My name is Cindy Guinther, and this is my Great Grandfather, Nathan A. McCoy. Thank you so much for this picture. I have never seen a picture of him before, yet I’ve always heard so much about him. My Grandmother, his daughter was Bessie Marie Mauk / Edwards.

My family has all passed away now, and it means so much to be able to see my Great Grandfather for the first time ever. Thanks again!!

I grew up at 89 E. Tulane and walked past Crestview Market twice a day. Loved having a market in the neighborhood and thought it was cool that my buddy Ben Jay’s parents owned it.

I’m part of the German “Weissheimer” family. Jakob Weissheimer was the son of Isaak Weissheimer. Another of Isaak’s 11 children was a son called Michael, Jakob’s brother, who became the father of my great-grandfather Georg. After World War II, Charles and Grace Weisheimer from Columbus / Ohio sent CARE packages to my mother’s family which was an invaluable support, and in the late 50es or beginning 60es Charles and Grace came to Germany for a visit to our family. My aunt has a large Weissheimer family tree which goes back to the late 14th century and abundant documentation about the family. I’m about to compile all the documentation, dates and anecdotes and want to turn it into a book to be distributed to all our family members. Therefore, I would like to know more about the Weisheimer family of Columbus, because that’s the part which is not so abundantly documented in my aunt’s archive. So, I really would be happy if anyone of you could help me. Of course, if you would like to know about the roots of the German Weissheimer family, I will be happy to give you all the dates. You can contact me via e-mail brigitte@moder.com

Thank you very much in advance!

Best regards from Brigitte

Dorthy Cooke Hambleton is my father’s mother. It was fun to show my children (who love to put on plays) this photo!

My mother is Gayla Weisheimer, daughter of my grandfather Paul Weisheimer, who also owned and ran the mill on King Ave with his brother Carl. My Grandfather lived in the White House on the Property, and I grew up playing on every floor in the Mill, sometimes on the roof without permission. I have read the Weisheimer book your Grandfather did on the History of the Weisheimer Family. My GrandFather showed me the Milling Stone in Olentangy River when I was 8 years old, from the East Bank from the property of Weisheimer Mansion.

That same day he showed me the location where the Circus came and set up North of Dodridge on the East side of the Olentangy River when he was a child.

I sure do miss Clintonville, Jason Buchanan

Comment on Schreyer house by Valerie

I understand that our house on west dominion was one of the original 10 in the Rosemary development, built around 1926. I found the names of the Doddridge family in Maple Grove’s membership registry from 1928 with our address, but I haven’t been able to learn any more about the house and the neighborhood. Any ideas where to look? Thanks!

Comment on David Beers by Daniel Wilkens

Hello, I was paging through your book the other day and found the reference to the David Beers farm and mill. It sounded familiar, so I looked through the journals of two War of 1812 artillery officers, Captain Daniel Cushing and 1st Lt. Joseph Larwill. On the snowy new years day of January 1st, their company got stuck on the Worthington Road near Beer’s farm. The captain and lt stayed out with their two wagons while the other enlisted men and officers took shelter in the Beers cabin and barn. The next day they had to leave some equipment in the barn to get the heavily-laden wagons moving. They had to send an additional team of horses from Worthington to get thier vehicles out of the mire.

Hi,
Not sure if you count this as C-ville or not, but my dad’s friend, Geoff Bachert has a great mural at 179 Arcadia.

The bridge is today’s Calumet Street. The first, left, photo is facing approx. east/southeast just north of Arcadia. The picture on the right would be facing south, toward the school once known as North High School. –Shirley
