Description An account of the resource [page 1] [corresponds to first page of THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME SUNBURY] The Origin of the name Sunbury -and its application to- The Village of Sunbury, Delaware Co., Ohio A compilation of information related thereto by Carleton S. and Dorothy D. Burrer, Sunbury, Ohio. Prepared, September 1975. From time to time, individuals interested in the history of Delaware County, Ohio, have inquired as to the derivation of the name 'Sunbury' and where it originated. One request for information came by letter addressed to our late Postmaster, Mr. Hoyt G. Whitney, from Mr. Rudolph F. Bluedorn, of Wolcott, Iowa. This was turned over to Mrs. Dorothy D. Burrer, Librarian, Community Library, Sunbury, for investigation and reply. The question was also posed by the late Rev. Harry F. Truxall as a part of research he was conducting, for inclusion in an historical sketch being prepared, concerning this area. Most recently, inquiry has been received from Kelsie B. Harder, of American Name Society, The State University College, Potsdam, N. Y. No doubt, this question has arisen in the minds of others interested in such matters. It may very well be that the origin and/or derivation of the name, and its relationship to our town of Sunbury, has already been positively established by others. Nothing other than the following interpretation is in evidence, however, to our knowledge. Credit is given, of course to William and Lawrence Myers, two brothers who came to Delaware County, Ohio, from the Forty Fort-Kingston area of the Wyoming Valley, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. They came as young men from their home on the Susquehanna River, purchased farm land here and platted it into a Town, giving it the name Sunbury, the effective date of record being November 9, 1816. Considerable, well documented information has been already presented in a very complete and intelli- gent manner, in verification thereof. Much painstaking and thorough research has been tabulated by competent historians and geneologists. Publications are readily available in local libraries and Historical Societies relating thereto. Not a great deal has been published, however, and therefore it is not generally realized, that the name 'Sunbury' had been established in Delaware County, Ohio, before William and Lawrence Myers came to the area. The original County Commissioners Journal reveals that, on February 10, 1808, Delaware County was set off from Franklin County, by act of The Ohio Legislature, and it was directed that on the first Monday, May 1808, there was to be an election held to elect Commissioners and other County Officers. The Act authorized Associate Justices, Moses Byxbe, Thomas Brown, and Josiah McKinney to divide the County into Townships. They divided it into three:- Berkshire, Radnor, and Liberty.

Description An account of the resource [page 2] [corresponds to page 2 of THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME SUNBURY] The Commissioners Court then, on June 15, 1808, formed Marlborough Township and on June 16, 1808, the Delaware Township. The latter having been designated as location (temporary) of the County Seat. Also, on June 16, 1808, the Commissioners formed Sunbury Township, which encompassed, all the balance of the County not previously laid out. Sunbury Township, when originally formed, consisted of what is now Harlem, Trenton, and Porter Townships and the east one-half of Kingston, Berkshire, and Genoa. On the north, it included all the area east of Marlborough Twp. i.e., what is now Bennington, Harmony, Peru, and Lincoln Townships of Morrow County; having as the northernmost border, the Indian (Greenville) Treaty Line, east to its junction with the eastern line of Delaware County. Berkshire Township, prior to 1808, was a part of Sharon Township in Franklin County, Ohio, and its boundaries had changed from time to time. By the efforts of Major Brown, it was then organized to include parts of what is now, Brown, Kingston, Berlin, and Orange Townships, and the west half of Genoa and the present Berkshire Township. It was stated to have been named 'Berkshire' because Major Brown and Col. Byxbe had come from Berkshire County in Massachusetts. The boundaries of the original Township of Sunbury are set forth in the early record and can be easliy drawn upon a copy of the 1849 Delaware County map, by following the detailed description set forth in Commissioners Journal No. 1. The resulting lines reveal Sunbury Township to be the largest individual portion of the County as then partitioned. Note:-The Individuals named above as Associate Justices, vis., Col. Moses Byxbe, Major Thomas Brown, and Judge Josiah McKinney; to divide the County, are taken from the History of Delaware County (Baskin) page 210. Commissioners Journal No. 1, from 1808-1822 indicates the Board of Commissioners consisted of John Welch, Ezekial [underlined] Brown and Avery Power, with Nathaniel W. Little appointed Clerk. The names and requested boundaries of these various Townships were by petition presented by certain individuals, i.e., On June 15th 1808- "A petition was this day presented by Nathaniel Wyatt and others, praying for a new township by the 'Name & Stile' of Marl- borough, of the following boundaries," etc. Regarding the establishment of Sunbury Township, the following is stated:- "Resolved by the Board of Commissioners that all the tract or part of the country [letter 'r' underlined] (?) within the following boundaries be created into a distinct and separate Township by the Name & Style of Sunbury to wit; beginning at the North East corner of Section No. 2 of Township No. 5 & Range 17 of the United States Military Survey, thence south with said line to the South line of the County, thence North with Said County Line to the East Line of Said County, thence North with Said County Line to the Indian Boundary Line, thence Westerly with said Boundary Line to the East Boundary of Marlborough Township, thence South with Said Boundary line to the South East corner of said Township, thence East to the place of beginning. The same is therefore Erected into a separate and distinct Township". There is no indication as to by whom the name of the Township was suggested.

Description An account of the resource [page 3] [corresponds to page 3 of THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME SUNBURY] For proper orientation it is advisable to interject a bit of personal history of certain influential settlers who must have been concerned at the initial erection of these townships in the new County of Ohio. From the 'Shoemaker Book', which has been widely used by Historians doing research on early Delaware County settlers, it is a matter of record that a Carpenter Family, naming especially Benjamin and Gilbert Carpenter who were very prominent in the early history of the Forty Fort, Kingston and Wilkes Barre areas of Luzerne County, along the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania, came to Delaware County in Ohio before the Townships were named. Benjamin had been active in politics and was a judge, and substantial property owner in Luzerne County as attested to by his likeness appearing, along with other Officials of note in the area, as part of the decorative and commemorative frieze work in the halls of the beautiful and stately Court House in Wilkes- Barre, the seat of the County. Gilbert Carpenter was a capable builder (he is reported to have built the Col. Nathan Dennison House, a famous early residence, still standing and in good condition, in Kingston, Pa.) He was also an early grist mill builder, and owner, in the area. Ezekial Brown (one of the Board of Commissioners named earlier) had also been a resident of Luzerne County and had come to Franklin Co. in Ohio before the setting off and naming of Delaware County. In July of 1806, Benjamin Carpenter purchased two tracts of land from Col. Byxbe, located in the area that was to become Sunbury Township Delaware County, Ohio, while still living in Pennsylvania. He and his brother Gilbert sold considerable of their property in the Wyoming Valley (Luzerne County) area in 1807, and moved with their families, soon after, to the new tracts purchased in Ohio. His deeds were validated by Ezekial Brown, Esq., who had already become an official in the newly opened territory. It is reported in the Shoemaker [Schumacher] Book that many families moved about that time from this Wyoming Valley to the Delaware County area; Addison Carver, several members of the family of Capt. Nathaniel Landon, John Rosenkranz and others are named. A Col. Ridgeway was named as an active promoter of this movement. The date under the likeness of Judge Benjamin Carpenter in the Court House of Luzerne County is 1750-15 and that period represents a time of great struggle and turmoil in the Wyoming Valley Region as to settlers claims under conflicting jurisdictions of Connecticut Grants, Indian Agreements, Proprietary Interests and Rights of the Colony of Pennsylvania. The Pennamite Wars were fought in that area during that period over the rights of the settlers to ownership of property. The Carpenters, the Browns, the Landons, and the Rosenkranzes, all being influential people were certainly vitally [underlined] interested in the difficult state of affairs. During that period, in 1768, Richard Penn (who with his brother John) Penn,^had been named Proprietors of the Province of Pennsylvania succeeding their father William Penn, founder,. By virtue of a Warrant dated 29 October 1768, ^they surveyed and established the 'Manour of Sunbury' on the North West side of the East Branch of the Susquehanna River, a twenty thousand acre tract in this Wyoming Valley, and there can be no doubt that the Carpenters and the other settlers in the valley were much concerned. Claim was made to the land 'for the use of the honorable the Proprietaries' of the Province of Pennsylvania. At the same time, John Penn laid out the Manor of Stoke on the opposite side of the river.

Description An account of the resource [page 4] [corresponds to page 4 of THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME SUNBURY] After the Pennamite wars and troubles with the Indians, the disputes over Land Titles continued until a Notice of Hearings on Connecticut claims was held, offering compensation to the Pennsylvania Claimants. This was by Act of Assembly, State of Pennsylvania, passed 4 April 1799. Benjamin Carpenter was appointed Justice of Peace and a Judge of Common Pleas Court, Luzerne County, May 27, 1787. Myers Tavern was located in the home of Philip Myers, close by the stockade and Fort, and near the Ferry across the river at Forty Fort. This home and Tavern was the place where his sons William and Lawrence were raised, and was the common meeting place where matters of the day were discussed and Official Meetings of a Political and Judicial nature were held. Carpenters Hall was not far away and the 'Old Meeting House' in Forty Fort Cemetery was just up the street. All of this area being within the boundaries of the Manor of Sunbury, there can be no doubt the name 'Sunbury' was often evident in conversations and dealings. In fact, Legal Title of the Manors of Sunbury and of Stoke were known to exist until 1813. From 1752 to 1772 the 'territory' of Luzerne was included in the Pennsylvania County of Northampton. In 1772, a new and separate county was formed, about 50 miles Southwestward along the Susquehanna, and was named Northumberland. Three months after the formation of this new County (1772), Governor Richard Penn and the Provincial Council ordered that, "the surveyor'general (John Lukens), with all convenient speed, repair to fort Augusta on the Susquehanna (near the confluence with its west branch), and with the assistance of Mr. William McClay lay out a town [underlined] for the County of Northlumberland, to be called by the name of Sunbury" [underlined]. This county seat town was to be located "at the most commodious place between the fort and the mouth of Shamokin Creek". (This was the site of the Indian Village called Shamokin). History of the area states that Richard Penn borrowed the name of Sunbury from the English Village of that name, situated on the Thames River, about fifteen miles southwest of the City of London. Since Richard Penn laid out his Manor of Sunbury and the Town of Sunbury within the short span of four years, it is reasonable to assume that both places were named after Sunbury-On-Thames. This is especially valid since The Manors of Sunbury and the Stoke were of similar size and near to each other. In England, Sunbury-On-Thames and Stoke Pages (where some of the Penn Family are buried) are also in the same general area. Then too, in his Will, Richard Penn stated that; "I am the holder of an interest in Batavia House in the Parish of Sunbury, in the County of Middlesex". Mr. George Freeman of the Sunbury and Shepperton Local History Society, and publisher of - A History of Sunbury-On-Thames, states that Batavia House was located therein and pointed out for us, its location on a map of the area. Letter from, and a personal visit with, Mr. Charles F. Snyder, Exec. Secy., The Northumberland County Historical Society, Sunbury, Pa., gave us the first information on this 'Manor of Sunbury' and he is of the opinion that, since no one, to his knowledge, had ever migrated to our part of Ohio, it is very doubtful that his town of Sunbury had any part at all in the early history of our area. We found him to be a very fine gentleman and very well informed in all historical matters regarding families and institutions in the State of Pennsylvania. He is also the author of various publications and a lifetime resident of his area.

Description An account of the resource [page 5] [corresponds to page 5 of THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME SUNBURY] Until discovery of the existence of this 'Manor Sunbury' and its relationship to the area from whence many of our early settlers came, it had been assumed that, since those settlers came down the Wyoming Path (now Route 11) along the Susquehanna, or by raft or boat past the Town of Sunbury on the river itself, the name might have been picked up and carried from there. Investigation indicates no valid connection, however, between the town of Sunbury, pa., and either the Township or the Village of Sunbury, Ohio. Ascertaining the Derivation of the name SUNBURY. On a trip to England in 1968, two years after celebration of the Sesqi- Centennial of the founding of the Village of Sunbury, in travelling by bus along the road from Heathrow Airport into London, it was quite a surprise to see from the window of our coach, a large sign, which pointed the way to Sunbury, somewhere off to our right. A few days later we obtained a small car, located this 'Sunbury' on a map, and found that, in spite of the very heavy flooding along parts of the Thames and in the south of England, there should be no trouble in reaching that particular area. It is only a short distance from Hampton Court Palace, famous as a residence of King Henry VIII, and of Cardinal Woolsey. Our approach to the town being from the north-west and along the river, we by-passed the section called Sunbury Cross, which is on a main road from Windsor through Staines to Hampton Court. On seeing a Church Steeple in the area we made for it, knowing that, in England, most of the towns have a church or cathedral in the center. St. Mary's Church was found to be located near the river between Thames and Green Streets, and from one of our pictures of the front of the old Church, the following, most interesting information is provided. Parish of St. Mary the Virgin Sunbury on Thames 1000 Years of Service In 967, Archbishop Dunstan obtained the Manor of Sunbury, giving it to the Abbey of Westminster. The Parish is mentioned in the Domesday Survey. The Saxon building was replaced by the present one in 1752, it being enlarged in 1865. The Vicar will be pleased to show visitors the church and its records. Since it was raining at the time and the air was damp and cold, we drove around the area and took pictures of other buildings and the river front park (which was mostly under water), from our car window. We had found the Church to be locked, and due to the weather, made no attempt to locate the Vicar to gain entry to look at the records. The town and its buildings, some of which are very old, appeared well kept and the streets were good with much green area. We adjudged it to be about the size of Westerville, Ohio, and a very pleasant place. Two years later, on our next visit to England, we again drove to Sunbury-On-Thames but this time found the Church closed for repairs. We had brought along the name of an Antique Dealer, hoping that he might provide historical information or direct us to someone who could.

