The printing of this volume was commenced in 1845, and has necessarily progressed slowly, in consequence of the dif- ficulties and dela}'s in obtaining authentic materials, occasion- ed often by the tardiness of correspondents and the indifference of those who should have been interested in the matter. The author takes pleasure in commending it to those for whom it is especially designed—the Kilboubn Family of America. Though he cannot flatter himself that his work is destitute of errors, he still believes it to be freer from them that the gener- ality of books of the kind. He would here express his ac- knowledgments to the Hon. James Kilbourne, of Worthing- ton, Ohio ; Austin Kilbourn and N; Goodwin, Esqrs., of Hartford, Conn. ; Maj. Edward Kilbourne, of Fort Madison, Iowa ; Hon. Ira Kilbubn, of Lawrenceville, Pa: ; Rev. Wm, S.

S, KILBOURNE, J June 27, 1848. iPiEmifAO.- It can hardly be deemed necessary to state the object of this volume more fully than it is contained in the title-page: This is emphatically an age of antiquarian and genealogical research. Few intelligent descen- dants of the puritan settlers of New England, especially, are to be found, who do not cherish a filial reverence .for their progenators, and an ardent desire to know more of their history. It is a laudable and virtuous spirit which would keep alive a knowledge, and emulate the good deeds, of those who have passed over the stage of Existence before us, and who now "rest from their labors." And surely if any people on earth have a special right to boast of an illustrious ancestry, they are those whose homsteads are found in the deep glens and and along the mountain fastnesses of the Land of the Pilgrims, It has been the design of I he author of these pages to preserve from a pre- mature oblivion, the recorded and traditionary history of the KILBOURNS of this continent, from the date of the landing en these shores of the com- mon ancestors of the

    4/28/92 WORTHINGTON PUBLIC LIBRARY 62 805 Hartford Street Worthington, OH 43085 HISTORIES OF STRUCTURES in WORTHINGTON AND SHARON TOWNSHIP by ROBERT W. McCORMICK Worthington, Ohio March 1992 WORTHINGTON PUBLIC LIBRARY ---page break--- WorthingtonMemory.org page 2 of 476 PREFACE Every structure has a history, but very old structures are not necessarily historically significant. They may simply be old, Determining which structures to preserve and which to demolish involves making judgments about which are historically significant and which are not. Arriving at these judgments often involves a public forum in which both factual and emotional inputs are obtained. Presented herein is factual material related to the historical background of Worthington and Sharon Township structures. The fact that a structure is included in this compilation does not imply that the structure should be preserved at all costs. While the author of this publication admits he is basically a preservationist, he is most concerned that decisions about preservation or demolition of structures should be based upon the best available evidence. Citizens rightfully expect public officials to explain their reasons for deciding to preserve or demolish "old" buildings. This document deals primarily with the historical background of structures. While the architectural significance of a structure is certainly an important consideration, this publication does not speak to that dimension. Primary sources of data have been utilized in the development of this publication. Deed records, mortgage records, tax records, plat maps, census data, village and city council minutes, village and county directories, manuscript collections, and contemporary newspaper accounts have been utilized. Some published histories have been utilized to describe the family backgrounds and activities of some of the owners and occupants of these structures.

In a very real sense, Ohio is a monument to his memory. Yet his political services have never been adequately recognized, and no biography of him has hitherto appeared. Worthington was a dominant figure in early Ohio politics.

  • The Story of a Wisconsin Dells Landmark (No Markup)
    LOUIS’ BLUFF THE S TORY OF A W ISCONSIN D ELLS L ANDMARK as revealed in glimpses of its history, geology, and wildlife, and some of the characters that shaped its neighborhood FRANK A. W EINHOLD (c) Copyright 1993, Frank A. Weinhold All Rights Reserved ` PREFACE This booklet was prepared for those who visit or live at Louis' Bluff, or whose family history is somehow linked to this corner of southeast Juneau County, Wisconsin. My aim was to describe what can be found in neighborhood of the bluff, and how it came to be — to convey a "sense of place" of this noteworthy landmark. The story of an isolated landform may seem to stretch the notion of "local history" to an absurd extreme. However, events at Louis' Bluff were often linked to general developments throughout the region and the state. Thus, the author hopes that the reader may find in this booklet some anecdotes of broader interest relating to characters and events that touched Louis' Bluff and contributed to the colorful history of the Dells region. I have attempted to assemble a factual account of events at Louis' Bluff, often at the expense of extravagant tales spun for the benefit of tourists aboard the Dells tour boats. In this, I have relied on archival and published materials (see Bibliography) as well as oral history from many sources, particularly Helene Blaser and other descendants of the Dupless family.
