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

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

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

The department carries on an ex- tensive fire training program in all industrial plants in the city as well as a safety program within the school. Delaware County is rated territory 39 which allows its residents the most reasonable automobile rate available in Ohio. Communications Local radio stations include WDLR, WRFD, WSLN-FM and WBBY-FM.

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

Description An account of the resource [page 33] [corresponds to unlabeled page 33 of Delaware County Chamber of Commerce Classified Directory] DELAWARE DATA Located in the scenic Olentangy River Valley at almost the geographical center of the State, Delaware, Ohio, has much to offer in the way of cultural, commercial and indus- trial advantages. The City of Delaware was founded in 1808, the same year that Delaware County was formed by dividing Franklin County. As the County seat, the City has had an impres- sive history. Industrialists look with favor upon Delaware as an ideal location for new developments. Delaware and its environs have many thriving industries employing nearly 2,000 people in various firms producing such things as truck bodies, tractor cranes, rubber goods, screw products, cameras, temperature control units, motors and equipment, caskets, canvas products, automatic brake controls, etc. Many of these plants have been con- verted to meet government procurement requirements during the Nation's present de- fense program. Tourists find many points of interest in Delaware and its surrounding territory. The site of the birthplace of Rutherford B. Hayes, 19th President of the United States, and also the oldest house still standing, built in 1813, which also was occupied by the Hayes family, are located in the center of the city. The Jane M. Case Hospital, set in a grove of oak and maple trees, is worth seeing, as is the Delaware flood control dam and reservoir four miles north of town, and the ter- ritory along the east side of the Scioto River which is developed for park and picnic areas following the river all the way from the Girls Industrial School to the Columbus Zoo. Sail boating is popular along this area. Persons interested in seeing Ohio's ca- verns will find the Olentangy Caverns, five miles south of Delaware, impressive. If you come to Delaware in the latter part of September, you should avail yourself of the opportunity of seeing one of the Nation's best harness races, "The Little Brown Jug," which is now considered the finest race for pacers. This racing classic is held at the time of the Delaware County Fair, one of the outstanding fairs in Ohio. Here you can see displays of Delaware County's agricultural products as well as cattle, horses, sheep and hogs - convicing proof that farmers in this area are up to date in raising quality produce and that their thoroughbred stock is unexcelled. During the past 133 years, Delaware and the surrounding marketing area have been served by the Delaware Gazette, a daily newspaper with a circulation of over 5,000. Now located in its new publishing house, The Gazette keeps the citizenry of a wide area informed and serves as an ideal advertising medium. Delaware Merchants offer the best in merchandise and services, and compare favor- ably with other marketing centers. For more than a century, Delaware has been one of the outstanding cultural centers in the state because it is the home of Ohio Wesleyan University. Founded in 1842 by Meth- odist pioneers, Ohio Wesleyan has many historic spots on its main campus, including the Sulphur Spring, the Mansion House Hotel (now Elliott Hall), and a monument marking the former site of the Barber Tavern which served as General Harrison's headquarters in the War of 1812. Legend has it that it was at the Sulphur Spring that President Hayes proposed to his bride-to-be, Lucy Webb, one of Wesleyan's first co-eds.

Description An account of the resource [page 5] [corresponds to unlabeled page 4 of Delaware County Historical Society] The Ohio Historical Society THE OHIO STATE MUSEUM, COLUMBUS 10 The Ohio Historical Society congratulates the Delaware County Hist- orical Society on the opening of its new historical museum. We all know that historical societies are born to preserve the history of a given geo- graphical area. But now, within your grasp is a means for interpreting that history to your community. In opening a museum you have assumed some heavy responsibilities, and there will be, as you have no doubt already discovered, a variety of problems. Having a museum is not always easy. It means work, hard work, and the cooperation of many. Yet, observing the mixture of fasci- nation, wonderment and joy in the faces of young visitors is a rich ample reward. With a museum you have a truly important line of communication to those you wish to reach - children, adults, prospective members and par- ticipants in the program of the Delaware County Historical Society. Plan wisely and demonstrate that the museum is vital to the Delaware Com- munity. With a well-worn path to the museum door you will not lack com- munity support. The Ohio Historical Society has a deep interest in your society and museum, as it has with any similar group in Ohio. May we sincerely offer whatever assistance we can give. On this memorable occasion marking the opening of your new hist- orical museum, again congratulations and best wishes. We believe that in many ways this opening marks also the beginning of a new era in the history of Delaware County. Erwin C. Zepp Director The Ohio Historical Society Columbus 10 Title A name given to the resource Delaware County Historical Society (p. 5) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/243985623025dad93067134f7c16a4ef.jpg 229f946e85a15b0b2cbb96f2cb703a40 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 6] [corresponds to unlabeled page 5 of Delaware County Historical Society] This is a happy day that I welcome you to the opening of the new home and museum of the Delaware County Historical Society. When our Society was founded in 1947, the charter members had great visions of making it a means of preserving some of the material things of historical significance which are a part of our Delaware County heritage. In our struggle to keep this Society alive, it has been our sincere desire to have a museum and to have members from all parts of Delaware County take a real and active part. Today, we have seen much of that vision become a reality. It was from her sincere desire to serve this Society and Delaware County that Miss Pauline Nash contributed her family home as our museum. One room in this museum has been set aside as the Eugene Nash Memorial Room in honor of her father, who was a collector of Delaware County hist- orical items. We all thank Miss Nash for her gracious gift. In the last nine months, much has been accomplished toward the condi- tioning of this home as a museum. We have much left to do; however, from this simple beginning as you see it today, we welcome you, and may you be inspired to take a more active interest in the advancement and growth of this Society. To all of the officers, chairmen of committees, committee members, Society members and friends who have contributed so much of their valu- able time in these busy days toward the opening of this museum, I wish to express my sincere thanks.

Description An account of the resource [page 7] [corresponds to page 6 of Delaware County Historical Society] DELAWARE COUNTY'S HISTORICAL SOCIETIES The first mention we have found of an historical society in Delaware County is an article written by D. W. C. Lugenbeel in the Delaware Gazette, for August 31, 1909. Here stated that "The Colonization Society was organized in 1832 with Mr. Hosea Williams as President." No men- tion was made of activities or programs of the society. The 1880 History of Delaware County (p. 203) states that "About the year 1870, an effort was made to reorganize a pioneer association in the county, but as a society, it has never amounted to much. One or two meetings were held, officers elected, and a Fourth of July picnic dinner (arranged). This constituted the bulk of its proceedings." Rev. J. D. VanDeman was elected Chairman, and Eugene Powell, Secretary, of a temporary committee of fifteen. The Hon. Thomas W. Powell gave the address of the occasion. The Hon. O. D. Hough was elected permanent president of the Pioneer Association of Delaware County. Some perma- nent committees were named and some activities outlined for them. The only meeting bsides the picnic known to have been held was on "the last day of the County Fair," in October, 1871, over a year later. There must have been some effort made to revive the society, per- iodically, for the Delaware Gazette, in an article, September 3, 1909, quoted the "last letter written to Delaware County by General Rosen- crans." It was addressed to D. W. C. Lugenbeel, and read: "I am sorry that I see no present prospect of being able to meet the Delaware County Pioneer Association, at Delaware, August 1, 1891. In a life of seventy- one years, I have had no time to revive memories which cluster around the home of my childhood. . . The desire to do this is so strong that I have still a hope that I may be able to gratify my wishes some day. Meanwhile, I am Very Respectfully Yours, W. S. Rosencrans." * Another letter in the same article, dated almost a year later, was referred to as the last letter written by President Hayes to his birthplace. It was also addressed to D. W. C. Lugenbeel, Secretary, and stated: "Absence from home for two weeks. . . prevented me from seeing your favor of the 18th of July until too late for acceptance of its invitation. With best wishes, Yours, etc., Rutherford B. Hayes." On February 8, 1906, some citizens of the county met at the office of Mr. H. E. Buck and formed The Delaware County Historical and Archaeolo- gical Society. The following trustees were elected: Henry Buck, Frank L. Grove, D. L. Ziegler, Joseph Gross, J. L. Smith, J. B. Taggart. The first named was to serve a six-year term, the others five, four, etc., as listed. Mr. J. L. Smithwwas elected president, D. L. Ziegler, vice president, Frank L. Grove, Secretary, Joseph Gross, Treasurer, and J. B. Taggart, Curator. Meetings were held every Monday and the last entry in the minutes was made on April 26, 1910. This book is now (1955) in the custody of the Delaware County District Library. 6 Title A name given to the resource Delaware County Historical Society (p. 7) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/a9271796cfe17c6a5ef78bacf25ce903.jpg 7df231612dbb068566fe4e04e3bac89f Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Cole, a number of persons interested in the history of Delaware County, past and present, met in the old Marlborough Church on October 12, 1947. Previously, in May, 1947, a group had tenta- tively organized the Marlborough Historical Society, but it was decided that this should be enlarged to include the whole of Delaware County, and to change the name to The Delaware County Historical Society. The first meet- ing of the new society was held in October; the constitution written and the society incorporated in November. On November 17, 1947, the first officers were elected. It was approved that the officers of the disbanded Marlbor- ough Society be the officers of the new Delaware County Historical Society; Mr. Wilbur J. Main, president, and Mrs. Walter S. Cole, secretary. The group had no treasurer, so Mrs. Edgar Nichols was elected to that office. The organization grew slowly, with much interest in the telling of past history, but with no financial backing or foundation with which to acquire a home for the society and/or a place to house and display the gifts of relics and records that it was hoped would come to the society for preservation. A number of papers, records and books were promised to various members for the society at such time as permanent housing would be available. In the summer of 1954 Miss Pauline Nash offered her home at 157 E. William Street to the Delaware County Historical Society for a museum. After a number of meetings by the officers and trustees in August 1954, this offer was accepted on an annuity basis. This was made possible by an annual allotment of funds from the County Commissioners, as stated in Ohio law. Work of getting the house in order for a museum was slow, but the enthusiasm of the members never lagged. Now, with the opening of a museum nearly eight years after organization, is the real beginning. The Society has a place to house and display some tangible evidences of Dela- ware County's past. The present must not be forgotten - it is tomorrow's past. Presidents have been: Wilbur J. Main, George Pugh, Robert Powers, Thomas Graham, and Wyford Jones; secretaries: Mrs. Walter S. Cole, Thomas Graham, and Mrs. William F. Hahnert; corresponding secretaries: Mrs. Walter S. Cole, M. S. Cherington; treasurers: Mrs. Edgar Nichols and Bernard Hatten. On October 20, 1947, with Fred Wicham as attorney, the incorporators of this society were: W. J. Main, John McClure Snook and Genevieve Cole. Trustees named on the charter are: Dave Sherwood, Lucille Canfield, Thomas A. Price, Cleo Scott, L. A. McMillan, Milton Utley, R. B. Powers, Leland Fisher, Genevieve Cole, Elizabeth Weaver, and John McClure Snook. The document of incorporation bears the seal of the State of Ohio, the signature of Edward J. Hummel, Secretary of State, and the date November 3, 1947.