Description An account of the resource [page 6] [corresponds to page 6 of THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME SUNBURY] When located, however, we found him to be most un-cooperative, and in fact, disrespectful -- which is unusual in England. Our desire to proceed further being somewhat cooled, and finding that we had run into a shop closing day in the Town, we drove around for a while, this time in beautiful weather. We re-visited the Park, finding it an attractive place with benches along the river, and a view across to a large Marine or Yacht Club on the other side where colorful boats of a large assortment were moored. Quite a number of ducks were on the river and on the shore, being fed bits of bread and other items, evidently brought for them by the local residents. Being pressed for time, we then continued on our way. On our third trip, this time in 1972, we allocated more time and made it a point to make some contact to obtain qualified information about the area. This time we came by the Main Road and entered by Sunbury Cross, which is really a part of Sunbury-On-Thames but located to the north, away from the river and near the railway station and Kempton Park Race Course. Here we found a new and modern, completely re-developed business area, complete with Shopping Mall and Apartment Buildings, a new Post Office, and most important to us, an attractive new Library. This new development, we found, was to accommodate the northern terminus and a major Interchange of the new M-3 Motorway which will extend south- west through historic Winchester, early capitol of England, to the great port city of Southampton, facilitating travel to Portsmouth and the resort areas in the south of the country. On making ourselves known to the Head Librarian, and stating our purpose in the area, we were welcomed and made to feel completely at home. She recalled a recent compilation by Michael J. S. Collings and published by him, entitled:- A History of the Church and Parish of Sunbury-On- Thames, and presented us with a copy. We had a very pleasant conversation with her and spent some time strolling about the new Mall. We enjoyed examining the unusual Town Clock on its pedestal which had been removed from its original position in the center of the former road crossing and been preserved by re-installation in the center of the Mall and Shopping Area. We again drove to St. Mary's Church and finding it locked we located the Vicar's Cottage but found no one at home. Inquiry was made from passersby but we were unable to learn where he might be or when he might be expected to return. It was disappointing to be unable to look into the Church, but having obtained the pamphlet and becoming acquainted with the Librarian and more of the area, we felt satisfied to continue on our trip, this time to the south west and Lands End, and over into Wales. In may of 1974, by again contacting the Librarian (the Library is maintained by the County of Middlesex) by mail, we were put in touch with Mr. George Freeman, 41 Green Street, Sunbury-On-Thames, Middlesex. He was Secretary of the Sunbury and Shepperton Local History Society, who sent his publication:- A History Of Sunbury-On-Thames together with a map of the area and recent Newsletters of the Sunbury-On-Thames Society. Here follows, then, excerpts from these two Publications, which provide the recognized English explanation of the origin of 'SUNBURY'. The Saxons were, in fact, the true founders of Sunbury. We know this through a remarkably informative Saxon Document known as, the Sunbury Charter. Title A name given to the resource The Origin of the Name Sunbury (p. 6) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/0476269f202b2c55770455fa81d6fed9.jpg a47fcae96533488ba9b7545574ad8763 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 7] [corresponds to page 7 of THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME SUNBURY] By this 'Sunbury Charter', King Edgar (959-980 AD) granted to his faithful kinsman Aelfheh 'in perpetuity', a certain parcel of land, vis., 10 cassati (hides) at the place commonly called 'aet Sunnanbyrig'. The boundaries of the grant are described by a number of landmarks, including the 'Cloven Barrow', which not only tell us the extent of early Saxon Sunbury, but also the origin of the place name. The Charter's description hinges on its reference to "Sunna's Burh" and "Sunna's Haw". These Saxon terms suggest that it was a Saxon theign or lord, called Sunna who founded the community and gave it his name, as he or a namesake, gave it to Sonning and Sunningdale. Sunna settled his followers around his own pallisaded residence, or "haw", on the raised ground between the present Church and the Flower Pot Inn. His "burh" has been interpreted as 'a fortified place', which would suggest that Sunbury was founded during the reign of King Alfred (871-899 AD), in line with the King's Defense Policy against the Danes. However, I believe the word "burh" to be a corruption of the word "beorg" or "hill" and refers to the distinctly higher ground around the Vicarage, which would have been even more prominent in those far off days. At any rate, whatever the truth, we can see how Sunna's Burh evolved, by the time of the Charter, to Sunnanbyrig, and within a hundred years to Suneberie; and, finally in the course of centuries, to Sunbury. (The above statements of opinion by the author, Michael J. S. Collins) Apart from Sunna, The Sunbury Charter suggests other early prominent inhabitants of Sunbury in its mention of Eadbrybt's burial mound, Dudde's byre and Ecclesbrook. The actual ownership of the Manor can be traced from the reign of King Eldred (945-955 AD) onwards. Here follows the text of the Sunbury Charter, a document preserved in the muniment room of Westminster Abbey (London). The Charter, written mainly in Latin, but with names and descriptions in Anglo- Saxon, records the grant of land at Sunnanbyrig by King Edgar to his kinsman, Aelfheh. A rough translation of the Charter is given below. I, Eadgar, King of Britain, have granted in perpetuity, a certain parcel of land at the place commonly called Sunnanbyrig, to my faithful kinsman Aelfheh, for his faithful service, so that as long as his life lasts, he may realize his desires and possess it with all its advantages, to wit; meadows, pastures, and woods, and at the end of his life leave it undiminished to whatever heirs he may desire. If anyone should desire to divert this our gift to another purpose than that which we have determined, let him be deprived of the fellow- ship of God's Holy Church and be forever punished with the eternal flames of the miserable pit, together with Judas, Christ's betrayer, and his accomplices unless he satisfactorily amend his transgression against our decree. This, then, is the Sunbury Charter of A.d. 962. The last sentence of the preamble reads:- "This Charter was written in the year of Our Lord's Incarnation 962 with the consent of the witnesses whose names are noted below". One of the signatures was St. Dunstan, Archbishop of Canterbury.

Description An account of the resource [page 8] [corresponds to page 8 of THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME SUNBURY] The next recorded mention of Sunbury is in the Domesday Book, or Survey, which was a folio of 760 pages measuring 15 1/2 by 10 1/2, compiled by the Normans after their Conquest of England by Edward the Confessor (1043-1066 AD). The entry for Sunbury reads:- "The Abbot of Westminster holds the Manor of Sunberie which is 7 hides. The land is 6 caracates, 4 hides are in demense on which there is one plough. The Villeins have 4 ploughs, The Priest has 1/2 virgate. The 8 Villeins have a virgate between them. The meadow land is equal to 6 carucates and there is pasture for the cattle of the manor". Applying modern designations and values, the Survey can be translated thus:- "The Abbot of Westminster owns the manor of Sunbury which comprises about 840 acres. The ploughed land is about 600 acres. 480 acres are occupied by freeholders who have one plough between them and the tenants have four ploughs. Eight tenants have 32 acres each, and the other tenants 16 acres each. The Priest also has 16 acres. The meadow land is equal to about 600 acres and there is pasture for the cattle of the manor. (the text of Sunbury Charter and information from the Domesday Survey are taken from the booklet by Mr. George Freeman) The descriptions and other information in the two booklets can be read in the Community Library, Sunbury, Ohio. They provide much greater detail than can be included in this compilation. ***In Summary*** The history of Sunbury in England is described as going back to the Roman era, the Saxon Invasion and warring between the Saxons and the Danes. Then through the Norman Conquest and continuing to this day. The Manor of Sunbury, established as a Proprietors Holding, by the Penn Family, was in evidence from 1768 to about 1813 in the Wyoming Valley, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, and encompassed the area whence came the earliest pioneer families to settle in Delaware County, Ohio. Richard Penn, Governor of Pennsylvania and his brother, John Penn, Lieutenant Governor came from Middlesex in England, which included the Parish (or Manor) of Sunbury. Richard Penn held interest in Batavia House in this Parish of Sunbury and identified himself with the areas Stanwell and Stoke, both located nearby. There can be no doubt that Judge Carpenter was acquainted with Moses Byxbe, Major Brown, and Ezekial Brown and possibly others who were responsible for naming the Township of Sunbury in Delaware County, Ohio in 1808. Judge Carpenter had purchased 2 tracts of land from Mr. Byxbe in 1806 while still residing in the 'Manor of Sunbury' area in Pennsylvania, and had the deeds thereto acknowledged by Ezekial Brown, Esquire, then a Justice of the Peace in Franklin County, Ohio. After moving to Ohio in 1807, Judge Carpenter resided in Sunbury Township, one half mile north of the area which was to become the town of Sunbury and to be laid out by William and Lawrence Myers in whose family home Judge Carpenter probably attended meetings back in the Wyoming Valley, Pennsylvania. It is recorded that in Benjamin Carpenters will, made in Sunbury, Ezekial Brown was named as executor. In 1812, John S. Brown, son of Ezekial Brown (formerly of Luzerne Co. Pa.) married Sarah, daughter of Judge and Mary Ferrier Carpenter after the families had moved to Ohio and were residing in Sunbury Township. The Browns lived just north of the area, later to become Zoar (which in time became Galena).

Description An account of the resource [page 9] [corresponds to page 9 of THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME SUNBURY] These families, or any other coming to Ohio before 1808,could have been responsible for carrying forward the name from the Manor of Sunbury to the Township of Sunbury when it was established in 1808. This Township of Sunbury, which had been set off June 16, 1808, was later diminished piece by piece in the formation of what is now; (Indian) Treaty Line in what is now Morrow County, in addition to; All of Harlem, Trenton, Porter, and the east half of Berkshire and Genoa Townships. The Delaware County History of 1880 by Baskin states that, by 1821 it had been whittled until all that remained was the east half of Berkshire Township and all of Trenton. Some time between 1821 and 1832 (the records of Commissioners proceedings ^were stated to have disappeared for the period 1822-1835) when Trenton Township was named; the western one-half-section was added to Berkshire to compensate it for two quarters loss in a prior transfer, one to Brown and one to Kingston. In contradiction to Baskin, however, it has been found that that portion of the early Commissioners Proceedings, i.e., Book Numbers two and three do exist, and positively establish the following:- From Book No. 2- Page 79, dated March 8, 1826; "Ordered by the Board, that all that part of Sunbury Township which lies in the 17th Range, U. S. Military lands, be and the same is, attached to and made a part of Berkshire Township." On page No. 33 of Book No. 3, dated December 6, 1832, we find the following- ing; "Gilbert VanDorn presented a petition of the majority of the electors of Sunbury Township, praying for the alteration of the name of Sunbury to Trenton". Said petition having been read and carefully examined. It was considered by the Board that the prayer of the Petitioners was reasonable and in every respect, comfortable with the law. It was ordered by said Board that the name of the Township of Sunbury be changed to that of Trenton Township, and that said Township be recorded and established as Trenton Township. This action of the Commissioners at that time, completely extinguished the name of Sunbury as a Township in Delaware County, Ohio. The Town of Sunbury as well as that of Zoar, both being laid out in 1816 were originally in the Township of Sunbury, that portion not being transferred to Berkshire Township until March 1826. Berkshire has always been in Berkshire Township. In a period of only 24 years this, once very large Township of Sunbury was eliminated by divisions, transfers, and change of name. Then Manor of Sunbury, and original Proprietor's holding in the Province (and later, State) of Pennsylvania was confiscated by the newly established State, along with other Manors held by the Penn Family, with agreed compensation granted in payment for same. This was stated to be the largest single holding of property ever to be acquired. Now, there has been a new Township of Sunbury established, 166 years after the one originally erected by the first Board of Commissioners in 1808. This new Township has boundaries concurrent with, and the same as, those of the Village of Sunbury, Delaware County, Ohio. The Board of Commissioners in 1974 on petition of the Village, voted approval and set off the new Township from that of Berkshire thus establishing the Village and Township [underlined] of Sunbury, Delaware County, Ohio.

Description An account of the resource [page 10] [corresponds to page 10 of THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME SUNBURY] Information accumulated on other existing Sunburys is, as follows:- Sunbury, Gates County, N. Carolina (originally named Sunsbury) was settled on grants of land issued to William Hunter in 1695 and 1701. Mr. William T. Cross, historian and lifetime resident of Gates County states that William Hunter Sr., built his home, some three quarters of a mile from the present Village (pop.450). He lived there with his son William Jr., his son Isaac, and Isaac's son Jacob. Jacob built a new house at a spot which is in the center of the present village. Tradition has it that, about 1770 a Sun Flower came up in his yard and that he named the place Sunsbury. Mr. Frank Nixon, retired Post- master, lifetime resident and descendent of early settlers, stated that when the new Post Office was built, the name was officially changed to Sunbury. Other early settlers in the area (which was set off from Virginia about 1717) were the Costens, all from Nasemond County, Virginia, some twenty miles distant. Isle of Wight County, Va. joins Nasemond County and this is separated from Jamestown by the James River. The Village of Sunbury, therefore, is not far from the earliest settlements of our Country. People came to the area of Sunbury and Gates County mostly from old Virginia and were all of English stock. At one time, prior to the Civil War, the little village contained two well known schools and it has always been known as a cultural center. Conversations with Mr. Cross, Mr. Nixon and with a Miss Costen, retired school teacher and a librarian, reveal that since their area was settled by English people, their Sunsbury could have been carried forward from Sunbury in England. No direct line of transfer has been established however, and they have no knowledge of any link by people coming from their area to ours. Another Sunsbury (sometimes spelled Sunbury) is Montgomery County, Ohio [underlined] and although it was a prior settlement, it has in recent years become secondary to its neighbor, Germantown. Both are in German Township and separated by Twin Creek. Sunsbury was platted by Jacob Beard and the area settled mostly by people of German ancestry. A visit with Mr. Carl Michael, decendant of Jacob Beard, member of Germantown Historical Society and on the Board of the Library, revealed that it has not been discovered how the original settlement was named. A Mr. Gunkel was the Proprietor who named Germantown when laid out. There can be no connection ascertained between their area and our [underlined] Sunbury in Delaware County. The Sunbury in Cedar County (near Davenport) in Iowa is said to have been named by a Civil Engineer who built a railroad through that area, just north of Interstate 80. Correspondence with Mr. Rudolph Bluedorn, retired Postal Route Carrier (for 44 years), in 1970 and in 1975 revealed also that it had been stated that their name had been carried forward from Sunbury, Pennsylvania. He states that Ambrose C. Fulton, brother of Robert Fulton, inventor of the steam boat, may have named the town. Mr. Fulton was an engineer who came to Davenport from Chester County, Pennsylvania. He made soundings for the pillars for the first bridge across the Mississippi River at Davenport, helped to promote the first railroad west of the river, built the first flour mill, the first packing house, the first hotel and many other establishments. He was a leader and promoter of public enterprises and active in inducing other settlers to come to Iowa.

