I now know how Neil Armstrong must havefelt when he took that first small stepon the moon 20 years ago!

Dear Members:

In the past few months, we have takenseveral small steps toward our goal ofhaving a .Richland County Room at O.G.S.Headquarters in the Bushnell House. Our

thanks go to Mr. and Mrs. Charles Miller, Mr. and Mrs. Maynard Miller andMrs. Robert A. Cunning for their contributions to this project.

specialMr. and

RICHLAND CO. GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY MAILIS TO BE SENT TO P. O. BOX 3823,MANSFIELD, OH 44907-0823.

######################################

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE HAVE A NEW ADDRESSFOR ALL MAIL. NEWLY-FORMED RICHLAND CO.MUSEUM ASSOC. IS USING OUR FORMER P. O.BOX NUMBER 3154 AT LEXINGTON, OH 44904;SO MAIL FOR THE MUSUEM IS TO BE SENTTHERE .

We have also received some book shelves from the Lexington Library. Now we arewaiting for O.G.S. to solve the water problem, which, I have been assured, will bedone. Once this is completed, we will install better lighting and be ready to putour records there.

Another small step was designing a new letterhead for our stationery and to get ourown post office box. This was necessary when we leased the Richland County Museum.I believe the new letterhead will give us our own identity as Richland CountyGenealogical Society.

President's Message Continued

We have been collecting research material for our society, such as 162 volumesof newspapers dated from 1870-1919. These are issues of The Mansfield Herald,Mansfield Daily Herald, Daily Shield and Shield and Banne~All of them havebeen microfilmed. It is our plan to abstract these papers.

We have also received five trunks of personal belongings of the "Workmen Girls,"founders of the Angel Refuge here in Mansfield. These things will have to besorted for their genealogical and historical value.

My thanks to Richland County Historical Society for the above-mentioned items.

Much work lies ahead of us; so keep in mind when things get slow, we have lotsof work.

As far as known, the first white man to put foot on any land in RichlandCounty, Ohio, was James Smith, who was a relative of the Smiths of thiscommunity. He was captured by the Indians when he was 18-years-old,adopted into the tribe and lived with them for four years. Before heescaped in 1759, he had hunted over much of this territory. This immediatesection was considered by the Indians as the very best hunting grounds andwas used by the Wyandotte, Ottawa, Delaware and Shawnee Tribes.

About 1809, settlers began to come into this vicinity. The first house inWashington Village was a round log school house on the site of the presentchurch about 1820. The first teacher was DAVID COULTER. The year was di­vided into two terms of three months each, and a common rate of pay was$2.00 per pupil for each term.

A story is told of one school which was having prayer before dismissal inthe evening, when a large rattlesnake stuck its head through a crack in thefloor and watched the scene. No one dared move until prayer ended and thenthe boys killed the snake. Which school this was is not known, but it mayhave been our local school. The outcropping of rock on the Mary Flemingfarm was a rattlesnake den. This den was destroyed by burning over the hill.Snake skeletons were found for sometime thereafter in the cracks betweenthe rocks.

Washington Village was laid out in 1837 by JOHN CONWELL, WESLEY BARNES andJAMES SIRPLISS on land owned by these gentlemen. In all, there were 32lots, eight to each quarter. The survey was made by JOHN STEWART November18, 1837, and was recorded November 22, 1837. JOHN LIN was Justice of thePeace at that time.

Each lot was 60 x 120 feet with a 20-foot alley in the rear and 10-footalleys between every other lot. The roads were also laod out 60 feet wide.There were 22 houses in the village when surveyed~anda wagon shop, coopershop, blacksmith shop and store and also a stable on the back of most of thelots. MARK FINNICUM opened the first store and EMILUS DAY, the first black­smith shop. Soon a post office was opened, Barnes Post Office, named fromits first postmaster. Mail was brought each day, except Sunday, from Mans­field by horse and wagon. Themail carrier traveled from Davis Post Officeto Mansfield and back each day, approximately 18 miles each way. £or a dime,a person could ride to Mansfield. Barnes Post Office continued until about1900, when the rural delivery was started. The office was in several differ­ent buildings in the village before being disccontinued. The last one wasin the present home of GEORGE BOYD.

Little Washingtonby Irene Eaton

During the summer of 1959, I was engaged in genealogical research in Richland County, Ohio. 'Fromcounty records, cemeteries, understanding citizens and from my many relatives, I was able to garner muchprecious information. From a cousin, the late Lester McFarland, I received something that I never thoughtcould exist, but it did. Through the efforts of Wallace ScWosser, an unusual village plat existed.