Description An account of the resource [page 9] [corresponds to page 8 of Delaware County Historical Society] THIS DAY, MAY 22, 1955, is the official opening of the newly acquired museum of the Delaware County Historical Society, and the second annual pilgrimage planned by the Society. We welcome guests from all over our State. This museum, located on West William Street, State Route 42, has been the Nash home since 1885. It is a two story red brick home with seven rooms, built in 1876. The front porch was added at a later date. The spindles of the railing on the porch were originally in the railing of the City Council chambers. The interior of the home has been redecorated for this occasion - and for the museum. The front hall has an open winding stairway with black walnut stair rail and newell posts. The museum will show materials designed to stimulate community interest in local history. They will tell the story of the past of our county. The displays will vary from time to time. The historical col- lections of Mr. Nash will be kept intact in the Eugene P. Nash Memorial Room. The rest of the house will be devoted to Delaware County. Some few pieces of furniture have been acquired. The oldest, perhaps, is a desk over which the first taxes of Delaware County were paid. Some old, or primitive tools have been donated, with old guns, pictures, maps, and a few pieces of wearing apparel. There is equipment for spinning and weaving, as well as dental equipment for an early dentist's office and a number of children's toys. The building was built in 1876 by John Slattery, the grandfather of Dr. George Parker. It was acquired by our Society in 1954 by annuity gift from Miss Pauline Nash, the owner. Deeds in the posession of the society show these owners: December 9, 1865 Carolyn Graff to John Graff. August 1, 1876 Christopher & Emily M. Potter to John Slattery.

Description An account of the resource [page 10] [corresponds to page 9 of Delaware County Historical Society] THE NASH FAMILY [photo of Pauline Nash] The name "Nash" is supposed to be a corruption of atten-ash, at the Ash; Naish, place near Bristol, England. The family, like its name, is of Saxon origin, and were resident in England prior to the Norman Conquest of 1066. The name is found at early dates in the counties of Oxford, Worcester, London, Suffolk and Lancaster, as well as in Ulster, Ireland and Wales at the end of the sixteenth cen- tury. The families came to the eastern shores of the United States. The Dela- ware county family are in direct line of descent from these families. Eugene P. Nash, son of William Henry and Emmeline (Williams) Nash, was interested in collecting old Dela- ware County relics such as, Bibles, hand-made linens, badges, news- papers, fractional currency, samplers, items from President Hayes' birthplace, Indian relics, etc. Eugene Nash married Lois Cole, May 25, 1893 and they came to Delaware from Berlin Township. Lois Cole, the daughter of Captain Elias Cole, Delaware County Treasurer for many years, was an accomplished seamstress. She was highly re- garded as a dressmaker, and her list of patrons included the best dressed women of the 1890's. Two interesting items from her journal read: "December 12, 1892. This morning at 4:45 Father and I started over East to collect taxes. . Olive Green. . to Sunbury and put up at the Paul Hotel. Dec. 13 . . . to Centervillage. Dec. 14. . collected at Galena and had dinner at Mrs. Johnson's. Dec. 15, collected at Sunbury. . and came home reaching our destination at 8:15." . . . "June 23, 1899. We got ready to go . . to the laying of the cornerstone of the Masonic Temple. It was so warm, 101 in the shade."* The only child of Eugene and Lois Nash is Pauline Nash, donor of the Museum. Miss Nash is an expert in many phases of handicraft, including ceramics, quilting and weaving. She was Delaware County's first Red Cross Gray Lady, is a member of the First Baptist Church, the George L. Behrens Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star, the Beta Sigma Phi, and has served for many years as a volunteer Home Service Secretary of the County Red Cross unit. Anna C.

Kelly started on a trip through the South and conceived the idea of a fraternity of farmers to restore agriculture and united once more the north and south. December 4, 1867 is recognized as the birthday of the Grange when a formal session of founders was held at Washington D.C. and the National Grange was organized and officers elected. April 9, 1873, the Ohio State Grange was organized at Lebanon, Ohio, with S. H. Ellis as State Master. It now has over 900 local groups with a mem- bership of 177,900. Delaware County has a membership of 2100 in its local granges. The Grange includes all family membership and through demo- cratic organization encourages rural people working together for the benefits of farm life. Floyd Weaver [newspaper clipping] 137th Year Started By The Gazette Today Today's issue of the Delaware Gazette is No. 1 of Vol. 137. The first newspaper was pub- lished here in 1818 by two min- isters, Jacob Drake, a Baptist, and Josiah Hughes, a Presbyter- ian. Early editions were printed on coarse, yellow paper and were only four columns wide. On Sept. 24, 1821, The Gazette became the property of Ezra Griswold, publisher in Columbus and Worthington, and the next issue on Oct. 10, 1821 appeared as the "Delaware Patron and Frank- lin Chronicle." Subsequent name changes labeled it as the "Dela- ware Patron and Sandusky Ad- vertiser" until May 13, 1830, and then "Ohio State Gazette and Delaware County Journal." Griswold sold the paper in 1834 to George W. Sharpe who called it the "Olentangy Gazette." In that year, Sharpe invited a rela- tive, Abram Thomson, to come from Maryland to be his partner and two years later Thomson be- came sole owner, changing the name back to the original one, "The Delaware Gazette," which has continued to the present day. With the exception of six years, 1865 to 1871, sole ownership of the newspaper has remained in the Thomson family. During that time, Capt. Alfred E. Lee, who served with distinction in the Civil War, owned a half-interest. The present editor and publish- er, Walter Dunlap Thomson, and his son Henry Clay Thomson II, general manager, are the third and fourth generations. In 1884, The Gazette changed from a semi-weekly to a daily paper. A separate edition of interest to rural readers was published semi- weekly until 1930. DELAWARE, O.

Description An account of the resource [page 12] [corresponds to page 11 of Delaware County Historical Society] IN THE BEGINNING. . . . It is believed that Central Ohio was inhabited by the Mound Builders over 800 years before the Indians. There are several examples of these mounds in the county but there is no trace of language, history, or anything that would give a clue as to where they came from and where they went. The contents of the mounds often suggest origins in New England, Florida, Mexico and Peru. The Indians who came later had no knowledge or tradi- tion concerning them. The Indians who were here when the first white set- tlers arrived, were the Delaware, the Shawanees and the Mingoes, and per- haps small groups of other tribes. It was not until after the second Treaty of Greenville in 1814 that the Indians left this area. The first settlement in the county was made May 1, 1801 on the east bank of the Olentangy, five miles below Delaware (now Liberty Township) by Nathan Carpenter and Avery Powers, from Chenango County, New York. In April 1802, Thomas Cellar and Josiah McKinney, from Franklin County, Pennsylvania, settled two miles lower down the river. In the fall of 1803, Henry Perry and David Pugh, from Wales, made a clearing and put up a cabin in Radnor, three-fourths of a mile from Delhhi. Then in the fall of 1804, Colonel Moses Byxbe and his company from Berk- shire, Massachusetts, settled on Alum Creek and named their settlement Berkshire. Col. Byxbe was considered wealthy for his day and owned 8000 acres here that he had obtained through the purchase of land warrants from the Revolutionary soldiers. He brought quite a company with him and al- though he established and laid out the first town in the county it became of little importance. Berlin Township was settled next in 1805 by George Cowgill on part of 4000 acres owned by Byxbe and later that same year Philander Hoadley, David Isaac, and Chester Lewis settled on part of 4000 acres owned by Joseph Constant. Asa Scott was the first treasurer of the township and gave it its name. An early settlement was made by a native of Wales, Richard Hoskins, his wife and seven children when they started a home on Boke's Creek, in Scioto Township in 1806. This was followed by many others in the next few years. Genoa was settled in 1807 by Marcus Curtis and Elisha Newell from Connecticut, and William Cox came later from Pennsylvania. In Kingston Twp., George Hess and John Philips came from Pennsylvania in 1807, and James, Stark, John Rosecrans, Daniel Rosecrans and David Taylor in 1809. It was in Kingston Twp. that the famed Civil War General, W. S. Rosecrans was born. Delaware Township and City was slow in getting settled. In 1807, James Barber built a cabin near the Sulphur Springs where he kept a Tavern. Shortly Col. Byxbe and some of his friends came in from Berkshire and laid out the town of Delaware. The county was organized in 1808. With Col. Byx- be were William Little, Dr. Lamb, Solomon Smith, Elder Jacob Drake, Thomas Butler, and Ira Carpenter. That same year Byxbe built the first 11 Title A name given to the resource Delaware County Historical Society (p. 12) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/c8b59c9468302f81030cc1c1103c92bf.jpg 23ada8f5f447f64619529ca4ec24aa8c Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

In 1807 settlements were made in several other townships. Marl- borough was settled by Jacob Foust near the forks of the Whetstone, then Ariel Strong and a couple named Swinington, and the next year, Nathaniel Wyatt and William Brundage settled in Marlbourough. William Perfect and Mordecai Thomas chose Trenton Township for a home site. Benijah Cook and a man named Thomson settled in Harlem Township. Porter Township was settled by Christopher and Ebenezer Linberger from western Pennsyl- vania, and later by Joel Z. Mendenhall. They all located around Olive Green. In About 1808 Joab Norton moved into Orange Township. He started the first tannery in the county and also could make shoes. Sometime after 1809, Brown Township was settled by Daniel G. Thurston, F. Cowgill and Stephen Goram, on the west bank of Alum Creek. Ezra and Comfort Olds moved into Oxford Township in 1810, coming from Sunbury. Then came John and Henry Foust from Marlborough. The Olds cabin was only one room, 20 feet square, and there were six persons in the Olds family. That fall a family named Clark arrived, and the Olds' took the nine Clarks in with them, making fifteen persons in this one room cabin. Concord Twp. started with the coming of George Hill from Pennsylvania in 1811. He built his cabin just north of where the old Mansion House of the White Sul- phur Springs was later to be located in 1842 by Nathaniel Hart. Still later this was bought by the State, in 1869, for "The State Reform School for Girls." Christopher Freshwater came with Hill. Thompson Township was settled in 1809 by Samuel Weaver, then in 1816 John Cochrane came from Pennsylvania. Eleazer Main settled in the area that is now Troy Twp. in 1812, but soon left for service in the War of 1812. Lyman Main was another early settler, as well as Joseph Cole, David Dix, John Duncan and William Norris, who came from old Virginia. In these early days there were no roads, only trails, and the settlers built their own mills for grinding grain, saw mills for lumber, tanneries for leather. Sometimes a blacksmith shop, a store, or a tavern was started as it was a hard trip to go without products to sell, or supplies to buy, from such distant points as Franklinton and Chillicothe. It is interesting to note that the first settlement made in Delaware County was 154 years ago this month, on the east bank of the Olentangy River in Liberty Township. Captain Nathan Carpenter arrived from New York on May 1, 1801. He brought his family and about 20 young men who wanted to see this new country. Some of them later became prominent settlers. Captain Carpenter erected a cabin on what was recently the Eli Long farm, two miles south of Stratford. The land was purchased last year by The Greif Bros. Cooperage Coporation which is now restoring that first cabin as an historical monument. 12 Title A name given to the resource Delaware County Historical Society (p. 13) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/065d4d21dcc76205de7e32704557f853.jpg 18f055ade27f49d6249a41534136b6cc Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 14] [corresponds to page 13 of Delaware County Historical Society] Nathan Carpenter sold his New York estate and made the long, hazardous journey into Ohio (requiring two months, 18 days) for the same reason that many Ohioans now dispose of their property and travel to California or Florida to live. Carpenter went up on the roof of his house in New York one winter morning to shovel off snow, "a frequent necessity in that climate." When he descended, he told his wife that he had decided to leave that land of hills and snowbanks and go to the wonderful Ohio. Another early settler of Liberty Township, George Cruikshank, who came here from Salem, New York in 1815, had similar feelings about the climate he left behind. In a letter dated August 30, 1816, George wrote to his brother, Peter, in Salem, telling him how he had purchased 500 acres of "the best land you ever saw" out here in Ohio, with a comfortable log house and a stable, 12 acres cleared and fenced, at $4 an acre. "For mercy sake," George's letter continued, "when you hear this, pull up stakes like a man and leave that frozen and inhospitable land where the winter consumes all the summer doth yield. . . I could say many more things to induce you to leave that dreary land for the sake of coming to this garden of the world.!" Contributors: Dr. M. E. Cherington, Mrs. Harvey Cruikshank. THE DELAWARE GRAPE brought fame and some fortune to Delaware County and Countians. About the year 1850 is was found growing along the banks of the Scioto. A Mr. Heath had brought it from New Jersey years before. Mr. Abram Thomson of the Delaware Gazette, discovered its superior merits, and its introduction created a furore in the grape-growing circles. The prices for grape-vines ranged from $1.00 to even $5.00. It did require proper soil and great skill to produce it properly, so some inexperience growers were disappointed. However, its fame brought Delaware County fame. 13 Title A name given to the resource Delaware County Historical Society (p. 14) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/c3550b33ffe34dadff6a2fef55787d2c.jpg 3491da348b620609c243526d28650a1f Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

