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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In sugar-making time. The memory of the little tasks That Dad told us to do, Just fills my soul with longings And thrills me thru and thru; The buckets first were scalded out Then placed beside the trees, And all the time the dear old camp Just ringing with our glees. And then we laid the old arch up Then well do I remember, And took our brace and bit When the sap was gathered in, And started out to tap the trees, How we filled the pans and built the fires And nearly had a fit And worked with lots of vim. To see the sap come spurting out, Nor did we mind the smoke and steam Oh: say but it was fine Which made us cry and cough, To see that sap just run a stream For joy was ours when Dad said; In sugar-making time. "Boys, Its time to syrup off." Twas then we'd use our wooden spoons To sample it you know, And then we'd take the syrup sweet And to the house we'd go, Then mother dear with skill and vim, That no one ere surpasses, Would clarify it on the stove And we would have molasses. Then we'd ask Ma to sugar off, But all these things have passed away. Which she'd always let us do Our Dad, the camp, and all, And besides she'd make us taffy, And nothing but the memories, And we'd be sweetness thru and thru; Which we often now recall, The doctor then would make a call, Come flocking back to cheer us But we would lay supine, And fill your soul and mine Just thinking of the fun we'd had With the happy days we spent with Dad In sugar-making time.

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

This fast and hard fighting team re- mains intact for the coming season with the exception of one guard, Leota Domigan, by graduation. Therefore the hopes are high for bringing the cup to Sunbury next year. This team was coached by Miss Huston and played under the leadership of Captain Edna A'Neal.

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

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

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

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

Description An account of the resource [page 50] [corresponds to page 48] forty-eight THE OWL OUR JANITOR [photo] All hail to our janitor! On November 11, 1918, Mr. Frank Duckworth took up his duties as janitor of the Sunbury Public Schools. Looking over the situation very carefully he found the work such as was necessary to enlist additional help, so he called in his wife. Together they have carefully labored until the present day. Owing to the interest they have taken in the school they had better be called guardians than janitors. We believe no school can speak more highly of their care-takers than we can of Mr. and Mrs. Duckworth. The teachers and all of the boys and girls have the highest regards for them. They can always see the things that need be done around the building and grounds and they do them. Everything is kept neat and clean and co-operation is without fail. We hope that they will stay with us a number of years. So altogether let us cheer them.

H. S. We were soon well acquainted and gradually grew accustomed to our new surroundings. Professor John S. Edwards was the Superintendent and he taught us the whys and wherefores of Algebra, the mysteries of General Science, also some of the boys took Vocations under him, with the hope of settling what occupation or trade he should take up as his life-work. Miss McCabe was our instructor in Latin and we were compelled to put in many a hard lick overcoming the difficulty of this dead language. Miss Miles taught the English and Music that year. We started our Sophomore year with the addition of four new mem- bers and everything went along nicely until the beginning of the second semester when we lost three of our class. This meant a good deal to us as all our members are fast friends and it was hard to give them up. We have Geometry under Mr. Hughes, who also gave us some mechan- ical drawing and blue printing along with it. He Also teaches some of the class Botany. General History, English and Physical Geography are under Mr. Johnson. Community Civics and last, but not lease, Caesar, are under Mr. Hed- rick. We have endeavored to do our full share in all school activities and do not shirk any responsibilities that come to us. Two class parties have been given during the year, which have strengthened the loyal fellowship of class members. We feel justly proud of our class for what we lack in quantity we make up in quality. --- Kenneth Weber '24, Historian. http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/5c85104685b8e9023674316301976422.jpg 9eb8d3e461e75272fe980d0b6a76d0b6 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

M. Pace, whom we all held in high esteem. We were specializing in deportment and attendance, and all scored high enough to be promoted. In the eighth grade we continued our work under the direction of Mr. Roof. We made rapid progress in this year's work and were promoted without the loss of a single member, to become a target of amusement for the "Heavenly Sevens" (Seniors) which enjoyable position we now occupy, having been duly initiated and banqueted at the home of a senior. At the beginning of the year our boys organized a basketball team and have played a number of interesting and successful games. We are now nearing the completion of the year's work and our hopes are high, as our teacher of Latin and Civics, Mr. Hedrick, assures us that we are the most brilliant class he has ever taught in all the years of his ex- perience. Our superintendent, Mr. Hughes, has given us such praise as to en- courage us to do our best work, and our principal and teacher of English and Algebra, Mr. Johnson, assures us that he firmly believes that, through our zeal, each and every one of us will some day become a world renowned scholar. --- Mary Biggs, '25, Historian http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/c89665d2aa8db266192236feeb532702.jpg e91451a27542a17faa5cc4d7799f7ab5 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The realization of this aim is quite apparent. --Alice Cornell, Secretary. http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/cbf69e1dd562295117829d0e4c709792.jpg 8a689cb9b24a798a27b86b797c17c7c9 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

II Just this side of the Linden track, Our new back tire went, "Crack;" Jim said it was a blow out, "So all you girls just tumble out." III We jacked her up with a great big jack, Right this side of the railroad track, Carl said, "Now don't you swear For I will give it plenty of air." IV Then we started out with a laugh and a curse, For all know bad would turn to worse, Right this side of a tire shop track The other tire blew out on our stop. V Jim said a new tube we will buy; All the girls began to cry, Lizzy said, "What will we do," I said, "Let's borrow a dollar or two." VI We finally got just six and a half Then we all began to cry and laugh. We bought a new tube for five fifty-nine. Then we were off for a very nice time. VII We stopped at the city of Westerville, Just forty miles this side of a hill, I had lots of fun with the Westerville vamps And we gawked until the front wheels cramped. VIII Edith and Alta said, "To Galena let's go, For there we want to catch our beau." Up the road we hit an old cow, Then the men, they raised a row. http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/66b3c3ed133a20e7fa7eb22f151b42d6.jpg 25d27f1fc710f0162b43d30c7a8da6c8 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Save all your banana peelings to grease hinges. Never throw away an old box; use it to make a phonograph. Don't destroy your old newspapers; save then for a rainy day. Be sure that scraps from the table that you throw away are devoured by either dog, chickens or cats in order that there may be no waste. * * * COULDN'T PERMIT IT. A party was surveying on a farm when an old man came hurrying out of his house and asked: "What are you doin' here?" "Surveying," was the reply of one of the engineers. "Surveying for what?" "For a railroad." "Where's it goin'?" "Right through your barn, I guess," laughed the engineer. "Well, now, mister, I reckon I've somethin' to say to that. I want you to understand that I've got somethin' else to do besides runnin' out to open and shut them barn doors every time a train wants to go through." * * * Stranger: "Do you know that guy over there?"

I've sat upon the Square, Nearby the rough old play-ground, Oh, the crowd that gathered there! Not one was left to greet me, Pete, And few were left to know, Who romped with me upon that Square, Just forty years ago. II The grass has all died out, Pete, Upon the school-yard green, The old school-house is falling down, And leaking in the seams; The flag pole has been broken, Pete, Which never had been so, We never had no flag to raise Some forty years ago. III The old stone steps are broken some, The doors swing on one hinge, The office door is not the same, "Please knock" don't make me cringe; But the bats have builded in the bell, That swung back to and fro, It's music now is not the same, Pete, As forty years ago. IV A new school house they're using, Pete, Just one-fourth mile below, The school-ground is so large, Pete That all of it don't show; Now marble stones are on the walls New bells swing to and fro, Their music's not the same, Pete, As forty years ago. http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/bde56a1109a8dba7ecd9fc29515e4ab8.jpg a7f2ffa1c2d92d6f3679eedc0ebc7df6 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The old swimmin' hold is dry, Pete, Where the whole gang used to go, To think how things have change, Pete, Since forty years ago. VII The old church-yard brought thoughts to me, That made me stroll so near, The graveyard near the depot, Pete, And that brought many a tear; I strolled along the creek, Pete, And picked some flowers to strew, Upon the graves of those we loved, Just forty years ago. VII Some are in the church-yard laid, Some sleep across the sea, And none are left of our old class, Excepting you and me. And when the time shall come, Pete, And we are called to go, I hope we'll meet with those we loved, Some forty years ago. * * * THE GALENA DIGEST Schoolmates, Friends, and Teachers: With a few words I hope to convince you of the value of your new Journal, The Galena Digest, composed by the Willisonian Literary Society of the Galena High School. As this is our first publication we shall greatly need your hearty support, which we must obtain in order to succeed. It would never do for us to make a failure of this and then let our rivals the Philaephroneans to make a bigger hit. Old as well as young will find pleasure and recreation in this journal. It is a great investment for the knowledge seekers and hidden within these pages is the true spirit of the High School. It is also economical for day-dreamers for our Editor leaves enough of space to enable them to read both in and between lines. http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/d5a348fe47a980662fc6d46adcdf6df4.jpg d0be5a5bff95c0bf52672549eae37c86 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Maybe some Philaephronean can throw light upon the subject. (b) It is rumored that the High School picture of the Class of '21 was broken by two Junior boys, but personally we think that it was broken by a Sophomore and a Senior girl gazing at it continually. (c) We have often wondered why the teachers always distribute generous "bawling-outs" to Theodore Bennett for making so much dis- turbance when he goes to and from classes. A bright, little, Senior girl has at last convinced us that it is not because of his number 10-1/2 shoes, but his uncommonly loud socks. (d) We suppose that Charles McCaughey is happy and quite willing to do hard work (for once) as he has begun to enjoy working in the Bakery. Topics taken from an issue to be published 25 years hence: Buy your groceries at Davidson's and Son's. Special prices on dry goods, salt meats and notions.

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

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

It seems that she is always in the kitchen, rattling a pot lid. While I am watching football on the grid. She will stir up the dust by starting to sweep. When I am in my big chair trying to sleep. And when it comes to spring house cleaning day. I want to be sure I'm out of her way So, I'll go to the barn and lay on the hay. My wife doesn't know it, but I have some candy, It's in a tin box so it will be handy. I'll tell you right now, but don't tell my wife. I've had a wonderful life, Just whittling away with my old pocket knife. Just before dark I went to the hickory tree. And cracked apart a nut, you see. I used my pocket knife to pick the kernal out. Then back in the woods I moved about and picked some wild flowers, to patch up the friendship of ours. And, so, at this housecleaning time. I just thought of another rhyme, That I'll use to please my wife, So I'll sharpen my pencil with my old pocket knife. illustration of pocket knife http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/e0f70ae0c28d606cd3bb316cac4ffbae.jpg cf94f2b3fb5b9fab372a311c50d4d96d Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Many historical facts would soon be lost if they were not written down in some form. The author didn't want them lost forever.

Whose only reward was his share of the spoil, And his only goal was the end of the row. But the man with the spade was a man self made, He'd dig a ditch with a very smooth grade, And would lay the tile for what seemed a mile, Then cover the tile to increase the yield, For every crop grown in the field. He had shoveled it out with rhythm and grace. Every small stone was lodged from its place. Straight as the string he had by his side, Strung out ahead to use as a guide. He was an artist, but hid his pride. He loved to tend his crops after turning the sod, And to watch them grow; each looking toward God. Later at the casket, at the time of their grief, Was a bundle of wheat tied as a sheaf. Dedicated to Frank Williams, and in memory of Clyde Griffith and Johnathan Davenport illustration of a man holding a horse with 3 children on the horse's back 1 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/76ddb7c4b63f844820e4748d8a64a730.jpg 8478dea7765648c0b1db21a74533a56b Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (10) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 2 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road Quote: As Agriculture Goes, So Goes The Nation" The land that was farmed had a drainage problem. The best way to solve it was to bring the tile through a rill or two from our land into another system. This we did with the help of Mr. Williams. Sometimes we dug five feet deep just to get the outlet that was needed. My grandparents owned over 400 acres of land in Berlin and Berkshire Townships in Delaware County. It was in the Johnnycake School District (not to be confused with the Pancake School, which was three miles south.) Each was named for what was often found in the children's dinner pails. The land was mostly clay loam with some of black muck in the low ground. There was also an outcropping of shale in some places, and a layer of water filled gravel 10 or 20 feet underground. The Shade farm was located one mile west of Alum Creek between it and Big Run. The farm was where Eleanor's mother lived until she was 96. An oil well was put down, and it produced a small amount of good crude oil. The pipe was lowered through a layer or more of thick limestone into a dome of rock. On the top of the ground was a large glacial deposit of both large and small rocks. Mrs. Shade was sure they would find oil there because her father's place in Oklahoma produced oil and it was covered with similar stones. There may be a reason for this arrangement. Could it be the large dome of limestone under the ground had retained enough heat from former years, or had it absorbed more radiation that provided a little extra in that area to cause the glacier to melt just a little faster there? This is strictly my theory, but my son-in-law says this could have been possible. After all, the glacial process took many years. He is a geologist and teaches in a college. The oil that they tapped was found in the third layer of the limestone. The large brick house was built of brick made by using the clay wax soil that occasionally cropped out there. The soil was pulverized and made into bricks on the site. On all of the farms, the fields were fenced in by rail fences. The farmers spent many days cutting and splitting them. They were made from hickory, oak , or other hardwoods. Shorter rails were used at each corner to hold the zigzag corners together. these were paced at about 45 degrees. A barbed wire fence and more short rails were used to tighten it up. 2 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/9a16d9eece2cff24a37647c400b723c3.jpg 627acd11e774f3c6f329fb83d4f3f966 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (11) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 3 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road Many Indian relics were found here and other lands owned by my grandparents, and later land owned by my wife and myself. The relics were arrowheads. they were usually brought from eastern Ohio. They also found smoothing stones for spreading bread dough and others for grinding corn or other small grain. the stone hand tools seemed to fit the hand. Some places appeared to be campsites where the work was done. Larger sites were on nearby farms and one where it appeared that a chief had been buried. The O.S.U. Archaeological Society dug some of these up before the Alum Creek Reservoir was made. On my Grandfather Griffith's farm was a very large barn. It was used for horses. He supplied large matched teams for neighbors each spring when they needed them. Most of them were broken and ready for work. Most of them were hitched in pairs, three or four abreast or in tandem using four, five or six horses. There were no tractors in those days. My grandfather, Richard Griffith, had a driving horse that would go to the buggy and stand between the staves on command. As a demonstration, Grandpa placed oats in its feed bag, but the horse still did the same. One of the neighbors was Mason Smith. whenever, he made hay and the dinner bell rang, even if he had fork full of hay halfway up on the load of hay, he would drop it and go for the house. Once John Ryant borrowed one of his horses, because one of his was sick. When he was back in the field, a dinner bell rang and the horse went back to the barn in spite of all that John could do. One of the horses that Eleanor's folks had whose name was Prince would come up close to a board fence and let all three of their young grandchildren get on his back. Then he would take them down the land and to Big Run and back. He required no saddle or bridle. Another one Old Toss would run off when Eleanor's mother drove him. When the kids rode him and they met a car, he would go to a ditch or over to a fence and just stand there until the car had passed. 3 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/a37dde40e975b947d1cd57379508f85d.jpg 44bb1e2b2fad9dea8d6cf910e54ae5c4 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (12) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 4 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road My Grandfather Griffith also had a few riding and buggy horses. At one time he had a team of them and used them for a carriage. He and the neighbors used two horses on their spring wagons. Driving horses was the pride of the driver and after each workout, they were curried and brushed. Sometimes they used horse blankets until the horses cooled down. Most of the barns had a room where the farmers could keep warm. often the hired man slept there. They also used it to clean and repair harnesses. Always, on bad days, they would oil the harness. The work horses wore large collars. Sometimes they used collar pads. When a horses's shoulder would become sore, the farmer would cut out a hole in the pad so that the collar itself would not rub against it. There were no licensed veterinarians at that time, but they had some very good practical ones. One man who lived not far away was known a Spot Quinn. He was known through out central Ohio. He was a good honest man who knew horses and all the tricks of the trade. He lived until he was over 90. Many farmers depended on him to pick out new horses for them. They gave him five or ten dollars when the deal was made. My grandfather and Eleanor's folks knew him well. He ate a few meals with them. He was very dirty when he was older. His wealthy sister came from Columbus in a Cadillac and tried to clean up his house and wash his clothes, but he wouldn't let her do much. He used an old watering tank for his bed. He put straw in it and the smooth sides kept the rats out. He lived on the Old State Road on the curve about a mile north of Route 36 and 37. He would get a ride by standing in the front of cars so they had to stop. No one wanted to pick him up because he smelled so bad, but they had no choice. He would often spit tobacco juice up the sleeve of his heavy overcoat. When in town, he would to the West End Grill or the Hamburger Inn to eat and drink. There he would talk to many farmers and people about horses, both work and driving horses. This way he got many leads. He was quite a boxer and was only robbed once. It took more than one person to rob him. After he died, they found a considerable amount of money in the sole of his shoe. All of my Grandfather's generation and the next were farmers, this you will see as you read on in the next chapters. 4 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/0f2723d795d8071837d581207ccb15b4.jpg facab6293737852207a212e4208db4d2 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

There was Rosanna, Marjorie, George and Tom. Bill and Dick and also John. They held it each year to shoot the breeze In someone's dooryard under the trees Or on a large porch in case of rain Each they had their domain. They came with baskets filled to the brim. Some people were fat: others were slim. Some drove on or two horses hitched to carriages with trim. Others drove Fords, Overland, Maxwells, Empire, or Krit Anyone of them could give the horses a fit. With high seats, cloth tops, gas lights, and hand cranks to get them started And horns, they were sure to blow before they departed. Later they found it was a lark Top hold the reunion at Olentangy Park. Uncle Tom brought tickets so kids could ride On the Whirlwind, Red Devil, or Water Slide. It also seemed to be their rule For kids to go into the swimming pool. After going to the ticket window and paying the fees, They were given cotton swimsuits that came down to their knees. They would have lost them if they should have sneezed. All ate so much food, most people would groan But when they left, they bought another cone. For several years, it was held in Mt. Aire At Dr. and Mrs. Willie's. They were a lovely pair. It was a grand place As we watched kinfolk embrace. Uncle George from Illinois was there He thought kissing the new brides was fair. With a swimming pool there nearby Our enjoyment nearly reached the sky. Soon one generation was gone, another came, And it was time to change our name. So it was called the Griffith, McNamara, and James Reunion Now it has become a well-known institution. 5 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/ad96535040e352450ea138e83360a7f1.jpg 3d5a52af16aef9cec73ef7ac674d5954 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

My Great-Grandfather came with his wife and children toNew YorkCity from Ireland during the potato famine. While there he bought the largest pair of boots he could find. He was a small man, but he said he could stuff a wasp of hay in them so they would fit. He would get more for his money that way. In Ireland, his last name was Griffin, but they could not understand his brogue. When the immigration officer wrote Griffith, he did not try to correct them. So, that is what they have gone by since. My Grandfather, Richard (Dick) Griffith, was born later in Cleveland, Ohio. His father went to work helping build the railroad. That is how he came to Delaware County and settled on some land in Berlin Township. Adaline Hotchkiss was the wife of Dick (Richard) Griffith. She was born in 1849. Her mother was Sarah Ann Scott Hotchkiss. Her father was Lyman Hotchkiss. Lyman Hotchkiss came from Waterbury, Conn near Watertown. I was told that two brothers came down to eastern Pennsylvania on a raft. One had a family: the other was Lyman. One night he took the raft and floated on down the river eventually come to Ohio. From there he came here and married Sarah Ann Scott. From this union came two girls, Adaline and Flora. Adaline married Dick Griffith but Flora remained single. She died while a young lady. My grandparents, the Richard Griffiths', had 3 boys, Alwood O., Winfred Irwin, and Earl Gorden. And their step-sister Grace Buckingham. All of them attended the Cheshire M. E. Church, as well as other churches. He joined Cheshire in 1879. Before that my Grandparents often went to peachblow. Dad and Uncle Alwood went to High School in Galena, Earl went to Delaware High School. Grace developed a musical talent and taught private and public school music in Columbus. They had a baby grand piano in their home. At one time someone told her that she had no musical talent, 7 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/aecd7853821c8d8e901aa68399e57a95.jpg 7449e7fcc646267fa0426c87a4376bb6 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 Corresponds to page 8 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road The Galena High School offered a three year course to graduate. The students often roomed there. Uncle Alwood's roommate was Frank B. Willis, who often walked from his home in Lewis Center, He later became U.S. Senator. Our neighbor, Fred Whittier, asked Sen. Willis if he would ever be our president. The answer was that he was too conservative. And he was not acquainted with the right people. My uncle Allie died when I was in the eighth grade. Sen. Willis preached his funeral. He said, "Allwood Griffith never told a dirty story." I was at an impressionable age and stopped memorizing and telling them right then! My grandfather's sister, Rosanna Griffith, married John McNamara. Two of their sons married Ford sisters form southwest of Delaware. Their children and children's children attended public school: most of them graduated from Berlin High School, and many graduated with honor. They served the community well: on our school boards, public office, booster clubs, fire department and 4-H club as advisors. They attended our church dinner, bazaars, and ice cream socials. Their lives contributed to our community in lots of ways. My great-grandmother was Clarissa Mc Williams. She came to Berlin Twp. in the early 1800"s. She experienced wolves and Indians. The blockhouse used to stand on what is now a part of Alum Creek Park Camp site. It was where they went in time of danger. The McWilliams' went to West Berlin. My grandmother was Prudence. She was a life long member of it. She once told me that my great grandmother Clarrisa McWilliams had been baptized in Alum Creek in February after the ice had been broken to make a hole it it. They were a hearty bunch. She had 2 brothers, William McIntosh and George McIntosh: they both lived in Illinois. She married William McWilliams. They lived on a farm in the central part of Berlin Twp. William McWilliams fought in the Civil War. He was taken in the Belle Isle Prison. They had to drink the water that was also the drainage for the sewage from the camp. Typhoid fever was rampant. He said later that if it hadn't been for a slave lady brought them soup daily, he and his buddies would have died there. After the war, he and his wife had three children, Stanley, Ed, and my mother, Emma. 8 Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (16) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/0ab4d07165ef3e5cea03b1511e7e700a.jpg ecf1b3d094b1ce5ea78a3374fd333708 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

This driver could not get them to pull together. Uncle Will saw it and went out and talked to the horses to calm them down. Then he took the lines and spoke to them with a kind voice and they pulled the load the rest of the way to the road. Grandpa McWilliams had a brother, Marshall. They called him "the deacon" He wrote poetry once a week for the Delaware paper. One time after Marshall got stung by a swarm of bees, my Grandfather wrote a poem about "The Deacon and the Bees". The paper published it under Marshall's name. For a while, the two brothers didn't talk to each other. The Irish folks were thrifty, hard working, shrewd livestock buyers, and not above getting even with someone who had outsmarted them. This was typical of the second and third generation especially among relatives. One time, my grandfather played euchre with neighbor, Mase Smith, and placed him in front of a large mirror so he could see his cards. Of course, my grandfather could see each card in Mase's hand and easily won. His neighbor wasn't told until later. My Grandfather married again after after Adaline died. He married Elizabeth Finch Buckingham. She had a daughter Grace Buckingham. She was an excellent stepmother and grandmother. She loved her garden. There she grew castor oil bean plants to help keep the moles out and planted potatoes from the seed that grew on the top. She also taught us how to make firecrackers and sparklers for the Fourth of July. The firecrackers were made by cutting a long strip of paper 2 or 3 inches wide and folding in a 3 sided triangle making a container that we could put gunpowder in. This was done after the first fold. Also a fuse was added. We used homemade cord, which was made by dipping wet cord in the gunpowder to make the fuse. She also showed us how to make a Jacob's ladder. It was made by rolling newspaper into a roll about as large as your finger, then cutting it lengthways for about 1 1/2 inches in the center then crosswise most of the way through and pulling it out. The more sheets used the longer the ladder could be. She made other paper toys. One was made simply by rolling paper up and drawing it out. When placed on the finger it would extend one or two feet or more. The more fingers we place them on, the more fun we had. 9 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/b6e27ca347df505d9466f7525d57e176.jpg f66d47c938dcaceaa5654b7c79a35417 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Her candy and cakes were delicious. She also made little faces which were sometimes worn as watch fobs. When Grandma Griffith kept one of us for dinner and she didn't peel potatoes, she would boil them. She made them special for us by calling them "Potatoes with their jackets on." After lunch when it was time for a nap, she said, "Let us both lie down and whoever goes to sleep first tell the other." My Grandmother must have liked to pick berries. Back in the East Woods the bushes were loaded with unusually large plump blackberries. She would carry a 30 inch forked stick with the short branch turned back toward her. It looked like a broken wishbone. She could us it to draw the berries toward her for faster picking. She would carry back with her two tin pails and fill them both in a short time. My mother often met her there and also us boys and Dad. There were plenty of berries for all. In the spring and summer, flowers were abundant. Just over the fence in Charlie Smith's woods, there were ferns four or five feet tall. They seemed to thrive along with the mosquitoes in the swamp. The ferns grew near the moss covered, decaying logs and stumps just at the edge of the water, where they were covered by leaves and shaded by the growing trees. Hoot owls could be heard most anytime. We often saw raccoon tracks along the rail fence. One time "Pete" set a figure four box trap and caught a small raccoon there. Sometimes Grandpa Griffith went down near Lancaster and purchased some cattle. The next day, I've heard Dad tell, they drove them home. It was over 45 miles and it made a full day's work. Uncle Allwood also helped drive them home. My ancestors, thus had may activities; no two days were the same. they worked close to nature. 10 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/20e17c7cc5c57d73c69314c5b7598cf3.jpg ff2819e4b136b3de7f970c41e71f4cc5 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

What would the Irish man do without the aid Of a plug of tobacco and an old knife blade, For eating an apple or sticking a pig, Or trimming his nails while dancing a jig. My, Oh, My, how the Irish could dance! He danced with all the children, cousins, and aunts. Like no other creature on earth, he could prance. You would think sometimes he might lose his pants. The Irish liked to play a practical joke Especially upon their own kinfolk. They were as sharp as the leaves on the old pin oak. Sometimes they would go quickly to elope. In the family of kids there were many. Seldom could you find one without any. With seldom a bachelor who didn't marry, Unless his frow was quite contrary. And so at this reunion they came, you see, To smile a few times and discuss the family tree.

Sliding down hill on a homemade sled. Going over the bank and into the creek bed. Cooking potatoes, wild onions and meat, Over an open fire that provided the heat, Calling it the best, we thought it was so good. Bragging about it, but, our mother understood. On Sunday School teacher, taught us biblical surprises. As we took part in the children's exercises. Turning the freezer for homemade ice cream. Eating so much and nearly bursting a seam. Pitching horseshoes with my brother and Dad. They made so many ringers, my score looked bad. Taking a picture of Eleanor on a rock. Hurrying to do it while the wind blew her smock.

