Vermilion Ohio, A Good Place to Live
SHOPTALK: (THEN) The pic on my home desk this week is a hand-tinted postcard pic of a romanticized Vermilion Lighthouse. It’s actually kind of creepy. I think someone added the shadowy characters standing at the end of the breakwall. They look like zombies.
Actually this was a card advertising the “nearby” Ruggles Beach resort. I don’t believe I have this card in our collection – just the pic. But it is very unusual.
(& THEN AGAIN): This pic is a bit later than the postcard photo. It’s not of great quality, but it is, nonetheless, interesting. It was acquired on glass by my grandfather capturing a crowd of observers on the breakwall watching a sailboat race on the lake.
This was a time when crowds were able to walk out on the breakwall(s) to spectate, sit or just fish. For a time people were not allowed access to the area because the property leading to it was private. But today it is (to my knowledge) open again to the public.
Sometimes when I look at this pic I chuckle. That’s because it reminds me of an episode of Seinfeld where George is describing his rather Quixotic rescue of a whale in the ocean. He begins his story by saying, “The sea was angry that day my friends – like an old man trying to send back soup at a deli…”
Well, at least the folks on the breakwall don’t look like zombies.
3 TRINTERS: The three Trinter boys stopped by the museum on Friday: Tom (John), Tim and Dan. They brought with them a very nice photograph of the Trinter-Unser grocery wagon in front of the Trinter-Unser General Store that once occupied the southwest corner of Liberty and Division / Main streets. (Charlie Trinter is in the pic.)
Their grandfather was Albert Trinter. Their great-grandfather was Adam Trinter who was, more or less the Trinter family patriarch. My favorite Vermilion guy from the past was also one of Adam’s sons – Charles A. Trinter.
Tom also had a wooden key dated 1930. It was given Tom’s father-in-law, a Linwood resident, by the Mayor of Vermilion (likely H.R. “Squire” Williams). It was the key to the city / village for all his contributions to the community.
The guys had a look around, adding some stories to our story chest before leaving. We were glad they visited. Their ties go back a long way in Vermilion’s history.
Hmmm....
Historically,
A.D. BAUMHART: One, just one, of Vermilion’s very remarkable citizens of a yesteryear. He was born 8 August in 1873 and died on the 17th of December in 1961. He was a son of Augustus and Margaret Claus Baumhart.
He married to Effie C. Washburn in 1906. Together they had two boys: Albert David Jr. and Charles Wheeler. Effie died during the great flue pandemic of 1918. In 1921 A.D. married Frances Bullock (1895-1966).
This photo was taken when Baumhart was around five years of age. He grew up to be one of the town’s most successful businesspersons. He was a pharmacist; he helped start a telephone company for the town; a theatre; and a noted and beloved maker of ice cream.
His eldest son (also A.D. but known as Dave) eventually secured an office in the U.S. Congress representing the 13th District in Ohio.
Son Charles was the last Mayor of Vermilion Village and was among the most intelligent persons in the little town of Vermilion.
This is a unique photograph of one of Vermilion’s and Ohio’s pioneer businessmen and political powers.
THE MASTER OF RUMSEY PARK: ”When the flag is flowing on the staff you'll find me at home, so do not pass; when the flag is gone and the staff is bare, don't try the door—I am not there.” -Albert R. Rumsey.
Following conversations with local Vermilionites Diane and Dave Rathbun several weeks ago I got to thinking about their childhood home across from the big house (pictured) on Lake Road at Rumsey Park several miles west of town. Near the time or just after Mr. Rumsey’s death their mother’s (Dorothy) father, Henry Hain, purchased the Park. Mr. Hain was the superintendent of the Sherwin-Williams Paint Company in Cleveland. After his purchase he built three homes just across the road (on the lake) for his children. It was, to say the very least, an extremely interesting place for the rambunctious Rathbun children to grow-up. What follows is a reiteration (VPJ 09/01/2011) of the story behind the property and the fellow who once served as its master:
On Tuesday, March 29, 1921 a headline on the front-page of the Sandusky (Ohio) Register boldly declared that “Al Rumsey' [sic] Two Fisted Fighting Man Of Old Marine Days Is Dead; Picturesque Character Befriended Many; His Body To Be Cremated”. It was a fitting title for a eulogy that would never be given for a funeral that would never be held. For Rumsey had made arrangements several years before his death calling for “…the cremation of the body without preliminary services and in the presence only of the undertaker”. And so – at the tender age of 73 (he would have been 74 in another month had his heart not failed him) the Master of Rumsey Park was gone.
