Description An account of the resource [page 1] [corresponds to unnumbered page 1] THE SUNBURY AND GALENA COMMUNITIES And how they were in 1938 When Sunbury Lions Club originated FDR was in the White House in Washington, all of us were working our way out of the Great Depression precipitated by the 1929 Stock Market Crash. The REA was building lines to supply elec- tricity to farm properties too widely separated to be served economically by regular Power Companies. The WPA was installing Water and Sewer Systems in small towns and municipalities too small to afford them otherwise. World War II had not yet started--even in Europe. The Three C's Highway did not by-pass Sunbury & Galena, and The Hoover Dam and Reservoir, with the resulting dislocations, was not yet in consideration. I-71 and The Alum Creek Reservoir & Camp-Ground were far in the future. Sunbury & Galena did have a busy and well operated Railroad with two passenger trains daily, north & south, freight trains mixed in between schedules, a full time station and telegraph operator providing reliable service between Cleveland, Akron and Columbus. Sunbury boasted a storage and distribution system to provide an excellent supply of water to all homes and businesses. Partly because of this facility The Nestle Co. maintained their plant here and has been a most valuable source of employment in this area. Many fine families have come to this area and have worked for the development of this community since The Company acquired the old Sunbury Co-Operative Creamery Co. in 1919. The Big Walnut Consolidated School System had not yet been envis- aged.

George Walker's field, which was to become The Sunbury Playground as an early project of the Sunbury Lions Club, was lying un-used in 1938, a rough undeveloped field with an open waterway extending diagonally across it. The field had been used in earlier years by Nelson Ramsey, and perhaps others, as a pas- ture for horses. ****Businesses Around The Square and In The Area in the Year 1938**** The ground floor of the K. of P. Building contained a small sandwich shop and soda fountain in the western one-third, a movie theater occupied the center portion and the Sunbury Savings & Loan had expanded its offices into the eastern one-third. At that time the SS&L still occupied the adjacent, stone front building. D. C. Hoover our first Lions Club President lived next door to the east and had a rear door from his kitchen and a walkway to a rear door in the SS&L building for convenient access between the two, he being the Secretary and Board Chairman of the institution for many years. Ralph R.(Kinky)Clark lived and operated his barber shop in the house adjacent to the Bank. The old stone Farmers Bank Building occupied part of the lot where the present BancOhio facility stands. All the stone for the original building was obtained from quarries along Big Walnut Creek, hauled to and piled on the north side of the Public Square where it was cut and dressed according to the blue-prints prepared for the purpose, then erected into a complete edifice. The Sunbury News and Whitney Ins. offices occupied a two story now frame building adjacent to what is now Whitney Ins. Agency ^ oper- ated by Lion Bob Morris. The present Ins. Ofc. was, in 1938 occupied by the original Sunbury Grille with a doorway opening into what had been for many years, Charlie Budd's Pool Room immediately to the east. The pool tables had been removed and Title A name given to the resource The Sunbury and Galena Communities and how they were in 1938 when Sunbury Lions Club Originated (p. 2) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/dbe166f8bbf34cbd2e23573b118f569e.jpg 43598390c67813add7d0bad60261dbb2 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Our Lions Club had its first dinner meetings there in late 1938. In the next business room to the east, Garnet Edwards Hettinger operated a beauty shop. Root's Department Store, on the corner, was owned and operated by C. A.(Chan)Root. He and Mrs. Root lived in the 'penthouse' apartment on the second floor. Chan was a Charter Member of Lions Club and a real community booster. The north one-third of the old two-story Blakely-Williams build- ing at the north end of the east side of the Public Square was occupied by C. C. Welch (groceries) and Henry Beaver (meats) separately, under the name 'Red & White Store'. Henry and C. C. were both Charter Members and C. C. became our second President. The south two-thirds of the R-W Bldg. and the whole second floor was occupied by The Sunbury Electric Shop operated by C. S. Burrer and his Mother. This old building contained a 'rope-driven', hand powered, freight elevator which extended from the basement to the second floor. This building was destroyed by fire in 1956. The next building toward the south, now owned by Glenn Evans a Lions Club Past president, was occupied by The Little Shop with Louise Sheets as proprietor. The next building housed the U. S. ? Store (a grocery) which in 1940 became a 5 & 10 Cents store. In the same two story building with a center entrance-way and stair way to the second floor apartments was Anderson's Drug Store. R. P. or 'Doc' Anderson as most people knew him, was a very popular man in the community. He acquired considerable property in the area during his lifetime, was one of the organizers of the Sunbury Savings & Loan and one of its Directors until his death in 1940. He was a member of Sparrow Lodge of Masons and a Charter member of the Lions Club.