"The History of the Cheshire Methodist Church Through the Eyes and Ears of a Boy" At the beginning of the Twentieth century, the Cheshire Methodist Church reflected much of the rural life at that time, its mode of transportation, hard work, life's little comforts, and a reminder that the Civil War was not very far in the past. The church was one place where the little communities built around each one or two room school and had overlapped. It was an expanding interest for the young folks. Various families from other districts met. Romance kindled, talent exchanged, and leadership grew. Remembered are the horses and buggies, surreys, bobsleds, sleighs with bells, and the hitching racks. In the winter, they placed blankets on the horses and the people had carriage robes and soapstones. Also, heavy coats, toboggans, mittens, muffs, and mufflers were worn. In the summer, we saw barefoot boys, girls with pigtails and hair ribbons, men in shirt sleeves, and ladies with palm leaf fans. In the church were two heating stoves, one on each side. The floors and some round stools were covered with carpeting to match. It was furnished with wooden pew and benches. The pulpit was on a raised platform large enough for the organ and choir. On the windows were inside shutters. Wall brackets held oil lamps. Later, they were replaced by lights that were hung from the ceiling. Not faraway were numerous other churches. A Baptist Church was also in Cheshire. To the north was the Pee Wee Church. To the east, in Berkshire Township was the Berkshire Methodist and at Rome Corners a Free Will Baptist Church. In Berlin Township, there were also two Presbyterian Churches and one Evangelical United Brethren. Many of the people from the entire area visited the local churches when they held protracted meetings, revivals, song services, and children's programs. In addition to the regular ministers, Rev. L. E. Rush from Grace Methodist Church and a talented lay minister, Mr. Charles Mason, of Delaware were speakers. 13 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/a4ee7f68283758825d1f803e97369d3e.jpg 75d81311aff66deb95e1ae092ac3439c Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (22) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 14 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road One of the largest continuing intra-church organizations was the Berlin Township and Semiannual Sunday School Convention. It started before 1900. The 107th was held in November, 1949. Variously selected teachers taught the lessons, and ideas were exchanged. Part of the time, outside speakers gave the sermon. Usually the host church was filled to overflowing. The last few of the conventions were held at the Berlin School. The Cheshire Church was fortunate in being near Ohio Wesleyan University and Otterbein College. Our ministers were usually O. W. U. students . Many rode the C. D. & M. electric train from Delaware and walked the five miles east to Cheshire. Some rode bicycles. Each Sunday, they were invited to someone's home at noon for dinner. If no one else asked them, they could always go to the Nettletons. They were usually served chicken. On one occasion, the minister's wife asked a five year old boy, "Did you see the horses at the Pumpkin Show?" And the boy replied, "Yes, and the mares were there, too." All were quiet for a few minutes. The boy's father often spoke of his team of mares. Some of the ministers whose names were most often recalled in those years were Ralph Diffendorfer, S. W. Corcoran, F. A. Gilmore, C. A. Riggs, R. R. Roby, and our local E. B. Hanna. Several of these men rose to fame in the Methodist Church. Later, Rev. C. A. Riggs came back to Cheshire with his family as a full time minister. The salary was low. But, he was given a house to live in and a donation was arranged. The congregation brought garden produce, canned goods, and bedding. Also, John Bockoven brought a pig in a crate, which was placed in the front part of the church. Frank Boston gave the corn to feed it. Later, it turned out that the minister's house was almost across the street from a traveling medicine show. His need was evident. The entertainment was typical for that business and the bottles of medicine contained alcohol. Many young folks were in the crowd. Many of the members of the church at that time were only one or two generations from those who crossed the ocean and settled in this part of America. They enjoyed singing the religious songs their parents brought with them, like "Rock of Ages," "We Have An Anchor", "Jesus Savior Pilot Me," "Let the Lower Lights Be Burning," "Beulah Land," and "Yes, We will Gather at the River." 14 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/013eccbd65fb80024e29ff061b986394.jpg 995f57affc931014ae39592f20682f20 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (23) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 15 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road The long, hard days of physical work were relieved by song. Many of the songs pertained to their work, like "Work for the Night is Coming," "Bringing in the Sheaves," "Sowing in the Morning," and "Now the Day is Over." Memories of the Civil War were recalled as they sang "Onward Christian Soldiers," "Tenting Tonight," and "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." The call to accept Christian teachings was expressed by these songs: "Jesus Is Calling," "Stand up For Jesus," "Almost Persuaded," "Just As I Am," "Abide with Me," "Come Thou Almighty King," and "Yield Not to Temptation." Strong ties to their faith were confirmed as they sang "Blessed Assurance," "How Firm Is Thy Foundation," "Jesus Lover of My Soul," "What a Friend We Have in Jesus," "Blessed Be the Tie That Binds," "Wonderful Word of Life," "Jesus keep Me Near The Cross," and God Be with You Till We Meet Again." The joy of singing lifted their spirits when they sang songs like "The Lily Of The Valley, "In The Sweet By and By," and "Joy To The World." But, for this Methodist group, the singing of the "The Church in the Wildwood," and by changing the words in the chorus from "The little brown church in the vale" to "the little white church on the the hill," had a very special appeal. Everyone seemed to sing with the utmost enthusiasm. We were fortunate in that many people in our community had musical training. Many took their music lessons in Delaware and O.W.U. or of music teachers in our own neighborhood. Mattie Paterson had studied in New York City. She sang in the church choir and with her sister, Nellie Garey. Ralph Roush was an accomplished whistler. He received his training from a professional in Newark, Ohio. We often heard him in our church. He was Mrs. Roush's grandson. Instrumental music was popular in our church before 1920. Remembered is the Lewis Lackey Family. The young folks had a nice group. Glenn played the trombone, Elmer the clarinet, and Ada the piano and organ. Sometimes, Ethel Plunkett played the cornet and Winford Griffith played his violin. Later, Birdie and Irma Lackey each played violins. Children were always encouraged to perform and develop their talents. On the Christmas program, they usually sang, recited and depicted the story of Christ's birth. Of course, the church had a service and Santa Claus arrived with treats. Sometimes he came in a bobsled or sleigh. The horses wore full sets of bells. 15 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/dafd76112598af7a98bd165bf4591af5.jpg c2b6227f92efae2483bbae1a2ecf853a Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

They looked nice in their new clothes or recent hand-me-downs. The ladies wore something new, even if it was only a new flower in an old hat. It was spring. The vestibule of the church contained many baskets of eggs given by the church members. They were to be sold and the proceeds would go to the mission. Children's day exercises were held in June. School was out. At times there were thirty or more children, from little tots through eighth grades, out to practice. The ladies in charge must have had the patience of Job. After the large boys had practiced, they would head for Alum Creek to a place about 100 yards below the Cheshire bridge to swim. Later, some of the girls were sent to the bridge to call us to come back to the church. That was a signal to cover ourselves with mud and make one more quick slide down the wet creek bank into the water, then find our clothes. Sometimes, the cows in the creek pasture would chew them and carry them off. Youth were always encouraged. Young music students were used in the services. Younger folks often served as teachers. With the encouragement of Mrs. Roush, I became Sunday School Superintendent for one year at the age of fourteen. Being a Civil War widow, Mrs. Roush had noticed me when I spoke the Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, at the old Cheshire Baptist Church, during a memorial service when I was ten years old. Early financial struggles of the church cannot be told without giving credit to the women of the Ladies Aid Society for their efforts and hard work. At that time we had no kitchen in the church, although we often held box socials there. Most of the earlier meetings were held at the members' homes. The parlor rooms were opened, the long dining table was used, and they served anyone who would come to eat. Later for several years, they cooked meals, once or twice a month, for the public over the general store and ice house. After the Berlin School was built, they and the K. of P. Lodge used the old two-room Cheshire School building. There they served meals, quilted, tied comforts, sewed clothing for children, and made many small articles. Most of the meals were sold for 25 cents. Many were sold for less or given away. Warm clothing went to it was needed. 16 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/4e3d84ae0c04a259523f1b0d0b919d44.jpg 9b4bdeca75bddaf7ea7a238c3df16ad5 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

About 1920, several new families moved here and became members of our church. They included the Jesse Bonner and William Reeder families. The ladies did their part in other activities. Ice cream socials were held at various homes. Japanese lanterns lighted the lawns. Large pieces of two and three layer cakes were served with generous amounts of ice cream dipped from freezers that were up to 5 or 6 gallons in size. Once a year a Sunday School picnic was enjoyed. The ladies provided well-filled baskets. Activities were planned for everyone. Many took part in the ball games, horseshoes, sack races, three legged races or tug or war. In the early part of the 20th century, on the 30th of May, work stopped. Some of the farmers even neglected their corn planting! Not because it was a national holiday, but because it was time to remember the Civil War Soldiers, who had given their best for their country. Services were held in one of our local churches. Large crowds attended. The old soldiers, their wives, and many Civil War widows were there. After an impressive service, they marched in uniform, to the cemetery with a large flag and to the beat of the drum. On the way, they passed homes decorated with flags and bunting. At the cemetery, the soldiers' graves were decorated with flags and bouquets. Taps were sounded and a large flag was raised. Many of the men served as the church trustees in their time. Each summer, someone would bring a horse drawn mower and several men their scythes. The church yard was soon cleaned up. Later they hauled coal from Gregory Station and filled the coal. John Tipton re-roofed the church at one time. Frank Nettleton often took care of the small repairs. 17 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/19dac54b86034462979aa81e2de3fce8.jpg 330eeb59c2dcba25594d8bae694e4f47 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Hannas, and the Goodmans, the Jerome Sloughs and later Guy Goodings and Weyland Ryants, Richard Griffiths and later, Winford Bockovens, William Rosses, Herman Rodefels, Wright Smiths and Frank Nettleton. Several other folks came about the year 1920. They were Jesse Boners, William Reeders and Lewis Boyds. Many other people attended the Cheshire Methodist Church either regularly or occasionally. All of them were willing to help do what they could when the need was there. Above all, the Cheshire Methodist Church, in the early 1900's served the community well, not only for the active members, but for the whole neighborhood. It was a center for worship, moral standards, progress, entertainment, and served as a social center. For those not in church, the sound of the church bell caused many to ponder, and for a moment to turn their thoughts toward the church. The toll of the bell brought a thought of respect for someone who had passed away. And, with the persistent peal in 1918 at the end or the "War to end all wars," our hearts swelled with pride of our country, our heritage, our boys who served, and the God that watches over us. "BARE" - FOOT NOTES (Uncensored) A favorite song of our ministers shortly after 1920, who taught school full-time, and served our church as well, was "Take Time to Be Holy." Another of our ministers who was overweight had "Love Lifted Me" as his favorite. After the ladies had tied a new comfort for one minister, he soon gave a sermon titled "The Comforter Has Come." Idella Lackey's often used advice to her class of young folks was "Let your conscience be your guide, but don't let it become seared over." Mrs. Frances Roush was often called on for prayer. At some time in each prayer she would ask for God to "Forgive our sins of omission as well as co-mission."

Willie's call called for the dancers, And Carl played the fiddle. "Turkey in the Straw" and "Hey, Diddle, Diddle". The more they would do, the better they would feel, They would swing them on the corner "The Old Log Cabin" and "The Virginia Reel". Whenever those folks did a special number, Only the babies on a bed would slumber. The country dances were a family affair, The old and the young would often pair. Most of the neighbors together it would bring. To dance, play cards, chat, and to sing. But when Willie and Matoka had the floor, To schottische or waltz and maybe more, They did it gracefully with rhythm and poise. All this to the amazement of the girls and boys. Often they took out one of them each, The boys and girls, they wanted to teach, Often they went to O.S.U. To teach the students how to dance, too, In the country homes and big ballrooms, They called and danced to many tunes.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (29) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 21 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road Often folks gathered for a dance, sometimes on quick notice. The carpet would be taken up, double doors were opened up and the music would start. Usually the violin and the organ were played and sometimes the banjo. Work clothes or dressed up, it made no difference. Coffee and food was served. The dancers stayed until late. Rich or poor, it was all the same. Jay Smith often played the violin. Willard Shank was the caller. Work was exchanged in the fall or winter. Hogs were killed and dressed. I have seen as many as seven butchered at a time. The men held them and one man stuck them in the throat with a long slim knife. Sometimes the hog would get up and run around for a while. Grandpa had a very large kettle, less then 2 feet deep but nearly 7 feet across. It was filled with water, ashes were put in, and a fire started under it before daylight. Two hogs could be put in it at a time. When the hair began to loosen, they were pulled out on a large wooden platform and scraped. They used knives and scrapers. Horse currycombs were used for scrapers. White or red hogs cleaned the best. Some folks liked to skin them. After the hogs had the bristles removed, they were hung up on something like a single tree. It was a stick of hardwood about 2 ft. long that was sharpened on both ends and hung in the middle at about the height of a man's head. The pig's rear leg was cut so that the tendon just above the foot was exposed. The hog was lifted up and the stick was shoved between each leg. Next the head was cut off and the hog's stomach opened up and the insides all removed. The liver, heart, and sometimes kidneys were saved. The head was opened up and the tongue, brains, and jowls were also saved. After the remaining carcass was well cooled, it was out or sawed from tail to neck and taken down and hung overnight in a safe place. The next day, they were taken down and cut up. The hams and shoulders were cut off and the lower shanks were cut in 2 or 3 inch lengths and placed in large earthen jars which were then taken to the cellar. A strong brine of salt and water was poured over them and a plate placed over them and weighted down with a rock so they would sink in the brine. The pig's feet were also placed in it. Next the ribs were cut off from the back and into the length desired. The tenderloin was striped out and the back bone was cut into pork chops. All of the fat was cut up into small pieces for lard. 21 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/1b4bba45b7911cf22af1bf14d2b9afd7.jpg 5edd30bafeb30bf1092dd49f512f8c9a Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (30) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 22 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road Bacon was cut off and made ready along with the hams, shoulders, and tenderloins (often called Canadian bacon) to be placed in the smokehouse. Hickory or green apple wood was allowed to smolder in the smoke house for days. The fat that had been cut up was put into a large iron or copper kettle. Early in the morning, a hot fire was placed under the kettle which was hung from a large hook and chain. The cooking grease had to be stirred continually. At last the hot grease separated from the cracklings. Most of which came to the top. They were made from the lean parts as well as the hide. They were then dipped out and placed into a lard press with a cloth tied on the spout for straining the grease. The sausage press was usually owned by several neighbors. It held about 2 gallons. A lid was on the bottom of a screw that was lowered into the press by the use of a crank. After the lard ran out into a mental container that often held 3 to 5 gallons, the cracklings were taken out and dumped into a large dish pan. The cracklings were eaten or fed to animals. The same press was used for stuffing sausage. The meat for sausage was made from mostly lean scraps. It was work to stuff the sausage meat into the top of the sausage grinder and turn the long crank until it came out of the small hole and dropped into a pan. The casing that it was pressed into was made from the small intestines. They were washed, cleaned, turned inside out and cleaned and scraped some more. The ground pork was seasoned with salt, black pepper, saltpeter, sage, and other spices. Then it was thoroughly mixed in a large pan or tub. The lard press was then used. The ground seasoned pork was used to fill it. The cleaned intestines were strung on a metal spout, fitted in place on the lowered front side of the press. The plunger was lowered and the round sausage fed out into a tub. For convenience, the press had been bolted onto a portable bench. The sausage, as well as other parts, was canned. Often they used tin cans. The meat was fried and hot lard was poured over the top. After it was packed in, the sealing was heated and used to seal the lid in place. Sometimes jars were used for steak or pork chops as well as sausage. They also were covered with lard, so that a few pieces at a time could be used. 22 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/641653870e10c91f33bce5a256f207ee.jpg 3c76bf44e125783f15b67ca33016b12d Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

No wonder the farmers were ready for hours of hard work Not as much beef was used then. Quarters were often sold or traded. The beef was usually done in the winter when it would keep longer. The hide was used for leather or robes. I slept under a robe once. It was heavy, but warm. A large amount of the beef was canned. I can remember some pieces of it hung above the kitchen range. It had been well salted. It become very dry and hard to cut off and chew. A bite of it would give you energy for a long time. Some folks used a lot of mutton. The lambs were beheaded, quickly hung up and washed with plenty of water. This was necessary to give it its best flavor. The pelts were used under saddles, on implement seats, and for jackets or coats. Work was often exchanged. The most involved exchange was for the harvesting of crops. Threshing was the most involved. Two or three men came with the outfit; one on the steam engine, another on the separator, and occasionally one for the water wagon. They all were mechanics. The engineer had to see that fire was going. He had to start it an hour or more ahead of time. Often the fire was banked at night by covering it with ashes. The steam that was not used for power was sent through the smoke stack. This increased the draft and made the fire burn harder. Of course, it was used for the whistle. This was the fun part of threshing. When the dew was off, the whistle was blown when they were ready to call the neighbors in. It was also used as a signal for someone to bring in a part of a load of grain to keep the separator going. At noon, the whistle called the men in from the field. At night, it announced supper or quitting time. later while there was a little steam left, the boys would pull the cord on the whistle just for fun. I remember when our daughter was very small, Lou Girberd would lift her up so she could blow it. It was loud enough so it could be heard several miles away. At noon, the horses were unhitched, watered, and fed. A tub of water had been set in the sun to warm, towels were hung nearby and soap provided so the men could wash up. Then the men went in to dinner. There was plenty to eat including large slices of bread, two kinds of meat, potatoes and gravy and other vegetables, coffee and lemonade to drink. For dessert, they had two kinds of pie, cake, fruit or pudding. 23 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/b54bbeccdc3f49ca5f9d567551d58d3d.jpg 5f53d16a039888adc536191b199988f1 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Soon it was time to get ready for supper. Often the children and women had to wait until the men were through eating before they could eat. The men sat in the shade to rest. The first ones out were the ones who hitched up the horses. During the heat of the day, the kids carried jugs of cold water or lemonade to the field for the men to drink. In return, the kids were treated to ride on the wagons. The man on the separator had to be alert. He seemed to carry a large oil can most of the time. When a belt would break, he would fix it. The belts were fixed by lacing with leather thongs. The larger outfits could be fed from a wagon on both sides by two men on each wagon. When the above was done, the grain came out much faster. When the grain was good, it took two men at the sacker to catch it and set it back. Then two or three men hauled it away to the drain bins. There the kids enjoyed sliding it around and leveling it off. Some farmers had it carried up a ladder or steps up to the next floor. This was hard work, but it made it convenient when they wanted to use it. The sacks held two bushel each. They were long cotton ones. Each farmer had some, but others were borrowed from the neighbors or the elevator. It was a lot of work to make hay. It had to be cut, raked, and bunched. Sometimes, it had to be turned again and allowed to dry. One man stayed on the wagon and one man could load load from each side. Sometimes, a kid drove the horses, but some teams moved ahead and stopped on command. Later when a hay loader was used, they would slowly walk down the row. One man we knew loaded nine loads of hay in one afternoon, while his two boys unloaded them. Most of the firewood was cut up with the axe or crosscut saw. It was cut in the woods into convenient lengths and brought near the house or sugar camp and placed in a pile. Next it was cut into short lengths to burn in the stove. It took two or three men to accomplish this. A neighbor had a portable buzz saw. It was powered by a large one cylinder gas motor with very large balance wheels. It was cooled by an aerator as the water ran over the outside of a coil. The saw was belt driven and very effective. 24 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/e046e2ef6b5c7412be9967738b29d023.jpg 709fafd4f66496d2faff204809f33f52 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

She could throw like a boy. This fact was known. And playing crack-the-whip, she broke her collar bone. Poems and birds and flowers were her joys, Training her to be a mother of boys. She married a man who had two brothers; And there were others Who drank the coffee from her stove, Or sat at the table with the threshing drove, She could milk the cow and feed the calf, Bright-eyes of Midget or one called, Giraffe, Or hitch up a horse like the real McCoys, While waiting to be a mother of boys. She was a mother of boys, Three of her own and the neighbor boys, Who came together, so they could play, In someone's yard without their dismay, She tolerated their insects, fish, and frogs, Pet lambs, pet pigs, and great big dogs. And helped them with their homemade toys, While living the life of a mother of boys. Gone from us now, is this mother of boys. To greet her again, our faith employs. But in memories now, we can see her again. And I wish I could with a boyish grin, Slip up behind and sort of squeeze her, As she fixes the pudding for the ice cream freezer. The thoughts of these pleasures, everyone enjoys, While she is waiting for us, this mother of boys.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (35) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 27 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road Quote: "A dog is a man's best friend." We kept Great Danes for over 30 years. We liked them very much and used them with out turkeys. The black ones were our preference. We think it was because as show dogs they were not chosen because of color. As a result, more emphasis was placed on smartness and build. The Dane dogs were originally a cross between the mastiff and a greyhound. They were powerful and strong in the neck and shoulders and also, their legs and jaws. They were about 30 inches tall at the shoulders. The hair was short and smooth. The ears were of medium size and inclined to droop. Often especially for show, the ears were clipped. For use on the farm, it was best if they were not. The clipped ears would gather more dirt and weed seed. Of course, some Danes were smarter than others, and some were lazier. The best ones were smart and alert. Some could run 30 miles per hour. However, they could not turn or dodge quickly. A rabbit could easily get away from them. They could be as strong as an ox or as gentle as a kitten. One time, I saw a large male Dane, Joe, grab a yearling bull by the throat, take him down and hold him until I tied the bull back up. Then I got a pail of water to throw on the dog to get him to let loose of the bull. Another time, when a medium sized police dog came over in our field and around our team and wagon, I saw a Dane pick up this dog and shake it like it was a rat. The other dog went home. One time a small dog ran passed by our yard under a moving tractor. Our large lazy brindle, Mutt, ran out to the edge of the yard and barked. The real small dog came into the yard to threaten our Dane who picked it up in his mouth and held him with both ends sticking out of his mouth, the tail from one side and its head out the other. Our dog looked around as if the say "What will I do with him now? Eleanor hollered, "Drop him, boy". And he let him loose to go back under the tractor. The dog was none the worse for the incident. They are perhaps the best breed of large dogs with small children. Our daughter could play with them, pet them, pound them, or sleep on them, lead them, or pull their tails. She could hitch them to a small wagon so she could ride in it while someone held onto the dog by the collar. 27 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/84f512bfd00dedc38ddf06e87a08ec1c.jpg a017096b06bb6ecf52b17c6385370b15 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (36) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 28 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road One time an older female Dane, Tip, jumped off the wagon and broke her leg. She could not walk. So we drove the car out in the field where she was and carefully picked her up. We decided to take her to the O.S.U. Veterinary Clinic. We put her in the back seat and arranged her on pillows to make her as comfortable as we could and drove her down there. They took her in and set her leg and put splints on it. She seemed to know that we were trying to help her. All of the restraint that we used was that I held a strap loosely around her nose. She whimpered very little. The doctors were amazed. Ordinarily, they did not chase cars, but bicycles were more tempting to them. Some of them were trained to go only as far as our line fence. They loved to ride on the side of the car. We had an old 28 Chevrolet Roadster which we drove to the field with feed and water for the turkeys. Several times our black female, Tip, rode on the front fender. When we were driving through a wheat field and would ride toward a wheat shock and were about there, the driver would turn quickly and throw the dog into the wheat shock. She was not hurt, seemed to enjoy it and was ready to get back on the car or truck again. This same dog could jump 2 fences, 48 inches high and 8 feet apart in one leap. On command, she would jump back and forth one time after another. When driving turkeys or sheep, the dogs would stay behind the flock and work from one side to the other urging them forward. If a turkey tried to turn back a bark would do the work. Those dogs that drove turkeys included Tip, Maggie, Jiggs, Joe, Pat, Mike, Mutt, and Ace. The Danes were very good guard dogs, both for personal and property. Just their appearance would make a person take second thoughts about their actions. As personal body guards, they were excellent. They usually kept between us and other people. Their main way was to crowd against the other person. They seldom growled nor showed their teeth, but used their weight to crowd people away. We tried to train them not to jump on people. If they do it is one of the Danes worst faults. It can be dangerous especially to older people. It should be discouraged from the time, they are pups. If they do knock people down, scold them and press them down hard. If necessary, step on their rear toes until it hurts. this will teach them not to do it. Discourage visitors from playing with them that way. When our daughter was real small for her age and starting to school, she had to have help to get in the bus. The dog, Tip, would not let the driver put her on, so some of us had to go and do it. 28 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/372b3a3ded441f22caa00b0d381ee79a.jpg baf291ca56138e63a89ac7854152d68a Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (37) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 29 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road One time a man who had worked for us for many years stopped, when we weren't home, to pick up a shovel of his from the wood house. Our dog, Joe, met him at the gate and lightly took the man's wrist in his mouth. When the man walked forward, the dog would tighten up his hold and when the man stepped back, he would loosen it. Of course, the man left and came back another day. Just before a holiday, two men stopped in our drive and one got out and came toward the house. Eleanor stepped outside. The man wanted to buy a turkey or two. He had been drinking. We had no more white turkeys to sell, but my folks down the road still had some. He was told to go down. there. Eleanor was alone except our large male dog, Joe. The man's voice grew louder and he stepped forward waving his arms in a threatening way. The dog was in between Eleanor and the man and Joe knocked him down. The man got up and was knocked down again. This time the dog stood over the man. Eleanor pulled Joe off. The man's friend told him that they had better leave and the two left. Another time, a hunter shot one of our turkeys in our breeder flock. Eleanor heard him and yelled. The man was in no hurry to leave, so she took the truck, gun, and dog, Joe, and ordered him off. He said he permission to hunt and refuse to go. He said: "No woman was going to order him around". She made him drop the turkey. He did after she pointed the gun at him. He said she couldn't shoot. She said that if she could shoot a hawk on the wing, with a rifle, she could certainly shoot a man where she aimed. She had a 22 rifle over a 410 shotgun. She threatened to let the dog out, but he said he would shoot it. He was told he had better not or she would shoot him in the legs and let him lay until the sheriff got there. The man decided it was time to leave. She marched him across the field and over the line fence. Nowadays, the law would have been on his side. The dogs could be sent around to head off or turn the flock. I used several commands such as "On around, Boy", "On back", "That's enough", and, "That a boy" with a pat on the back. They responded to kind treatment and a soft voice. It didn't take much scolding or harsh treatment. A choker chain was often used on the Danes, but, when trained a collar worked very well. They could be chained, locked up or let loose. They were good to be kept in the house. Most of the time they laid on the floor. They seldom barked without reason. 29 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/22bd9be6ddbde5aac79ac116e5dee5e5.jpg 06ad624dd9126b4c85079e06e576c3c0 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It was usually the best ones. I think it was because the poisoner wanted to trespass or maybe steal something. One dog, Ace, was fed glass. He had a terrible death. If we had known how he would suffer and that it would take 6 weeks to die, we would have had him put to sleep. His only enjoyment was watching a litter of pups play in the back yard. Whoever gave it to him should have been prosecuted. Another dog was fed hamburger with poison in it. It was during meat rationing. We saw a car stop and do it at the end of our drive. Then the men stopped again in front of the barn and give the dog some more. We thought it had to be poison. As soon as we could, we caught Pat and took her to the backyard. There we gave her all the milk she would drink. Then one of us held her head up and we dropped 24 large cracked turkey eggs down her throat until she could hold no more. She looked up as if to say "Please no more!". It was Sunday afternoon and we were unable to get the veterinarian. Later when we phoned again, he told us that we had done all that could be done. But, we could still get some Ex-Lax and give her several. He also said that if in about 3 hours her eyes turned glossy, she had been poisoned. Sure enough, they did. Soon the hamburger all covered with egg white came through her and she was all right, and assumed her normal routine around the farm. Another black Dane with white feet, who probably the best male we ever had, was also poisoned. Joe died while doing his duty. Eleanor took the truck and went to the field to be with the turkeys overnight. He slept as usual beside the truck on the ground. The next morning, she found him dead, still laying there on the ground. We regard this as our greatest loss. Of course, we missed him in so many ways. After having Danes for so many years you can become homesick for their deep howl or bark. Most of them have been buried on a hill in a pet cemetery and wrapped in a blanket and laid to rest. A few tears were shed. Trees were allowed to grow over them. 30 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/41c1ec1840547fa269f89a33e6316fc3.jpg 701e2de0a7ad9dda37d5fe9f15c67dc2 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Ned Morem. One time , Dad found a bunch of rats. They were under a pile of fence rails. He had no dog of his own, so he called up to his father's place and had them bring their black dog to the telephone and place the receiver to the dog's ear. Dad said, "Come on down, Ted. Let's get some rats!" Ted immediately jumped down and ran down the road a quarter of a mile. They caught a lot of them. Eleanor's folks had a dog that was a good cattle dog. The children liked to go swimming in Big Run. When their younger brother, Phil, would go in the water to swim Ole' Bus would jump in right away and pull him out. Someone else would have to hold the dog so Phil could swim. Just a few years ago , the Buell's Jackie and Dana, each had a market lamb that they were going to show. To do well in the show, the lambs had to have plenty of muscle in their legs. So each hitched their lamb to a skateboard and had the lambs pull them on the road past our house and on up to our neighbors and back home daily. The total distance was about one and half mile. That year, they had championship market lambs at the Delaware County Fair and Ohio State Fair. One year, we had a pet pig who lived in the house. Piggy Wiggy had a box near the kitchen range. When we would let him out, he would run across the kitchen and dining room floors, pitty-de-pat, into the living room. There he would stick his nose under a throw rug and roll it up from one end to the other. He didn't do well when we put him in with the other hogs. We had a tiger cat name Old Tommy who lived to be fourteen years old. He finally got run over with a tractor while he was out in some tall weeds with his girl friend. He could take care of himself even when cornered by a dog. This once happened when we purchased a new full grown Dane, who tried it. Tommy had large feet especially the back ones. When Ace cornered him on a back kitchen step and started to bite him, the cat grabbed him by the upper lips and hung on. That didn't do it, so the next thing Tommy did was bring his back feet, claws extended to the dogs throat. Then the dog let loose. One of our neighbors, Abe Boyd, was using a single row garden cultivator, walking behind it, while it was being pull by a well trained horse. When partway down between the rows, the horse stopped and couldn't be urged to go any further. When Abe finally went in front of the horse, there was his little boy, Paul, asleep on the ground. 33 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/3f861bce6e877908c8debfdba151e5a4.jpg bfbcae5f1bbda326a9cc733d9d8aa249 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (42) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 34 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road When we had turkeys in the field, we changed the pens about once a week to give them new ground and a clean pasture. We also moved their shelters. I left an older hired man to do this. Of course, the turkeys scattered all over the rest of field. He was alone and wore himself out chasing them. He didn't know what to do about it and the dog wouldn't help him. I told him that we we would go back to the field and I would have them in very soon. We went to pen and gave a shrill whistle much like a hawk. The turkeys all rushed to get in the pen and under the shelters. Nature had given them a way of survival. One of the lifting stunts often done at threshing time was to lift a long cotton bag filled with two bushels of wheat to your shoulder while standing in a bushel basket or tub. The trick was to pull the bag up standing it on end until the top was against your stomach and the bottom of the sack as close to your feet as possible. Then lean over and place the hand around the bag and lift it up to the shoulder. Not every man could do it. The boys, in fun, would say they could lift two hundred pound bags . . . when they were empty, that is. John Hughes, a three hundred pound man, could lift a three hundred twenty pound barrel of salt into a spring wagon. He was very stout and experienced in many things. He could also lift a full barrel of cider. One time we were setting a tall metal feed tank with poles and props. We got it halfway up and couldn't get it to go farther. Ralph Armitage and his hired man stopped in and the hired man backed under it and raised up against it. The tank went right up. The man's weight was over four hundred pounds. He came from Circleville. In his family , all were large. His father and brothers each weighed over four hundred pounds. Dad could chin himself more times with his left arm than any of us boys could with two. My father used to do some waterwitching. He and others had a lot of faith in it. He did it at home and also in the neighbor hood. Water was always so important. Most of the wells were good ones, but they were shallow. The veins were so strong that water would come in at the bottom of the well as fast as it was pumped out. The water was good having only a small amount of limestone in it. It was good for washing and excellent for drinking. A small amount of water was found in slate. This was full of iron. Both lime and iron were beneficial to a person's health. 34 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/63cfe5292cf755c4b926e690f3a39e0e.jpg 63b24c7a09a6d63b3b8940430e49381a Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (43) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 35 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road Dad also did a mind reading stunt. This he did for the neighbors and church groups. I have seen magicians do the same. He would take a person by the hand and ask them to think of an object in the room and concentrate on it. He would lay his other hand on it. After that, he would ask them where they wanted it put. He would pick it up and place it where they wanted it, even if they wanted it upside down or in someone's pocket. The audience had to be quiet. I knew of only one person he could not do it with because she couldn't keep her mind on it. Later I began to believe that this mind reading trick and waterwitching had something in common. when Dad waterwitched he usually, found a vein that he said travelled in a certain direction. Usually , it was up and down the natural drainage system. My brother, Clyde, and I also did some waterwitching. One time I had him blindfold me and lead me across and around a spring, where my Granddad had inserted a pipe which kept a watering trough full all of the time. No matter how many times we passed over it or how large a circle we made, the witching stick never turned down. So the next step was to try it on Dad. We did this in our dooryard near our strong well. We blindfolded him and led him around the yard. The forked stick turned down all of the time. So I think that successful waterwitching depended on Dad's concentration and his knowledge of the area. The harder he gripped, after the stick began to turn, the greater the pull to the ground. In both cases, mind reading and waterwitching, it was the subconscious mind that took over and followed through. Dad was able to detect the very small movement in the person that he was holding. One is not able to control his nerves and their effect on the muscles. This is part of nature's survival kit. It springs the body into action even before we actually know it ourselves. There were many tricks that we played on each other. Usually not much harm was done, but often they led to someone's annoyance. I very well remember two tricks that were used at the annual Delaware Pumpkin Show. Someone made a small wooden box with hardware clover on the front. On the top was printed - Two Red Bats - . When you pulled the curtain back you saw two red brick bats. 35 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/6010cead212d0d5a68d1e4a548ff8b00.jpg 049d1274c86c6811d915b5d0842774a0 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

