History of Englewood THE HISTORY OF ENGLEWOOD AND RANDOLPH TOWNSHIP MONTGOMERY COUNTY, OHIO WITH A FORWARD BY JOHN W. WAYMIRE BY EARL LEON HECK Copyright, 1969 By Earl Leon Heck Englewood, Ohio This History of Englewood and Randolph Township is respectfully dedicated to the Memory of Ohmar Jackson, a personal friend of many years Who gave me incalculable aid in the gathering of the material for this work. E.L.H. Prefatory Note With the exception of a few additional facts inserted at various places in the main historical sections, the text is essentially the same as that in a manuscript edition finished in 1960 and distributed to the following: The Northmont High School Library, Englewood. The Dayton-Montgomery County Public Library. The Martha Kinney Cooper Ohioans Library, Columbus. However, in Appendix 9 there are many new items of interest. Mr. Wilson N. Browning has supplied me with a detailed account of the organization of the Englewood Masonic Lodge No. 743 pp. 126, 127. The Addends, p.128 contains a few more important dates in the history of the town. Additional information about the Fouts and Hoover families was supplied by the late Miss Alice Menges. (pp. 130-132) Mr. John Herr of Whittier, California who was born near Englewood has supplied additional facts of a lively and entertaining nature concerning many of the older citizens of Englewood who lived in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. (pp. 133-136) Mr. Samuel Wenger has written an account of the various Brethern churches in the community. (pp. 137-141) Mr. Richard A. Lenehan of Dayton has supplied the broadsides about the later days of the railroad. (pp. 144 and 146) Mrs. Joseph Aiken (Kathleen Free) has supplied additional facts about the Kinsey family and the Beck sisters. (pp. 145) FOREWORD (By a former teacher in the Englewood Community) To write the history of a community, or a single village, may to some appear like a small matter of moment, while to others it is considered very desirable that some one should do so. How else are the names, memories and deeds of our early settlers and friends to be preserved? And who is there that will not be pleased to look back, or to have his children look upon some record of his early days and of departed friends? And how else could strangers settling in a town so readily obtain knowledge of its affairs as is complied by the author of this History of Englewood. It is brim full of historical facts of our early settlers. The following pages is to preserve for the people of Englewood and its community an imperishable record of those facts; and although they may not realize the full importance of the work, their descendants will fully appreciate the volume of it, which alone preserves to them and account of the customs and early life of their ancestors. John W. Waymire San Diego, California. TALES OF THE STILLWATER Out from the valleys of Mercer, And down though the plains of Darke, It wanders and twists through the meadows, And flows through the forests, dark; The voice that we hear in its wanderings, The murmurs that come from its heart Are tales about men since time began And the haunts of the pheasant and lark. Deep secrets it hears from the Wabash, Dark tales of a blood-drenched plain, Where the white men fell by hundreds, Never to rise again; Sad tales do we hear in its wanderings, Dirges of sorrow and pain, The low song that it sings is oft of the things Of battles in the sleet and the rain. Out from the depths of the forests Come tidings of more cheerful ken At the great Fort they signed a Treaty That brought the war to an end; To its valley came its first settlers To live, and to clear the land; Then the tales of its waters Were of the sons and the daughters Of this pioneer stock of men. There is a tale that it tells in its journeys- A tale of a girl of old, How she hunted and trapped in the forest To pay off the farm’s mortgage in gold; How she broke the world’s record at shooting, And won the love of a great queen’s soul; But she never lost touch with the old farm she loved much- Far better than trophies of gold. The Stillwater flows through the fields of Miami Gaining strength from a Shelby stream; And it glides in its sweet easy manner, As if lost in an enchanting dream; Its tales now soon are ended, As on to the south it flows, Passing the spot where once stood the cot Where Tecumseh was born- from old histories we glean.

    Early Development of Transportation 115 EARLY DEVELOPMENT OF TRANSPORTATION ON THE MONONGAHELA RIVER By W. Espy Albig* Although the traffic on the Monongahela River from Brownsville to the Ohio had advanced from the canoe of the Indian and the Kentucky boat of the emigrant of Revolu- tionary times, to a water borne traffic of no mean size in passengers and miscellaneous freight, and to more than a million bushels of coal annually before the Monongahela waterway was improved by the installation of locks and dams late in 1841, yet no records remain of the constantly increasing stream of commerce passing over this route be- tween the east and the west. Here and there remains a fragment from a traveller, a ship builder or a merchant giv- ing a glimpse of the river activity of the later years of the 18th century and the early ones of the 19th century. The Ohio Company early recognized the importance of this waterway, and in 1754 Captain Trent on his way to the forks of the Ohio by Nemacolin's and the Redstone trails, built "The Hangard" at the mouth of Redstone Creek. From April 17th, when he surrendered his works to the French and retreated in canoes up the Monongahela, this avenue became more and more important until the steam railways supplanted the slower traffic by water. The easy navigation of this stream led that man of keen insight, George Washington, into error, when, under date of May 27, 1754, he writes: "This morning Mr. Gist ar- rived from his place, where a detachment of fifty men (French) was seen yesterday.

