There were two rollercoaster racers side-by-side – one went almost to the river. This must be the other one, closer to High St. Though I’m not sure they will built at the same time. Super picture, thanks!

I have had a letter for many years which was inside an old book on Shakespeare. It is from ‘Amy L. deHousenrike” or perhaps deHousenripe who was living in Clintonville at the time of the writing to her friend. I have no last name for the friend, whose first name was “Martha”, who had just lost a brother to death.
I can find no surname even close to this one, but have thought for years that I would like the descendants of one of these ladies to have the letter. Have you an people now in this area by that last name?
Thank you for any help.

Dave, Thanks for your work on the map. That is a really clean version.
Can you read the date or do you have a larger version?

There is a home on Indianola near Walhalla that is Fredrick’s son’s home. The family farm appears to be to the east of that and fairly expansive

I have a more detailed photo of the Sweigert home when the last family lived there. They were told the house would not be torn down by Maple Grove Church who purchased it.

Comment on James G. Bull by Marty Cottrill

I think the middle name of James G. Bull is Gilruth. I noticed that when researching my Beers ancestors (from the same part of Columbus). My great-great-grandmother’s brother, born the same year as James, was named Elias Gilruth Beers. Well, it also happens that a well-known and highly respected circuit rider who covered their area around that time was named James Gilruth. He was known for his compelling preaching but also for his impressive size and strength. My guess is that both the Beers and Bull parents chose the ir boys’ names with the hope that they would emulate some of the preacher’s moral and physical strength.

The Olentangy bowling alley also housed a very large gun range in the basement. After years of use it was discovered that lead dust had permeated the entire building making it uninhabitable without extensive remediation. Surprise, surprise the building burned down.

I remember similar three story structures on the southwest west corner of Hudson and High Sts.. One of the three story buildings housed the Little Art Theater in the 1960′s