They had a sign out front which read, "A horse with its head on the wrong end." When you opened the door partway and looked into the interior, sure enough there was a large work horse with its head on the wrong end. The horse was tied backward in the stall. One time when Sunbury was having a celebration, Ralph Gooding, Don "Pete", and I went there in Ralph's Model T roadster. Parking spaces were hard to find. We drove most of the way around the square, then we found a good parking place and a began to slow up. Just then, a woman who was anxious to park also, pulled around and stopped just in front of us and started to back up. We had to back up for her so she could park. There was not a full sized parking place left. Before she left, we saw that it was just the length of our Ford but not enough to maneuver it into. So the three of picked up the Roadster one end at a time and carried it in. She watched us and was she mad! There wasn't room for her to get out. One Halloween some boys played a trick on R. K. McNamara. They tied a ball of binder twine on his dinner bell. They strung it out away from the building and pulled on it to ring the bell. When he came out, they stopped ringing it. It was dark and he couldn't see where the Halloweeners were. So he would go back in. The act was repeated many times until the boys became tired. Not all Halloween pranks were done by the boys. I have seen two fifty year old men taking down a neighbor's rail fence and putting it up across the road or moving corn shocks. Nowadays that would be too dangerous. It could wreck a car and get someone hurt. So now all kids are going from door-to-door for trick or treat or attending a masquerade party. Our church holds a party for the young people every year. They give prizes for all the odd costumes. Herm Davis used to ride a bull down to Cheshire to pick up their mail. He would tie it across the road and go into the store. While he was in there, some of the men or boys put turpentine under the bull's tail. I heard that he had an unusual ride home. http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/562afa02389aec47fde839721381fb8c.jpg bf8ed1420b6fc2fb79c05ada4d9e1f3a Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (45) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 37 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road When Harry Irwin lived in Cheshire, his sister had a date. When her date came, he tied his horse in the barn. After he went in the house and everything was quiet, Harry got up in the haymow and hit the side of the barn with a board. It sounded like a horse was kicking. So, the young man would come out to see what was wrong. Seeing nothing wrong, he would scold the horse and go back inside. This happened several times and Harry had a lot of fun. My grandfather had a horse fiddle that made quite a noise. It consisted of a piece of wood about five inches in diameter and six inches long. It had deep notches cut into it. This was on an axle and it was turned with a crank. It was mounted on a frame with hickory shingles so that when the crank was turned, the top of it would slip into the notches making a loud clatter. It was used for bellings frequently, along with horns, cowbells, shotguns, tin pans, conch shells, and other noisemakers. Altogether they were quite effective for bringing the new bride and groom out from their bedroom with cigars, candy, peanuts, apples and popcorn. After Eleanor and I were married and had gone to bed, the bellers came. Aside from the usual noise makers, the brought along a large circular saw from a sawmill. They placed up and in under the front porch. This was hit with a large hammer and it made a terrific noise. It vibrated the whole house. Our room was above and a little one side of the porch. Of course we got up and hurried down and gave them treats. This heavy vibrating sound was unusual and everyone will remember it. At the close of the Civil War, my Grandfather McWilliams belonged to an organization called "The Anti- Tin-Pan-Cow-Bellum society." It was not unusual at that time. It opposed many trivial happenings at that time. I suppose they wanted to get home and do some work; to accomplish something more stable and worthwhile, like raising a family and catching up on their farm work. They were glad to get home. The organization was unusual. 37 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/e27df09d05911122c72e308511ad12e1.jpg 18c93c8cdeba00956d76dbec262d9dd2 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (46) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 38 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road Other things we remember are certain basketball games. One of the schools we played was the Bellpoint High School team. It was very good for four years. It was the best in the state for two of those years. They lost only one game out of sixty-six. During the last two years when most of them were juniors and seniors, they had to play the best high school team in Indiana before they lost. As seniors, they won all thirty-two games they played except one with the score of 15-16. In our county, they played college teams. Ohio Wesleyan was on e of their victims. After the county tournament, the whole team was placed on the county's first team. When our school, Berlin, played them, their entire first team didn't dress until the end of the first half. Of course, it was made up of excellent individual players. Bus McMillan was their captain. I have seen him receive the ball just at on side of the basket and then pass it out, much like college players do today. Another player that I remember is one by the name of Macklin. More than once, he stood at the opposite foul line and shot through and over the beams near the rafters and made the basket. I have also seen their other guard hurdle over an opposing player, catch a long pass in the air and proceed down the floor. Another forward, I remember by the name of Moore, was tall and slim. I seem to recall that he could wrap his body around a guard and about reach the basket. The first team members were Harold McMillian, Stanley Moore, Marion Thomas, William Macklin, Paul Freshwater, and Frederick Fox. The team played much like the Waterloo Wonders and the Dayton Strivers. Bus McMillian made the freshman team at O.S.U., but dropped out his first year. The Bellpoint team was highly unusual. Our own Berlin School had an outstanding player. Glennard Buell made 310 points out of the 616 that the whole team made. He later went to Otterbein College and was a top scorer. He made the All Ohio Conference Team one year. When he went to our one room school at Johnnycake, he fell, and broke his right arm. While it was healing, he learned to use his left arm very well. This was probably why he could shoot baskets as well with his left hand as with his right. Around 1919, Berlin had an unusual track team. They won the county title four years straight. The outstanding track man was Marion Hunter. He threw the shot put and discus well. When he threw, the crowd had to back up another 20 feet or so. I think it was some 60 feet or more. He went to the world Olympics on the U.S. Team. Later he became a medical doctor and practiced in Canada. 38 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/32a7d6765dff5718f4760610224bb7b4.jpg 8115a75743094e84a055280aaea45e31 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (47) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 39 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road Now I'll tell about trees. I can remember a few virgin timber trees. The hardwoods were oak of many kinds, ash, hickory, maple, elm, beech, sycamore, chestnut, hackberry, and others. My granddad cut a very large white oak once. It was six and a half feet in diameter at the base. The log was about sixty feet long. The log was shipped to England for the ship building industry. I understand the lumber was used for ships' keels. It must have taken many horses and great skill to take it to Galena and place on a railroad car. I remember well the large stump and I helped blast it out. It was too unusual. In my lifetime, one of our neighbors, the Buells, had a large elm tree. It survived the Dutch Elm disease that had killed most of the other elms around. It may have been because for several generations Buell's whitewashed it up its trunk as high as they could reach each year. I guess we should have done the same. We have a large ash tree that is about four feet in diameter. Some experts say that it is over three hundred years old. A heavy wind storm hit and blew two large limbs off of it. The largest limb was about 29 inches in diameter. The tree still survived and it looks good. The sycamore usually grows very large. They thrive along a stream. It is white and sheds some of its bark when it is seasoned, it becomes very light. Lumber from it becomes quite high priced and will quickly rot out-of-doors. It makes excellent dividing gates for sheep, but must be used indoors. Once we cut a large log from one and pulled it up a steep hill with a rubber tired F-30 tractor. Although the tractor was heavy, someone had to stand on the front end of it to keep the front end from leaving the ground. The log was that heavy! We have been told that Johnny Appleseed often sought shelter in a certain hollow sycamore tree which was over 13 feet in diameter. This was indeed unusual. I have been told that in northwestern Ohio there is a large apple tree. The trunk is over eight and a half feet in diameter. It must have been very old. It must have been there before Johnny Appleseed's time. A picture of the stump is available. 39 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/575243df59595e0ffe7ffcd807237df4.jpg 7c259d60d2e39118e8958d95192fd3f8 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (48) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 40 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road When Eleanor and I purchased our farm, it had nine acres of apple trees on it. We properly sprayed and pruned it. It produced and still produces nice fruit, mostly red and yellow delicious. We picked them and hauled them 20 miles into Columbus. A wholesaler gave us twenty-five cents per bushel for them. It was a hard time to sell apples and so many orchards were soon cut down. This was very unusual. One year, we suffered a very heavy loss on our turkeys and the price was low, although we had worked very hard. That fall at holiday time, we dressed and sold turkeys 60 hours out of 66. We still lost seventy-five cents on every turkey we grew. it was a heartbreaking experience. We were about to lose our farm. At that time, our good friend, Mabel Scherm, and her friend, Mrs. Nutter who stayed with her brought us soup or something warm to eat each day. They were very thoughtful and kind. They drove about 20 miles to get here. Later in her will, Mabel left Eleanor about $9000, including some stock, which helped to save our farm. This gift w as not expected, however, she was Eleanor's fifth cousin. We had delivered eggs to her for years and had helped her in many other ways. She had grown up with Eleanor's Dad. They had been good friends, but she hadn't seen him for many years. At one time, we had been hauling around older ladies. Once when just before Memorial Day, Eleanor had taken Mrs. Thomas to the graveyard to help her take flowers to her husband John's grave and water them she went to the pump to get some water and saw that Mrs. Scherm was there. Mabel too had came to decorate her husband's grave. Both Mable and Eleanor knew the other looked familiar, but didn't immediately recognize the other. Then all at once Mabel said "You are Fred Shade's daughter. You have to be Eleanor. You would be doing things for other people." This is the way way that they met. Later we found out that she also did many things for others. She had raised two girls who needed a home even though she had no children of her own. This , too, was unusual, but we do believe that good deeds for others will return in some form to the original giver. Here is another example. An old man named Charlie who was badly crippled up with arthritis loved to come to the "egg house", while Eleanor was cleaning eggs there. He would sit in a rocking chair and visit maybe an hour at a time. He seemed to enjoy it there. 40 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/b5bfd883741f84a8f91e9323dc147254.jpg 866e6fb3784dc6c10b1e1ab64ca5b0cc Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

He lived with his sister. we furnished the corn for them to give to the very tame squirrels. His sister's name was Mrs. Scott. Mr. Scott was the State Fire Marshal. They had lived in Columbus. Mr. Scott and another man who was a home builder each built a house in the woods on a hill near Alum Creek. They traded work helping each other. They were able to build the houses just as they wanted. Both wished to live in them. The Scott house was a large one floor plan. The living room and dining area was 30 by 22 feet, all wrapping around a fireplace in the center. This was in addition to the kitchen which was over 10' by 12' with a laundry area to one side. The kitchen was lined with beautiful cabinets and counter tops. It was efficient. All of this had cross ventilation from windows on three sides and metal windows with marble sills. Down the hall there was first the master bedroom and full bath. The bedroom was 17' by 14' with two closets in one end. One of the closets them was 5' by 7' which Mrs. Scott used for sewing. The second bedroom was on down the hall. It was 11' by 14' and it had a shower stall and another sliding door closet. All together with garage and workshop and a boat storage, the house was 30' by 75' with about 2 feet of roof overhang. It took 33 cubic yards of carpet to cover the large room and hall. When the alum Creek Reservoir was constructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, their house was too close to the new lake area. So the government paid them for it, and the house had to be moved. The former owners could move it or sell it to someone. It had to be moved. The former owner's could buy it back for a modest price. The Scott's bought it back for $1000. Mr. Scott died before that and they left no children. Because we were local friends of Mrs. Scott and her brother, we had first chance. We offered her $1500 for it and bought it. Because we gave Charley the corn for the squirrels and took time to talk to him, may have been the reason we got the house. We are still reaping the rewards of our friendship with Mabel and Charley. Eleanor receives regular dividends from Mabel's stock, and we placed the house across the road from ours. We rented the house for 11 years to meet the requirements of the I.R.S., which saved us $3500 in taxes. By far, our greatest benefit is that within five months after I had a very severe heart attack and had spent 24 days in the hospital, our daughter, Virginia, and part of her family moved from over 130 miles away to live in the Scott house just across the road from us. This solved a big problem for us. 41 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/2ff68cf8e2ff66b97deb1c9f898746bd.jpg f118256582084732e88384f289d9c519 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The reason that we built the pond Was for activities of which we were fond, Like fishing, swimming or boating and such All of these sports we liked very much. Also, skating, or picnicking, or just for fun As years go by, it has just started "by gum". It was 90 by 135 feet and it t'was Fed by a spring But, we still had to bring Many loads of sand and gravel, tons of each, That we used to make our beach. Also,on the bottom so fish could nest And for bathing, which we liked best! We built a fireplace made of brick And dug large holes so we could stick Locus posts in the ground. Made from old turkey shelters and scraps that we found The shelters, we raised up until the front of each Was high enough so they would reach The top of the poles and put into place So when finished they would face The pond. Posts were put up under the rear At this stage completion was near. More roofing was nailed to the back Close together so there would be no crack To keep out the wind and the rain So in comfort we could remain. We added a cupboard so we could store Plates and cups and also more Things we might need for a snack Or a picnic. Not much we would lack Under one roof were tables and chairs And also a box full of plastic wares. The roof was extended and gravel placed on the floor. So now there was room for 30 or more With dutch oven, fireplace, and charcoal grill Also, with a place to hang the copper kettle, It was our fault if we didn't get our fill. 43 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/2ed7df102c5736ba5cb8850984aa5b21.jpg 96f76837e16ea797ba2baa7f5aa23e62 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

With help from the family with the fire and the sauce It was hard to tell who was boss. But when done the chickens were just right And all of us enjoyed every bite. Each summer once every year The Idella Class came as the evening grew near. They were 70 or 80 or 90 year old folks. And, to get them to come no one had to coax. They came in their cars and parked near the pond With well filled baskets at the time of the meeting. They offered a greeting. They opened their baskets, then took a chair Waiting for others to arrive there. Some fed the fish or just strolled about Or told fish stories for a laugh or a shout. Some watched the grill or "chewed the fat" While others would do this or that. When it appeared that all were there. Their heads were bowed while offered was a prayer. Next all would line up, their plates to fill From the overflowing take and meat from the grill And find a seat, bench or else a chair While other would go outside in the fresh air. When all were eating, they were quite still, Until they took their plates for a refill. What they wanted next, they had to decide And talk it over with someone by their side. About this time, they wanted another cup. Some helped others so they needn't get up. Now it was time to talk and the folk Would tell stories or else a joke. Next all who were able Would get up and clear the table. Except the men who would just talk At doing women's work, they would balk. They would take home something different to eat So that the men would enjoy a treat. For them to stop talking was too bad But, a business meeting was to be had. Someone would lead devotions at that time. They would read a story and a rhyme, Read a scripture and offer prayer And turn it over to the hosts, then and there. 44 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/63b8238fe03f9595d12a2285a4c46718.jpg 49e7775d56fc83f66216dd0ebc7edfa1 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Some went canoeing on the pond Or fed the fish bread crumbs, of which they were fond. Now it was time to go home 'Cause some were tired to the bone, To the hosts they said, "Good bye" And they would see us, again , by-and-by. illustration of girl and boy at the pond 45 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/d7bf97c15bb7b1e76e485fad397e740c.jpg 8ae47ed645cd57bb42605670aeac9331 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (54) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 46 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road Quote: "All people need a time and a place to relax." No pond is complete without people around who are able to see and enjoy it. They can use it for all of the activities mentioned in the preceding poem, but the greatest benefit is from the therapy that it has to offer. Many things contribute to this. For relaxation of the body and mind, the overall picture must contain peace and quietness with pleasant surroundings. We think that it is the clean cool, slightly rippling water, bordered by sand, stone, dock, diving boards, and ladders, together with the canoe, and shelter house, also the green grass that provide this, (Yes, a few weeds, too!) Trees, both evergreens and the kind that leaf out, offer shade to rest in and play their role for obtaining relaxation. When the house next to the pond was moved there, the movers placed the house on 90 ft. steel beams. They had to bring it across 2 deep ravines. One was on the highway. When they went across the one on the road, both ends of the steel touched the roadway at the same time. Some of us had to push a light pole out of the way so the roof could pass. The pole had some dirt removed from its base beforehand. The house was placed as previously mentioned, but left high up, still on the beams. A contractor was asked to place a foundation the house. The movers said that they would charge us more if we didn't leave a 3 1/2 ft. crawl space under the house. Now, we are glad we did. Well,the contractors didn't come and didn't come , so we decided to do something ourselves. So we purchased a new transit and level and long planks for the footer. The crawl space was mostly dug out before the house was moved over it. We poured the footers over 16 inches wide so that it would be plenty wide for 12 inch block. We laid enough of these so they would come to the top of the ground so that if we should ever want to face the house with brick or stone, we would have a ledge to put them on. We had very little experience at laying cement block. Our son-in-law, Dick had taken surveying in college and I had spent one summer helping build concrete bridges for the county. The rest or the crew consisted of my daughter, "Ginny", my three grandchildren, Rick, John, and six year old, Beth. It was Beth's job to smooth up the joints on the blocks after they were laid. Also my brother-in-law, Rev. Alton Lowe assisted in the project. My wife was very good at keeping a watchful eye on the whole procedure and caught anything that was out of line. I think we will save Beth's little trowel as a keepsake. 46 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/c5499647cbc300c46daee85614ba92c2.jpg 47a06a4acaae072012644b11421da190 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Anyway, we did a good enough job so that when the house was lowered, the frame and the wall were flat together. Most places all we had to do was to drive in a few mower section blades to make it fit. The fireplace fit almost as well. I had allowed an extra 1/2 inch to make sure it didn't hit before the frame did. There we used a few worn out plow points and a few mower sections to shim it up. Only a very small hardly noticeable crack was in the fireplace and a large mirror came through in perfect shape. We were all happy at the outcome. It was a $60,00 house. We only had three renters in those first 10 years. One purchased a house of their own. The other two stayed four or five years each. They liked the place and we liked them. The first couple was Jerry and Jean Matyczyn. He was a displaced person from Russia. His family brought him leaving a sister to take care of the grandmother. Jerry could speak seven languages , most of them fluently. Both Jean and Jerry Matczyn loved to live here. They swam, used the shelter house and enjoyed walking to the woods and to the neighbors. But they especially liked leading a heifer calf which we owned. Jerry was a computer expert. Sometimes he worked 30 hours at a stretch. He needed relaxation before he could go to bed, so they would put the halter the Brown Swiss heifer and lead it, or feed it a hand full of fresh clover, pet it, talk to it, and sometimes they would lead it down to and into the woods. They and the heifer really enjoyed it. His need for relaxation and a way to do it was solved. They moved to Lowell, Michigan where he is a top consultant and she has taken more schooling. They now have two children, both pretty and sharp girls. They come to visit us once in a while. The last renters were Mr. & Mrs. Hathcock and their two children, Valencia and Jason. They enjoyed the pond in the summer and winter and used the dock and diving boards. Jason took many walks to the woods, watched the birds and small animals. He drew several pictures and studied nature. Mr. Raymond Hathcock was a bonus for us. He kept things in repair and laid a waterproof wire to the shelter and did the wiring. Diving boards were put in with a little luck and ingenuity. The boards had been removed from an abandoned government project. I paid the man who salvaged them only enough for hauling and storing them. He had offered to give them to me. 47 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/dfb4a54b2929329633d672160327011a.jpg ed8e957010ac2f8a731ceb12267be83e Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (56) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 48 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road After the pond was made, a few willow sprouts grew up. One native cedar tree was transferred from the Scott property. The rest of the trees we planted except for the trees and vines along the road. Now, we have many kinds of trees growing. The evergreens are: blue spruce, regular Colorado spruce, Austrian pine, Scotch pine, Black Hills spruce, as well as juniper near the house. On the west hill we have ginkgo, (the oldest variety known to man), as well as several tulip , several fruit trees, and a crab apple. (This crab apple was the only one that lived that was sold by Beth's school for the Bi-centennial. I guess it's because we had tied it to the dock with its roots in the pond for six weeks. We just had forgotten them until they leafed out. Then we planted it.) We since followed the same procedure with other trees with moderate success. Things were not always so peaceful around the pond. One Sunday morning I took time to study my Sunday School lesson, as I was teaching the class at the time. After Sunday School, I went down to the Cheshire Store to pick up the paper. While down there, I heard that two boys had escaped their guard while at the rest stop on I-71. They were hiding or running somewhere in a corn field of someone's house. Eleanor had noticed the helicopters overhead and also the Sheriff and Highway Patrol go by. We called Carl Rodgers and found out what he had heard it on his shortwave radio. When I got home and talked to Eleanor, I told her that I would go over to the house we had moved in but were not renting yet. She got near the telephone and near the window where she could watch for me. When I went over and was just in the front door, I noticed that the heat had been turned up. I foolishly decided to investigate further. Just as I started down the hall, I noticed a man's shoe to one side of the doorway, just inside the bedroom door. I quickly turned around and ran out the front door where Eleanor could see me and yelled "Call the Patrol!" Help soon arrived but the two boys had run out the back door to the woods. The helicopter circled the woods time and time again. We had seen them go. Well, we had two turkey shelters in the corner of the woods and Eleanor with the use of the field glasses saw them under one of the shelters. They could not be seen from above. After they were located, the officers quickly closed in on them and handcuffed them together. 48 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/b2d309405308f3d2a9480a0b2afa8c87.jpg 2a3de2cc1957b1d0783a94270c167bd4 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

