  • A HISTORY of BELPRE Washington County, Ohio
    A HISTORY OF BELPRE Washington County, Ohio -By- C. E. DICKINSON, D. D. Formerly Pastor of Congregational Church Author of the History of the First Congregational Church Marietta, Ohio PUBUIBHID FOR THB AUTHOR BY GLOBE PRINTING & BINDING COMPANY PARKRRSBURG. WEST VIRGINIA Copyrighted in 1920 by C. E. DICKINSON DEDICATED To the Belpre Historical Society with the hope that it will increase its efficiency and keep alive the interest of the people in the prosperity of their own community. FOREWORD The history of a township bears a similar relation to the history of a nation that the biography of an indi­ vidual bears to the record of human affairs. Occasionally an individual accomplishes a work which becomes an essential and abiding influence in the history of the world. Such persons however are rare, although a considerable number represent events which are important in the minds of relatives and friends. The story of only a few townships represents great historic events, but ac­ counts of the transactions in many localities are of im­ portance to the present and future residents of the place. Belpre township is only a small spot on the map of Ohio and a smaller speck on the map of the United* States. Neither is this locality celebrated for the transaction of many events of world-wide importance; at the same time the early history of Belpre exerted an influence on the well being of the State which makes an interesting stqpy for the descendants of the pioneers and other residents of the township. Within a very few months of the arrival of the first settlers at Mariettapfchey began to look for the most favorable places to locate jtheir homes.

Bower Assistant Professor of Teacher Education Renée A. Middleton Dean, College of Education 4 ABSTRACT HANCOCK, CAROLE WYLIE, Ph.D., March 2008, Curriculum and Instruction Honorable Soldiers, Too: An Historical Case Study of Post-Reconstruction African American Female Teachers of the Upper Ohio River Valley (455 pp.) Director of Dissertation: David F. Bower This exploratory and descriptive study illuminates the lives of African American female teachers who lived in the upper Ohio River Valley between 1875 and 1915. Existing current research depicts teachers in the South and urban North during this period. This study highlights teachers from northern, small to midsized cities in order to bring them into the historical record and direct attention to their contributions to education. The focus of this historical, intrinsic, embedded, single-case case study was on the social profile, educational opportunities, teaching experiences, and support networks of Pocahontas Simmons Peyton, Susie Simmons (Jones?), Bernadine Peyton Sherman, Mary Peyton Dyson, Anna Stevens Posey, and Elizabeth Jennie Adams Carter.

  • 2020 Page Program Book
    WEST VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE PAGE PROGRAM 2020 Published by the Clerk of the Senate and the Clerk of the House of Delegates Since the inception of the Page Program in 1993, its intent has been to provide a learning experience for youth in the legislative process. Our goal is to present educational and historical information to students participating as Pages during the Regular Session of the Legislature. Among other things in the Page Program Book, students will find an explanation of the rules governing the actions of Senators and Delegates as they deliberate legislation on the Chamber Floors of both houses. There is a diagram which covers the basic overview of how a bill moves through the legislative process on its way to becoming law. Students will also find lists of current Senators and Delegates, an overview of the Standing Committees of the Senate and House of Delegates and instructions on proper etiquette when on the Senate or House Chamber Floors. Maps are included to help students find their way around the Capitol Building. It is our hope that students serving as Pages find this experience enjoyable, informative and useful in their educational pursuits and that they come away with a better understanding of the legislative process and an interest in effecting positive change in our state.

It was near midnight on that date, 167 years ago, when Harman Blennerhassett and Comfort Tyler, one of Aaron Burr’s lieutenants of Herkimer, New York, along with a small party of men, pushed off from a bitter cold, snow-covered Blennerhassett Island, out into the southerly currents of the Ohio River.

  • Uncle Cass and the Emperor of Mexico
    Uncle Cass and The Emperor of Mexico by Gaye Buzbee Jacobs “Sir! Are you suggesting that I spy on my best friend? Eliza and I spent our honeymoon with the Blennerhassetts. Har- man is one of the most influential men on the Ohio frontier … and he is as loyal an American as I am!” The State Department Official narrowed his eyes, leaned heavily on Lewis’s desk, and announced that he had come on behalf of President Thomas Jefferson, regarding the report of a conspiracy being hatched on the Blennerhassett’s estate. The identity of the conspirator behind this was not surprising, as Lewis knew the disgraced former Vice President very well. “Mr. Cass, this outfit is raising funds for an army of 1,300 men. They’ve built fifteen boats, outfitted with guns, ammu- nition and supplies and plan to travel down the Mississippi to New Orleans. They’ll create a new country—a monarchy! That scoundrel wants to claim the western territory for himself and secede from the Union. We all know he’s not only wily and shrewd. He evidently wants to regain power and respect. The President thinks it’s about revenge for that tragic duel that ruined his reputation and made him a social outcast. We also believe that Spain is backing him.” Lewis Cass was stunned. How could Harman be that deeply involved? It made no sense. The Blennerhassetts were a wealthy Irish family who had settled on an island in the middle of the Ohio, downriver from Marietta. Despite the rumors that they had fled England because of their incestuous marriage, they used their vast wealth to create a cultured outpost and wayside in the “far west.” Their home was a sumptuous mansion filled with the finest furnishings imported from Europe, where Marga- ret Blennerhassett lavishly entertained dignitaries and traveling officials.

Entered according to act of Congress, in the year 1850, by WILLIAM H. SAFFORD, in the Clerk's Office of the District Court for the District of Ohio. STEREOTYPED BY L. JOHNSON AND CO. PHILADELPHIA. PREFACE. While collecting materials for the present biogra- phy, I have met with unexpected difficulties in pro- curing authentic information from the contemporaries of Blennerhassett. This is to be accounted for in the plain simplicity of most of his neighbours, who took but little interest in his scientific pursuits of which they could neither understand the philosophy, nor com- prehend the meaning. The consequence was, they associated but little with the man, and their acquaint- ance was derived more from what they saw, than from what they heard. It gives me pleasure to acknowledge the courtesy of Dr. S. P. Hildreth, of Marietta, in permitting me the use of the various historical incidents which his assiduity and love of the curious have rescued from oblivion. From the Blennerhassett Papers, published by William Wallace, Esq., I have made liberal quo- tations. To Maj. Horace Nye, of Putnam, and Col. 1* 5 6 PREFACE. Joseph Barker, of Newport, I am alike indebted for much valuable matter rendered more interesting from the fact that they were eye-witnesses of some of the scenes I have attempted to describe.