Rumsey Park, for the benefit of those unfamiliar with the area, is located on the south side of West Lake Road (Rt. #6) a little over three miles west of Vermilion. Though the property has long since been sold, resold, divided, and re-divided, the house where Mr. Rumsey made his home (pictured) still stands, as does a large barn that was later renovated and currently serves as a private residence. But when Mr. Rumsey owned the property he once boasted, “There are seventeen buildings on this farm and you can get a cooked meal in anyone of them any hour of the twenty-four.” So, in short, Al Rumsey’s Park was once a substantial chunk of real estate.
Some folks may not know it but Albert R. “Al” Rumsey was a Vermilion boy. He was the oldest child born (c.1847) into the Vermilion Township farming family of Russel and Rebecca Rumsey. He is described in one newspaper report as a “big man” with a “dominating personality…two-fisted…whenever the occasion demanded”. Initially, it is said that he worked as a policeman in Cleveland. Then he worked as the proprietor of a gymnasium / spa also in Cleveland where he purportedly trained fighters such as Jack Dempsey and John L. Sullivan. From there he went to work on the Lakes eventually holding master’s papers. He finally went to work for the predecessors of the Lake Carriers Association rising to the position of Commissioner of that organization when it was officially formed in 1892. It was a position he would hold until his death. As occupations go it was a perfect fit. Rumsey was smart, tough, personable, and compassionate.
At about the same time he assumed his first position with the lake carriers (c.1881) Rumsey purchased the property he called “Rumsey Park”. And for the next four decades he split his time between Cleveland and Vermilion. Enlisting the help of a sister he began to fashion the Vermilion property into one of the most desirable estates on the southern shores of Lake Erie. He surrounded himself with animals of the woodlands he knew as a child. He had bears (see bear cage photo), foxes, wolves, as well as numerous other animals. He also kept a large kennel of bulldogs. And one year when his favorite died, he had a casket made, and buried the pet, erecting a marble monument over the grave inscribed with the words, “Truest Friend”.
Aside from prominent personalities, such as the actors, boxers, wrestlers, and jockeys, who frequented his home there were also numerous unknowns. Among them were sailors whose fortunes had dimmed; those who didn’t necessarily want a handout – but a hand-up. As one reporter put it: “It was in lifting the little troubles that come to one in life that Rumsey was a master hand. It was his willingness at all times and under all circumstances to help someone overcome little difficulties that made him a favorite with all who knew him.” And so it is that the Master of Rumsey Park of a yesteryear is gone. But he is hardly forgotten.
YESTERYEAR'S NEWS: The following clips are dictated transcriptions from past issues of The Vermilion News. I think you will find them both interesting and fun...
A special from Portland, Ore. to the Cleveland plain dealer says:
The common housefly against which a nationwide warfare is being carried on because of his known qualities as a source of infection by typhoid fever and other malignant diseases, is becoming rare in Portland and the cause of his disappearance is due to an unexpected cause.
Miles of the Portland streets outside of the hard surface paving area have been sprinkled with crude oil this season to keep down the dust. This, it seems has answered double purpose, for it has sealed the doom of myriads of flies and mosquitoes.
About 180 miles of city streets throughout the residence district have been treated with crude oil this season. The old type of ladder water wagon has been relegated for streets that are oiled do not need sprinkling with water, and one oiling is usually good for the whole season.
The crude oil is said to contain a small amount of carbolic acid and this, it is believed, is bringing about the destruction of the flies and mosquitoes. Crude oil is said to be one of the best germicides known, and although it was not put on the streets for the purpose of wiping out the fly pest, it has accomplished this to a remarkable degree and the residents of the city are jubilant over the result.
Oiling of streets to lay the dust with will, in all probability, be done on a more extensive scale next year, the experiment this season having shown the sanitary value of the practice as well as the effectually doing away with the dust nuisance.

Helen Catherine Carr, born February 6, 1902 died from valvular heart trouble, July 22, 1910, age 8 years five months and 16 days.