One of the boys had a hammer and the other had my large screwdriver. If I had taken one more step down the hallway, it could have been curtains for me. The smaller boy with the screwdriver had already killed one person. It was one time for sure that it paid to teach Sunday School. Now let's turn to something more restful. Often at night or in the early morning, a few deer come to drink at the pond, especially during dry periods when water is hard to find. They may also be seen by looking out of the back door or one of the many windows. Our neighbors to the north have seen as many as 13 at one time. Sometimes they are against the woods in the fall with its colorful leaves turning brown and gold. This often blended with the beautiful colors of the deer making them hard to distinguish. Looking east toward the old orchard, we would see them grazing and picking up and eating apples from the ground. Each Spring and Fall, Canadian geese and wild ducks land on the pond. Sometimes they would stay several days, but more often they just rest and fly away again. We usually watch them with interest. We thought that sometime they would nest, but they don"t. Other birds enjoy the pond. The swallows and purple martins came in the summer evenings to catch flying insects. It was fun to watch them quickly dart from one direction to another while catching bugs. The cardinals and redbirds came from the many large evergreens we have on the east side of the road. Also we have many robins, blue jays, gold finches, hummingbirds and thrushes and, of course, sparrows of many kinds. Most of all, Eleanor enjoys the Carolina wrens. For several years, they nested in a small cardboard box which was just over Eleanor's head while she was cleaning eggs. They would come out and sing their pretty song to her and land close by her. They became very tame. They also came near the back kitchen door and sink window and sing and watch her while she was doing the dishes. It was a very sad time when the many cats caught and killed them. They don't come and nest any more. Last year, we saw a white mink come to the west side of the pond. It was a rare species for here. Officially it is called a mutated mink, just a part of the regular mink family. Its fur would have been very valuable. They like fish, frogs, and chickens. We also have had one or two turtle and snakes. 49 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/85e219a84345a142795c48c12b902f0a.jpg 924200abda0b3d649aedab4cca44ed7e Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (58) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 50 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road Last but not least, we have fish in our pond. Bluegills and small mouth bass. We brought in about 30 bluegills and Eleanor's mother purchased 125 bass and also a bunch of minnows to feed the bass over the first winter. Of course, the bluegills multiplied rapidly from March through October. Now after 13 years, we have bass up to 15 inches long. Eleanor along with her mother grew up fishing in Big Run. We now encourage fishing only by Eleanor, our family, and a few neighbors and little kids. It's hard for Eleanor to go anyplace else. It's one of the reasons that we built the pond. Our main reason for the pond was for boating and swimming. My son-in-law and his family had a canoe that they used on the Maumee River and other streams in Northwestern Ohio. He and the boys rowed on all day trips. They retraced some of the Indian routes. At times, they brought it down here. It received quite a bit of use on our pond. While swimming or for leisurely paddling, it was a favorite of most everybody. This summer, John taught some cats to ride in the canoe. They seemed to enjoy it. He hauled as many as 3 at one time. We also used it for spreading chemicals in the center of the pond. One kind of granular chemical took care of the tall weeds that grew out there. Some of them were eight or nine feet long. One person paddled while another used a grass seeder to spread the chemical. It was quite effective. Along the edge we used copper sulfate to kill the excess of algae. We would place two handfuls in a two gallon sprinkling can and fling the liquid on the water. The pellets were good for many cans of water. We never treated it all of the way around for the small fish need algea for food. Not directly, but microscopic plankton lived in it and the small fish lived on the plankton. "We kids" had fun building a raft. Beth and I made most of it. I took two, 12 inch boards about 6 ft. long and tied them together with long narrow pieces so they stuck out about one foot on each side, just wide enough so that milk jug handles would slide on the ends. Then Beth slipped 48 jugs on each side (2 on each strip). It floated very well. About the same time, we went to the gravel pit to get some sand and gravel for the side of the pond. I had her figure out how many cubic yards we could haul in the 3/4 ton pickup without overloading it. Assuming one cubic yard weighs 1 ton, how full shall we load it? We also assumed that sand weighed a little over 62 1/2 lbs. She found that we could have it filled about half way up. 50 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/b307c678d4dc3f784af6ca1fdc361482.jpg 7cfe506a7907c9cab496c90b17b6efae Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (59) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 51 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road When Beth started back to school, high school in her sophomore year, one evening she called and wanted to to talk to me. She told me that she had taken a mathematics test that was sponsored by the Northwest Surveyor's and Engineers' Association. It was open to all sophomores in that area. With a lilt in her voice, she told me that she had placed ninth in the test out of about 1000 others who had taken it. Now for the heart breaker she said, "Grandpa, if it hadn't been for you teaching me the practical applications of math. I never would have made it!" It made me feel good, but then she was often giving credits to someone else when they helped her. I held my head high for a while. We were all very proud of her. Many insects fly or jump into or over the pond. In the late summer, the grasshoppers, crickets and katydids and other bugs jump in. They provide food for the fish. Also, mosquitos, horseflies, houseflies, gnats, and dragonflies in great number fly over close to the water. These provide food for both fish and birds. They help keep the balance in nature. Many beautiful butterflies can be seen around the pond in the summer, like the bright red monarch, and the other red, yellow and white ones in all sizes. Some have stripes and other markings. The black and white ajax have long tails. The American swallow tail and spicebush swallowtail, the orange-sulpher and tortoise are also seen. At night, many beautiful moths fly over the water. They hunt light and the reflection of light in the water. They are often seen around electric lights or the moonlight where it shines in the water. My brother and I found many cocoons like the long cecropial moth, the shorter polyphemus, purple lilac moth (prometheus), Royal walnut (the round under ground cocoon), Tiger and Hawk moths. Sometimes we would gather the cocoons and place them on the screened in porch and let them emerge there. We would not only get a close look at them, but soon they would fly to the screen and attract other moths. If we let them in and they mated, we would have other cocoons close by a bush or tree. Although Eleanor was a very good swimmer, and that is what we did on our first date, she has not been able to do it since she had a very severe heart attack 48 years ago. She can not even wade in the water. When going to Ohio State she was on their Synchronized Swimming Team. 51 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/844b50beac6ab65d3c78073e48d4a702.jpg 6b065ae2bda9a607b09821ebf87b7e7c Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (60) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 52 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road Well, I have taught many others to swim. I had our daughter in the water when she was 4 months old. The next year, she with me by her side swam in the Westerville (Glengary) water carnival. She swam to the center of the round pool and back. Of course, I was near as it was deep water well over her head. She, too, loved to swim. It was unheard of at that time. People were interested and it encouraged many parents to let their children take swimming lessons. My method of teaching older children to swim was a bit different. One boy, Billy McNamara, who wanted badly to learn but never swam before, was taught in a very short time. He had been watching some of us diving between each other's legs, without touching them and the coming up on the other side. I said to him "You are really ready to learn, aren't you?" He said, "Yes! and I told him "You will be doing the same thing in less than 1 minute." I had him hold his breath for the count of ten and next hold the same again, but this time count 10 more while letting it out. Next he did the same with his head underwater, face down, eyes closed. Next, stretch out and do the same again. Now, he placed both hands forward above his head, palms outward and up as far as possible. Then bring the hands with arms still extended back to the body, keeping the legs level with the body and feet and toes pointing back, He tried it and with a little push, he went under and between others legs too. He was doing it like the rest of us. He and his family have always appreciated it. Just before his sister, Kathy McNamara, went to be a nun, she asked me to go swimming with her. So we went over to the Sunbury Pool and we both loved it. She later found that the ties to her family were too strong to give up so dropped out and studied to be a teacher. I also taught my three grandchildren to swim. We put life jackets on them and pulled them in the deep water. I taught them to use their arms and legs to help move them along. They too loved the water. After that, we went to the shallow end of the pond and I had them place their hands on my shoulders while in front of me with their feet in my hands, their legs doubled up. They then gave their legs a quick thrust while stretching out on their backs. When they let loose of my shoulders, I gave their feet a quick push with my hands. They soon learned to control their breath and by bringing their hands and arms down to their sides they went quite a distance. They soon saw the need to shut their eyes and control their breathing at the same time. 52 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/0414c43f29d8bf417d76732e414defcd.jpg 97a50665b46ed242a1e8012e8ede8a8f Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (61) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 53 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road Next, I had them lay on their stomachs and their feet in my hands as before. They placed their arm back and grabbed my biceps. When I pushed them forward and they let loose of me, they threw their arms forward, and brought their hands together over their head. They coasted quite a ways. By moving their fingers on a plane up or down, they could move themselves vertically at will. It is amazing how much a swimmer can move themselves in the water just by movement of the water. This is often done when treading water or swimming on the back. One of the first things for survival in deep water is to learn how to bob up and down. The arms are raised with the body vertical and it is allowed to sink. The feet an legs are then spread apart and quickly brought together, and the arms are brought down to the side at the same time. The upper body will shoot up and out of the water with the head and shoulders out. There is time to take a deep breath and then repeat the operation again and again. If the water is not too cold, this can be repeated for hours. This is a far cry from throwing a kid into the water and making him swim and probably be scared of water for life. Now, for some stunts that were just done for fun. In shallow water about belly button deep, we had fun by climbing up on someone else's shoulders and jumping or diving off. I would stand with one arm folded at the elbow to form a step. One knee was thrust forward, to form another step. The child would place his or her left foot on my left knee, (This is awkward but very important.) while grasping my right hand over my head. Next they must place their right foot in my elbow. Now they step up while the left foot is pulled from my knee and swing it clear over past the back of my head over onto my right shoulder. At the same time as I raise my right hand, they are high above my head. The rest is easy, they just have to pull their left foot up on my left shoulder and stand up straight and balance themselves with the aid of both of my hands. The student must be taught not to dive with the head straight down. This is dangerous, especially in shallow water or in a concrete pool. Good safety rules are never dive into the water unless you have explored it to see it there are any hard objects below. Don't swim alone! Have someone else along who can throw a floatation device near you quickly. Always keep something between you and the one who needs help. If it is a large body of water have boat handy. 53 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/5c979072f968b9016a757cb7fd734f99.jpg 61951258173a31ffd24b73035527695d Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (62) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 54 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road Having swum with large numbers of 4-H kids, I thought it advisable to take some swimming lessons and life saving courses. Therefore, I took them and passed them three times after I was 50 years old. On my 75th birthday, I swam across and back 16 times in our pond making a total trip of over 1/4 mile. Both of these accomplishments gives the older folks a record to shoot for and I hope to be still swimming at 80, in spite of my heart trouble. It was also a bit unusual to meet our new lady minister swimming in our pond. She and her husband, who also became a minister, had come with Mr. and Mrs. George Stromh. They came often. Revs. Sue and Peter Ellencovf's were from New York. She had studied music at the school of music. Their habits of dress and conduct were a little different from her congregation, but they made up for it in their love for others. She said, "A minister's duty extended beyond her church the same as anyone else's does." I know of no minister who ever helped other people in the time of need more than she and Peter did. illustration of house and pond 54 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/4b85332b39b3962d1376c335f1b100fe.jpg 4ba15eafaef0f7efd42b44b3c79e19f1 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Some are green and some are blue, Some are grafted for a brighter hue. Also we have many apple trees, And tulip trees with leaves That flutter in the breeze. An old species tree called ginko And many other trees are lined in each row. On the south side is my Many Nut Hill. To watch them grow gives me a thrill! Some are grafted and some cross- bred, Some of them are higher than my head. There are the walnuts, butternuts and pecans, English walnuts, carpethians, and hi-cans, But, the butternut-hazelnut cross out does them all, From a sprout this spring, its growth is phenominal. It has grown this summer so wide and so tall. I am looking forward to watch them grow each year. It's better to look forward than to the rear, Like Eleanor when she gives her views And people like it in The Sunbury News.

They scooped it from the coffee bin, Or sold it in cans made of tin. Lions coffee was usually found, And taken home where enough was ground, By turning the crank round and round. Then put it in a coffee pot, And placed on the stove where it was hot. They made enough to last the whole day out, It would almost stand up when it came from the spout. They saw nothing wrong in drinking it then. Some would drink it from the time they were ten. Some coffee cups at each reside Had a strainer on each side. If too hot it was the rule, To pour it in a saucer to let it cool. They'd drink from it without a splash, But sometimes got coffee on their mustache. This problem was solved by putting the ends in their mouth, to the dismay of their spouse. If today you were the host, Could you find the answer from Emily Post? Would you offer your guests some more, And let them do the same as before? illustration of a man drinking coffee from saucer 56 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/0225b07468c3a147dbda3200005b2a4b.jpg c4ffc6084c8cc12b25984db599dc7d1d Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Uncle Josh sez: Uncle Josh, a forerunner of Will Rogers, said on an old phonograph record: "Well sir, along last fall the boys said to me, Uncle, we would like to have you play a game of golf. Well-ha, ha, Well--they took me out in the woodshed where Mother couldn't see us. Ha, Ha, Ha! Then they dressed me up in the "dawg gone-dest suit " of clothes, I calculated I ever had on--- I looked like a cross between an Indian and cigar sign. Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha! Well, they took me out in Deacon Weatherspoon's pasture and set a little ball on top of a hunk of mud and gave me a putter of somethin' or other and told me to stand along side it and whale away at it. Ha, ha, ha, ha! Well, I stood a long side of it and whaled away at it and I missed it! He, ha, ha, ho! Well, I tried it again. This time I hit it right where I missed it the first time. The third time I hit it, it went clean out of the pasture and hit the Deacon's cow. She jumped and ran away clear over into the next county. When she jumped, she kicked Deacon Weatherspoon's pail of milk over, spilled the milk, and knocked him off the stool and onto the ground. He got up and chased after the cow with both hands flying in the air. He would never speak to me again. Modes of transportation, communication, and entertainment were changed by Thomas Edison, Richard Firestone, Alexander Graham Bell and Henry Ford. They changed the habits, society and styles throughout the world. Most of this happened in the early part of the 20th Century. My Uncle Ed McWilliams had one of the old Gramophones when I was quite small. He had most of the Uncle Josh records. We were thrilled to hear each one many times over. We often went to the neighbors to hear their new Silvertone phonograph. We heard Uncle Josh, Will Rogers, the "Three Black Crows", and Amos and Andy. Later we had a Victrola of our own and had plenty of music. My favorites were records of the violin alone or the Hawaiian guitar and the ukulele. Whole generations enjoyed the Christmas music as it was played throughout the holidays. All of this was started by Mr. Edison and was just a forerunner to the many, many changes that have changed society and are still changing it. Likewise, all of the early inventors did and are still doing the same. Many of them have been mentioned in the previous chapters. I'll try to tell more that have been unique to our own area. 57 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/a8fa91993cb0f978026c424e9bcf5be8.jpg 26fb61ccc5ac3ca43516cee18929f13c Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (66) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 58 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road An early form of entertainment and communication was the art of story telling. Stories were enjoyed by all, and passed on from person to person and handed down from generation to generation. One of the unique and original story tellers was old Tommy Scott. He told them in the Cheshire General Store around the turn of the century. Some of his favorite stories were about fish, wild turkeys and bear. He must have lain awake at night or dreamed about them. Where he got them, no one knows! First, I will tell you about his bear stories. He told that once he was out in the mountains hunting bear. He was up high on a ledge when a bear took after him and chased him around and around. He could not see him but knew he was close behind. So he just bent his rifle barrel in a circle and shot. Well, to make the long story short, the bullet got the bear and rolled him down the mountain. Another story about a bear was when a "bar" was taking after him. He didn't have a gun with him this time. The bear was close to him and he could feel him breathing on the back of his neck. But, quick thought and action saved the day. He just turned around and reached down the bear's throat far enough and grabbed his tail and turned him inside out and the bear ran the other way! One time when picking berries, he told about a bear and her cubs which were also picking berries. Well, the old she bear took after him, so all he could do was drop his pail and run. They ran and ran and ran. Finally they came to a frozen lake and he went out on the ice. The bear came out on it too, but the bear broke through the ice! You see she chased him from early summer until the middle of November. So much for his bear stories. Now let me tell you some of his fish and wild turkey stories. One time in early June, as Tommy Scott goes on, he shot a wild turkey that was a gobbler. The bird was so big that when swung him over his shoulder the turkey's head dragged in the snow. He must have had to carry it a long way. Another time he went fishing in Alum Creek. He hooked a big one. . . so large that it pulled him in. When it did, the fish were so plentiful that they got into his pants and popped a button off. The button flew up in a tree and split a limb. It just so happened that a hen turkey and her brood were sitting on the limb. the whole flock of them got their toes caught in the split and just hung there. He had plenty of fish and wild turkey to last him and the neighbors for quite a while. 58 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/71ee05ac4ab408c7d5b97f591527f688.jpg f0ef0b272e343dc8c450d3b7c3a09634 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (67) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 59 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road He often hunted wild turkeys down in southeastern Ohio. He said, "One time he used a turkey call and about 6 gobblers came over the hill single file. Well, I lined them up even with my rifle barrel, took aim, and fired the bullet went through all six of the turkeys' heads and killed all of them. I could hardly believe it myself! Personally, I have always thought that people weren't liars if they told lies so big that no one would believe them anyhow. Whispering is another form of communication. Boys did it as well as girls. It was often followed by laughter and giggles. One time during study period in high school, Homer Sherman, who sat right in back of me, leaned forward on his desk to talk with a whisper so that I could hear it. He said that one time he went down to the creek when it was up. He thought he could still jump across it, so he tried it. He saw that he was going to land in the middle so he jumped again. Maybe that was one of Tommy Scott's stories too. The Grange is the oldest farm organization in America. It originated in England. It was founded by some members of the Masonic Lodge. Its degrees are based on the seasons and activities on the farm. It is a family organization high in good principles. The Grange in community was the Utopian Grange. We had about ninety members. For year, the meetings were held once a month over the Berlin Store. Here we put on degree work and lecturer's programs, which consisted of music, songs, talks, and stunts. The lecturer and her committee made a program for the whole year ahead. One year when I was Master, they placed one family for a stunt for each month of the year. I remember once when Charley Johnson did all the different things that he could do with a chair. He crawled over and around the back, balanced himself while on the two rear chair legs with one chair over another, stood with one hand on the seat and the other hand on the back of it with his feet up and maneuvered about while changing hands. He did tumbling while sitting on the chair. Roy Scott used the broom. He held it horizontally over his head, brought it back down across his back and finally jumped backward over it while still holding onto the broom. Also, he placed the end of the broom handle on his nose and forehead and leaned back with his back and knees bent until the other end of it touched the floor. By swinging his whole body under it he could make a complete turnaround while balancing it on the end of his nose or forehead. 59 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/baf97456d390a465fca6dfd150efdf4e.jpg 4b68d9983ec77d8399f08d10c1c867ef Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (68) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 60 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road Another stunt was performed by two people. They faced each other while clasping hands and turned themselves inside out while still holding hands. This was called "wringing the dishcloth." Another stunt they performed was done by holding one person's hands while another person stepped up into them. With a little boost the person could do a flip flop and land on his feet. Some individuals could stand on their heads, walk on their hands, or balance on one hand. One could lie on his back while bringing both feet back under him as far as possible and lunge forward into a standing position without touching his hands. Of course, many could do push-ups and sit-ups. Two ladies performed several pastimes with strings using their fingers. the two would face each other. One of them would thread the loop of cord over their hands and fingers with some cord parallel and some crossed. Then the other person would reach over and grab the two crossed cords with the thumb and finger of each hand and remove them from the first person's hands. By moving the fingers, some of the strings were changed to the two middle fingers. The action could be repeated over and over. It was called Jacob's Cradle or Coffin. Another old trick was the button on a string. This required threading a heavy string through the holes in a large button and tying it to form a loop. The string was held by the two hands and with a few quick tugs, the button started to spin. By pulling the cord with rhythm, the string would twist one way and then another, and the button will turn very fast. Of course, they demonstrated jump-the-rope done in several ways. It needs no further explanation. They also did rope tricks, knot tying demonstrations, and lassoing. Plays and operettas were well attended. For several years, our Utopian Grange entered a contest held in the old Delaware Opera House which later burned down. We gave historical plays. One was about a family from Radnor. When they heard that Indians were on the warpath, burning villages and killing people, they fled in a hurry by driving their team and wagon toward the Cheshire Blockhouse. On their way, they lost a child from the wagon, but they didn't know when they lost it. Later, they found out that it was a false alarm so they returned home and found the child. 60 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/bf8a6360749e82571a432d2d0a4c2240.jpg 8eaaa481dab1bbf748ca76696567534c Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

For the first two times, we performed last, but for the one that we lost, we did it first. It could be that the last impressions are best, but the others' performances were good. Mildred Schank, our own Grange member, wrote the script and painted the scenery. The cast was large and the costumes were appropriate. There were very talented people playing the parts. It was well done. Styles have changed greatly throughout the years. During the 20's, many girls played basketball. They wore middies and bloomers. Bare legs had not come into acceptance yet. The bloomers were pleated and folded over the knees. Stockings came up to the knees. Track uniforms were the same way. The boys' suits used in ball games have changed very little, both in basketball and baseball. But, of course, the football suits are more padded and colorful now. Young girls when dating were well escorted. Men's hats were tipped. Your girls curtsied. Most of them double dated until they were older or were on special occasions. None of them stayed together overnight. I will always remember a little verse that Mother used to say. The moon is shining bright May I see you home tonight? Stars are, too; I don't care if you do. or Stars are dim; Chances are mighty slim. It was always the duty for the prospective groom to ask the girl's father for his daughter's hand in marriage. It was customary for the girl's parents to invite the groom's family over for a fancy dinner at their home. Plans were announced or planned. Sometimes the parents of each had made plans while the children were very small. Wealth or adjoining properties influenced this decision. These plans didn't always work out. Sometimes the two children found other suitors. For other reasons, they would plan for themselves or elope. At times, this resulted in a loss from inheritance or caused trouble in the family. When my folks were married in 1902. Dad was 25 and mother was a year younger. They drove their horse and buggy to Minerva Park and spent the day. It was toward Columbus and about 20 miles south. After that , they came back to their new home just south of his Father's place. They lived there for the rest of their lives. 61 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/9eabaca9c66e04c2adac91f9c4c9e8da.jpg c37b37783ed9339e168193ac93a3ef08 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Later, we went out in our front yard to reenacted our wedding ceremony. Only this time, we acted out a shotgun wedding. It was lots of fun. Eleanor's Pa held the shotgun on me, while her Mother pushed her to a place beside me and in front of Rev. Alton Lowe. He held the big Sears catalog in place of the Bible. Dick and Ginny threw rice over us. Mima or someone else took turns with the camera. It was late afternoon and our hired man was going across the road near the barn to feed and water the bull. He had a pail of feed and a pail of water, one in each hand. He couldn't figure out what we were doing. He missed the driveway and fell into the ditch. All of this was to our amusement. We often wish that we had taken a picture of him. Just before Dick and Ginny were married, we attended the Griffith reunion at the Delaware County Fairgrounds. There was a swimming pool there. I, as usual, went swimming with the kids. Well, one of Tom McNamara's daughter, Cleone, was in swimming. She was O. S. U. Homecoming Queen for that year. She was in over toward one side of the pool, at some distance from the diving boards. I thought I would be smart and so I went up on the high board and dived in. I swam along the bottom of the concrete pool, in fact too close. For in doing so I came upon a rough place and broke part of one tooth off. But I swam on and came up next to her. With the wedding about two weeks away, this was bad. It showed from the front, and I had to give the bride away! What was I to do? It was to be a big church wedding in Delaware, and many folks that we had never met and from out of state would be there. Well it turned out all right. Our dentist put on a temporary cap, so it didn't show. We held the reception at our place. There was a very large crowd. Ginny's two suitemates, Sarah Selkerk and Carol Schmeckpeper were there. The addition to our house was just finished. (That's another story). Well, Ginny's 4-H heifer had just had twin calves which were named after Ginny's suitemates, Schmeck and Sarah. Sarah's father was a baby doctor in Cincinnati. He asked many questions about the birth of the calves. My brothers and their wives, Clyde and Mildred and earlier, Donald and Lavinia had small weddings. Donald and his wife told no one before hand and were married near Cincinnati. Clyde and Mildred were married in Delaware just by the minister and only a few people knew about it. I guess, in some ways, it may be better. 62 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/3c551e28ff4e738099f224a582733f3b.jpg 17088805c07c93c47003279a30ceaf56 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Some of them hadn't seen each other for up to 30 years. All seemed to have a good time. Max sang appropriate songs. Our lady minister sang some songs like "Roll Out the Barrel". I recited my poem, "Eleanor". It brought spontaneous applause like you don't often hear. Pete read a poem that he had written for the special occasion, titled "A Golden Wedding". Later, we went to Shades' Restaurant for dinner. While we were there, a lot of pictures were taken of our families as well as that of the minister and a sponsored Japanese girl Noriko Tacagnii who was attending college in Virginia. She was back for the holidays. She was a good friend of Beth's. They had often run together for one mile or more. She was learning English and wanted to get used to the many forms of slang and dialects used in this country. She is now a manager in Japan of a computer company based in Cincinnati. Just a short while before our anniversary, the kids sent out letters to various people. We handed them out to our tax customers and to our church folks. The letters were an unique one page invitation to our 50th Wedding Anniversary. They designed them themselves. Dick drew the heading on both the invitation and the response. On page one at the bottom was written "Let your memories be your gift". On the second page at the top the words were written, "Ring out the Golden Memories" On a ribbon and to one side were 2 bells. On one was written "Ed" and on the other Eleanor". Next to the word "with" at the bottom of the page was a drawing of an ink bottle and a quill. The wedding dress that Eleanor wore at our wedding was made of soft velveteen. It was small. It came just below her knees. Eleanor only weighed about 97 pounds. At that time, the color of the dress was called "Eleanor Roosevelt Blue". I wore a blue suit. I weighed 129 pounds. I could have worn the same suit that I wore when I graduated. The five boys who graduated in 1926 went to Columbus and ordered suits alike. They were blue with herringbone weave. My folks didn't want us to do it. But, we bought them at the Sherman Clothing Store on North High Street. they only cost $25 and lasted for years. We still have mine. The only reason I quit wearing it was that I put on too much weight. At the time, we wore soft collared shirts. Earlier they wore Celluloid or heavily starched collars. They kept clean longer. But for those who had a short neck, they were quite uncomfortable. 63 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/593491732f4114926ef739922f8c1dbb.jpg 7ab3da2cafca039953bd6b3115866a62 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (72) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 64 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road I well remember the large dishpans of cornstarch my mother and grandmother made. They used it on Tuesdays or the evening before. They dipped the shirts, especially the collars and cuffs in the starch and rolled them up and started a pile of stacked rolls. They would soon be ready to iron. Most everything was starched except underwear, bath towels, and flannel goods. The heaviest starched were the overalls. They made sure to starch them before the starch ran out. When they got through not much starch was left. All of the fine linen tablecloths, napkins and dish towels were also starched. The ladies petticoats were heavily starched so that they stood out, held the dress out, and the lace remained smooth. A pleated skirt or ruffled dress took a lot of work to iron. Monday was wash day and bean soup day. Tuesday was ironing day and baked beans time. Wednesday was mending day regular or noodle meal day. On Thursday was house cleaning and floor scrubbing day. Friday was baking day and whatever else they could use the oven for. On Saturday, it was visiting and shopping day. On Sunday, it was, of course, church and rest day. Some had Bible reading every day. Oh, Yes They didn't forget the Saturday night bath! I wouldn't know who gossiped the most, the men or the women! Of course, the men said that the women did. But, sometimes I would doubt it. Any gossip travelled fast, even in the days before the telephone, especially harmful gossip. I was taught not to say something bad about a person, unless I quickly followed it up by saying something good about them, also. There were good habits and bad habits. The bad habits were like gossiping, cursing, swearing, fighting, losing one's temper, cruelty to animals, wife beating, men and women not speaking to each other, mean tricks, cheating, keeping all of the money to one's self, the hardship of the family, and running their business without consulting the other. Many housewives kept a little chicken feed, or spending money, hidden somewhere so the rest couldn't find it. She sold the eggs from the chickens or sold a few old hens or fryers. This money was hers. She got to keep it. She often traded eggs for groceries. It helped keep the household going which was her duty. Fresh churned butter was also sold to the huckster and she brought "lamp oil". 64 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/049b74a8dc2718bfc0d34a9de27142a0.jpg e7394579c371a795419d7b33eac1c6dc Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

If you don't want to stop smoking, don't start. If you want to know what a girl is like, watch how she treats her kid sister. A thrifty farmer makes his own repairs. One bad apple can spoil many. Don't make a mountain out of a mole hill. Good habits are even more important sometimes than bad ones. One old farmer, Calvin Stanley, never used cuss words but when things went wrong, like hitting his thumb with a hammer, he would say "The beast - The beast!" Many habits, both good and bad, are mentioned elsewhere in this book, so I will try not to repeat them again. illustration of a man drinking water at the pump 65 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/22b9a83b3cd78a1e756155e2b8744551.jpg bb1054ee59fcedeaac042b7d2ced6fb2 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

She had a habit of growing lots of flowers and used bright colors, both in and out of the house. She was 100% Indian. "INDIAN SUMMER" Indian Summer comes, so we're told It comes but once a year. But, also in other seasons for various reasons We are caught up in its atmosphere. Indian Summer is a wonderful time, With its shades of brown and gold There are many thing at this time of year, In words can never be told. When the work of the past can be harvested at last And their place in our lives unfold. Grandma Steck has that special something, Found in Indian Summer, her life full of everything In summer, winter, or spring That makes a harvest and we search the farthest.