Wallace Schlosser had enlarged an official platting of Little Washington on a piece of brown wrappingpaper. He added a vast assemblage of facts, fascinating references, and now forgotten items concerning thecommunity life of the village. He drew in situ, the houses, churches, shops and schools, in a curious two­dimension style, even locating the wells, stables, trees, streams and cemeteries.

On one margin of this plat are these words; "Washington Village laid out by John Conwell, WeslyBarnes, and James Sirpliss, surveyed by John Stewart Nov. 18, 1837, put on by John Lin Nov. 22." Onelearns further that this village was laid out in 32 lots along both sides of a north-south road, which was bi­sected by an east-west roa~, in Washington Township. The lot numbers start from the south-east edgeand continue north to lot '# 16. Lot '# 17 is across the road and from there the numbering continuessouth to lot no. 32 at the south-west edge of the town. Mr. Schlosser has followed a pattern of giving a nameto many of the houses which may indicate ownership. Other names written on the same lot may be takento mean that they also lived or had business there.

Now that I have set the scene, let us stroll up and down this single street of Little Washington. With

Wallace Schlosser as our guide, let's see it as the early inhabitants saw it. Some of these names may befamiliar to you. "

We shall start at the south-east corner with lot 'If, 2, for lbt 'If, 1 is vacant. This story and a half houseis the home of John Smith; but others who have lived here are D. Scarfield, Obed Ray, D. M. Leppo, Geo.Main, Geo. Bott, and my two great-uncles A. B. Pulver and J. O. McFarland.

Next door on lot 'If,3 is the home of my great-great-grandparents, the Isaac Pulvers. This is a largestory and a half home with two chimneys, but could it house eleven children? Isaac's carpentership is handy;next door on lot 'If, 4. I have read that he was apprenticed as carpenter and joiner for three years in NewYork State.

Lot 'If, 5 is vacant. Mrs. Hoss lives in a small house on lot 'If, 6 that may have been shingled on thesides, Others who have lived here are Dave Mercer, J. B. Leppo, John Stone, John McGregor and C. Banks.Is this the father of David Banks who married my great-aunt Sarah Elizabeth Pulver? At one time JohnDennis kept the post office here. The Joe McGregor house is on lot 'If, 7, but Emily Schlosser and SophiaCover have lived here also.

And now we are in front of the largest house on the'street. It is designated as the Pulver store. Mygreat-uncle Charles had his barber shop here, and also sold garden tools, groceries, plow points and otheritems. Day's shop fronts on the side of this lot on the road. Wm. Shupe and L. Balliett have also lived here.At one time the fifth schoolhouse of this district was located back on this lot and across the alley.

We cross the road to lot 'If, 9 where Geo. Curtis kept a store, and where the post office was at one time.Others associated with this lot were Dr. McFarland, Andy Pollock, Wm. Shupe, Ann Hall, Leppo, Secrist,Bar, Dye and Sheriff. The blacksmith shop of D. Robinson was also located here.

A small shop run by D. M. Leppo, stands on lot 'If, 10. Ovid Dye also had a blacksmith shop here, andat one time the Robinson shop stood at the rear of this lot. Others who were connected with this lot wereE. Sheriff, Secrist, and Bar.

And now to busy lot 'If, 11. Here the home' of Elias Heyser stood. It is a large, two story house with anoutside stairway to the second floor where a post office was" located at one time.

PAGE 63

Mr. Heyser was a blacksmith and had his shop in front of his home. This shop accurdlllg" ill '<tl' guidewas the scene of "the Lickliter Belling trouble:" Sounds interesting! T. R. Heyser of 30 Greenwood, Mansfield,writes that his grandfather Elias took as his second wife, Arabella Lickliter. Or this belling trouble couldhave occurred when his daughter Mary Jane, married Washington Lickliter.

A cooper shop is located on one side of lot fI, 12 and the Stull house is on the other side. The names ofRichey and Lutz are written on this lot. Could this place have been the home of my great-grandfatherGeorge Lutz?

A large industrial structure stands on lot fI, 13. It has several additions and a very large, tall smokestack. Possibly this is a sawmill run by the Lutz brothers, using steam power.

Lot fI, 14 has a small building, lot fI, 15 is vacant and lot fI, 16 at the end of the street is the site ofthe Wesley Church.

N ow we cross the road and proceed south passing by lots fI, 17 and fI, 18, which are vacant. Mrs.McGregor's house on lot fI, 19 has two stories. In the rear of the lot is an area designated as "Heyser's Cave."