They built a church in 1825, rebuilt in 1843, and remodeled extensively in 1874. St. Peter's Episcopal congre- gation was organized in 1817. They built a church in 1825, and rebuilt in 1844, their present church. The William Street Methodist Episcopal Church was organized in 1818. Their first church building in Delaware was erected by the Metho- dists in 1822, across Franklin Street from the present location. The second church was built on the present site in 1846, and the present church was built in 1888. St. Paul's Methodist Church, organized in 1852, Grace Church, in 1860, and Asbury Church, in 1888, took their beginning from the church membership of William Street Church. St. Mark's Evangelical Lutheran Church was organized in 1821. In the early days a minister came once a month from Columbus and preached twice on a Sunday, once in German and once in English. In 1834, the Lutheran congregation, assisted by the unorganized Reformed people, built a stone church on the southeast corner of William and Henry Streets. In 1852, the Lutheran people sold their interest in the church to the Reformed congregation, which had been organized in 1836, and the Lutherans built their stone church on East William Street. In 1856, the Reformed people replaced their stone building with a brick church which served them until damaged by the flood of 1913, after which they built their church at Central Avenue and Franklin Street. The German Methodists organized in 1836, and built in 1854, the brick building on the northeast corner of University Avenue and Washington Street. They existed as a separate conference for some years and then joined with the larger M.E. Conference. The Welsh Congregational Church was organized in 1841. In 1844, they built a brick church on West Winter Street on what is now West School grounds. Services were conducted in Welsh until 1870. The Baptist Church was organized in 1853, after having had lay mini- sters since about 1810 or 1812. They built their church on the present site in 1858. It was extensively remodeled about 1909. St. Mary's Church was organized about 1850. They built, in 1854, a frame church on University Avenue, west of Sandusky Street. In 1890, they built their present church on East William Street. Delaware now has nine- teen different churches.

Morgan Academy opened in 1815 as a tui- tion school but closed after a few years. Several private schools provided schooling from 1815 to 1825 when the first state law provided for a 1/2 mill tax for educational purposes. Population of Delaware up to that time was under 500 people. The main concern was for primary education. Among the interesting people who founded and conducted private schools were Mr. James B. Weaver, 1821; Capt. Murray, 1823; John A. Quitman, 1823; Miss Sophia Moore and Mr. Richard Murray, 1825; Mr. Asa Mes- senger, 1827; Albert Pickett, 1834; Horatio Seymour, 1834; Mrs. Howison and Miss Johnson, 1832, and Mrs. Sprague, 1832. Under the 1825 state school law, a stone school house on the south- west corner of Franklin and Winter Streets and a frame school on the northwest corner of the court house lot were built. Miss Eliza T. Thomp- son, later Mrs. William Carson, was the first teacher for the primary pupils. In 1834 citizens built Delaware Academy on University Avenue as a tuition school for older pupils. It failed soon but much later became a public school. Central School for older pupils was opened in 1846 as a result of an improved Ohio law for schools in 1847. It was the rebuilt old William St. Church and continued until 1859. Mr. Lucius P. Marsh, 24 years of age was the first superintendent of schools. In 1859, Central School was trans- ferred to a new building where West School is located now. In 1865, James S. Campbell became superintendent and continued until 1891. In 1869, a North School of 4 rooms was constructed, and in 1870 an East School of 4 rooms. In 1875 a six-room building was built in south Delaware. Rooms were added to all later. A high school was built on Winter Street in the 1880's, West replaced Central in 1904 and East was rebuilt in 1913. North and Woodward were built in 1950. Willis High School was dedicated on October 16, 1932. (Woodward School replaced South School and took the name of Laura Woodward, beloved principal of the school.) In 1879 the enumeration of the school age youth was 2300. Teachers numbered 25. The budget was $13,500, and the school tax was just over 3 mills. Some over 1100 pupils were in schools. Pupils averaged over 50 per room. Delaware High School's first commencement exercises were held on June 22, 1877 for 16 graduates. The 1955 graduating class has over 100. 1956 will see the completion of a new elementary school in Delaware, remodeling on East and West, added rooms on Woodward and North, making five elementary schools, one high school, and one parochial school.

During his office, he witnessed the change from one room to centralized schools. In 1882, Mr. Main began his teaching career in the one-room school in Marlborough Township, Number 5, at the age of 17. There was only a winter term and the teacher boarded around in turn at the homes of his students, and received a salary of $18 a month. From this township school, Mr. Main went to Ashley where he taught in the old school build- ing which is now the ribbon factory owned by R. B. Powers. In 1892, he became the principal of South School in Delaware. In 1908, he served as principal of Delaware High School, then in 1920, as superintendent of the Delaware schools. While principal, he was president of the Central Ohio Teachers' Association. In earlier days, he served on the Boxwell examination committee with Milton Utley and Ira Gregory. It was necessary for the students to pass this examination if they wished more than an elementary education without paying tuition. He also served on the examining board of the city and county teachers, as well as an executive for the County Institute of Teachers as long as it was held. He gave fifty-one years of unselfish ser- vice to the betterment of public schools in which he so firmly believed and so much loved. Forrest Main Lawrence DELAWARE COUNTY LIBRARY Through the vision of a small group of interested women the local library was established. It was originally organized as a municipal li- brary, but in 1951 was changed to a county district library serving every citizen of Delaware County. In addition, the bookmobile, serves twelve county schools, and adults at designated stops, as well as the Sarah Moore Home in Delaware. In 1954 the Library lent 98,589 books and magazines, which was 2,757 more than in 1953. The library lent 258 motion picture films to groups and individuals. This included 412 showings to audiences totaling 15,074. Children may participate in a summer reading project, as well as benefit from a Children's Librarian, and story hour period. Cooperation is given to individuals, clubs and organizations throughout the county both in supplying material and in helping plan programs, provide speakers, and on occasion furnishing a meeting place. A Young Adult Heritage Discus- sion Group was organized last year. It is one of eight such groups conduc- ted in Ohio Libraries during the past year.

The steps in the process are unique and interesting. Long a restful and refreshing haunt of buffalo, deer, and Indian, about a century and a quarter ago the spring, because of its "salubrious and health giving, although oderiferious water," and its nearness to the little village of Delaware, gave rise to the Mansion House Hotel. The hotel in turn was to become Elliott Hall, the first building of Ohio Wesleyan. The boom days of President Andrew Jackson and the enterprise of two men. one Columbus Kent and Thomas W. Powell, an outstanding figure in Dela- ware history, had built what was for that day an imposing hotel structure. For a few years this health resort and the sulphur bath houses that grew up around it attained a certain notoriety, and a degree of gay, "world- ly" social life, and patrons came from distant parts to this "Saratoga of the West." But the hazards of frontier economy and in particular the great panic of 1837 in the administration of Martin VanBuren, brought bankruptcy and failure to the ambitious effort. Then came the important steps: The raising, by Delaware citizens, headed by Adam Poe, the pastor of William Street Church, of ten thousand dollars to purchase the title and turn the bankrupt hotel into a Methodist college; the adoption of this program by Methodist leaders; the obtaining, in 1842, of a charter; and, in 1844, the opening of college classes - Nov- ember 13, a great day in college and town history. In 1853, in the Little Mansion at the head of Winter Street, the beginnings of the girls' school, the Ohio Wesleyan Female College, took place, and later was extended and called Monnett Hall. The establishment, not only of the men's university, but also of the girls' college, was to a large degree the work of Delaware citizens. The greatest step came in 1877 with the union of the two schools and Ohio Wesleyan was launched on its significant coeducational career. The list of names of those Delaware townsmen who were intimately connected with the founding of both colleges is too long to record here; however, there are such family names as Powers, Little, Hills, Welch, VanDeman, Powell, Williams, Pettibone, Joy, and Thomson. The only college names that can be here mentioned for those formative years (up to 1900), are those of the four presidents: Edward Thomson, Frederick Merrick, Charles H. Payne, and James W. Bashford. In return for what the town did for the college, what has the college in those decades and later, done for the town? Besides bringing students by the thousands and spreading the name of Delaware throughout the world, college professors and administrators have held municipal office, have served in the City Council, have promoted city improvements, reform, and welfare agencies, and have even held the office of mayor.

They pitched their tents near the banks of Webber Creek, where gold was discovered. A dairy written by Rev. Lemuel Herbert tells of another party with accounts from April 2, 1850 to July 20, 1850. In this group were two women, Mrs. L. H. and Mrs. R. P. Ranney. These gold seekers were cap- tured by Indians but released when given a bright colored vest by George Pugh. Records show more than 150 Delaware County 49-ers.

