Sharon


There was time in the long,
long ago when the village of
Sharon, three miles west Of Cald-
well, gave promise of becoming
the leading town in the new
county of Noble. That was some
years prior to the Civil War in
the 1860's.
During that war, the "Hoskins-
vile Rebellion" broke out and a
company of Union veterans was
quartered in the village until
hostilities came to a close.
At about the same time, the
Sharon college was established
by Randall Ross and successfully
conducted during several years
following. AS a business center,
the village prospered until it
was headed off by Caldwell be-
coming the county seat.
Immediately following the
close of the war the building of
the Marietta and Cleveland rail
road was commenced by Gen,
A. J. Warner, of Marietta, and
the survey included Sharon as
one of the important points along
the line. Some grading had been
done just east of the village, and
the marks of the same can prob
ably be seen to this day. But
Gen. Warner changed his plans
and the line was changed to in
clude Caldwell and from here
on to Cambridge. The railway
is now part of the Penn
sylvania System.
In the village of Sharon in
the early days business places
were conducted by Hiram Good
rich, General store; DR.. Neptune,
physician; Fred Yerian, druggist;
James Steen, general store; Will
liam Kirk, copper; Calvin Nc
Glashan, harness maker; John
Yerian, gunsmith; John Ed Mar
quis, hotel proprietor; William
Jones, shoemaker; James Gill

There were two churches

lodges. Had it not been for locat-

there is no question but that
Sharon would be today the lead.

Brings Results

The following interesting letter was re-
ceived by William Forshey, of Sarahsville,
in response to CARE package which he
had sent to needy persons in Europe 1t was
written in German and translated by Sister
NJ. Aloysia, principal of the Fulda schools
The translation on the packing slip ac-
companying the package told the happy
recipients of the package that the food was
donated by the U.S.A. government, the Ger
man government paid for the transportation
across the ocean and in Germany while the
Noble county donor paid for the work con-
nected with preparing the package and
getting it on its way.

itself, is as follows:

contract for the schools was
renewed and spilled over to
other forms of competitive bid
ding.
Awarding of contracts for

protested against the award
ing of a 1886, 900 milk contract
to Chestnut Farms Dairy last
week.
Protests Prompt Contract
Mrs. Corelli David, school
lunch supervisor, told the board
she rejected all the milk bids.
then made the bids public. A
protest against her action by
Chestnut Farms led to the
firms winning the contract.
AS in the case of the milk
bids, the bread and ice cream
bids were not advertised pub
licly nor processed through
the boards purchasing divi-
sion.
William F. Carl of Martins
Dairy told the board it was
