Vermilion Ohio, A Good Place to Live
SHOPTALK: On the shop desk this week is an unusual wide-angle pic of the corner at South and State Streets looking south down State / Rt. 60.
I think the reason this pic was taken was weather related. It appears that there was an ice storm. So, everything we’re looking at here is coated with a thin coating of pure ice.
Somewhere I have a similar pic that was taken just down the block of the corner of South and Division / Main streets looking east.
Actually, the shoptop pic is easy to recognize for most Vermilionites. The house to the right was, for a long time, the Howell home. And the house to its right was built by one of the Goetz brothers. Today Jane Smith lives there.
On my home desk this week are three men standing in the drive at the Diamond Cheese Factory in Axtel, Ohio. The factory stood (the house still stands) on the west side of State Road / Rte. #60 about a quarter mile south of the intersections of State and Mason Roads.
This pic is actually just part of a wide-angle photograph. The factory itself is located on left side of the pic.
In looking at this particular part of the photo I wonder why the men have their arms crossed. Was it chilly or were they just showing off their muscles? It seems odd.
As one can see the area was in great need of some sprucing up. It was looking kind ‘a shabby. In the wider view you can also see sundry bits of trash along the road. It’s not as tidy as one might think it was - way back when.
Margaret made an impressive presentation to the City Council and they almost instantly approved of the signs. (That, in many cases, is unheard of.) She basically designed them, then order them. When they arrived she arranged to have board members Bob Reese and Mark Slocum install them. A few days thereafter Margaret and Janet dug out a little flower garden and filled it with some mums (for tis the season).
I am not a person who throws compliments around very often – but I have to commend these folks for the great job.
My part in all this was to watch them work with a cane in my hand: I’ll get by with a little help from my friends…
Merci.
HOLY-MOLY: I’m still plagued with problems relative to my June 1st hip replacement. [I tell folks that they’ve put a 2017 model hip into a 1944 body. So it’ll be a miracle if it works.]
Anyway, what I think happened is that I may have damaged my sciatic nerve when I stupidly moved a heavy bureau back in July. Sometimes my whole leg hurts so bad all I can do is lay flat on my back with an ice bag on my hip and leg. It takes from 2 to 6 hours for the pain to subside. My physical therapist told me last week that sometimes it takes a year to get back to normal.
Holy-Moly! I certainly hope not.
[NOTE: The surgeon (later) gave me a prescription for a steroid that seems to help. I can now lift a Volkswagen over my head with one hand.]
Historically,
VERMILION VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT: Well, it’s a terrible pic. But given that it’s a photo of a microfilm picture that was worse than what you see it’s not rally all that bad. Fortunately we have some names to apply to all the rather obscure faces:
In the top row L-R: Ed Erbskorn, Wm. Shifler, Frank Tischer, Henry Knott, John Englebry, Geo. Lang, Geo. Nieding, Frank Bond, Laddis Martinek, C.F. Decker and John Carr.
Second Row: John Naegele, Fred Berger, Louis Blattner, Henry Leidheiser, M.H. Stevenson, J.A. Klaar, Geo. Holl, Jas. Halloran.
Third Row: Fred Becker, Henry Schmoll, D.H. Stevens, Wm. Boland, Rube Mattison, W.A. Tischer (Chief), Phil Englebry.
The company also consisted of Lee Tischer, A.E. Beeckel, Wm. Showalter, A. Mattison, Clarence Holl and Albert Leidheiser, who were otherwise engaged at the time the pic was taken.
I wish this was a better picture because some of the fellas in the company were prominent Vermilionites. I’ve written about more than one of them at some time or another. And their names have come up in the Briefs section of the page more than once. It helps some to have an idea of what they looked like.
It was a cool find.