Lowe. While Mima stood there by your side Ant the best man there was my brother Clyde. You laughed out loud when Alton's hand shook While during the ceremony, he held a book. But the wedding was over none too soon For we wanted to start our honeymoon. Our first night at Logan . . . It was a fright! The cuckoo kept us awake all night. The next morning, when we started to go, We decided we would head for Reno. To get a divorce? Oh, no! My, no! In the state of West Virginia was this Reno. We continued on our trip to Washington, D.C. And we acted like lovebirds who were just set free. When we came home, little did we know That we would farm fifty years without making much dough. We lived with Clyde and my folks, for 10 precious years. We worked and we laughed, and we shed a few tears. As time passed by, we had a little girl A little blond one who grew curl after curl. One time when Kempton was cutting my hair A call came,. "Come home fast, Eleanor may not last." When I got home Dr. Ihle was there. (He must have held it to the floor that day For he came from a distance much farther away.) He used a technique learned in World War I, Gave her a treatment, and the battle was won. He said, "To still be a mother and wife, she must take medicine the rest of her life." We moved where we live now in 1943, With an interest in Great Danes and the white turkey. Often, worked from dawn till as late as we could see and slept to the music from the "Grand Ole Opry". 67 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/f36355a41063df5d859f2d61465e9191.jpg 61ef3932aece598939ec2f1bbe985f7f Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (77) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 69 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road It's a fact: "Before the eagle was chosen as our national symbol, the wild turkey was considered." We were in the turkey business for 39 years. We started raising them in 1927. We used the confinement method. For years the only way was to let the old hen turkey look after them and take the little poults to the fields to feed on alfalfa, clover, weed seeds, or grain. The only time they were fed was in the evening of fall of the year. They were used only for Thanksgiving or on other holidays. About the time we began, a new method was used to start the baby turkeys. It was developed by Dr. Billing of Minnesota. He clipped clover leaves without using stems, because the stems would lodge in their crop and they would become crop-bound. This was the big secret that kept turkeys from being raised this way before. We were one of the first growers to use his method. We also fed cottage cheese and rolled oats fortified with cod liver oil. They were then switched to a commercial turkey starter. This was also special. It had to have the correct amount of bone meal, fish meal, and the right amount of vitamin D. Otherwise, they would develop straddle leg and be unable to walk. The starter was almost the same formula as "pablum" which was one thing that we fed our daughter when she was small! Preparing all of this made a good job for Dad. Dad had an abscess on one lung. He treated it for 30 years by lying with his head and shoulders over the side of the bed and draining it out several times each day. Each day when the turkeys were small he would gather the little white clover, red clover or alfalfa and clip the leaves with a pair of scissors. He also give them their other feed, cleaned and refilled the small waterers, put clean peat moss under them, and other wise make them comfortable. We usually used kerosene brooder stoves for heat in the brooder houses. We made wire screen hardware cloth for runways. This gave the turkeys more room as they grew larger and helped keep the inside cleaner. The droppings then piled underneath. It also helped them get used to the outdoors so, that they would soon be ready to go to the field. Some growers kept them up until they were sold. 69 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/6065646809d58f4d0cee5424bd93805d.jpg 6d0c00448189c7c5f5a400315b81c99b Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (78) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 70 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road We also used hard coal stoves for heat as well as electricity. Later we used battery brooders. All of us got into the job of changing the papers that were underneath the trays. The papers got wet as well as dirty. The water troughs had to be cleaned and refilled and the feeders replenished. It made quite a chore, especially when the numbers were increased with the poults about the same age. We started with about 700 the first year and later raised about 8000. That was a very large number for that time. The least safe heat was the heat bulbs or the oil brooders. If for some reason the heat bulbs would fall down, they could catch on fire as sometimes we used newspapers on the floor to keep it clean and provide insulation. One make of oil brooders wouldn't burn ever. They would burn slow and then all at once burn real hard. The burner itself would become to full of fuel and then it would burn the excess oil away. The design of the brooder itself was wrong. One night we lost a brooder house, turkeys and all, because of this . It was a Montgomery Ward brooder. Sometimes several hundred turkeys at a time were kept in the barn or other large buildings. We soon found out that if the turkeys would become scared for some reason they would pile in a corner. We would find just about 90 piled in one corner at at time. Unless, we were right there to uncover them, they would soon smother. Sometimes they weighed up to 5 lbs. each. One answer to the problem was to pile straw high in each corner or place wire netting in each corner. We often had triangular frames for this purpose. These were used over and over again. For several years, we showed turkeys at the Ohio State Fair. The white ones were being improved rapidly. The bronze turkey had to have the right colored feathers for show, thus, more emphasize was placed on them. For a while, weight and development were stressed. Other breeds shown were the Reds, Blue slates, Narragansett, Royal Palm, and the wild turkeys. Later the U.S. D. A. developed the small white turkeys. Each had their special characteristics. Some dressed well, others laid well and still others laid poorly but were good mothers. The small whites had a place in the market. Mrs. Homer Price was nationally known for her fine White Hollands. For years, she took the blue ribbons. Her birds had good size, body shape, and were quite tame. We purchased much of our original stock from her. She lived near Newark. 70 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/d8e47f3fda0677b80019fc8c836577bb.jpg 0479e805ac95d0dbc2382e70188eb899 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (79) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 71 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road After a few years, we had some White Hollands that placed well. In fact, we had a champion pair. Judge Hackett from Minnesota said that they were the best pair of turkeys from one flock that he had ever judged. He was editor of the American Poultry Journal. This was indeed an honor. Just a few years before that, we exhibited our turkeys at the World Poultry Congress. There, with our young hen turkeys, we placed 7th and 9th in a class of 27 and with our two young toms, we stood about half way up. The top White Hollands were shipped from Oregon in a private railroad car. Their tail feathers were carefully wrapped with cardboard and tied! We did well against such competition. If we had had the turkeys that we had just a few years later, we would have given them a run for their money. Winning was a big boost to their sales. They asked over $2 per egg after that. We developed a good strain of White Hollands by selection. Over the years we looked for not only broad breasts but, also for broad backs, good strong legs, well shaped heads, and in general good conformation and well balanced bodies. It takes generations to establish these characteristics so the weaknesses are diminished and the good characteristics will remain. When we finally developed some good ones, we kept them in a separate breeding flock. They were so well built with broad backs that they could be picked out halfway across the pen. We sold turkey eggs for hatching. At first it was just to nearby hatcheries who resold them. That was also where ours eggs where hatched. One year the local hatcheries had more of our poults than they knew what to do with so they told us they could handle no more at that time. Well, we, my folks, and Shades had breeder flocks. We wanted more geese to put with our turkeys in the field so Eleanor called Cooper Bros. Hatchery near Oakwood, Ohio. While she was talking, she asked them if they could use some eggs or poults. At first, they said "No, but later they called back and asked questions such as whether the flock had been tested or not. They told us to send 150 poults to New Mexico and that was just the beginning. For years, during the egg laying season, the three families took turns each week hauling the turkey eggs to Oakwood. We usually had a pickup truck load. We enjoyed it. It was a break from our routine! 71 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/b36b063699786ebb0e2843532d79842c.jpg fbadb5bde87782667058325abed05ff0 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (80) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 72 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road Eleanor and I sent to Peter Crafts for hatching eggs. In later years, Peter had a closed breeding flock. He started it with four strains of White Hollands and at that time it had been closed for 17 years. It was a good well established strain by that time. His turkeys had one weakness. They had a poor backs. This defect would show up during the breeding and laying season. We tried crossing his toms with our hens. But, the eggs did not hatch well. Was it because of the bad back? Anyway we tried crossing them the other way and it worked. By using the hens form our special pen they hatched good and the back problem was eliminated. The poults were excellent, had good growth, and excellent body shape. we called them Griffith-Craft. They were advertized nationally by Cooper's Hatchery. When we started to sell eggs, we received 30 cents per egg. Later the price was less than 20 cents. then the hatcheries paid on hatchability. This became uneconomical for the supplier. Then, to top it all off, hatcheries insisted that they buy all of our breeding poults that were hatched from special eggs from the West. These made good large meat turkeys, but the hatchability went lower. The cross they had used produced low hatchability and the bind grew worse as they still were paying on poults hatched. We sold our breeding flock. Cholera and other diseased entered the picture. On our farm, it hit our breeding hens just as they came into production. Cholera locates in the birds reproductive organs, their lungs turn black, and they soon die. We tried copper sulfate in the drinking water, but, it did no good. The only thing that helped was sulfa drugs. For quick reaction it was shot in the veins. This treatment lasted for only a few weeks. It was time to sell them for meat. This was about the end of the turkey egg business. We had had heavy losses before. One fall, we were hit by cholera down home. Losses mounted. The university said that it didn't effect the meat and the turkeys could be dressed and sold. We dressed them like mad. Mill's Restaurant and Woolworths helped us and stored them for future use. We lost $7000 in three weeks. I remember sitting at the dinner table and the sweat just poured from our faces. But, it was a good year and still made a profit that year! 72 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/edd327757432d9e9a97167c2690a2ea6.jpg 88224b81d54bd0c3c41648a4507d2544 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It set many of them up financially. Coopers bought the whole downtown business section of Oakwood that year. Turkeys sold for about $.45 per lbs. and feed costs were low. Our brother drove a bunch of hens that got over the fence into our field right over with ours. He took unnecessary chances. We tried to find out how to treat them at the time. The veterinarians had no advice. The extension Service nor Purena Feed co. could give no answers. But, if we had called Dwight or Florence Leifer, we could have used sulfa drugs and it would have stopped it right away. The Leifers were known as deans of the Ohio turkey growers. They lived in the Knox County hillsides. They grew as many as 100, 000 or more birds per year. They also had a large hatchery and sold poults by the millions. They purchased a neighboring farm about every year. The house they had built to live in had a living room 30' x 60', with a catwalk overhead and a large fireplace in the living room as well as in the kitchen. They actually used it every day. The house was logs brought in from the Northwest. Later their hired help did most of the manual work. They raised Florence's sister's children, put them through college, and gave them many opportunities which few kids have. Just before our flock took cholera, they had run near a shredded corn fodder pile. They scratched and picked over it until was nearly level. We could see plenty of dark mold. The pile was just full of it. Our brother's flock did the same to another stack just like it later. Each time some turkeys were lost and in each case, their lungs turned black. None of the authorities seem to agree with me, but I thought it could be that moldy corn fodder could have been a host to the cholera germs. It was brought up at the annual turkey meeting at the university but no one seemed to agree. They thought migratory birds may have brought it in. Anyhow, now we have the use of sulfa, the answer is here. Another disease that needed quick action was erysipelas. It hit Eleanor's and my flock one September, at the time of the Delaware County Fair. One time on Brown Jug Day, I remember we had to hurry home and give them shot of penicillin. We had to do this three or four times a day to get ahead of it. One shot per bird is all it took. 73 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/80db80cd4492314ebe8726b1748b18a2.jpg 7114565797b221118f65385d725e7586 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It was usually a tom. He would be sitting off by himself and he didn't want to move. His head would begin to turn dark and he had scabs on his wattles and snood. It would spread rapidly through fighting and the picking of one another. The infected bird usually died in a day without treatment. The other birds picked them to death. The erysipelas our birds picked up came from an old rotten stump. It was the same as a disease in sheep called Seabies. The sheep loose the wool and finally die. Researchers have now found out that Seabies may have a connection to herpes, a virus disease of the skin all over the skin, but, will spread to parts of the brain. The virus cannot be detected by microscope, but researchers know that it is there. While we were still down to my folks, we started to dress turkeys for Woolworths. The store in Columbus was the first Woolworths Store in the nation to serve fresh turkey dinners. They served turkey and dressing or sandwiches for a very modest sum. A good meal cost less than $.80. This was in the middle of the 1930's. During the first two days of the opening, they used 25 large toms. Eleanor and I took them to Columbus in an enclosed van, delivered them from the alley and up to the kitchen. The turkeys were all packer dressed. That is, the heads and feet were left on and they were not drawn. At that time the health department considered this more sanitary. Woolworth's continued to use more and more. At their request, we dressed, boxed, and shipped turkeys to Cincinnati and Cleveland a few times. The dietician for Columbus' Woolworth was Miss Glidden from Michigan. She came to our farm to see us before ordering the first time. Our business relationship was very good. Thus, she made contact with Clyde and my folks and the price to begin with was set. Later when the price was changed, the folks at home felt that they had a part in it. Woolworth also served excellent strawberry pie. It was made with an open top. They made it with a delicious glaze filling and a scoop of white topping. Miss Glidden gave Eleanor the recipe. It sold for about $.35. It was very popular. This was before other restaurants served anything like it. 74 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/6c866f4b7994c9444cd394a32813cc04.jpg 27968d12a28d72e27a4b5def7b883e34 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Chapman's Grocery catered to the wealthy homes in North Columbus. He took pride in special grocery items that were hard to find elsewhere. One year while we were living with my folks, Mr. Chapman ordered about 150 dressed young hen turkeys. We dressed them and went to bed about midnight. Then about 1:30 in the morning, he called and wanted to cancel the order! Later at 4:30 that same morning, he called again and wanted to double the original order. We didn't get much sleep that night. A few years later, Eleanor had an operation. This forced us to give up dressing so many turkeys and delivering them while living down home. Eleanor did most of the drawing. One year just before Christmas, Eleanor and I delivered turkeys about all over Columbus. It was about midnight when we finished. But, we had missed one for the cook at Woolworths. So, I caught one of of the roost, and dressed it for her, and then delivered it to her on Christmas morning. We always tried to live up to our commitments. We sold many turkeys alive, both wholesale and retail. We all worked together catching and loading them. We made a zigzag sharp cornered traps on one side of the pens. Sometimes, we covered the last four feet with wire. Other times, we set up catching crates lined up end to end. They had gates that slid up and down, with a door on top. The quickest way was to have 2 or 3 corner traps close together and use a catching hook. One man would hook them by a leg and pass them around to his back while standing still. Another person would grab them and crate them. Rapidly, our crew have loaded over 700 birds in 1 1/2 hours. The whole truck was weighed before and after loading the turkeys. One winter-like day, when it was 10 degrees below zero, we loaded turkeys. The wind was blowing a gale and snow was flying. It was the coldest day that we had ever loaded turkeys. The field was open with nothing to stop the wind. Some of us froze our ears and nose. We loaded a big truck from Cleveland. Willie Daunche's son drove it and 2 helpers with him. He weighed about 300 lbs. The trip down was so cold that Willie's son changed from one side of the cab to the other, because he said, "One cheek of my seat got so cold that I had to change sides to keep it from freezing." 75 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/15bb5f5d553daeb2eb55e38c3fb69692.jpg 6b28361cb1463b124c70f19053b36d1e Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (84) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 76 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road Willie was a very honest person and had a strong Jewish faith. He wanted hen turkeys for the September Jewish holidays. We didn't want to sell many hens without selling about the same number of toms. Willie said "I went to Synagogue and prayed that you would sell more toms so you would let me have more hens for the holidays". Since we were selling quite a few toms to our restaurant trade at that time of the year, Willie's prayers were answered. During World War II when a price ceiling was imposed on retailers by the government, Willie's poultry store got around it and made a little money by charging the customers to enter the store. Thus, he was able to supply his regular trade, and outsiders could not come in and clean him out to supply their own black market. Willie was a shrewd merchant. He was very honest and trusted us. One time he came from Cleveland on a bus and walked out from Galena to pay us. He and his son always trusted us. When we weighed the turkeys in crates on the platform scales before loading, they always took our weights and Eleanor's figures without question. Willie often ate with us at our table. He brought his kosher bread and cheese. One time he brought his grandson with him. We had smoked turkey on the table. The grandson asked Willie if he could taste it. Of course it wasn't kosher killed. Willie said, "Yes, you may taste it." The boy liked it and wanted some more. But his Grandfather said "No you just asked to taste it." When poultry is kosher-killed, it is usually dry picked. If the bird is stuck just right, the feathers will loosen and it can be cleaned of feathers quickly if the the bird is mature. To stick it, the turkey is hung by the legs and a long slim knife is used. I often stick them that way so that they would scald better. It was my job to do this and to do most of the scalding. One time down at Ohio State University, they wanted to demonstrate this to a meeting of the Ohio Turkey Growers. So, they had a man by the name of Mr. Beckman try it. He was a Jew and he owned the largest poultry business in central Ohio. Well, he tried it but failed to loosen the feathers. So I had a chance to do it. This I did without any trouble. The feathers just rolled off for me. You see I had been doing it on several thousand birds each year. The trick is to stick the bird's rear most part of the brain without touching the other two parts. It was a proud moment for me. 76 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/3050e8b2d2e26e99c0108e5f150cd0c8.jpg da9c781360237c3905826ae7982f1f97 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (85) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 77 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road One year after the state turkey tour was held in Delaware County, I was placed on the Ohio State Farmer's Week program. I told how we selected our breeder flock, about the alfalfa fields we grew the turkeys on, and about our sales. Eleanor was also secretary for the Ohio Turkey Growers Association. We became known by and knew a lot of turkey growers. At times, it became a lot of work. Professor Cray of the State Department of Rural Economics in charge of poultry marketing helped out. Profess Cray promoted better grower and chain grocery relationships. At one time, he arranged for several growers to sell turkeys to the chains through the Turkey association. The Turkeys were taken to Lima, Ohio to be dressed and processed. We consigned several hundred, mostly hen, turkeys. We considered it our duty to check on them. So, Eleanor, Clyde, and I went up to Lima and there set our turkeys still in the crates! It was the third day after they had been delivered. They had had no feed or water all this time. And, they were sold on dressed weight. When I talked the next winter at the turkey meeting, I told about it. I told them that if we had consigned many more we would have lost the price of a new car. This was disappointing to Mr. Cray and it had quite a future impact on that kind of deals. The next year they wanted each grower to sign a contract to give them title to all of each flock by July first. Not many fell for this scheme. We would have no control over the price, and we would have to give up our own special trade. What a deal! We were told that if we didn't do it that year we would loose this chance forever. Another such deal was offered by a Cleveland dealer. He wanted us to grow the USDA small white turkeys for him. He would pay us market price when sold. He had a large voice in determining the price. Another big deal! We quickly turned it down. We sold a good share of the turkeys alive. We were fortunate to have a go-between young man named "Petie" Aldrich from Ashley. He would come around in early fall and give us an idea of the number of turkeys and the price we might expect. He had contact with a haulers firm in Northwestern Ohio. This gave us more outlets. My folks and Donald and Lavina sold many turkeys through him. Clarence Sheets from Avon-On-The Lake also trucked turkeys. He was dependable and had good outlets and equipment. He paid for himself. 77 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/2ca8a88b23c514b2a3d0631350799496.jpg b37dda625ee556967c6efe38c25f7630 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (86) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 78 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road One time near Christmas, we sold turkeys to a trucker from Cleveland. He didn't take them before Christmas when he said he would. He finally took them after the first of the year and at a lower price. Turkey prices had fallen, and his check bounced. When we called the dealer, he would do nothing about it. The trucker was running one check behind. It was the end of hauling season, so he didn't have another load to sell and cover our check. In the meantime, we had taken the check to the bank and paid off part of the mortgage so we were put in a bind. But the bank was considerate and we straightened it out. The money came several weeks later. We also sold to Strohm's Meat Market in Delaware and trucked them to them on order, about every week in the fall and winter. He furnished "Buns" Restaurant and the Ohio Wesleyan trade. We also took some to Indian Springs poultry and they came after more for the holidays. All of these birds were weighed at our farm. Bauder's Poultry in Delaware were nice to deal with. We made sure that we had enough left for them. Ted and Gurtie did custom dressing, and were quite accommodating. We had, at both places, considerable sale of live turkeys to individuals. We got so that we could pick out to almost the exact weight they wanted. For several years, we sold turkeys to the Columbus Maennerchor Club on south High Street and in German Village. An older German lady often came to our farm down home to see the turkeys and pick some out for them. One time I had been hoeing Canadian thistles and spoke with a brogue to her about them. She said, "You should not try to destroy them for they make the best goose pasture in the world." She continued. "A pair of geese as a wedding present make the best gift of all. They provide meat for the holidays, feathers for the bed, and goose grease for the chest during illness, and also make good watchdogs for their place." An excellent idea, don't you think? We kept geese to keep foxes and raccoons out of out turkeys and chickens. They were strong fighters. They would grab the animal with their bill and flop them with the hard bony part of their wings and quickly make the animal glad to get away. We purchased our first few geese from an O. S. U. post graduate student who lived near Powell. He was doing research work in their poultry department by working with geese. Later he gave us the rest of his flock when he was taking a job in Michigan. He told us that if he did not pick them up by early fall that they were ours. All together, it made us about 30 of them. 78 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/09ed92c5f5d2a7998c57fcc3656cbfdd.jpg 99174555d4f84a79e15587aa354260e8 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

They had to be sprinkled daily. We sold some eggs to the Larue Hatchery west of Marion and a few egg to Coopers. They were the large white Emdem geese. We would like to place a pair of them on the pond sometime and let them clean out the weeds. One project more we would like to try again is to get about 50 or 100 white keats or baby guinea and grow them in confinement until they are ready to dress. Guineas are fed the same feed as turkeys or chickens. If you get them in June or July, they would be ready by November 15. They are related to the pheasant and are very similar when dressed. They will dress very white unless they have been stirred up just before the kill. We would place a turkey catching crate near the door of the brooder house , and run a few in at a time. Then we would immediately hang them up by the feet and stick them. For the hunter who shoot no pheasants, this was a good choice. We gave many away to our friends. Many others purchased them. They would be good for a specialty trade. We had very good help most of the time. High school boys helped us during the summer and after school hours. They were Bob Ballenger, George Mc Namara and George Hamby and his brother Ivan. Of course, the older man, George Glaze helped for years. Anytime during an emergency, Karl Starkey helped us. Erney Boyd cleaned out the buildings. He prided himself in the amount of work he could do each day. During the 10 years down home, we were helped by Charles and George Bowsher, Frank Williams and others. All were good help. Also, Mrs. Jonathan Davenport, Edith Starkey, and her niece from Sunbury, helped us. When we dressed turkeys. Although Lucy Scheiderer only helped in the house, she kept us going. Bob Ballinger lived with his folks up on St. Rt. 36 & 37. We would stop off from school and help feed and water the turkeys. Also, he helped load them at the time of sale. One summer when he stopped for supper, he gained 40 pounds and grew in height. He was to become over 6 feet tall while in high school. later while he was stationed in the Army in the Far East, he and his buddy from Missouri were all-star basketball players there. Later, he went to the University of Missouri and played on their varsity team. There he coached two or three teams that went to the state semi-finals. Now he is an assistant superintendent of Rolla High School and counselor in charge of discipline. George Glaze who helped us for many years, often brought his little dog with him. The little dog teamed with our Danes and caught many rats. What a sight it was to watch them work together. George would always be willing to do whatever work needed to be done. 79 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/61228fe6e35dd67f5da29300d86654e0.jpg 34eb8c54943d2ed8c0efc7f56114a94a Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (88) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 80 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road Dean and Ada Jordan worked for us for several years and lived in the little house which we build just south of our house. One time when it was snowing and sleeting and the wind was blowing, ice was freezing on the young turkeys feathers. We could not get out in the field. So Mr. Pierce, our next door neighbor on the north, brought his small John Deere tractor down. By pulling a small sled with a crate or two, at a time, we put almost 100 turkeys in a barn box stall. They were almost frozen stiff and we thought that we would lose most of them. However to our surprise, we only lost one. Turkeys have strong lungs and weak intestines. The poultry butchers and retailers at that time usually cut the turkey livers in two and gave the customer only 1/2 of it. They did this for two reason: First, the turkey livers at that time often had some spots on them from blackhead, so they had to dispose of them. Second, the good livers that were left over they sold as goose livers at a much higher price! Most of the public was not aware of this. We never sold a dressed turkey that we would not have eaten ourselves. Although we handled a lot of them, we never lost our appetite for turkey. Eleanor roasted many for the church suppers, fairground's tents, family meals and just for everyday. I have also roasted many. We had a system that is a little different than most. Often we set the oven at 275 degrees and left them in overnight, or, at 325 degrees and kept the lid on the roaster, except for placing the dressing in and around it. We never took the lid off them until the time was up. No basting of sticking with a fork to see if it was done. This would let the moisture out. We greased the outside of the breast and salted it both inside and out. Then we covered it with celery leaves to give it a good flavor. Eleanor also rubbed in a little sage and poultry seasoning on her turkeys. We don't believe that the self basting as advertised now days is necessary if you have a plump turkey to start with. The fresh dressed unbasted turkey is hard to find now. Adding fat and moisture is just a way to make a profit. Eleanor and others have cooked a frying sized turkey in the summer. It is good, but I prefer an older bird. We also have served smoked turkey. The meat was removed from the bones and spread out on the skin. After that smoked salt was spread on it and worked in. Then it was rolled up and tied with a cord. It made a roll about 4 inches in diameter and over a foot long. After roasting, this was often served cold. 80 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/9a953d9fa7c2ce0b143f278ffdbff3e4.jpg ae79be1a1cbd9824adb74bca6246317d Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

