She was told of the brick house
at the south end of the Park;
the brick house built by Eleazer
Hickox, son-in-law of Thomas
Umberfield, Geauga's first set
tier.
Mrs. Baumgartner writes:
Here the matter rested for
several weeks until Mr.. Ralph
Ford was in Washington in jan
uary of 1871. Then Mrs. Boil
ton assured him of her contin-
ued interest and after more cor
respondence, an option was TAX
en- out on this property. Col.
VIM. Holsinger from Mrs. Boil
toms office came out to look it
over. Some folks may remem-
ber Col. Holsinger as a member
of the S.A.R. who came to Bur
ton some years ago to help in
the dedication of the monument
placed in the park in memory
of Joseph Badger. Col. Holsing-
er was enthusiastic over the
house, the view and collection
of historical articles.
"About this time there was
considerable thinking pertaining
to the architectural problem and
Dana Clark was consulted as he
already was an architect with
the firm of Walker and Weeks.
That Spring of 1941 was a busy
one for Congress and Mrs. Boil
ton was unable to visit this place
at that time. The purchase was
completed on the trustees reco-
mendation and that of Col. Hol-
singer. On July 5th, Mrs. Boil
ton presented a check for ten
thousand dollars for the pur-
chase of the property and it's
restoration, but stipulated that
the large modern porch should
be removed.
In view of the extra expense
entailed by tilis change, she lat
er made a second gift of five
thousand dollars. Dana Clark

VIII Sell Apple Butter
and Homemade Foods

Saturday and Sunday of next
week will be the third annual
"Open House" for the Geauga
County Historical Museum. The
public is invited to the "Open
House."
According to a news release
by Mrs. Emma Baumgartner, of
Russell, the apple butter will
again be made out in the open
in those big cooper kettles, with
its fine aroma of sweet spices
filling the cooling air with its
delightful odor.
Besides the selling of apple
butter, apples and apple cider
there will also be a grand selec-
ton of home cooked goodies,
jellies, and canned foods, pop
corn balls, homemade candies,
various herbs and potted plants,
catnip bags for kittens, and vege-
tables.
There will also be a woman
on hand to show the art of weav-
ing strips of material for the
hand woven rugs on the old
fashioned loom. Something like
a white elephant sale, there will
be a table of odds and ends, and
a table of antiques.
Mrs. Baumgartner, in her
story of the museum, recalls how
the present Historical Society
was formed July 4th, 1888 and
through the efforts of President
B. Shanower, a collection of
items of historical interest was
started in the "Old School
House" in Burton.
About two years later, Mrs.
Frances P. Bolton saw this col
lection and was much impressed
with it's value. In the Fall of
that year, 1910, Mrs. C. B. Fox
had written Mrs. Bolton asking
her if she would be interested
in providing a home for the Ge-
auga County Historical Museum.
Mrs. Bolton asked if there was
a suitable property available.

and had offered to draw plans,
and do all he could to follow
the work of the contractor. He
offered to help in every way
possible without charge.
"He had already drawn the
plans including the porch but
was most pleased over the
change and work of remodeling
started almost at once, and the
new plans were made and SUBJ
mitted to Mrs. Bolton and Col.
Holsinger for approval.
"Mr. Shanower, Mrs. Florence
Presley (since decease0 and Mrs.
G. B. Fox as chairman, consid-
cred it a privilege of the oppor-
tunity of working with Dana
Clark who was so vitality inter-
eSted in this restoration.
"EleaZer Hickox, whose wife
was Stella Umberfield, built the
brick house that is now the mu-
scum. His brother, Uri, built
the large frame house that
stands on the southwest corner
of Rts. A and 81. Urls son,
Cutler, lived most of his life
there, had two daughters and a
son. One daughter, DeEtte, mar
ried Mr.. Clark, a teacher in the
Cleveland schools, and they had
one son, Dana.
Naturally Dana spent many
vacations in Geauga County and
developed love of the country
side, and appreciation of it's
beauty and architecture.
Now he brought to this work
of restoration, not only his train
ing and experience, but also a
feeling that was right and fit
ting. Every weekend he spent
going over the work of the past
week. Dana planned on adding
another room to the South, but
the finances were not equal to
that plan.
Folks who have visited the
Museum recall the feeling of
rest, the atmosphere of peace,
that is its greatest asset. The
custodian, Mrs. Ina Taylor, tells
of an elderly man who asked
the privilege of sitting by her
open fire one day. He spent
some time there and leaving,
said that she could not know
how much it meant to him. He
had gathered some of the peace
that was restored in the Old
House in this Western Reserve
settlement.
Dana Clark made that gift
more desirable and more fitting.
Not only did Dana Clark refuse
any remuneration for his SER
vice, he was reluctant about
listening to expressions of graf
itude and accepted the life mem
bership that was presented him
with much hesitation.
Mrs. Bolton gave to Geauga
County a wonderful gift that
will be more appreciated with
the passing of time" adds Mrs.
Baumgartner.
Two years ago, Mrs. E. Der
thick of Russell Township and
Mrs. Ralph Ford of Burton, or
ganized group of interested
women to form an Auxiliary to
the Historical Museum to help
raise money to meet the neces-
sary improvements and help de-
keeping the museum open to
the public.
This Auxiliary meets at vari-
Gus times during the year and
decided to annually hold "Open
House" the second Saturday and
Sunday in October.
From the proceeds gained
from the previous sales, the car
riage barn foundation was rails
ed and repaired, floor newly ce-
mented, new stairs built with
good hand rails on both sides,
the barn roof also was repaired.

How Come, Comrades?

Several Russian diplomats and their families
have set out for home aboard the liner America
without large part of the baggage they had
planned to sail with. The baggage-whch some
capitalistic longshoremen refused to handle
has been put in New York warehouse at the
request of the Soviet Embassy It consists of
seventeen big crates filled with television sets,
washing machines, refrigerators and similar hall
marks of our decadent, bourgeois imperialistic,
warmongering, worker-enslaved Nation-a Nation
which the Moscow propagandists depict as a
place where nothing is manufactured except
guns and chewing gum. and where millions and
millions of people are unemployed and down.
trodden and barely managing to exist while few
bloated billionaires get richer and richer
How come, comrades? How come those
diplomats wanted to sail away with that kind of
baggage? Isn't the Soviet Utopia supposed to
be the land of peace and plenty, the land where
there is no rearmament and where production is
concentrated on the task of increasing the hap
piness, comfort and living standards of every
body? Why therefore should Russian have to
buy television set in America? Or a washing
machine? Or refrigerator? Isn't there an
abundance of such things in the stores of Moscow,
or Minsk, Pinsk, Omsk, Tomsk and Bomsk?
A word Of explanation, please. What's the mean
ing of this luggage incident?
Yes, indeed comrades, how come? Anything
to say, Pravda? Got an answer, Izyestia? A

The food question Is vital one and
calls for the skill of our best economic

which is paramount. In America, there