Heyser's house is next door on lot fl,20. It is a big dwelling of two stories, with two doors on the firstfloor and an outside stairway to the second floor. Evidently Perry Enlow, Geo. Gribling, Rinehart and Hoghave lived here.

On lot fl,21 stands a two-gabled home where Jake McPhern and L. Lutz have lived. The Mose Curtishome is next door on lot fl,22. It has a wide front porch. Tom McPhern, Stevie, and Philipo have also livedhere. And strung from the chimney of this house is a rope which is attached to the chimney of the Heyserhouse across the street! But more of this later.

Lot fl,23 has two buildings and George McGregor and Welsleger have lived here.Lot fI, 24 is a corner lot and has much history connected with it. The first store was built on it with

Mark Finikum as proprietor. After him the management was taken over by the Rev. James F. McGraw,who also gained a literary reputation. It is also the location of the first schoolhouse where David Coulter wasthe first teacher. Later, a church with crescent-topped door and windows was built. Other names connectedwith this lot are Jim McGarvey and Sally and Izora McGregor. Izora married my great-uncle Jacob Lutzand they had one son George. After a divorce, all trace of mother and son were lost. Jacob remarried and hadan only daughter. She wishes very much to learn of the whereabouts of any of her kin. A Mr. Lawr~nce ranthe post office on this lot and Mr. Metcalf is also associated with it.

Now let us cross the road to lot fl,25, the site of a log church, and also a small shop which at one timehoused a post office managed by a member of the Ray family. Others associated with this lot are Obed andRuben Ray, and D. B. Day, J. McBride, Alonzo Schlosser and Dr. Paul. Back of the alley is the area knownas the old cemetery.

Lot fl,26 has only a stable but lot fl,27 shows a large story and a half home which served the com­munity as a parsonage. The Revs. Langly, O. J. Moon and Sewell probably lived in this house; as well asC. S. Shupe, OJ Beverage, J. J. Charles, John McPhern, Alonzo Schlosser, C. Fleming, Dr. Early and Mr. Lint.

Next door on lot fl,28, is a small home where the Miller Pattersons lived; as well as Charles Bridget,Milt Pollock, Sarah Charles, SiIllmons and Pat McG--------. The Christofel wagon shop functioned onlot fI, 29. .

Lot fI, 30 contains a home with porch where the Scrafield and Bruny families.lived. Only wild cherrytrees grow on lot fI, 31, but another rope is attached to one of them and it extends across the road to thechimney of the Smith house. The explanation of these two ropes was given to me by Mrs. Jessie Bair ofBlanche Street, Mansfield. Her uncle, John Melvin Foglesong, who lived in the village, strung them up topractice tight and slack ropewalking. After gaining proficiency, he performed at fairs and gatherings underthe name of Professor St. John. He was married to Mrs. Bair's aunt, Rachel Moffet. Her uncle went on toentertain the public in many novel ways, but space does not permit a full account of his versatile activities.

Lot fl,32 has a small church built on it and the letters M. E. appear on the work of our guide. We cansafely assume that it was Methodist.

This village was once a thriving and self-contained community, and according to the Civil War lettersowned by Mrs. Wm. Robison of Bellville, it sent many volunteers to the service.

Graham's History of Washington Township (1880) states that there is no town of any consequence inthe area, but many descendents of these people are still living in and around Richland County. Because thework of Wallace Schlosser illuminated my th:\.nking about the area where my forebears once lived, I felt thatit would interest many Ohioans who also have ties of sentiment and relationship. By maintaining a friendlyand familiar relationship with the past, the last century is only a loving handclasp away.

AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF HOWARD STONE

May 7, 1974

Chapter I

This is Howard Stone. I am writing short memoirs of my life from my residencenow at Winchester Nursing Home in Mansfield, Ohio.

My father is Charles W. Stone; mother, Saretta Ann McFarland. My grandfather,Charles Stone, had seven children: Elizabeth (Hicks); Sarah (McFarland); John;Eliza (McCullough); Catherine (Ford); Charles Wesley Stone, my father; andWilliam Stone who died in 1886 at age 52.

My other grandfather, Samuel McFarland, had a family of nine children. Writtenin order of births: Saretta Ann (Stone); John McFarland; William McFarland;Hattie (Taylor); Kathryn (McPhern); Osmer McFarland; Ellen (not married); Lillian(Pollock); and Frank McFarland. Most of the children of both families spent mostof their lives in Richland County in different pursuits. The exceptions were JohnMcFarland, who spent most of his life in different states chasing gold mines, and.Elizabeth Hicks, who was a farmer withherhusband in Knox County. John Stone wasa carpenter. Katherine Ford's husband was a grocer; William McFarland, a schoolteacher; and Lillian Pollock's husband, a laborer. All the rest were farmers.

