MERCER 1908 PRESS OF FRED J. HEER COLVMBUI, OBIO I;; o a o Copriight 1908 •T JAMES K. MERCER. DEDICATORY. O a man of. most remarkable qualities of mind and heart, whose great success in r life has been based upon sound morals and high principles, and a Chief Executive of Ohio who gave to the Commonwealth a safe, sane and honorable administration of its affairs, to Hon. Myron T. Herrick this volume is most respect­ fully dedicated. J. K. M. INTRODUCTORY. HIS volume is the third of a series which are intended to T secure to the libraries of Ohio the official history of each State administration, and to' show to posterity the char­ acter and achievements of public men of the period which each volume represents. The publishibr hopes that each succeeding volume will prove of increasing value as a work of reference. The Buckeye State has produced a very large share of the great men of the nation, some of them from most humble be­ ginnings and who knows what may be the ultimate success of many whose lives, up to date, are recorded herein. The writer wishes to acknowledge his great obligation to Mr. H. M. Laundon of Cleveland, also to Messrs. E. K. Rife and Hal D. Landon of Colmnbus for valuable assistance rendered in the preparation of manuscript. The portraits, included were produced by the Bucher Engrav­ ing G>mpany, mostly from photographs by the Baker Art Gallery of Columbus. Besides containing the life and administration of Governor Myron T. Herrick, as well as the biographies of many other distinguished Ohioans, the reader will find within these pages the first published authentic life of the great United States Senator, Marcus Alonzo Hanna.

CHAPTERL HE history pi Ohio, from the first English settlement, is a story of the lives of sturdy pioneers, brave generals, wise T statesmen and efficient men of business. The early front­ ier settlers came from the best stock that the country produced. They were men of great courage and high ideals. More than a century has passed since Ohio became a state, but the lapse of time, the infusion oif new interest, and the transformation from a frontier community to a closely populated state of many large cities, have not .lowered the standard nor weakened the independ­ ence of the representative citizens of the state. It is not remark­ able that its Governors havebeen men of whom the state is justly proud. If environment and tradition have any force, it is not at all strange that Ohio's Chief Executives should have been men devoted to the best interests of their fellow citizens. The state owes much of its advancement and more of its prominence to the men who have guided it so well and unselfishly. The list of Ohio's Governors contains majny names that will be remembered as long as devoted service and wise leadership are considered marks of distinction. As the state progressed from an outpost of civilization to a great commercial and industrial community, the demands upon its rulers have changed. At the present time, the management of the affairs of the state requires the talents of a clear-headed, conservative man of business, rather than those of the soldier or experienced legislator. All during the years of the slow change of a pioneer into a highly complex society, there has been at hand, almost without exception, the proper man to lead the state along the paths of progress. Moreover, the people of the state have chosen wisely, they have picked men in whom the sense of responsibility was high, men with exalted ideas of honor and integrity. When, therefore, in 1903, Myron T. Her­ rick was chosen as the Republican candidate for Governor, the people felt instinctively that the Party had not belied its tradi­ tions, but had selected a man, who, by training, experience and character, was worthy of the high honor. CHAPTER n. HE history of the early years of every man's life is impor­ tant, for unless we know how he spent his youth, and by T what motives he was actuated when first thrown upon his own resources, we lack details essential to a correct analysis of his character. Individual success is of great importance to society, and, therefore, knowledge of the early years in the life of a successful man is particularly interesting. The dominating characteristics of Myron T. Herrick are independence of thought and action, determination and resourcefulness. These are traits of slow development. They must have had their root in the char­ acters of those from whom he traces his descent. The ancestors of Myron T. Herrick were of that sturdy independent race froni which came the brave fighters and wise counsellors who deter­ mined the country's destiny. His grandfather on his father's side, Timothy Herrick, was born at Watertown, New York. His maternal grandfather, Orrin Hulburt, was bom in Brattleboro, Vermont, but later, moved to Watertow^ New York, and it was here that his mother, Mary Hulburt, wasoOm. Both of his grand­ fathers fought in the War of 1812. In 1834, Timothy Herrick decided to move to the newer country of the West. In pursuance of this plan, he walked all the way from Watertown, New York, to Huntington, Ohio, to find a suitable location for his family. This accomplished, he returned to Watertown. Soon after, with his family and household goods loaded into two wagons, drawn by oxen, he repeated the toilsome journey. This was indeed a formidable undertaking. He was obliged to pick his way through unknown forests, and to cut his own pathway through the trees for practically all of the way.

In making investigations of this family among the published genealogies of the United States I found it was one of the comparatively large families whose name appeared often in early records but one for whom no one person had ever prepared a complete report. A number of New England genealogical correspondents have stated that the history of the Rhode IslaDd Kenyons was a riddle no one had dared to start unraveling, due to the many contradictions in published references and to numer­ ous intermarriages among themselves.

