It took her many years to trace much of the material that is to follow. It was her long time ambition to share this ma- terial with her many friends in the community, and it is for this reason that I have tried to publish her material in a way that might be of interest to the community.

Description An account of the resource [page 5] [corresponds to unlabeled page 5 of Welcome to the Village of Galena] HISTORY OF GALENA Zoar, located between Big and Little Walnut Creeks, was founded in 1809, by Gilbert Carpenter. In 1834, when it became necessary to establish a post office and there being another Zoar in Ohio, the name was changed to Galena. To choose a new name for Zoar, a committee of three was appointed. Nathan Dustin, grandfather of the late Fred Dustin, was one of the committee. Unable to agree on a name, the three met one day in front of the Dustin residence and agreed that each would place a name in a hat and the first passerby would be blindfolded and asked to draw from the hat. The name he drew would be the new name of the village. Galena was the name drawn. A few of the facts of the early history of our village begins with two brother who started from Wilkesbarre, Pennsylvania to the state of Ohio. One of these brothers, the Reverend Gilbert Carpenter, set- tled in Galena in 1809, and thus became the first Methodist minister in Delaware County. The other, the Honorable Benjamin Carpenter, built about one mile north of Sunbury. The former had been a promi- nent minister in his native state and the latter had been a Congress- man. ( On May 3, 1962, the Delaware City Chapters, Daughters of the American Revolution, dedicated a bronze marker at the grave of Lt. Benjamin Carpenter in the Galena Cemetery for his prominence in the American Revolutionary War.) On April 14, 1813, Gilbert Carpenter conveyed to William Carpen- ter this tract of land in Sunbury Township, which was later divided between Trenton and Berkshire Townships. William Carpenter thus layed out the village of Zoar. His layout showed Walnut street, Mill Race, Middle Street, West Street, the Square, State Road, Front Street, a meeting house and burial ground. On April 3, 1816, upon agreement of said plat drawn up by William Carpenter, to all for whom it may concern, Zoar became a reality. On January 4, 1924, shortly after the village became incorporated, the first form of self-government was organized. The minutes of Council from that first meeting are as follows: Council met in called session at the call of the Mayor-elect for organization. Councilmen-elect present, C.C. Bricker, I.C. Budd, James Van Fleet, Ed Linnaberry and R.E. Fissel. The oath of office was administered by Mayor W.F. Bennett to the following councilmen: C.C. Bricker, I.C. Budd, James Van Fleet, Ed Linnaberry and R.E. Fissel. Councilman C.L. Smythe had deposited oath of office with Mayor Bennett, which was executed on December 19, 1923, before O.W. Whitney, a Notary Public. Moved by James Van Fleet, seconded by I.C. Budd that R.E. Fissel act as President of Council. Carried by affirmative vote. Moved by Ed Linnaberry, seconded by C.C. Bricker that meeting adjourn to meet Monday evening January 7, 1924. Motion carried. Attest: O.J. Hancock, clerk Approved W.F. Bennett, mayor Title A name given to the resource Welcome to the Village of Galena (p. 5) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/236c8b6d8a340b729ddb4c35a00ea8b6.jpg 9cdffce4b00a6e623dc58f2d50245d05 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Bennett, who served as the first mayor, several other men have succeeded. The following is a partial list: I.C. Budd, John Cockrell, Nathan Dustin, Arthur Strider, Paul Evarts, Harold Roof, Hugh Strider and presently Gordon Walker. In 1945, the present town house was constructed. Before this time the village council held their meetings in the school. The town house is used for other organization meetings as well as a voting precinct. A few years later the fire house was added. Before, the fire house was in the basement of the town house. Another improvement by the village took place with the installation of a water system in the late 1950's. On April 16, 1966, the village of Galena will observe its 150th birthday. Let us go back first to September 10, 1907, when Galena celebrated the 100th anniversary of its founding. The celebration took place upon the farm settled upon and formerly owned by Benja- min Carpenter. There were about 125 descendents of the founders in attendance. GALENA SCHOOL The earliest public building on record in Zoar was an old log school house near the site of the present school building. It was used for both school and church purposes, and built years before the platting of the town on April 3, 1816. In preparing the ground for erection of the present school house, workmen discovered it had been formerly a burial ground and from their findings decided it was graves of Indians. In 1867, part of the present school building was erected, which was later in the 1920's remodelled and once again in the early 1950's into the present building. History records that it is the oldest school building in the county in use today. It has always been considered one of the best in the county and while it seemed a little slow in be- coming a graded school, it was only ten years later than the Delaware City Schools. In the early 1900's the Galena School flourished as a preparatory school for teachers. At that time, there was a state law whereby the township must pay tuition for students passing what was known as the Boxwell Test to go to a high school, if that township had no high school. Galena had a better preparatory course than many others in the county, so many students came here, secured, lodging and board in different homes and remained for their course. Mr. Ira Gregory, member of the county board, was superintendent here at that time. A few other early superintendents where I.C. Guinther, D.C. Meek, N.M. Miller, E .W. Van Fleet, Harold Stiles and Grant M. Plumb. From 1886 to 1951, when the school district was consolidated into the Big Walnut School District, 540 students had graduated from the Galena High School.