My father, Charles Wesley Stone, married my motner, Saretta Ann McFarland, in 1871,mother being 17-years of age and father 27. They lived on a farm near the villageof Washington, Barnes Post Office. I recollect the post office has been in severalfamilies before it was followed by Rural Delivery.

The earliest recollection of the home is when ~ohn Stone, who had built a newhouse for my father, packed up his tools to leave, and I said I was glad and didnot want him to come back. I have been told I was two-years~old at the time. Icannot recall any other thing that occurred, except the death of Joseph Ellsworthin 1895 and Ethel May in 1898. The thing that sticks to me now regarding Joseph'sdeath was the coming of Anna Taylor to visit mother and, together, they had quitea time crying. I didn't think so much of it then until afterwards when I learnedthey were engaged, although I did not realize what that meant until several yeR~s

later.

PAGE 65THE PASTFINDER

I had become much interested in school and learned of the Boxwell examination.This was a law which required the local school board to pay the tuition in a highschool. The Boxwell Law gave the school board some right in choosing the school.Later the. Patterson Law gave the entire choice of high school to the pupil. So,as soon as able, I took the examination and passed. I decided on the Lucas School.Note: Catherine/Katherine Ford spelled two ways 1n original manuscript.

(Continued next page)

VOLll1E 8, NlMBER 2

Howard Stone's Autobiography continued from previous page:

I could walk there and thus much expense would be saved for my father wasindebted on the farm and prices were low for produce to sell. Then, too,the Lucas School allowed Patterson Examination pupils to start in the tenthgrade and thus save a year. I was graduated in 1906 and began thinking ofteaching school. The superintendent at Lucas, Walter Kramer, was on theTeachers' Examination Board. He advised me to take the examination and tellmy exact age; and he thought that if I passed, they would give me a certifi-

cate but have it dated after I was eighteen. I did this but the othermembers said, "No." In the meantime, I applied for a school and was accepted.They asked me to present my certificate and sign the contract. I was toldthey could not wait and must hire another teacher as one was available.

I found another school in Monroe Township for which they had no teacher.They set a date for me to present my teacher's certificate and sign thecontract. In the meantime, I became eighteen and took the examination. Itso happened that two days before the date set, I received my certificate andeverything was okay. I signed the contract and began teaching on the firstMonday of October, 1906, after I was eighteen on the 19th of September.

This school was called Excelsior and was northwest of Lucas near the Penn­sylvania Railroad.

TEACHING SCHOOL

In teaching, I tried hard to have the respect of my scholars. This was some­times hard to do for I played in many of their games. Especially was thistrue during my first year for I had boys only three years younger than myself;and to play and still hold their confidence, I had to show that I could oftenbeat them at most of their skills and still not make them feel that I wassuperior.

One instance that comes to mind: the school was over four miles acrosscountry. I walked most of the time but got permission to build a little shedback of the woodhouse where I could keep a horse. Then I rode horseback ordrove in a cart. The boys got to getting up on the roof of the shed then onthe woodhouse roof.

I talked to them, telling them this was scaring my horse and also ruining theshingles on the woodhouse and asked them not to do it. This lasted for some­time; then they broke over and were allover the roof. As soon as I noticedit, I rang the bell and took up school. I said nothing about it but cameprepared the next morning with a strap coiled up in my hip pocket.

I called up the oldest boy and asked ~hy they had disobeyed. He, of course,had no reason for disobeying and then I told him that they must take thepunishment and I proceeded to give each boy three strokes with the strap.There were seven boys and two girls in school. The girls were not in troublebut each of the seven boys received punishment. I heard afterwards they wereall pretty well striped, but I had very little trouble for the rest of theyear.

MEMORIES

By Depthana Bemiller Curming

My Mama was a very beautiful woman, and I'm sure my Papa always thought of herthat way. She was tall and slender and had big brown eyes and dark brown hair.She was as kind and gentle as she was beautiful.

There were four children in our family; I am the youngest. My brother, who wasnext to me in age, said he was the first one to hold me. He said I had a littleround face and brown hair and that I was so cute. Of course, I am sure myparents let him hold me so that he would not feel left out of their attentionbecause of me.

