THE VILLAGE OF POWELL DELAWARE COUNTY OHIO June 13, 1997 Dear Neighbors, Thank you for joining us for Powell's Golden Days. Over the last 50 years, Powell has changed from a quiet country crossroads town to one of Central Ohio's fastest-growing and most popular bedroom communitities. Powell is special to those of us who live here. While it offers its increasing number of residents easy access to all of the amenities of a major metropolitan area, it retains a little bit of that small-town atmosphere that caused us to move here. We invite you to enjoy both sides of Powell this weekend, and to return frequently to watch us finish building our commu- nity. Sincerely, Bill Nolan [signature] Bill Nolan Mayor P.O.

To The Powell Community On Memorial Day just a year ago, I came to the Village of Powell as the new Police Chief. From the first day, it was obvious to me that the landscape here changes daily. Construction workers comprise one of the largest groups of those working in town. Many of our residents are successful business owners and cor- porate leaders from elsewhere in the Columbus met- tropolitan area. Beautiful large upscale residential de- velopments create a pleasant environment even for the passerby. The flashing four-way stop at the center of town gave little forewarning of the traffic that flows through each day. Our antique stores and restaurants draw visitors from afar. When I wonder about life in the early California mining towns during the gold rush, I compare life today in Powell. Our rapid development creates a similar atmosphere of excitement. A 1947 photograph of the first village mayor and council sparked my interest for a Powell Golden Days celebration. In Clayton, Ohio, where I was police chief before coming to Powell, the mayor organized a com- munity picnic held in the park every August. The Mayor and council members cooked on the barbecue grills and the churches sold baked goods. The county elected officials came out to meet the community. We had live entertainment and pony rides for the kids. The police cars and fire trucks were on display. Three- legged sack races and children's games were part of this five hour event. I thought a picnic in the park would be a great way to celebrate Powell's fiftieth year of incorporation. Powell's mayor, Bill Nolan, and the council gave the approving nod and the planning began. Still rela- tively new to town, I made a few calls and wrote a few letters to expand the interest. The village staff brought forth many names and suggestions of how to get started. During our first meeting of ten or twelve vol- unteers, I offered up the Clayton picnic type event, or maybe something bigger. The group chose bigger! Af- ter much discussion and planning, we settled on a three day event spreading from Murphy's Party Barn through town to the North Park. Resources for the event came from cash contributions from business and personal sponsorships, volunteer labor and services, and staff support from your local government. From day one, this event has been committee driven. We never elected officers and the subcommit- tee leaders and members were drafted for the most part. Our members represent civic groups, business, government, and indi- vidual volunteers with a united commitment to this special event. We have looked back at Powell's history long before the in- corporation, to our present, and toward our future. This milestone rec- ognition has given us the great opportunity to hear first-hand accounts from those living in Powell fifty years ago. The Powell Commemorative Booklet is a self-portrait of our com- munity: those who live here, work here, or have per- sonal ties. This celebration reflects our community extending beyond the corporation lines. I am personally grateful to the very talented and resourceful members of the Powell Golds Days Com- mittee. A special thanks to the elected and appointed government officials of the Village of Powell, Liberty Township, and Delaware County. Remembering that this is a community event, I would like to thank the Powell community for its contribution in resources and fellowship. Gary Vest [signature] Gary Vest, Chair Powell 50!

King and Queen Pat Chambers Haywood and her husband, Marvin, were both born in 1947 and have been chosed to be the queen and king of this Golden Days celebration. Though born in Columbus, Marvin came to Powell in seventh grade and completed his education at the Powell School. Both he and Pat graduated from Olentangy High School. You could call them "high school sweethearts". Pat was born and raised in the village. She recalls that their class was the last eighth grade at the "Monument on the Hill". Pat went on to Capital University and later returned to Powell as a substi- tute teacher for a short time, with her second grade teacher having become principal! "It was fun,! Pat says. Marvin's home here in Powell was quite unique. His family lived in the downstairs of the 1882 school building on S. Liberty Street, and he remembers the blackboards still being on the wall on the second floor! That space had not been converted into family living quarters, but he and his siblings enjoyed playing there. Pat and Marvin have three children and now live in the Clintonville area of Columbus. We are pleased they returned to their hometown to serve as queen and king. A princess and prince were also chosen. Born in 1997 to parents living in Powell, they are Mackenzie Baumgartner and Jacob Fisher.

The Powell I.O.O.F. Lodge #465 was chartered September 29, 1870, and originally met in a building which stood on the northwest corner of Liberty and Olentangy Streets (it was later destroyed by fire). In 1880. a lot was purchased on the southwest corner of the intersection a 2 story building was constructed for $1,600. The upstairs was used for lodge meetings and other community events. The downstairs served as the community grocery. The ladies' branch of the lodge was chartered May 18, 1888, and was known as the Liberty Rebekah Lodge #247. Both lodges were very active and had many members for a number of years. As the members aged, died, moved or dropped out, membership dwindled. Younger people were not attracted to lodge work. In 1995, the building was sold and the few remaining Odd Fellows consoli- dated with Delaware's Olentangy Lodge #53. The Rebekahs, having no place to meet, consolidated with the Delaware Rebekah Lodge #198 on March 17, 1996. Copyright ? 1997 by the Powell-Liberty Historical Society, 103 E.

CHAPTER 1 - CIRCA 1947 The Powell Speedway The coming of racing to the area caught the attentiion of surrounding residents in the 1940s. (See related "Glimpses of the Past," page 18 and The Columbus Dispatch article on the next page.) Races began at the Powell Speedway in 1947 with motorcycles, Offenhausers, and midget race cars. There were also daredevil shows. The grand- stand, which remained from the property's previous use as The Delaware County Fairgrounds, was removed around 1950. [photo: Motorcycle races at Powell Speedway, late 1940s.] Virginia Hess, who lived with her husband just east of the track, recalls a humorous story: "The dust created by the racing cars was very thick-like the dust bowls out west. We had a cow who ate the dusty grass that made her milk a tan color instead of white. Even after straining the milk, it still was not white. This is a true story- believe it or not!" page 7 Title A name given to the resource Powell's Golden Days 1997 (p. 7) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/13c3abbd1dafa52e9c6bbb67f45a352e.jpg 568db26ec75269a0e2792d197a6c0487 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Come Monday night the Powell Community Booster Club will celebrate the ending of the "battle of neighbors" and launch a new golden era which promises to bring street lights, fire de- partment equipment and flourish- ing business to the Delaware County village of about 350 resi- dents. Which is just an around about way of saying Powell is preparing to become an incorporated village Feb. 17. Behind the fact is a story of turmoil ending in peace, of dissension bringing progress. The "battle" started last spring over the Powell Speedway's plans to open an auto race track at the site of the old Powell Fair- grounds. Nearby residents, recalling clouds of dust raised in bygone years at the same site, started circulating petitions opposing the establishment of the new track. Other residents, including many businessmen, viewed the proposed track as a potential source of revenue for the village. They re- fused to sign the petitions. Petition circulators then con- ceived a new idea of attack. They decided to incorporate the vil- lage, thinking the track could be barred if the village were incor- porated. In a counter move, those favor- ing the track organized the Booster Community Club to op- pose incorporation of the village. Then a startling thing hap- pened. Or rather two startling things: 1. Leaders of those opposing the track did an about face. They learned the track would be operated as a "big time" track. They dropped their op- position to the track. 2. The Booster Club also did an about face. It decided the village should incorporate for its own good. J. H. Plummer, grocer and fin- nancial secretary of the club, and W. F. Bayles, retired telegrapher and chairman of the club's ad- visory board, Saturday, told about the "on again off again Finnigan" moves and the reasons behind the ultimate actions. "We got to rubbing elbows with each other, exchanging ideas. We decided to incorporate for a number of reasons. For one thing, we'll get more return from the taxes we pay. We'll be in a better position to promote the growth of the village. We'll be better able to co-operate with those who may want to build homes here or locate new busi- nesses here." The Booster Club got behind the circulation of petitions for the incorporation of the village. Another group started petitions opposing incorporation. When the smoke cleared, those for incor- poration numbered 134, those op- posing 30. The Booster Club raised $400 to finance the campaign and meet expenses of incorporating. On Oct. 19, three agents of the club-- Eugene Hess, Harry Weinstock and H. O. Kline--presented the petitions and plat of the village to the Delaware County commis- sioners, asking that a charter be granted. On Dec. 19 the commission is- sued the charter which becomes effective Feb. 17. The successful incorporation campaign came on the heels of an earlier and even more bitter controversy which found Powell in the thick of a fight over con- solidation of schools in several townships including Liberty in which Powell, Hyatts and Lewis Center are located. Some favored the consolidation. Others opposed it. Eggs of some vintage were splattered over some farm homes. There were other acts of maliciousness. The fight ended last spring when the consolidation was ordered. Don Mack, an insurance man who lives near Powell, recalled the bitterness of the fight.

Description An account of the resource [page 9] [corresponds to labeled page 9 of Powell's Golden Days, June 1997] B U S D I S P A T C H Sunday, February 9, 1947 TO INCORPORATION OF VILLAGE "In some instances disinter- ested residents found themselves smack in the middle of the con- troversy with a neighbor on one side of him insisting he go one way and a neighbor on the other side insisting he go the other. "If one side learned that the other side had got a man to sign, the other side would then send a woman to the home of the man to try and get her signature and offset the signature of the hus- band." Mr. Mack will preside as mas- ter of ceremonies at the Monday night celebration of the Booster Club which will be held at the Methodist Church in the form of a banquet and installation of new officers for the year. Club members are enthusiastic about the future prospects of Powell as an incorporated village. Agents of the club who pre- sented the petition for incorpora- tion will determine whether not a special election will be held to elect village officials--a mayor, council, treasurer and other of- ficers. Efforts will be made to induce industry and new business to lo- cate in the village and commu- nity, club members said. Aid will be given persons seeking home sites in the village. The village, laid out in 1876 and still without street lights, will get street lights and other modern facilities. Thus, out of turmoil and dis- sension, a new Powell is to arise. The club behind the new Powell vouches for this. It has a slogan: "Let's go, Powell." Notice of Petition for Incorporation of Village Notice is hereby given that on the 14th day of October, 1946 there was presented to the Board of County Commissioners of the County of Delaware, State of Ohio, a petition signed by 134 electors residing within the following described territory in the County of Delaware, State of Ohio, to-wit: (An extensive legal description of the village followed.) And representing that said territory has been laid off into village lots, plats of which territory so laid off have been acknowledged and recorded as is provided with respect to deeds, or have been sur- veyed and platted by an engineer or surveyor who has certified thereon under oath to the correctness of the same and which are recorded as is provided with respect to deeds and that said territory within said proposed corporation embraces also adjacent territory not laid off into lots. That this territory above described does not embrace within its limits the grounds or improve- ments of any county or city infirmary; that the number of inhabitants now residing in said territory is 306; and praying therein that the said territory may be organized into a village to be named "Village of Powell", which petition is now on file in the office of the Auditory of Delaware County; and designating the undersigned to act as agents of the petitioners, as required by law. Said Board of Commissioners has fixed Decem- ber 19, 1946 at 2:00 o'clock P.M. as the time for hearing said petition at the office of the Board of County Commissioners in Delaware, Ohio. Petition signatures were: E. Eugene Hess, H.O. Kline, and H. Weinstock. Incorporation Formerly the Powell Businessmen's Association, the Powell Community Booster Club was the impetus for Powell's incorporation on February 17, 1947. The Worthington News, dated December 26, 1946, reported: "Delaware County Commissioners voted unanimously for the incorporation of Powell, following the hearing and consideration of a petition from residents... The petition was signed by 134 citizens of the proposed area who favored the incorporation, while a remonstrance against the proposal was signed by 34." It continued: "The practice of being conservative, impartial and dealing justice at all times, should result in creating and preserving the harmony among the citizens which is necessary for the future success of the village."

It is located in the pretty dividing heights between the Olentangy and Scioto valleys." He continued: "It's strange how people like to go down a street and say: 'I remember when they turned on the lights.'" There are those today who still remember. Donna Lawrence, who served for many years on the village council recalls: "The governor came. I can still see his shock of white hair, and we closed off the streets and had a street dance with speeches and a big party.