We used a lantern before we had an electric light. When we milked early morning or late at night. Soon after that the cows were fed. We had about 8 or 10 head. This made the cows quite content While we for breakfast went. We then returned with pails and strainer pads And placed them on a 10 gallon can we had. We washed off the cows each udder and teat. While the cats lined up for the treat. They lined up passed the gutter, Each fighting for a place, one in front of the other. Then we wiped off the cows with some paper. Each cat on its hind legs doing it caper. Then we would squirt some milk into their mouths. Directly to them from the cows. They got the milk all over the face, Also, we would get it all over the place. We would set the milk can in water for it to cool. We took a gallon to the house, it was the rule. This was placed in a crock in the cellarway overnight. Next morning, the cream was raised just right. This was put in a bowl to make some butter, Whipped cream, buttermilk, pancakes or other. This part was done by our mother. We used a lot of milk in our diet, Our life was good, I think you should try it. illustration of a woman standing next to a cow 81 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/9487bfe739ee9fd4a47593c6db23b166.jpg cf25e190fd8ba8726a1660c3e0a67042 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (90) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 82 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road Quote: The little boy said, "Mommy does chocolate milk come from brown cows?" The first cow we ever owned ourselves was a small red one, Eleanor's father gave it to us when we moved in 1943. She was a good family cow, but, she taught herself to open gates and sliding doors with her head. She did it even while we watched. One morning she woke us up by standing with her front feet on our front porch and bawling to wake us up. She was never hard to get back in. She was a pet. My Dad had Jerseys in the 20's. They were registered and tested for production. He started by buying a good looking heifer from Joe Smart near Westerville. She was a large Jersey and made a butterfat record of around 700 lbs. She had 8 calves, seven heifers and one bull. she was a good show animal. Dad took her to the Westerville Street Fair and while she was there she placed first in the young heifer class. Later the judge called for her in the grand champion class, but, Dad had already taken her home! It was getting chore time. One time as I was leading her six month old bull calf out to be tied for the day, he almost got me down. I didn't use a staff but held onto the ring in his nose. He put his head down and before I realized it he was charging me. Well, it was all I could do to hold on to him with both hands and finally got his nose up and snapped a long chain on it and moved away. I should have used a staff. It was dangerous. That is why I didn't like Jerseys. Out of the seven heifers that "Bright Eyes" had, only one proved to be above average. She was sired by "Princess Emma's Son" at the Hartman Stock Farm just south of Columbus. She was state champion producer of milk and butterfat at that time. I didn't care for the Holsteins because they were too hard to handle. Many of the cows were kickers and too big and stout to handle. The bulls became cross at a very young age. Well, it's about time to call the Brown Swiss in from the pasture. So, "Come Boss, Come Boss, Come Boss, Come Bossy, Come boss, Come Boss!" this was the song I sang to the cows each night. They would march up to the barn swinging their tails to the rhythm of my song. The neighbors enjoyed having me call them and said so. My daughter missed it when when we sold them all. 82 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/dc305d3280ada4ef9ced717e824d8250.jpg aaf5b5e7b42325ef558b99e80de44ad3 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (91) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 83 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road We purchased a 1400 lb. Brown Swiss heifer from Mr. Burke who lived part way toward Westerville. Her name was Heidi and had come from Pennsylvania. She was solid brown in color. She was Mr. Burke's boy's 4-H & FFA project until he entered medical college. She was well broken for lead or show. One year, she was judged as Grand Champion cow at the Delaware County Fair. We purchased at a Brown Swiss Sale, a large heifer and a nervous short legged cow. This cow had a sister that was hard to handle. The person who bought her had to use a long hay rope to get her in his truck. She went wild! This was unusual for Swiss. I placed mine, Irene, in a stanchion so that I had to walk by her several times each day. As I walk by her I would jump at her and yell, then, pet her. With this treatment, she soon calmed down and later she became used to sudden movements and loud noises and was much less nervous and easier to handle. The heifer I purchased turned out to be a still larger one. Susan was my best long life producer and a good milker. Her calves were equally good. I didn't realize her value. We later had the herd classified and she never classified less than very good. One of her daughter's, Leona, went excellent after I had sold her to Dr. McKitrick for $600. I was never able to breed her and after her first calf, he wasn't either. For years, the Ohio Brown Swiss Association held a sale at the Delaware County Fairgrounds. Eleanor and I attended as usual. After we bought a very young calf, I went home to get the truck and told Eleanor to buy a cow to feed the calf. So she purchased a very thin light brown one which we called "Whitey". The owner had lost his barn by fire and needed to sell some cows before winter. Well, Whitey produced plenty of milk but she had been re-breed to soon. She wasn't dry a month before she came fresh again. All of this contributed to the honor of us having the top producing small herd in Delaware County for the year, and it ranked well in the state. All of this was made before artificial insemination became popular. The contribution of "Jane of Vernon" to the Brown Swiss breed became the greatest asset of any animal to the Brown Swiss or any other breed. Her impact was enormous and her production records have held through the years. 83 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/ed637081237707cf17dea903ab062ee4.jpg fd3248f68dc53567c706cf4909a8e2b5 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (92) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 84 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road Twenty Ohio Brown Swiss Breeders Incorporated and purchased a Brown Swiss Bull by "Jane". He was called "Colonel Harry." They paid $20,000 for him. It was a giant step forward. Serum storage and artificial insemination came into common use. They sold his serum for $80 each. They were used it a lot in Ohio but were sent worldwide, also. After one generation, the question was where do we go next? It turned out that a cross using a bull from "Jane, the 3rd" or Jane, the 4th" was the best. From "Jane, the 3rd," they had length, extreme dairy type, but, they lacked depth. From "Jane, the 4th" the daughters had more depth, plenty of body, and good food capacity. "Colonel Harry" and a bull from "Jane, the 4th" produced the best offspring. Again, the question was where do they go form here? I takes years to establish a new blood line and one that will pass on good traits. One September, we took the pickup truck with stock racks and went to a mideastern Pennsylvania farm's Brown Swiss sale. They had had a barn fire so that was their reason for the sale. They had many cattle all ages and sizes. We paid $200 for a two to three hundred pound heifer calf and brought her home. She was already broken to led. She was a very tame calf. We called her "Jane". The folks who live over by the pond enjoyed her too. (See the chapter on "The Pond".) About 10 days later, we went to a sale in Kentucky about 10 miles south of Cincinnati. They had a pen of nearly a dozen very young calves. One looked outstanding to me. I could go and come back and spot him quickly. He was broad across the front and stood on his strong legs with his head up and alert. So, I purchased him and another bull calf. The larger calf we fed for about one and one half years. When we sold him, he was over 1800 lbs.! He was still tame and easy to handle. I wish I had made a bull robe of his hide. While we were at the sale, they sold a young Brown Swiss cow and a beautiful golden calf. She had been artificially bred to s Seminal bull which had produced the color. Seminal are often used on young heifers, because the calves are born small but grew rapidly. We thought later that we should had purchased her and the calf. 84 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/917f42ab9283bfdb9f3441adb0cb59b4.jpg a0019b8a0149e69f9b557931e45b74b1 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (93) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 85 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road After selling the Swiss, we fed and pastured small bunches of beef calves. Once, we went to a sale and bought some holstein bull calves. We purchased them at 200 or 300 lbs. each. We sold 4 or 5 of them by the pound and got one or two of them butchered to put in the freezer. They are the ones that usually make money. One year, we purchased some half shorthorn with one- eighth angus and three-eights hereford. They were trucked in from North of Kilborne. There were 4 bulls and one heifer. We kept the heifer after selling and butchering the other four. They kept getting out! We lost money. The heifer later had a pure white bull calf which was blind. We had the veterinarian treat it twice but it died, even though John had fed "Snowball" several times a day. We did get a picture of him. Of course, when we sere sending milk into the Columbus area, we were under inspection. We didn't have much trouble keeping the bacteria down. When we quit sending the count it was was about 100! The inspector looked at our barn and demanded that I seal the bottom of the hay mow over the top of where we carried the milk through to the milk house. I told him that if he still had me do it I would, but, I wanted him to what we did back of the barn! We had just poured $240 worth of concrete. Then I told him that we drank the milk ourselves and we didn't drink milk with traces of manure in it and that we preferred alfalfa leaves to cow's manure! He said, "I guess a little common sense goes a long way. He never had us seal in the haymow. We were using a milking machine at the time. After we quit sending milk and had notified the Board of Health, the inspector came around again. He gave us a bad report, saying we had dust over everything. He was about to turn us off. Eleanor and I saw him up to the Hamburger Inn. Eleanor enjoyed telling him off. "He had trespassed", so she said. "He couldn't collect his $7 inspection fee. He had no business there and for him to stay off of our property in the future." Ha! Ha! All of the farm folks enjoyed it! 85 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/6baf08ec00fcc188bcd9bad74682eef3.jpg d78d00f1c9404a3f4e586f14ad7124ac Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Weren't used on a tractor or a combine. But the farmer used them when he had a small breakdown. And he didn't have any time to go to town, And his wife refused to go that day, So if in the field he wanted to stay, That is when he used his brain. Because he thought it was going to rain. And produced an idea that would yield. A quick repair right there in the field. He used a stretch strap in the place of a spring. To repatch a bearing, he put grease on a string. He used bailing wire to repair a break. He put on plenty for old times sake. This just tapped the surface as far as uses go. The more the farmer used them the more used he would know. And he saved many trips to and fro. Sometimes the repaired items would last over a year. He was proud of himself, that was clear. Later he would trade them off or sell them for junk. And save himself quite a hunk. Don't you think he had a lot of spunk? illustration of a ball of binder twine, baling wire, stretch straps 86 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/63cfc15daccfe05f2adb5c80d888ee20.jpg 74f543d1aca775327f9687cffacaf781 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (95) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 87 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road Years ago on Johnnycake Road, the crops that we grew were: corn, wheat, oats, barley, and rye. Also, timothy, clover, and bluegrass were grown. Most of these were fed on the farm. All of the corn was open pollinated. They included, Clarage, Johnson County, White, Bloody Butcher, Indian Corn, Logan White, and Lancaster White. Most of these varieties were subject to stalk breakage, corn borer and weak shanks, which caused ear dropping. Most of the farmers saved their own seed. They shelled it by hand, discarding the butt and tip kernels. One of the early corn planters was the Case followed by John Deere and others. In the 1920's the corn was planted in "checked hills". The corn planter used a wire with knots about 40 inches apart. Thus, it could be cultivated both ways using one row cultivators drawn by 2 horses. The cultivators with shifting gangs were operated by foot power. Later International came out with their regular Farmall, with a shifting 2 row cultivator hooked up to the steering wheel. It was front mounted and lifted by hand levers. It did an excellent job. I bought it with money earned when I worked for the county the previous summer. It was the second tractor sold in Delaware County. This was in 1927. It was an excellent tractor. We used this tractor for almost 10 years and traded it for an F-30, 3 plow, on rubber. The Farmers' Exchange resold it several times. Each time the new owner said, "If a tractor like that is still in good shape, we want a new one like it." I had changed its oil regularly, and used 50 pounds of grease on it each year. Also, I replaced the cylinder sleeves several times. Most of the farmers were familiar with the old Fordson tractor. So they didn't realize the extra pulling power of the Farmall. For instance, I could, when plowing for them, set the plow any depth they wanted. It didn't bother the tractor at all. It seemed to enjoy it. I also used it on the old Ajax silage chopper and blower. The motor had the main ball bearing that were guaranteed for the life of the tractor. Thus, we could set it on the side of a hill, something you could not do with the old Fordson. The Farmall had a large belt pulley and plenty of lugging power. Some farmers grew very tall corn for silage. With two men on the wagon, they tried to chock it up. but, the men gave up and slowed down. It was a new experience for them. They wouldn't have tried it if it had been pulled by steam. 87 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/eeea2c966cd79055a5a59f0692b99c9b.jpg 8082b1116f4b265342c54cf7b61b5ff9 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (96) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 88 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road I later purchased an WD Allis Chalmers. This company was one of the first to use new ideas. This model and later ones had a separate clutch and lever for operating the power takeoff. This was a great convenience when using it to pull equipment such as a binder or later the combine. You could stop the forward movement and allow the equipment to run and clean out, or allowed it to run when using the corn picker or mower. Later, we purchased an Allis Chalmers WD-45 used tractor. We still have it over 35 years later. We also have an Allis Chalmers D-17 which is 24 years old that we bought new, an Allis Chalmers D-17, Series 4 which we got at an auction, and an Allis Chalmers 185 which we bought sight unseen and is about 10 years old. The last four tractors are still giving us good service. We bought the 185 and a Gleaner combine with a corn head in January of 1985. Now I'll tell about Hybrid corn. Pioneer was a pioneer in the breeding and production of the early hybrids along with the various state university and experiment stations. Henry Wallace from Iowa led it as an individual. In Ohio, Antioch College had the first seed available. How well I remember when our neighbor, John Ryant , purchased a bushel of Pioneer 311A and he didn't want to tell anyone until he saw how it was doing. One day toward fall, he took me back to see it. It looked wonderful with its tall straight stalks and mostly two long slim ears on each stalk. The open pollinated corn had broken stocks and had dropped part of its ears. We were ready for hybrid seed for the next year! Later, I became a Pioneer seed dealer. Pioneer's 311A was widely used from Iowa to Michigan, Kentucky and Pennsylvania and the states in between for many years. It was still in demand for as long as it was available. Some new varieties out yield it in black low ground. I was a three way cross. Other popular numbers were 939, which was a high yielder but it dropped its large ears. W-17 had a large cob which made it a slow dryer. U.S. 13 was used mostly for silage as was P313A. P322 had smooth well-shaped kernels and was a high yielder. P. 315 had a small stock, large ears and was a good show corn. 88 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/1795f9cf87d485da256e4ea46821b8b0.jpg fb80db8ba72c2e1842ccfdfd09e97941 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

We feed corn to the horse, sheep and cow, The poultry, calf, and also sow. We humans use corn to cook and eat. Corn on the cob that is known as sweet. All steamed or roasted in the husk. Covering it with butter and salt is a must. Scalloped corn is allowed to bake. At the same time as the johnnycake. From the can or dried, we love to partake. Popped or parched we like to chew. Or eat with an apple before the evening is through. When we have company, we pass it around, too. The corn we grew was cut and shocked and brought in by sledding. It was husked near the barn so the husks could be used for bedding. Husking bees that we had in the barn brought lots of joy, And when a red ear was found a girl got kissed by a boy. To be born with a habit is a hoax, Especially if the habit is for telling corny jokes. illustration of cornbread, popped corn, corn whiskey, corn, johnnycakes, corn meal 89 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/d49f78f1287e72f7ae91d303d872d625.jpg 82e18de60345bab907e62200048b83e9 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (98) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 90 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road Soybeans in the 1920's were usually put up for hay. They had to be left in the field until the stems were dry. They were cut before the beans were well formed in the pod but, the plant when used had its full growth. This was usually in August. Mainly it was harvested at this time because labor was plentiful. Sometimes, before the field combine, they were threshed. It was a dirty job, but it was necessary to have some for seed to to plant. The soybean is high in protein. This made soybeans very useful for livestock and poultry feed. The oil was extracted leaving a meal. This process has improved the bean so that it can be used for human consumption. The oil replaced butter in a large way. Ebony, a black bean with a large tall plant, was the main one used for hay. Lincoln was very similar. Wilson was a good all-purpose bean. Manchu was a yellow bean that didn't grow as tall, but was easier to harvest. The modern soybean was first developed in China. One summer, Clois Smith helped me put soybean hay in the mow. It was still a little damp. But, he laid it out in layers and salted it. It was the best soybean hay we ever had. The cows left only a few stems. These made good bedding for them. One farmer, Darold Dulin, fed the stems to young colts. They cleaned them all up. Several minor crops as well as hay were grown. An oats crop was grown by almost every farmer. It made a good "nurse" crop for new seedlings and excellent feed for all livestock. It could be planted and harvested when other work was slack. But, it was occasionally damaged by heavy rains at harvest time. The best crop we ever had was lost that way. Rye made good hog feed but could not be fed to poultry. The straw was extra good for plow down. It improved the tilth and added maximum humus to the soil. Rye was a good clay ground-crop. Barley had limited use. It was a good crop to plant before winter wheat which is planted in early September for it was harvested soon enough to plow the ground for wheat. But, the heavy beards of barley made it mean to handle. It produced a fair yield. Most of the hay crops have been discussed in previous chapters. 90 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/b7ac33a30802856a8b8c408db3434bce.jpg 6917b7d54853134901ecd1f17c9e7245 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

This makes an easy and economical way to harvest a crop. Rape sorghum was used once as an emergency crop. It can be planted in the middle of the summer. You could just sow the seed on top of the ground and disk it in. Many varieties of wheat were sown. I remember Butler, Senica, Trumble, and Logan. They were the old standard varieties. When the new hybrids and crossbreeds came along, the farmer sowed less seed per acre. It produced less plants, but the yield increased by 20 or more bushels per acre. The straw was short and therefore not damaged by storms. More fertilizer could be used. Nitrogen could be increased. Fall spraying for weeds and liquid fertilizer and spring spraying of more nitrogen worked well. Quack grass can be controlled by the use of "Round up". All of the above are used now. Yields of 60 or 70 bushels per acre are not uncommon. illustration of bread, flour and paste 91 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/cd3feb07a872faae25717a7e6369d76c.jpg beaad0891790e5e1d09f6ab05b19df91 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

But at that time of year it won't grow very tall. By early November, it will cover the ground And a freeze will make it turn light brown. But in the winter, it will continue to grow. In spite of the cold weather and the covering of snow. Early in the spring, it will start to come out. When the ground is thawed and the farmers are about. It starts to head out by the middle of June. You don't see them at first, but all at once you will see them soon. Then they wave and ripple in the field. At this time, the farmer can appraise the yield. There is no more beautiful sight than a field of wheat. For the farmer and the birds, it is time to chew or eat. Made into chewing gum, it is quite a treat. Around the 4th of July, we cut and bundled the wheat. And placed it in shocks to shed the rain. They looked so neat. The wheat was thrashed and put in bags to be carried to the bin. There the bags were emptied and that was when, The wheat was spread out nice and level. We threw it around like a little devil. We hauled it to the miller near by, where, It is screened and sifted with the utmost care. The finest flour was used for angel food cake. But mostly it was used for the breads and pastries which we bake. Lunches packed with sandwiches to eat. When eaten at school, there was no better treat. From the straw, they made this and that. Like new door mats and many different kinds of straw hat. Whether well or sick. It was always nice to sleep on a fresh straw tick. It was used at communion with the breaking of bread, And with the other things before us spread. When the Lord's Prayer was said, In unison, "Give us our daily bread." We were held together by God's strong thread. 92 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/35c1c0945b71fc1cb8c9f50750bdcf29.jpg 2c4573e8d506ceaf0f6aa9e363fed781 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

He was a friend of many a man. As he made his way through America's pioneer land. As he planted the seed for apple trees. For man and beast and honey bees. Some folks said he was a little tetched, But by him all mankind was blessed. In Louis Brumfield' s book, "The Pleasent Valley" He was travelling down a different alley, Than most folks who worked for a meaningful gain, Who used their brawn and also brain. Brumfield's great aunt had known Johnny well, And had many stories of him to tell. She was part Indian herself, Her love for nature was her wealth. She called Louis and his dad, "A little tetched," To them at that time seemed far-fetched. But later when he had grown, He was proud of this name for him was known. illustration of Johnny Appleseed 94 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/6f97d826d54378e159fa2361988bbcb4.jpg a9ec3b2fa7bbb75c1984d28a9c2f87d6 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (103) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 95 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road A Quaker saying: "All are queer, except me and thee, but even thou are a little bit queer." In Pleasant Valley on Malabar Farm, the land had been rented for years. The grain was sold. No livestock was kept. Nothing was put back on the land. It was run down, both land and buildings. Much of the topsoil had washed away. Lots of timber was cut and large gullies had washed in the hillside. The ground became bare. The fields were left without cover during the winter. The operators wanted to farm for just the quick cash they could get from it, with no thought of what they were leaving, which was nothing for the next generations to follow. When Louis' father came, he started to raise cattle. Pastures were fenced. Manure was returned to the land. Fertilizer was used. Clover and other legumes were planted. Gullies were filled. The woods were cleared of briers and other underbrush. The part that was let for timber was not pastured, and new desirable trees were planted. General improvement was speeded up. He also served on many committees, all for no money. He supported the schools and churches. In short, he and his family and co-workers did many things without pay. His investment was large. Many thought he would go bankrupt. They began to think that Louis was tetched in the head. In our own family we have done many things. Helping youth and older folks by hauling them around. For example, I was a 4H leader for over 20 years. Some of the Berlin Bears' activities included taking them on camping trips and viewing their projects. Once I got up at 4 o'clock in the morning to plow corn so we could spend the day with 4-H. Eleanor often furnished refreshments. I played kid's games, running and jumping with them, and took them swimming even after I was fifty. Maybe people thought we were a little bit queer. My daughter's family developed a historical village, making apple butter and conducting tours. This was even done by four year old, Beth. They also helped the Defiance County youth drama group. The entire family helped making costumes, painting the background, setting up the stage, doing make-up and prompting, working stage lights, and controlling the sound. This developed talent even for the handicapped. All of this and much more was done, with little or no pay. They must be a little tetched. Our own local farms show signs of the land losing its fertility, where much has been sold off and not replaced. The natural resources have lost their value, and the water has become contaminated. 95 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/b8f02e73d826cc48b3621a18c8d642e5.jpg 0c7c9008206014058938541f4c8e149a Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Now we see more improvement. More buildings have been repaired and painted or town down. The land is producing more. There are less acres of beans planted in the same field year after year. all of this is done at an extra expense. Many young farmers are going broke. Bankruptcy sales have been more frequent, because banks are refusing credit. All of this is hitting families so hard that they will never recover. They lose their motivation. They too must be a little tetched. Rev. Alton E. Lowe was a minister and former head of the Methodist Home Mission Board for many years. He had an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from the Denver University. He knew many people, young and old, rich and poor, well known or little known, educated or not, laborers or professional; he could talk with them all. He was interested in them. He would ask questions of them and listened to them. He made friends with everybody. He didn't have to do this! Was he a little bit tetched? Bishop Thomas E. Aquinas, perhaps the world's greatest educator often gave this advice. Quote: "If you want to bring a person over to your point of view, don't shout across the room at him, but go across the room, stand beside him and assume his position and talk to him. Then take him by the hand gently and lead him over to your side." Most people would say that if he met him halfway, he had gone far enough. Was he a little tetched? We are proud to be a little tetched, if it means a better land with waving fields of golden grain, keeping America rich and strong; helping us feed the world. Maybe all of us are a little bit TETCHED. 96 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/aeb44070b3addcf6f689b3249aeecfd4.jpg 41524b3472d082110bd4297fc51b6b6c Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

And what is left may look quite small, You may have to pay estimated tax in spring, summer, and, fall. If by April 15th, you don't have enough. You may still have to pay from off the cuff. On Schedule "B", know what you are about. For IRS has a printout. You must list your personal loans, As well as the interest from building and loans. And all the banks from which you receive it. Add them up carefully, keep them straight. IRS says that it's a common mistake. List all the dividends that you get. When you do, be sure not to forget. The capital gains and the nontaxable. By doing this you are able, To say to yourself, "What do you know, honey?" "Sometimes, it saves a bunch of money!" On the front page goes the total of these. List all of the interest if you please!

