VERMLION CROWD 1937
SHOPTALK: Thursday we signed a contract with a local contractor to upgrade the electrical service in the apartment over the shop, tear off the back porch, and replace it. It’s another step in the right direction for the museum (I think).
MONDAY DOCENTS GONE SOUTH: Our regular Monday museum docents – Dave and Ginny Wilkes – are gone to Florida for a few weeks. In their absence Rich’ll (I’ll) be manning the desk.
THE DESKTOP PHOTO: I can tell you when this week’s desktop photograph was taken, but I can’t tell you (specifically) where.
It was taken in 1937 during Vermilion’s centennial celebration. I know that because the little girl (lower right) is my sister Nancy Alice Tarrant Emery.
The only other person I positively recognize in the pic is Vermilion attorney / postmaster Tom Williams.
The fellow with his hand on the mike reminds me of Dick Koontz. And the lady directly behind him (in front of Tom Williams) reminds me of Evelyn Maurer. But those are hardly positive ID’s. (After all, the pic was taken was almost 80 years ago.)
SHORT VIEWS THIS TIME: Views is going to be abbreviated this week. I woke up last night feeling awful. So I’m just going to move things right along and get prepared for the next time. Some of the stories will remain the same until I feel better.
DONATIONS: I almost forgot. Barb and her husband Chuck Ruggles donated some neat artifacts to the museum this week: An antique chair and (as indicated) various articles / artifacts that will be displayed in the apartment over the print shop in the future. These items are appreciated. But I need to begin making a hard-copy list of the various things contributed. The Board will undoubtedly keep after me about such things.
PLAQUE FOR SPECIAL PROJECTS SPONSORS: We’ll soon have a nice plaque in the museum honoring persons who have contributed funds for special museum projects. At the moment we only have one name. We expect to have many more.
SEARCHING: We currently interested in finding copies of The Erie County Reporter from 1880 to 1920 or '30. Nobody on earth seems to have them. If you have knowledge of any of them we'd appreciate hearing from you. There's a great deal of Vermilion information in them.
FIVE-OH-ONE-CEE-THREE: It’s now official. The museum is officially a 501(c)(3) organization. Consequently, all donations to the museum are tax deductible. This is retroactive to November of 2011. (Thank heaven. Now I can fret about something else for months on end.)
VISITING HOURS: We are located at 727 Grand Street in Vermilion across the street from Vermilion's historic E&R Church. The museum is open Mondays, Wednesdays, and Sundays from 1 to 4 PM. On Saturday the museum it is open from 11 AM to 2 PM. A small admission donation of $3 (for adults) is requested. Children under the age of 11 will be admitted for free. Phone For Special Tours: 440-967-4555
POST OFFICE BOX: Please note that the MUSEUM has a post office box now. Now we won’t have to use our home address, nor the one at the shop for mail.
MEMBERSHIPS: Memberships to the VERMILION NEWS PRINT SHOP MUSEUM are now available. Funds generated will go toward the aforementioned renovations and maintenance of the shop.

Historically,
The Girls of '92
PRETTY GIRLS ALL IN A ROW: If I understand the note that accompanied this beautiful pic from Bill Brandon these were “the girls of class of 92” – meaning (I think) VHS. The fourth girl from the left is Alice Kane daughter of Vermilion Postmaster Edgar Kane.
I did some research on Alice (inconveniently leaving it at my office in the shop) so I’ll have to do a bit of research as I write.
But anyway, Alice was born about 1877 to Edgar M. and Sarah L. (Jones) Kane. She had an older brother, William “Bill”, and three younger brothers, Warren, Robert and Roy. I found that she worked (though it must have been very briefly) as a schoolteacher in her youth. Eventually she married a fish tug captain named Frank Hubert Jones (b. 1863). He died in 1938. Alice passed in 1962.
I searched, but was unable to find any very extensive obituary for Alice. Nonetheless, the Kane family (I’ve found) has a very interesting history in our town and elsewhere. And this is a great photograph.
