January Board Meeting

Trisha Speiser presented her ideas to theboard about preparing for the future of the historicgroups of Defiance County. She proposed a mu-tual agreement where the groups would cooperateto obtain a place to store historic items with climatecontrol, to research and to meet, and to have of-fices. She will work on wording of a vision state-ment to present to the various groups.

Pat Wise moved to accept $50 as thenewly increased price for Jim Rebar who providesour web site. Dawn Hasch seconded the motionwhich passed. Discussion was held on the $1000previously set aside for a second microfilm readerfor the Defiance Public Library because it isunlikely it would be needed as there is no spacein the Ohioana Room. Rhonda Casler movedthat the money should be put into a fund title“Tentative Projects. Joanne Allison seconded themotion which carried. This will be brought up asa recommendation to the chapter. A request fromBGSU to support their Ohio History Day wasdecline by the board.

January Chapter Meeting

The Defiance County Genealogical Society

met on Jan. 22, where members joined in an infor-mal round table discussion and sharing time. Eachmember was asked to answer two questions: whythey first started their search for ancestors, and whatdid their research reveal that surprised them.

Some mentioned that a child’s school assign-ment or a genealogy project in 4-H motivated themto research their family tree. Some inherited note-books and family Bibles full of records that piquedtheir curiosity. However, most said their interest infamily history started when older grandparents orrelatives told stories from their past. For example,

The following article was written by JoanneAllison and appeared in The Crescent-News.

Members of the Defiance County Genealogi-cal Society who shared their genealogicalinformation at the January chapter meetingare (seated from left): Pat Wise, Diane Hilland Gladys Donson. Standing are LavinaBoesling, Ruth Block, Richard Rozevink,Carolyn Peters, Dianne Kline, Mary Will-iams, Dave Bennett, and Joanne Allison.

Gladys, at a young age of three, heard tales fromher great-grandmother about wolves howling andcoming around the family cabin in the swamp.

Many interesting stories were shared. Onemember’s relative claimed their family had come toAmerica on the Mayflower, and this member wantedto prove if it was really true. It turned out that, al-though the ancestor was a passenger on the May-flower, he was not a pilgrim escaping religious per-secution, but instead was an indentured servant anda scoundrel at that.

Other surprise discoveries by members in-cluded a New Salem witch in the family tree, an-other found a black-skinned Civil War soldier onone side of the family, and an ancestor who be-longed to the Ku Klux Klan on another branch ofthe same family.

Still another person told of a RevolutionaryWar ancestor who was a Loyalist, remaining loyalto the Crown. One day while sitting on his frontporch, he was shot at by Patriots, and the bulletholes can still be seen today in the front of the house.That ancestor later came across Pennsylvania toOhio by covered wagon.

February Board Meeting

Dawn Hasch and Ruth Block had met previ-ous to the board meeting and found the financialrecords from 2017 to be in perfect order. Mary Wil-liams reported that a thank-you from Pastor JimBrehler for the donation of $500 to the church forthe chapter’s use of the building. Dianne Klinemoved to pay $10.00 memberships to both theJohnson Memorial Library and the SherwoodBranch Library for 2018. Rhonda Casler secondedthe motion; motion carried.

February Chapter Meeting

The death of longtime chapter membersConnie Duerk was announced. Dianne Kline, asmembership chair, noted that there currently are51 members. She also noted that the blog site isstill often being accessed, and she asked for ideasfor the blog be suggested to her. Dianne, too, high-lighted next month's chapter meeting. The speakerwill be Taylor Moyer, an accomplished historian andre-enactor, who will be speaking on the topic of theWoodlands Indians of this area.

Dianne also reported for the Cecelia Brownmemorial committee. A leather wing-back chair hasbeen ordered for placement in the Ohioana Room.Also on order is an ornamental genealogical tree tobe placed on the wall to the entrance of the OhioanaRoom. Director Hite, who will soon be retiring asdirector of the library, had some other suggestionsfor the committee to consider for the remainingfunds.

Other meeting for the first half of the yearwere highlighted. In April Nancy Ottman from Pa-latines to America will be speaking on "Palatines toAmerica: Finding Your German Roots." Local ge-nealogy groups have been invited to this program.

Our guest speaker for the evening wasDianne Grimm, a collector of both vintage items andof historical stories of the area. She highlightedmany items collected from the Hicksville area andtold related stories. On display were some of theitems relating to Henry Hicks for which the town ofHicksville was named. She showed an original landgrant for Henry Hicks and Isaac Smith dated 1837

and also a letter written to Ephraim Gorrell at NewRochester, Paulding County, dated 1838 beginning:"I have not heard from Hicksville since I last wasthere…" This proved that Hicks had actually beenin Hicksville and that he did not just purchase thelands without being present. (Hicks was a landspeculator who bought many land parcels in Ohio.)Another letter was dated November 12, 1838, writ-ten from A. P. Edgerton (for whom the town ofEdgerton was named) to Henry Hicks.

Dianne also has many photos and otheritems relating to Amelia Bingham, who was a turnof the century stage actress. Her Broadway careerlasted from 1896 until 1926. She also was an en-trepreneur starting her own Amelia Bingham StockCompany.

Also shown were photos of Hart's Boys andHart's Girls Bands. Hart's Girls Band was begunafter WWI while the men were serving in the war.The girl's band remained active until the 1930s andbecame nationally known.

Some of the other items representative ofher collection were the following. Dianne showedmilk bottles from dairies from Hicksville and evenfrom Mark Center. She also noted that at one timethere were five cigar companies in Hicksville. Shedisplayed a muzzle loader signed by John Nogglewho lived in Brunersburg from the 1850s-1870s. Abrochure from the first Hicksville Fair of 1878 wason display. She also brought part of her post cardcollection depicting Sherwood and Hicksville.Dianne's related stories and knowledge of the his-tory behind the items was well appreciated by thegroup.