When I was three yers old, Mama went to help care for my uncle, her only brother,who was ill. It was finally believed he had tuberculosis. At that time, therewas very little doctors knew about that illness and its cure; so the familylost my uncle. Soon after that, Mama became ill, too, and the doctors said shehad T.B.

Because people believed fresh air and sunshine were the maina screened-in porch on the side of our house. He also cut aof the wall just big enough for Mama's bed. He then built aof her bed so she could pull herself outside or back inside.that with fresh air, sunshine and rest, Mama would get well.

I remember seeing Mama read her Bible andwas in bed. Sometimes she was able to doto play the organ and sing in our church.

hearing her sing hymns even though shea little sewing and.mending. She used

She had a beautiful voice.

LAST CHRISTMAS

I shall always remember the Christmas before Mama died. Papa had a friend -- abig, jolly man, just the type for Santa Claus -- who played Santa Claus thatyear. The Christmas before, I had received a teddy bear. This Christmas, Ireceived a beautiful doll dressed in a dress Mama had made special for her. Thatdoll was, of course, my "Oh, You Beautiful boll." Papa had made a cradle for her.I remember rocking and singing to her. One of the songs I used to sing (maybesome of you remember the words) goes like this: "Rock a bye baby in the treetop.When the wind blows, the cradle will rock. When the bough breaks, the cradlewill fall. Down will come baby, cradle and all." I treasured my doll and teddybear; and everywhere I went, they were there, too ..That was the last Christmas Mama was with us; almost two months later she died.Papa had Mama brought back home in her casket, which opened full length. Shehad on a lovely, long pink dress and had dainty slippers on her feet. 'She lookedso beautiful~ almost as if she were asleep. I remember Papa holding me in hisarms, looking down at her, with tears streaming down his face. I hugged him andsaid, "Don't cry, Papa, Mama went to Heaven to be with Jesus."

(Continued next page)

mAGE 68 JULY-AIrusr 1989

MEMORIES CONTINUED

For the funeral, Mama was taken back to the church, which was overflowing withfriends and relatives; she was loved by everyone. Afterward, she was put intoa black buggy hearse pulled by two horses. It was a long way to the cemetery,and it snowed that day.

After her death, I was back and forth, sometimes at home with my family and atother times with one set of grandparents or the other. My grandparents lived"in the country." My Mama's Papa was a kind, gentle man, who would take me withhim to gather mushrooms or to dig ginseng. He would tease me because I wouldalways gather flowers, violets, daisies and whatever else was available. Grandmaand Grandpa lived out by Lions Falls; we lived in Butler, Richland County. Some­times Grandpa would let me drive the horse and buggy; but, of course, the horseknew where she was going once she was started home. In the fall, when chestnutswere ripe, we would stop and gather some on the way home.

I remember, too, how we drew water from the old well. There was a bucket at­tached to a rope and the rope was fastened to a handle, which we cranked to bringup the water. It was cool fresh water, which we drank from atin cup when wewere at the well. I shall never forget standing by the well and looking at thesunset in the evening. What a beautiful sight! The sun glowing, almost as ifsaying, "Goodnight, Little Girl."

My bedroom at Grandma's and Grandpa's was upstairs. The house had a tin roof,and I loved to hear the patter of raindrops on the roof. I would say my prayer,and the raindrops would put me to sleep with their gentle patter. Their housewas heated with a big wood-burning stove with a reservoir to heat their water.Grandma cooked and baked on this stove. I can almost small the bread she usedto bake. Grandpa chopped wood not far from the house for the stove. I alwayshad fun playing with the chips, building houses, mountains and other imaginativestructures.

CURLY-HAIRED POODLE

At my other Grandparents' home there was a poodle they called "Curly" becauseher hair was soft, white, fluffy and curly. Curly and I became great pals, andeverywhere I went, she went. I helped my Grandma in the garden and helped herwith the dishes. She would tie an apron on me, lift me up on a chair by thetable, where she would set the dishpan for me. She gave me a little gold ringfor helping her, which I still have. Sometimes Curly and I would sit on the haywagon with Grandpa.

In the evening, when the "chores" were done, we all would sit on the front porchand talk, sing, laugh and listen to the frogs croak from the pond which was nottoo far away. We also watched the sunset in its brilliant light. What greaterbeauty could we find? It was fun being with my Grandparents. I loved them andthey loved me. But, of course, we all missed Mama.

YEARS PASSED

Many years passed and I kept my doll and teddy bear.

Time went on. I grew up, Married John J. Cunning August 30, 1928, and had three

children, Robert A., Dorothy and Charles. They did not care for my doll andteddy bear. So during World War II, when there was a request for Toys for Tots,I gave my doll and teddy bear away with the hope they would make some otherchildren happy.