Description An account of the resource [page 11] [corresponds to page 11 of THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME SUNBURY] In 1901 the population of Sunbury, Iowa was 25, but had several places of business including a Bank, Post Office, Saloon, Dance Hall, Hotel & Livery Stable, Lumber Yard, and other allied enterprises common to rural areas at that time. It is a beautiful farming community and the people are mostly of German descent. Across the river, in Illinois the area is predominately Swedish. Today the population of their Sunbury is 90, the Bank closed during the depression (1929-1933). The building is there but the windows are broken out. One house is vacant and its windows are out, he states, being mostly a 'bedroom' town with 17 houses, 2 stores, and Post Office and a few businesses catering to a farming community. Our informant, Mr. Bluedorn's investigations have determined that his neighboring town of Walcott, Iowa was named by a William Wolcott who gave $500.00 to the community for a school if they would name the town in his honor. Their earliest settlers were from Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York. Their postmaster came from Muskingham Co. and a Mr. George E. Peck, their Depot Agent and Telegrapher, was from Starke County. The Post Office on their early Stage Line was called Amity, after Amity, Ohio. Mr. Bluedorn has done considerable research concerning this area and the origin of the name Sunbury, and states that while he has been in touch with the Royal Museum and the Urban District Council Office in Sunbury-On-Thames, we have provided the most information he has received, to date, in his effort to clear up the Sunbury puzzle. Sunbury, Livingston County, Illinois is near Streator, South West of Chicago. Although no visit or contact has been made there, since other towns with English names are nearby, we assume the origin of their town name is the same as ours. Settlement of that area would have had to be later than here and could not have affected the route by which our Sunbury was named. Sunbury in Victoria County (?)Australia which is near, and north of, Melbourne is also surrounded by names of British origin and since its population has grown from 2385 in 1964 to 5099 as of the 1971 Census, it must be of recent origin. According to information we have from Sunbury in England, residents there are in contact, viz., requests for recent publications of the Sunbury-Sheparton History Society have been received from Sunbury, Australia. The only remaining Sunbury we have found listed world-wide is the County in New Brunswick, Canada. There also, this area is completely surrounded by other Counties with names: Victoria, Gloucester, Kent, Queens, Northumberland, Westmoreland, Kings, York, Albert, and Carleton. Only two are indicated to be French, so there can be no question as to the origin of the name, Sunbury County, in N.B. Canada.

Description An account of the resource page 25 Corresponds to page 21 of The Owl 1916 History of class of 1916 In our school it is considered an honor to have reached the first year of high school or to belong to that select body which is known as the freshman class. Thus in the Grammar Grade we were being prepared for High School work by the teacher Miss Ryant. If we attained a degree of perfection so did Miss Ryant for in a short time she became Mrs. Perfect. With a large class increase by several foreign pupils we entered High School with many thoughts and considerations among these was the desire to graduate at the end of the four specified years. We also were considering how we would be received by the other classes. We reported to Mr. Utley, the Superintendent, and Mr. Kaylor, Principal. Because of the increase of pupils it fell to the lot of the Freshmen to remain in the Grammar Room until the new addition could be completed. This did not cause us any serious worry, for it would give us time to improve our fresh manners. It did not take long to find out that Mr. Utley could teach algebra, even if his temper became a little roiled when we failed on a prob- lem. After the holidays we were moved into the new room. There we found a new trouble before us, we were informed that every three weeks we should take part in a literary program. This was not as difficult as expected, for even if we did become a little frightened, and did not deliver our productions up to the expectations of the teachers, the greater part made as good an appearance as the so called upper classmen, Juniors and Seniors. Sooner than we expected the general appearance of the class began to change from fresh to foolish or in other words, those who could muster up a grade of 75% were raised to the rank of Sopho- more. This did not affect all so we found the class somewhat lessened in membership, some were attracted toward other duties, while others decided that it would be best to get better acquainted with the studies that they had, before taking up any more. During this year there was a renewed activity in Literary. The School was divided into two Societies, we were much honored by having the President of one society elected from our class, since then we have had four presidents chosen from the class. Before the end of the first semester Mr. Kaylor was compelled to give up his duties as Principal, because of sickness. To prevent our minds from forgetting Caesar and Rhetoric, Mr. Plumb and later Miss Swope became our instructors in those branches. We can but say that Mr. Plumb could recite the commentaries equal to Caesar himself, and that Miss Swope aided us in getting all that Shakespeare could desire from the study of Merchant of Venice. At the beginning of our Junior year the class was organized with Mr. Harold Roof as President and at the same time we selected Red and Black for our class colors, "Study and don't pay too much attention to the young ladies" were the rules, which were enforced Title A name given to the resource The Owl 1916 (25) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/273ae4a5ee26dfd01746c98c5924452c.jpg bee7179beec241c92a35f7f5a5b3f3bb Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

During this year besides keeping up with our studies, we helped to support the Athletic teams and gave three members as Editors on the Annual Staff. When the class returned for our last year we were surprised to find that Mr. Macklin Murphy, one of the leading members of the class was not going to return to graduate. But we found four new members, who were added to the class, Dean Tippy, Dwight Huston, Caroline Beacon, and Ralph Kendrick. These members soon took up the spirit of the school and began to take an interest and a part in all the school activities. We elected Ray Eley for our President and changed the class colors to Orange and Black, over these colors war was nearly declared with the three lower classmen. It is not known whether they lost their nerve or not at any rate the colors are still ours. Through the Basket Ball team, the class received more honors. For it was a Champion team composed entirely of Seniors. Good marks along with bad marks of credit we have acquired during this year, though we have studied both day and night. It was but yesterday that we were Freshmen but today we are Senios. Four years we have spent in study, trying our best to obey the rules put down by our teachers and learn the lessons set down in the test book. If we have learned these lessons it will be shown in the time to come by the way we live up to our motto, "No success without great labor." -Ross Beaver, '16 illustration of a book on a corbel Title A name given to the resource The Owl 1916 (26) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/a2f74225655c26adc48796e9db87cb49.jpg d249844cf28a80bdcd03500c2adce90d 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 27 Corresponds to page 23 of The Owl 1916 Senior Class Poem Through four long years we now have passed Our day of honor has come at last; Oh, yes, some days were long and weary, But many more were bright and cheery. Dear S.H.S. so firm and true, Has welcomed us, as it does you. And all who try will then succeed As others have, who took the lead. With thirty-one, we filled the year In which we started with great fear; Our numbers lessened as we passed, From that first year, till this our last. When sturdy Sophomores we became With ruling power o'er Freshman's fame Our teachers kind said to each one "By working hard, your race is won." As eighteen Juniors proud and gay, Were striving earnestly each day, Less fear we had of books and rules Taught by our teachers in High School. As fifteen stately Seniors we, Are proud of our supremacy; We've spent much time, and studied our best In looking forward to the test. In Athletics, both boys and girls, Have much honor and joy unfurled. We've taken some part in each game, And helped to win the school's fame. Through High School, we have labored hard, To make a grand deportment card. Some day we'll love to think with ease About the past sweet memories. "No success without great labor." This, the motto, won our favor. To our High School's fame and joy, We give our best without alloy.

Description An account of the resource page 29 Corresponds to page 25 of The Owl 1916 Senior Class Prophecy THE world was a very discontented place when it was young. The fairies dwelt upon it but were very dissatis- fied because they did not know their future, so they made a wonderful pair of spectacles which very clearly revealed to them anything they wished to know concerning the future. After they had found out all that was destined to befall them, they concealed their wonderful spectacles in the depth of a very secluded forest and declared on the eve of some very important event they should be given to someone who would be able to discern to them the future of all concerned in the momentous occasion. Having been chosen prophetess of my class and since the gradua- tion of the class of '16 is the greatest event since that time the magic spectacles have been handed to me, through them I shall peer into the misty future of this class. I first glance into a large city and my eyes turn to a massive building bearing the inscription, High School, and standing before a class of brilliant pupils in History. I see Mr. Ross Beaver reveal- ing to his pupils the knowledge acquired at S.H.S. A great automobile whizzed past and as it stopped before a handsome residence out jumped our old friend Dwight T. Huston, but now he is known as Dr. Dwight T. Huston, busiest and best doctor in town. Here appears before me a newspaper. I turned to the glaring headlines and read that Miss Caroline Beacom, the noted Missionary, formerly of Sunbury is to return to the jungles of Africa where she has been a success in former years. On a road toward Centerburg I see an immense, well equipped dairy farm. On a large white barn, I noticed in plain letters DEAN TIPPY, DAIRY FARM. In a crowded court room the rising young lawyer, Mr. Llewellyn Davis is pleading in defense of the prisoner at bar. The scene changes to a College and walking carefully about the room I see strict professor R.L. Eley, one of the most learned college men of the day. Now appears a number of large and handsome buildings, well shaded over which I see the sign, JOURNEYMAN'S REST; PROPRIETOR, RALPH KENDRICK. As I look the second time I see Ralph happily smiling and I know that he is enjoying life. I am now in a great crowded music hall among a large crowd of music lovers who are applauding Miss Hazel Comstock, who has just rendered most beautifully one of her famous instrumental solos. The interpretation was excellent and she well deserves the hearty applause. I now see a large crowd before a house where an auction is being held. I hear the auctioneer's, strident voice repeating, "going, Title A name given to the resource The Owl 1916 (29) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/f9bf72a789e75d19ee278ce61a606911.jpg 7aa5bba52471aa71a10621dc79d8dfe3 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

In a well known Girls' Seminary I see our friend, Mary Whisner as matron. She is firm and dignified and her pupils all love her. Now before me appears a field prepared for corn. I look and see in a far corner a team pulling a corn planter under the careful management of Mr. H. W. Roof, a wealthy farmer in his community. Now I am facing a little bungalow along a country road, this little house is surrounded by green and well kept meadows. Joseph Linnabary is the owner and he and his little bride have just moved in and are enjoying their new home. And who is this very elegantly dressed young man who seems so attractive to all the pretty girls? It is Hobert Grey, the beau ideal of all the girls and he is considered a good catch by society matrons. The next view was one of expensive buildings, the interiors of which were brilliantly lighted and the busy whirr of wonderful machinery could be heard. Glendon Comstock holds complete control of the massive machinery and is respectfully spoken of as the greatest electrician of the day. There, truly, Old Sunbury High has harbored a wonderful class all these years and according to my wonderful spectacles it has all been a successful one. Alas! The writer saw through those spectacles herself, "A lone and lorn maiden Of uncertain age A sad forlorn maiden On Life's last stage." -Hazel M.

Description An account of the resource page 34 Corresponds to page 30 of The Owl 1916 Junior Class History On the 8th of September, 1913, thirty Freshmen entered S.H.S. Of this number twelve were promoted from the eighth grade while fifteen came from other schools. Though they were strangers they were soon made to feel at home by the kindness of the upper classmen. As usual the Freshies dreaded Literary day and our hearts quaked with fear when the time came for our productions to be given. This year the High School divided in two Literary Societies, Athenian and Philo. When the societies held their Literary contest, two members of our class were chosen to represent the Recitations for the two societies. Elizabeth Gorsuch for the Athenians and Gaye Edwards for Philos. Professor Utley guided us safely through the perils of Alge- bra and although we changed Latin teachers several times, we managed to acquire some knowledge of this branch before the term was over. Amo for instance! At the beginning of our sophomore year the High School gave a chicken supper in the K. P. Hall. Each class had a table which was decorated by the members to the superlative degree of art. The aim of each class was to "Put one over" all the other classes by tak- ing in the most money. As our class always wins in financial affairs the Sophomores were far beyond the others both financially and in washing dishes. This year our class was organized and the following officers were elected. Leo McCoy, President; Cloise Gray, Vice President; Elizabeth Gorsuch, Treasurer. Another year has rolled around and now we are "stuckup" Juniors! Several members dropped by the wayside but we were fortunate in having four new members added to our class making a grand total of twenty-four. The class officers are Eleanor Granger, President; Edith Gorsuch, Vice President; Opal Hupp, Secretary. Our class is surely not lacking in Athletics as Opal Hupp, Nancy Walters, Elizabeth and Edith Gorsuch are on the Girls' Basket Ball team. Donald Main, Leo McCoy and Cloise Gray were subs. on the boys' team. In the Literary contest between the Athenian and Philos, Leo McCoy and Clyde Bricker won the debate for the Philos. Elizabeth Gorsuch won the oration for the Athenians against Floy Orndorff, Philo. In the intercounty debate, Leo McCoy and Clyde Bricker debated the Negative side of the question at Ashley but Oh! alas they were defeated. The Juniors take an active part in the social activity of the school. December 1st, 1915, Lehr Perfect entertained the Junior class at his country home. The evening was spent in playing games and at a late hour all returned home, a delightful time was reported by all. March 16, 1916, the Juniors held a box social in the basement of the school house where they initiated the Seniors into their fast games. The social was a decided success both socially and finan- Cially.