THE DORCAS PENDELL, ETC: While this is not a great photograph it is exceptionally interesting to local history aficionados. It is one of some three dozen sent, electronically, to me by a good friend of our community, Roberta “Bobbi” Riley, who currently resides in Santa Maria CA. She, as I have indicated in previous essays, is a granddaughter of late Vermilionites Ruth and Elton Fischer (PJ 2-2-06). For those who haven’t kept pace with previous articles it may help to understand that Elton, his father George, and his grandfather Nicholas operated a prosperous retail/wholesale lumber business in Vermilion Village (PJ 10-21-05). The lumber company was located on the banks of the river between what is now the Fisherman’s Bend Condominiums and the Vermilion Boat Club. In the latter days of January, 1938 a great fire consumed it. But back to the photo.
The shadows captured are those of the Fischer Lumber Company docks looking southeast along the Vermilion River (c.1900). The area to the left is one of the few good pictures I’ve ever seen of the pristine fen where now some of the most beautiful waterfront homes in Ohio are located (i.e. the Vermilion Lagoons). In the background the trees of Linwood Park loom over the quagmire. And as if only to acknowledge the fact that the swampland was not entirely impenetrable a pair of fair sized barns stand along the left bank down river from the dock. The barns appear in several other photographs of yore - but I’ve no idea of their purpose or who owned them.
Just downstream from the lumberyard wharves the idiosyncratic Driscoll Fish barn is quite visible with its light trimmed windows and doorways. And tied-up at the foot of the lumberyard are two small steam tugs and a 3-masted schooner.
As an aside I would point out that one advantage of digitized photographs is that given the right equipment it is possible to focus in on small details, and to, sometimes, dramatically enhance them. In this instance it was possible to retrieve the name of the schooner; it is the Dorcas Pendell.
P. Rappelyea of East Saginaw, Michigan built the wooden schooner, Dorcas Pendell, in 1884. When this photo was taken she had likely transported goods, such as lumber, wheat, and other grains to and from ports along the Great Lakes for well over 15 years.
During that which is known as the “Big Storm” of November 8-13, 1913 she was “driven hard ashore” in Lake Huron near the breakwater at Harbor Beach, Michigan. And there she remained until the 6th of July the following year when she caught fire, assumed to be caused by an overheated ship keeper’s stove, and was destroyed. There were apparently no casualties in either incident.
Despite all that wonderful information the name of the schooner is still somewhat curious. Investigating the situation further the following information was discovered:
A girl named Dorcas Pendell was born in 1879 in East Saginaw, Michigan. Her father (37) was a "vessel Captain". Her mother, Margarett (28) was from Ireland. Dorcas had a sister named Maud who was 8 years her senior, and a brother, William, who was 3 years older. As for the given name of Dorcas - it is a Biblical name (meaning “Gazelle”). And however unusual it may seem in 19th, 20th, and 21st century America, in 19th century Ireland it was a relatively common name. Thus, it is probably safe to assume that the schooner took its name from this little lady.
Whatever the case, the photograph of the wooden schooner Dorcas Pendell at the Fischer Lumber docks in yesteryear Vermilion is certainly a revealing piece of history - local and otherwise.
AGAIN - ANOTHER NEW (NOW OLD) THING: Initially I said that "This will not take the place of the "Macabre" stuff all the time - but will supplement whilst I search for more macabre stories to tell." But methinks that it's carved out a niche for itself and the "Macabre stuff" with have to find another.
So stay tuned...

No one but the owner and publisher control the policy of the NEWS, and we allow no one to dictate what we should publish; we alone, are responsible for all unsigned articles. Signed articles appear occasionally, and may or may not, be in line with publisher’s views, but are published to give the views of the writers. By the way, in connection, the article which appeared last week signed “A Citizen” was written by a well-known citizen of Vermilion, but not by a businessman or connected with any business firm of the town.