Description An account of the resource [page 21] [corresponds to page 23 of Delaware County Historical Society] [missing pages 21 and 22] MANUFACTURING, INDUSTRY AND BANKING The prime necessities in a pioneer community were food and shel- ter and our forefathers were not slow in erecting grist and saw mills wherever they could find sufficient water power. There is little doubt that Nathan Carpenter built the first mill in Liberty Township about 1804. The old stone mill was about a mile north of town on the Olentangy, then called the Whetstone. Nathaniel Hall built a mill about 1808 on Alum Creek in Berlin Township near the present Delaware and Sunbury Road. In 1818 E. Barrett & Co. started a woolen mill along the Olentangy just north of the Central Avenue bridge. On the Scioto river, grist mills were located at Millville, now Warrensburg, and at Cone's mill farther north. Moses Byxbe built a dam across the river north of Central Avenue and along the mill race on the west bank he erected a grist and saw mill, and shortly afterwards a woolen mill. Sometime later on the opposite bank, Judge Powell and Hawes & Brigham built the large stone building, still standing, to manufacture products from flax, then extensively used. They also made twine and cotton bagging. They went under in the panic of 1872 and the buildings were acquired by the Delaware Chair Company, which made double cane-seated chairs. To extract the oil from the flax seed, J. A. Barnes built the substantial stone building at the northwest corner of Winter and Lake Streets. A paper mill was established by Caleb Howard at Stratford in 1830. It operated until 1872 and at one time was considered the most important paper mill west of the Alleghenies. The Delaware Fence Company was organized in 1868 by A. J. Rich- ards and Eugene Powell. Some of their product did enclose the court house grounds. When taken down it was moved to the county home grounds, but has recently been removed from there. Col. Byxbe had a still in the cellar of his grist mill, another still was built by Dr. Reuben Lamb on the Delaware run nearly opposite the spot where Edwards Gymnasium now stands. Joab Norton built the first tannery in Delaware in 1809 just north of the Edwards Gymnasium location. The cigar makign business started in Delaware County in the early 1850's, with Charles Wottring as the pioneer. The oldest and largest firm was The Riddle Graff & Co. Mr. Christian Riddle learned his trade with Mr. Wootring, then in 1866, formed his own firm as a partnership with John Liebenderfer and Jacob Bolinger. This firm purchased the Wootring business and the following year Mr. Riddle withdrew from the firm. This firm continued with some personnel changes until the early 80's when it was assigned to Charles Wootring who closed it. After Mr. Riddle withdrew from the firm, he started his own, in 1867, doing a small business. It is said that the first 100 cigars he shipped went to a man in Galion, Ohio, who never paid for them. In the early 70's George L. Graff became a partner and the name Riddle & Graff was adopted and then in 1874 LeRoy W. Battenfield became a partner and 23 Title A name given to the resource Delaware County Historical Society (p. 21) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/5603648b63de18335b36bd8117de3ea1.jpg ca756d0b5f18b44eab6a087ff3cece21 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 22] [corresponds to page 24 of Delaware County Historical Society] the name was changed to Riddle Graff & Co. Mr. Graff retired from the firm in the early 90's. Their office and factory were located at 10 N. Sandusky St. This three story building was erected in 1878 and the com- pany employed from 120 to 150 cigar-makers, to whom were paid between $35,000 and $40,000 annually in wages. Their production of cigars each year was from six to eight millions, and five traveling salesmen were employed to secure sales in about six of the surrounding states. This business proved to be the largest of its kind in the state and continued until January 1, 1923 when Mr. Riddle retired after 56 years of active ser- vice. He was an active civic worker, director and president of the Deposit Banking and one of the founders of the Peoples Building and Loan Company. He was among those authorizing the building of the structures which housed these businesses. Other cigar makers were the J. Hessnauer & Co., Pfiffner and Hessnauer, The Delaware Co-Operative Cigar Co., Grasser and Haas, Wm. Hanitsch and Wells Brothers. The only cigar box manufac- turer in the county was Charles M. Ulrey who started in the early 80's and turned out around 500 boxes a day which were almost all used in this county. The Delaware Underwear Company was organized by W. A. Morrison in 1902 and was located in the building directly north of what is now Edgar Hall. About 1908 the company erected the building which is now Edgar Hall and the name of the company was changed to the Delaware Garment Co. They manufactured women's outing gowns, cotton dresses and skirts, and employed about 150 people. Later a branch factory in Galena manufactured outing flannel gowns. During the 1913 flood the water rose to the height of 7 1/2 feet in the building and some 600 dozen gowns, stored in the wareroom, were dried on the Wesleyan front campus. In 1918 W. A. Morrison sold his interest and established the Morrison Dry Goods Co. J. L. Anderson became president of the Garment Company and Robert Cellars and H. C. Kent were directors. In 1922 the company was liquidated and the building was sold to Ohio Wes- leyan and called Edgar Hall. There have been Delaware factories producing steam engines, iron fence, and farm wagons, as well as foundries and planing mills. The Dela- ware Clay Company manufactures brick. We now have Denison Engineering Co., Delaware Lumber Co. (sucker rods); Delaware Screw Products (mach- ine screws); Greif Bos. Cooperage Co. (barrels, offices only); Hughes Keenan Corp. (truck bodies); Industrial Canvas Co. (canvas products); A. C. Miller Co. (handles); Parker Products Co. (auto creepers); Ranco Co., (thermostats); Sunray Stove Co., H. H. Rardon Co. (caskets); Scioto Lime & Stone Co., Valves & Presses, Pennsylvania Salt Mfg. Co. (chemical specialities); Galena Tile & Shale Co., The Nestles Co. of Sunbury (choco- late products). The earliest existence of banking on record in Delaware County was in 1817 when two banks of issue were organized, but, failing to obtain State charters, were soon dissolved. 24 Title A name given to the resource Delaware County Historical Society (p. 22) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/7e7144068b4d57ce456affa1830bbfe5.jpg 518bb3eab202635f7bc8830513a77d4d 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 23] [corresponds to page 25 of Delaware County Historical Society] On June 14, 1845 the Delaware County branch of the State Bank of Ohio was organized with capital stock of $100,000. Officers were Judge Hosea Williams, president, and Benjamin Powers, cashier. In March 1865 the business was transferred to The Delaware County National Bank and continued until January 1905, when the named was changed to The Delaware National Bank. On April 4, 1931 a new bank, the Delaware County National Bank, acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of The Delaware National Bank which was liquidated. This bank was merged with The First National Bank of Delaware on March 15, 1939. The Bank of Delaware, organized as a State bank on August 3, 1857 was transferred to The First National Bank of Delaware on January 16, 1864 under which name it has continuously operated to date, having ac- quired the business of The Delaware Co. National Bank on March 15, 1939. The Deposit Banking Company opened as a co-partnership in Decem- ber 1869, was incorporated under State charter on May 14, 1890 and was liquidated in 1932. The Delaware Savings Bank Company was incorporated in February 1890 and started business on July 27, 1891. The bank was liquidated in 1932. The Farmers Bank, Sunbury, organized under State charter in October 1872, has continued in operation to date under that name. The Bank of Ashley, established in 1884 as a private banking institution and owned by Messrs. Sperry and Wornstaff was liquidated in 1931. The Farmers Saving Bank Co., a state bank, opened February 9, 1905, in Ashley, has operated continually to date.

Denison, Robert Powers, M. S. Cherington, W. B. Galleher DELAWARE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE The Delaware Board of Trade was organized in October 1899. Its object was to collect and disseminate such local and general statistical and other information as might promote the manufacturing, commercial and financial welfare of Delaware, and advance its growth, beauty and general prosperity. The purposes of this parent Board have been embodied in all the activities of the various succeeding organizations which have been continued down through the years. The present name of Delaware Chamber of Commerce was adopted in 1922. Headquarters are now in the Peoples Bldg., Winter and Sandusky Streets. Membership includes industrial, business and civic leaders of both the city of Delaware and Delaware County.

Description An account of the resource [page 24] [corresponds to page 26 of Delaware County Historical Society] THE DELAWARE FARMERS EXCHANGE ASSOCIATION This farmer-owned cooperative, which is now the largest of its kind in Ohio, was incorporated on February 15, 1919 by Lewis Slack, R. G. Dickerson, Charles Kunze, D. W. Jones and C. W. Humes (only one now living). Temporary officers were: T. L. Oswald, chairman, and Ber- nard Hatten, secretary, and they sold the first ten shares of $100 par, with payment of $10 on each subscription in order to raise the $100. needed for the incorporation fee. The preliminary work was under the guidance of the first Agriculture Agent of Delaware County, Forrest G. Ketner. The first officers and directors elected were: C. C. Dunlap, president; T. L. Oswald, vice president; Bernard Hatten, secretary; Ashton S. Conklin, treasurer; Lewis Slack, W. W. Ferguson, G. A. Dix, R. G. Dickerson, C. W. Humes, Elmer C. Miller and Walter A. Jones. The only ones now living are Dix, Humes, Miller and Hatten. The new cooperative on June 1, 1919 bought out the "Electric Mill" on South Sandusky Street, from West and Murphy and this burned several years later. W. A. West became the first manager, followed a year later by Daniel E. Murphy, a brother of the former partner-owner. The pre- sent manager, Clifford S. Gooding, who had been elected manager of the Lewis Center Branch in 1924 was a few years later elected general mana- ger of the fast growing organization. During the years the Association has taken over the elevators at Lewis Center and Radnor and the east side elevator operated for a few years by W. A. West, also the V. T. Hills ware- house on S. Sandusky Street and the Dunlap Lumber Yard on the C. & O. R.R. The business has increased from a volume of sales in 1923 of $248,625.00 to $3,750,000 in 1954 and earnings of $9,209. in 1923 had in- creased to $140,000 in 1954. New elevators have been erected in Dela- ware, Lewis Center and Radnor, with modern grinding, mixing plants and machinery shops installed. Present officers are Bernard Hatten, presi- dent; George L. Pugh, vice president; Harry E. Desgranges, secretary- treasurer; and directors: Claude Neilson Griffith, Harold Gooding, Harley J. Scott, B. H. Peirsol, Kenneth Freeman, E. P. Jones, L. Gale Russell, George Pugh and Bernard Hatten. There are now over 1700 stock- holders in this local farmer cooperative.

HAYES [portrait of Hayes] Rutherford B. Hayes, nineteenth President of the United States, was born in Delaware, October 4, 1822. His father had died two months before his birth, so that his Uncle Sardis Birchard had assumed some of the duties of his household. It was through the in- fluence of Uncle Sardis that the family eventually moved to Fremont, Ohio. Hayes was graduated from Kenyon College in 1842 and began the practice of law in Fremont. Later he was city solicitor of Cincin- nati. He was a member of Congress in 1865, served as Governor of Ohio three times and became the nineteenth president of the United States in 1877. His wife, Lucy Webb Hayes, was one of the first wo- men to attend classes with men students at Ohio Wesleyan, and the Sulphur Springs is romantically linked with their courtship. In the White House, Lucy was known by the "wets" as "Lemonade Lucy" because she refused to serve wine at official dinners. Hayes' has been ranked by historians as among our best of presidents. The birthplace on West William Street was torn down some years ago to make room for a filling station. A marker commemor- ates the site. It was erected by the Daughters of the American Rev- olution. 27 Title A name given to the resource Delaware County Historical Society (p. 25) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/ed414b268c3e6021d925ff92485b3452.jpg 303cdf904da2b301b61df57600d8be0c 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 29 of Delaware County Historical Society] MEMBERSHIP Membership in the Delaware County Historical Society is open to everyone and the dues are $2.00 per year for one person, or for two or more in one household. Why be a member? We feel that the work the Society wants to do is really a must if we expect to discover more about our County's early history and transfer that knowledge to others as the years go by. It offers one focal point where this knowledge can be assembled and the material things of the past preserved. This Society was organized in 1947 and the membership was carried along at a level of abotu 100. When it was certain that we were to have a Museum the urge to increase our membership re- sulted in a personal campaign which netted us 196 new members. In January a letter was sent out to almost every home in the County. This resulted in 265 new members which gives us a total of 565 members. These are divided 363 in the city, and 202 in the county and other points. The county can be further broken down as to mailing areas as follows: Delaware R.D. 1 - 29 R.D. 2 20 R.D. 3 14 R.D. 4 23 Sunbury 37 Ashley 9 Galena 6 Westerville 7 Ostrander 8 Powell 8 Radnor 8 Leonardsburg 6 Centerburg 2 Lewis Center 1 Worthington 1 Croton 1 Shawnee Hills 1 Out of the county post offices are 21.

Description An account of the resource [page 3] [corresponds to unlabled page 3 of Delaware Welcomes You] WITH A RICH HERITAGE: [photo] Birthplace of Rutherford B. Hayes Long before the first pioneers came, Indian tribes had established a camp here on the trail leading from the lower Scioto valley northward to the Sandusky Bay area. It is believed that a variety of medicinal springs may have been a factor in their selecting this as a campsite.(One of these springs is still productive on the Ohio Wesleyan University campus.) The City of Delaware was founded in 1808, the same year that Delaware County was formed by dividing Franklin County. It immediately be- came the county seat, and because it is almost at the geographical center of the State of Ohio, and because then, as is true today, it was situated conveniently on some of the main thoroughfares of the state, is was seriously considered for the site of the State Capitol before the City of Colum- bus was selected. In the early 1800's Delaware was one of the most popular health resorts in what was then known as the "west." Its Mansion House Hotel with its sulphur springs were, in fact, pictured on Staffordshire plates from England. During the War of 1812, Delaware served as the headquarters for General Harrison. But the city's greatest historical distinction probably stems from the fact that it is the birthplace of our nation's 19th President, Rutherford B. Hayes. Many relics of the city's past may be seen at the Delaware County Historical Society Museum at 157 East William Street.