Description An account of the resource page 39 Corresponds to page 35 of The Owl 1916 Romance of A Hidden Letter IT all happened in the small town of Clydesdale and all because a fusty, rusty old bachelor chose to write such a silly will. At least that is what Eleanor called it, when she read it for the first time. The week after her uncle's funeral she was summoned to a lawyer's office. The lawyer was a funny looking man with a bald head and he cleared his throat so often that the situation appeared ridiculous to Eleanor. But as the little man read on, Eleanor became interested and listened breathlessly. The will said that the old bachelor had two relatives and didn't know to which to give the money. So he devised this novel plan. He had hidden a letter and then the one who found the letter first would get the money. The people could search anywhere but they were advised to search his bachelor quar- ters in the city and his country home. Eleanor loved adventure and the plan pleased her. She jumped up and said; "I am going to find that letter and the quicker I get started the better." But she stopped short; "Why, what does he think I am? I haven't any money except my wages and even if I did scrape up enough to pay my way to New York, I would have nothing to live on during the hunt." The little man laughed, "Oh all that was foreseen and has been taken care of. Your uncle has provided funds for that, but I don't know why he hasn't mentioned much about the other party." "Oh, there is another person, isn't there?" exclaimed Eleanor. "Who is she? What's her name? Where does she live?" "Easy, easy" exclaimed the poor little man. "In the first place the other person is a man. His name is Victor Reynolds and he lives in Canada." "How interesting," exclaimed Eleanor, "Uncle Dick was a dear. This will be just like a long vacation. And Mr. Reynolds." she stepped back and shook her fist threateningly, "I am going to beat you to the letter." So saying, she snatched up her papers and was gone before the little man had recovered from his surprise. Mr. Stanton, the lawyer, had explained, that the letters contained a map showing where the fabulous wealth was hidden. Eleanor was much interested in the mysterious letter and about a week later, having secured funds from Mr. Stanton, she started for New York. All the way she kept wondering about Victor Reynolds. "I hope he is at least nice looking that will make it more interesting anyway," she confessed to herself. Having reached New York, and having seen her baggage stowed in her room at a hotel, she went at once to her late uncle's rooms. Letting herself into the apartment by means of the key the lawyer had given her, she walked slowly through the handsomely furnished rooms. "At least, he didn't spare any money on his rooms," she Title A name given to the resource The Owl 1916 (39) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/881e10277ab7806b95cf91fdfbe5aaee.jpg 5039b2e3e24d3507b0e5218458036c26 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Well I am going to begin right here, and search every inch of this house, and if I don't find the letter here I'll bet Mr. Victor Reynolds won't." She went through every room, turning over cushions, taking down pictures and searching the walls for secret springs. "I guess it isn't on the first floor all right," she said. Running quickly up the wide, rich stairway, she entered a large bedroom. Throwing up the blind she glanced around the room. Everything a man could wish was there. She uttered an exclamation of delight. "I wouldn't mind being a bachelor myself, if I could live in such rooms," she said aloud. The sound of her voice startled her and reminded her of her quest. She searched both rooms and was just going to descend the steps when she noticed a black cloth carefully tacked against the wall of a clothespress. "That looks rather suspicious," she thought, "I wonder what's behind it." Tearing aside the cloth, she beheld a small door, fastened with a latch. She opened it quickly and was about to enter, but it was so dark, she decided to hunt some kind of light. After searching in the "den" for a few minutes, she found a flash light. Lighting herself along the queer passage with this, she at last came up against a black mass which blocked her way. "Of all things an old trunk! I think I have stumbled upon the treasure instead of the letter." But the trunk was locked. Returning the way she had come she at last found a hatchet. When she had opened the trunk, she saw--old clothes. Dumping them in a heap on the floor, she searched the sides of the trunk. "Nothing here I guess" said she disgustedly as she viewed her dirty hands. She sat down on the trunk to rest, leaning her hand on the side. Something rustled. With the aid of the hatchet, she removed the covering of the box and out dropped a letter. With a little scream of surprise, Eleanor picked up the letter. On the outside was printed--To the Heir of the Livingstone Treasure. "How funny" thought Eleanor; opening the queer envelope, she drew out a blank sheet of paper. "Of all silly jokes! Well, if Uncle Dick thought this would be funny, I don't agree with him." Replacing every thing as she found it, except perhaps the trunk, she went down stairs. Putting the letter in her handbag, she was about to go out, when she heard a key grate in the lock. Stepping quickly behind some dark curtains, she waited. Someone came in, shut the door with a bang and then Eleanor heard, "Whew the old duffer sure fixed up some." Eleanor peeked out. She beheld a tall young man, with a mop of reddish brown hair, gray eyes and an altogether jolly looking face. The young man flung himself into a chair and threw his cap into the farthest corner. "Gee I didn't know I was so near done up" was what the girl next heard, "But I guess I will take a look about." He laughed boyishly. His laugh was so infectious that Eleanor couldn't resist joining also, stepping from behind the curtain she dropped a low courtesy and Title A name given to the resource The Owl 1916 (40) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/027d6dd6c735e3692ecf7de1580f289b.jpg 041cf5876072e55365706b34cb2bb4c8 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

If you are looking for the letter you might as well stop for I have found it." Reaching into her bag she drew out the letter and handed it to him. He was too surprised to do anything but stare stupidly, first at the letter in his hand and then at her. The girl laughed and so did Victor. "So you are Eleanor Livingstone. I have been wondering about you ever since I heard about that will." He looked at her admiringly. Eleanor was a small girl with curly brown hair, which just showed under her hat rim, and merry brown eyes. "You don't seem to be much interested in the letter," said Eleanor mischievously. Victor blushed and quickly opened the envelope, drew out the blank paper. "Well of all--" The girl laughed merrily. "Isn't that some map? Let's go hunt the treasure immediately." Victor grinned: "So this is all it amounts to. I thought I was going on a wild goose chase. I had plenty of my own dough, but I thought it would be fun. But I am glad to come. Here I thought I didn't have a relative in the world, and I find-- you. It is good to know you have some relatives, even if we are about sixty fifth cousins, Come! Let's go out and get a bit to eat. I'm almost starved." That evening when Eleanor reached her room at the hotel she was very happy. Running quickly up the rickety stairs she entered her room. "Goodness! It's dark in here. I wonder where the matches are." She soon found a box of matches turning on the gas, still holding the blank paper in her hand she held the lighted match to the burner. When the light blazed up, she looked at the paper wonderingly. Small letters began to appear. Holding the paper nearer the fire, she watched breathlessly. she was able to make out the words country and fireplace, but the rest of the sentence was unintelligible. "I wonder what it can mean! I'm going to ask Victor tomorrow," for she had promised that he might call the next afternoon. She thought about it all night and the next forenoon, but could make nothing of it. Promptly at one o'clock, Victor was announced, running down the stairs with the paper fluttering in her hand, she met him at the door and waved the paper before his eyes. "Look!" she cried "I have solved the mystery!" Victor took the paper and examined the writing on it. "You are a genius, Eleanor. How did you manage such a stunt?" "What do you suppose it means?" she asked breathlessly and then told of her experience the night before. "I think country must mean his country home. Don't you? Let's go out and investigate. It's only two hours ride on the cars." "Oh! I bet too, that's what it means. What a stupid I am!" exclaimed Eleanor, "I'll be ready in jiffy."

Victor!" (They had already decided to use their Christian names,) "How are we going to get in? I haven't any key, have you?" "Yes, indeed," laughed the boy, "You don't suppose I would forget that, do you?" He opened the door and Eleanor ran in. "Oh! here's the fireplace!" she exclaimed. "But I don't see any money laying around loose, do you?" "I certainly don't!" said Victor. "Let's see if we can find any secret springs around here." Victor was busy trying to dislodge a large stone inside the fireplace. "There it is," exclaimed the boy when he had removed the stone, "You press the magic button Eleanor." The girl pressed the button and the fireplace slowly turned around, disclosing a small room with several small trunks in it. "At last," breathed Eleanor as they entered the room and found that the trunks opened at their touch. Gold, jewels, precious paint- ings of many kinds and all kinds of wealth was stored in the three trunks. "Oh! Isn't this pretty? Dear Uncle Dick! I wonder what this is for? Just look! here is a gold thimble! Where do you suppose the old bachelor got it?" These and many more similar exclamations burst from Eleanor as she examined the treasure. Running from one chest to the other, examining and exclaiming. At last she noticed Victor's silence and exclaimed! "Why what is the matter?" Victor has been standing a little away from her, watching her every motion. "I was just wondering what you would do with all you wealth," he said. "You will be as rich as Croesus." Eleanor stared at him. She had not thought about anything but finding the money. Now that it was found, she didn't know what to do. She wondered vaguely why Victor looked at her go gravely. Then she remembered what he had said and exclaimed: "My money! Why it isn't mine any more than it is yours. I never would have thought about this house. You must have half." Victor looked at her meaningly and said, "But remember, Dear, Uncle Dick did not want the money divided." Eleanor flushed crimson, covered her face with her hands, and sat down weakly on one of the treasure trunks. "Oh what shall I do?" "The money doesn't have to be divided," exclaimed the boy eagerly. "Eleanor won't you marry me? I know I haven't known you very long, but what difference does that make?" "Not any," murrmured Eleanor, as she buried her face on his shoulder. "Hurrah--! for the hidden letter" shouted Victor. --Elizabeth Gorsuch, '17 Title A name given to the resource The Owl 1916 (42) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/4abd2c4867726ddc03303a3413d1aeb8.jpg fca3e048dd8aaaea8158dbc42785d6c5 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

We are living our history not writing it. The upperclass- men have written volumes about their wonderful achievements and adventures. Modesty forbids us to parade our deeds before the gaze of the public. We believe in hiding our light under a bushel and never letting our right hand know what the left hand doeth. Not so with the upperclass- men. They ask reverence and preach honor to whom honor is due. Again if we should write our own history we might be tempted to tell of our good deeds and omit the bad. We wonder what sort of a class history the Juniors would have if they had written their history from an unbiased standpoint. Would not the smarty Sophomores burn with shame if the account of their doing was published? Then knowing the true history of these individuals whom we have mentioned it be- hooves us to act with modesty and if we cannot write a true history then we had better not write any at all. --Frank Frye, '19 Title A name given to the resource The Owl 1916 (43) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/efda89b66a3e46368134c094a01ad4f7.jpg 58323c4137c1a1d8dd9878fd00c4eab4 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Thru the hearty cooperation, for the past two years, of the various principals and district superin- tendents, rapid strides have been made to supply this need. Much has been done to encourage clean athletics. Basket ball schedules and track meets have been arranged and successfully carried out. And s.H.S. has made her presence felt in the contests. But the intellectual side has not been neglected. An orational contest was held at Ashley in May, nine hundred and fifteen. Most of the high schools sent a representative. This contest will be an annual event. On the eighteenth of February was held the first debate among the mnay high schools of the county. Each school had an affirmative and a negative team, the former debating at home, the latter visiting another school. The subject was, "Resolved, That there should be an immediate and substantial increase in our army and navy." S.H.S. had two splendid teams. The affirmative team won an interesting debate from Powell. The team had been coached on argument in particular and this won the debate. The Powell Team showed much evidence of coaching on delivery. Our encounter with Ashley did not come out so successfully to us. Bricker, one of our star debaters, was unable to do himself and his school justice as he was just recovering from a severe illness. The people at Ashley were honest when they gave McCoy, the third man on our team, the credit of making the best speech of the evening.

Description An account of the resource page 46 Corresponds to page 42 of The Owl 1916 Sophomore Class History In the year 1914 we were Freshmen. There were 35 of us, which number made quite a class. We came from all parts of the country round, including Sunbury, Condit, Olive Green, and Kilbourne. We felt very strange for the first few days but we soon became accustomed to our new surround- ings. We underwent the jeers of the upper classmen with a smile but none but ourselves knew what those smiles cost. As we were "Little Freshies" we stood quite in fear of the first examination, but after it was over and most of us received good grades, we felt more like ourselves. We had not gone to school long when Death called Marie Allison from us. When final examination came around some of us were excused and most of us received a pass. At the end of the year we had the satisfaction of knowing that our grades averaged better than any of the other classes. When we again came together on September 6th, 1915, we found that there were only twenty-six of our original number, but we had one new member. We were now Sophomores and we hoped our studies would not be so hard as last, but alas! Geometry was our lot. It was now our turn to jeer at the "Little Freshies," and so we felt quite at our ease. Three days after school opened, our classmate Mamie Ruth Spangler became ill with typhoid fever and lingered for three short weeks. Her death was mourned by the entire class. This year we had the honor of having two of the members of our class, Leta Speer and Ruth Huston, on the Girls' Basket ball team. During our Sophomore year several of the boys discarded knicker- bockers for trousers. With the beginning of the second semester we began to study our Geometry very hard and the next time we re- ceived our grade cards there were several hundreds. Mt. Carmel Hospital had the care of two of our members, Hugh Rosecrans and William Frazier, but we are glad that they are back with us again. We had a class party at the home of Ethel Furry on March 17th. The members of the Sophomore class and their invited guests were there to the number of forty. One feature of the evening was magic lantern pictures. We departed at a late hour for our homes, having had a fine time. This ends our History for the past two years. We do not know what our History for the next two years will be, but in the language of the poet, we say, "Our future is just what we make it." --Ruth Domigan '18 Title A name given to the resource The Owl 1916 (46) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/f0eb1e7adc7e1d61d33610bca4ce9aa8.jpg effe62ea448807eee166475199561fad 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 48 Corresponds to page 44 of The Owl 1916 A Huge Joke Among the passengers to board the train at Caxton were Mr. and Mrs. James Smythe and Mr. and Mrs. Harry Smythe and baby Louise. As Mrs. James leaned back in her seat she delicately shook her head and the folds of her gown to see if any tell-tale grains of rice might be lurking there. James observed the movement and smiled tenderly at her, conveying all the love in that smile of which a husband of two hours is capable. Mr. and Mrs. Harry smiled also, for they were thinking of a time only two years past when they were newly-weds, too. Perhaps it would be well to inform the reader that Harry and James are twin brothers, looking just as much alike as "two peas in a pod." Indeed no ordinary observer could have told them apart. Both had gone to college, but strange as it may seem, to different places, Harry to M____ and James to Boston. They were thirty years old, so their college chums had not seen them for a long time. Jim had wired one of his chums of his wedding and as they were passing thru Boston he casually mentioned the day and the train upon which he might be expected. After he had done this he had some misgiving as to whether he had acted wisely, for he remembered how they treated the newly-weds, in his younger days. He thought he caught a glimpse of his salvation when Harry announced that he was going on the same day to Boston on business. Just now Jim's eyes rested on a card saying, "Just Married" attached to one of his suit cases. Skillfully turning it so as to conceal the card, he said to Harry, "Say, Harry, why can't you take my suitcases up to the hotel, and we'll take yours and the baby? We both stop at the same hotel you know." "Why, what makes the difference?" answered his brother. "Oh, None! Only people won't think that we are just married. But--of course if you don't want to--" James turned away with an air of resignation. "Cut that, Jim, you know I'd do anything to please you. Of course we will, won't we Mary?" Then he turned to the demure little woman at his side. "Certainly," she said, smilingly, "anything you say, dear." Then they determined to see if Louise would vote in the affirmative. Harry handed her over to James and she so far as one could judge from external appearance was perfectly satisfied and signified the same by dropping to sleep in her uncle's arms. James drew a deep breath of satisfaction for he thought, if anything does hap- pen, Trix and I will be on the safe side, since they have never seen Mary or my wife, they will think that Harry is the bridegroom and he early chuckled as he kicked the suitcase with the "just married" placard attached. But alas! Little did Jim know what the fates had in store for him. By this time they had reached Boston and Jim, grasping Harry's suitcases and taking baby Louise, lost no time in getting off the train--on the left side we may add by way of explanaton. This occurred because he happened to notice a large automobile profusely decorated with signs and the placard "We're living on Love," up by the curbing on the right side and surrounded by a large number of the fraternity boys.