Description An account of the resource [page 7] [corresponds to unlabeled page 7 of Welcome to the Village of Galena] The most famous person to attend the Galena School, although not a graduate, was the Honorable Frank B. Willis. Mr. Willis was one term Governor of Ohio and one term United State Senator, and was being prominently mentioned as a candidate for Vice President of the United States before his untimely death while speaking at Gray Cha- pel in Delaware, Ohio. The village is dedicating a memorial plaque in his honor on the school grounds during the Sesquicentennial Cele- bration during the first week in July.

Description An account of the resource [page 15] [corresponds to unlabeled page 15 of Welcome to the Village of Galena] OLD HOMES AND BUSINESSES Before 1906, there was no square in the center of town. You could drive any place and as it was horse and buggy days a water trough was near the pump so people could stop and water their horses. There was also hitching posts to tie the horses. But in 1906 the square was graded and made into a square instead of driving through which was caused by the construction of the old 3 C Highway. With the reloca- tion of roads in later years, the square has once again gone back to its square shape. Around this square and throughout the village, many businesses and homes have flourished and many have disappeared. The follow- in is a short review of these different homes and businesses. One of the oldest houses, if not the oldest, was the one formerly owned by Mrs. Lee on the west side of the square which burned when the store burned. It was built with three-inch planks inside, which is thought was intended for protection from the Indians. The Dustin home, built in 1826, now owned by Dr. L.M. Ihle, was the stagecoach station with the bar and all things necessary for such a station. The horses were kept in the barn at the rear of the house. Also, Mr. Nathan Dustin built scales and a stockyard. Hogs were brought there, weighed, and they, with their owner, went on foot to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to the market. In those days there was a larger frame hog than today and the hog put on fat on its way. (On Sunday, May 15, 1966, the Delaware County Historical Society dedicated a historical marker on the Dustin home. The Stagecoach Inn, as it was known, was built by Nathan Dustin (1791 - 1872) of brick that was made at the rear of the building. Mrs. Walter Pabst gave a historical sketch of the Dustin home. Also present was Mr. Charles A. Jones, personal secretary to Sen- ator Frank B. Willis. The wife of Mr. Willis was Allie Dustin, a descendant of Nathan Dustin. Mr. Jones gave a brief characteriza- tion of Mr. Willis and his visits to Galena. ) In the early days on the property last owned by Mr. and Mrs. Lo- gan Barrick on S. Columbus Street, was a grist mill, run by Tom Van Fleet, father of Jim and Carpe Van Fleet. Across the road from this was a sawmill operated by Nathan Dustin, Sr. Near the saw- mill was a tannery. Both of the mills were run by water. Two races were made, one for each mill, taking water from Big Walnut to Little Walnut. One race was visible until 1956, before the City of Columbus acquired the land for construction of the dam. The tannery was a two-story building. On the second floor was the office of Mr. Ed Sherman, who had a patent on building the covered bridges. The patent was on the bracing of these bridges, and he built the ones in the community. There were three of these bridges here, one spanned Little Walnut on the West Galena Road and was replaced by an iron bridge in 1931.

Now, in 1966, these iron bridges have been removed and the roads abandoned because of the Hoover Dam. On the present site of the Galena Bank was the Maynard Hotel, which burned more than eighty-five years ago. By the side of the Maynard Hotel on the south side of the square was a drug store, managed by Squire Wells. The first funeral director in Galena was a Mr. Smothers, then la- ter Mr. Morrison. At present George DeVore operates a funeral home on N. Walnut Street in the dwelling formerly owned by Addie Cooke. The shop on the west side, which burned, was orginally a tailor shop. The building was later enlarged and made into a store. Some of the past proprietors of that store were: Hyde & Young, Mossman, Clint Van Fleet, Merill, C. C. Bricker, Coons, Hancock, Beaver and William Trainer at the time it was destroyed by fire. There was a small building located between the store and the Dus- tin residence used for a voting booth. In later years, on the east side of town was another tailor shop. it belonged to Mr. Van Fleet. Also on the east side was a wagon shop run by Henry Cook, and a paint shop run by Al Seymour. Joe Adams was the painter, paint- ing wagons, etc. These buildings were the ones formerly owned by the late Frank McMahon, his blacksmith shop, etc., but have been removed by the City of Columbus. On the second story of one of these buildings was a Woodman of World (W.O.W.) Lodge. A factory, known as Brown and Hughes employing five men, was located south of the square. They manufactured polks. It was later known as Hugh and Smythe, and they made polks, rakes and hand corn planters. They employed several more men and sent a salesman out on the road to sell their goods. Most of them sold in the South. It discontinued in the early 1920's.