THE KANE FAMILY OF VERMILION: Five years ago – in January of 2012 – I received several of the photographs accompanying this essay pertaining to Vermilion’s Kane family from an Amherst native named Bill Brandon. He was kind enough to add the following commentary:
“…The Kane Family moved to Amherst Ohio from the Isle of Man in 1840. Edgar and Eugene were the first children born to William Kane. Edgar served in the Civil War and after the war he got a Job in a Grocery owned by Orange Leonard in Vermilion. Orange Leonard was the first son of Sophia Leonard and who later married Josiah Pelton and she became known as Sophia Pelton. Sarah Jones was living with Orange Leonard. Sarah was the daughter of Eliza Leonard who died. So Edgar met Sarah Jones in the Grocery and they married and built a house on the corner of Decatur and Lake road. (The house appeared in your publication as a "then and now photo" with the curved glass windows and porch.) Edgar also appeared with the Civil War veterans at F.W. Wakefield house. [Note: I’ve added both the picture of the Kane house and the Civil War veterans Bill refers to in his comments.]
This picture is of the front yard of Edgars house looking east towards Vermilion. Sarah Jones Kane ---granddaughter of Sophia Pelton is sitting with her son Robert Kane and Alice Kane and their seamstress in the middle smiling."
This is really a wonderful photograph. But if it were taken today these folks would be sitting in the middle of Liberty Avenue on the west side of town where the 4-lane highway begins. In any case Mr. Brandon went on to say that the lad lolling in the lawn...“Robert Kane…became treasurer of Wakefield Brass. His daughter was my grandma. Also his son Bill Kane – married Polly Line – Bill worked for a US Steel ore boat and later Lyman boats but he built a house on the Line property… Polly’s mother Nellie Line owned 40 acres and she sold the property to the Kyles for the Car Dealership… George Wakefield [a prominent Vermilionite and local historian] also built a house on the lake next to Bill Kane’s property…”
To be sure Bill’s commentary / genealogy is fairly intense, perhaps even extraneous reading for some. But for persons interested in the history of our community it has a good deal of value. Orange Leonard, for instance, was among Vermilion’s earliest prominent citizens and a real entrepreneur. He’d been a sailor, a grocer, and he owned a good deal of land. In fact he owned a good portion of the swampland that was years later magically transmuted into the beautiful Vermilion Lagoons housing subdivision. And Orange Leonard’s stepfather Josiah Pelton was uncle of a world famous inventor named Lester Pelton.
But getting back to the Kanes; In the October 21, 1915 edition of The Vermilion News the following article appeared: “ An interesting relic of by-gone days was presented to the NEWS office this week by ex-postmaster E.M. Kane. It is made of black walnut and consists of twenty-six pigeonholes one for each letter of the alphabet and stamps and card compartments and a place for miscellaneous papers. As is well remembered by the older generation, letters used to be sorted according to initial letters and when one called for his mail all letters beginning with A or B or whatever it might be was taken from the compartment by the Postmaster and sorted over. A box or basket served as a receptacle for papers and magazines of which there were few.
The case will remain at the NEWS office and be used for various clippings, etc. How long the (post) office has been in existence could not be ascertained. Mr. Kane served the people of Vermilion as Postmaster for a quarter of a century and he found it in use when he first entered the office. These days of individual boxes parcel post and rural routes were not dreamed of then, yet the office seemed well equipped at that time to handle all mail that came.”
To my knowledge no direct descendants of Vermilion’s Kane family still reside in the city. And while there are still folks about town who remember them about the only palpable thing left of their time here (aside from the house with curved windows) is the black walnut letter case Edgar Kane gave to the editor of The Vermilion News weekly. Today it hangs on the back wall of the print shop behind the old newspaper press. Were it not for the 1915 blip in the newspaper about it, it is likely that no one would have ever guessed its relationship to the old Vermilion Post Office, or Edgar Kane a very prominent member of one of the town’s most prominent families.
YESTERYEAR'S NEWS: The following clips were orally transcribed from past issues of The Vermilion News. I think you will find them both interesting and fun...