CHAPTER II - GLIMPSES OF THE PAST The following chapter is devoted to recollections of member of The Powell-Liberty Historical Society with a focus on life 50 years ago. They appeared in the Olentangy Valley News and are reproduced with its permission for the unifying quality they offer this commemorative booklet. Canfield Hardware Store was place to be in spring by Jean Kirkham Hey, Don, my truck's parked at the 'mill'. Throw in a 100 pounds of calf meal and 50 of chick feed. I'm going to Pernal's for a haircut." "Don, I need two pounds of six-penny nails." "Lucile, I'm here to pay my light bill." "What can I give my kids for Christmas? I see you have Ingersol watches, harmonicas, pocket knives, sleds and wagons. Oh, yes, there's a doll my little girl would love." So it was on a typical day in the Sharp and Canfield Hardware Store, 50 years ago. In spring, there were hand plows, manual cultivators, seeders, hoes, spades and shovels on the covered porch. Inside were 30 gallon crocks of seed corn, several varieties of beans, peas and other large seeds. Stacks of seed potatoes and onion sets were nearby. Each was weighted out to fulfill the customer's needs. Small seeds, such as lettuce, tomato, carrots, spinach and beets, were weighted in one-eighth or one- quarter ounce units. At that time, almost every home had a garden which supplied the family's vegetables for the entire year. [photo: Canfield's Hardware eventually was sold so the Canfields could open a Sohio station, which was located where the gazebo now can be found.] In 1921 Julian E. sharp and son-in-law, Donald Canfield, bought the Scott Brothers Hardware and established a business which served the Powell community and much of southwestern Delaware County. After Mr. Sharp's death in 1943, Lucile Sharp Canfield (Don's wife) began working full-time in the store. Full- time meant opening at 7:30 a.m. and closing at 9 p.m. Serving the public meant long hours and also keeping a great variety of wares available. Don spent one day each week going from wholesale house to wholesale house in Columbus to keep the store well-stocked. The hardware building is now occupied by Powell Village Antiques on the northeast corner of Olentangy and Liberty streets. The mill referred to in the first sentence is now Powell Day Care Center. It was built by H.E. Sharp as a flour mill. Canfield converted it to a warehouse for all kinds of Tuxedo animal feeds. He delivered several hundred pounds of the products each week to the surrounding farms. Some of the feeds were bagged in cotton prints which were used to make aprons, towels and even dresses. The barbershop, known as Pernal's, was owned and operated by Pernal Askins for many years. He was a brother of Craig Askins, a lifelong resident of this area. In 1948, the hardware was sold so that the Canfields could establish a new business. They built a Standard Oil station on the opposite corner (where the gazebo and park are now.) Again Lucile worked every day with Don, except Sunday when she served as church organist in the Powell United Methodist church, a position she filled for more than 40 years. In 1955, because of their poor health, the Canfields leased the station to Melvin and Luthella (Poodle) Morgan. The Morgans continued in the business until 1968. Jean Kirkham is a lifelong resident of Powell and has been a piano and vocal teacher in the community for 50 years. She is the daughter of Lucile and Don Canfield. page 12 Title A name given to the resource Powell's Golden Days 1997 (p. 12) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/2c1bc2b315f329f1f992ee40716e38a9.jpg 1f16f377bc34787af0246f103d189e67 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Penny Candy was popular at Plummer's Confectionery by Evalyn Plummer Anderson In the village of Powell 50 years ago there were three grocery stores to serve the area. The nearest town to shop was 10-12 miles to Worthington, Delaware or 20 miles to Columbus. Graceland was the first shopping center to come to the area, but in 1947 Graceland was still farm land. The three grocery stores to serve Powell and the surrounding area were Clara Bell's Reeves Red & White and Plummer's Confectionery. The owner usually lived in rooms behind the store and the family was expected to help. The typical store had a pot-bellied stove for heat and hang down type of incandescent lights. Rest rooms were non-existent. Running water came from a well or cistern. Windows were high to let in light and hot air out. Screen doors in front and back let fresh air in to circulate with help of fans. In mid-summer, hanging sticky ribbons with flies were not uncommon. There was usually a big ball of string up high hanging down to tie packages of meat, etc. You told the grocer what you wanted and he got it down off the shelf for you. Those who lived in the village walked to the store daily or sent the children. The children might have a few pennies change to choose candy from the penny candy case. Farmers in the country drove into town. Many times the men brought the list and while the grocer filled the order the men visited, gossiped or solved the problems of the world. The stores were stocked with canned goods, but only one brand of an item, fresh meats, (lunch meat sliced by hand), produce in season, cereals, milk, ice cream, and soaps like Fels-Naptha, Lifebuoy, Camay, Ivory and penny candy! Also available was gloves, caps, socks, yellow tablets, pencils, crayons, sewing thread. Patent medicines like aspirin, Ex-Lax, Hadacol, Elixir, cough syrup, Vapor rub, iodine, bandages, adhesive tape (not Band-Aids). At Plummer's you could get Shell gas and oil as well as ice for the ice box. Ice Cream cones were two dips for a nickel. They had two tables so you could sit and eat a chocolate sundae while your order was being filled. Soda pop came in 6-oz. bottles such a coca-cola, 7-up, orange, grape and root beer. In 1947 stores had not changed much for many years due to the great Depression and then World War II. But in the next 10 years things changed rapidly. Stores started to remodel and put in central heating and air-conditioning and open shelving so customers could serve themselves. Reeves and Plummer's remodeled in 1950. Gone were the gas pumps and ice house. Added was magazines, greeting cards, costume jewelry, watches, home perma- nents, band-aids, baby gifts, pot pies and frozen vegetables, warm nuts by the pound, pop by the carton, packaged ice cream, 45 RPM records, more school supplies, toys and games. Later they added work pants, shirts, underwear, flannel shirts, blue jeans, straw hats, yard goods, sewing notions, paint, license plate agency and they still had Penny Candy! By the mid-'50s super markets were being built rapidly and people were beginning to get second cars and the family general store was finding it hard to compete. People liked having a choice of brands to choose from and serving themselves. The Mom and Pop type general stores as I knew them were the forerunner of the big super markets of today. But there is no such thing as Penny Candy! [photo: Harold Plummer and Melvin Morgan sit at Plummer's Confectionery in 1941.] ADDITIONAL NOTES: Walter and Eliza Weaver ran the grocery "on the corner" for many years. Ben and Clara Bell bought it in 1946. They had two sons, Donald and Victor. Ben died in 1948. Clara continued to run the store and later married Lanny Landstrum. Clara stayed in the store until 1985. These owners did not live in the back of the store. Fred and Rhe Reeves and son Mac came to town in 1937 and opened the Red and White store. The Reeves did live behind the store for awhile, and remodeled it at least once before closing in 1973. Harold and Elsie Plummer came to town in 1941 and opened Plummer's Confectionery. They had two daughters Evalyn and Carol and they all lived in the back rooms of page 13 Title A name given to the resource Powell's Golden Days 1997 (p. 13) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/0f24caaf205e9ea1418449cec07cc6ff.jpg 4e2433477ec960ff5183dcb57801f5ea Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The store was remodeled in 1950. Harold died in 1955 and Elsie continued running the store with daughter Evalyn and her husband Andy Anderson. The store closed in 1973. Evalyn Plummer Anderson moved to Powell with her parents when she was 10 years old. She graduated from Powell High School, married her high school sweetheart and raised four children in the small community atmosphere. She and Andy remained an active part of the community until they moved near Delaware in 1990. Powell's first police chief was good will ambassador by Donna Lawrence The village of Powell was incorporated in 1947 and the mayor was appointed along with the Village Council. Then came the big decision as to who would be appointed Village Marshal. The council chose my father, William (Bill) Muladore for the job. He held this office until his death in 1962. Prior to the incorporation of the village, Guy Butcher was the constable of all of Liberty Township including Powell. at that time, the village had no street lights, no fire department, no Del-Co Water and very few bathrooms -- mostly just the little out-house at the end of the path. In 1948 the council appointed Gene Hess as Deputy Marshal. It should be remembered that at this time no training was required -- in other words, you trained on the job. I think my father was chosen because he was tall, strong and had many friends in the town. (This always helps!) He also had a terrific personality and sense of humor. He never backed off from those he couldn't charm into behaving, so his reputation of [photo: Bill Muladore was Powell's first Village Marshal.] being fair but tough helped. He was known as the "ambassador of good will of Powell." He knew every adult, child, dog and cat among the 350 residents of the town. His duties consisted of directing traffic at the four corners, watching at the bottom of the hill where the school was located (the site of Powell Center today) to make sure no child went into the street, cooling the tempers of an occasional domestic battle and keeping quiet about the participants. On Saturday nights, the Powell Race Track was open and the town buzzed with traffic. With the whine of the race cars warming up and the voice of the announcer, my father, along with the county sheriff's department, kept law and order. Dad, with his uniform pressed, his badge on his chest, white shirt starched and ironed by Mama, stepped high. I was so proud of him. In later years, a co-worker of my son, learning that he was from Powell, wanted to know if "that gray-haired old so and so" was still Marshal there. My son told him he was referring to his grandfather who had died several years earlier. The man proceeded to tell my son of an incident in the late 1950s. This man and a friend had gotten drunk one night and decided it would be fun to drive to Powell and ring the bell in the Methodist Church. This was at 2 a.m. on a summer night and naturally woke up a lot of people. The two men thought this was so much fun, they decided to do it again an hour later. As the story goes, the co-worker opened the church door just enough to reach in and pull the bell rope. When he pulled, he pulled on the "gray-haired so and so's sleeve." The co-worker reported, "That old man turned me every way but loose." When I started to write this history, I didn't think it would be a sort of eulogy to my father. He's been gone for 35 years, and I still have people say to me, "Remember when old Bill did this or said that?" Pretty good for a small-town cop! Donna Lawrence, a former village councilwoman, has lived in Powell most of her entire life. page 14 Title A name given to the resource Powell's Golden Days 1997 (p. 14) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/c167bd38f73632dcb5ebdda8360959ee.jpg 3c331bb622cea8234409ff294a0e068f Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Farming has changed greatly as Powell area developed by Craig Askins I started farming in the late 1920s with dairy cattle being my first interest. I also sold Golden Guernsey milk. Later, when consumers demanded less butterfat in their milk, we changed from Guernsey cows to Holsteins which produced less butterfat and considerably more pounds of milk per cow. We were paid per 100 pounds of milk, and when the butterfat was taken out, we lost money. We took our dairy cows across the Powell Road to pasture and back each day. This would be impossible now. In the '30s and '40s every farm had a flock of chickens. In fact, in those days our chickens gave us more income than the dairy. It was in the mid-1940s that I changed my 1894 barn from loose housing to a stanchions barn. In the early '40s, I changed from horse power to tractor power. Horses have always been a part of my life, so it was a sad day when I sold my last team of horses to Jim Brown. Jim was well known and well loved around Powell for many years. After graduating from Powell High School in 1912, he drove the horse-drawn school wagon and later the first motorized school bus in the state in 1917. Farming was a four-year rotation of crops: corn, wheat and two years of hay. Over the years, grain was hauled to Lewis Center and Kile for sale. We quit cutting wheat and oats with the grain binder in the early 1940s and used a combine. After years of farming, as a hobby I enjoyed using an 1888 steam engine to run a stationary thresher to harvest wheat. In our home we used the wood and cook stove with the warming closet above. The Round Oak heater was used in the living room. This was the "Cadillac" of heaters. Our community was made up mostly of farmers, so 4'H clubs were important. All of our four children were 4-H members. My wife, Marguerite, and I were advisers. The church was important in our lives as well. The old building still stands in the center of Old Powell. Congregations then would number 40 to 50 people. We knew everyone. Today, the Powell Methodist Church serves 400 to 500 people each Sunday morning. In those days, we always addressed our minister as "Reverend". I am sorry that today (I'm included), it is just Lou. Our school building stood in old Powell with 40 to 50 students in high school and 120 in the first eight grades. H.O. Gibson was our superintendent. His widow is my neighbor. One day as I took off in my '38 chevy for Bill Stack's blacksmith shop, I decided to count the dairy farms between my farm and Powell. In 1-1/2 miles, there were six farms: Joe Brown, Earl Clemons, Jack Tuller, the Zinn farm, Pearl Drumheller and mine. Today, there are just two dairy farms between Powell and Delaware. Arriving at the four corners, there was no light, no stop signs and no traffic. My old friend, Bill, the town marshal, was standing there. So I stopped to say hello. When I started to turn left to continue on my way, Bill said, "Craig, hold out your hand so people will know which way you are going". Then came that characteristic laugh. [photo: Craig Askins rides on an old McCormick Grain Binder, drawn by his Belgian horses.] This is the way it was for me 50 years ago. I believe farmers have stayed in business because they work 12 to 16 hours a day, plus holidays, when the work needs to be done and the weather requires it. Craig Askins came as a boy from Oklahoma in 1918. He lived in the home of his parents until his recent death. The barn he used has framework from a barn built for the 1894 World's Fair in Chicago. In the 1970s, he bought a team of registered Belgian mares and raised and sold their offspring at the Eastern States Draft Horse Show for many years. page 15 Title A name given to the resource Powell's Golden Days 1997 (p. 15) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/6850da8d235ef1c0d0a19129842ab9c5.jpg 49b4d6afbf022234e9b5e61dccb9fece Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Idea of incorporation meant changes for Powell by Virginia Hess [photo: Gene Hess helped create the first "police car" for the then new village of Powell.] I was asked to contribute an article for "Glimpses of the Past' that included my late husband, Eugene "Gene" Hess, and myself. First, just a little personal note for those who did not know us 50 years ago. Gene and I both came to Powell in the spring of 1932. He came from Columbus and I moved with my folks from Dublin. We met in 1933. I gradu- ated from the old Powell school in 1934. We were married in 1935 and lived in Powell until his death in 1985. I now live in Delaware. As the old town of Powell began to "come alive" after World War II, the Powell Business Men's Association was formed and the idea of incorporation was discussed. Gene led the movement for the incorporation and he and two other men, Harry Weinstock and H.O. Kline, were in favor of this and the incorporation became a reality in February 1947. It was not necessary to have a governing body consisting of a mayor, council members, clerk, treasurer and a marshal. Frank Bayles was the first mayor, and Bill Muladore was appointed at the first marshal. In December 1948, council appointed Gene as deputy marshal. He served in this role while he owned and operated a small plant where he made scale equipment. Some kind of a police car was needed so Gene, being handy with tools and machinery, made "Powell Police" signs and fastened them on the side of his "sedan delivery" car. The signs could be easily taken off or put on as needed by the use of snaps. He had red flashing light and I believe a siren, as he was also a volunteer fireman. The "sedan delivery" car he used was similar in size to the small minivans of today. Gene served as deputy marshal for 14-1/2 years until the pressure of his business forced him to resign in Apri 1962. He remained on the Planning and Zoning Commission. In the November election of 1958, I ran for clerk- treasurer of the village, was elected, and held that office for 10 years. John Kirkham was mayor during this time, and we had a village solicitor from Columbus, Fred Campbell, who kept us doing things legal. The council met in the north room of the low brick building at the northwest corner of Liberty and Olentangy streets. During the years when I served as clerk-treasurer, many changes took place. Powell had grown a little, but nothing compared to the last few years. I would never have imagined that the small quiet town of Powell, the crossroads of liberty and Olentangy streets, and between two beautiful rivers, would now be near city status. My congratulations to Powell on the 50th anniversary of the incorporation. I am very glad Gene and I had a part in the beginning. Virginia Hess is longtime member of Powell United Method- ist Church. Life was much different for Powell teens 50 years ao by Don Bell Fifty years ago Powell was not a suburb of Columbus; it was a tiny country village. The nearest town of any size was Worthington; Columbus was 15 miles away. This created problems for teen-agers. The main mode of transportation was the bicycle, but a couple of the gang had old clunkers to ferry the rest of us around for special occasions. There were not many two-car families so borrowing the family car was not something done on a page 16 Title A name given to the resource Powell's Golden Days 1997 (p. 16) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/df13260560547de188be8a1b9037fcd4.jpg 0df0af09586d27aa886ebe198976fc2c Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