A bull, boar, or maybe a sow. Anything you have purchased sometime ago, And you now decide to let it go. Now, if it shows a profit, You will pay tax on only a part of it. This you will plainly see, Why you should use Schedule "D". If from an oil lease or a rental, money you receive. You should place it on a Schedule "E". There you can take the expenses from it. And the depreciation before you figure the profit. From there you include the amount, The profit or loss where it will count. On Schedule "F" for the main, You list the produce and the grain. Also, the other income from the farm. Now, the total rings an alarm. For the expenses, be sure you have all. That you and your spouse can recall. Have the bills to back them up. Just in case you are called up. Have all the checks that you can find, For interest and feed that you grind. Be sure to include the cost of labor. The sum you paid your wife and neighbor.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (108) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 100 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road Quote: "Nothing is more certain than death and taxes." - Ben Franklin Eleanor started doing income tax at the Delaware County Extension Office when the Federal tax started. Later, she did our own and several others at home, free of charge. In 1967, she studied under H & R Block at Columbus. The course was conducted by Jim Pratt and a tax lawyer by the name of Tom Osley. Later, she opened a tax office in Delaware. She was very good at it. The next year Jim Pratt had her open an office in Westerville. The next year, Block decided to open another in Sunbury because they wanted someone to specialize in farm returns. Block already had one in the southwest corner of Columbus. I took the course and started to help her at that time. It turned out to be the best farm tax office in the district. Eleanor and I went to many district meetings and helped with a class many times. She taught in Newark, Zanesville, Delaware, Marion, and Mansfield as well as Sunbury. Peg Burkey helped us in Sunbury. She became very good at it. Later, we sold the Block office to her in Sunbury and took our business to our home. We did as many as 750 returns per year in Sunbury. But under doctor's orders, we cut back to about 150 at our home. Most were farm returns. I did about 60 and Eleanor did about 90. We checked each other's returns and ran them off on our copying machine. We enjoyed meeting the people and being able to help them. I don't know how she did it but she did all 150 or 160 of them when I was in the hospital. That in was in 1984. Now, that the kids are living near, they help out by checking and running the returns. Our daughter took the course with us at the tax school and she and Rick took the course this fall. Eleanor is one of the few consultants who can do taxes for foreign workers. She had one customer who teaches school across the waters and returns in June or July. Thus, along with that and estimated forms to make out, she has some business the year round. Also, some people go to Florida and send in enough estimated tax to cover their tax so that they can file for extension of time and complete their tax returns when they return to Ohio. A tax preparer must sign every return along with the firm's name, address, social security number, date and I.Q. number. A preparer number is what the I.R.S. looks at when considering the tax preparer's reputation. Most of us have a number which we can call to answer questions or get help to solve a tax problem. Either the Columbus or Cincinnati tax office make information available to the caller. 100 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/3695c2dc8e1ecb8ec7e817d6a4339be8.jpg b60f2ecb4d64de97e0742cd137572c48 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (109) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 101 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road Most contacts come after the forms and money are sent in. Sometimes we hear from the city or state government. Once a Mr. & Mrs. Johnson from Johnstown, Ohio got a very threatening letter form I.R.S. They wanted to take over their farm and bank account. Mrs. Johnson worked in the Johnstown Rubber Factory and already had withholding and FICA taken from her wages. It was correctly sent in and reported. Well, Eleanor called the I.R.S. in Columbus and they argued with her and finally transferred her to Cincinnati. There they tried to give her the same run around. They had the wrong social security number and didn't want to admit it. But, Eleanor had Mrs. Johnson's Social Security number on her returns for the past 7 years. Eleanor told them in no uncertain terms, to get her return off of the computer and into some persons hands and correct it. They did and Mr. and Mrs. Johnson got their refund for overpayment. The I.R.S. had mixed up her social security number with another Mrs. Johnson form another town. Theresa Edelblute sold her nursing home in Westerville and moved to Columbus. She cut down on the number of patients to one or two. Eleanor still did her tax reports. The city of Columbus didn't believe that she would be cutting down so fast on her business all at once. So they got in touch with her and wanted to charge her more. Also, the business of the sale of the nursing home and other income was involved. Eleanor called up the Columbus tax office and a man talked to her on the phone and accused her of not reporting all of Theresa's income. Of course, that set up an argument. Finally, she heard Jim Pratt's voice in the background and said, "Ask Mr. Prat if I am not a square shooter." The man said "How did you know that it was Jim?" Mr. Pratt told them to forget all about it. You see, Mr. Pratt started Eleanor in the tax offices for H & R Block. Eleanor makes out several partnership returns using Form 1065. She has helped to set them up and straighten them out when they were started wrong. However, she does not try to do any corporation returns. Virginia and I have helped do some parts of them. 101 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/0eed37bab315c8e490503dbc429ae993.jpg c43421a7fb503de56fa522d1157843a3 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (110) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 102 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road Many farmer's have huge investments of as much as several hundreds of thousands of dollars or more in land and equipment. Some years, they have very large losses. Maybe they have sold more than one crop in one year. It may look like they owe I.R.S. more than they have money to pay for it. We have been able to cut the tax, by taking investment credit, depreciation, income averaging, or by using the carry back loss forms and bringing some profits and losses forward to be used again to wipe out the profit of this year. Investment credit can be carried forward from previous year's reports. Sometimes all of this will bring them a refund. Also, we have been able to reduce and get a refund back for them by giving them child care credit when man and wife were both working. As we sat in our enclosed front office and do tax returns, we note the winter going quickly and the spring returning when the birds returned. The snow comes and goes. The ice leaves the pond, flowers begin to bloom, and the trees leaf out. We have not time to go to a warmer climate. There is work to be done. It's time to mow the lawn, crops need to be put in, and the garden needs to be made. Soon it will be summer, time for picnics, swimming, and play and time to be in the great outdoors. illustration of bird's nest with eggs and flowers 102 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/868ea495b8cd016b6faceef3c19f8390.jpg 3942660fd121ee2ca2e8ae24516707e7 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

After washing and grooming each with care. They had a lamb, a calf, or a cow. A pig, a chicken, or perhaps a sow. They won blue ribbons or perhaps red. Which they would pin to the halter on the animal's head. But, the top prize was for beef. When the judge awarded it, the kids found relief. For the parents were watching too. The whole crowd clapped when the judging was through. Some kids joined the FFA. And found more laurels along the way. From green hand members to OSU. Some became star farmers before they were through. Before each meeting they had some fun . Playing games or just to run. Once a year they held a tour of projects to see. On a date they all could agree. Other went along to inspect, And take pictures of each project. Our tour lasted most all of the day. It took a while to see every display. We went all day, but stopped for lunch. The Berlin Bears were a very tired bunch. illustration of 4-H clover 103 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/fa14b80e35ccf2bd98d1722fa0ccf0de.jpg 74066e8c8b538749c4c416b1d3dfa60b Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (112) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 104 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road Quote - "Kids learn by doing" Very few 4-H kids get into trouble either as kids or after they are grown, nor do they have many domestic problems. Their families stick together. This holds over to the next generation. Once a kid learns to do something that he likes and gets to do and gets praise for it, the harder he will work. 4-Hers learn to seek more responsibility. They like to have something that is strictly their own. Much has been written about the 4-H kids in previous chapters. But, I want to write about some individual accomplishments. There is enough that could be written to make a book about each. I will try to mention a few. Many will be left out I am sure. Many have married 4-H partners. Most of them worked together for life. I remember how interested Glenny Lackey was in everything that was said at each 4-H meeting and how well he looked after his Jersey project. He did well at each county and state fairs. He later became national FFA. He graduated from OSU in agriculture and spoke at many agricultural meetings. After helping his father at home for a while, he married. His bride was Lola Mae. Her parents had a farm southeast of Columbus near Canal Winchester. They had a good sized herd of Jerseys. In a few years, Columbus was building up in that area. Land became too valuable to farm. So, they sold out and purchased a farm in Athens county about 12 miles east of Athens, in the hills overlooking some very rich low ground and containing over 1200 acres. There was a lot of work to be done. Brush and trees had to be cleared and land had to be improved. It was quite a challenge. In the meantime, Glenny and Lola Mae had four children, three boys and one girl. They now have 6 grandchildren. All of these grew up on their farm. They sing at many church services. They have come back and sang in our church, just like the Lackey family used to do. They could put on a whole program without a book! Glenny's older brother, Allen, also graduated from OSU Agriculture College. He worked for the USDA until retirement. Then he and his wife, Esther Jean, purchased a farm near his brother. It didn't have as many acres but it was a desirable location with a little longer growing season than Delaware County has for crops and pasture. They, too, had several children and grandchildren. They also took part in community affairs. Ester Jean was schooled in home economics. They had a very successful life. 104 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/31badc5c16317243a890a539594cdb69.jpg b7e0464447511df34d381dbf2d0aba4a Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Silos were filled and many acres of alfalfa and mixed hay were harvested. They were some of the first to use the large round bales and do no-till farming. Now, Glenny and family are in charge of an experimental operation trying to raise pigs to market in 3 months. Ohio Department of Agriculture build a large multiple storied building on their place. It is a project followed by the media and others as it is of national interest. Their farm, family, and projects have been on national TV. Over on Gregory Rd. lived two Cox boys, Eddie and Bradley. They had a sister, Julia. She was in the girl's club. She won many blue ribbons in making her own clothes and modeling them. She was tops in the county and state fair competition. Her dresses were shown in the Berlin Hearty Workers booth at the Delaware County Fair and they usually received top awards. Her daughters are doing the same. I have always enjoyed hearing them sing at the West Berlin Church. They have been on radio several times. Eddie Cox had a Guernsey heifer for a 4-H project. He also helped keep their lawn and garden trim and neat. Bradley planted and took good care of an outstanding garden. I never saw a weed in it. The vegetables were excellent. He took many prizes in the Delaware Junior Fair display. Both boys are married and have kids of their own. Bradley is a school superintendent and Eddie has a good job. All three of Alice and Garner Cox's children promised their mother that they would continue to go and help support their West Berlin Presbyterian Church. North of them on the same road lived an older boy, Floyd Rolland Griffith. His project was shorthorn cattle. He had several head. His uncle had raised that kind for years. They were outstanding with beautiful long roan coats of hair. They could withstand the cold weather like their ancestors did in Scotland. While at home he was over 6 feet tall and made the All County High School Basketball team. Later he made OSU freshman basketball team. After farming their good farm for a few years, Floyd Rolland went to Michigan. There he is in charge of a bank. He too has raised a family. He is another example of a very successful 4-H kid. Eddie Taylor had a a Guernsey cattle project while he was in the Berlin Bears 4-H Club. He married a local girl by the name of Patty Beardsley. They moved to a farm southwest of Columbus near Washington C.H. They raised a nice family who were schooled. He is an agricultural advisor for a large bank. His father, Dwight, lived with them until he died. 105 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/a9d6556dcb5ab504063c48a140e900be.jpg 788aa67f961bbfa977d8884ebafffe92 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (114) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 106 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road Harold McNamara, a former Berlin Bear, married and raised several children on his mother's place southwest of Delaware. He farmed several hundred acres and milked many Holstein cows. His family helped to do it. The children were good students. His wife played the organ for the Hyatts church. George and Gladys Stith's two boys, Jesse and Lawrence, were 4-H kids. They each are married and raised a family and schooled them. They both had good jobs. Their father, George helped with the 4-H. He drove his car and went with us down along the Muskingham River and on other trips, Tommy Taylor was on this trip. We stopped at the state park and Tommy and I swam across the river and back. It was tiring and we should not have tried it. I didn't have my lifesaving training at that time. Most of Ed McNamara' kids were in our Berlin Bears 4-H Club. They had Jersey calves and Red pigs. We often met there. We were always welcome. The kids were George, Pat, Jim, Florence Catherine, Kathleen, Rosemary, Steve, Bill, and Janey. All became good family members and held good jobs or became good mothers. George became head of the ASCS office for Wyandot County near Upper Sandusky. He took good care of our turkeys while we went to Arizona. He worked for us while he was in high school. Steve has the same kind of job except it is in Ashland County. Bill is stationed at Ft. Washington and is about to retire from the armed services. Pat works for North American Aviation, in Columbus. One of the 4-H kids who belonged to the Berlin Bears, while Charley Johnson was leader and I helped out was Don Devault. He later went to one of the Delaware Clubs and one of the Delaware schools. He helped George Dix. He later became an auctioneer and owns a real estate service. Delaware County was known worldwide for its Percheron horses. George Dix took many blue ribbons and trophies at the state and international events. George owned the great sire Don Degas which was imported from France. Also, he raised Don Again, a sire of equal fame. Also, Ralph Humes who lived in Stratford just south of Delaware, showed many Percherons. But also he had an unique use for them. When the drug penicillin was first discovered, it was found on the mold on the urine of pregnant mares. Through the cooperation of OSU, Mr. Humes found a way to trap and save it. He had many mares. This operation helped pioneer the way so that the doctors could use it to save many lives. 106 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/a4e013eacf31f6b93e93e83809b97c08.jpg 3eff0f85dc8a7009d60e2c279de745ca Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (115) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 107 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road At one of the meetings when we had about 40 boys and 6 girls, I said, "Boys, don't you think it's about time for us to initiate the girls?" And by golly they said , "Yes!" So we blindfolded the girl and had them stand up front, facing the front row of seats. Next, we quietly had six boys sit down with a shoe and sock off and hold their barefoot near each girls face. Then we placed salt on Dixie ice cream cups and had each girl lick one. Next, the blindfolds were removed and they gazed at the barefoot! They were now full fledged members of the Berlin Bears. Now, one of these boys was Calvin Bailey the first black boy in U.S.A. to belong to a 4-H club. His sister, Cuma Bailey, joined the Berlin Hearty Workers at about the same time. We often had local farmers speak to them at our meetings. One time John Ryant, owner of Johnnycake Farms and nationally known as a Mareno sheep breeder, gave a talk on showing sheep. It was very good. He mentioned about how the dairy show cows were allowed to be shown without being milked when they should have been. They would ve dripping milk. He said, "They should be shown in their natural state." He thought all animals should be shown that way. One kid in the back asked, "Why then do you blacken the outside of your sheep?" John set down quickly on that! Another time we had Zack Davis and his wife talk to the kids. He was the third generation in the seed business. they told about production and selling of seeds. They had a small farm northeast of Delaware and grew sunflowers and sweet corn and other garden seeds, under inspection. Zack, also tested seeds and placed his seal on them. One late summer while on tour, the Berlin Bears visited Willard and Anna Shank and Nettie and Charley Everetts. They were neighbors in Cheshire. They took many blue ribbons with their vegetables at the county fair. Their gardens were beautiful, neat, and bountiful. My, how much the older folks enjoyed showing and talking about their wonderful tomatoes melons, etc.! Sometimes we don't know what we are missing by not talking to the older folks with such experiance. Family members involved in 4-H with me were Virginia, who showed Brown Swiss cattle, Allen and Barbara Shade, who showed Jersey cattle, and Max Griffith who showed steers. Virginia and Barbara had to join the boys club because only boys club members were allowed to show livestock. Their leadership training helped them became the leaders they are today. Allen is a successful doctor who delivered quintuplets in Cincinnati a few years ago. Virginia, Max, and Barbara became teachers. 107 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/dc4de58ecc8e4e28183e42f3f198bfc2.jpg b5dd2a489aaba1c20e765eb339120bb6 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Younger members included several of Ed. McNamara's children. The band played and marched in front of the grandstand at the Ohio State Fair wearing 4-H Tee shirts and green skirts or trousers. Later, the McNamaras formed the McNamara Band which played at churches, Granges, and school activities.

And when she set them down, they cried: "Give me molasses first. Written in Intensive Care by Ed. Griffith February, 1984 Three Little Country Boys At The One Room School Three little country boys went to a one room school. They all drank from the same tin cup, Save those who came with a folding cup. They shared an apple by cutting it up. And gave the teacher one of the pieces which they had cut up. Three little country boys at the one room school. Were sent to the blackboard to write, Where they squeaked their chalk with all their might. They listened to each of the classes recite. Which gave the younger ones an overall insight. Three little country boys at the one room school, As a rule they walked slowly to get to school. But, ran fast to get home. Some had chores to do like milking old Roan. Some had a bicycle or a pony to ride. But, most of them ran side by side. Three little country boys at the one room school, Often in winter to school were late, When at the run they stopped to skate, According to the clock that hung on the wall. Sometimes by late fall, just before the first big snow fall. When the snow was deep and would easily pack. Many snowballs were made, enough to stack. They would roll snow up to make a fort. And hide behind it as a last resort. The hard ones they threw at the other fort. 109 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/bd0be107f308ecc5c8b9bff2ce1fa4aa.jpg afdac440db54dcf4f54674d3c70f33f6 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

She did it by ringing the large school bell. Sometimes we would dip girl's hair in our inkwell. Weren't we devils, hoping no one would tell? There little country boys at the school with one room. They swept the floor with an old fashioned broom. They hung the coats in a very tall cloak cupboard. They cleaned the erasers and scrubbed the blackboard. After shaking down the stove they cleaned out the ashes. The ashes went the out house to hold down the smell & control the splashes. Many little boys went to a one room school. But, they continued to study on their own. Like Thomas Edison and Harvey Firestone. Like Henry Ford who made the "Flivver", Like Robert Fulton who put the steam boat on the river, Benjamin Franklin, and Eli Whitney who made the cotton gin, And, all those who went west our land to win.

Our daughter especially remembers the time when she graduated from high school. Her Grandpa Griffith had died just a short time before. During commencement, one chair remained empty all evening. It was the chair which sat beside her grandmother, even though the room was full. We thinks that it was meant for Grandpa! Later during the reception at our house, there was an empty chair near Uncle Earl, his brother. It remained empty all evening. Our house was so crowded that many sat on our stairsteps in order to find a seat while refreshments were being served. When our first grandson was born, he had to be held many hours out of each day. If he was put down flat he would have chocked to death. Virginia, Dick, and Dick's mother, Eva Helwig , traded off. But, Dick had to go to work and Grandma Helwig returned home. Virginia took care of Rick as long as she could take. To help out, Aunt Mima, (Eleanor's sister) flew in from the East to relieve her. Rick has always been since that time someone special to Aunt Mima. We remember a lady who managed a nursing home at the south side of Westerville. It was a large brick home located in a grove of large trees. She loved her work, taking care of older women. Theresa Edelblute was a very kind and capable person, although she did not have much formal education. She always remembered their birthdays and holidays with something special for each one. We first met her when Eleanor had a tax office in Westerville. She didn't drive, but, they were within walking distance apart. She needed to have someone keep books and work her income tax. She was very honest and generous. Theresa was a joy to be around. Another fine lady whom we knew was Ruth Crawford. She took care of my mother until she died in 1966. She like Theresa, owned a large 2 story brick house. She was also, very kind and considerate. She was an Licensed Practical Nurse. I can remember the dinners she served for the whole family on our mother's birthday and other special occasions. Just before night, my mother would say "Ruth, if you will bring me some ice cream, I will go right to sleep!" She did and our mother went right to sleep. 111 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/2c11b0f3dc17024ef698b5ae7bd7a259.jpg 12ea23e59d9e99b4d1250fc82c308972 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (120) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 112 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road I remember how well Rev. Sue Ann and Peter Elencovf visited people in the hospital and at home when they were sick, while she was pastor at our church. When I was in Grady Hospital in 1984, she visited me often. Later, when I was home, she and Peter visited me often. When Melvin Green was very sick, many times during the week before he died, she and Peter helped Melvin to the bathroom and even stayed all night. She said, "She felt that a minister's duty extended beyond their usual duties as a pastor. Just like an ordinary church members obligations extend beyond their regular job." Their friendliness to all in need was quite evident. One winter, when a man and his family from Scotland was staying at the Alum Creek State Park Campground, their boy became quite ill. She and Peter found a warm home for them. The kids were soon in school. A neighbor kept the children nearly a year. The man stayed in the basement of the parsonage until he could get a regular job. It was hard to get because he spoke very little English and our government could not help because they were not U.S. citizens. I can remember several close calls we had. One time when we were going up to Sandusky to see the kids and were about halfway there, the roads were covered with ice. I started to turn on the main road just as a big semi trailer was directly in front of us. I started to go under the middle of it. I saw that by just turning the wheel or using the brakes we would just slide right under it. So I spun the wheel like I used to do on the old Farmall regular on steel. This did it as the front wheels must have hit a little stone and the car righted itself. After it did this, of course, it sent it too far and was headed for the ditch on the other side. So, I spun the wheel back the other way and the car came back. Of course, we drove very slowly the rest of the way. Back in 1916, after we had been up to Lake Michigan, we were coming home from Toledo and driving past the oil wells near Findley. Dad was looking over in the fields and he got too close to the edge of the road. It was a steep bank as the road had been built up because the ground was flat. Well, Dad drove out in the field and back onto the road without stopping. We were lucky for a little farther on the ditches were 20 feet deep on either side. 112 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/af19d98cef69c705af0481de65fda253.jpg acd12513ce82167f51fbfda489f9c4e8 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (121) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 113 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road I have been very fortunate, surviving several heart attacks and an open heart surgery. I have had several attacks over the pasted 40 years. My hardest attack happened January 25, 1984. They took me in at Grady Intensive Care Center for 6 days. I stayed in the hospital a total of 12 days at that time. I remember when a nurse asked me if I knew my name and where I was. While I was still in intensive care, I asked for a pencil and paper. She must have thought that I wanted to write my will, but, I wrote the poem "The Little Country Boys," instead. I went into Riverside Methodist Hospital and on June 25, 1985, I had open heart surgery. They said that my heart was deteriorating fast. Before they got through, they gave me quadruple bypass. They took the large veins out of my left leg and used them to repair my heart. Each time I was in the hospital I remember having a good time showing my poems and telling about what I was writing in my book to the staff. My surgeon Dr. McVickers, enjoyed them, too. I have special memories about when Virginia was in an automobile accident when she was coming home from 4-H Camp Ohio. She didn't think that she was hurt very much, but she banged her head very hard. Later, when she started to Ohio Wesleyan University, she passed out and couldn't remember many things. Dick helped her to classes and carried her up and down stairs. We soon found out that she had to have an operation on her head. The doctor went into her spinal column and with air broke up a blood clot. The doctor told us just before performing it that she might come out as a little child and she might have to be taken care of the rest of her life. After Ginny and Dick were married and they were both teaching in the Sandusky schools, one of her young students noticed her stumbling on the school steps. She was a doctor's daughter, and she told her dad. The doctor had just returned from a medical convention. There he had heard of something new that might help Virginia's case. He had her come to the office and he gave her a shot at the back of her skull. Not long after that she had a tremendous pain in her bad leg. The doctor told her that was what he wanted to hear, for the shot was working. This made her better in many ways. They had been married 7 years before they had their first child, Rick. 113 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/49c91dac06a8d22148edc94c692e60d3.jpg e3e0147e680aabea99d14f2b3a47bbd5 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (122) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 114 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road Soon after John was born they lived near Defiance. He developed a very high fever. The only doctor that they knew well at that time was one who was with Dick on the North-South Skirmsih team together, shooting their old muskets. "Doctor Fran" told them to bring him right in. They did so. John was allergic to penicillin and his high fever would soon damage the brain. Well, "Dr. Fran" also had come from a medical convention and had learned about a new drug that would control a fever like John's. It worked and took his fever down very fast. We often wonder, "How lucky can we get?" This we will never forget. I remember when Doctor Ihle sent Eleanor into the hospital for a tumor. They did the surgery but after sending me to Bernard Griffith's for the night she had trouble. Dr. Ihle left specific orders not to lay her bed down flat. One of the nurses didn't read the chart. Soon Eleanor passed out. She couldn't lay flat because of her heart condition. Soon several other nurses and the Sister Superior were at her bedside and corrected the situation. The nurse who didn't read the chart was in trouble. You see until this day, she has to sleep propped up in bed or in a chair. Just a few years ago, Virginia developed scurvy, a disease seldom found in modern days. It was often found on sailors who had spent many days on the sea without Vitamin C. Virginia had taken some medicine to reduce the pain of arthritis. Later she found out that it drained over 500 units of Vitamin C from her system daily. Her bones began to get out of shape and her teeth didn't set right right in her jaw. But, she kept right on teaching! The problem could have been quickly solved if she could have drank plenty of orange juice or other citrus fruits. But, she was very allergic to them and would break out both inside and out. A doctor in Toledo found that if she ate six or seven tomatoes, four cups of spinich, and plenty of tomato juice daily , it would give her plenty of Vitamin C. So within a few weeks, she was over it. My special memories continue building up as my granddaughter, Beth comes almost every evening to see me. We have a big deal each time deciding what to do if we should find a bedbug. After we have decided what to do with one if we found one, we would yell, "That'll fix them!" 114 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/04218f2a4a4161cd14dc5b60fcb89fb6.jpg 897aebb0268d2d88754fdd1b3971d1c9 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Dad would get out his fiddle and tune every string While playing it, he would begin to sing, "Hang up the baby's stockings. Don't you dare forget! For the dear little dimpled darling has never seen Christmas yet." He sang and played many songs While Mother on the organ would chord. About the birth of our Savior Jesus and coming of the Lord. We went to Grandma McWilliam's on Christmas Day. We bundled up and drove the horse all the way. I still remember the silver in the tall square glass And the salt cellars at each plate. Other things we had to pass. We had sweet potatoes and big slices of ham Along with Irish potatoes and sometimes a yam. For desert we had a three layer cake and two kinds of pie. They thought we were sick if we passed them by. After dinner Uncle Ed went up stairs, a nap to take. And old Santa came before he would awake. A few years later under the bed, we found some toys. This took some of the mystery of Christmas from us boys. It removed from us some of the joys With Cedar boughs, popcorn balls, and popcorn strung on a cord. We celebrated Christmas and the birth of our Lord. May the coming season bring you much cheer. With a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. from Ed and Eleanor Griffith Christmas 1986 illustration of Christmas window scene 115 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/138feced9bcfe7ad4eb0bae7b17ba161.jpg 9237ad763751d7759de369a914a734be Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

All of my life I've enjoyed listening to poetry recited or read by my mother. My brother, Pete (Donald) and I enjoy writing and sharing poetry with our families and friends on special occasions. In this chapter I want to share some of these with the reader. To Eleanor On Our Anniversary We have been married since 1933. My how lucky can two people be! With Virginia, our daughter, it made us three. You were given six months to live over fifty years ago. You have hoed to the end of a long hard row. Through thick and thin with a grin, You have managed somehow with a special spirit within. Your love for others came back to repay. And help us out along the way. Your love and help for me each day. May God bless you for this I pray. One more thing I want to say, Thanks for the encouragement you have given me each day. Our anniversaries now are fifty-four, and we look forward to having a few more.

We found one there which we bought. A very small one , a sample that fit. And a sparkle in your eyes was again relit. I remember on our first date, We went to swim in Robbins Lake. We used the rings and also the slide. We were wet to the hide. From that time on, we saw each other. And during that summer there wasn't another. On New Years Day we were married And over the threshold you were carried. Virginia was born in 1934 on the second of May. This is part of my memories yet today. To Eleanor from Ed on her Birthday July 30, 1987 To Eleanor on Valentine's Day Goodness, Gracious, Sakes Alive, Sometime this summer, you'll be 75, And I will soon be seventy-eight.

While you were in Intensive Care, Your many friends offered a prayer. Now you are in room 302 We are glad that you are better, too. Now you can sit up in a chair, And soon you will be out in the air. It gives us joy beyond compare! Soon we will take you home, And then each day your hair we'll comb. We will build a fire and make a stew, Wait on you the whole day through. You will have forever chased the blues, When you can write The Sunbury News.

We are doing fine and are O.K. Here are some things I want to say. Carol with horse is headed Ohio way. September the 10th, on a Wednesday. Tim has been down so we could see. Another look at his car. So he could be Out for a drive in the country. He came over and talked to Eleanor and me. Your Dad and Rick are making shelves for books. It will give more room and change the looks, Of the hall and your mother's bedroom. In the center of it, you will have more room soon, To run the sweeper and use the broom. So when you get home it will make you grin. But, to get through the hall, you will have to be thin. We would love to go out New Mexico way. But, it looks to us like we will have to stay. We love the letters that we get from you. We read them over, through and through. So, for the present they will have to do. I am sending with this letter a $20 bill. Please send 2 more books, if you will. I think that that will fill the bill For the places for them it will fill. We misplaced one and we haven't found it still. I took my syrup that was sugar free, And went to the pancake supper and had my tea! Several people were interested in my syrup So they could go home and build their supply up. Because they had to avoid sugar like me. I am sending some poems for you to read. And am surprised at my self to succeed. In making you laugh at this homey creed.