The first steps towards the organization the object of which will be the promotion of the Lake Shore boulevard highway, were taken last Wednesday night at a meeting of automobilists and of the Board Of Trades of Sandusky, Lorain, Vermilion, Berlin Heights, Huron and Sandusky, held at the West House.
There was enthusiasm on every hand, and if it keeps up, results are assured. Among the speakers were E. H. Rowe, secretary of the Lorain Board of Commerce, Mayor Williams, of Vermilion; Mayor Molter, Representative Winters, County Commissioners Rieger, and Riedy, City Treasurer Leitz, and several others.
Mr. Rowe outlined the project. He said that if the road is as be [sic] built a good roads organization of every county along the lake shore should combine and work for certain ends and at the same time do all they can towards building the road in their respective counties. The road, he said, would not be a new one but the Lake Shore Road would be improved and widened and at some places where necessary its course would be changed.
A committee, which was appointed, recommended that the Lake Shore Association be formed and its members include all boards of trades, auto clubs and all other organizations that favor good roads. It also recommended that a committee composed of Dr. C. H. Merz of Sandusky; A. R. Gilmer, Huron; F. W. Wakefield Vermilion; and F. S. Rathwell, Lorain, be appointed to perfect the organization of the Association. The report was acted upon favorably in every instance in this committee will start his work at once.
Those from Vermilion who were present at this meeting were; E. L. Coen, H. L. Minium, H. W. Church Mayor Williams, A. G. Lohmann, H. B. Kishman, F. W. Wakefield and C. W. Kishman.
Berlin Heights was represented by S. L. Hill, F. S. Fowler and G. W. Close.
Lorain was represented by Amos Steck, F. S. Rathwell, George B. Wickens, B. S. Smith, C. C. Washburn, E. H. Rowe, H. J. Ellen, W. Read and A. J. Leighton. The Lorain party started late and took dinner at the Maud-Elton hotel and the trip was then completed over the Lake road to Sandusky. The worst stretch of road was found to be between Lorain and Vermilion, the road west of Vermilion being in excellent condition.
At Ruggles it was found that the road ran so close to the lakefront as to occupy the ground exclusive of any residential portion. Here it will be recommended to move the Lakeshore electric tracks and the road about 300 feet to the south so that the lakefront would be available for residence property, which, it is estimated, would add to the inner urban population, thus working to the advantage of the railway and other business interests. Near Sandusky the road is very crooked and runs through a woody piece, and crosses the railroad tracks in the piece, and crosses the railroad tracks in a most dangerous manner. An endeavor will be made to correct this. The party enjoyed dinner at the West house at 6 o'clock at 7:30 o'clock, the Sandusky auto club held a special meeting for the crowd.
All of the representatives made the trip in Autos.
Glen Faulhaber, son of Lewis Faulhaber of Vermilion who has been for the past two months in the employ of the L. S. & M. S. Ry. Co, fell between the cars Sunday while working on the train and had one leg cut off and the other severely injured. But it is hoped it may be saved. He was otherwise bruised. He was taken at once to Providence Hospital and is doing as well as can be expected.
The accident occurred at Sandusky.
It is over, the long contemplated trip to the band tournament and reunion at Shelby, and all arrived safely at home happy.
The band and wives and sweethearts of the members accompanied by a number of left Vermilion Wednesday morning at 6:15, after being "shot" by Photographer Lewis and accompanied by a box of fine cigars, a present from H. J. Buster,. At Norwalk Albert Hart and a trombone player joined the crowd. After a pleasant trip the “special" arrived at Shelby at 8:30. Thousands of people had already gathered and a number of bands and others were arriving.
George H. Blanchet chartered a car and took a large crowd including the employees of Crystal Beach Park. This car arrived later, thus swelling the Vermilion delegation to over 100
The parade was formed it 10:30 a.m. there being some 23 bands announced in the program and although we did not count them there appeared to be fully that number.
At the close of the parade the bands were formed in one huge band, all instruments of a kind being together, there must have been some 400, the leader mounted on an auto and the great band marched along the main street playing Medinah Temple,"[sic] the march of the day. It was a sight never to be forgotten.