Description An account of the resource [page 5] [corresponds to unlabeled page 5 of Delaware Welcomes You] For more than a century, Delaware has been one of the oustanding cultural centers in the state because it is the home of Ohio Wesleyan University. Founded in 1842 by Methodist pioneers who believed that the highest type of academic train- ing and the building of Christian character go hand in hand, the University has an annual en- rollment of approximately 2,000 students, almost an equal number of men and women, who come from homes in Ohio's 88 counties, and in most of the other states of the nation, the District of Col- umbia, Hawaii and several foreign countries. Along with its usual contributions to the com- munity in art, music, dramatics, and athletics, the University is a "bright light" which draws numerous celebrities - leaders in art, science, government, and other walks in life - to the com- munity. The Ohio Wesleyan Library is open to all and serves residents of the city and county. The Perkins Observatory, largest observatory this side of Mississippi, is located just three miles south of Delaware. It is open to the public from 4 to 5 p.m. daily. Ohio Wesleyan has many historic spots on its main campus, including the Sulphur Spring, the Mansion House Hotel, and a monument mark- ing the former site of the Barber Tavern which served as General Harrison's headquarters in the War of 1812. Legend has it that it was at the Sulphur Spring that President Rutherford B. Hayes proposed to his bride-to-be, Lucy Webb, one of Ohio Wesleyan's first coeds. The Mansion House was built in 1833 in the boom period of President Jackson to accommodate the stream of tourists and health seekers. The first building to be occu- pied by the University, today it is known as Elliott Hall and houses offices and classrooms. The University is now engaged in a building program which already has seen construction of two new residence halls for men and the Phillips Building at the right and is looking forward to a Science Center, a Communications building and others.

Two parking areas have been provided by the city to make it easier for you to shop and park near the business section. The last ten years have seen a steady indus- trial growth in Delaware and its environs. The chief reasons for this have been the many advan- tages we have been able to offer industries which are looking for a city the size of Delaware in which to locate. Our rail transportation reaches out in all directions. Many trucking companies also cover Delaware with their nationwide services. Four U.S. highways cross or are adjacent to Delaware. We are near enough to a metropolis - Columbus - to enjoy the advantages which such a city can offer. With regard to utilities we are served by one of the major electric power companies, an excel- lent natural gas supply and an abundance of good water. Our telephone exchange is new and has all the latest dial operated equipment. Our climate is sufficiently varied, offering us the four seasons, warm summers and mild winters with enough rainfall and long growing season which makes our surrounding agricultu- ral countryside a rich and prosperous one.

Description An account of the resource [page 7] [corresponds to unlabeled page 7 of Delaware Welcomes You] PROGRESSIVE IN INDUSTRY: [photo] Sunray Stove Company Approximately two-fifths of the 9,600 Dela- ware County residents working in 1940 were farming. About one-tenth held factory jobs. Employment in plants within the county climbed to a monthly average of 1,900 by 1945 and is 2000 today. Principal products manufactured in the area include thermostatic controls, truck bodies and cranes, gas ranges, screw-machine products, hydraulic controls, instant coffee, canvas products and chemical specialties and brick. The labor situation is good. Most of our in- dustrial labor is local, above average in intelli- gence and skill, from which you can draw without importing an undesirable class of workmen. Besides being an ideal location for new in- dustries, Delaware offers every opportunity for expansion of existing industries, as is witnessed by the present expansion of Sunray Stove Company (see above) and the Denison Engineering Company.

There is an elementary school in each of the geogra- phical districts of the community - East, West, North, Northwest, and South. Willis Senior and Junior High School is centrally located on West William Street. Delaware also has one parochial elementary and high school. CHURCHES - The community is well served by 19 churches of many different denominations and they provide numerous outlets for religious and social needs. LIBRARIES - The Ohio Wesleyan library, of more than 180 thousand volumes, is open to all local residents and, in addition, the city-owned Carnegie Free Library in downtown Delaware serves both city and county residents. MUSEUM - The Delaware County Historical Society recently opened its museum at 157 East William Street. HOSPITAL - The Jane M. Case Hospital, set in a grove of oak and maple trees, west of the city, has just been remodeled and expanded and has a 103 patient capacity. It has both a medical and an osteopathic section. NEWSPAPER - During the past 136 years, Dela- ware and the surrounding marketing area have been served by The Delaware Gazette, a daily newspaper with a circulation of almost 6,000.

Season and family memberships are available. During the colder months Ohio Wesleyan permits many local organizations to use its newly completed indoor pool in the Pfei- ffer Natatorium on the campus. FISHING AND HUNTING - Fishermen don't have to go far beyond the city limits to make their catches. Since the Delaware Flood con- trol Dam gates were closed 3 miles north of the city a few years ago, Delaware has had its own lake which is stocked periodically. The Scioto River, in the western part of the county about 7 miles out of Delaware city also offers good fishing. Boats may be rented at both loca- tions, but all motors must be licensed. Much of the area surrounding Delaware is rich with game for hunters. One of the favorite spots, though, is the hunting area near the Delaware Dam which is maintained by the Conservation Department. BOATING - Sail Boating is a popular sport on the Scioto River. Other small crafts are per- mitted there, too. Many city residents perfer boating on the reservoir north of the Delaware Dam where private boats may be docked for a reasonable rental. Water skiing is becoming an increasingly popular sport at the reservoir. TENNIS - Ohio Wesleyan University maintains a dozen tennis courts on its East and West cam- puses. These are made available to local resi- dents during the summer when the students are away. GOLF - Several golf courses are within easy driving distance of the city, but most local re- sidents hold membership at the Delaware Country Club, just three miles south of town. It is a good nine-hole course. PICNICKING - Two parks within the city limits, Mingo and Blue Limestone, have picnic facilities. Many residents drive to the Delaware Reservoir area's picnic developments and others head west to the Scioto River's east bank. Holiday Hill, west of town, is the scene of many company and community picnics and dinners the year round and offers square and folk dancing. SPECTATOR SPORTS - Besides their enthusi- astic support of Willis High School teams, local residents enjoy watching Ohio Wesleyan's "Bat- tling Bishops" in action in intercollegiate com- petition - football, basketball, cross country and track, soccer, baseball, tennis and sailing.