A passenger train did stop at the depot about 1:00 pm on weekdays and you could ride to Columbus by rail. However, there was no scheduled train to bring you back, so other arrangements had to be made. Hitchhiking was one method. It was safe then. The focal point of the teen-ager was the school and its activities. Sports, music, plays and moneymaking projects to finance the yearly educations trip kept us very busy. Dating was mostly to attend school functions. After school and on weekends we would hang out at the corner store, playing the jukebox, at six plays for a quarter, or trying to win free games on the pinball machine. We would also plan some devious entertainment such as our hub cap game. A group of us would sit at the corner and when a car would pull away form the stop sign, we would throw an old hub cap along side the car and yell that hub cap had fallen from the wheel. One of us would pick it up and just when the driver, who had stopped, was reaching for it, the designated returnee would take off running at top speed. Needless to say, there were some great reactions from the drivers. In the summer most of the young people would work on the area farms baling hay, etc., or at some local business. Of course, there were always jobs at the Powell Speedway on weekends. In our spare time we played baseball and softball usually in a league in Delaware. We won the championship in softball in 1948. In addition, we also collected scrap metal and newspapers in order to buy football uniforms. Since Powell High School was too small for football, we formed our own team, well equipped, and played teams from other areas. We did not do well, but we looked good. Our jerseys had the names of local mer- chants on them. In the fall most of the guys hunted on the large farms of the surrounding area. These areas no longer exist as they are covered with houses. In the winter we went sledding at Devil's Back Bone (now Liberty Parkway) or ice skating at Cox's Pond which is now Old Pond Lane in Deer Run development. Sometimes we would pile into a car and head for Worthington for spaghetti at Ann-Ton's or a hamburger and shake at The Dales, which was owned by two practical-joking brothers. At that time a club sandwich at Ann-Ton's was 65 cents. There were not McDonalds or Burger Kings and we never heard of pizza. The only fast- food restaurant was White Castle and the nearest one was located at Arcadia and High in the north end of Colum- bus. Notice -- there is no mention of television or computers. There weren't any! Dating then, as now, was a big part of a teen-agers' life. Girls talked about boys and boys talked about girls! Most dating was to attend school functions like dances, hay rides or basketball games. Away basketball games were good because you could ride the bus with your girl and did not need a car! A big date would mean a movie in downtown Columbus at one of the first run theaters and a stop to eat on the way home. Of course, there were the drive-in theaters on Riverside Drive and Kingman Hill south of Delaware. Money to finance dates was just as hard to come by then as today. Things like movies and food did not cost as much, but you didn't make much either. There were a lot of double dates due to transporta-- tion problems. Those who did not have cars available did not date much. Halloween was a great time in Powell. We usually started our activities in August. I'll not talk of the things we did, since I'm not sure of the statute of limitations in these cases. Trick or treat did not mean candy bars and bubble gum, but apples and homemade cookies. The Businessmen's Association started a big Halloween Party [photo: Powell High School Cheerleaders and Basketball Team, 1945- 46. Don Bell is pictured third from left in middle row.] held at the school in an attempt to keep down the mis- chief. It provided an outlet, but also brought more teen- agers into town. One ruse we liked to pull was when we saw the town constable, we would run as if we had been up to something just to see if he would chase us. I'm not sure if he was playing our game or we were playing his game! But it kept all of us busy. Being a teen-ager in the late '40s, especially in a small village, was quite different than being a teen'ager today. There were no drugs, no vandalism as we know it today, no robberies, and no TV. We really never did much, but it was a wonderful time. The Bell family moved to the Powell area in 1936. Don Bell graduated from Powell High School in 1949. His mother, Clara, now deceased, ran the store on the corner from 1946 until 1985. Don now lives in Reynoldsburg with his wife Mary. They have two grown children. Don is retired from the Whitehall School System where he "taught teen-agers" for 33 years. page 17 Title A name given to the resource Powell's Golden Days 1997 (p. 17) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/cc7147281acff827c86e94f6aa5caa42.jpg e6a049395edd76df8b089773c4fda824 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It took several months to grub out the under brush, remove the old building leaving only the large exhibition barn. This building approaching 100 years old is still standing and currently operates as Murphy's Party Barn and Catering. Shy and Chuck Murphy along with several Columbus businessmen formed the American Racing Association Inc. in 1946. It aligned with the American Automobile Association and the American Motorcycle Association, at that time the two top governing bodies of the motor racing world, and joined the NASCAR Racing circuit. This type of auto racing was something new in this area, especially on a half-mile dirt tract. It was distinctive from the paved 2-1/2-mile Speedway at Indianapolis. Their desire was to have a first-class operation. After the racing was under way, one sports writer from the Star newspaper wrote "Powell Speedway is the only place to be on Saturday night, arrive early and picnic. Sports editor Robert Hooey wrote, "Your first glimpse of this new venture will tell you that here's a perfect raceway from a spectator's viewpoint. It's almost a saucer, with short straightaways and long sweeping curves which have a width of 90 fee. From the standpoint of the racer, this track is a honey, no laying off on those curves, just wind-er-up all the way around." My husband insisted on a severely banked track, making it unnecessary to cut down on the speed of the straightaways. Jim Lamb of AAA, the fellow who ran the show in Indianapolis each Memorial Day, was quoted as saying, "after viewing the Powell Speedway, it's my frank opinion a new world's record for a half-time dirt track will be set here this summer." The opening race on June 29, 1946, featured some of the famous Indianapolis drivers: Joey Chitwood, Walt Ader, Spider Webb, Bill Holland, Lee Wallard and Elbert Booker. Wilbur Shaw, manager of the Indianapolis Speedway, was on hand to cut the ribbon. They raced for a estimated crown of 25,000. Cars were parked all over the acreage. General admission (standing) was $1.25; bleacher seats $2 and reserved seats $2.50. Newspaper clippings from our family scrapbooks feature daredevil and thrill shows held at Powell Speedway. Joey Chitwood and his 20 "hell drivers" performed auto and mtorcycle stunts. Eddie "Lucky" Zalucki, the most fearless daredevil- speedster of the "new crop" of drivers (Post World War II" also performed. We even had a rodeo contest, the circle "M" rodeo featuring movie actor Art Mix. Eventually the track was paved and featured stock car racing. The track has not been abandoned. Today, area sports car clubs can be found using the track for this gymkhana races. The old Powell Speedway has even hosted the 105-mile Ohio State Championship Bicycle Race. It has been a test track and used for numerous TV commercials and advertisements. As use of the race track began to diminish, we concen- trated on picnics and catering. Powell Pancake Day is one of our favorites as so many of the area people join in to do a good job, have fun and raise money for the Powell- Liberty Historical Society. We hear many interesting stories from the older locals. One gentleman, reminiscing, said when he was a boy he raced his horse on the dirt track and boasted of coming in second, but then added, page 18 Title A name given to the resource Powell's Golden Days 1997 (p. 18) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/442150bbcb1c82d865a464063ae34bfb.jpg cfda46a19ade4b8c8227f9bd6756935b Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

"there were only two horses in the event." Another area man pointed out the location in the barn where he received first prize in a second-grade art exhibit. Over the years we have had many memorable events. During one birthday celebration, Grand Ol Opry's "Minnie Pearl" and Troupe entertained. An international company, entertaining a group of businessmen from Japan, requested a farm family meal. The old barn has hosted numerous celebrity theme parties and several honoring the late Ohio State University Coach Woody Hayes. We even had a helicopter land in our yard during a storn with none other than Joel Douglas, son of Kirk Douglas, on board who was in Ohio searching for movie sites. One company hosted visitors from more than 80 countries. There have been church services, Easter egg hunts, wedding receptions, dog shows and auctions (plus our valued regulars who visit every year). Murphy's Party Barn is still owned and operated by members of the Murphy family. Willmoe Murphy is owner and operator of Murphy's Part Barn and Picnic Grounds. The way it was: 1947 by Louise Cornish Powell was a peaceful, quiet village when it was incorporated in 1947. Frank Bayles became our first mayor. There were unpaved streets, no street lights and very little traffic. The population was around 350, the number you needed to incorporate. The houses on Olentangy Street, mostly now businesses and antique shops, were family homes with many children playing on the sidewalks and in the streets. Children and teen-agers enjoyed swimming at the Shawnee Hills Swimming Pool, skating on the Scioto River and even on South Liberty Street. Sledding on Powell Road was popular, too, but not down the big hill! The young people attended school right here in the village and walked East Olentangy Street, crossed the clapboard bridge, and climbed the hill to the brick school building. The school building was later torn down and Powell Center located there. March 11, 1947, voters of the new Union School District--comprised of Hyatts, Powell and Orange districts--voted upon a special $268,000 bond issue for construction of a centralized high school. The present schools would remain as elementary schools. On May 15 the union school bond issue failed by 29 votes. The vote carried in all areas except Powell. The Powell Village vote was 42 for, 137 against. The Union Board resubmitted the levy Nov. 8, 1947, and it again failed by a great margin in Powell. It seems the Powell voters did not want to loose their local school. Eventually it passed, but not in 1947. Concern in Powell, and elsewhere, was for lack of housing for the returning World War II veterans. Several new homes were built in Powell, including houses ordered from the Sears catalog to build yourself. According to the Delaware Gazette (July 30, 1947), the average five-room house cost $7,000 to $7,900. Another concern was the shortage of many food items. Rationing of food, gasoline, tires and shoes had just ended but shortages remained. President Truman started a drive Oct. 2, 1947, to get people to use less wheat, meat, poultry and dairy products in order to free more grain for Europe. President Truman said, "People can either support conservation or resign themselves to a further spread of communism in Europe." Truman stated that American must not fail to help feed starving Europe, which had been devastated by the war (Delaware Gazette, Oct. 2, 1947). The Powell Methodist Church held a special Memorial Day program. The "Memorial Flag Rites" honored veterans. All servicemen and their families were invited to attend this service including interested community members. The program included vocal numbers and instrumental music. The Rev. Eldridge Holland, a veteran of ETO in World War II, and Lt. Col. H.H. Gibson, veteran of the Pacific area and the occupational forces in Japan, were speakers. The Girl Scouts con- ducted the flag ceremony and the Boy Scouts participated as well. The Memorial address was delivered by the Rev. Russell E. Bayliff. Even though World War II was over and the veterans finally home again, the community still had their victory gardens and shortages. As there was not TV, people listened to their radios. Once in a while they went to the movies to see Marilyn Monroe, Judy Garland, Bob Hope, Bind Crosby and Red Skelton. But most of all, they just enjoyed each other. [photo: Skating on S.