Columbus Street was a creamery. When I moved to Galena in 1906, it was op- erated by J. J. Weber. We, like many other residents, purchased milk at the creamery for seven quarts for a quarter. People went with their little quart buckets for the milk. After the creamery discontin- ued, a Sunshine Feed Store operated there for a few years. Then it was replaced by a house, but now the City of Columbus has taken the building. Later, Mr. George Mulzer started a feed store and beer chip fac- tory in the north end of town where now Mr. E. L. Hoke lives. He built the house and buildings. The chips were made of beech and were used to filter beer. They soon discontinued making them and used all their time on the feed mill, making good corn meal, buck- wheat flour, etc. After Mr. Mulzer's death it discontinued after being operated for a while by a son, Walter. His other son, Leslie is now a retired Brig. General in the Air Force. Several other hotels besides Maynard have operated here. One was on the east side of the square owned by Jim Budd and one on the west side owned by Sam Lee. Also on the south side of the square was Gelvin's Hotel, which is now the Clock Grill. Later restaurants, pool rooms and barber shops have been there. At the present time is Aller- ton's Grocery, Jim Vance's Tire and Battery Service and White's Grill. Dr Utley had a drug store on the south side of the square and they operated a fashionable hotel in the house on the bank of Big Walnut. In the basement they also had a good snack bar, serving school lun- ches and whatever the public demanded. The basement house on N. Walnut Street, south of the railroad crossing was built by Mr. Newman, who operated a restaurant in the basement. At that time the depot was across the street and many trains were in operation. Billy Vance was the agent at the depot.

Mr Newman was also a mail messenger, conveying the mail to and from the post office and the depot. For years, Will Campbell operated a barber shop on the south side of the square. He was also postmaster in the same building for years. Carpe Van Fleet succeeded Mr. Campbell as postmaster. Then the office was moved to the north side with Mr. Fissel as postmaster, the the office burning while there. The post office was temporarily loca- ted on the west side of the square following the fire. Finally it was located at the present site in the Odd Fellows building with George Hogg as postmaster. Charlie Platt operated a meat market on the south side of the square and on the north side over a span of years have been doctors' offices, barber shops, beauty shops, pool room, millinery store and restaurants. At one time the Bell Telephone office was in the rear of the Odd Fel- lows building and the Citizens Telephone office was operated by Mrs. Frank Budd in her home across from the school. The north side grocery had as proprietors: John Adams, Mr. Ing- ham, Hoyt Williams, Will Bennett, I. C. Budd, John Hancock , Bob Glenndening, Gordon Walker and present it is a new brick struc- ture under the management of Roy Jahn. The hardware store on the east side has been removed. Some of the past proprietors of the old store were: Mr. Moss, Bill Mann, Mr. McCamment, H.L. Reed, W.B. Vance, Grant Bennett, Mr. Jordan and Virgil Kincaid. North of the railroad Hank Campbell operated a shoe cobblers shop at his home for years. Just east of that, Mr. E. C. Bennett and Son had a warehouse but it has now discontinued. Other places of business such as livery stables owned by Jim Budd and John Rogers and a sawmill by Grant Bennett have been out of op- eration for years. Before the construction of the present Galena Shale Tile and Brick Company, there was a smaller one in the same location. It was known as the Tile Mill, managed by J. T. Budd, then later by Ed Bennett and Jim Rose. After being idle for a while, it was organized by Mr. B. L. Shultz as the Galena Shale Tile and Brick Company, which is in operation today.