Title A name given to the resource Tour of Community Library with Rachel Cring Description An account of the resource TOUR Of COMMUNITY LIBRARY MAY 1986 Rachel Cring narrating RC: ... Sunbury and today we're going to take you on a very brief tour of the library to show you basically what we do there. Um we're standing out here on the Sunbury Square right now because I wanted to tell you a little bit about the history of the library before we start. Um, Community Library is named that because it does not represent just the Sunbury community, but the Sunbury, Galena, and Center Village or Harlem Township. Back in 1944 a group of ladies from the Sunbury and Galena YWCAs got together for a tea and talked over the fact that it would be a good idea to have a library. So a very short time later, um, such a library was started over on the corner where the Sunbury News now stands. Actually the library was started in the basement of a butcher shop that stood there at that time, but that building has been moved up to another location But this is the location where it was. And then after several years the library moved up Vernon Street to a house that is now burned and so we can't show you that. But in the early '50's then finally it moved across the street to where it now is located in the Sunbury Town Hall. Um, we'll start walking over toward the Town Hall while we talk about the Hall itself. It is on the National Register of Historic Landmarks. It was built in 1868 by public subscription. Um, people in town gave money to build this building and it was used as a school. It was the Sunbury Union Institute. Over the years it's been used as a church, fire department, my mother worked there as a volunteer in the rationing office. It's been a jail. At the time that the bank moved it was used as a bank and there used to be a vault in it. At the time that it was built for $6500 the Masons in town gave $1500 of that to build the third floor where they had their Masonic Temple for years. And then later on after they moved out it became a youth center and there was a pool table up there for awhile. Basically, the building shows us that this town has always been interested in working for the things that feels it needs. Initiative has been a very strong tradition in the town and it has been used basically for just anything that didn't have some place else to go. So that's what happened when the library needed a place in the early '50's. We'll go in and you can see the first floor. When I used to come here in the sixth grade, the first floor was the entire library. Half of the first floor was the adult department and half was juvenile. And then by the early'60's we had expanded into the second floor, and then after I came back as Director in the '70's we went on to the third floor. So we'll go in now and see who's in there working. By the way, Irene will not be at her desk because she's operating the camera, so don't trip Irene. OK, this is the adult section and the main circulation desk of the library. Here is Charlene Tweedy and she's gonna smile at you just like she does. She's one of our main circulation people. Always looks pretty and smiles. Well it's true Charlene. Do you want to say anything about your job here at the library? What people should know? Charlene Tweedy Maybe I should have prepared a speech RC: Should have prepared a speech, chuckles. CT: Well it's a great job. I enjoy working here, I enjoy the people. It's fun. RC: If we had a worst problem what would it be? CT: Well, we certainly are hurting for space. We'd love a new building some day (off camera voice, "I hate mosquitos.") RC: Prompting, chuckles. And over here, thank you Charlene. CT: You're welcome. RC: This is Joyce Seitz over here which is not her accustomed place, but this morning she's trying to...(Joyce is working with the card catalog) Joyce this is, who knows who may be watching this someday. And we'll see in a moment where Joyce normally works upstairs. But, uh this morning we're going to look quickly at the adult section down here. And one thing I guess I need to point out is that since this building was not built for a library, several years ago we started seeing real structural damage and the village had to apply for funds to do a renovation, which was fine except that at that time we had some major changes that made living in the building even harder for us. For instance, we used to have a little bitty restroom, and now we have a great big one, but really, chuckles, the capacity has not increased. This restroom is almost as big as our whole technical processing department upstairs but it still has room for only one actual restroom stall. And, uh, in building it they set it in the room in such a way that we have also, you maybe wanta come back in here Irene and shoot, a cul-de-sac and this is where our generality starts. Non-fiction starts back in the corner if you get over here and peer that way you can see some of the pictures from our art lending collection, everything here circulates. And then from this corner the collection continues around the wall and into the second room here. (lots of background talking by various people). This um, give Irene a chance to (unintelligible) (sound of baby fussing) the section in the center here behind the card catalogs is our entire ready reference section that we can keep on the main floor. We have many, many more reference books in boxes upstairs which you'll see in a couple of minutes. And, let's come back into the council room now. When the library moved in here, this was still being used for council meetings and there was a huge table in the center, and we would work around it. We had special cases, bookcases designed with rollers so that when events would take place in here we could push them back against the wall and they could go ahead and have meetings or voting, uh, collected taxes here, done blood pressure checks just basically anything that needed a place to go would come here and we would try to accomodate it by pushing back the, the cases. After the renovation, however, they decided that, um, we couldn't have everything packed into the room so we took out everything except the cases that we absolutely had to have for the adult collection that's in view. Oh, we left out where we keep our westerns. Just keep rolling and we'll go back in here. Now Irene, you will have to step in here and shoot this without me because this is where we keep the westerns, the paperbacks, the paper supply, the staff refrigerator for downstairs, various things we can't fit in anywhere else. Um, and people who want westerns do have to come back in here and kind of crawl around to find them. Okay now, if you come out again, the other thing I forgot to point out was where the booklift used to be. Um, when the village moved us in here, in the 60's I guess, it was when we extended into the second floor, they added a booklift which used to be right in here, and it served alright for many years and only broke and collapsed, oh maybe five,six times. So now you see a table of books that we do hand-carry to the second floor where the pages can put them away, they've got to get them up there. This is one of the really pressing problems that we have with a multi-story building and no book lift. Now go back through the council room and we're going to go into the back stairwell and up the back way to the second floor. On the way I'll point out this is one of the things we feel bad about. These are donated books that are waiting for the flea market and we don't really have any good place to store those at this point so when they come in, we put them wherever we can and try to unload them the next flea market time. This back hallway here is what really I guess the main entrance of the building used to be. But now, for us in this section that used to be the vault for the bank and various things is our custodial area and it looks pretty good right now because it's just been cleaned out so it's not too bad. It is, however, a really, really damp room so anything that you put in there you might as well count on not using if it's paper. We try not to leave anything in here too long. And, uh, actually we have ended up with less space, less usable space than we had before and the other half of this stairwell you see more donated books, this is just a drop in the bucket. They also laminated some of our under stair space that we use to put donated books in and closed that up. And then back in the back is the fuse box and such. Now we're going to go up the steps and on the way up the steps you will see books and various things stacked on the steps which we know is not a good idea, but at this point we have no place else to put the things that we are saving. These are to be added to the collection, they've come in as donations. And up here we have some things that are waiting to go to the third floor. Since everything is hand-carried we take them up as we go. Out here is one of our audio visual cabinets. It has film strips and various things in it. Our record catalog which really we've never used that much so we basically use it like a shelf list. And then down here some of the AV equipment and such. Reserve books for the classes, uh, staff coat area. And now we're going to go in to the second floor. And the stacks are set in keeping with the loading plan that we were given when we came back in after the renovation. We do have load limits on all the floors, and in spite of that we are beginning to notice that the floors are, uh, rolling again. We've got some problems with the underflooring so it could be that we aren't(baby giggle),(adult chuckle) we may not be out of the woods yet on the building. And mainly juvenile, this is juvenile non-fiction, fiction, easy books. Here's our children's librarian Polly Brehm. Polly would you like to say anything about your job, good bad? PB: Nothing right now. But I'm trying to build a sticker for the Summer Reading Program. RC: A, designing a sticker for the Summer Reading Program. Poly works in approximately 30 square feet of space here, this is the entire children's department. This is where it happens. And on the other end over here we must point out where our clerk-treasurer works, again in approximately, actually 30 square feet is more than what she has. But this used to be just a cul-de-sac I guess, a stairwell thing, and we made it into an office because there was no place else to put her. If you want to Irene, why don't you stand up there and get a picture so that we can see how much is really crammed in here. (Background voices and noises) And actually this is an improvement over the situation that used to exist with the clerk-treasurer because it used to be that she worked back in the technical processing area (background voice "Polly, phone", "Thank you") and had absolutely no privacy and no place to put the papers when she was working with. This, and over here is where the books come up, where the book lift used to be, again, this is where it would emerge but now the books are here waiting to be (unintelligible). And we'll come back into the technical processing area, and here's Helga. This is another thing that we have on the second floor is our video...this is it, Helga Helga: That's it RC: You're on camera Helga: Oh boy RC: The covers we keep over there and then come back in here you can see that, give the cover over to Helga and she'll come back and get it on again. It's an unwieldy situation but it's the only place we have to put those things. Now this, as I said, is the entire office area, we call it the technical processing but it's a lot of other things too. This desk where no one is sitting except the black bag, that's the camera bag, and Irene is running the camera so obviously you won't see her right now. Here's Paula. Let's get a picture of Paula, whose area we just showed. PP: Do we have to? (background voice"yes") RC: This is our clerk treasurer Paula Phillips and she's the one who makes it up and down that little set of steps into the 30 square feet. And back in here then, the typewriter with the empty chair over there is where Joyce would normally be and she's downstairs right now, as you just saw. And then back in the corner is the desk where Erin Davis, who's our audio/ visual person and graphics person, and she comes in here around 3 each day or a little after. This entire area is around 200 square feet and in it at any one time anywhere from three to maybe five or six people could be working on a, on a busy day. If someone is sitting at the typewriter typing, and someone's at each desk. And someone's also doing video. And then this is my desk which, uh, doesn't always look this bad, but sometimes does. This is basically the place where I do the administrative work, cataloging and everything else right now. Papers. And all kinds of statistics and everything. So this area right in here is one of the most active areas of the entire library. During the Summer reading program time especially on Thursday afternoons when we have the reading club deal. During the time that that's going on and their parents are here to get video and the kids are here to get to get their books and (unintelligilble) this place is just like a zoo; literally,it's extremely active. OK, let's come over and look at the periodical section that's up here. Hello, ladies. Be sure to get pictures of people actually checking out things (background conversations, "Like a bad penny, we keep turning up.") These boxes of books that you will see sitting around are boxes that have come in from the big book order that we were able to place at the very end of last year because we didn't know whether or not we would have funds to buy books. So we had accumulated our orders and they came in and now we have a work load problem when so many come in at one time. OK, back in here, this is the juvenile card catalog, but then this is again where we keep the video, also it's where we keep the current issues of the periodicals, our pattern collection, which is quite actively used. People... This is the only place in the village of Sunbury and around that you can get patterns. We take the current Simplicity catalog so people can come here and browse. And um the reason that you don't see more magazines is that the back issues from the years before are up on the third floor along with the books that we can't get on to the regular shelves. So let's go up to the third floor now and look at one of our two closed stack areas. We did move our records up here and we have the micro film, one of two that we own. Microfilm/fish reader/printer and then this is the microfilm cabinet. We also have our office, the in-house copier that we use for (unintelligible) in here with the video audio, and periodicals, so when we're trying to produce something to get out right away, it's mayhem with everybody going in different directions. OK now we're going to go up to the third floor, and we're going to see one of the real headaches for this library. Um, since we cannot load the floors heavily enough to put everything out, since there simply is not space to put everything out that we own in the adult collection, several years ago we started taking the slower moving books and putting them into boxes, coding them, so that we could retrieve them but then moving them to a closed stack area where we just basically store them without having to use shelves. And then after the renovation of the library and our load limits on all three floors were reduced so, ah, the door almost stuck, that would have been a good demonstration. After the renovation we had to cut back even more, we had to establish two closed stack areas. This looks absolutely terrible and there's a reason for it. First of all, the books that are on the floor in the boxes are ones that, still are being used but not so actively as to justify space on a shelf. You can tell by the numerous boxes with the open tops, books are being put in and taken out of the boxes. At one point I started putting books back on the regular shelf after they came out and discovered once again, of course, that we were overflowing so we have to now return them to these boxes, once they're checked out. Also around the edge are the hard copy of the magazines that we're taking, and these also are used. This mess that you see right here is a piece of shelving that collapsed recently. We think maybe the earthquake had something to do with it but we're not certain. It's going to have to be re-built and we're working toward that. Our maintenance person has only a certain number of hours per week and right now it's catch as catch can but we're trying to put that back together. Over here against the wall are some of the bound copies that the library had started of National Geographic, hobbies, things that are of particular value to them. And then the office supplies, saw horses that we used for moving. The empty piece of shelving that had to be taken, actually these need to go back up to, the furnace burned out and had to be replaced. Basically this is our catch-all spot and right now it looks bad, mainly because of the collapse of this piece of shelving. But the entire collection of the library numbers around, it's nearing 60,000 volumes and was really pretty thoroughly weeded several years ago. And right now our standard turnover rate is one of the higher in the state. So we don't feel that there's a lot of dead wood here. The original inclination is to walk on the floor and say well why don't you get rid of these things? Well, because they're still being used. And if our turnover rate were lower we might worry about it, but right now we feel very certain that if we throw away some of this stuff we're going to regret it. So we don't want to do that too soon. Now we're going to go down the steps and out and we're going to go across to the other closed stack area, the one that we established at the time that the library was out of the town hall while we had to move out while it was being renovated. And then where we ended up having to leave some of the books in a warehouse area because they couldn't be brought back in because of the reduced load limit. That means that when someone wants to borrow