Fond memories of home by Sherry Carmichael Dorothy closed her eyes, clicked her ruby heels and fervently chanted, "There's no place like home!" As a product of that very good year 1946, and a sixth genera- tion to live in Powell and Liberty Township, I have read with interest and nostalgia the "Glimpses of the Past" articles. I will forever be grateful that the small town environment of Powell afforded me a wonderful, healthy, free and secure childhood. Buried beneath present day Powell Center are the remains of Powell School, once known as "the Monu- ment on the Hill." This institution opened its doors for the 1911-12 school year and graduated six pupils, my grandmother, Florence Gardner, being one of them. At that time, it was purported as one of only three schools in [photo: Powell Cemetery, circa 1910.] the state of Ohio, which included 12 grades under one roof. The consolidation of Powell, Hyatts, Orange and Berlin schools to form Olentangy High School in 1953 allowed me eight years at Powell School before graduating to high school at Olentangy. My daughter's attendance at Powell School rounded our four generations there before it was razed in 1976. Living only four houses from the school, it was not only central to my education buy my year-round playground as well. I remember how freely we rode our bikes or walked the roads and streets to town, often accompanied by a tail wagging dog, sans pooper-scooper or leash. There were daily trips to the post office, for mail and local news (gossip, if you will!) Clarence Dulin, postmaster when I was a teen-ager, often teasingly held an anticipated letter until all other mail had been sorted, occasionally making me late for a singing lessons at Jean Kirkham's. We might need some bread from Clara's or fresh meat from Reeves Red & White. And oh, the penny candy at Plummer's Trading post! We kids spent a life time deciding what to buy with our nickel or dime! There was no need for security systems or even locked doors during my childhood. Neighbors looked out for one another. When we took vacations, neighbors Ginny and Gene Hess would keep an eye on the house. With no lack of respect intended, town marshal Bill Muladore was affectionately known to me as "Mikey," in whose home I spent many over-nights with his granddaughters. If our moms couldn't find us at the school playground, they would simply cup their hands to their mouths and yell toward the woods. The woods was owned by someone in far off Columbus, but it "belonged" to us! We were the ones who used and roamed it. We often had the poison ivy to prove it! The woods is now home to Olentangy Ridge development. It sports a lovely little "lake" with a spouting fountain in the middle. That "lake" was a farm pond that watered my great grandfather's dairy herd and afforded many happy house of fishing and skating. In those days, it spouted nothing more than cattails where turtles and snakes hid from poking sticks and bare feet. At the turn of the century, the old Powell Methodist Church building was moved from South Liberty Street to its present location on the north side of West Olentangy Street. At that time, it received an addition, stained glass windows, and its unique steeple decoration of a hand with finger pointing to Heaven. Within its walls, the deepest emotions of a town were witnessed from birth, to rebirth, to death. I really miss hearing its bell, calling the town to remember the Lord's day, or ringing out the happiness of a wedding or tolling for a dearly departed one. I remember Memorial Day parades ending in the graveyard. The days were warm with the promise of summer and life, a contradiction of sorts. We Girl Scouts and 4-H'ers held bouquets of peonies to place at a veteran's grave, and the grass was soft and spongy. It seemed a little creepy to be standing on top of someone. But now I love to visit that beautiful old graveyard, to peruse its stones, and I wish there was still room for me to be buried among my ancestors. But not yet! Fifty years is not such a long time. Powell and I have a lot more living to do and a celebration to attend as well! Congratulations, Powell. There IS no place like home!

She is actively involved in the Powell-Liberty Historical Society, also giving walking tours of Powell and leading children's programs.

CHAPTER III -- THE EARLY YEARS [map: 1875 map of southern half of Liberty Township.] Early Powell The first settlement in what is now the Powell area was in 1813. It was called Middlebury, named for some of the settlers who hailed from Middlebury, Connecticut. In the 1830s people called the area Hall Corners for Thomas Hall who operated a store at the "four corners". It was 1856 when the area became Powell. Residents wanted to honor the man, Judge Thomas Powell from Dela- ware, who helped to secure a post office for the town. In 1876, Asa Gordon Hall surveyed and platted the town. The Powell Depot "With the building of the Columbus and Toledo Railroad, Powell made some preten- sion toward becoming a town." (from History of Delaware County and Ohio, 1880.) Service began in 1876. the Depot was located on the [photo: The Powell Depot, circa 1910.] page 21 Title A name given to the resource Powell's Golden Days 1997 (p. 21) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/063b7740c8f3b2b159235fc47f57c1c2.jpg 373a396954bf5b81d69859b7c2911d2d Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The dam flooded 800 acres of land. Homes, the Oller Church, and a portion of Scioto Village were moved, and an eight-mile reservoir was established. The Portland Cement used to make the concrete for the dam was shipped to Powell by rail and hauled to the dam site, some by horse and wagon. Stone came from the Stansbury Quarry on the Scioto River, near the current site of the Columbus Zoo. I 1988, an Olentangy Valley News reporter wrote: "The dam is a central Ohio landmark. Its classic style and cascad- ing waters have been the subject of photog- raphers' and artists' renderings. Its form allows sailing upstream and fishing down- stream." The bridge over the dam was widened with some restoration undertaken and re-opened in 1992. [photo: Before the reservoir flooded the site, this bridge crossed the Scioto River at Powell Road.

Powell at the Crossroads by David Betz, Village Development Director Planning for the Village of Powell has consis- tently provided themes which the community has developed and repeatedly adopted after much community debate. Master plans were created in 1974, 1988 and 1995. All three master plans in- volved creating a community centered around enhancing the original village core, allowing growth to occur in a managed program of development while preserving the natural features of the area for future residents to enjoy. During this time, Powell has certainly been at the crossroads. Figuratively, the crossroads have experienced tremendous pressure as the whole central Ohio region exploded in new growth. A challenge has been to preserve the natural environment which is a major reason Powell is so popular. Delaware County has especially been hit hard because of its location in an area offering good access to downtown. Addition- ally, the natural features people look for when seeking a new place to live are found on this upland plateau. Situated between the two major rivers off central Ohio, the Scioto River to the west and the State Scenic Olentangy River to the east, Powell has been ripe for the suburban growth that has occurred. Tributaries to the Olentangy River which flow through the village create a sense of naturalness and open spaces, a recurring theme in planning the area. Dedicated open space and natural scenic preserves have been retained through the development pro- cess. Although development has occurred in the village, it has been done in a managed way. Pres- sures from those who live and work in the village have created the community Powell is today. The [photo] [photo: Typical scene in 1997 -- New construction almost everywhere!] balancing act of managing growth is continuing. In reality, the crossroads of Powell exist at the center of the village known as the "four cor- ners". Historically, this part of town was the gathering place for community events for the village of 350 people before the growth trend started in the late 1970s. Even the original master plan of page 37 Title A name given to the resource Powell's Golden Days 1997 (p. 37) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/4af6f040b360c90a05f3efbfd003e238.jpg f3d67d6b9b583efa912fe29f814f0294 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [page 38] [corresponds to labeled page 38 of Powell's Golden Days, June 1997] CELEBRATE 50! 1974 indicated the need to improve the streets, sidewalks and other public facilities in the four corners area. The 1995 master plan includes a close examination of the old village area and recommen- dations from that VillageScape plan will begin implementation in July of 1997. Rebuilt streets, paver sidewalks, historic style street lighting and street furniture will revitalize the crossroads and provide a community character reflecting the flavor of an historic village. Private investment into properties is encouraged and recommendations for these improvements are provided within the VillageScape Plan. A combines public/private partnership is needed and being encouraged for implementation of this plan. Another major recommendation of the Compre- hensive Plan is the creation of a Village Green at or near the "four corners" to provide for public facili- ties such as a village hall, open space, parking, a pavilion for outdoor events and a possible commuter rail station. A positive vote of the community realized the purchase of a 12 acre site in the center of town on which to create this Village Green. Planning for all of the public uses on this property has begun, with implementation to begin in 1998. A community vision statement was created with the 1995 Powell Comprehensive Plan. This statement reflects the community's feeling about the present day village and what it should be like in the future: "The Village of Powell is a small, rural, Greenbelt town, located off the beaten path, along the west bank of the scenic Olentangy River valley, in southern Dela- ware County. . Residential neighborhoods spread along the valley wall, north and south of Powell Road. Other neigh- borhoods are clustered close to the original village, thereby saving valuable farmland and protecting natural resources as a "green" edge. . Natural vegetation is preserved in Powell, and tree- lined parkways and pedestrian scaled village streets punctuate the natural landscape. . Civic design is important in this community. Stone and white rail fence lines recall the agricultural heritage of the village, along with barns and farm- steads which have been preserved through the village's land trust. Monuments and markers, commemorating locally significant personages and historic places, are located throughout the commu- nity, and the town's public art program has enriched the public places where community events are held. . The Village's open space system consists of reserved natural areas, community entrance gateways which shape primary roadways and slow through-traffic, neighborhood parks, a community recreation center and park, a non-traditional town center green and historic cemetery. . Bikeways and walkways provide access and connec- tions from residential areas to the open space system and the town center, and other nearby destinations. . The historic town center, with its mix of uses, has been renovated and provides many enjoyable social, shopping activities and business offices along tree- lined village streets and new walkways. Its underly- ing scale -- pedestrian scale, narrow streets, ver- nacular architecture -- has been extended to new town center housing nearby. Public parking is provided in the town center where municipal offices are located along with the town's commuter rail transit station. . Powell provides an excellent setting in which to live and work. The community truly is a protected respite from the outside region, and many residents conduct professional businesses from their homes, using tele-commuting technology." Powell Comprehensive Plan Adopted December 20, 1995 It can be said that this vision statement has been a consistent theme of all three master plans. The 1974 Plan indicated much more growth within the area than that which has occurred, undoubt- edly because of changing sentiment about the effects that type of growth would have on the community. The 1988 Plan indicated that same planning boundary and laid the groundwork for a community much larger in size than that of the present village. The 1995 Plan, however, is a more visionary document which provides a framework for decision making based upon the six component recommendations within the plan: achieve the identity of a rural greenbelt town; redevelop the town center; institute an access management page 38 Title A name given to the resource Powell's Golden Days 1997 (p. 38) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/b3a70185a574791b8bd612906c84dfa6.jpg 307e653b4dca1bc831ab62613caf6a5a Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

[drawing] program; achieve a balance of land use mix; shape a small town economic development program; and limit village services. The Village of Powell is certainly at a cross- roads. Implementing public improvements through the VillageScape and Village Green will continue to preserve and enhance the four corners and old village area. Preserving green open spaces as development occurs by keeping density low and preserv- ing tree stands and fence rows will continue the community character people look for when seeking a new place to live. Enhancing the system of parks and pathways, providing the basic services for the community, and promoting com- munity events will continue to increase the sense of community the residents and businesses work so hard to preserve. The crossroads point in all directions. The Village of Powell is heading in the right direction by balancing the new growth with continued improvement of the heri- tage of what continues to be the nicest community in Central Ohio.