It has always been our intent to publish a clean, reliable newspaper, as much so as can be published, and to stand for what we believe are the best interests of the town. If, in the course of human events, we tread on someone’s corns, - why treat the matter philosophically and remember that it wouldn’t have hurt nearly as much if the corns hadn’t existed.

"“Two drums, a base drum and a snare drum are still kept by members of the family.”"
THE DRUM OF FORTUNE: Several weeks ago (VPJ 01/03/13) I wrote of my great-grandfather’s, Caselton Roscoe’s, civil war experiences as a musician / fifer in the Union Army. I consider it extremely fortuitous to have found a booklet containing some of his (or anyone’s) letters from that era. But to help ice this proverbial cake – last Saturday (01/12/13), whilst sorting through several packets of letters and what-not that were uncovered in the attic of the News Print Shop I found portions of Caselton’s Civil War diary from 1863-64. Because the pages are so fragile I had to be careful with the artifact. But I saw, and read, enough of it to (aside from jumping up and down and yelling “Eureka!”) understand that one of many things the diary immediately did was to provide a date and, therefore, authenticate a pencil drawing of the blockade of Charleston Harbor from Morris Island, N.C. that I had found ten years earlier.
Additionally, I found an old political handbill (c.1848) from a newly organized “Jacksonian” National Democratic Committee in Washington City warning that their opposition (i.e. the Whig Party) had “nominated their candidates without the avowal of any principles”. Though in the end Whig candidate and slave owner Zack Taylor defeated the democrats in the ’48 presidential election that party was on a steady decline moving toward becoming the anti-slavery Republican Party of Abe Lincoln. A penciled note at the top of the document reads, “an old relic”. Whether that refers to the document itself or the concepts therein is unclear.
Yet, so long as I’m icing this cake I might mention one other finding. It began – again – in the aforementioned booklet containing my great-grandfather’s letters. In it I found that my great-great-grandfather Levi Roscoe, who was also a carpenter / millwright / cooper in Milan, Ohio, “…used to make drums for the boys, one he made had a head three feet across, he called that the Union. He sold three of the smaller ones to his nephew and received nineteen dollars.” The account went on to say that, “Two drums, a base drum and a snare drum are still kept by members of the family.”
Now given the reality that I am often unable to strike a nail on the head before my finger I find this note regarding my grandfather’s expertise as an artisan extremely impressive. If nothing else it’s an interesting family factoid. But of and by itself, it was nearly meaningless to anyone outside my family until…
It was inside a large trash bag in the back of my late father’s closet above the Print Shop. I thought it was yet another bag of junk, clothes, blankets, etc. I set the bag on a bed, unfastened the twist-tie, opened the bag, and there it was – the Levi Roscoe snare drum (pictured) made right around the time of the Civil War. One side of the calfskin drum is ruptured. It’s ropes and leather tab ears are dirty and worn. But there it was. A hundred and some sixty years, and only heaven knows just how many drum beats, after the fact. Wow!
There is, of course, no real – no monetary - value that can accurately be assigned these items; the diary, the handbill, the drum. There would be no point. Their value is that they exist. And they exist to be shown and to be studied. For they provide us with a very tangible bridge to our past – things that allow each of us a connection to, not only where we have been, but where we are headed as human beings, as a society, and as a nation of free men and women. It is been my fortune to find the drum, but the tattoo once played upon it in war or in peace now echoes throughout the yesteryear and belongs to all.
THE FIRE-LANDS: I found the following information re: the early inhabitants of our area to be extremely informative. Methinks you will also.
I am getting better at transcribing these passages so there are fewer mistakes. But I like to read as I go - and sometimes I fill in the blanks. So tread carefully this trail through yesteryear.