a book and it's not in the collection here in the building, the page has to take the cert card and make the trip that we're about to make across to the ware- house, get it, and then bring it back. So you're ready to hike up... The place that we're headed is straight across the street here down the walk, as I said is the place that the library moved to when it had to move out of the town hall. Um, again we had to decide on which books to leave in the public area because that was very limited on the first floor here which is now an antique mall and then we stored everything else that we could in the basement underneath it. And the leftover, the books that we still had that we had no place for we put in a storage room down the street, that is now the Long Branch Pizza. So in 1983 your Community Library was located in three different spots, all at one time. Now page coming across to retrieve a book, if it's during the hours that the Sunbury Antique Mall is open, that simplifies it a bit because we'll walk in and go down the steps. If it's before or after that, then the page would have to come across and go around this whole set of buildings, down the alley (background conversations and traffic noise.) OK, originally this was a drug store years ago, it's now... there's Phyllis. Hi Phyllis we're making a little, we're making a little film this morning Phyllis: but not.. RC: to show how the library works and we're on our way to our closed stacks so Phyllis: Your closed stacks RC: our closed stacks in the basement. We try not to bring money when we come here because it's too tempting, other... Be careful now (unintelligible comments) think about how tricky this would be Phyllis: Careful you don't trip on those display cases. And if they're in your way let me know. RC: Oh ok. Here's a chair for... Now the light down here may be difficult. Oh, gotta find the key too. We have our own separate entrances and exits each one of us. We tend to use each others 'cause were friends. Ok we're going to go downstairs. Now I don't know Irene this may be too dark. We'll give her a try, you just keep shooting, we'll see later what we get. Irene: hard to see what ... RC: OK because this is shared space and because we can't afford it to begin with, our books are in these boxes and again you see the tops are open, we are getting in and out of them. But then at any one time when we come over here we may discover that the antique people have put some of their extra antiques around for storage which is what Phyllis was referring to. In this corner these particular boxes are not circulating books. These are the ones that we brought over waiting for the next flea market. All these are donated books, and we do have the flea market in town three times a year and the library participates in at least one of those and sometimes all three. Usually they do two of them. At the time that we were in here this whole, this floor was used for closed stacks and then all of our technical processing was done down here the clerk-treasurer was here. Um, just basically all of the clerical things were done in this area. We did have a, a flood one time when the, when it rained so hard that the water came in on the floor above us and ran down the pipes and everything. And since we're located under a dentist's office you can always tell when he's working because you could hear the constant flow of water, so that was something that we put up with for about a year. Ok this is um, this is called the basement closed stacks and that's how the cards are coded for the books that are down here. Where Irene is shooting from is where I used to do my work, in fact my old desk is underneath here. We had no provision for moving out, we were told that we had to be out within a month of the time that... and so we took what we got and this was left by the old NAPA Auto Parts place and I discovered that I could bring my desk chair over and this was an ideal, this was the only room that we had anyway, so I wouldn't have had room for a big desk so I worked in here, our former well, reference person, the one whose place you took, Irene, used to work in that section and she was surrounded by shelves on each side. Joyce did the technical processing right where that one bunch of books is and then the clerk-treasurer did her thing just a bit farther back. And it was really crowded and that was the time we started video so originally we had our video cassettes down here and when someone wanted to check one out, one of us would have to run upstairs with the actual cassette to insert into the case. So I suppose what we have now is an improvement over that. Irene: I'm assuming the light was much better then, when you worked here? RC: Well we turned on these, but the light was never really good, ever. Irene: So it was pretty much like this? RC: Yeah, it was a little bit lighter but not much. It was really, bad working conditions, so that as I say now when we go back into a building that's as clean and pretty as the one we're in, we think, "Oh, gee, it isn't as bad as it used to be" there temporarily for awhile when we were out. But, um, none of these situations are good. What now? Oh, our slide here. We left because this is how we got the boxes in, and since we're not sure whether we will have to move again soon or not, we figured we might as well leave it. Ok, now we'll go back up and we'll take a break until the classes show up. And when the school classes are bussed in, we'll be sure to get a picture of that, and then explain how that whole system works with the schools. On our way out we are going to go up and around through the alley the way a page would do if they couldn't just come through the Sunbury. OK. Now if you'll keep rolling Irene, I don't know how we're going to negotiate this but I'll try. OK, I'll come out first (chuckles). It's really funny because I've lived in Sunbury all of my life and some of the other ladies who work with us have too. But until we moved into this storeroom many of us had never seen this back alley in town before. We didn't know everything that was back here. We got a Chinese restaurant down the way. And, and the time we were out of the building and had our books stored, we had to put a security system in because the room that we were using the kids would climb up the roof of the Chinese restaurant and break in (chuckles). So we didn't want that to happen. There's another antique truck. Sunbury is an antiquer's mecca now. And we will walk down the street. Should we mention that this was the shop that Cliff Barns from Dallas went through? (chuckles) Cliff was all over town. And then as we get to this corner, uh, the viewer will be re-oriented because you'll be able to see the town hall again. In fact, maybe this would be a good place, yeah, I guess we could see it from here. You can get a good perspective. There's where the Town Hall is that we came from. This is the street that we have just come across and circled around. And then if you'll make a complete turn Irene, we'll make a complete history of the library. Over there where those two trucks are parked is where the little white building stood which was the library when I was a little kid in school. We used to walk down from the elementary and up and into that building, but it burned. And it was at that point, well it burned after we had moved out. But when we moved in to the town hall, Polly Brehm, our children's librarian that you just met, was, I'm not sure what grade she was in, but she was young and used her wagon to transport books across the street from that little white building to the town hall. So she's a, really, she has a lot of seniority if it all counted. Ok, now we'll cross the street and, as I said, we'll check out until the classes come. This might be a good place to end this segment. Then we can walk in. Our first, no our second set of classes for the day, we're not sure exactly how many we have coming today because the teachers may have brought more than we had expected on the schedule. But, um, before they start up the walk here I wanted to explain briefly how this started. We are the school district library for the Big Walnut School District, and years back what they used to do was to put together boxes of books and send them to the schools and then the classes in each school, would rotate those boxes and share them and if teachers got the chance to, they would walk their classes down to the library but then the schools that were located too far to walk got kind of cheated out. So when I came back as director, and we looked into various ways that we could improve the programming of the library and, and make the whole operations stronger, we decided at that point to get in touch with the schools and arrange something which has turned out to be a wonderful arra.., uh, plan for the, at least the last ten years. Every class from kindergarten through sixth grade in the Big Walnut Schools comes to this library once a month. Um, in addition we have classes occasionally come from the junior high and the high school, but, but it's certain that we have it scheduled for the classes from kindergarten through sixth. We thinks this helps builds our future constituency. Very often when kids move in to town, they come with their classes and find out where the library is and then they bring back their parents and it becomes a family thing. They become used to coming to a central point, to a real library for their library service, and to using the card catalog which was something else that we couldn't do by going out to the schools. They didn't get the experience of actually searching. So now what we do is, you're about to see one of the classes come up the walk here. They will come in to the library, and they'll be looking for books, we'll be assisting them. In fact you'll notice that some of us are wearing our clickers, we have a, these little tally counters for the market we have converted to reference questions counters, and the gold one is reference, informational questions. The buff colored one is directional questions. We found out this is what we had to do because when the class gets here and we're runnning up and down the aisles answering all the time, you come off the floor and don't know how many questions you answered. So we've never turned in really accurate reference figures before this year. Um. We can kind of hear them coming now. The ones that are in kindergarten don't usually require so much help, but as they get older, and get up in the grades and start doing reports it really does become a hairy time when the classes get here. Once they have arrived on the cor...oh they're coming up this way, Irene. (kids talking) RC: They're carrying in boxes which they had the last time. (unintelligible narration) And Irene's going to just shoot like crazy OK, here come the classes Comments by unknown persons: It's so beautiful something like that Staff Member: thank you thank you Teacher: Now, I have to finish this book, I have three pages to read to them. We're going to review it. I'm reading as fast as I can. (conversations) Did she give you this? Alright Student: Excuse me, but why are you filming us...? RC: We're just showing... RC: Now if we can get down where it's safe, Irene kids chattering Student: Put cookie on book. Put cookie on book. laughter Student: New York Times RC: Let's see what the other class is doing RC: Other component of the library operation, in fact the only building that the library owns, and that is the Hopkins House over on the south corner of the square. That's where we do our programming, it's basically the only place that we have at this point that we can meet any groups. It was given to the library in 1970.... The Hopkins House was given to the library in 1977 I think by the McMillans, Harold... Um, to be used for library purposes. Now, it is also on the National Register of Historic Places. In fact, it and the town hall are the two buildings in town that are on the Register. It cannot be used for a library as you will see when we get over there. It's simply not big enough, it's not suited for that sort of thing. It was originally a stage coach inn and it was the home of one of the two founders of Sunbury. And it would be ideal for a museum some day, but what we are using it for right now is basically as the programming, the teen media center is there. Let's see, um, The Friends have a base of operations there. They're trying to raise money to renovate the building. And if we did not have it at this point we would have to really curtail some of the things that we're able to do with the school groups. Now when the bus pulls up, half the group gets off and goes to the library as you just saw, and the other half goes across and then to the Hopkins House. We always have to stop traffic at this corner. This is also used as headquarters for our international fair in the spring and um, ABE classes, Adult Basic Education Classes. Just basic library programming. Wherever, whatever...this is the place we put it. But again it's certainly not an ideal building. Don't trip Irene. A We're going to go in here and we'll see June Carter and the other class that she's working with. We'll try not to distract them too much. And then we'll go throughout the rest of the building and see what else goes on. Bell ringing Film Strip narration: "That's what your dog is for (beep) after all no one looks at things quite like you except maybe your pet (beep) your pet's someone very special you can share your time with (beep) whether you're alone (beep) or with a whole bunch of people (beep) no one does things quite like you with your dog (beep) sometimes he may be a bit frisky (beep) maybe because he needs exercise regardless of the weather outside (beep) and then, everything is just right (beep) your dog is a good way to make new friends (beep) perhaps a right way for you to start a conversation with someone you just met or someone you want to meet (beep) almost everybody likes dogs (beep) and cats (beep) and everybody likes to touch and feel warm and loved (beep) and that's what pets are for, to make us feel warm and loved (narration continues in the background) RC: We're coming up here to see what else happens in the Hopkins House. June, who you will see in a few minutes down there after this class changes, we'll stick around and see the next class come in, is very active in the Humane Society and so at least once a year during the program classes she gets a chance to do something about animals which she really enjoys doing that. Last year she had a live dog and I had to ... But she'll talk to them then about pets. Upstairs here now, again this is kind of a "dump space" and this area mainly just the library stuff goes into this part so we don't take too many pains with it. But we are going to come in and see the computer room. (narration still in the background) We are making an attempt to automate by degrees our library processes and so we have a magnawriter and printer here. We've been doing payroll on the computer now for practically a whole year and we're trying to get some of our other files on there. We have things in here from last year's float, from the International Fair that we do, the materials for the teen center we keep over here and then take them over when the center's open. We have, oh like, drywall figures that we've made and hate to throw away because they're just so good, and we do re-use them at fairs and such places. Having done this for several years we've learned how to re-use some of our valuable things. This is Miss Piggy, no film of the library would be complete without Miss Piggy. And we did her a couple of years ago when she was part of the logo, I guess, for National Library Week and she's been so popular that we always end up taking her to the fair and various places. And she's almost gotten shot a couple of times by the police when they've come in to see about the security system going off. Back in here is our paper room, where we store the Gestetner which we no longer use that much. But paper, a lot of the materials for children's story hour and the summer reading program. If you do a lot of programming you end up having a lot of things that you use only occasionally, and yet you hate to throw them away because so much effort has gone into them and they can be re-used. So this is a lot of what we use the upstairs here at the Hopkins House for is storing these materials. Let's take a trip into the front room here. Again this room is storage, and I don't know where the light switch is because we never use it. We have a little portable puppet stage here, a dragon's head that we use in the, or should be using in the procession for the International Fair. Twenty-four easels that were made for us. One year we were able to offer an art course through the High School here at the Library, er at the Hopkins House through the library, and a couple of the men in our Friends of The Library group made these easels for the people to use, cheaper than we could buy them anywhere and probably much better. So we've used them a lot since then, uh, even after the art class was over we have used them for displays and different things. We're going to be having an art show here this weekend. And some of these will be put up to put pieces of art around. We're going to come out on the porch just because it's neat to get this view of the town and this has little to do with the Library operations, but what we're looking at is the Walhonding Indian Trail. There goes a good representative school bus. And right along this street, which is the old 3 C's there used to be six different stage coach inns. Here we go, there's the class leaving now and they're going to be going across to the library to get books and class on the other side will come over here to see June. (students chattering, teacher talking). Getting toward the end of the school year they're really pretty calm considering (chuckles). Teacher: Hold it, hold it, hurry girls RC: Alright, maybe we can sneek downstairs now and get a word with June before the other class gets here. I'm not sure she's planning on saying anything but we'll just have her make something up. Yeah we're doing it JC: (June Carter) Hey the screen looks great RC: Yeah JC: The wall looks nice too RC: This is June Carter, you know as we say she's active with the Humane Society. So this is at least the, we have at least one animal program per year. JC: yeah RC: with the kids JC: really because,uh, as I point out to the kids the kindergarten and first graders check out nearly, what, 80-90% animal stories. And when it gets RC: uh hum JC: Oh yeah, and when it gets to about third or fourth there's still half the books are animal stories. RC: I didn't realize that JC: And you know I've just taken an impromptu survey by the time they get to fifth or sixth you still have about 20% of the kids, you know, they have a library book that's an animal book so one program a year is RC: There's scientific reason behind this then JC: Yeah RC: Yeah, alright I didn't realize that was the case. Maybe we can get a better look at the room now that the lights are on, let's go in there real fast before the other class gets over here. Irene, you're doing a great job, you haven't fallen down once yet with this (chuckles) This is the um, one of the older rooms. It's got the fireplace and it had a little portion of the painting that the itinerate painters did over the mantels and everything. This is a picture of the McMillins who gave the house, actually it was Mr. McMillin who gave it in memory of Mabel Bell. They had talked about doing it and then within about a year or so she died so he went ahead and gave this property to the library in her memory. And, uh, this is really a very old room. We are hoping someday that it could be, if not a Williamsburg restoration, then at least some kind of renovation that would make it look decent again like it did. But we simply do not have the money at this point, the Friends, and, let's go ahead and, oh that class isn't here yet. We'll, they're not on their way either. We'll travel back quickly and see what The Friends are doing. The Friends of the Library are very concerned about this building, as well as the library, and this is the room that Adult Basic Education uses. You can see their files and everything in the back there. But The Friends decided that they wanted to try opening a Thrift Shop that would be a long-term, stable way of making money that could be accumulated to renovate the building. And so we're going to come in now to the Thrift Shop. And this is what the back rooms are used for. Now next week when we have the art show, if we have enough art that needs to come into these rooms too, everything that you see in here will be pushed together and shoved back into the back room. So this will all be bare and there will be art hanging here. In fact, everything that comes into this building is supposed to be made portable so that if we have a program that needs the space it can be pushed back and the space can be used for library functions. It is an awful lot of work but we have no choice, we have no place else to go. This back room is where they do the actual selling and they have a little bit of everything. This is always a revelation for people to come in here. Some of us on the library staff have built our whole wardrobes. This, this pair of pants I'm wearing may even be Irene: This very pair, yes RC: from this thrift shop and you really find some wonderful things here, you know, that people give away. But we can walk through here then, and we'll come through the kitchen area, and into the other half which is also thrift shop. The Friends have amassed several thousand dollars, at this point, which is more or less earmarked for the roof. The really bad problem with this building right now, there are two, one is the south sill, and the other is the roof. And that's what's giving all of us concerns so this is the summer that that needs to be done. And this is the other half. The restroom that we have is, sigh, just the bare minimum that one would need I guess. When this building was given to the library, there were four different families renting the place, this was in four different apartments and so we had to ask them to leave of course. And some, some of the things that they had to put up with were really terrible and we aren't doing much better. The only restroom that is really functioning was, was this one we are using now. This back room is what we call our heritage room. And again we do not have the space, and things keep getting pushed in here because we have no place else to put them. To make it look the way it should look, and yet in here is a tremendous wealth of material. About the area itself, local history, um, families, some family trees filed back in here. Polly, our children's librarian is also the one who has the most knowledge at this point of what is in this room. We have a couple of fire-proof files, the old micro-film reader, which we don't have much occasion to use, but we put it over here for the day when this will be open to the public. And that's really the reason this looks the way it does right now. And the public does not come in here because the things that we have, we basically take over to the library and allow them to use them there, when, when it's necessary. Then in this same room is the trap door that goes into the basement. Now I hear the cow bell in front so it sounds like the other class is coming. Background conversations and cow bell ringing Teacher: Well Hi, chuckles RC: just a minute to hear the beginning of June's program (students talking) JC: When you came in you didn't know which way to face, it's this way. I always like to be different. OK, we're going to do two different things today and I wanted to tell you that, that um, I found out that so many children in kindergarten right through the seventh grade check out animal stories that we thought we'd like to do at least one animal story every nine months. And this one Mrs. Green gave to me, it's a new to the library but I'm sure the author's not new to you, Bill Peak. How many of you have read Bill Peak stories? OK. If you look where my finger is you can see the list of the author's books, one of thems right here "Chester the Worldly Pig", how many of you ever read about Chester? chuckles, Ok it's a good one. OK, this one's good too. One of the reasons I like Bill Peak books, he does his own illustrations and they're just great, they're just, even if you don't know the story, you cannot read a word, you can go through and enjoy his illustrations. So this one's called "The Gnats of Knotty Pine", and kids it is about a bull moose but it's also about gnats. Pardon? Student: What are gnats? JC: Gnats, can somebody tell off camera students: Oh yeah, They're like these little tiny bugs JC: Teeny tiny off camera student: and they, little, you know like, dogs and stuff JC: They're teeny tiny insects as I'd used to say when I'd see this word "the guh-nats", right? OK, then when we get through with this we'll turn the other way and watch, watch the slides. The giant bull moose shivered... RC: Reading the story about the gnats. And we're going to walk around here to the side to see where our dream is. When McMillin gave this land, or gave this house to the library, maybe this is the easiest way to go, we also got the side yard here. And Irene is about to walk through wet grass, laughs, in her high heels. Good luck. Um, we, we got this amount of land and then some of it behind. But, um, over a period of then the next couple of years after we had received the property, we had an architect from Columbus come up and do a feasibility study for us and look into what it would take to use the Hopkins House in conjunction with the Town Hall for the library operation, and basically, you know, how it would be best to go about finding a facility that has the amount of space that we need. Right now we, we need a minimum of 800 square ..., I'm sorry, 8,000 square feet in which to operate. Chuckles, We have like 800 -no it feels like 800, we have actually about half that much when you count just the useable space in each of the two buildings for library purposes. It's probably less than half that for actual public area, so we're in real bad straits as you have seen. So we were looking into how we could do it using the building that we lease from the Village along with the Hopkins House that we then owned. And after awhile it became obvious that, because these places are historic landmarks for one thing, there are things that we wouldn't want to do to them. And besides that, you simply can't expand the town hall at this point unless you would excavate under it, or, someone even suggested at one time putting a bubble over the top of it and developing around. We'd looked at all the various ways of doing it and decided that it just wasn't feasible after all. And so about that time, we can start moving back here now, we had some land given to us, and it was one of the few vacant lots left on the square. This was another subject for discussion that we have found that the library, um, is ideally located in the center of town. We looked at different places that we could have moved to but people want it there, and we have found that it's very actively used since it's there. So we wanted to stay as close to the town square as possible, and there just plain isn't too much land around to move into. But this particular lot is one of the vacant ones, and it was given to the library then in, oh dear, 19 maybe 78-79 in there. Half of it by Howard Cring in memory of his wife Florinel and the other half by the Ruthig family and the Williamson family. Mrs. Ruthig had been on our board and knew of our need and thought this would be an appropriate gift in memory of some of the members of her family who had also run businesses on the Sunbury Square. Now, we did some negotiating and got our, traded a little land here and there so that now the lot on which the Hopkins House sits, does have a direct hook-up to this vacant lot that was given to us. And we hope that eventually, if the plumbing company moves, in this brown building that you see, if it should ever move out, we would hope to be able to acquire that land. And we did try to acquire the land that the Lawsons Store now stands on, but we weren't too successful in that. The stones that you see here on the stone fence, I see some of the kids broke pop bottles last night, but the stones here in the stone wall were from the building that had stood there that was demolished in order to build Lawsons. And that had been the Burrer Tavern. It was a beautiful building with walls that were a foot wide and it had been built by the Burrers, who were the stone masons that came from Germany. And in fact, the librarian right before me was Dillie Burrer, married one of the Burrer brothers. And so this meant alot to us, and we kept the stones hoping that if we do get to build the library eventually, we can somehow incorporate them into an entranceway, or into a little patio, or something so that we won't lose entirely the feeling of this end of town. This part of town was supposed to be the historic house district for Sunbury because so many of the houses along here do have real historic background. The Founders had built two houses along here and there was a harness shop and then of course the Burrer tavern. But what we hope now to do, as we move down on to this end, this would be the vacant lot where we would like to build a new library. I don't know how it will show up on the film, but it's almost three building lots. And we have a plan, Schooley Caldwell in Columbus is our architect at this point and they have given us a plan that shows that we could build a building on here that would meet our needs, and it would have a direct link-up then to the Hopkins House, and we could continue to use it for whatever we needed at that point. Since we will probably not be able to build everything that we need to begin with it may be a phased plan, and so we may have to continue to use the Hopkins House for programming, but then eventually it could be used for administrative offices or whatever at that point we needed. But definitely this is the big dream now. If we had a building that was large enough to accomodate our whole collection so that it wouldn't have to be fragmented into boxes and closed stack areas in different places. If we had an area that was all on one floor, you know, it breaks our heart to see kids come in to the library and not be able to get upstairs unless they are carried. The only place that someone in a wheelchair can really get to in that library where we are now is the restroom. They can't really even get between the shelves very easily to get their book. And so there are some really pressing reasons that we, we have needed a new library for at least the last 15 years I can say without question, because when I came to Community Library as director, assistant in '73 and then became director in '75, at that time the Board was really seriously looking into (chuckles) various options for lots and where to build and everything because it was a serious problem and had been by then. So maybe what we could do is, Irene, let's walk out here and, if we come right out here to the center of the lot, this is Evening Street that we're facing. And that green land beyond there is the Miller property, facing 3 C's. Some day when we finally get our library built on this lot we hope it will have a lovely window that looks out through there. And if this were toward evening, there would be a setting sun out there. So since it's a traditional way to end films, let's pretend that this is the setting sun in the west and with that CT: ...at the Community Library. I'm here at the Hopkins House showing the annual arts show that goes on through the library and the Big Walnut High School and the Intermediate School. What it is it's the students in the art classes do their work and we bring it in and we have a two day show and it's also open to the public. Anyone who wants to bring in their paintings are allowed. And they're set up for the two days. And people seem to really enjoy them. And this is one of the many uses of the Hopkins House that we have here. I don't know, would we like to look around at some of the artwork that is done? The kids are really talented in this area. Most of these are from the high school kids in this room. There's a a scary one, chuckles.... we are shooting now are the ones from the seventh and eighth grader, the intermediate students of Big Walnut. Paintings and rough work that's in this room are all contributions from the members of the community. Quite a few nice pieces of work. (background conversations). HERE COME THE CLASSES... (student conversations)* Student: ... Dr. J ... Librarian: Did you like it? Good. How about "Comes the Night", did you like that one too? Student: I did not have it. Librarian: You didn't have it, you just gave it to me, was it somebody else's? OK, thank you. Oh, you had Harold, I was looking for Harold. Go on through. Student: They're hard to get out. Librarian: They sure are. OK, thank you. Librarian: Here, fellow with the bookbag come here. This fell out of your bookbag, do you want that back? Looks like a shark jaw. Student: Thank you. Librarian: Wait a minute, just slow down. Why don't you step over here and empty your bag? OK you got 'em alright, alright. Wait a minute, is there still a book in your bag sir? You still got a book in your bookbag? Student: No, that's mine. Librarian: Oh, that's yours, OK. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Librarian: Whoops! Thank you. Thank you. Why don't you stand right here and open your bag and get them out so that kids can... Student: Here. Librarian: Oh, well you got them all ready, well thank you. Very fast you are. Student: Afternoon classroom. Librarian: No, those are the morning ones from before. We'll have to send them to the bus. The last group left about three jackets and a book bag. Teacher: OK, We'll take them back. Librarian: OK, thank you. Librarian: Whoops! (chuckles). Teacher: I've got a couple of video tapes in there... Librarian: Thank you... you take care. Thank you. (conversations) Librarian: Go on through that way. Student: I'm beat. Librarian: You're beat? (conversations) Student: It's hot. Student: Look, we're on TV! (conversations in background) Student: Are we on TV? Librarian: No, it's not a TV, it's for the library. Student: I don't have any books out. Librarian: You haven't, then what's that? Librarian: Yes, that's the one I want. Personally I've been trying to find it for over a month. Students: Hi Mom! Student: I want this book. Student: I'm getting this book. I want this one. (background conversation "you may take out library books with your ...) Student: Hi. Student: Hello. Librarian: Hello. Come back this morning. Student: How many books do we get? Librarian: That's up to your teacher. Teacher: Because you have to bring them back tomorrow. Librarian: May I have your book please? Thank you. Student: Hey, we're on TV! Librarian: We're not on TV. Thank you. Librarian: May I have the book? No I have to check it in, do you want it back? Student: No. Librarian: Hum? Student: No. Librarian: Do you... Oh, OK. Thank you. Student: What are you doing? (background conversations) (students laughing and waving at the camera and saying "Hi") (student conversations) Student: Turn your back.... Librarian: Wave! You're on TV. Student: Hi! Libraian: We were about to give you up! Teacher: These first five are books that we found around the building after they collected. Librarian: Great. Super. Student: Excuse me, pardon me. Student: Hi. Student: Wait on me. (background conversations) Student: We're not getting videoed. (background conversation) Student: And if we are... Student: Are we getting videoed? Librarian: Yes. Student: Hi! (background conversations) Student: Can we take anything out? Librarian: You may take the books out, we'll pick them up at school on Wednesday if you want to leave them there. Or if you want to bring them back yourself. Student: Oh, this is madness! We're on TV! Students: Hi Mom, am I on TV? Hi Mom! Student: I want to check that out. (background conversations) Librarian: Keep moving Students: Hello! Librarian: Keep going. Come on, keep going.