ON June 20th, 1850, there appeared in the "Olentangy Gazette" of that date, the following notice, the result of suggestions made at a re- cent meeting of the Common Council of the town of Delaware: BURIAL GROUND NOTICE. The citizens of Delaware and vicinity are requested to meet at the Court House, this evening, at 7 1-2 o'clock, to take into consideration the subject of extending the limits of the present Burying Ground, and making a suitable fence around the same; or of changing the location, if necesssary, and selecting a suit- able place for a new one, as the present ground is nearly all occupied. It is hoped that a subject, in which all must be interested, will ensure a general attendance of the citizens. This meeting was numerously attended; Mr. E. Moore acting as Chairman, and Mr. C. C. Chamberlain as Secretary. After a general interchange of opinion on the necessity of immediate action, Dr. R. Hills moved that a committee of five be appointed, to inquire into the propreity of enlarging the present Burying Ground, or of selecting a new one, and report to an adjourned meeting. This motion was adopted, and Dr. R. Hills, Benj. Powers, James Eaton, D. F. McCullough and C. C. Chamberlain, were appointed to the committee. At the adjourned meeting, held at the same place, on the evening of June 29th, 1850, the committee, through their chairman, made a re- port, of which the following is an abstract: Your committee report, that, in regard to the present Burial Ground, Title A name given to the resource Rules and Regulations and Articles of Association of Oak Grove Cemetery (p. 8) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/8aa717a8ba14ada58ebaf97a7e2b6ad3.jpg 0328dc1b7b5d8a322479bce78b4f0df7 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 6 of Oak Grove Cemetery booklet] 6 the amount of land orginally appropriated--about two acres--has long since been taken up; and that the extensions of Mr. C. C. Cham- berlain, on the north, and Dr. Reuben Lamb, on the south--about two acres more--are nearly all sold. They also find that one acre of ground, belonging to the township, and lying separately from the other by a few rods on the south, is now being used as a pasture in connec- tion with other lands, the monuments being every one broken down, and the inscriptions on nearly all completely effaced. The other grounds are in miserable condition; the fences, partly board, and party worn, are dilapidated; the monuments are some of them broken and defaced, and nearly all leaning in different directions and different degrees; many lots are found to be lapping on each other, and the single carriage avenue or lane through the centre could hardly be found without an expert surveyor, and hogs and cattle are permitted to trample upon and uproot these "houses of the dead" to an extent shameful to the living. Two things are evidently essential to be done under this state of things: the preservation and protection of the old ground, and the pur- chase and appropriation of a new one. The duties of your committee refer only to the latter. An extension of the present ground was first considered; but what was deemed an adequate amount of suitable ground could not be pro- cured--only some eight or ten acres, with three or four of it useless, and at an expense of $200 per acre. The next consideration of the committee was, to ascertain if elsewhere a tract of land could be procured, suitable, in all respects, for a Bury- ing Ground of the character of modern rural cemeteries. After a tho- rough examination in all directions, your committee are unanimous in recommending for this purpose the purchase of the "Kilbourne Farm," a tract of fity acres lying south of the town, one mile distant. A por- tion of this is cultivated, the remainder in a state of nature; the whole undulating and varied in surface, with small rivulets meandering through it. There is also a small frame house, a barn, well, and other improve- Title A name given to the resource Rules and Regulations and Articles of Association of Oak Grove Cemetery (p. 9) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/cd54638311a6bc36f2e03aac6b686ea8.jpg 3ebf119744a1acbb3f12148c224b96d6 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It is certain that no site as eligible as this, in location, accessibility, distance, picturesque views, variety of surface, and as appropriately timbered, can be procured at all. Your committee most decidedly recommend the establishment of a Rural Cemetery, for these, among other reasons. It is in accordance with man's nature, as well as the instinct of the age, to ornament and beautify the sleeping places of the dead. We have all seen the evi- dences of this propensity of the heart, in the turfing of the little hillock, the planting of the rose, the ivy, the evergreen, and beautiful flowers, over the spot where lies the well-remembered dead. With this feeling so strongly implanted in our nature, it is difficult to understand why we appropriate so sparingly of the surface of the earth for the purpose of burial, and especially such public, naked and bleak spots as is custom- ary. It was not always thus; for it was "the field of Ephron,...the field and the cave which was therein, and all the trees which were in the field, and those that were in all the borders round about," that the affectionate heart of the old patriarch, Abraham, prompted him to seek as a "burial place" for "Sarah, his wife." How strangely does this Scriptural picture contrast with the burial places found all over the country, without even an exception until recently ! It is the taste of most persons to visit the graves of the departed-- the places consecrated to memory--and the influence of such practice is unquestionably felt in developing the better feelings of our nature, in chastening the heart and softening down its rough asperities. Let something, then, be done to make attractive these dwelling places of our friends. Let the beauties of nature be fully opened and developed, and combined with the skill of the sculpter, the genius of the architect, and the taste of the florist, to beautify and adorn them. Let the invalid and all others anticipating death, have no other thought than a burial in some sweet, secluded spot, where the green lawn, the spreading oak and bending elm, the cooling shade and rippling water, the rustling leaves and the wild bird's song, and indeed, all the sweet voices of Nature, Title A name given to the resource Rules and Regulations and Articles of Association of Oak Grove Cemetery (p. 10) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/e4a79c02c1081c0112be97945832fcad.jpg ae336e7c72f7183cb893189fb31b69f2 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Your committee, therefore, recommend the adoption of some plan for the purchase of the "Kilbourne Farm," and its improvement for the purposes of a Rural Cemetery. The Report and its recommendations were approved by the meeting, and the same committee were further instructed to report a plan for the organization of a Cemetery Association, to carry into effect the recom- mendations just adopted. On July 13th, 1850, articles of association were adopted and signed by R. Hills, C. C. Chamberlain, D. F. McCullough, James Eaton, B. Powers, T. W. Powell, R. N. Jones, Geo. F. Stayman, C. Hills, C. Platt, E. Moore, S. Rheem, A. A. Welch, Hosea Williams and S. M. Littell; and on August 10th, 1850, by Geo W. Campbell, Geo. Woods Little, W. S. Little, M. L. Griffin, G. W. Stark, II. Van Horn, Asahel Welch and S. Finch. At this meeting, August 10, 1850, Dr. R. Hills, C. C. Chamberlain, James Eaton, B. Powers and D. F. McCullough, were elected Trustees of the Association, and C. Platt, Clerk. This Board was subsequently further organized by the election of Dr. R. Hills as President, and Benj. Powers as Treasurer. A resolution was adopted to organize the Association under the gen- eral act of the Legislature, chartering Cemetery Associations, dated Feb. 24, 1848. A Constitution and By-Laws were adopted. The land was pur- chased of Mr. Kilbourne for the sum of $1,550. The Board decided upon borrowing the sum necessary to meet the first payment of purchase money, and with which to commence improvements. They also decided to improve and dedicate only about thirty acres at present, it being the northern portion of the tract. R. Hills, T. W. Powell and Jas. Eaton, were appointed a committee to lay out the grounds into sections, lots, carriage avenues, walks, &c.

The impressive ceremony of Dedication was held in the grove, in the north-western portion of the grounds, at 10 o'clock on Thursday, July 20, 1851. The day was a beautiful one, and the concourse of citizens large and attentive. The first burial in the Cemetery was on the day of dedication, imme- diately after the ceremonies of the occasion. An amiable old lady, Mrs. McCracken, who had lived just her allotted time of threescore years and ten, was thus fitly appointed by Providence to lead in this place "the way of all flesh."

[This address was mostly a history of the Association, with a general statement of the action of the Board of Trustees, past and prospective. Of the past action a brief statement has already been given, and need not be repeated. Of the latter, it alluded to certain improvements de- cided upon, and in contemplation by the Board, among which was the hedging of the grounds with the Osage Orange so far as practicable, a nursery having been already started for that purpose. A section of ground, something less than one acre, immediately adjoining the en- trance, and upon the right of it, had been reserved, upon which to erect a Gate Lodge, or residence for the superintendent of the grounds. A circular spot of about 900 feet in circumference, on the highest sum- mit of the Ground, and near the front--a most beautiful situation for the purpose--had also been reserved upon which to erect a chapel-- probably at some distant period of time. Allusion was also made to the general principles upon which the Association was based, the provisions of the Charter, the Constitution and By-Laws, and the impression corrected, that a few persons professed to have receieved, to the effect that the Association was established in part as a monetary speculation by a few individuals--the profits from the sales of lots to accrue to them. This was clearly shown to be erro- neous; that all purchasers of lots became part owners of the property, endowed with all the rights and privileges of others, in proportion to the extent of their purchase; that all profits must be applied to the pay- Title A name given to the resource Rules and Regulations and Articles of Association of Oak Grove Cemetery (p. 14) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/ea275db2fc48a094de23b0f9db6ea26f.jpg eeb934e2504fe98ae8cb45871f502980 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The address closed with an announcement, that preparations were now completed for the sale of lots, and an appropriate allusion was made to the first burial upon the grounds, which was to take place on that same day.] DEDICATORY ADDRESS, By the Rev. F. MERRICK, Professor in the Ohio Wesleyan University. "DUST THOU ART, AND UNTO DUST SHALT THOU RE- TURN," was the fiat of Him with whom alone are the issues from death, when the first human pair had by transgression provoked his just displeasure. And from the day the decree went forth even until now, death has swayed his sceptre over the nations, and laid low in the grave each succeeding generation. No age, no circumstances have shielded from his remorseless blow. The infant, sleeping upon its mother's breast, has opened its eyes to close them in the sleep of the grave. The bloom of health upon the cheek of youth has faded, the strength of manhood bowed at the approach of the destroyer, while old age has tottered on its way to the tomb.

Kings have laid aside their robes of royalty, for the habiliments of the tomb; and the beggar in his rags has been borne to his final resting place. The warrior, death's most faithful ally, has at last himself fallen before the mighty archer. The student in his retirement, the man of business in the public mart, the Christian in his closet, and the sensualist in his place of debauch, has each met the dread summons, and passed away. Amid the soft zephyrs of spring, the sultry heats of summer, the decay of autumn, and the frosts of winter, death alike has reveled. "Leaves have their times to fall, And flowers to wither at the north wind's breath, And stars to set : but all-- Thou hast all seasons for thine own, O Death!" Since, therefore, death must pass upon all, it is meet we should provide a suitable spot as the last resting place for the mortal remains of ourselves and friends. I say suitable spot, for since death is an event of so much interest, it cannot be a matter of indifference where rest the sleeping dead. But to select and pre- pare such a spot is no easy task. He who attempts it, should have correct views of life, death, and immortal- ity. He should know what it is to shed the tear of Title A name given to the resource Rules and Regulations and Articles of Association of Oak Grove Cemetery (p. 16) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/77b6795937c978aed78b4cb90a96892f.jpg 12655d6c07e643de87dcc39f45e14950 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

With such views and feelings, he will blend the joy- ous and the sad; for death must ever be regarded as a sad event. "Yea, though promises and hopes strive to cheat its sadness: Full of grief, though faith herself is strong to speed the soul; For the partner of its toil is left behind, to endure the ordeal of change." Men have, indeed, in all ages labored hard to disarm death of his terrors. They have greeted his approach with songs, have decked his victims with flowers, and filled their resting place with cheerful light. Poesy has sung of the quiet of the grave, and satirized the fear of death; while philsophy has recommended a cheer- ful submission to the unavoidable decision of fate. "Still death is terrible--the tear, The groan, the knell, the pall, the bier, And all we know, or dream, or fear Of agony, are his." And the grave--where the eye, the cheek, and the lip of beauty fade, and where the lovely form moulders back to dust--tell me not it has no gloom, nor forbid the falling tear. Hence, thou cold philosopher and dreamy poet, until ye have learned the language of nature, and then ye will bid me stand with the Saviour beside a brother's grave and weep.

But thanks be to God, through whose word "life and immortality are brought to light." "Thy daed men shall live; together with my dead body shall they arise," is its glorious announce- ment. Yes, the grave shall unloose its prisoner, and the ocean's depth uncover the sleeper upon its coral bed. To those who sleep in Christ, there comes a morn of gladness,-- "When love's soft dew o'er every eye Shall shed its mildest rays, And the long silent dust shall burst With shouts of endless praise." Then should the place of sepulture have its lonely glen and sunny hill-side. There should fall the shade of the cypress, the laurel, and the willow; and there, too, should bloom the amaranth, the lily, and the rose. How well adapted is this spot to the use to which we this day dedicate it-- "Midst holy prayers, and generous grief, and consecrating blessings," I need not say. All must feel that, when completed, it will harmonize sweetly with the feelings of the hopeful mourner.