Little Helen was the third daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Carr of Vermilion. She was never a very strong child and for the past two years had been an invalid. Three weeks ago she was taken seriously ill and a trained nurse has been in constant attendance and every care that love could suggest was hers. She grew steadily worse and realized that she was going. She was a member of the Sunday school of the church of Christ and had asked Charles Hofrichter to sing "I Want To Be A Sunbeam" at her funeral. Her wish was granted. Miss Emma Wooden of Wakeman, sang one of her favorite pieces also. The funeral was held from the home Sunday afternoon. Dr. R. C. Swisher of the Congregational church assisted by Charles Hofrichter of Cleveland officiating, and the remains were to rest at Maple Grove Cemetery. Besides her father and mother, she leaves two sisters and one brother to morn their loss. The sympathy of all is extended to the family in their bereavement.
F. S. Knox and Q. R. Lane of Columbus, heads of the Oak point syndicate, in which $600,000 is invested in which tract contains 3000 acres, were in town Saturday and called on George Holstein who is in charge of the land, as well as Postmaster Baker.
Knox when questioned as to the truth of rumors which have been all afloat here for almost 2 months due to the effect that 22 farms could be purchased by the original owners, denied the report, but said that the tract as a whole was for sale.
The main purpose of Knox and his attorney, visiting Amherst, Saturday, was for the purpose of granting the Amherst Water Works company, a right-of-way through the tract for its main from the lake. This was cheerfully granted without compensation, on condition that the concern or the farm tenants might obtain water at the regular rate.

Now that one of our citizens has taken up the Library question let us hear from some of the others. Vermilion has need of a good library and the only question and the most difficult one connected with the affair is how to support the library without burdening a few. Of course there is an opportunity of securing funds by the small levy allowed by law. Let each one who is in who is interested in having a library in Vermilion appoint himself a committee of one to ascertain how other towns support their libraries and report at a meeting which we suggested will be held early in the fall in some public place.
In the meantime do a little thinking anyone who has anything to say, for or against having a library here, or who has any suggestions to make public is invited to use the columns of the NEWS.

It is easy just criticize newspapers. Without doubt they are sometimes vulnerable in character and often unable to live up to their standards not to speak of the millennial standards of their critics. The filtering of the world's deeds from day-to-day, and the faultless publication of them, is a task for omniscience. The newspapers are not a omniscience. But they are mostly honest in their efforts to report contemporary life faithfully and their character and efficiency are steadily growing better.
A New York minister sees the journalistic drift and puts it clearly. The Rev. D. G. Wiley of the Scotch Presbyterian Church said recently in a sermon:
"There has been a wonderful development of the press in recent times. We realize that there is a bad press and a good press, but the press of the present hour is a mighty influence for good. It distributes intelligence, carries the words of teachers, lecturers, preachers into thousands of homes and brings the ends of the earth together. It is a fact that there is much printed that should be suppressed, but in spite of this depressive New York is on the side of justice, honesty, righteousness, truth, temperance and religion. As Christians we may well be proud of the newspapers of the city. Many able editors are preaching powerful sermons. The press is a great detective agency a terror to evildoers and makes culprits, big and little, tremble. The press is a powerful ally of Christianity and is assisting the church in building up the kingdom of God in New York."
This is doubtless true, in general of the New York press, and truer still of the press of the rest of the country. The newspapers of Cleveland and sister cities, and the rural publications throughout the United States will not fall short of the reverend doctor’s characterization. – Plain dealer

His injuries were dressed at St. Clair Hospital and he was taken home. The crew of the wrecked car say the gates had just been raised after the passing of an engine.
As many power boats are now owned at Vermilion, the organization of ae club is under consideration although it has not fully developed.
[NOTE: This looks like the first public mention of an idea that would materialize as the Vermilion Boat Club.]
For a number of years Vermilion has been a popular resort for boating. Very few accidents have occurred until this year and of these the canoe has the majority of drownings laid to its door.
The demand has been for canoes and boat houses each have several which are rented along with other boats. At first with a single exception of Mr. Willoughby no fatal accident occurred, but this year three have been drowned by canoes capsizing. Canoeing seems to be a dangerous pastime and an effort should be made to abolish it here. These cases of drownings will be enlarged upon and made much of by some - and tend to give Vermilion a black eye if it continues. So the best way is to abolish it altogether.
