The opinion of City Solicitor Newton D.Balcer is. in part. as follows: Erie Street Cemetery was acquired in september,1825. by Leonard Case.trustee,and on the 29th day of Karch.l826,Leon­ ard and Elizabeth Case conveyed the land by quit.clai. to the vill~ge of Cleveland. Almost immediately the ~4 waa laia out and platted as a cemetery and continuously fro. that time until recently the Erie Street Cemetery was a public c..etery.owned and maintained by the city,and Tery many buriale were author­ ized there,the number aggregat1ng,I am told,perhaps 20.000. Upon the question as to the nature ot the city's title, I am wholly tree from doubt. Originally the property was owned b' the Connecticut Land Co.and it subsequently came into the possession of Caleb Atwater,and torty seven others who deeded it to Korgan,Caldwell and Brade a. trusteea by quitclaim deeds from Eldridge and other Joint proprietors. Leonard Case became the owner ot the dratt interests ot William Eldridge,Thomae Lloyd and Charles Douglas. Kr.Case then tiled a petition suit, statin£ ~t he was tenant in common with divers other persons, inclUding that covered by the ~ie street Cemetery and assert­ ing a tee si.ple title to the lots in question.

Along with my childhood memories of holiday gatherings at my grandparents’ house, camping out in the backyard with cousins, and playing with the many pets they shared their home with over the years, I have recollections of studying the family tree and coats of arms that hung along the stairway, holding the spoon made by our ancestor, silversmith Daniel Van Voorhis (1751- 1824), and looking at lots and lots of family photographs. For some of the photographs, my grandmother had names for and stories about the people. For others, she didn’t, but we nevertheless found them fascinating and worth keeping.

  • Davidson College Catalog
    EDUCATION OF VETERANS Davidson College is cooperating in full with the Veterans Administration in its educational program for men whose education was interrupted by the war and for veterans who plan to enter college for the first time. Davidson is a liberal arts college offering those courses leading to the Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts Degrees. Description in detail of the offerings of the College is listed under the appropriate head- ings in the catalog. Members of the armed forces who wish to enter Davidson should contact the Registrar of the College who is in position to give veterans full information concerning the program of the College for ex-servicemen. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE The financial assistance available to veterans for educational purposes is a subsistence allowance by the Federal Government of $65 a month if without dependents or $90 a month with one or more dependents. For the customary charges for tuition and necessary college fees an amount not to exceed $500 will be paid for an ordinary college year. This amount is more than sufficient to meet the college fees and charges at Davidson. Such fees and charges have been estimated to be as low as $400 for the twelve months. The fees and charges include all tuition and college fees, medical fees, laboratory fees, books, and supplies. From the allowance of $65 or $90 a month a veteran must take care of his living expenses including board, room and laundry. Veterans who wish to attend Davidson under the provisions and benefits of the "G. I. Bill" should communicate with the nearest Veterans Administration office.

  • Heritage of Books on Cleveland
    A L....--_----' Heritage of Books on Cleveland Cleveland Heritage Program A HERITAGE OF BOOKS: A Selected Bibliography of Books and Related Materials on Cleveland to be found at the Cleveland Public Library by Matthew F. Browarek CLEVELAND PUBLIC LIBRARY 1984 Cover photograph: Hiram House Station C 1920 Archives. Cleveland Public Library PREFACE The Cleveland Heritage Program was born out of the conviction that the city of Cleve­ land possesses unique qualities worth capturing in pictures and words. In designing the program, Professor Thomas Campbell of Cleveland State University and I were prompted less by a desire to evoke nostalgia than to retrieve fugitive material for the benefit of scholars whose work will help us to understand how and why our city is what it is. If the uses of history are to serve the present generation, then the Cleveland Heritage Program has done its work well. Funded primarily by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the program was carried on over a two-year period from 1981 to 1983. Important supple­ mentary grants were made by the Cleveland Foundation, the George Gund Foundation and Nathan L. Dauby Fund. Also, the Cleveland Heritage Program greatly benefited from the cooperation of the following institutions: the Cleveland Public Schools, the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland, the Greater Cleveland Growth Association, the Western Reserve Historical Society, Cuyahoga Community College, WVIZ-TV and the College of Urban Affairs of Cleveland State University. Under Professor Campbell and his many able assistants, diligent research recovered valuable artifacts, photographs and oral histories relating to several of Cleveland's neigh­ borhoods.

Stereotypen aod Bookbinders, Herald Building, Cleveland, 0, ADVERTISEMENT. The publishers, in presenting this Directory, which they flatter themselves will be found, in style and completeness nearly adequate to the wants of our flourishing city, in justice to themselves, and to forestall any criticisms which may fall unjustly on the work, would offer the following remarks: Wo expense has been spared to secure a thorough canvass of the city; every street, lane, and alley, has been reported to us, and we have had no reason to question the fidelity of those whom we have employed. Still there may be, and probably are, some errors in the volume, in reference to residences, places of business, and occu­ pation, arising from the fact that some of our streets are very deficient in numbers ; and especially will this apply to those recently laid out. The most rigid examina­ tion was made of the reports brought in to us, and all that care and industry could do to render the work full and accurate, has been done. The sketch of the city has been carefully prepared by our townsman, Dr. J. S Newberry; the historical portion of which having been principally compiled from the notes kindly furnished him by John Barr, Esq.