'Tis in a spot like this, Where God's impress is felt, That visions of eternal bliss Will wayward natures melt. Bring hither then the dead! These groves to them are given: A home to those who souls are led To sweeter homes in Heaven. Fond memories soon will bring Affection's tributes here; For human hearts will ever cling To those they once held dear. Oh, cherish then the spot Where loved ones sweetly rest, And where the stricken mourner's thought Upheaves the aching breast! Aye, call it "Holy Ground," Where man should lightly tread-- Jehovah's presence here is found: 'Tis sacred to the dead! BENEDICTION. By the Rev. H. E. PILCHER.

[NOTE.--Everything erected of wood is quickly perishable, and soon assumes that dilapidated condition of which every common grave yard has many examples, as perfect eye-sores. Better, a great deal, that there be no enclosed lots; especially as the entire grounds are to be well protected. The Board desire in the very start to suppress and prevent these destructives of beauty. Much more beautiful, more permanent, and far cheaper enclosures can be made of little hedges of some favorite shrub, either deciduous or evergreen. Or expensive ones may be made of stone and iron, of chains, of wire, &c. The Board, through their officers, will be able and willing to furnish suggestions upon these subjects to those desiring them.] 5. Two or more lots may be included in one en- closure, by arrangement between owners. [NOTE.--The cost of enclosing will thus be cheapened, and the general good effect in appearance will oftentimes be increased. Relatives and neighbors might often be induced to make their selections of lots with this view.] 6.Proprietors of lots may improve and adorn their lots, and the adjoining borders, with trees, shrubs, plants, hedges, &c.; but all such improvements must have the sanction of the Board of Trustees or their agents.

Proprietors of lots may build any suitable monu- ment or monuments thereon, provided that no slab- stone placed upright shall be more than two and a half feet in height, and it is recommended that they be placed so as to face the avenues. [NOTE.--The Board are sensible that they will come in con- flict with past custom and practice in this rule more than in any other. One intention is, to do away entirely with the ordinary thin slab head-stone, as a monument which, though well enough in a crowded, old fashioned grave-yard, with its military style of order and precision, is entire unsuited to the character of a rural, picturesque Cemetery. This can only be appreciated fully by those who have seen the latter; and time will be requisite to reconcile the minds of many to the requirements of the rule. But eventually all will acknowledge the propriety of the restriction. The position of the stone, and impliedly that of the grave, is also of importance. That graves should be dug at a uniform point of the compass, and the head-stones and monuments be placed cor- respondingly, without reference to the locality and direction of avenues, is incompatible with the general design and object; and the idea of a rural Cemetery might as well be abandoned, if this were permitted. The Board will be provided with plans and de- signs of monuments with which to aid persons in deciding with true taste and judgment before any outlay. A plan has recently been introduced of erecting what is termed a "family monument," to be placed in the centre or front of the lot, to contain the re- cords for those buried around, and blank spaces for additional Title A name given to the resource Rules and Regulations and Articles of Association of Oak Grove Cemetery (p. 34) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/7a0e1fc3539a5ffae6e31e5142657e08.jpg e90bae18552e87e5aca6828507816a6f Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

These coffin-shaped hillocks do not harmonize with the spirit that should prevail in such a place--the Spirit of Nature, in all her simpli- city, beauty and purity.

SNELL, Editor VOL. 4 SEPTEMBER, 1930, NUMBER No.3 Paper Making in Delaware County, Ohio [photo: Old dam and mill site, Stratford, Ohio] STRATFORD, a scenic spot on the Olentangy River in Delaware County, Ohio, was once a thriving paper mill village. Today only shrub and vine covered ruins of the old mills and dam remain to hint of its former paper making activities. While Stratford does not re- semble that more famous English Stratford-on- Avon, for which it was named, in natural beauty the Ohio Stratford does not suffer by comparison. The earliest commercial references obtainable state that a grist mill was built in Stratford about 1808. The builder's name is not mentioned, but the record reveals that the property eventually was purchased by Forrest Meeker. He rebuilt and enlarged the mill in 1829 making of it a substantial structure of stone, and adding facilities for carding and fulling wool. The first deed mentioning it as a mill property was recorded August 15, 1832. This deed conveying the property from Forrest Meeker to Forrest Meeker, Jr., for a price of $4,000.00. Samuel Lantz next pur- chased the property at the same price, October 17, 1836, and he in turn sold it to Hosea Williams and Caleb Howard for $5,500.00, June 5, 1838, describing it in the deed as the Meeker Mill property. A Delaware County history written in 1880 by W.H. Perrin and J.W. Battle, gives the following account of the first paper mill on this property: "Sometime in the early thirties Caleb Howard, an enterprising, speculative sort of a man conceived the idea of establishing a paper mill at what is now Stratford, and succeeded in interesting Judge Hosea Williams, a safe, cautious business man in the project. (Judge Hosea Williams came of Welch parentage. He was born in Berkshire County, Mass., August 3, 1792, was educated, and clerked in a general store in Pittsfield, Mass. He came to Delaware County with his parents in 1817. He died February 12, 1876.) "In the Spring of 1838 the old flouring mill, with the mill privileges and property, were bought, the old dam replaced by a splendid stone structure and a paper mill put in operation October 1, 1839. John Hoyt was the first superin- tendent. He gave the classic name of Stratford to the place.

Eastman, Mary Stew- ard, Mary Pierce, Mary McClure. Hiram G. Andrews, a Delaware merchant, who was born in Franklin County, Ohio, July, 1813, purchased half of Caleb Howard's holdings in the mill property for $9,000, on September 5, 1843, and the balance, for $10,000, on April 25, 1845--in all, a five-twelfths interest in the business. In 1849 the old flouring mill was fitted for the manufac- ture of half a ton of wrapping paper daily. About ten men were em- ployed. On February 27, 1857, the entire plant was burned with a loss of $25,000, the insurance not exceeding $10,000. In November, 1857, a two- story stone building about 50x80 feet, with several additions was built at a cost of about $30,000. By this time the mill was recognized as the most important paper mill west of the Alle- ghany Mountains. At the time of the fire the firm had accounts of $10,000 due from the State, and in 1861 they had a large contract with the State which, owing to the unforeseen and extraordinary rise in the paper market, they were compelled to ask to have rescinded. The main mill manufactured print and book papers and the one on the site of the old flouring mill furnished wrapping paper. An Artesian well sunk 210 feet through solid rock furnished water for purifying purposes. Steam furnished power during low stages of water. ANDREWS AND PERRY COMPANY Wishing to retire from the business Hiram G. Andrews, on June 10, 1865 deeded "for $5.00 and love and affection" his five-twelfths interest in the business to his son James. James Andrews then purchased a one-twelfth interest from Hosea Williams for $2,000. Norman D. Perry, who was superintendant of the mill, also purchased a one-twelfth interest from Williams for $2,000, and the mill was operated as the Andrews and Perry Company. In the late sixties, Abraham Dewitt and his brother-in-law, a Mr. Brown, with his son operated the mill possibly by lease, as there is no record of ownership. There is also mention of Abraham and Isaac Vought, who were related by mar- riage to Perry, having been interested in some way. On August 25, 1870, John H. Mendenhall, a successful Delaware merchant, purchased the half interest of James Andrews for $20,000, and the name of the concern was changed to the Delaware Paper Company. DELAWARE PAPER COMPANY The first edition of Lockwood's Paper Mill Directory, 1872, lists the mill as having one 42" and one 48" cylinder machines making newsprint, book, tea wrap- per and tissue papers in one mill and straw wrapping in the other. The business evidently was prosperous for Mr. Mendenhall purchased another mill at this time in Henry, Ill., on the Illinois River. This Mill made a ton of newsprint daily on a 54-inch cylinder machine. Associated with Mr. Mendenhall were two sons of his Stratford partners, Hiram R. Andrews and Albert Perry. These young men managed the Henry mill. In 1873 and 1874 Norman D. Perry, Jacob L. Klein and Andrew J. Clark purchased small interests in the Stratford mill. On August 1, 1874, Andrews sold his interest in the Henry mill to Isaac Title A name given to the resource Superior facts (p. 2) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/84d4ed1742d0be6e45a1ca8c25e77b1c.jpg 1abf07b834aca8b01122d341678c845a Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Unfortunately the insurance had been allowed to lapse and Mr. Mendenhall was a heavy loser. He was obliged to pay indorsed notes held against the company. The Stratford mills were operated as a partnership and Mr. Mendenhall, being a man of means, was held for its obligations. An assignment was made by Perry, Klein and Clark for the benefit of the creditors. The assets were not sufficient to meet the claims of the creditors. Mr. Mendenhall's claim was a personal one for notes given when he sold his stock. Those loses practically ruined him financially, and coupled with a general business depression the mills suffered accordingly. Lack of orders and run-down equipment made operating expensive. Operations were finally sus- pended in 1876. The organization was bankrupt and an assignment was made by Perry, Klein, and Clark on behalf of the creditors. After a hard fight by Mr. Mendenhall the courts established a value of $36,540 on the property. About this time the Hill Brothers, Frank A. and Fred P., successful farmers and stock raisers of Delaware County, and grandsons of Hosea Williams, one of the original owners of the mill, were anxious to reopen the mill. They obtained the property at the court sale on April 10, 1877. With them in the enterprise were their father, Chauncy Hill, and a nephew, Velorus T. Hill. THE HILLS PAPER COMPANY This new organization operated the mills under the management of Fred P. Hills. Frank A. Hills was in charge of manufacturing, but having no working knowledge of the business he was obliged in 1879, to secure the services of Solomon Wagg as superintendent. Mr. Wagg had been running a machine at the L.L. Brown Mill of North Adams, Mass. Mr. Wagg soon left Stratford to run the mill at Woodsville, Ohio, William Osborn succeeding him. Mr. Osborn also came from the L.L. Brown Mill. The Hills were not successful as paper manufacturers and sold the mill on March 13, 1882. Joshua R. Randall of Elkhart, Ind., a paper salesman with some prac- tical knowledge of papermaking, induced Charles W. Edsell, and Nelson W. Mills, merchants of Ostego, Michigan, to invest with him. They formed a partnership known as Randall-Mills and Edsell. [photo: Another view of Stratford Mill Hills Paper Co.] RANDALL-MILLS & EDSELL The new owners took over the mills, Mr. Randall acting as manager and superintendent. Matters went poorly and Mr. Edsell moved to Delaware and took over the mill management. Adam Glass, a salesman of Buffalo, N.Y., joined him and together they purchased the interests of Randall and Mills. GLASS-EDSELL PAPER COMPANY The property was sold for $60,000 to the Glass-Edsell paper Company, Incor- porated, December 18, 1884, the incorporators being Adam Glass, Charles W. Ed- sell, Amasa Burch, Edward Fowler and William Corner. Mr. Corner, or Connor as some of the records give it, was superintendent. Many improvements were made. A mile spur track was built off the Hocking Valley Railraod to the mill, eliminating the three-mile trucking to and from Delaware. In 1884 they installed a 60-inch Black and Clawson Fourdrinier machine and in 1885 a second 48-inch Fourdrinier was installed, replacing the clylinder machines. Owing to lack of power for competitive production the buisness again proved unprofitable and re- sulted in a total loss to the stockholders. An assignment was made on December 7, 1893. THE DELAWARE PAPER COMPANY This company was incorporated February 24, 1894, and started to make straw wrapper on the two Fourdriniers, but soon changed them over to cylinder ma- chines.

STRATFORD PAPER MILLS--WESTCOTT AND SCANLON Robert Scanlon operated the mill in 1897 and 1898 as the Stratfrod Paper Mills, making straw-rag and manilla lining paper. The Stratford Mills were succeeded in 1899 by Westcott and Scanlon, operated a short time and closed permanently. A success was never again made of the mills. The machinery was sold to Seromlin and Westcott and Herbert Peck purchased the real estate for $2,000, according to records, February 11, 1899. Herman Reidel was the last superintendent to operate the mill. In 1900 Robert Scanlon was active in organizing the Brownstown Straw Board Paper Company, who purchased the two machines in the Stratford mill, equipping a mill at Brownstown, Ind, now the Kieffer Paper Company, where these original machines are still in operation. In 1902 the Columbus, Delaware, and Marion Electric Railroad Company pur- chased the Stratford Mill property and converted the buildings into a carbarn and repair shops. On December 15, 1927, the buildings were totally destroyed by fire and never rebuilt. The big flood of 1913 destroyed the waterpower and as there is not the volume of water that formerly flowed through Olentangy River, there is little possibility that this will ever be developed again for power or manufacturing purposes. Of the people formerly associated with these mills, Charles W. Edsell, after failing to make good at paper making, returned to Otsego where he has been very successful as a real estate operator. He is in good health and with his wife cele- brated their fifty-first weddng anniversary in Florida last winter. Fred Palmer Hills, former manager of the mill, is now associated with the Delaware Savings Bank. James Price, an old time employee, is living retired at Stratford. Geo. Hesser, former superintendent of the Riverside Paper Company, Appleton, Wis., but now retired was once a machine tender at Stratford. Harman Breyfogle, the first backtender on "The big 60-inch Fourdrinier" is now living at White Pigeon, Mich. Herbert A.