It is strange -- I missed them. Perhaps it's because they reminded me of myparents and my childhood.

Many years ago, I found a doll similar to my old doll; today she has a specialchair in our bedroom. Then last year I told my husband how much I missed myteddy bear. Guess what? He gave me a teddy bear for Christmas. Several dearfriends, after hearing my story, have given me teddies, too.

MEMORIES such as these have enriched my life.

Mrs. Cunning presented this paper to a local club when the topic was "Oh, YouBeautiful Doll." We felt our readers would enjoy hearing about the little girlwho lost her mother and cherished a doll and teddy bear throughout her life.

Mrs. Cunning, one of the members of this society, is the daughter of Daniel J.and Goldie Stull Bemiller. Her Mama died at age 30 in February of 1916. Herfather, an employee of Westinghouse Electric Corporation, Mansfield, died in 1946.Her beloved grandparents were William and Carolyn Stoner Stull of Lions Falls,Richland County, Ohio, and Jacob and Emily Hoover Bemiller, who lived at Bell­ville and Butler, also in Richland County.

EDUCATION IN RICHLAND COUNTY, OHIO -- 1800'S

BY ELINORE CUNNING

Editor's note: This information is fran research data collected and canpiled by Elinore Ctnmingand Lois ~lough with the intention of recording, in book fonn, all that is l<nam about theseone-roan buildings at this tinE. Much information is still missing and being researched.

What is now Richland County was part of the Northwest Territory in the 1700's.There were provisions for education in this area even before there was a Stateof Ohio, let alone a county named Richland. Education was so important to someof the settlers that a school was built sometimes before a church. As coloni-zation progressed, governing rules had to be devised. As a result, the North­west Ordinance of 1787 came into being, providing, among other things, foreducation.

In 1803, the area now known as Ohio reached the 60,000 population figure neces­sary to become a state so Ohio was born. Mansfield was incorporated in 1808,and schools were started by subscription in any room available around CentralPark for three months in winter. Youngsters were needed for farming the othermonths of the year.

A log school was constructed 1n Lexington in 1812. Richland County was laid outin 1813 in a 30-mile square with townships one mile square. Of the 36 sectionsin a township, one section, No. 16, was to be set aside for educational purposes,according to the Northwest Ordinance of 1787. There was no need to rent a sectionsuch as this because land could be bought anywhere for $1 an acre. Another wayhad to be found to finance education.

There were reports of an early school in Plymouth Township; it is thought itmight have been Opdyke No. 1 in 1818. Classes were held in the William Guthriehome in Bloominggrove Township as early as 1824, as well as in Ganges.

From this time until 1860, many one-room buildings were constructed at least twomiles apart to limit to one mile the distant students had to walk. No dateshave been found preceeding 18bO on any building information collected. In 1831,Lexington replaced its 1812 log building. Woodville School No.6, Madison Town­shi~was an 1837 log structure. Prior to 1846, classes in Mansfield were heldin the Blockhouse, log houses and any other room available and suitable.

About this time, nearby counties were being formed that needed a little moreterritory so Richland County was called upon to give up some ground on the eastfor Ashland County and on the west for Crawford and Morrow Counties. This tookplace in 1846 and reduced some townships considerably, leaving seven townshipswithout section No. 16. Instead of 30 townships, Richland County was left with 18.

That same year, 1846, Mansfield had three school districts: Big Spring on theeast, New Brick at Diamond and First Streets on the south and Red School atNorth Mulberry and west Fourth streets on the west.

About 1850, certification for teachers was signed by a local board of educationand there were teachers' exams. Many more one-room buildings came into ex­istence in 1860-80. There is some information on approximately 140 such schoolsin Richland County.

EDUCATION IN RICHLAND COUNTY, OHIO .• . . CONTINUED:

In Mansfield, high school classes were held in the third Richland County Court­house (the one with the dome) with 11 weeks of school at $2.50 a quarter (halfin advance, please). This was begun in 1851 and called Richland County HighSchool. A female academy was built on what is now West Third Street facingMarket Street (now Park Avenue West) on two acres bounded on the west by BowmanStreet. It was operated until shortly after the Civil War. Lexington's Academywas founded in 1860 by Richard Gailey and was operated until 1880. He hadstarted operations in Monroe Township earlier.

In 1868, Washington Township built Center Hall No.6 as one of the one-roomschools on German Church Road, and Sandusky Township built Riblett No.2 onU. S. 30 North.