Eddie Haller operated a bowling alley in the basement for a time. This Kroger store was managed by Carl Perry who was a Lions Club Char- ter member and became one of its Past Presidents. Notice of his early and untimely death is indicated elsewhere in this publica- tion. Harold Stone's Barber Shop adjoined the Haller building. 'Stoney', as he was affectionately called by everyone was Mayor of Sunbury for the longest, continuous period of years in its He history. ^ occupied that position when the streets of the Village were paved in 1911. V & M Williamson had a Chevrolet dealership in the next building with a cement block service garage located across the private alley to the rear. At the time they discontinued operations, theirs was reputed to be the oldest Chevrolet Agency in the central Ohio area. The two-story brick building with cast- iron support post in the entry way had been known for many years as the Strong's Hardware building, with living quarters overhead. In 1938 there was an alleyway between the Strong Hdwe and the old frame building which originally housed Charlie Granger's Pool Room and short-order restaurant. Jim and Mary Fravel operated the restaurant in the south part of the building and might have looked after the pool room in the north part. What was known as the Casteel Building, where the Sunbury News is now located (in 1988), the first story had a cut-stone wall with thick door ways at sidewalk level which supported a frame double, second floor for living quarters. F. Lamont Kempton, a Lion Charter Member operated a barber shop in the northernmost sidewalk level room. Larue and Marge Stith had a filling station and garage at the S, E. corner of this building, facing the intersection of Granville and S. Vernon Streets. It must be remembered that in 1926, all the business buildings with a few living quarters above, situated Title A name given to the resource The Sunbury and Galena Communities and how they were in 1938 when Sunbury Lions Club Originated (p. 4) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/84d326e805c7b26c95eaeb4cff605fd0.jpg 3392a5f7e30f13ef40b169466aaf4cbe 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 5] [corresponds to unnumbered page 5] between the Blakely-Williams frame structure on the north (which contained a three foot thick, stone firewall along its south side) and the old brick, Strong Hdwe to the south, all being of frame construction and very old, caught fire one night and burned to the ground. There was no way to save the structures since at that time all that was available was a man-power operated fire pumper and the only water available was from a cistern on the east side of the Public Square. The owners of the various properties so destroyed, banded together and hired a contractor to come on the scene and erect new brick structures according to each owners requirements. I understand, on good authority, that 'Rudy' Burrer, a respected banker in the Village was given the responsibility of co-ordinating the new construction project between the individual owners and the contractor, Mr. Ray Hopper of Delaware, Ohio. Believe it or not, there is no indication handed down to date of any serious problems, financially or other- wise, in this obviously loose-knit operation. In 1938 the Sunbury Post Office was located in the brick building at 75 E. Cherry Street across the alley from the rear of the Blakely-Williams building. Mr. Carroll Williamson was Postmaster. The first structure west of S. Vernon St on the south side of the square was a frame dwelling. The next was the residence of Otis (Pete) Baker and connected office and exchange of The Ohio Central Telephone Co. Mr. Baker, with his wife Lulu had come to Sunbury in 1904 to be maintenance man and local manager of the system. His younger son, Darwin Baker was a Lions Club Charter Member. The brick structure to the west and next to the alley, provided quarters for The Delaware County Mutual Ins. Co., founded in 1877, in the eastern one-half while the western half was occupied by Strosnider & Wilson Funeral Directors. A. D.

'Doc' Wilson was a Lions Club Charter Member, and a very active promoter and worker in the development of The Sunbury Playground. To the west of the alley was the Sunbury Motors Co. adjoining the Irwin Hdwe. & Furniture Co. Bldg. which extended to the next alley. This complex of buildings started with the Wheaton Brothers as a hardware and farm equipment store. Charles Wheaton had the first automobile in the community and from that experience there devel- oped an early auto agency. Bordering the alley, in 1938 was a two-story building made out of glazed tile, shaped similar to concrete blocks. On the ground floor Arthur Boston operated the 'Snipe-Town' grocery, no one has said where the name originated. Dr. Hodge Wilson (no relation to Ronald) had a dental office on the second floor. The last structure before Columbus St. was the old Joel Letts residence which had been con- verted into doctor's offices in the basement with medical clinic facilities above, by Dr. G. Y. Swickard, a Lions Club Charter Member. Tom Heston Sr. is reported to have been the operator of the Sohio Station on the corner of Granville and S. Columbus St. Hosea C. Hopkins used the Hopkins House as his residence and rented out individual rooms. He would also assist Strosnider & Wilson on Ambulance-runs and in conducting funerals. Otis K. Baker converted the Gelston's Bakery/Burrer's Store and Tavern building to operate as a Service Station and garage on the lot just north of the Hopkins House. The next two buildings north were used for residences, while the third house, (at one time the residence of Lawrence Myers, one of the founders of the town of Sunbury,) was the office and residence of Dr. W. B. Carpenter. The building at the corner of Columbus & Cherry streets was occu- pied by Wayne's (Feazel) Super Service.

The generation of electricity for the Village had ceased and the facilities sold to the Central Utilities Service Co. in 1926. Further north, on Rainbow Ave. Lloyd Brake and Lee Howard had established a garage and sold Studebaker automobiles. At the corner of High St. and the Croton Rd., Ralph H. Clark operated Clark's Furniture Store. At Rainbow Ave. & High St, Harry Lake operated a machine shop and garage. Charles & Wilma Ward had a store and specialized in Home Made Ice Cream in a two-story building called "The Point". South on S. Columbus St. V. M. Greene built a brick building and operated a Ford Auto Agency. Clark Tractor Sales sold farm equipment and machinery south of the Ford Agency. A little fur- ther south, across the street was Lee's Market. On E. Granville St. Emmet (Tobe) Feasel operated a Sohio Service station and next beyond was the Sunshine Feed Store. Across the street, and up a hill, was George Walker's Hay Barn and beyond that was the old Sunbury Manufacturing Co. building. John Williamson & Son sold farm machinery on Harrison St. where the Sunbury I. G. A. now stands. Also, at 52 Rainbow Ave., Owen Meredith had an International Tractor Agency, and at 102 Rainbow Ave., Ghent's Greenhouse was in operation. At 63 N. Vernon St., Charles Johnson operated a shoe repair shop, and at 157 South Vernon Street, Sunbury Lumber Co. was in business, with H. O. Reece, a Lions Club Charter Member, as Manager. Cloice E. Barton and Fairland Farms (H. P. & Russell Miller) were both in the wholesale and retail milk (dairy) business.

Editorial***'THE NEW SUNBURY LIONS CLUB'*** Merchants and businessmen of Sunbury have taken a step forward by organizins a Lions Club. This Village has long needed a business-mens organization, and the forming of this club is bound to promote Sunbury interests better, and weld the business-men even closer together than they have ever been before. Success of this venture depends on its members and the interest they take in the club.