Chain, Chain, Who Made the Chain ? In July Number of Superior Facts we told how Lime Rock, Conn., forges were said to have produced the chain that was stretched across the Hudson River in Revolutionary days to prevent British warships from reaching West Point. George Gammie, assistant superintendent of the Rolalnd Paper Company, St. Jerome Quebec, tells us that while he was superintendent at a mill in Moodna, N.Y., he heard similar claims for the forge at Moodna. Since publishing the Lime Rock item we have heard similar claims of forges in Saratoga and Columbia Counties, N.Y. From what we learn this famous chain was hurriedly put together and every available forge was pressed into the service of making portions of it for the emergency. We will be pleased to receive and publish any definite facts regarding the actual making of this chain from our readers.--Editor.

Breyfogle] I was born in Stratford, Ohio, and started my career in the paper industry at the age of thirteen as a cutter boy in the old Stratford Wrapping Mill which was then owned by the Randall-Mills and Edsell. Later came my pro- motion to backtender and three years after I was assigned as machine tender at the daily wage of $1.25. Six months later I became machine tender for the Hastings Paper company, Enon, Ohio, under S.W. Sroufe, who is now superintendent of the Dresden Paper Mills Company, Dresden, Ohio. I worked there for about two years, saving sufficient money meanwhile to take a course in a business college. I next secured a machine tending job in the F.J. Diem and Company mill, Dayton, Ohio. Two years later this mill was taken over and closed by the Columbia Straw Paper Company. I then went with the Nixon Paper Company, Richmond, Indiana, set up an old Fourdrinier and started on lightweight bag paper. I was with this mill until it closed. In 1893 I returned to Stratford to work for the then new Delaware Paper Company. From there I went to Steubenville, Ohio, to run a machine for Hartje Brothers under Tom Bygot, superintendent. I was with this Company two and a half years. The Tarentum Paper Mills installed a new machine and I joined them as a machine tender for one year. From this mill I went with the Harvey Paper Company, Wellsburg, West Virginia, to run a machine that the Black and Clawson Company had removed from a Louisville, Kentucky, mill and rebuilt. My next move was to the Ford Manufacturing Company, Clinton, Iowa, and soon after I went to Alexandria, Indiana, to run machine for the Alexandria Paper Company, where I remained for eighteen months. Wehn the Wayne Mill, Hartford City, Indiana, installed a new machine, I went with them to start it up. Next I joined with John and Al Wiley in a lease of the old National Paper Company, Waterloo, Iowa, and ran it a short time. I next went with the Chicago Coated Board Company. Tom Harvey, now manager of the Gardner Harvey Paper Company, was superintendent. I moved on to the Beveridge Paper Co- pany and ran a machine for them, leaving to go with the Franklin Manufactur- ing Company, Franklin, Pa. W.D. Boyce had purchased this mill and J.E. Daley was superintendent. Mr. Daley hired me to dismantle the mill and after it was shipped to Marseilles, Illinois, I set up the machinery and started the mill. From there I went with the Marion Paper Company, and then with the Ohio Boxboard Company as superintendent. I was with this company thre years, after which I joined the Western Board and Paper Company as super- intendent. I built and started up this mill. Later I went with the Oscar Felt and Paper Company, and rebuilt it as a board mill, the name being changed to the Michigan Box Board Company. From this mill I went to Kalamazoo, Michigan, as superintendent of the Standard Paper Company. I was with them about three years. After this I went with Mr. G.H. Nood, president of the River Raisin Paper Company, as general superintendent of the Bogalusa Paper Company, and was with them during the building and starting up of this mill. My father, Henry S. Breyfogle, started to work as a teamster for the Andrew, Perry and Mendenhall in 1858. He later became a machine tender, and the most of this time as beater engineer. I can remember old Joe Phillips when he ran a machine at Stratford, but only for a short time as he was noted as being "the tramp paper maker."

PSOCIDAE CORRIDENTIA alias PSOCIDS or BOOK and DUST LOUSE This pest is probably more disgusting and annoying than it is destructive. It only feeds on the paste and glue used in binding books or the animal or vegetable substance of surface sized or coated papers when they are damp. A. E. Back, Entomologist, in Farmers Bulletin No. 1104 of the United States De- partment of Agriculture, tells us in part: "Book lice or psocids are the tiny white or grayish-White insect-, scarcely as long as the width of an ordinary pinhead, and often much smaller, that scurry across the pages when old, musty books are opened. "They appear in houses in greatest num- bers during late summer and early fall, and are more abundant in damp, well-shaded rooms not in general use, and in houses long closed. Very few are found in bright, sunny, dry rooms in constant use. "Book lice run in a halting fashion over everything in the house. They feed on all sorts of vegetable and animal matter. It is not often that they become abun- dant, and when they do, they attract attention more by their annoying presence than by the actual damage caused. They injure man in no way and are there- fore unlike the true lice. "The book lice that occur in houses have no wings and are seldom one- sixteenth of an inch long, often much smaller. They are pale colored, almost white when young, hut as they grow older are darkened somewhat by the food they have eaten, for this shows through their more or less translucent bodies. When old, musty books are opened suddenly, the book lice may be seen scurry- ing across the pages in a halting and uncertain fashion, and frequently they are noticed upon door screens, window panes, furniture, books and photographs or upon almost any object in the room. "Book lice thrive best in closed rooms that are warm and damp. Seldom are they noticed in light, airy rooms in constant use. They are found in houses that have been closed all summer. They die off during cold weather, but may leave behind them eggs which hatch the following spring to furnish the infesta- tion for the succeeding year. Ordinarily they do not become abundant enough to attract attention until late summer or early fall. "Upholstered furniture and mattresses Stuffed with straw, husks, hair, feathers or moss are especially favorable places for their multiplication, and in the worst cases of infestation on record the psocids have come from such sources. They have been found in myriads in straw in barns and stables, in the straw coverings of wine bottles in cellars, and in rooms in which tow used in the manufacture of upholstered furniture is kept. "One record on file indicates the usual history of infestation. In a new house kept by very neat occupants a mattress of hair and corn husks which had been purchased not more than six months before was found in a badly infested condition after the house had been closed about six weeks. It was so covered with psocids that a pin could not he stuck into the mattress without piercing an insect. The side of the sheet next to the mattress was likewise covered, and a further search showed the walls and the entire house to be swarming with the tiny pests. A sweep of the hand over the walls would gather them by the thousands.

Description An account of the resource [page 7] SUPERIOR FACTS 7 HOW TO CONTROL BOOK LICE IN HOUSES "Where only a few book lice are present, a thorough cleaning, airing and drying of the room is all that is needed, provided the source of infestation is within the room itself. As many as possible of the objects in the room should be removed and thoroughly sunned on a bright day. The room should be heated to a temperature of from 120 to 140 degrees F.'. for several hours. Psocids are soft-bodied insects and succumb to a long drying due to heat. Where rooms are located on the ground Hour in loosely constructed buildings in shaded and damp situations, as are many summer cottages, so many psocids come in from the outside that almost no treatment will entirely rid a room of them. "When book lice swarm in alarming numbers over and throughout a room the breeding places should be located at once. If the source is old straw or husk fillings of mattresses, these should he removed and burned wherever pos- sible. Thorough fumigation with the fumes of sulphur,* 1 pound of sulphur being burned for each 1,000 cubic feet of space, is effective. Where other pests are present, such as bedbugs, and where the bleaching effects of the fumes can lie disregarded, as in barracks, .5 pounds of sulphur will prove effective. During fumigation the rooms should he kept closed as tightly as possible, and after five or six hours opened from without and thoroughly aired. Fumigation with hydrocyanic-acid gas is very effective, hut dangerous in the hands of inexpe- rienced persons.(See Farmers' Bulletin 699.) "Closets, boxes, trunks and sometimes even entire rooms, where infested ob- jects are kept near the floor, can he fumigated satisfactorily with carbon disul- phid. (See Fanners' Bulletin 799.) In addition to cleanliness and plenty of sunlight, licit or fumigation, wherever it can be applied, will yield the best results, if the source of infestation has been removed." The Cambridge Natural History book on insects says: "One specie of the family of Psocidea, Clothilla Pulsatora, is widely known as the 'Death Watch' owing to the belief that it is able to make a peculiar ticking noise supposed to be prophetic of the decease of some individual (human not insect). The Rev. W. Derham, who two hundred years ago was rector of Upminster in Essex (England) gave an account of the ticking of the dentil watches to the Royal Society. He said: 'I am now so used to and skillful in the matter as to be able to see and show them beating almost when I please by having a paper with some of them in it, conveniently placed, and imitating their pulsations which they will readily answer.' He said he could only hear them when it was done on paper and that the death watches would tick for hours at a time resembling the ticking of a watch." "*Before resorting to sulphur fumigation the householder should be warned that sulphur fumes can unite with moisture in the air to form sulphuric acid, thus having a bleaching effect upon wall paper and other articles, as well as tarnishing metals of all sorts. The damper the house, the greater the bleaching. In houses thoroughly dried by heat very little bleaching occurs. (Householders possessing homes furnished with rare or valuable articles should never use sulphur.)" BOYS OF THE GAY '90s DO YOU KNOW THEM? [photo: Left to right:?"Count" Kuppers of Arabol Mfg.

From "Consolidated News," published by the Consolidated Water Power and Paper Co. God bless these tourists that come from far and near, wanting to go through a paper mill. "I came all the way from Iowa just to see how paper is made," they say. Others happened to see the smoke stack and thought they would drop over. We enjoy the college eo-ed or schoolma'am, studying industrial problems, getting ready to write an article on "From Logs to Paper" or something like that. Recently a not bad looking dame in her middle thirties appeared and uttered a wish to visit the mill. She was getting information for a thesis so we took her at her word and also took her by the arm and guided her hither and thither. "I will send you a copy of my thesis," quoth she,--and here it is: WOOD comes into the paper mill in rafts, gondolas or hookahorns and dumped into a pond containing hot water. In the wood room there are a large number of men engaged in sawing the logs in two and throwing them into huge revolving tubes which scrape off the bark and broom the ends sufficiently to permit it to be ground into chips. The chips travel on a belt to the sulphite mill where they are put into a rotating device called a sulphur burner. Here the wood mixes with sulphur and then the chips are cooled off in the cooler, ready for making paper. Some of the wood goes to the grinder room and ground Op, where a high pressure water pump forces the wood from the bins to the grindstone, resulting in a pulpy substance which is pumped to the suction presses. The free stock flows freely, while the slow stock travels more slowly. Before the pulp gets to the paper machines, it is passed through screens which take out the foreign material from Canada. The paper machine is a huge device consisting of a lot of rolls which revolve at the rate of 500 to 1,000 feet per minute. The pulp first goes through a copper screen called a wire, then into a wire pit where the fibres are criss-crossed by the machine tender.The back-tender takes care of the backside of the machine. The paper is then pulled through perforated rolls, called suction rolls, by means of vacuum pumps. These pumps are kept in a vacuum. In order to get the paper in good shape for printing it must be dried and then wound on reels where it is rubbed thoroughly with clay, alum, chlorine and jordans. In the boiler house there are large stokers filled with tubes and super heaters. The coal is emptied into a hopper on the roof and let down to the boilers, first passing through the preheaters and then through stokers and economizers. Attempt is made at all times to keep water in the boilers, otherwise the fireman would he put to considerable inconvenience. In the power plant are the generators which are filled with coils, volts and switch panels. The water rushes through the generators, causing them to revolve and produce thousands of kilowatts. These kilowatts are used in the process of paper manufacture. Story of Osborns Soon Limited space prevented us from publishing the history of the Osborns in this issue.