Mr. F. A. Chapman came into this part of the country when he was about eighteen years of age, during the turbulent times of the last war with England. He was first engaged, with one or two of his brothers, and T. G. Amsden, in hunting, trapping and trading with the Indians, and their operations extended over a large portion of the northwest, reaching as far, at least, as Green bay, on Lake Michigan. The dangers attendant upon such a calling, and the romantic adventures which made it so attractive to the young and daring, are well illustrated by a thrilling incident, which the reader will find recorded on another page of this work, in the biographical sketch of Mr. Amsden, who, as above stated, was associated with the Chapman brothers in this exciting and perilous business. Having already related it in connection with the notice of Mr. Amsden, it will not be necessary to reproduce it here.
Soon after reaching his majority, Mr. Chapman went into the dry goods trade in Bellevue, with Mr. Amsden. Together, they carried on a successful business for many years. Never, perhaps, did the mental qualities of two men more completely supplement each other, thus forming that happy combination which alone can render a business partnership either satisfactory or successful. Mr. Chapman's business tact enabled him early to see the value of real estate, of which he secured here a generous slice, while prices were cheap. Its rise in value, afterwards, together with a business well managed, provided his family with comfort and plenty.
Mr. Chapman was born at Bethlehem, Connecticut, March 10, 179G. His father's name, as we are informed, was Michael, and his mother was a daughter of Dr. Hawley, a physician of considerable note in those days. Before coming to Ohio, they resided for a number of years (not ascertainable) in Ontario county. "New York. The parents settled in Huron county some five or six years after their sons came here.
On the 10th of May. 1830, Mr. Chapman was married to Clemence A Follett, daughter of Eliphalet and Tryphena (Dimick) Follett, who had migrated from western New York to Huron county about six years before. The family came to western New York from…

MIS MOTORS: My first recollection of the Mis family is when they purchased the old Kyle Motor dealership building and home on Decatur Street sometime back in the late 1950s or very early 1960s.
Mr. Mis (I believe) started a nut and bolt manufacturing business in the old garage (currently the Vermilion Court and Council Chambers building). The family, of course, lived in Kyle’s old house. It was a two-story frame structure that sat where the court and police parking lot is today. It would have been directly behind the Vermilion Police Station were it still standing.
Sometime thereafter the family had (as is obvious) a (Nash) Rambler dealership east of town. It was located in the building just east of the storage lockers on the north side of Liberty Avenue about a quarter mile east of Sunnyside Road.
I don’t know who Ray Jackson was, but I do remember that the Mis son, Bob, was involved in the business.
While they quit making Ramblers a long time ago, they always seemed to be a pretty good vehicle to me. But streamlined they weren’t.

NADA AGAIN: I may begin doing the podcasts again; but I'm thinking of just doing audio readings. The videos on-line are just becoming too redundant unless they really show something special. The short videos that appear on the VNPSM Facebook page are more purposeful. You might want to check them out.
I've not forgotten about this part of "Views". I've just been busy. But I will get back to it.
Persons interested in the history of the Lake Shore Electric Railway (which was the subject of a recent past podcast series) - "the greatest electaric railway system on the planet" may want to go to Amazon.com and purchase a book called "Images of Rail - Lake Shore Electric Railway". It was put together by Thomas J. Patton with the help of my friends Dennis Lamont and Albert Doane. It'd make a nice gift.
Another great book with Vermilion Roots is, "Grandmas’ Favorites: A Compilation of Recipes from Margaret Sanders Buell" by Amy O’Neal, Elizabeth Thompson and Meg Walter (May 2, 2012). This book very literally will provide one with the flavor of old Vermilion. And ye can also find it at Amazon.com. Take a look.
LOCAL ANNOUNCEMENTS: After giving it much thought this link has been "put-down". During the last year most of the folks who used to use this page as a bulletin board have acquired their own and, consequently, no longer need this forum from "Views". I have, however, kept links (in the links section) to Larry Hohler's "Hope Homes" in Kenya - and to Bette Lou Higgins' Eden Valley Enterprises sites. They are historically and socially relevant projects. I suggest that you visit these sites on a regular basis to see "what's shakin'".