After dinner, which most of the Vermilionites ate at the U.B. church, and which by the way was excellent, the bands met at the town hall and the prizes were awarded. Here is where Vermilion received her just due: there were 12 prizes up and our band carried away five. It is also reported that the prize for the best appearance would have been ours but the judges also took into consideration to pair of tan shoes. [???] However no one feels badly about this, we had our share. These are the prizes.
The band owning the largest number of King instruments. – King trombone, Valued at $63, donated by H.N. White, Cleveland. Our band had nine instruments.
The largest band in the parade $10 worth of music, donated by Joseph W. Stearns, New York. We had 30 men in line.
To the band having largest number of slide trombones, 6 bottles of slide oil, donated by Frank Holland, Chicago. We had 5.
The band having the largest number of reed instruments, 1 set operatic band books, by Rudolf Wurlitzer Company, Cincinnati. We had a 6 in line.
There was also a booby prize up for the band, which received no prize. As several bands were in this list, cuts were drawn. Of course we didn't get this prize.
After supper the band gave a concert for about an hour and at 9:15 left for Vermilion a very happy and tired crowd. Arrived home at about 11:15. The crowd was well entertained by the Shelby people. There were a number of band stands and the different bands gave concerts both day and evening. There were picture shows and nearly every form of amusement. One feature of the parade we must mention was the old band men in autos which started in the Shelby band in the Fifties.
Vermilion failed to land the next convention by three votes, Crestline winning.

BACK IN 1886: We are fortunate to have a few of his photographs at the museum. It is said that there were a whole bunch more. But apparently they were lost.
Caselton (my great-grandfather) as you will discover over the ensuing weeks was a musician / fifer in the Union Army during the American Civil War in Company K, 67th Regiment of the OVI. As you will also discover everyone (and I mean everyone) had it tough during that war.
One of the things I found exceptionally interesting while reading his diary is his humanness view of the experience. He was neither a hero nor an enemy of the Republic. But the range of his emotions – his views of the conflict – may be an eye-opener for persons who’ve never had the unfortunate experience of war.
Anyway, in his words…
THE ARMY LIFE OF CASELTON ROSCOE PT.3:
…I still have my cough, but have stood the marching as well as any of them. We have to play the fife all the time on marching, if not we will be put in hand-cuffs [sic].
June 24, 1862. Before we left Winchester we had an awful battle. General Banks had left Winchester, and has opened fire on us two miles from town, beginning at 2 o’clock in the afternoon and continued until dark. Our General Shields had his left arm broken. This was the most terrible sight I ever saw. Regiment after Regiment charged up all the time, yelling and hollowing amid awful roar of cannons and muskety [sic]. It was at this time one of our home boys fell, Henry Gibbs. He was shot thorough the left lower jaw, passing clear through, cutting his tongue, and when I found him had been carried and layed [sic] in an old brick building, alone in a corner, on a little hay with only a bit of oilcloth thrown over him. I tried to make him as comfortable as I could, then I had to go and help others, as I had to go back of the firing line and help the nurses carry in the wounded.
July 14, 1862. Were on steamer and was shipwrecked and lost our clothes. This wreck was on the Chesapeake Bay.
July 22, 1862. Harrison Landing. We are on the James River. I am not feeling very good. I still have my old trouble dysentery, and chills and fever which makes me feel rather down-hearted at times.
Major general Keys of Regiment A inspected our Regiment and said such a dirty, nasty set he never saw. This because our officers do not try to get us clothes.
It’s a shame and disgrace to the State of Ohio the way they treat us. do not let my brothers Ransom and Chauncy enlist. As soon as you enlist you are worse than the poorest niger [sic]. I have not got anything in the line of clothes. What I have, I have to go naked to wash and dry them to wear. Mine all lay in the bottom of the Chesapeak [sic] Bay.