Church, Galena, Ohio] When any building has stood for more than 100 years and has been in constant use, it has many interesting stories and memories for those who know it. No building could have more memories, both joy-- ful and sad, than a church, so we are very grateful for "Our Church." In 1807, the first service on record held in this neighborhood was in a cabin on a farm two miles south of Galena. It was held by a lo- cal preacher by the name of John Williams. Gilbert Carpenter built a mill in Galena in 1809, and services were held in this mill in summer and the homes during the winter up to 1814 when the Carpenter home was built. This house, built one year after our church was organized, was used as a place for public worship for years. While our church here was organized in 1813, with 14 mem- bers, it was fifteen years later before we had a church building. The date of the first recorded official meeting is September 20, 1828. These are the words, "At a meeting of the subscribers held in Zoar, Ezekial Brown, Chairman; Samuel Leonard, Clerk; the follow- ing resolutions were adopted: " 1st. That said house shall be built 40 ft. wide and 60 ft. long. "2nd. That the committee named in the subscription papers shall continue to do business. "3rd. That Benj. Carpenter 2nd shall be acting agent for said house and provide a book and make all necessary entries. "4th. That the subscribers names and their subscriptions shall be entered in said book. "5th. That the agent shall purchase the two Vansicle lots to build said house upon." There were subscribers in all, the largest subscription being $102.50, the smallest $2.00, the total amounting to $1092.

Description An account of the resource [page 20] [corresponds to unlabeled page 20 of Welcome to the Village of Galena] The first trustees of the church property were: Benj. Carpenter, Enoch Domigan, Barack Weeks, John S. Brown, Samuel Leonard, Chas. Carpenter, while Benj. Carpenter, Jr. was Sec. and Treas. of board and superintendent of church building. Later, Samuel Carver, Ira Arnold, Nathan Dustin and Harlowe Allen were elected taking the place of deceased or otherwise removed members. The Galena charge as it was known consisted of eleven points, namely: Galena, Trenton, Kingston, Bennington, Sunbury, Berlin Sta- tion, Eden, Ashley, Winsor Corners, Berlin and Berkshire; Galena be- ing the largest. Samuel Lynch and A. J. Lyons were the pastors. From 1865 to 1868, Ease Delaware was a part of Galena charge. In 1869, the Conference arranged the charge with Galena, Sunbury, Berk- shire and Vans Valley. It remained that way until 1915 or 1916. There is no complete list of pastors until 1844. We know that in 1829, L. Swormstead was pastor and in 1839, William S. Morrow was the preacher. Then beginning in 1844, follows the list of pastors: L. Swormstead, W. S. Morrow, John Scholes, Daniel Lambert, S. H. Alderman, H. M. Shafer, John Mitchell, John Blampied, Sam L. Linch, A. J. Lyons, ________ Adams, S. Frant, B. A. Webster, Amos Wilson, W. G. Watters, J.

McCon- nell, W. R. Polhamus, J. M. Ackman. During either 1915 or 1916, after the division of the charge, it left the Galena and Vans Valley churches together and the Sunbury and the Berkshire churches. Until this division the only parsonage had always been in Galena. Many years later in 1960, the Galena and Vans Valley churches separated, and so today each have their own minister.

The first remodelling of the church took place when Rev. Polhamus entered his duties of pastorate of Galena Church, September 25, 1909. He found the church building in bad condition. The building needed painting, new glass, new paper, the roof leaked, the belfry was bad- ly decayed, the timbers supporting the floor were spreading. In January, 1910, a meeting was called for the purpose of remodel- ling the church and the building of a parsonage at Galena. A build- ing committee, W. C. Roberts, F. C. Cornell, Joseph Arnold, E. B. Cole and the pastor was appointed to raise the money. By June there was pledged $3800.00. On September 9, four days before confer- ence, the church was rededicated with expenses pledged to $5500. During the pastorate of Rev. Ackman, 1914-1916, they added to the church at least 500 members, but lost by death and certificates and numerous moving away about 100. During the year 1916, Galena and Sunbury adopted the envelope system of raising funds for all expenses of the church. An average of .10 per week per member was decided upon. Some may pay .01 or some .75 a week, but the system has worked well and solved the financial problems. With the first remodelling, the interior setting of the Church was changed. The latter remodelling about 1950, presents an addition to the front and extra basement. It was started under the pastorate of Rev. Alva Taylor. The pulpit furniture was presented by Howard Whitehead in mem- ory of his wife, Emma Slack Whitehead, on August 17, 1947, during the pastorate of Rev. S. Lee Whitman, Sr. The beautiful colored windows have been donated by different mem- bers in memory of a loved one. The new Baldwin Orgasonic was purchased in 1955. GALENA CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE The Galena Church of The Nazarene was organized October 29, 1944 with 18 charter members under the leadership of the Reverends Paul and Eva Hayman, at that time pastors of the Westerville Church of The Nazarene.

