for pretty much the rest of the twentieth century. Slow and consistent growth and development increased the size and population of Galena in the twenty-first century. The homes in Heathermere (51 lots) were approved in 2002. In 2005 the Estates at Blackhawk (69 lots) were planned. The Walnut Creek sub-Division (33 lots) and the Miller Farms development (367 lots) were both approved in 2007. The Miller Farms development has yet to be built. After a lull in development, in 2017 two more subdivisions were approved: Retreat at Dustin (120 Units) and Arrowhead Lake Estates (142 units). arrowhead has yet to be built. Other existing homes around Galena have been annexed into the Village. Finally just a few years ago, the Communities of Galena Sub-Division was built by Pulte Development. The growth of Galena has been a controversial subject for years. Some residents oppose all new growth, while others support carefully planned growth. Our Village is located in south-east Delaware County - the hot spot for growth in this region, especially due to the building of the new Intel Plant which is expected to be operational in 2025. 54 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/1e18f18960eee17c5338467ae02ea8a7.jpg 4a9a5dd0d7368faeecba0b99479d8d65 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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!

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.