Mansfield began a four-building series with Bloom Street (West Fifth Street)in 1868 and Big Spring near the historic spring between East Third and EastFourth Streets. In 1868, Worthington Township built the Darling SettlementSchool No. 1 on Forbes Road. Madison Township started the Lincoln Heightsschools in 1869 with Wallace No.8 on Grace Street at Stewart Road, which neededan addition in 1886 at the time the name was changed to Pleasant Hill.

A high school was built in Shiloh in 1870, the same year the West First Streetbuilding in Mansfield was constructed to become the high school from 1870-92,when the building was ready for use at West Fourth and Bowman Streets. HedgesSchool was the fourth of the series built in 1871. Jackson Township builtBricker No.4 in 1874 on Taylortown Road, west of Bowman Street; Madison Town­ship built Yankeetown No. 1 in 1875 on Stewart Road at Piper Road; and WashingtonTownship built Bridgeport No. 7 on South Main Street Road at Straub Road in1875.

Attendance in school became mandatory in 1877 but could not be enforced until1899 when attendance officers were sanctioned. Mansfield's New Brick (1846),at Diamond and Flint Streets, became the Normal School in 1878 and continueduntil 1922, when it was transferred to the West First Street building.

East Mansfield began classes in a home on Bahl Avenue across from the presentJesse Beer building in 1889. The 1892 building on West Fourth Street at BowmanStreet was Mansfield's high school until 1927 when the new building was completedin the west end. In 1894, Madison Township'had 10 districts in operation aroundMansfield; Ontario had 10 districts by 1900. The year 1894 brought pay raisesof $1.25 a day or $25 a month for teachers. This was also the year the Teachers'Reading Circles were instituted.

Five area schools built in the late 1800's are still in use: Edison (1882) inMorrow County; Leesville (1887) in Crawford County; Ashland (1889) in AshlandCounty; and two in Richland County, Bellviile and Lexington, both built in 1894.

A move to consolidate Richland County's school began in 1900 and took 50 yearsto complete. Sharon Township's three schools, Morton No. I, Gamble No.4 andWill No.5, were the last one-room buildings to be closed in 1950. The students,of course, were transferred to the Shelby system.

Dates of at least eight one-room buildings show they were constructed from1900-29.

1919

Mansfield Senior High School yearbook, La Victoire, of 1919 was dedicated asfollows:

In Memoriam

It is a fitting thing that one department of La Vic to ire should be devoted toour men in the service. Especially, do we dedicate this department to the heroesof the two golden stars in our service flag.

THERON W. WARD came to us in 1917 as a teacher of mathematics. For two yearshe was not only a capable and efficient teacher, but was also the friend of allstudents. He took an active interest in every school enterprise, and no under­taking was too big for Mr. Ward to successfully carry through. He left for CampSherman in May 1918, where, on the merits of his mathematical ability, he wasappointed as company clerk. It was in August that we learned with deep regretof his untimely death. His loss is greatly felt by the students of the MansfieldHigh School, who sincerely appreciate his conscientious work among us.

********************SERGEANT MORRIS DeWITT was a member of the graduating class of 1914. Aftergraduation, he went into the grocery business with his father, where "he madegood." Then came the call, "Your country needs you," and Morris devoted himselfto the service of his country. He served in France, until the report of hisdeath came to his parents just after the signing of the armistice. The reportwas confirmed in a letter from his captain, who paid high tribute to Morris,speaking of him as "a fine, clean youth, of whom anyone might well feel proud."

A VOLUNTEER'S MOTTOFrom BUCKEYE CALIFORNIAN, September 1989 issue:

I am only one, but I am someone ... I cannot do it all, but I can dosomething.

******************************

Also from Buckeye Californian's September 1989 issue:

DID YOU KNOW? Junior is one of the most misleading of all terms encounteredin research. Used strictly today for a son bearing his father's name, junior200 years ago meant a younger man in the same town having the same name asanother; he could be in some way related to the senior, but many times therewas no relationship at all. In Wallingford, CT, there were five men, all namedJohn Hall, all living at the same time. From oldest to youngest, they werecalled Sr., Jr., 3rd, 4th and 5th without regard to relationship. If Jr. died,3rd became Jr., 4th became 3rd and so on. In some deeds, a man referred tohimself as "Jr., formerly 3rd." Confusing?

Portraits

ROSES ON A COLD DECEMBER DAY

By Ross R. McKinney

My grandmother, Wilma Brandenberry, married Wallace Simon in 1893. My mother,Edna Simo~ ~s born to them in 1894. Around 1897, my grandmother got a divorceand later married James Waters. My mother passed away in 1940, and I never knewuntil after her death that James Waters was not my real grandfather.