And they liked each other too. They decided that together they would paddle their matrimonial canoe. Virginia graduated from Berlin and Dick from Maumee. By chance they were brought together under a tree. Near Sulphur spring My what a friendship that did bring. Their birthdays were only 10 days apart. I suppose that had something to do with the attraction of the heart. They were married on August 29, 1954. Like may others who went before. Most of Virginias relations attended, there were quite a few. And, her OWU suite mates were there too. Dick Helwig's folks had a very long ride They came to see the knot was securely tied. With our only child I walked down the aisle. I held the tears back and forced a smile. I gave her away along with my wife. From that time on there would be a great change in our life. Just as the great young oak started from the small acorn. Several years later Rick, John, and Beth were born. Grandma and Grandpa then tooted their horn. They move acrossed the road when we were ill indeed. And took care of our every need. Here now they paddle their matrimonial canoe. And adding work and fun to life while they are doing it too. And so we wish them many more years of happiness And many more years of matrimonial bliss. While they paddle across their matrimonial sea. May God's love forever over see, from the wonderful powers that be.

When a little boy went to the bathroom in front of the stool, He wet his pants from crotch to cuff. And said "Teacher, I didn't sticked it out far enough!" A Little Girl's Puppy A little girl came to school one day. And, when the children went out to play, She told the kids about her puppy. How they took it to the veterinary. Who placed it in "Neutral" so it could be, Out in the country running free. 121 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/875d81220715cae584d1c98df7a8a56f.jpg 32b0543a97eae81829378f2e3e52ca0c Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource 77 Years on Johnnycake Road (130) Description An account of the resource Corresponds to page 122 of 77 Years on Johnnycake Road Chewing Tobacco "Tobacco is a filthy weed, some people used to say, Perhaps, those folks never used it in their day. Some thought it was very good, Others never really understood, And thought how can a person be so rude, To chew it like it was their food. In the country store was a pot-bellied stove shaped like a balloon, And near it on the floor was a copper spittoon. To this day I still remember it, Covered all over with tobacco spit. As they gathered each day, it was very soon, That they saw how far away they could hit the spittoon. Many of them chewed the brand, Beach Nut, But some chewed the leaf, they dried in their hut. Some chewed Star Tobacco, sold in a plug, Others chewed Red Mule. It took an expert to hit the mug, While sitting on the distant stool. Others chewed cigars, starting from the butt. Some played checkers part of the time, And spit more tobacco juice upon the line. Some ate crackers together with cheese, And chewed tobacco at the same time with ease. Then took another chaw to face the breeze. When riding to church in my Sunday best, To hear the preacher and to be blessed, At time I got tobacco juice on my vest, The driver when having to spit Leaned out the car, but not very far, And it blew back on you, whereever you'd sit. The men at the church used a spittoon with much precision, Or used a tin can with much discretion. To learn when someone was chewing was quite remote, For they just let the juice go down their throat. And a few men sat in the "Amen" Corner, While chewing tobacco with dignity and honor. And for the ladies, the use of snuff, Was more appropriate than the powder puff. They put put tobacco on a deep cut, Until it was sealed shut. When garden bugs were found, It was then they used it in the ground. Now, tobacco is not a filthy weed, But, this much I shall concede. It is how they use it, I do believe, Like wiping the spit upon your sleeve. 122 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/87a4e3debca02d38811261170e43168a.jpg 4e211b228086064890d6fe66de18b5d4 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Four of them boys; of girls, there were seven, Eight of them are left, three are in heaven. As they grew, some traveled afar. They did many things but, none ran a bar. They oftn wrote letters to keep in touch, A banker, a merchant, salesman, and such A minister's wife, teacher, farmers, and housewives, Each learning to cope with stress in their lives. Now they are together after 57 years To tell of their lives and shed a few tears, And hear familiar voices that recall the past. My, how can those years travel so fast!

I don't know why but it seems to be true. Of course, people attend more things, too. I guess when snow and ice are on the ground, We don't travel much around. We wear the heaviest clothing that can be found. We don't expose ourselves to sudden changes And we eat meals from our kitchen ranges. August I think that summer is on the wain For the wind seldom moves the weather vane. We hear the muffled sounds of a distant train And the fireflies are blinking over the terrain. The days are hot, and I must find the shade somehow. And at night pull the covers toward by brow. The horseflies are biting the family cow. Dog days are here just about now. Summer is over this time of year. And signs of Autumn will soon be near. The corn is filling out the ear. All speak of a change in the atmosphere. The frogs don't croak like they did And soon we will hear the katydid. The young birds are hopping and soon will bid Farewell before winter clamps on its lid. The sounds of the evening are quite still Save for the call of the whip-poor-will As it flies somewhere over the hill And the ripple of the water in the rill. Eleanor, will note the changing leaves this coming fall. And for the the Sunbury News she will tell it all. I think that there are several reasons Why everyone needs some change of seasons. 124 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/5c0780a934593963e97d9de4e80fc3fd.jpg e0a1319ef043dc1387bf2e320a9d0403 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The sun is warm in midday, But also, autumn is on its way. A hint of frost is in the air, But a killing frost is rare. A lot of folks are holding their county fair. The corn husks are turning brown, The grass is growing less around. The process of drying will soon begin, It's time to clean out each storage bin. We will have some rain at equinox, And a chicken will be eaten by a fox. We can hardly believe that it's so, But a young rooster is starting to crow. The turkey is strutting like he owns the place. Soon the holidays, he will have to face. The new colt is running around, Did you see how quickly is covering ground? Still, September is one of the best., It's a month to be enjoyed along with the rest.

And you don't feel well enough to go for a walk, It is nice to have someone with you, even if they don't say anything much Except to note about the weather, whether cold or hot or such. When things are awful quiet and you want to take a nap. It is nice to have a teddy bear a laying on you lap. The kind that if you squeeze him, he will let out a little squeek. And the next thing you know you have had a little sleep. Or you can look out of the window to see what you can see. Snow, rain, or sunshine, or watch a birdie in a tree. But . . . All of this is better when you have some company. This is needed to refresh your memory, Of the things that happened while you were very young and free. So, when you feel lonesome and all alone. Just pick up your fountain pen or perhaps your telephone. illustration of a Teddy bear 129 http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/72e000d8187e195c072234ea16aaae72.jpg 9bd3e1d690b0bbdb0d31765f0aba1618 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

VIRGINIA HELWIG, teacher, adviser, willing worker and friend will enter Noble's first grade room today for the last time as its teacher. She is resigning and with her family will be moving back to the farm. Home to Mrs. Helwig had always been the farm on which she spent her childhood; the home of her parents located near Delaware, Ohio. Here the Helwigs have a country home that sits beside a pond: a pond that tempts one to stop work relax a while and enjoy the countryside. Mrs. Helwig has been a first grade teacher at Noble School since 1968. She was hired by the Northeastern School District in the fall of 1967, with her first assignment being remedial reading classes at the Tiffin School. The Helwig Family is a family of achievers. Mrs. Helwig is a super teacher;her husband, Richard Helwig is a professor at Northwest Technical College; eldest son Richard (Rick), attends Defiance College and will soon re- ceive a degree in math education; second son, John, will graduate from Northwest Technical College on June 10 with a degree in audio- visual; and the youngest, Elizabeth (Beth), will graduate from Defiance High School on June 3, and will attend Otterbein College, Westerville, Ohio, in the fall. Involved and active in many areas at school and in the community, Mrs. Helwig has super- vised such activities as Right-To-Read Week, a Wheel of Pennies for the Easter Seal foun- dation, field Day activities, Academic A- Fairs, school carnivals, etc. She has always been a staunch supporter and conscientious worker of the Noble P. T. O. The entire Helwig family was involved in all the past productions of The Young People's Theatre Guild. Mr. and Mrs. Helwig were members of the original founders committee for AuGlaize Village. Space is too limited to list all of the commitments of this wonder- ful family. We'll miss you in so many ways, Ginny. You and your family have been a part of our lives for many years. Now we can only wish you the best of luck and much happiness back home. photo of Helwig Residence, complete with pond Address: The Helwigs 1750 S. 3B's and K Rd.

Description An account of the resource [page 7] [corresponds to unnumbered page labeled HISTORICAL SKETCH OF DELAWARE COUNTY, OHIO] HISTORICAL SKETCH OF DELAWARE COUNTY, OHIO Compiled from Authentic Sources, for the Delaware County Atlas, By CHARLES MORTIMER JANES. ORIGIN. Delaware County forms a portion of what was originally termed "Liberty," extending from Ross County to Lake Erie, and including Franklin, Marion, Sandusky, and other counties. It was separated from Franklin County, February 10th, 1808. Its name is derived from the "Delaware Indians," the true name of which is Wa-be-nugh-ka, which signifies "from the east,"or "sun rising." INDIANS. The principal tribes were the Delaware, Sandusky, Taw-way, Mingoes, Shawnees, and Wyandots. John Johnston says, "The tradition of the Delawares among themselves is, that they originally, at some very remote period, emigrated from the west, crossed the Mississippi, and ascended the Ohio river until they reached the Delaware river, near where Philadelphia now stands, where they settled. They became very numerous. They welcomed to the New World the Quaker law-giver, and friend of the red man, William Penn. They always cherished a grateful memory of Penn and his followers. Speaking of good men, they would say, Wa-she-a E-le-ne, all good men are Quakers. Bockinghelas was the principal chief of the Delawares for many years. He was a distinguished warrior, and lived to a great age. Killbuck, another chief, was educated at Princeton College, and, until his death, retained the morality of the Gospel." In the present city of Delaware were two Indian Villages belonging to this tribe. One at the east end of William street, the other at the west end. In the latter, on Delaware Run, occurred a fight between the Delaware and Shawnees,-the former being surprised and defeated by the latter. On the site of the county-seat the Delawares cultivated 400 acres of corn. In 1820, eighty Delawares lived near Sandusky, and two-thousand, three hundred of the same tribe in Indiana. In 1825, persons from this tribe, born and raised within thirty miles of Philadelphia, moved west of the Mississippi. The Mingoes had a small village four miles above Delaware City, on "Horse-Shoe Bot- tom." They also cultivated corn. Many traces of the Indians remain. In their mounds are found specimens of domestic implements, crockery, &c., implements of war and well preserved bones, with many other indications of their skill in handicraft and their curious notions of burial. Several remains of ancient fortifications are still to be seen--the most remarkable of which is in Liberty township, on the east bank of the Olentangy, eleven miles from Delaware and four miles from Worthington. It is to be regretted that many of the pioneers cherished inveterate hatred towards the redskins, and did not consider it criminal to even murder them. They were generally bad men, however, and did not prosper. <strong> WHITE SETTLEMENTS, PIONEERS, INCIDENTS, ETC.</strong> The first white settlement in Delaware county was made in Liberty township, May 1st, 1801, by Captain Nathan Carpenter, Avery Powers, Jr., and Thomas Power, from Chenango County, N Y. Captain Carpenter brought his family with him, and built the first cabin, near the site of which the residence of Hiram Carpenter, Esq.--one of the finest in the county--now stands. In April, 1802, Thomas Cellar with Josiah McKinney joined this settlement, from Frank- lin county, Pa. In the spring of 1804 Aaron, John and Ebenezer Welch, with Capt. Leonard Monroe, settled in this neighborhood, from Chenango, N. Y. One of these Welch brothers was the first white man buried in Delaware county. Jeremiah Gillies, of Liberty, claims to be the first white child born in this county. He was born August 7th, 1803. In 1804, Capt. Carpenter built the first mill where the woolen factory of James Hinkle now stands. It was a saw-mill, with a small pair of "nigger head" stones attached, for grist mill. It was a great help to the settlers. Henry Perry made a clearing in Radnor township, in the fall of 1803, near Delhi. He came from Wales. Returning to Philadelphia for the remainder of his family, he left his two little boys, nine and eleven years old, respectively, at his cabin in the wilderness. Finding his wife sick, and being sick himself afterwards, he did not return until the following June to his Western home. These two little pioneers remained during this entire winter along, fifteen miles from a white settlement, and surrounded by Indians. Their food consisted of rabbits which they caught, turnips, and, occasionally, some corn meal which they obtained in the Car- penter settlement, by following down the "Indian trail." "The winter was a severe one, and their cabin was open, having neither fireplace, chim- ney, nor 'chinking and daubing.' They had no gun, and were unused to forest life, being fresh from Wales; yet the little boys struggled through, and actually made considerable clearing." In the fall of 1804, Col. Byxbee settled east of Alum Creek, naming the colony Berkshire, in honor of his former residence, Berkshire, Massachusetts. David, Isaac, and Chester Lewis made the first settlement in Berlin, in 1805. Rev. J.C. Lewis, now of Washington, D.C., was the first white born in this colony. Before the Indian War, the Wyandots had encampments here. They were friendly. Asa Scott and Philo Hoadley joined the settlement, with their families, in 1807. [column two] Roswell Caulkins, John Lewis, Samuel Adams, Jonathan Thomson, with their families and others, came in 1809. This settlement was all "Yankee,"--coming from Connecticut. It grew in numbers and strength, and made preparations for the expected encroachments of the British and Indians. The settlers built a blockhouse, into which they all fled during the shades of night, emerging, and engaging in peaceful pursuits by day. The "blockhouse" stood, until recently, a pioneer relic. It is a source of regret that this noble structure was not re-roofed, and preserved as a landmark for future generations. This settlement shared in Drake's Stampede. After the War of 1812, Indians were never seen here. With the pioneers at Berkshire, Berlin formed a company of militia. The officer that ordered this company "to arms" after "Drake's skedaddle," swam Alum Creek on his horse, there being no bridge, and the flood raging. David Lewis packed a peck of sale from Chilicothe on his back, (he went down-stream in a canoe, starting on alum Creek,) and when nearly home, he fell in a brook in crossing, and lost nearly all his precious burden. Other settlements soon followed. One at Norton, by William Drake and Nathaniel Wyatt, and one at Westfield, now in Morrow county. A blockhouse was built at Norton. The county seat was laid out, in 1808, by Col. Moses Byxbee and Hon. Henry Baldwin, of Pittsburg, who had purchased several thousand acres of land. They sold the lots at the uniform price of thirty dollars each, the purchaser taking his choice. The first cabin was built by Joseph Barber, in 1807. It stood near the sulphur spring. It was made of poles, Indian fashion, fifteen feet square. In it he kept tavern. The principal settlers were Byxbee, Lamb, Little, Drake, (Baptist preacher,) Smith, Butler, and Carpenter. In the spring of 1808, Moses Byxbee built the first frame house, on William street. In the ensuing fall, Elder Jacob Drake built a brick house on Winter street. Being unable to get but one mason, his wife laid the inside walls. A bank was opened in 1812. The town was incorporated and the court house built in 1815. The first paper was published, in 1818, by Rev. Jacob Drake and Rev. Jos. S. Hughs. The Methodists commenced the erection of a church edifice in 1823. It was not finished for several years. The same building now serves as a market house. The Presbyterians and Epis- copalians built churches, in 1825 on the sites on which their present beautiful structures were reared in 1845. The Lutheran church was built in 1835, the Second Presbyterian, in 1844, and the William Street Methodist, in 1846. In the same year in which the county seat was laid out, 1808, the county was organized and its officers elected. The contest for county seat was between its present site and the village of Berkshire. It has been continued with considerable zeal, from time to time, since. The following county officers were the first elected:-- COMMISSIONERS--Avery Powers, John Welch,Ezekiel Brown TREASURER--Rev. Jacob Drake. RECORDER--Dr. Reuben Lamb. SURVEYOR--Azariah Root. The officers of the court were:-- PRESIDENT--Judge Belt, Chilicothe. ASSOCIATE JUDGES--Josiah McKinney, Thomas Brown, Moses Byxbee. PROSECUTING ATTORNEY--Ralph Osborne. SHERIFF--Solomon Smith. CLERK--Moses Byxbee, Jr. The first session was held in the cabin before noticed, near the spring. The grand jury sat under a tree and the petit jury on another part of the lot, while the constable guarded them. During the Indian War this was a border county, but was never invaded. It furnished a company of cavalry, and several companies of infantry were at different times called out. After Hull's surrender, Capt. William Drake formed a company of rangers in the north- ern part of the county, to assist in protecting the northern frontier from marauding bands of Indians. When Sandusky was threatened, he marched to the rescue. The captain, desirous of testing the courage of his command, on the first night of encampment, when his men were wrapt in slumber, slipped into the adjoining bushes, fired his gun, and rushed towards camp, yelling, "Indians!--Indians!!" The sentinels took the alarm, and ran to quarters; the men sprang to their feet, and the courageous tried to form for battle. But a lieutenant--depending more on legs than arms--took to the woods. To his imagination, every sound was full of Indians. Taking the moon as his guide, which had reached the western horizon, he reached Radnor at daybreak, bareheaded and afright. He brought startling news. "The captain and his band were massacred and put to the scalping-knife!" The settlers, frightened and horrified, began immediate flight. Each carried the news to his neighbor, and, at sunrise, they passed through Delaware in wagons, on horseback, and afoot. News was conveyed to the other settlements, and joined the "skedaddle." One family named Penry drove so fast that they bounced a little boy out of their wagon, not missing him until six miles on their way. Then, in the imminent peril, they yielded him a sacrifice to the savages. He still lives. A mother in her haste forgot her babe. She returned, caught a stick of wood from the chimney-corner, leaving the fearless infant still asleep. A man at Worthington caught an ox for a horse, and did not see his mistake until he found the horns. Many of the people fled to Franklinton and Chilicothe. Some never returned. Capt. Drake and his men proceeded to execute the duty assigned them, unconscious of the panic in the rear.

Jacob Foust carried a bushel of wheat on his back to Zanesville, and returned carrying the flour in the same way. Capt. John Winter became famous for a ter- consists rible struggle with a bear, in which he nearly succmbed. The pioneers lived in a state of perfect social equality--no aristocratic notions of caste, rank, or office were felt. The only demarkation was between the civil, and actual offenders. Their meetings were for raising, log-rollings, huskings, weddings, singing-schools, and religious devotions. Their amusements were "frolics," gaming, gymnastic evolutions, and convivial meetings of the young. In these sports and meetings there was no punctilious formality or aping the styles of modern Paris. The rich and poor dressed alike. The men wore buckskin pants and hunting-shirts, and the women were attired in coarse, homemade fabrics. Such was their common dress. If a damsel sought her bridal attire, she aspired to calico. Silks, satins, hoops, and flummery--which now burden the slender frame, and empty our pockets-- were never dreamed of. Household furniture was equally simple. Bedsteads were frequently original, consisting of forked sticks driven in the ground, and poles to support the cord or clap-boards. One pot, fryingpan, and teakettle comprised the cooking utensils. Sometimes only one fire-proof vessel answered for culinary purposes--firstly, to try lard in; secondly, to fry cakes in the fat; thirdly to bake shortcake in; fourthly, to draw water in; fifthly, to boil potatoes in, and, lastly, to make tea in. A few plates, on a shelf in the corner, satisfied the demand for china, and food relished from puncheon tables. Some had splint bottom chairs--generally, stools and benches were the only sofas. Whiskey toddy was sufficient luxury for parties, and venison and corn pone supplied the place of pastry. Wood sorrel was used for rhubarb--in pies. The woods abounded in wild hogs, honey, and occasionally bruin tickeled the palate of the hunter. Flour could not be obtained nearer than Chilicothe and Zanesville for a long time. Goods were high and freights enormous. They were packed on mules from Detroit, or wagoned from Philadelphia to Pittsburg, thence down the Ohio river in flatboats to the Scioto, and then packed or hauled up. Tea retailed at two and three dollars per pound; coffee, at seventy-five cents; salt, at six dollars per bushel; whiskey, at one to two dollars per gallon; calicos, at one dollar per yard. It was a common practice to set a bottle of whiskey on each end of the counter for customers, to enable them to purchase freely. In this particular, that generation was wiser than the present. GEOGRAPHY. Delaware county occupies a central portion of the State of Ohio, lying on both sides of the Scioto river, one hundred and fifty miles from its mouth. The entire surface of the county consists of four beautiful valleys, watered by the Walnut and Alum creeks and the Olentangy and Scioto rivers with their numerous tributaries, and the ridges which rise in gentle undulations into fine table lands between the streams. The valleys consist in most part of bottom lands, which amply repay the husbandman's toil. Frequently the banks of the streams rise precipitously on either side, forming the most romantic scenery. The table lands are adapted to all kinds of agriculture. This county is twenty miles in extent from north to south, and twenty-five from east to west,and contains an area of about five hundred square miles. It is divided into eighteen townships. Bennington, Harmony, Lincoln, Peru, and Westfield townships formerly belonged to Delaware, but now form a part of Morrow. Portions of Marlborough, Radnor, and Thompson belong to Marion. Delaware county is bounded north by Marion and Morrow, east by Knox and Licking, south by Franklin, and west by Union. Table showing the Population of Delaware County, Ohio, by Townships, for Six Decades. See Table on Image *No subdivisions by townships were returned in censuses of 1810 and 1820. The amounts in those two columns represent entire county. AGRICULTURE Is the leading pursuit--four-fifths of the population being engaged in it. Half a century has made startling developments in this county in this branch of industry. Only three-fifths of the actual surface is under cultivation. Large sections have until recently yielded nothing to agri- culture. Much still lies in wilderness or in backward improvement. Wheat is raised exten- sively. Sixteen bushels per acre is the average. Corn is the principal crop. Fifty to sixty- five bushels is the average yield. It is mostly fed to cattle and hogs in the county. Average price, thirty-five cents. Oats, hay, seeds, fruits and potatoes are extensively raised. Sheep [column two] are increasing in numbers, with decided improvement in character of the flocks. Jonathan Dyer, of Genoa township, claims to be the first importer to this county of fine wool sheep. Cattle are making rapid improvement in number and quality. Horses, very fine. Crossed with the Bellefounder, Morgan, Norman, prevailing. Farming implements, improving. The "Agri- cultural Society," nearly twenty years old, is in a prosperous condition. INTERNAL WORKS. Two railroads quarter the county: the Springfield, Mount Vernon and Pittsburg extend- ing from west to east, and the Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati, from north to south, through the entire county, intersecting at the seat of government. Other highways are in a high state of improvement. McAdamized or gravelled pikes, leading from the county seat, are in process of completion, while others are contemplated. Bridges cross the principal fords--beautiful structures, built at the expense of the county. Our county is well supplied with mills; proba- bably, not less than fifty running by steam and water power may be counted. We have one paper mill, foundry, oil mill, rope and cordage factory, and flax mill, each extensive. There are several extensive flouring steam and water mills, woolen factories, carding machines, &c. Other mechanical establishments--manufactories of ploughs, rakes, harness, sash, window blinds, saddlery, baskets, brooms; shoe shops, blacksmith, silversmith, dentistry rooms, &c., are found in all parts of the county. Some of our mercantile houses are on an extensive and fashionable scale. We have several fine commodious hotels. Among them, the "American House," Dela- ware, ranks as the most extensive. In the south-western part of the county, on the western bank of the Scioto river, are located the Ohio White Sulphur Springs. Under the name of Hart's Springs, this place has been known, for its mineral waters, for twenty years. It has been more recently extensively improved. The geographical position, accessibility by railroad, and the medicinal value of the waters, point out this place as a large valetudinary and fashion- able resort for the American people. RELIGION AND EDUCATION. These twin sisters of civilization have made rapid strides, co-extensive with the surface and growth of the county; but not entirely commensurate with the ability and needs of its inhabitants. Churches and school houses, those lights of life so common throughout the realms of freedom, deck hill, valley, grove, and town. Common-schools have not reached that state of perfection which the liberal and beneficent system by which they exist inculcates. The Ohio Wesleyan University and the Ohio Wesleyan Female College, among the most flourishing lite- rary institutions of the West, are situated at the county seat. Thus is afforded to our sons and daughters the opportunity of treading, at home, the halls of scientific and classical lore. Many having availed themselves of privileges here offered, occupy honorable and learned positions in society. The Religious societies most noted in point of numbers and influence are, the Method- ist, Presbyterian, Baptist, Congregational, and United Brethren. Others, Lutheran, German Reformed, Christian, Disciples, Welsh, &c., exert their influence on the morals and piety of the community. POLITICAL AND MILITARY. In politics, this county has always shown itself on the side of humanity and loyalty, so remotely back that the memory of the oldest denzen runneth not to the contrary. Its military history cannot be written. As has been show, this county bore its part in the British and Indian War in its infancy: so, it may be proven that it has, in its mature age, shared manfully and heroically in the war for the Union. Nobly and patriotically the best hope of the family and community were laid on the altar of "Our County," and painfully we shared the peril and sacrifice of the loyal land. We may claim a proud share of the laurels of victory. GEOLOGY, ETC. Delaware County embraces a portion of the cliff limestone formation in its western sec- tion, extending across the black shale in the centre, and covering a section of "Waverly sand- stone," or red sandstone, on the east. The "superficial material," or "drift," is, for the most part, regular, and the appearance of the substratum well defined. The depth of the various formations and their "dip" have not all be ascertained. The black shale, on Alum Creek, is 250 to 300 feet in thickness, nearly uniform. The limestone formation affords fine quarries and facilities for manufacture of choicest lime. The sandstone or freestone of Big Walnut is much valued for building purposes. The surface material, consisting of various strata of "drift," besides the "alluvial deposites," furnishes gravel for roads, fine sand for building purposes, potter's clay, brick clay, and "bog ore" or fire clay. The cliff limestone furnishes numerous indications of salt springs. That portion of this county lying in this formation is classed by Dr. S. P. Hildreth with the "Ohio Salines." But the deposits are ascertained, by boring, to be more noted for sulphur springs than those of salt water. Prof. E. S. Wayne found the following substances present in the water:-- Gases--Sulphureted hydrogen, Carbonic acid. Chloride of Magnesium. Oxide of Iron. " Sodium. Carbonate of Lime. " Calcium. Sulphuret of Calcium. Sulphate of Magnesia. Iodine. " Lime. Traces of organic matter. Each of the formations present indications at surface of "petroleum," and leases of "oil lands" have been made in each. Efforts have been made in the red sandstone at "boring;" but, as yet, unsuccessfully. Indications in the "black shale" and "limestone" are undeveloped. That this county is rich in hidden resources is undeniable: the practicability of their develop- ment is unknown. CONCLUSION From a "cloud the size of a man's hand" this county has risen, in half a century, to occupy an elevated position an an integer of the great commonwealth. From a few brave and hardy pioneers, scarcely numbering hundreds, the population has multiplied to thousands, with propor- tional increase in religion, science, and general intelligence. With our fertile valleys, and hills rich in agricultural wealth, our undeveloped mineral resources, and the example of the past, what may not a loyal people hope for the future? The hand of science shall till our soil, and ma- nage our quarries and shops, under the administration of wise and wholesome laws, while the benign influence of religion shall lead us to become a still greater, purer, and happier people.