  • Civil War Generals Buried in Spring Grove Cemetery by James Barnett
    Spring Grove Cemetery, once characterized as blending "the elegance of a park with the pensive beauty of a burial-place," is the final resting- place of forty Cincinnatians who were generals during the Civil War. Forty For the Union: Civil War Generals Buried in Spring Grove Cemetery by James Barnett f the forty Civil War generals who are buried in Spring Grove Cemetery, twenty-three had advanced from no military experience whatsoever to attain the highest rank in the Union Army. This remarkable feat underscores the nature of the Northern army that suppressed the rebellion of the Confed- erate states during the years 1861 to 1865. Initially, it was a force of "inspired volunteers" rather than a standing army in the European tradition. Only seven of these forty leaders were graduates of West Point: Jacob Ammen, Joshua H. Bates, Sidney Burbank, Kenner Garrard, Joseph Hooker, Alexander McCook, and Godfrey Weitzel. Four of these seven —Burbank, Garrard, Mc- Cook, and Weitzel —were in the regular army at the outbreak of the war; the other three volunteered when the war started. Only four of the forty generals had ever been in combat before: William H. Lytle, August Moor, and Joseph Hooker served in the Mexican War, and William H. Baldwin fought under Giuseppe Garibaldi in the Italian civil war. This lack of professional soldiers did not come about by chance. When the Constitutional Convention met in Philadelphia in 1787, its delegates, who possessed a vast knowledge of European history, were determined not to create a legal basis for a standing army. The founding fathers believed that the stand- ing armies belonging to royalty were responsible for the endless bloody wars that plagued Europe.

  • The Schulte Family in Alpine, California
    THE SCHULTE FAMILY IN ALPINE, CALIFORNIA The two things that have led to my connection and fascination with Alpine are my visits with my grandmother, Marguerite (Borden) Head or “Zuella”, and the Foss family in the 1950s, and the exquisite art work of Leonard Lester (see separate articles titled The Marguerite (Borden) and Robert Head Family of Alpine” and “Leonard Lester – Artist”). Most of the information on the Schulte family presented here is from 1) conversations with my father, Claude H. Schulte; 2) my grandfather, Christopher Henry Schulte, whose personal history was typed by his daughter, Ruth in 1942; and 3) supplemented by interviews with and records kept by my Aunt Ruth Schulte, including her mother’s diary. Kenneth Claude Schulte – December 2009 Christopher Henry Schulte, who immigrated to the United States in 1889, was born in Twistringen, Germany on 21 Dec 1874 and died 1 May 1954 in Lemon Grove, San Diego Co., California. In Arkansas he was married on 28 Jul 1901 to Flora Birdie Lee, born 16 Oct. 1883, Patmos, Hempstead Co., Arkansas and died 11 Jul 1938, Alpine, San Diego Co., California. Henry and Birdie had eight children: 1. Carl Lee Schulte b. 14 Oct 1902 Arkansas 2. Lois Birdie Schulte b. 07 Jun 1904 Arkansas 3. Otto Albert Schulte b. 29 May 1908 Arkansas 4.

Cleveland, Ohio 44114 Telephone: 216.623.2864 [email protected] cpl.org 1 Property Research Guide for Cleveland & Cuyahoga County Where to Start? The resources outlined in this guide can be used to conduct simple research, such as looking up an address in an old city directory, or more complex research, such as tracing the chain of ownership of a property, finding old photographs for a restoration project, locating previous owners, etc. Property researchers must first give some thought to what they want to know about their subject property. Are you looking for something very specific, such as the building permit for a house, or do you want to know “everything?” The next thing to consider is how much time you are willing to invest in your research. People often start with a simple question that leads to a comprehensive research project with many rewarding discoveries. If you are new to historical property research and would like expert guidance, please refer to the selection of books listed at the end of this guide. How is this Guide Organized? Resources in the Cleveland Public Library, Main Library, are listed first. They are organized by building (Louis Stokes Wing and Main Library Building), starting with the Center for Local & Global History. Many of the resources in this guide may require assistance from a knowledgeable staff person.

  • Ohio & Erie Canalway America's Byway Management Plan Update
    Ohio & Erie Canalway America’s Byway Management Plan Update March 15, 2009 1 OHIO & ERIE CANALWAY AMERICA’S BYWAY MANAGEMENT PLAN PREFACE There are rare instances in America where two national programs can significantly influence the future development of a region. In Northeast Ohio, a Congressionally-designated National Heritage Area and a FHWA-designated America’s Byway are doing just that. In November of 1996, President Clinton signed into law the Omnibus Parks Bill, designating the Ohio & Erie Canalway a National Heritage Area. The Ohio Department of Transportation had recognized the Ohio & Erie Canal Scenic Byway (now called Ohio & Erie Canalway America’s Byway) as its first state byway under reformed criteria adopted from the 1991 ISTEA legislation in June of the same year. Later, In June of 2000, the FHWA also invited the same byway to join the family of National Scenic Byways. From the outset, local leaders have viewed the relationship between the two programs as symbiotic. In one sense, the Ohio & Erie Canalway America’s Byway (America’s Byway) plays an instrumental role in redevelopment strategies along the roadway itself. In another role, it serves as the principal roadway to deliver visitors to those historic, cultural, natural and recreational destinations that define the Ohio & Erie Canalway visitor experience. In an effort to minimize confusion and recognize the affiliations between the America’s Byway program and those associated with the Ohio & Erie National Heritage Canalway, local leaders involved with both have agreed on a number of strategic decisions. First, the adoption of the marketing name and wordmark – Ohio & Erie Canalway for both the America’s Byway and the National Heritage Area.