[NOTE: A nice thought but a useless one. Liability would eventually assuage the problem. But not completely.]
Mrs. Adelia A. Field Johnston, one of the prominent figures of the life of Oberlin, both college and village, died at her home Friday evening at the age of 73.
For 30 years head of the women's department of Oberlin College. Mrs. Johnston was one of the pioneers of coeducation, having outstayed in the harness her fellows of earlier years. In these 30 years she came in contact with thousands of girls from all parts of the United States. She was known among the students as "Madam. J."
Since 1900, when she resigned the deanship, Mrs. Johnston has been active in the village improvement society. She inaugurated waste paper baskets for the streets and through her efforts; pictures of the most noted cathedrals and castles of Europe were placed in the waiting rooms of the depot, to relieve the sordid ugliness of the average railroad station.
Everyone wears a smiling face since the rain.

THE ARROW: Some will note that this ad from 1880 appeared here last week. I intended to include an explanation as to the reason for the arrow at the bottom – so…
John King’s grocery was apparently located in Exchange Place, which eventually morphed into Exchange Park in beautiful downtown Vermilion O.
There is at least one pic of the “Place” in the yesteryear that has appeared in “Views” in the past. But I was never able to say specifically what or who occupied all the buildings with any surety. Nor can I do it now. However, things like this advertisement help provide us with some info pertaining to the subject.
Now one can say that there was a grocery, along with Dr. Bond’s pharmacy / office, Elijah Dewitt’s jewelry store, and thesheriff’s office / jail. But precisely which was which remains somewhat of a mystery (for now).
…The regiment next participated in the Atlanta campaign, and was engaged at Rocky Face Ridge, May 5-9, 1864; at Adairsville, May 17, 18; at New Hope Church, May 28; at Kenesaw Mountain, from June 9 to 30, losing ten in killed and wounded; at Big Shanty, on June 28; at Peach Tree Creek, with a loss of four killed, one wounded and one missing. During the siege of Atlanta the regiment was also engaged. It participated in the flanking movement to Jonesboro, and from there advanced to Lovejoy. After the rebels evacuated Atlanta the regiment returned to that place and went into camp. Three weeks later it joined in pursuit of Hood. It marched to Mission Ridge, and thence, by rail, went to Alpine, Ga. After four days of rest it again moved to Chattanooga, and did guard duty along a line of railroad near the Tennessee River. On November 29 it participated in the battle at Springfield, losing forty-one in killed, wounded, captured and missing. Again, on the 30th, at Franklin, it was engaged with a loss of forty-two men.
On the 3d of October the non-veterans were discharged and sent home. This left the Sixty-fifth with only one hundred and thirty available men. The last battle of the regiment was fought at Nashville, Tenn., on the 15th and 16th of December, 1864, and after following the defeated rebels for some time, returned to the city and went into camp.
In June, 1865, the regiment moved from Nashville to Johnsonville, where it embarked on transports for New Orleans. It remained here for several weeks, and was then ordered to Texas, where it performed garrison duty at San Antonio until December, 1865, when it was ordered to Camp Chase, O., and was mustered out, paid and discharged, on the 2d day of January, 1866.

YE OLDEN BOOK: I really don’t know anything about this book or the inserts – just that it’s very old. It was the inscription that really caught my attention – the “Chas. M. Paul – Sandusky – 217 Meigs St – April 9, 1899”.
As near as I can tell there really is no 217 Meigs St anymore. The numbers have changed. But there is a small one family home on the site. It’s very near the Maritime Museum in Sandusky.
Actually I found that Mr. Paul was a Sandusky boat builder born about 1852. In 1910 he was living at 214 Meigs Street. He died in 1936.
I’ve no idea where this book came from.
The young man from Mississippi came running into the store and said to his buddy, "Bubba, somebody just stole your pickup truck from the parking lot!"
Bubba replied, "Did you see who it was?"
The young man answered, "I couldn't tell, but I got the license plate number!"
"That's no help," Bubba replied, "I'm using the license plate I stole off the mayor's truck to cut down on the speeding tickets."