Description An account of the resource page 49 Corresponds to page 45 of The Owl 1916 No sooner did the boys see Harry's suitcase than they saw that the desired object of their search had arrived and proceeded to shout their congratulations into that astonished gentleman's ear. Did I say "astonished"? Well, that is the faintest possible term to be applied to the state of the minds of Harry and Mary. Presently they saw that they were being conducted toward that profusely decorated automobile. Harry's heart sank like lead. He then tried to tell his captors that they were making a mistake, but if they heard they did not heed. Presently he found his wife and himself escorted to the machine and when he saw that the buildings were seemingly moving he realized that they must be moving instead. The haze before his mind seemed to gradually disappear, then he saw why Jim was so anzious to exchange suitcases. "Oh, when I see him," he muttered between his teeth, "I'll make him pay for this." Then ye gods, he thought of his baby. For well he knew that Jim's knowledge of babies was very limited. He had looked at his watch before he left the train and then glancing over the man's shoulder just in front of him he ascertained that they were going at least forty miles per hour. Doing a little calculation in his mind he discovered that they were about twenty-five miles from Boston. The boys seemed to be enjoying themselves immensely for they kept up a continued flow of conversation and when they passed a farmhouse they did not neglect to test their lung power. The people whom they passed also seemed to be enjoying themselves at Harry's and Mary's expense. When all this was passing thru Harry's mind--crack! and a tire was punc- tured! The boys piled out, not forgetting to take out the newly weds' suitcases as a further precaution. As it took some time to repair the damage Harry and his wife engaged in a whispered conversation to the effect that when the boy said that it was just about repaired he quietly got over into the front seat and when the boys cranked up he sailed gracefully away leaving an astonished group of boys standing precisely in the center of the road twenty-five miles from Boston. It is true that they left the suitcases but they were Jim's, so why borrow trouble? Meanwhile Jim and Trix were having troubles of heir own. When baby Louise awoke she ascertained that it was not her father that held her and began to inform James of the fact by a series of cries, punctuated now and then by an emphatic kick. He then thought if he removed his coat he could handle baby Louise to a better advantage. So off came the coat. Of course it is foolish to think that the baby could detect any difference for, at least she didn't. "Where, oh where are Harry and Mary? Why don't they come? Don't they know I can't take care of a baby?" These and similar questions flashed thru Jim's mind. Finally he sheepishly handed Louise over to Trix and said that he was going down to tell the clerk that if Mr. and Mrs. Harry Smythe came in to tell them to come up to No. 166 at once. He flew up the stairs to his room. He then picked up the nearly frantic Louise and proceeded to walk the floor with her. This seemed to quiet her for a while and he glanced trimuhantly at his wife, but alas! pride goeth before a fall; for when the novelty of the situation wore off she commenced her protestations with renewed vigor, emphasizing the same by running a soft hand thru his hair and seizing large handfuls of it with such determinaton that nearly caused the roots of his hair to dissolve partnership with his scalp. Now, an automobile had just pulled up in front of the hotel and Mr. and Mrs. Harry alighted before the car had hardly reached a standstill. Just as Harry finished registering, the clerk said that a gentleman in No. 166 wanted to see him.

Description An account of the resource page 50 Corresponds to page 46 of The Owl 1916 Harry didn't stop to knock at the door to which he was easily guided by Louise' frantic cries for help. He stopped short at the sight he beheld, if Jim had been in better humor and less worried, he would have laughed heartily at the extremely ludicrous spectacle. Mary had arrived by this time, she, too, stopped short and looked. Mary was the first to break the spell. "Why, you foolish children, didn't you know that baby Louise was hungry and wanted something to eat." So saying she went to one of the suitcases and opened it. Then she extracted a bottle of milk at the sight of which Louise ceased her struggles and became quiet. Harry proceeded to ask Jim the reason why he had played him such a mean trick, then he related his adventures. "Upon my word, Harry, I didn't think it would have been quite so serious or I wouldn't have done if for anything. But talk of getting even, just as if you haven't." Here he glanced significantly at Louise, who was now lying contentedly on her mother's lap. There they all laughed and Harry said that he did not envy the boys their walk home, who we may as well admit resolved never again, from this day forth to disturb a newly married couple. "By the way, Harry, what did you do with our suitcases," asked Trix. "Why," stammered Harry, "I almost forgot but you'll find them out where our tire got punctured, about 25 miles from here, I think." Here Mary interposed, "I think Jim ought to be made to go for the suitcases for the origin of the whole plot lies with him." All heartily agreed and pronounced themselves no worse off for the day's adventure. --Susanna Spearman '17. illustration of owl Title A name given to the resource The Owl 1916 (50) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/6dfa9191ea5e67bb4ffa1766f7494824.jpg fb936dfb59fc557ee05ed3ca78d7272d 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 54 Corresponds to page 50 of The Owl 1916 Basket Ball Sunbury boys' basket ball team came up to the expecta- tions this year, and carried away the county championship without a single defeat. The team work was excellent in spite of the fact that only three of the team had played together before and the other two had never had any experience on a team. The schedule included games with the best teams in the county. Out of six games played our boys won all six making an average of 100%. During the season our team scored 197 points to their oppo- nents 58, an average of over 32 points per game or a lead of 139 points. The season was officially opened at Ashley, when in the best and fastest game of the season, Ashley went down in defeat and Sun- bury returned home carrying their scalps, having won the first game to score 28-17. At the return game our boys had things their own way. After banqueting both the boys and girls teams, the Ashley boys were sent home in defeat with a score of 33-3. The next game was with Powell on their grounds and this proved to be one of the easiest games of the season and Sunbury returned home with a 40-14 victory. The next players to be met were our rivals from Radnor whom we played on our home ground and defeated 32-12. This victory was mighty sweet, for the Radnor boys had taken the Track meet the spring before. Our next victory was the return game with Powell and this time they played a better game but they strived in vain and were again drubbed 30-7. The season closed with our return game with Radnor and again forced them to bow down to our colors with the score 34-5. Ray Eley playing his third year for S.H.S. displayed the best playing he has shown during his basket ball career. He was the scoring machine of the Sunbury aggregation, having an average of over 9 goals in each game. Mose Beaver playing his first year for S.H.S. displayed great form. Although he did not make so many baskets he aided greatly in the passing and team work. Captain Dick Paul, as center, laying his third and last year for S.H.S., played exceptionally well at center this year and aided team greatly in the knock off. Manager Huston and Squire Gray were excellent guards. Their work was always of high order, both in guarding and returning ball to the Sunbury forwards.

They had oppor- tunities to disply their skill in a few games and always showed up well. Mr. St. Clair, principal and coach of the team, deserves praise in his successful coaching of the team and encouraging them on to victory. Through this year's team all leave by graduation there is plenty of material in the school for a good team next year and they should be able to defend Sunbury's present title and win the championship again next year. --Ray Eley, '16 Track Season of 1915 The season was not what could be called a success, owing to bad weather and lack of competition. Still by the coach- ing of Mr. St. Clair, we had a team which was by no means the poorest in the meet, as it won third place. Radnor came first with a score of 28, Galena second with 25 points, and Sunbury following with 24 points. Most of the team is back this year and if they show a little more competition there is not reason why they should not come out first. By graduation some of the team go out this year so it is the school's ambitioin to win this spring while our chances are good for doing so. The others schools had better not get to napping too much just because they beat us last year. We were handicapped then and they had better look out for us, this year for we are bad. --Ray Eley '16 TRACK [drawing of student clearing a hurdle] Title A name given to the resource The Owl 1916 (55) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/7fabea03ac6ebd8cceca28721e1f9794.jpg b7b2ebd3954b3cdbe1d89cf8a3aad738 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Out of the four games played they won 2. The season's score was 36 points to opponents 33. The first game was against the Ashley girls and came out a tie; but in playing the tie off our girls won out by score of 9-7. The teams' Waterloo came next, and they were defeated both times by the Powell girls. The last game of the season was with Radnor and ended in a victory for our girls 14-6. This game was played on our home ground and evidently the Radnor girls saw enough of our girls for they did not allow them to play the return game. All of the team except one will be back next year and they will have a better chance to defend the quality of Athletics as put out by this school, and it is the hope of the school to see them win the cham- pionship next year. --Ray Eley, '16 Title A name given to the resource The Owl 1916 (57) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/522b617052bd0962bc25decf7a66ea61.jpg 6ea4cfb4592997a491e5c13ccdc5949d 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 65 Corresponds to page 61 of The Owl 1916 DEFINITION OF A KNOCKER After God finished the rattle-snake, the toad and the vampire he had some awful "Substance" left, from which he made a Knocker. A knocker is a two-legged animal with a cork-screw soul, a water-sogged brain and a combination backbone made of jelly and glue; where other people have their hearts he carries a tumor of rotten principles. When the knocker comes down the street, honest men turn their backs, the angels weep tears in Heaven and the devil shuts the gates of Hell to keep him out. No man has a right to be a knocker as long as there is a pool of water deep enough to drown his body in or a rope to hang his carcass with. Judas Iscariot was a gentleman compared to a knocker for after betraying his Master he had enough character to hang himself and a knocker has not. The Sophies do study but none too much, For they like too well To write notes and the such. The Freshmen do work their books they adore, But many a one Has stood on the floor.

The upper classmen gaineth favor but the way of the Freshman is rugged. Answer a Freshman according to his foolishness lest he putteth on airs. A wise student taketh his horse to class; the foolish one leaves it at home. Behold the sports of the school. They toil not neither do they spin yet they try to slip thru the high school. Go to the Senior, Oh! Sophomore, consider his ways and get wise.

Description An account of the resource [page 7] [corresponds to page 5] THE OWL five YOUR SCHOOL AND MINE To the Patrons and Friends of the School and Readers of the Owl In behalf of the teachers of the Sunbury Public Schools I wish to thank you for the many kindnesses you have rendered toward your school and mine during the past school year. Without your co-operation we could not have done the many things we have succeeded to do. We have, with your help, made this school stand well in this community and high in the esteem of the other schools in this and other counties and well recommended by the State Department of Public Instruction. Our pupils have enjoyed a pleasant year. Their fellowship has been very close and the splendid co-operation of teacher and pupil has made this year's social life amiable. Contact with good teachers makes the elements of education real. The Sunbury teachers are devoted men and women whose lives are given to the task of helping boys and girls realize their highest possibilities. They aim to teach preparation for service. Their purpose, ideals, and motives are distinctly Christian. Their high standards of scholarship, their interest in health, social and recreational activities help to make the Sunbury boys and girls what we would like to have them. Our school system does not narrow to any one-sided course or pursuit, but endeavors to broaden its possibilities in so far as expansion is co-extensive with good pedagogy. Each department of our school is not forgetful of their weekly or daily religious services. The first six grades hold their services in their respective rooms, while the grammar grades and the high school hold their Chapel service together regularly on Wednesday of each week. This service is frequently honored by some local or foreign visitor who speaks on current topics of interest and shares with the students the inspiration gained through experience. In order that the pupils may be stimulated in Literary Art the Sunbury Board of Education regularly employees a teacher in Public Speaking and Expression. The work of this teacher is required in the first six grades and is made elective in the upper six. Much interest is taken in this work and a marked improvement in expression is noticed among the students. Each pupil is given an opportunity to appear in public at least once during the school year. November the twenty-third the public had an opportunity to hear the lower grades in an appropriate program rendered at the Opera House. While the grammar grades proved themselves capable of pleasing the parents and patrons of the school in a patriotic program given February the Twenty-fourth. The high school regularly maintains its literary societies, the Athenian and Philomathean. Each fall the freshman class is by lot divided into the above mentioned societies. Separate meetings are held monthly at 7:30 o'clock P.M. in the school building, where the public is cordially invited. Here the students are trained in conducting business meetings and are drilled in oration, essay and debate and other numbers of literary nature. Often times after the program a social time is enjoyed in the basement of the building where teacher and pupil become better acquainted and enjoy themselves together. In the spring a literary contest is held between the societies where much interest is displayed. Our high school trains an affirmative and a negative debating team, which meet similar teams from other high schools in Delaware county in friendly debate. We also furnish an orator in the County High School Oratorical Contest. Freehand drawing and landscape painting is taught in the first eight grades. Much interest has been created and the teachers report work well done and much accomplished. Music has made much progress in our schools. The lower grades are taught by their teachers, while the upper grades are supervised by Mr. Neilson. The high school orchestra and glee club have done exceedingly well, and have furnished musical enjoyment at most of the school's public programs, and during Chapel. Now and then they render a public program. They will furnish the music at the baccalaureate and commencement exercises. Although athletics are secondary in our school we think them necessary. We try to develop winning teams, but to win at any price is not our aim. Our boys and girls have won one bronze, one silver and two gold medals in athletic contests within the last year. And the girls track team has held the silver loving cup of the Delaware County Athletic Association as a prize won at the track meets in 1921 and 1922. We encourage the moral, mental, physical and social aspects of our school life and try not overemphasize any one of them to the utter lack or destruction of the other. We believe in a system that will be all round and one that will be adapted to the needs of the community in which we live. We invite you to the school. We solicite the hearty co-operation of citizen, patron and alumnus. We believe that where there is union there is strength. A word now and then of constructive criticism and encouragement will make your school and mine bigger and better. So with best wishes to all we bid you farewell. ASA C. MYERS, Supt.