These grounds ori- ginally were recruiting grounds for soldiers and the supposition is that the first burial might have been an early soldier, causing the be- ginning of the present cemetery. According to present records, which are correct, more Revolution- ary soldiers are buried here than in any other cemetery in Central Ohio. There are records of ten Revolutionary and ten of the War of 1812, eleven who served in the Civil War and three who fought in the Spanish-American War. Several of these graves were moved in the early 1950's because of the building of the Hoover Dam.

The original board of directors consisted of: C. W. Hughes G. J. Roberts C. Horton S.F. Bennett A. O. Griffiths J. H. Dustin J. J. Adams W. F. Miller G. W. Bright J. R. Smythe E. Hall The first president from December 23, 1901 to August 1902, was George Hughes. From 1902 to 1908, the president was George Rob- erts; from 1908 to 1928, William Miller; from 1928 to 1942, Dr Noah Gorsuch; and from 1942 to 1965, Fred Dustin. Late in 1965, the Ga- lena Bank merged with the Delaware County Bank of Delaware, Ohio. The Galena Bank, like other banks, sometime during their lifetime, experiences the misfortune of being held up or broken into, and the Galena Bank is no exception. On Tuesday, October 4, 1932, eight yeggs blew open the safe and looted the bank of about $3500.00. All but $300.00 of the loot was recovered by two men on a road west of town five and one-half hours after the safe had been opened. The following is the story of the bank robbery as it appeared in the Wednesday, October 5, 1932, Columbus Dispatch. While bandits blew the safe of the Galena Bank early Tuesday, five men were being detained in a barber shop across the street by guards who prevented them from giving an alarm. The men were Ralph Watts, Charles Franklin, Pearl Allerton, Carl Cunningham and Gilbert Jones. Hidden behind barber chairs, lying on the floor and seeking cover around a stove, a group of seven men spent four hours in the Galena barber shop from 12:30 to 4:30 A.M. Tuesday, whispering to each other to "keep still" as bandits blew the safe of the Bank of Galena Company across the street. The men in the little barber shop were the only ones who knew of the bandits in the bank building, but they could not get out for guards were posted in front and rear. B.B. Miller, cashier of the bank, said Tuesday that not more than $100.00 was taken by the robbers, who blew the outer door of the safe and used an acetylene porch to cut a hole into the safe. This hole was so small that only two drawers containing pennies and nickels could be reached and the bulk of the money was not ob- tained. Telephone wires in the village were cut and guards were posted by the gang to give warnings. Entrance to the bank was gained through a side window and as soon as the men entered all windows were covered with tar paper to conceal the flames of the torch, but these were visible to the men in the shop.

Description An account of the resource [page 30] [corresponds to unlabeled page 30 of Welcome to the Village of Galena] The only car in which the bandits were seen was a 1927 pale blue Buick sedan with two spare tires in rear and bearing license plates D-8669. After the safe had been blown the men got into the car, according to the men in the barber shop and drove toward Columbus on the 3C Highway. C. F. Myers, marshall of Galena, knew nothing of the robbery un- til called early Tuesday morning, he said. Visions of putting up a brave front and putting the bandits to rout went glimmering when the men in the barber shop saw the guards, who said nothing but watched the men in the shop. A revolver in the barber shop was the only weapon to be used in a fight and after a whispered conference the revolver was placed on the floor out of reach. The conference was not one of war but of peace and discretion was decided to be the better part of valor. The bandits won a wordless victory for not a thing was said by any of them and not a shot was fired. All was quiet except for the creak of the town pump as the robbers pumped water to cool the safe and walked to and fro as they guarded both front and rear of the barber shop. When questioned about how they spent the four hours, the men said they were sure they did not talk. "Every time I head the stones in front of the door make a noise I thought sure that fellow was coming in here, and if he had I know I would have fallen dead right on the floor," Charles Franklin said. Pearl Allerton and Gilbert Jones, the barber, said that it was about midnight when they heard there were several suspicious looking men in town and that it was decided to sit up in the little barber shop and watch them. The light was turned out and the radio turned off and all was quiet until one man looked out the window and saw the two guards on watch and a few minutes later the other man was discovered in the rear of the building. Ralph Watts,Charles Franklin, Pearl Allerton, Carl Cunningham, Gilbert Jones, T. P. Hamer and Kenneth Platt were the men who spent the wee small hours of morning in the barber shop. ----------------------------- No more faithful nor loyal people to their country, conscience of church, can be found than here. Nor shall we wonder when we re- member that of the thirty-six Revolutionary soldiers buried within the county, ten of them are buried in the Galena cemetery, where also, our own Rev. Gilbert Carpenter was laid to rest. As the next generation will build on the foundations we lay for them, may our foundations be equalled to the foundations of our forefathers.