  • The Principal Indian Towns of Western Pennsylvania C
    The Principal Indian Towns of Western Pennsylvania C. Hale Sipe One cannot travel far in Western Pennsylvania with- out passing the sites of Indian towns, Delaware, Shawnee and Seneca mostly, or being reminded of the Pennsylvania Indians by the beautiful names they gave to the mountains, streams and valleys where they roamed. In a future paper the writer will set forth the meaning of the names which the Indians gave to the mountains, valleys and streams of Western Pennsylvania; but the present paper is con- fined to a brief description of the principal Indian towns in the western part of the state. The writer has arranged these Indian towns in alphabetical order, as follows: Allaquippa's Town* This town, named for the Seneca, Queen Allaquippa, stood at the mouth of Chartier's Creek, where McKees Rocks now stands. In the Pennsylvania, Colonial Records, this stream is sometimes called "Allaquippa's River". The name "Allaquippa" means, as nearly as can be determined, "a hat", being likely a corruption of "alloquepi". This In- dian "Queen", who was visited by such noted characters as Conrad Weiser, Celoron and George Washington, had var- ious residences in the vicinity of the "Forks of the Ohio". In fact, there is good reason for thinking that at one time she lived right at the "Forks". When Washington met her while returning from his mission to the French, she was living where McKeesport now stands, having moved up from the Ohio to get farther away from the French. After Washington's surrender at Fort Necessity, July 4th, 1754, she and the other Indian inhabitants of the Ohio Val- ley friendly to the English, were taken to Aughwick, now Shirleysburg, where they were fed by the Colonial Author- ities of Pennsylvania.

All rights reserved. Preface With some hesitation at CBS, Cayuga Productions continued Twilight Zone for what would be its last season, with a thirty-six episode pipeline – a larger count than had been seen since its first year. Producer Bert Granet, who began producing in the previous season, was soon replaced by William Froug as he moved on to other projects. The fifth season has always been considered the weakest and, as one reviewer stated, “undisputably the worst.” Harsh criticism. The lopsidedness of Seasons 4 and 5 – with a smattering of episodes that egregiously deviated from the TZ mold, made for a series much-changed from the one everyone had come to know. A possible reason for this was an abundance of rather disdainful or at least less-likeable characters. Most were simply too hard to warm up to, or at the very least, identify with. But it wasn’t just TZ that was changing. Television was no longer as new a medium. “It was a period of great ferment,” said George Clayton Johnson. By 1963, the idyllic world of the 1950s was disappearing by the day. More grittily realistic and reality-based TV shows were imminent, as per the viewing audience’s demand and it was only a matter of time before the curtain came down on the kinds of shows everyone grew to love in the 50s.

    Twenty-Three Tales Author(s): Tolstoy, Leo Nikolayevich (1828-1910) Publisher: Grand Rapids, MI: Christian Classics Ethereal Library Description: Famous for his longer novels, War and Peace and Anna Karenina, Leo Tolstoy displays his mastery of the short story in Twenty-Three Tales. This volume is organized by topic into seven different segments. Part I is filled with stories for children, while Part 2 is filled with popular stories for adult. In Part 3, Tolstoy discreetly condemns capitalism in his fairy tale "Ivan the Fool." Part 4 contains several short stories, which were originally published with illustrations to encourage the inexpensive reproduction of pictorial works. Part 5 fea- tures a number of Russian folk tales, which address the themes of greed, societal conflict, prayer, and virtue. Part 6 contains two French short stories, which Tolstoy translated and modified. Finally, Part 7 contains a group of parabolic short stories that Tolstoy dedicated to the Jews of Russia, who were persecuted in the early 1900©s. Entertaining for all ages, Tolstoy©s creative short stories are overflowing with deeper, often spiritual, meaning. Emmalon Davis CCEL Staff Writer Subjects: Slavic Russian. White Russian.