The building is located at the south-west corner of the school grounds among fifty-six shade trees. There is a very good cement walk leading from Harrison street to the building. A beautiful privet hedge lines the walk. Although one of the oldest school buildings in the county it is not old from general appearance, but is fast growing out of date for lack of adequate recitation and study space. Every available place is being used. Three rooms in the basement are used for Domestic Science, Manual Training and Science. Five rooms are used on the first floor for the first six grades, the library and office. And four rooms on the second floor are used for the Gram- mar Grades and the High School. The time is not far distant when this building will either have to be re- placed by a new one or given over to the grades and a modern structure erected elsewhere for high school purposes.

When we climbed the historic stairs to the large Assembly Room it was with nervous and lagging steps. But when we beheld many other unfortunate "Freshies" who were from the surrounding townships and greener yet than we, we took courage and re- solved to stay. A meeting was held the first week of school and the following officers were elected: Leota Domigan, President; William Whitney, Vice-President; and Mary Brookins, Secretary. As the days rolled by we received our share of hazing, but nevertheless we proceeded to acquire laurels by diligent study. In September, 1919, when the Sophomore Class collected, it was to our sad disappointment to find that our number was reduced to seventeen. But we proceeded to make the best of the affair and elected William Whitney, President; Walter Carpenter, Vice-President, and Sterling Beaver, Secre- tary and Treasurer. The crowning event of the year was the reception we gave the Freshmen in the basement of our school building. It was a great success and it has been a custom since then for the Sophomore Class to give a reception for the Freshmen. In our Junior year our number was reduced to fourteen, but they were the old stand-bys and we proceeded to elect Gerald Crowl, President; Ells- worth Meeker, Vice-President; Walter Carpenter, Secretary and Treasurer. We gave a class play at the K.P. Opera House in the latter part of April, which was a great success. During this year the President called a special meeting at which time our motto was changed to "Out of School Life into Life's School." The greatest of our achievements was the successful han- dling of the Junior-Senior banquet--a success from start to finish due to the natural ability of the Juniors. At an early meeting in the Senior Year, we bestowed upon Walter Car- penter the honorable office of President of the Senior Class, also elected Ells- worth Meeker, Vice-President, and William Whitney, Secretary and Treas- urer. The Senior Class is very well represented in all the Athletic Events and in the Literary Work. Our class rings are very artistic, and of our own designing, having our class colors gold and blue on the ring, which is something new. One of our last and most enjoyable events of the year was the Junior- Senior Banquet given in our honor and the Commencement in which but fourteen participated. This ends the history of the class of '22 and in passing from the confines of good old S.H.S. we pause to extend heartiest thanks to the Faculty and congratulations to the classes following us in the hope that they may attain loftier standards and ideals than we were able to attain. We are proud to say that it was in S.H.S. that we were prepared to cope with the problems of the world which we are to face. We turn our backs reluctantly on the High School where we are now numbered among the Alumni.

Description An account of the resource [page 17] [corresponds to page 15] THE OWL fifteen HISTORY OF CLASS 1923 In the year of 1919 we were introduced into S.H.S. with the proud title of Freshmen. We then believed that we had reached the heights of learning. But lo! Not long had we traveled the road of High School when we saw loom- ing up in our pathway a hugh mountain. The composition of the rugged por- tion of this mountain was hard studies, examinations, hazing rules, and the smooth and bright part was composed of athletics, parties, and all social fa- fairs. We were all struck dumb with horror, but at last we formed the con- clusion that we must work and strive for the summit. Slowly we began the ascent endeavoring to take a firm footing at every step in order that we would not fall back on dangerous grounds called low grades. In the beginning all worked diligently but as time swept on and on the mountain became more rugged, and some became careless and they took no care in choosing their footing and downward slid, not stopping at one step but sliding many. Some seemed to move on with an easy pace. The way seemed free from obstacles for them, while for others the way was more difficult and blocaded, but onward we struggled, sometimes slipping a step downward, this inspiring us to work and study harder for that set goal. The careless became more careless, indifferent, discouraged, and weary of heart, and looking up they could see moving forms of the others disappear- ing far in the distance of high grades. Many times we were saved from hard and bruising falls by a winding root or firm shrub projecting from out the side of the cliff or by a ray of light thrown out by our instructors into our dark and bewildered minds brighten- ing the shadows there. At the end of many months of striving we came to our final struggle, which was to determine whether we were strong enough to reach the first ledge and be termed Sophomores or remain below. But to our joy a number of seventeen stood the test and were classed as Sophomores. We were faint and weary with the struggle which we had maintained, but here upon the ledge we were to remain for a brief length of time called vacation. Here we inhaled the pure and invigorating air which strengthened our bodies and minds for another struggle. Soon we started on with light hearts all pushing toward the same goal, which was to gain Junior rank. Onward and upward we strove. This ascent was not as steep as the preceding one but we kept working, working from daylight until dark. Often as we passed along we saw the signs "Do not trespass" which were the laws layed down by our experienced instructors. These warnings were excellent ones and bade us beware, for if we broke through into these grounds we were justly punished. Quickly the time sped onward and soon we all safely mounted the second ledge together, where we made a stop for a brief period of time. From this second ledge we see very distinctly the top and how light our hearts become when we think of the time when we will stand on the highest point of the mountain and smile as we think we have gained it at last. But let me not for a moment impress upon your mind that our school life has been all trials and hardships for much time have we had for our enjoy- ments, which partly was spent for athletics and we are proud to be able to say that one of our girl classmates received the highest honors ever presented to any girl in the county. We are also proud of the fact that one of our boys received a medal for a worthy feat. We have also indulged in literary work, parties and all kinds of funmaking. Now we start on again for the last ledge called Seniors, we are putting forth every effort as we sincerely believe that it will not be long until we have reached the long sought for goal.

Our band numbered just forty-three, A worthwhile number don't you see? We battled and struggled amid the blast, Striving always to be ahead in our class. Though often times we failed to succeed It stirred us on to a worthier deed. Some were discouraged, gave up in despair, While the rest struggled on with the greatest of care, And at the beginning of the following year Some were held back, we were sorry to hear. But onward and upward we worked with a will, Endeavoring with fervor our tasks to fulfill. At last came our test for the second year, But our work was successful in spite of our fear. But now happy Juniors, we, you will find; And because of our conduct we are sometimes behind, But with better endeavor we resolve now to strive To be dignified Seniors, our hope and our pride.

Description An account of the resource [page 20] [corresponds to page 18] eighteen THE OWL HISTORY OF CLASS 1924 On the first Monday in September, 1920, we began our career at S.H.S. as Freshmen. There were thirty-five of us and all were a little shy and silently took the jokes which were thrust at us by the upper classmen. The first thing of any importance was the Welcome Party given us by the Sopho- more. We were initiated at that party and when we returned home nearly every one was thinking "Some one is always taking the joy out of life," but that thought was never spoken. Several members of the class were on the Girls Basketball Team and two or three were on the Track Team. All were in great fear of the examinations but when they were over most of us passed to the dignified rank of Sophomores, although a few found it too hard to make a grade of 75% and remained in the Freshman Class. In September, 1921, twenty-eight again made their appearance at S.H.S. but now we were Sophomores and no longer feared the taunts of the other classes. We had the satisfaction of initiating the "Little Freshies" this year and held a party in their honor. Before Christmas the four classes had been selling Christmas Seals and the "Freshies" sold more than we did, so to satisfy them, we, together with the Seniors, gave a party at the schoolhouse in honor of the Juniors and Freshmen. When the time to return home came all were loath to go but when we did the vote that we had had a good time was unanimous. At the beginning of the second semester some of us attempted Geometry, but goodness! Our smiles faded from our faces and perplexing looks began to take their place. But we are all striving, ever striving to reach our goal and become Juniors. This is our history as Freshmen and Sophomores, but as Juniors and Seniors we expect to become more brilliant and to wear even wiser looks than we do now and we shall always have with us our motto "Hard work brings Success." MARGARET BARTON, '24 SOPHOMORE CLASS POEM One time I got to thinking of the way we Sophomores have spent our time, On the humdrum work of studying, and the tasks that never end. So I counted up the minutes, and the answer made me blink; I found we spent one hour in five merely trying to think. And so we got to hating the dull things we had to do, School doesn't seem worth a snap, with the Sophomores so blue, For we would stand there working problems, in a mood as black as ink, Till teacher called the class to order, just merely trying to think. And then as we sat thinking we could look away so far, Passed the meadows to the woodland, where the red wood lilies are, And in fancy we could wander down the blossom bordered stream, And our hated tasks we finished, when we came back from our dream. And now it isn't drudging, and the reason is, we think, That the Sophomores have discovered the importance of ink. And now we hardly ever think, for we write things with a smile, And take time each day to dream, a little dream once in awhile.

We entered the High School on Sept. 5, 1921, greeted by the happy cheers and jibes of the upper classmen and our friends-to-be. All started out to have a good time, thinking it was a joke to drop from nine subjects to four. It did not take long however, for most of us to realize our mistake and start to work with the resolve to make good. After three weeks of hard study the Sophomores gave an initiation party in our honor. It was held in the basement of the School Building and every one turned out to have a good time, also to enjoy the refreshments. Every one was then properly and some painfully initiated. Then we were really and truly Freshmen and Oh, what a "grand and glorious feel" it was. As we were then Freshmen proper a meeting was held to organize the class and elect officers, and choose our class colors. Ralph Piper was elected President; Bunice Vermillion, Vice-President; Helen Morris, Secretary, and Kenneth Roof, Treasurer, with Raymond Jennings, Sergeant-at-Arms. A vote was then taken on the class colors and purple and gold were chosen. Gold the conquering hue of the sun and purple to represent royalty. What a grand thing it would be if the forty that started in as Freshmen and chose those colors to represent them through their high school course, could graduate under them in the Spring of '25 and know that they had won a great victory. They would then enter upon the broad plain of life with those inspiring colors ever before their eyes as a guide, and a new resolution to win the greater battle before them, even as they had won that other battle which had started in the Assembly Room of the Sunbury High School on Sept. 5th, 1921. MILDRED LAMON, '25 FRESHMAN CLASS POEM 'Twas in the Fall of 'twenty-one, As a Freshman class they had just begun, They came to old S. H. S. and they Will be remembered for many a day. They entered school some forty strong, and showed the Sophomores that they were wrong In thinking Freshmen were all green And never should be heard nor seen. And in the classroom it was found, As well as on the athletic ground, That Freshmen were the ones to shine, And take the honors every time. Though Freshmen come and Freshmen go, The time will never come, I know, When you will find a class more alive Than the famous class of 'twenty-five.

Chorus: Joyous and ever loyal, Let us boost for our "Old High," Let ev'ry heart sing, Let ev'ry voice ring, There's no time to grieve or sigh; It's ever onward, our course pursuing, May defeat ne'er our ardor cool, But, united, we will boost for her, Our Old High School. Honors she has taken, On the track and with the ball, May she always rank the highest, May her colors never fail; There's no other that can match her, When her team is on the field, Her boys the fleetest, her girls the sweetest, Then here's a cheer for her, for her who ne'er will yield.

We have endeavored to extend its contents to our present school year eliminating all that was possible concerning activities previous to that time. As we are all human we are subject to mistakes. But by the efficient labor of the Staff, we strove to free our Annual from all mistakes. We feel that our school is giving you an edition equal to that of much larger schools and one which you cannot call cheap. We hope that in future years many Editions will be added to the present ones and that each one will find itself farther advanced than the latter. ATHLETICS Athletics in Sunbury High, the year of 1922, show a marked success over those of the past few years. We had one of the best basketball quintettes ever produced by our school, and one which deserves much credit. One of its members received the gold medal at the O.W.U. State Tournament for the highest scoring guard from villages with a population from 500 to 1500. We are also able to place a real baseball team on the field, one which will bring honor in future years, as it is composed of seven first year men. Our girls were able to participate in the County Championship basket- ball game. They also brought home the honors from the track meet last spring. One member of the squad won three events which was sufficient to obtain a gold medal. Athletics have been and will be beneficial to our school. It has taken the place of Physical Training. It has aroused our spirit to the highest point and has helped to bring honor to Sunbury and Community. MUSIC A High School Glee Club and a High School Orchestra were organized. Mr. Neilson acted as director of both organizations.

There is no doubt that the musical organizations of the year are the best in the history of the Sunbury High School. LITERARY SOCIETIES' ACTIVITIES This school-year has witnessed increased interest and activity in both Athenian and Philomathean Literary Societies. Several evening programs have been given at the school and a contest between the two societies given at K. of P. Hall was enthusiastically received by old members of the societies, as well as by the public in general. The support given the officers of the or- ganization by the pupils has been quite satisfactory. Education is to fit one to take his place in the world. Knowledge is val- uable only when translated into action. The society work gives training in expression, and opportunity for application of knowledge gained in class- room work. The only adverse criticisms we have to make of the year's work is that from a literary standpoint the programs given at the school were of a light nature. The programs should not necessarily be funerals, but their purpose should be instructive rather than entertaining. A thought was expressed in each society this year, that is worth re- membering this year and possibly the next: Keep on improving, but re- member there is always room for more improvement. The benefit you receive from your society is equal to the effort you put into it. PAUL MILLER, '22 THE LITERARY One of the rules Ohio hands down to her first-class high schools is, that they shall have a library in the school which contains reference on the various subjects taught. We are glad to say that the past four years have each seen some im- provement made in our library. The class of '17 presented the school with two sectional bookcases, which met the approval of the school inspector and saved our school from loss of charter. Last fall the library was moved to the lower floor into the room formerly used by the Superintendent. Since then Miss Jeffrey, with the assistance of two boys in the school, has succeeded in indexing the three hundred and fifty books under the duo-decimal system. The Encyclopedia which had been in the school for some time was get- ting out of date, and the new Encyclopedia, the gift of the Class of '21, made a great addition to the library. Current news and literature are provided this year by the Ohio State Journal, Atlantic Monthly, American Magazine, Scientific Review and Amer- ican Boy. Next year should see some improvement in the care of magazines. It is progress like this that keeps Sunbury on top!