Then I found out that my real grandfather was Wallace Simon, who had died sixweeks before my mother. I asked my Aunt Ona Woodworth what she knew about myreal grandfather. She said she knew nothing and that I should not say a word tomy grandmother as she would not talk about it.

Years passed and grandma was in failing health. I asked my Aunt Oma Reed whatshe knew about the past. She also told me not to say anything to grandma or shewould disown me. Grandma Wilma Brandenberry Simon Waters passed away in 1958with all the secrets locked up in her heart.

More years passed and one Saturday in November, 1980, my wife, Vivian, and I tookmy Aunt Minta Newmyer to Bowling Green to spend a day at the courthouse. Whil~

we were looking for Brande~erry names, I kept looking for Wallace Simon but foundnothing. I asked the lady at the desk about it and she suggested I go to theHealth Department. I went to the Health Department and in a few minutes, personnelthere found his· death certificate. It told me that Wallace Simon was buried inthe Van Buren Cemetery.

Around Christmas, on a cold December day, my.wife and I tramped over a littleWood County cemetery in Van Buren, Ohio, south of Bowling Green. Finally we foundhis tombstone. There were two reasonably new bouquets of flowers on his grave ona cold December day! I said, "There must be some descendant for these flowers tobe here forty-four years after his death."

Vivian and I returned to that cemetery the n~xt Memorial day and found new bouquetsof flowers. I located the caretaker of the cemetery who gave me a little more in­formation. He asked me if I had ever looked in another cemetery he named. I toldhim I hadn't. We went to the other cemetery and were looking over it and metanother couple, who were placing flowers at a grave. The man and I began to visit.He asked me if I had relatives buried there. I sort of laughed and said that waswhat I was trying to find out. I told him I was looking for information about aWallace Sir.lOn.

Roses on a Cold December Day . . Continued

"Why, I used to play cards with him when I was a kid," he said. At last! I hadfound someone who could help me. He told me where a lady lived that could giveme some information. We left the cemetery and went to North Baltimore to seethis lady. She told me that Wallace Simon married Emma Kissell, who had onedaughter, Correan Kissell. Wallace and Emma had a daughter, Bernice, who wouldbe my half-aunt. The trail was now getting warmer and more interesting.

A few weeks later, we went to Findlay, Ohio, to visit the newspaper office. Wewere able to find the funeral notices of Wallace Simon and his wife there. Andwe were able to find who his survivors are. Then to the telephone directory foraddresses.

I drove up in front of a nlce brick house. About to meet a new relative, I didn'tknow if she knew of me or not and I didn't know what this meeting would lead to.I rang the doorbell and a lady came to the door, a lady that I didn't think wasthe one I was looking for. I asked if Mrs. Bernice Clouse was there.

"Yes, who are you?" she asked. I gave her my name. She closed the storm door andcarefully latched it and also locked it, then started back through the house. Inthe background I could hear a police scanner. I stood there on the patio and waitedand waited but she did not return. So I decided to use a different approach tofind my half - aunt. I started for the car but turned for one more look at thedoor then saw another lady coming to the door.

When she opened the door, I asked if she was Mrs. Bernice Clouse. She replied,"Yes, and I know who you are. You're Edna Simon's son." She asked, "Is that yourwife in the car?"

When I said, "Yes," she said, "Bring her and come in." The first woman who hadopened the door is her daughter, Madeline DeLancy. Mrs. Clouse asked why I hadlooked her up. I said I had read in the Wood County History Book of so many Simonnames and thought maybe she could help me with some family history.

She said she had seen my mother at a funeral when she was a small girl. She askedhow I ever found her, so I told her of our experiences in finding her. As I talked,I saw mother and daughter look at one another. I didn't know if I said somethingright or wrong. When I finished, she smiled and said, "Family history is one ofMadeline's hobbies. She has it back to '1735."

Aunt Bernice said, "We have talked about you and your Brother Ralph many times,wondering where you were and what you are doing." She knew of us because somecousins sent flowers to my mother's funeral and our names were on the thank-youcard. She told us this was a Red Letter Day in her life; she had never expectedone of us to ring her doorbell.

Two reasonably new bouquets of roses on a cold December day led us to 250 yearsof family history plus new friendships. We visit back and forth frequently betweenher home in Findlay and ours in Shelby. She summed up her feelings by saying, "Whycouldn't this have happened 60 years ago?"