Howard in 1885] In his own words and style, Mr. Howard relates the following highly interesting side lights of his career in paper making and the history of the old Strat- ford Mills. To old friends, Mr. Howard will be better known as Edward W. Hougawout, the later name having been changed in re- cent years for the sake of brevity and clarity. Mr. Howard now resides at Kau- kanna. Wis., and we wish to credit and thank him for much of the information used in our story of Stratford. "I was born in Andover Township, Sus- sex County, New Jersey, of Colonial Scotch Irish and Dutch stock. My maternal grand- father did costume weaving. My paternal grandfather owned and operated a saddlery ?harness shop, we would call it. Before railroads were so common all heavy freight was carried across the country by great canastoga wagons drawn by four, six, or eight heavy mules. The great demand for saddles and harness made the saddlery busi- ness very important and profitable. "I do not remember much about home or conditions there before the Civil War since I was only five years old when the war broke out. My father enlisted on the first call, leaving his little mason contracting business which his business friends absorbed during his absence. That made it necessary for us to strike out for ourselves as soon as we were old enough. "My mother's folks were interested in a paper mill at Stratford, Delaware County, Ohio. Before I arrived in 187J the old owners had died or sold out. This mill was three miles from any railroad, on the west side of the Olentangy River about twenty-five miles north of Columbus. It had a good stone dam with water power six or eight months in the year. This company owned a straw wrapping mill up near the dam, which was operated when there was surplus water power. That old wrapping mill was a relic of tile middle ages. The machine was hand made?that it, built up of scraps, odds and ends from the machine in the lower mill. It was tied up and wired from stem to stern. The two beaters were driven by a spur gear off a water wheel, one beater being on either side of tile spur from which both were driven. The lower, or 'white mill," as it was called, had been built originally for a writing paper mill and had been operated as such for many years. "When I arrived on the scene they were making newsprint entirely of rags, on a little machine a man could reach across. In Delaware, two and a half miles from the mill, there was man named Blackwell who ran twenty-five tin peddler wagons out into the country trading tinware for rags, brass and copper. Black- well sold those rags to the nearest paper mills. Stratford mill employed forty to sixty girls in the rag room. They made nineteen sorts of these nice clean country rags. They sold new white cotton cuttings, new white linen cuttings, new brown linen cuttings, new brown cotton cuttings, soft wool, hard wool, all wool blankets, half wool blankets, number one all white no seams, number two old white with seams, and light calicoes. I have forgotten how to classify them now. My first job was baling up the sorts that were sold. The new cuttings were shipped to Massachusetts and the woolens to Philadelphia. I managed to work through the mill in a year or two. "The machine was one of the first cylinder machines with six dryers, pro- ducing in twenty-four hours about twenty-four hundred pounds of all rag paper used for print. If they had stuck to writing paper or tissue it would not have been so bad, but to use such stock for print was a crime.

The stock was bleached with powder instead of liquor, colored white with ultramarine blue, mea- sured up with a tin cup instead of being weighed. No red was used. Rosin was put in the beaters in paste form instead of being dissolved in water. It looked dark red like soft soap made with wood ashes. The paper was hard and strong. It should have been since it was made by strong, hard-boiled people. That Stratford was a hard joint at that time. After I had been there a year or two the company went bankrupt and was bought out by Hills Brothers, local men in the town of Delaware. One of the Hills, Frank, was a gentleman farmer. [photo: W. Howard today] He was made manager. He was a fine person but knew nothing about the business. They put a teamster on to run a machine. The young man was all right as a teamster hut knew nothing about paper making. Two or three of the machine boys and myself were the only old men in the mill. We had a lot of sport with the new machine tender. One day we pursuaded him that the dryer bearings were getting hot, burning. He shut the machine down and tried to cool them off by pouring water on them. "I worked pretty much all through the mill?rag room, heater, steam engine, tiring, and even filled the rotary and cut rags. When I left I was running the beaters. They had two two hundred fifty-pound beaters and one six hundred- pound beater nd two three hundred-pound washers. The mill was then in very bad repair. It was no unusual thing to shut down two or three hours for repairs. One day the main three-inch line shaft broke, and had to he taken down to a blacksmith shop to be fixed. We shoved one end through the front door and the other one in the back, got the two ends together in the forge fire, put the heat on, jammed the two ends together, smoothed it up, straightened it out and put it back. It ran without ever going into a lathe. That was some job even for this day. "My next jump was to Ohio, with Woodsdale Chatfield and Woods of Cin- cinnati. Next I went to Batavia, Illinois, July 1, 1880. The Van Nortwicks had converted the old Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad shops into a paper mill. It had three machines and just started a new ninety-two inch Four- drinier, the largest in the west at that time. They were making straw print, eighty-five per cent, straw and five per cent, rag, and about ten per cent, ground wood. It had five large digestors using straw from nearby farms. They did not buy and store the straw at that time. The farmers brought it in under contract and there seemed always to be a surplus. The help were a wild and wooly lot. Whiskey was cheap and lots of it was consumed. I only stayed there four months. The job was too much for any one man. They emptied from forty-two to forty-five beaters and four washers, and there were no Jordans in the mill. We were at it all the time. The beaters were never all furnished at one time. "The beater helpers had to help fill straw digestors three or four times at night. That put the beaters back and altogether it was a rush job, a two man job. On October twenty-eight, I had a row with the boss about one of the machine tenders who would be drunk all day and try to work his night shift. I was the goat for his lessened production, or smaller rim of paper. On the train into Chicago on the morning of November 1, 1880, the boss jollied me and tried to have me return to work because he had found out where the trouble had been in his mill. But I did not go hack; I had had enough of that stuff, and, let me add that during my forty-eight years in the mill my only serious trouble came from drinking mates, drinking helpers, and also drinking bosses, the last being the worst of all. Prohibition may not function as some believe, but the drunken boss is a rare bird in the year of Our Lord 1930, while in 1880 he was only too common. "My next job was in the Mead and Nixon Mill, Dayton, Ohio. John Luke, one of the founders of the West Virginia Paper Company, was superintendent of the mills. One machine was on hook and one on manila wrapping paper made of pine and spruce.

I got a lot of experience here for John Luke was a first class paper maker. "I left Dayton and went to work for the Miamisburg Paper Company at Miamisburg. Boss Hughes, a Scotch-Irish boy, was superintendent. One day he told me to go out and help fight ice on the racks, and I told him to go to a warmer place. That was in February, 1881; I bad been there since December, 1880. There I met Cuningham, Johnson, and other old timers from the other mill, the Ohio Paper Mill. I did not get along very well with my boss so I left the Miami Valley and went to South Bend, Indiana. "I found the South Bend mill more modern, three machines, all water power, but no Jordans yet in my experience. Before I left South Bend they had in- stalled a Brightman refining engine. It was cone shaped about four feet long and three feet across at the big end and tapered to about eighteen inches at the small end. It was failure; no more of that type were built as far as I know. The first time they shut down after I went there was January 20, 1883. John Bolton and I went to the Franklin Paper Company at Franklin, Ohio. We remained there till May, 1883. The South Bend Company reorganized and sent for us so we went back. They got a superintendent from Ohio to run the mill in mid-summer. He cut every man's pay on September 1, 1883. I quit along with every other paper maker in the mill and went to the new mill at Eau Claire, Wisconsin, which had been promoted by the same William Beach who built the South Bend Mill. "Eau Claire was at that time a lumber town with eight large saw mills. The paper mill was on the Chippewa Lumber and Boom Company's dam. They had one seventy-six inch Fourdrinier machine, two six hundred-pound beaters, washers, Jordan, and four Datvon wood grinders. They made print from rag and ground wood. There was a surplus of water power at all times; the best power I ever worked on. I went there as a beaterman, then they put me in the rag room as foreman. Ted Pope became manager and Elmer Pope foreman. The mill was a wooden shell stuck up on the bluffs so near the dam that they tapped the dam with the forehay within twenty feet. We were never bothered with ice. The water wheels were set too high and when water went down, the steps would burn out. That was how Ted Pope lost his big toe, going after the men when they were putting in new steps. When they had fooled along for a year or two putting in new steps they finally lengthened out the draft tubes. Here was a good chance for a mill, good water, plenty of money, and every- thing necessary but it was not a success. The Davises of Neenah bought it and rebuilt the whole plant. "When I arrived in the Eau Claire mill things were not in such good shape. Drainers were all filled with rags that were not cooked. The half stuff was full of colored threads which could not he bleached out so it made specks in the paper; the color was off, and the wood pulp showed slivers which made the sheet rough. We got the rags cooked by putting a padlock on the steam valve of the rotary. They fired with wet green slabs and when the steam went down the firemen would shut off the rotary to save shutting down the paper machine. There was nothing in Eau Claire for me hut trouble. "I jumped from there to Rockland, Delware. Went to work for William Luke in the Rockland mill, Jessup and More Paper Company. This was October, 1886. I was thirty years old. I stayed with Mr. Luke for four years and learned many things from him, how to make stuff on time and a lot about coloring paper. This was an up-to-date concern; everything in good running order and the dis- cipline in the mill was perfect. In March, 1890 we moved to Appleton, Wisconsin, to work for the Fox River Paper Company. The Lincoln Mill had just been finished. We started on all rag bond, fine, and superfine. It ran the first seven years without a jordan. In all those years we dragged along with ice and low water. The power never was sufficient. From 1890 to 1915 it was h?l, one long nightmare, when I look back at it all. I worked from one job to another and when I quit in 1920 I was honored with the title of assistant superintendent. Ernest Timm was my boss. I was sixty-four years old. "I don't think paper making has been much of a trade since the jordan and sulphite pulp came into use; nor is the paper the same. New standards are being established by young men coming into all branches of the production and selling departments of the game, making for many radical changes. But who cares? Who knows the difference?"

Every year we supply award ribbons to 70 per cent of the county fairs in Ohio, we have been the winning bidder for the Ohio State Fair's business for the past several years, and we have good cov- Title A name given to the resource Blue Ribbon Factory (p. 2) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/d872428b506774639ee278c0569e0bc2.jpg 18c3fd3c7fb7e0521a0dc9189e2fd934 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

"California, too, has become a major market for us, and we ship to Alaska, the Dominican Republic, and as far away as the Philippines. We can't do much in Canada or Great Britain because of their high tariffs. Spanish let- tering for ribbons going to the Dominican Republic give us a little trouble sometimes, and we keep a dictionary handy to check the spelling. "We use over a million yards of ribbon a year. I think it is safe to say our employes handle two to three times that many different pieces of varying widths and lengths in a year's time. Satin and a combination of satin and silk are used for the bulk of our orders, but there are a few customers who demand pure silk. "Beside fairs, such events as horse, dog and cat shows, hobbies, stamps, antiques, flowers, live stock, track meets, school science fairs and bathing beauty competitions help make prize-ribbons manufacturing a year-around business. Twenty years ago rabbit shows were very popular, and made us a good winter business, but these have died out, and we keep looking for something else to take their place. Our production is at lowest ebb from November through March, picking up then as fairs open in southern states and hitting a peak in mid-July." In the process of making award ribbons, the desired wordage first is hand-set in brass or bronze type, which is in itself quite expensive--some of the pieces being worth as much as $1.50 each. The type is placed in either an automatic machine or hand operated press, depending on (Continued) [photo: Rosettes, which adorn the more elaborate prize ribbons, require a special sewing machine on which ribbon is pleated.] Title A name given to the resource Blue Ribbon Factory (p. 3) http://delawarecountymemory.org/files/original/cc35b90ba6849d7fb555df3b8a6f1356.jpg a9e998247cc046d9d9f3300f11ad3b99 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Since many prize ribbons are a one-of-a-kind proposi- tion, necessitating frequent changes in legend and color of fabric, the gas heated tipple, or tip, presses get plenty of use. On the machines used in turning out larger orders, both the ribbon and gold leaf move into position over the type automatically. Actually, "gold" leaf is somewhat of a misnomer, for on most jobs a composition leaf is employed quite satis- factorily and at lower cost to the customer. Where pure gold leaf is required, all unused portions are carefully saved and returned to the manufacturer for salvage and credit. Several of the machines used int he Powers plant have been adapted to the ribbon business from other industries such as shoe manufacturing, bookbinding and automobile brake-band cutting. After printing, flat ribbons go to the sewing room for hemming and pressing. Rosettes, which are enjoying great popularity, are a special art. They require a special sewing machine for pleating the ribbon, and as high as 78 different hand and machine operations are required in making some of the most complicated designs. To meet the varied requirements of their many clients, the Powers company has added convention badges, ban- ners and silk screen posters to its production, besides handling a line of trophies. Another natural forward step would be the ticket business, Powers believes. Competition has many rewards. Every time a prize ribbon is handed out, there are two winners--the fellow who gets the award, and the ribbon maker in Asley, Ohio.