The same thing can be said of our negative team and of the team at Berlin in regard to the preparing and delivery of their speeches as has been said of the teams mentioned before. The Sunbury team seemed to have the better arguments but lacked the necessary punch to put them across due to their short period of training, while Miss Stevens of Berlin won the debate for her school in her last rebuttal speech, due to her effective style.

Description An account of the resource [page 30] [corresponds to page 28] twenty-eight THE OWL BURIED TREASURE On the outskirts of the little town of Clydesville, New York, stood a small four roomed cottage. At a glance one could tell it was a home where poverty prevailed, yet there was not a dry leaf or broken stick to mar the tidiness of the miniature lawn. This was the home of John Henderson, his wife and twin children, Jimmie and Jennie, who were now ten years of age. At six o'clock a tall man of apparently fifty years, opened the door of this little house and with a heavy step entered. Discouragement was apparent by the weariness of his eyes and in the stoop of his shoulders; but his eyes brightened somewhat as he caught sight of the curly heads of the twins, who, as they saw him, sprang up from their play with the joyful cry of "Daddy" and receiving in turn a hug and a kiss. "Any success, John?" called the gentle voice of his wife, from the kitch- en where she was preparing their meager dinner. "No," the discouraged look was in his eyes again, "and Clara I've about given up hope of ever getting a position. It seems there are no vacant places for salesmen. I'm sure I don't know how we are going to meet the rent next week." "There, dear, you are just tired. Things will look better in a few days. See, I've got warm biscuits for dinner." Mrs. Henderson spoke with a voice that was lighter than her heart. "And, oh, Daddy," spoke up Jennie's voice excitedly, "Teacher says Jim- mie and I must each have two new books. Won't that be nice?" but she did not know that her innocent words caused her father to groan inwardly, and her mother's heart to sink. After the children were in their little beds and peacefully sleeping, the father and mother held a consultation. How could they meet the rent and pay for the children's books? They were of too proud and fine a nature to allow Jimmie and Jennie to be without the necessities of the school life; and they knew the landlord would willingly turn them out if the rent was not paid. At last Mrs. Henderson said-- "Well, we can sell my prize quilt for at least thirty-five dollars. That will pay the rent for this month and leave ten dollars for books and clothing for the children. By next month business will surely pick up." "I certainly hope so. But wait until Monday and if I do not find anything by that time, then I'm afraid that altho I am reluctant to do it we shall have to sell the quilt. If this should be necessary we shall have to replace it with another and as I saw one advertised among the unclaimed articles at the Custom House perhaps we can buy that at a low price." Upon this decision they were agreed, and so on Saturday, as Mr. Hen- derson was still unemployed, his wife got out her quilt and with a sad heart, brushed and aired it, bringing out the lights of its richly embroidered colors. It was indeed a beautiful thing and was famous for the prizes that had been awarded it; but to Mrs. Henderson it carried thoughts of its maker, her old mother. The wonderful quilt had not been advertised long, before Mr. Simpson, the wealthiest man in town bought it as a wedding present for his niece. He was a kind old gentleman, and knowing the financial circumstances of the Hendersons, he at once offered them fifty dollars for it. With great thank- fulness Mrs. Henderson accepted, thinking that surely her cup of blessings was overflowing. But alas! her happiness was to be shortlived. exclaimed, She was preparing lunch for just herself and the children as Mr. Hender- son had gone to the auction, when Jimmie, who was standing near the window Title A name given to the resource The Owl, Vol. II, 1922 (p.30) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/f2d1c9467f286ed6d8e04f8c020b18a0.jpg 890c16af059be5d41f0714d1df0f5586 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Who do you suppose it is?" As Mrs. Henderson glanced out of the window she noticed that the men were looking in the direction of her house anxiously but thinking nothing of it she resumed her work. Suddenly Jennie cried, "Mother! Mother! It's our Daddy and he is so white!" Mrs. Henderson grasped the back of a chair for support. Yes, the men were stopping at the gate and there was no need questioning to whom that pallid face belonged. Stumbling she groped her way to the door with the chil- dren following her, crying hysterically. But before answering the hesitating knock she turned to the children and said in a voice that she struggled to keep calm, "Listen children, remember if something has happened to Daddy, you are Mother's little helpers." Almost instantly they dried their tears and by this assurance of their aid she regained her composure somewhat, then opened the door. It seemed that host of weeping women and grave-faced men swarmed around that still form. The one, who seemed to be the spokesman, stepped forward a trifle and coughed twice before he said stammeringly, "I'm very sorry to have to tell you but--but there--there's something happened. It's his heart, and--and--" "Go on," she whispered hoarsely. "He's dead, ma'am." Oh, what grief and trouble those words have the power to bring about! To Mrs. Henderson they brought the commencement of many years of strug- gle for the livelihood of herself and children. Poverty had not been so hard to bear when the two had borne it together, but she could not as yet trouble the merry hearts of the children with her worries. But young as they were they realized why her eyes were troubled and her face so often careworn, and they strove to make her life a little happier each day. They longed for an educa- tion and by working in the summers and on holidays, the twins were able to go regularly to the village school. Now we shall turn over the chapters of the lives of the three till seven years from the day of the unexpected death of Mr. Henderson. The quilt that he had bought just an hour before his death, had been brought in unnoticed by a neighbor and was kept by the widow as something sacred. It was by no means beautiful, but at the sight of it on this day, Mrs. Henderson's eyes filled with tears. She was replacing it gently in the box when a young girl of seventeen entered the room and crossed to where her mother was standing. She laid her arm across the silent woman's shoulders and touched the quilt reverently and as she did so a sharp rustle of paper at- tracted her attention. They looked at each other wonderingly. "Why, Mother, there is a paper inside! What do you suppose it is? And Look! The quilt seems to have been slit and loosely sewed up. Oh, let's investigate!" "Now Jennie you mustn't expect to find a package of love letters or anything so romantic," smiled her mother teasingly, "But to satisfy our curiosity I suppose we shall have to look. Get the scissors, dear." Very much excited Jennie started to reopen the slit in the quilt. She hoped it would contain something that would lead to an adventure! Or if it was money, both she and Jimmie could graduate at the same time, she hoped it would be so, for Jimmie had generously given up the thought of graduating at the same time as his sister, knowing that they could not afford it. So, eagerly she pulled out the envelope that was within and tore it open. Then she gave a little cry of disappointment, "Oh, Mother, it is nothing but some kind of an old map. Oh why couldn't it have been something worth while?" "Perhaps it is, dear, let me see it," and carefully scanning the paper Mrs. Henderson saw on the reverse side these closely written words.

I have in my possession about ten thousand dollars in gold, silver, and jewels and it is buried under a block in my cellar. The block can be lifted out of position by a sidewise pull on the iron ring that is attached to it. My hut is deep in the woods known as Giant Forest. Perhaps it will be hard to find, but don't be discouraged for the goal is worth working for. I am too feeble to write more, buy may it be that this wealth will bring more happiness and be more useful to you than to me.--Simon La Mon. Even Mrs. Henderson could not contain her excitement. If this were true and they could find the treasure, it would mean no more economizing for the dire necessities of life. But she was silent until evening when Jimmie, now a handsome stalwart youth, could be with them to hear the circumstances. At last with the dishes cleared away the lamps lighted she read the scribbled note to the attentive twins. Jimmie's eyes shown like stars as he welcomed this opportunity for adventure, and Jennie's heart sang as she pictured her mother no longer a drudge, and herself wearing pretty clothes. For what young girl doesn't like to be well dressed? "Why Mother, I saw that cabin and became quite good friends with the old man while picking blackberries several years ago. I am sure I can find the place again, will you let me try?" asked Jimmie eagerly. "And can I go with him?" chimed in Jennie. "Why, yes, you may both go, altho it will not be very safe to enter Giant Forest without a guide. Don't you suppose you had better get Indian Joe to help you?" "He's the very one, Mother! I'm sure he'll help us. I'll run over and see him now." So saying Jimmie left the house. Arriving at the hut where the old guide lived, Jimmie quickly explained his mission. At the conclusion Joe gave his characteristic grunt, "Ugh! Me know old white man and know way to his wigwam. Me lead you and good sister to it. Me like to return good deed for good deed. When do we start?" "Sis and I will be here as early as possible tomorrow morning. Thanks Joe, you're a real friend." Who would not dream of great things if such an opportunity were thrown in their way? So it was with the twins, and they could hardly wait for morning to come. When the first gray streaks had begun to show in the east they were up and off to Indian Joe's hut, dressed in old clothes and carrying a day's provisions; but they were not ahead of the old hunter for he was also prepared, having whittled out three stout sticks to help them over the rough places and as they started to leave he handed Jimmie a light gun, the duplicate of the one he carried himself. The great woods was only two miles out of town, but strangely enough the lonely in habitant had been known by a very few, perhaps because he depended on game and fish for his food and very rarely any one visited the Giant Forest for fear of becoming lost. But with Indian Joe as a guide the twins were safe for he had the power of guidance habitual to his tribe. Easily he found the faint trace of a foot-path that lead to the old cabin, and Jimmie and Jennie must be forgiven for not hearing the joyous song of the birds or noting so many of Nature's works as they usually did, for they were eagerly looking forward to getting a glimpse of the Treasure Hut. Ah, there it was! Jimmie broke into a run and had just reached the sagging door when a call of"Help!" sounded down the trail. He glanced around quickly. Where was Jennie? "What has become of Jennie, Joe?" he asked excitedly. "Me do not know. Me hear good sister call. We must search," so saying he retraced his steps, with Jimmie at his heels. "Jennie, Jennie!" he kept calling, "Answer me. It's Jim." Faintly a voice floated down the path to them, "Here I am in this old well, just down the path a little farther. I stumbled when I started to run." When they came upon her, she was standing upright in a cavity about seven feet deep. In answer to their anxious inquiries she denied that she was hurt; and so they assisted her out by the aid of their sticks and progressed to the hut, this time without mishap. It was a ram-shackle old place and the musty odor was repugnant. But they kept on and entered the cellar. Piles of dried herbs which had been placed there apparently by design were lying here and there and a few pieces of rickety home-made furniture were placed helter-skelter. Eagerly all these were pushed aside as they hunted for the block. But strain their eyes as they would, they could see nothing of the tell-tale iron ring. Suddenly Jennie stumbled and fell heavily to the floor and as Jimmie ran to assist her, he shouted, "Look Jennie! Look Joe! We have found the treasure! Jennie has caught her foot on the camouflaged iron ring and in doing so has uncovered the treasure. Hurrah! Hurrah!" "Hurrah!" echoed Jennie, "now we Hendersons and Indian Joe will live just as in story books, 'happy every after.'"

And then we laid the old arch up Then well do I remember, And took our brace and bit When the sap was gathered in, And started out to tap the trees, How we filled the pans and built the fires And nearly had a fit And worked with lots of vim.

Goughnour, Coach Bottom row, from left to right--Ralph Clark, Captain; Robert Allison, Raymond Jennings, Melton Rogers, Gerald Crowl, Craig Hicks No one can say that the 1921-22 basketball season was not a success. True, there are those who think that anything which does not come close to the thousand per cent mark is not worth of praise. Our boys were good losers as well as good winners. They played a clean game and never gave up until the final whistle. They went into the game with a spirit that "you must play even better than you know how to play, never quit for one second but play yourself to a standstill,--remember that if you are hurt there is another just as good and anxious to take your place." The individuals on the team played exceptionally well. The center was accurate, for the ball came to the guards or forwards with the greatest regu- larity. Our forwards were unselfish and were exceedingly good in getting the ball by the opponent's guards. It was not so with our opponent's for- wards as they found it a hard task to get by our guards. We closed our season of 1921-22 by playing in the State Tournament at Delaware, Ohio. The first team we drew was Verona, a team that had not lost a game until we broke their record by a score of fifteen to twelve. We lost our second game to N. Lewisburg but all voted that we had a good time in Delaware and that every year would be a success if we would play as good as we did this year. CAPT.

In the Championship series the girls eliminated Radnor, but lost a hard fought game to Ashley. This fast and hard fighting team re- mains intact for the coming season with the exception of one guard, Leota Domigan, by graduation. Therefore the hopes are high for bringing the cup to Sunbury next year. This team was coached by Miss Huston and played under the leadership of Captain Edna A'Neal.

