Delaware County Ohio News Items

That were found in newspapers outside of Delaware county

1828 thru 1899

What was important enough to make the news about Delaware County, its people, or its places in newspapers elsewhere? Sometimes it was just a mention in a gossip column, but this could lead you to other family members that you, as a genealogist, have been searching to find. You may find information about when a business or a building was started. You may realize how our ancestors lived & how they played pre-1900.

 You will notice how much the railroad played a part in our history and how dangerous trains were back then. You may be surprised at the amount of money that was donated to Ohio Wesleyan University in the late 1800’s. It’s simply a way of taking a glimpse into the past and I hope you will come away, as I did, with a clearer image of the 19^th century living in Delaware County.