Dianne Grimmdisplays a col-lage of photos ofAmelia Bingham,a turn of thecentury starlet,from Hicksvilleand a photo ofHenry Hicks forwhom the villageof Hicksville wasnamed.

Rivers of Defiance

The city of Defiance and its surrounding ar-eas have always had a rich historical and ecologi-cal significance as it is the confluence of three ma-jor rivers making up the Maumee River watershedand historically much of the Black Swamp of north-western Ohio. The historic Maumee River is formedin Ft. Wayne by the St. Joseph and St. Marys Riv-ers, flowing in a northeasterly direction through De-fiance where it is joined by the Tiffin and AuglaizeRivers before arriving in Toledo where it emptiesinto Maumee Bay and Lake Erie.

The historic Dey Road Bridge

Bean Creek or the Tiffin River

It was surprising to many to learn that theTiffin River was also known as Bean Creek in earlyDefiance County history. Today if one travels northinto Michigan you may cross Bean Creek severaltimes as it is still known as Bean Creek in Michi-gan.

From Wikipedia“The Tiffin River is a 54.9-mile-long tribu-

tary of the Maumee River in northwestern Ohio.Headwater tributaries of the river rise in southeast-ern Michigan. The river drains a primarily rural farm-

ing regions in the watershed of Lake Erie. EarlyFrench traders called the river Crique Féve, trans-lated as Bean Creek, due to the natural growth ofbean plants along the shores.

“The stream was renamed officially as theTiffin River in 1822 after Edward Tiffin, the first gov-ernor of the state of Ohio.

“Bean Creek, the name of the upper half ofthe Tiffin River, flows from Devils Lake in the IrishHills region of southeastern Michigan.” It generallyflows south going through Fulton and WilliamsCounties in Ohio before entering Defiance Countyand joining the Maumee River from the north 2miles west of Defiance.

Dey Road Bridge

The Dey Road Bridge is a historic trussbridge that spans the Tiffin River near the city ofDefiance. Built in the 1900s, it is no longer in useand has been designated a historic site.

In 1835, an early toll bridge across the Tiffinhad been built at the nearby community ofBrunersburg,; however, it was destroyed by a turnof the century flood. The Dey bridge is a Prattthrough truss bridge that was manufactured by theMassillon Bridge Company, built in 1906. It rests

Yesteryears’ Trails - Defiance Co. Spring 2018- Page 7

on concrete supports and is constructed primarilyof iron. According to Wikipedia, “In 1907, it becamea local landmark for surveying purposes when aUSGS surveyor placed a benchmark on its north-western abutment.”

In 1999, the bridge was listed on the Na-tional Register of Historic Places, qualifying becauseof its historically significant engineering. By that time,the bridge was no longer is use. Now known as the"Old Dey Bridge," the bridge is closed to road traf-fic, although pedestrians are still permitted to useit.

Bridges of the Confluence

If one is fascinated by the design andspecifications of bridges, the web site for youwould be bridgehunter.com . Most of the followinginformation -- and more-- can be found on thatsite.

The Oldest of the Clinton Street Bridges

Clinton Street Bridges

The oldest of the Clinton Street bridges isdescribed as a Whipple through truss later re-place by the “new” Clinton Street Bridge. Thereplacement bridge was built in 1932 by thePurdey Construction Company. It is a steelstringer with a length of 434 feet and a deck widthof 47 feet. It was rehabilitated in 1980 and is dueto be replace in 2019. The inspection of 2016noted the superstructure condition was poor, thesubstructure rating of satisfactory and the deckcondition as poor.

Hopkins Street Bridges

The original Hopkins Street Bridge, a“through truss,” was built over the Auglaize River.It was destroyed by the flood of 1913. It is de-scribed as a “Parker through truss” and was builtin 1914 by C. H. Bock (erector) and W. I. Rath(contractor)

Second Street Bridge

This Bronson photograph show the Sec-ond Street Bridge during the flood of 1913. In lateMarch 1913, an unusually heavy rainstorm movedinto Ohio. It rained steadily for five days, and thestreams all over Ohio rose rapidly. By the thirdday of the downpour, levees were overtopped andmany towns suffered disastrous flooding. Greatfires that raged unchecked added to the destruc-tion and the loss of life. When the flood watersreceded, tons of mud and debris covered thestreets, homes, businesses and factories. Thedeath toll stood at 361. Property damages werewell over $100,000,000 and 65,000 were forcedto temporarily flee from their homes.

The first bridge over this portion of theAuglaize River was called the Fort WinchesterBridge as it was adjacent to the old WinchesterFort grounds. It was described as a “Lost Prattthrough truss bridge.” It was replaced in 1937 bya “lost steel stringer” built by W. P. TownsendConstruction Company. It was replaced in 1991.

Before there were Bridges, there wereFerry Operators

The earliest settlers to the Defiance area had to rely on ferries to cross the Auglaize and theMaumee Rivers. Apparently, the county found a way to collect revenue by charging fees to operateferry services. The following listing notes ferry operators from 1845 through 1860.

Name Date Fee and descriptionHenry C. Bouton no date $3 Across the Auglaize:Findlay and Defiance cross

The following is an excerpt of the license of John Bowman dated April 30, 1847 which was signed atcourt house in Defiance. The license permitted him to keep a ferry across the Maumee River atKeplar’s Crossing for $3.00 for one year. The license stipulated the fares that could be charged.