Hardly had the snow disappeared from the ground until the crack of the bat and the spat of the ball was heard all over the lot. Any doubt about the possibilities of a team soon vanished when the can- didates got into action, with a good man for each position and other good ones to spare, a team was formed. Galena was first to try out the strength of our organization and lost 2-0, when rain stopped the game at the end of the fifth inning. Bad weather has prevented constant practice and play. However, we have between showers again defeated Galena and Orange High Schools and twice a picked local nine. Our next trip was made on April 28th to Centerburg where their high school team gave us our first defeat. The team played good ball, but with cold weather, the break was against us. We have hopes for better luck for the remainder of our schedule with Ashley, Hyattsville, and again with Centerburg. The spring baseball season is too short to satisfy the desire for the game. This year a movement has been started to give the boys more baseball and to break the monotony of the country boy's summer life by having the County High Schools play summer ball. This will give the boys the Saturday half holiday as enjoyed by the city worker. The warm weather has also awakened the spirit of the trackmen. Every day these fellows may be seen running and jumping, getting into shape for the County Meet at Delaware on May 12th. There is no branch of school sport which takes the consistent training required to trackmen and much praise and comment are due those who so faithfully go on with this daily grind in order to be fit for the one day's sport. Track, unlike most other sports, is unlimited in the number who may de- rive benefit from it. Any one may get out alone or in small groups and train for a few minutes each day. Other sports require a team and real training can be carried on only when the entire team is present. The track game is fundamentally an individual contest and teaches a person to rely entirely upon himself. Our team made a creditable showing at Ashley May 3rd and expect to give a good account of themselves at the County Meet. Not only do the boys awaken to the call of spring but the girls have taken on the spirit of the "Athletic Maid" and are training for girls' events in the County Meet. Some rare ability has been shown by the girls on the field and track. This is commendable and more girls should avail themselves of the opportunity to develop a sound body by indulging in systematic physical training. There would be less loss of time through illness if parents would encourage their daughters to engage in this healthful school sport. Too often we can see only the winning side of Athletics and overlook the personal benefit to be derived from the games. We say there is no use in try- ing because so and so can do that so much better than I. Not only do we gain physically from the training but we learn to lose. I do not mean to be a good loser to the point that we lose without effort. But we learn to go down fight- ing and that spirit often wins even in the face of defeat.

Everyone realizes that it is necessary that all girls should know how to sew and cook. In high school some subjects are taught which make us wonder if they will be of any use to us in the future while it is easily seen of what use Domestic Science will be. It is possible for several girls, never before interested in sewing or cooking, to become interested when working together as a class. This year the study was divided into two parts. The first semester sewing was taught and the second semester cooking. A class of eighteen girls worked individually on sewing projects and other forms of Domestic Art, such as; basketry and embroidery work, the first semester. At the end of the semester a display of their sewing was given and tea was served to the ladies who attended. It was even surprising to the girls themselves to notice their own advancement from such articles as handkerchiefs, to dresses, lovely embroidered cushions and stand scarfs. At the beginning of the second semester the girls were presented with three laboratory tables made by the Manual Training Class. After much begging on the boys' part and extra work for the girls, the Domestic Science class entertained the Manual Training boys and the Faculty of the school at a luncheon one noon. In honor of the girls' and boys' basketball squads, they also entertained one evening with a dinner. There were about twenty-five present. The class of the second semester consisted of fourteen girls. They were divided into groups of two to work. Each girl had a note book, in which she kept a record of experiments and all of the recipes. They, each, took their turn with the cleaning of the cupboards, washing dishes, scrubbing the floor, and learning to be neat and clean with the kitchen, as well as the cooking.

Sunbury High School keeps abreast the progress in educational matters, and during the past year manual training has been given as a regular feature of the course. The course was opened to the three upper classes and about fifteen boys availed themselves of the training. The first six weeks were spent in study- ing the care and use of tools. The balance of the year was devoted to mak- ing equipment for the school, and improvements about the building. The more important jobs being the construction of tables for the Domestic Science Department and the ceiling of their room, and the refinishing of the initial-cut desks of the Junior room. The last eight weeks opportunity was given the boys to make some use- ful article on their own initiative. The result was a varied collection of piano benches, book cases, magazine racks, foot rests, candle adapters, and jardiniere stands. If more space were provided in a new school building, it would be pos- sible to extend this course so as to include leather and forge work. At present the small class we have taken all the space that can be given over to this work.

When the school year of 1921-22 started September Fifth we had an enrollment of forty-five wide awake boys and girls. Twenty-three in the first grade and twenty-two in the second grade. We knew very little of school life and took up the new work with much enthusiasm. Just now we have twenty-three boys and twenty-three girls. Each grade has twenty-three pupils. Our percentage of attendance has been very good this year, the boys' average has exceeded the girls' by a few points. We are a happy lot of children and feel as to efficiency we are equal to any primary room in the state. The Golden rule is taught at the beginning of the school year and each child tries to remember its lesson in their work and play. We begin our daily program with a cheery Good Morning from teacher to pupil and vice versa. This is followed by a period of twenty minutes for song and story telling. After this we begin our classes in reading, phonics work, number work, nature study, language, drawing, writing, paper cutting, gymnastics and elocution. We observe each holiday of the year with a special program and appreciate the many visitors we have, who show us by their coming that they are interested in the smaller children as well as the older ones. We extend a special invitation to each reader of the Owl to come and visit us. FIRST INTERMEDIATE ROOM "Keep on the Sunny Side" is our motto and so we are on the Sunny Side when Old Sol deems it wise to help us along, for we occupy the sunniest room allotted to the grades. The Primary pupils look in at the door to see the bright sunlight and like it so well, that as soon as they successfully complete the work required in the Second Grade, come in to enjoy the sunshine with us. Of course the dreary days are not so nice, but nevertheless our work goes on from day to day. Silent Reading has been emphasized the past year, and we like our new Silent Readers which have been placed in our room. The teaching of Drawing has proven one of the most interesting features of our work, and trust it may be continued in the years to follow. Elocution is also deserving of mention. Oh yes, we almost forgot tell you how many there are of us enjoying the sunshine. We started the school year with seventeen in the Third Grade and fifteen in the Fourth Grade, and at the present time have sixteen in the Third and fifteen in the Fourth. And now readers of the "Owl" if you wish to know more concerning our work, come and visit us in our room. FIFTH AND SIXTH GRADES We are glad to have the opportunity to tell you something of ourselves and our work. The Fifth and Sixth Grades have a total enrollment of forth-eight wide awake boys and girls. Seven pupils have neither been absent nor tardy during the entire school year. The work in the Fifth Grade is not only a continuation of the work done in the Fourth Grade, but in addition we take up the study of Geography. In the Sixth Grade, History is added to the branches taught in the Fifth Grade. Although Drawing was introduced into the school this year, we have enjoyed the beginner's lessons very much and hope we may have the privilege of continuing them through to the High School. Besides our regular Elocution lessons given every Thursday Morning by Miss Kidwell, we are doing some work in Rhetoricals. The two grades are divided in sections, each section taking part on the program given every Wednesday morning. Every boy and girl has had some part in this work. We like to work but we also enjoy our play. Baseball seems to be the favorite sport for both boys and girls and we think we have already won some laurels. We are trying to live clean, straight, and honest lives, and want to do our part in making the Sunbury School one of the best schools on the map. GRAMMAR SCHOOL On the 24th of February, 1922, the Sunbury Grammar School gave its annual public entertainment. This program consisted of two parts. The first being the play "A Patriotic Peanut Stand." The second part "The Indian Princess" an operetta. The pupils played their parts exceptionally well to a crowded house. The Sunbury Grammar School has shown its ability to do things as they have purchased a piano for their department also a sectional book-case well filled with good books. These have added much to the enjoyment of the pupils and teacher of the Sunbury Grammar School.

On November 11, 1918, Mr. Frank Duckworth took up his duties as janitor of the Sunbury Public Schools. Looking over the situation very carefully he found the work such as was necessary to enlist additional help, so he called in his wife. Together they have carefully labored until the present day. Owing to the interest they have taken in the school they had better be called guardians than janitors. We believe no school can speak more highly of their care-takers than we can of Mr. and Mrs. Duckworth. The teachers and all of the boys and girls have the highest regards for them. They can always see the things that need be done around the building and grounds and they do them. Everything is kept neat and clean and co-operation is without fail. We hope that they will stay with us a number of years. So altogether let us cheer them.

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.

Description An account of the resource [page 16] [corresponds to page Fifteen of The Pointer 1935] 1935 THE POINTER Athletic Association The Bellpoint Athletic Association is an institution which makes the athletic activi- ties of Bellpoint High School financially possible. 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.

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.

Description An account of the resource [page 11] [corresponds to page 13 of Souvenir of Forty Years] coerced them to place an order for the only shadows of themselves the world has seen since their graduation day. 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. BLACK sends us the following statement of his life: "After graduation in 1871, I was appointed to a clerkship in the Depart- ment of the Interior at Washington, D.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.

This partnership continued, with an intermission while Mr. Foraker was Gov- ernor of Ohio, until 1893. I married Abbie L. Lounsbury, a member of the graduating class of Mon- nett Hall, of 1870. Two children were born to us, Margaret Eleanor and Robert Lounsbury. My wife died on the twenty-eighth anniversary of our wedding, October 23, 1906.

We will remember Eliza Brewster, whose home at the time of gradua- tion was at Shelbyville, Illinois. 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.

While I cannot be with you in the bodily form, my spirit ego will most assuredly hover near.

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.

CELLAR *THOMAS J. CELLAR was born in 1827, in Delaware County, Ohio, was reared on the farm, and was largely self educated. 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.

In response to our request for her history, Miss Chamberlain writes: "You want to know what I have been doing? 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. CHAMBERLAIN country school--genuine pioneering; then one year in the Eureka schools: then I was offered a position in the Humboldt schools where I taught for sixteen years. 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.

CLARK was joined in marriage with Miss Martha A. Robin- son, July 30, 1871. 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. They have two sons: 28 Title A name given to the resource The Souvenir of Forty Years (p. 26) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/211df4e5ba2f98ca01e0b5d6c7e0704f.jpg a0f04a9006c553325bcc839c3edf6f98 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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. Each im- portant trial possesses consuming interest until its end; and then the dust of forgetfulness covers the files, and matters of less moment claim the maximum of attention.

I have spent the last forty years in spelling out these life lessons, and I must say that there are some lessons that I am not able to spell yet.

Denver, Colorado, became our home, in the summer of 1873, and has con- tinued so all these interesting years. We consider ourselves fortunate to have had a part in the growth of such an important commonwealth. Although it has been our home, we have been permitted to live several years abroad, at different times. Our only child, Frederica, is a graduate of Bryn Mawr Col- lege. We have much to be thankful for, that time and fortune have been so lenient and can truly say, God has been very gentle with us, and led us over a safe and pleasant way, these forty years. With a warm greeting to my comrades of '71, and with a heart full of pleasant memories of dear old Alma Mater, I am yours in all good wishes for a great reunion. EVA FRENCH LeFEVRE."

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.

October 16, 1878, I was married to Mr. F. H. Whitehead, of Indianapolis, Indiana. We resided in that city seven years, when, on account of my husband's health, we left the city, and came to Ohio, living on farms in Licking and Delaware counties. In 1892, we came to the farm in Delaware County, where we still reside. Our little family of seven children, five daughters and two sons, came to bless our union. Two of them, a son and a daughter, have been called to the great beyond; and one daughter is an invalid and helpless, and I am her sole nurse, and never leave her.

In the fall of 1871 he entered the Central Ohio Conference, and has filled many of its leading appointments. After completing his Conference course of study, he studied under Professor William Rainey Harper, and later re- ceived the degree of Ph. B.

In the recent great revival at Defiance she was instrumental in bringing nearly half a hundred souls to Christ. Six children have been born to them. All are living but the second son. a bright young lawyer. The oldest son is a Cincinnati dentist. The third son is an electrical engineer in Washington, D.C. The youngest son is in the last year of the high school at home. The oldest daughter is a teacher of pipe-organ and piano in the Ohio Northern. The second is Mrs. Clyde J. Hull, of Fostoria, Ohio. These are all active Christians. Dr. Lance, during the last thirty years, has written many important ar- ticles for the church papers, in discussion of great church questions. He has also been a writer for the secular and scientific press. He is a charter trustee of the Ohio Northern University, president of the Board of Trustees of his own Conference, and has represented his Conference in the General Confer- ence. He was deeply disappointed that a very important meeting of the church prevented him from being at the Reunion, and he expresses his ardent love for "the whole '71 bunch." EUGENE LANE gives the following summary of his life: "One of the first events of my life after my graduation, was the develop- ment, or rather culmination of a romance that had been pursued under the eyes of my classmates--and others--for six months.

After re- ceiving a common school education in his native town, he entered the Ohio Wesleyan University in the fall of 166, and graduated from that institution June, 1871. In the following November he entered the law school at Cin- cinnati, Ohio, and graduated from that institution May, 1872. In July, 1873, Mr. Nye married Ella Virginia Lee, of Urbana, Ohio. In October of this year he engaged with his father in the live stock and pork packing business, consigning all their barrel meats for sale to the commission firm of Babcock and Co., New York City. After the death of Mr. Nye's father, he removed to Delaware, Ohio, in the spring of 1891, and in the following year formed a partnership with Judge Rufus Carpenter in the real estate and loan business. During the fall of 1901 the partnership was dissolved on account of the failing health of Mr. Carpenter.

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. What does it matter where our lot has been cast, if only 54 Title A name given to the resource The Souvenir of Forty Years (p. 52) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/348ff3cd7e232c9ee0f96606dbdf624f.jpg 70196f29f5eebae4907c5c26e296ee76 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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.

Dr. Warner graduated from the Ohio Wesleyan University in 1871, from Drew Theological Seminary in 1873 and later from a medical college, the University of the City of New York. He became a minister in the Newark Conference of New Jersey, and in the North Ohio Conference, and occupied several charges until 1887, when he became a professor of English Literature in Baldwin University, of Berea, Ohio. He later became president of that institution, occupying that position until 1899, when he resigned and took post-graduate work at the Philadelphia Polyclinic. "In 1902 he moved to Cleveland, and the same year was elected a mem- ber of the Ohio State Senate, serving a term of two years. He then resumed the practice of medicine in Cleveland. "In 1976 Dr. Warner married Mabel DeWitt, daughter of a physician of Harmony, New Jersey. To them were born two children, Faith and Carl. The daughter married R. B. Newcomb, an attorney of Cleveland, and they have two sons.

"After graduating from the O.W.U., he engaged in the banking business with his uncle. In 1877, he married Jennette Platt, of Delaware, Ohio, adn to them were born seven children. Three passed away in childhood. Of the surviving ones, Anne married A. E. Merrick, of Chicago, and resides with her husband and three children on a farm near Weiser, Idaho.

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.