Sept. 6, 1862. We are at Suffolk, Va., and still have my truble which comes from filthy surroundings, but I try to do my duty, and…
…and arrived in the vicinity of the rebel forces, in a new and different country, and where, on March 23, 1862, they engaged in the battle of Winchester, coming in contact with that most remarkable rebel soldier "Stonewall" Jackson. General Lander was succeeded by General Shields. General Banks occupied Winchester upon Jackson's retirement. The tactics displayed by this noted rebel commander will, probably, never be thoroughly understood. His movements were rapid and were believed to be a retreat, but it has been argued that it was simply a subterfuge, which, had the co operating force expected by him been successful, the field of Winchester would have been strewn with Union dead and wounded and our national capital have fallen into the hands of the rebels. But "there is many a slip"; the movement failed of accomplishment. Winchester was fought and the Seventh took an active and honorable part, losing fourteen killed, fifty-one wounded, and several prisoners taken. Among the losses here were several of Company E.
Following Winchester we find the Seventh regiment next engaged at Port Republic, on the 9th of June. Prior to that the men endured the hardships of a march of one Hundred and thirty-two miles, from New Market to Fredericksburg, which was accomplished in nine days; and thus Shields's force was joined to McDowell's. On the morning of May 13 the army was reviewed by President Lincoln and other government officials. Especially did the president desire to see the division that had put to flight the great Jackson, therefore Shields's command, the Seventh among them, was ordered out—for inspection.
When Shields withdrew with his forces from the Shenandoah valley, Jackson with a strong command immediately occupied it, and commenced a rapid, vigorous movement toward the nation's capital. This movement necessitated a change of plan on the part of the Union forces, and the project to attack Richmond was for the time abandoned, and the army concentrated and sent to head off the notorious rebel leader. Jackson, becoming aware of this, and not easily entrapped, made a retreat up the valley, closely followed by Fremont's command. The third and fourth divisions of Shields's brigade had, by this time, reached a point opposite Port Republic. At five o'clock in the morning this battle commenced, the Seventh and the Fifth Ohio having the heaviest of the fight. Says Reid, "These two regiments fought splendidly and effectively. General Tyler, seeing the terrible odds against him, and the extent of the enemy's lines, determined to handle his inadequate force with extreme caution, and met the wily Stonewall with his own favorite tactics of strategy and cunning. Taking advantage of a wheat field near the enemy's center, he extended his lines from hill to river, and double-quicked the Fifth and Seventh from point to point along the line, under cover of some standing wheat, halting at intermediate points to deliver a galling fire. This was kept up for five long hours, and, with less than three thousand muskets, the National forces repelled Jackson, with fourteen thousand veteran rebel troops."
HELMET FROM: The War to end all wars. At the museum this soldier wears a tunic and helmet – relics of the First Great War. The helmet belonged to my father who served with the Yankee Division in France.
Behind him is a pic of dad speaking at an American Legion activity of some sort. He was a charter member of the Vermilion Legion chapter. His discharge certificate is on the wall next to his pic.
The caps on the soldier’s shoulders are Legion caps. And around the soldier’s neck are my father’s dog tags.
This is a beautiful display.
A noted psychiatrist was a guest at an opera lover's banquet, and his hostess naturally broached the subject in which the doctor was most at ease. "Would you mind telling me, Doctor," she asked, "how you detect a mental deficiency in somebody who appears completely normal?"
"Nothing is easier," he replied. "You ask him a simple question which everyone should answer with no trouble. If he hesitates, that puts you on the track."
"What sort of question?" "Well, you might ask him, 'Captain Cook made three trips around the world and died during one of them. Which one?'
The woman thought a moment, then said with a nervous laugh, "You wouldn't happen to have another example, would you? I must confess I don't know much about history."

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, "Grandma's Favorites: A Compilation of Recipes from MARGARET SANDERS BUELL by Amy O'Neal, ELIZABETH THOMPSON and MEG WALTER (May 2, 2012).
