OHIO STATE ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL

SOCIETY ANNUAL REPORTS

 

Due to the fact that the annual meetings of the various Ohio

educational conferences, usually held the first week in April,

and the meetings of the Columbus Genealogical Society and the

Committee on Medical History and Archives were not held this

year, the annual History Conference was cancelled for 1943 and

arrangements were made only for the annual business meeting

of the Society, scheduled for Friday forenoon, April 30, 1943.

Due to the small attendance, however, chargeable largely to war

conditions, the President of the Society declared the annual meet-

ing postponed, with the understanding that the reports of the

Director, Secretary and Treasurer be published as usual in the

July-September issue of the QUARTERLY. The October-December,

1943, issue of the QUARTERLY will contain the historical papers

which were prepared for the meeting of the Committee on Medical

History and Archives.

 

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR

It may be taken for granted that members read the publications of

The Ohio State Archaeological and Historical Society as well as their

local and state newspapers. In the former, the membership is kept in-

formed as to the detailed activities of the Society, while the press, par-

ticularly that of Columbus, has been especially cooperative in carrying

items of a more general nature. I feel certain that the members have been

impressed by the accomplishments of the Society during the past twelve

months, and that there is general recognition of the place which the or-

ganization holds in the esteem of the people of Ohio.

Following precedent, no attempt will be made in this brief report

to review activities in detail. Such details are a part of the Society's

records--in the reports of the Director, of the Secretary-Librarian and

in the departmental reports of the various curators.

At last year's annual meeting, the Director discussed, at some length,

the manner in which the Society planned to meet the impact of war. This

plan was and is, in a word, continuance of the services authorized by the

Constitution and, in addition, fullest cooperation with Federal, State and

local authorities in the interest of winning the war. That we are in a

very true sense serving as an arm of our State government is evidenced

by a recent letter of appreciation from the Governor of Ohio to the

President of the Society. That we continue to be a cultural center for

the Commonwealth is evidenced by the gratifying number of visitors to

the Museum and Library.

The following are a few of the more important activities for the past

year:

It is logical, perhaps, to begin with the Museum and Library build-

ing and its upkeep. Starling Eaton, Superintendent of Maintenance, in ad-

dition to his multiple routine duties, has had charge of the mailing and

shipping of publications, loan collections, etc.; he has kept an inventory

of the Society's publications, which number 100,000 as of date; he has

arranged for the training of Air Raid wardens for the 15th and 16th

wards; he is an executive officer for Civilian Defense, and has taken a

total of 85 hours special courses of training in air raid and other war

emergency work.

In the Department of Archaeology, Richard G. Morgan, Curator,

carried out field surveys and investigations of a new prehistoric culture

in Ohio; conducted routine duties and laboratory work, and has just com-

pleted a pretentious exhibit, The Family Tree of Man.

In the Department of History, Dr. William D. Overman, in addition

to his routine duties as Curator, served as the administrative officer for

the Ohio War History Commission. Since Dr. Overman's resignation*

Dr. Francis P. Weisenburger, of Ohio State University, vice-chairman of

the Commission, in cooperation with the Director and with Mrs. Ruth

J. Fischer, secretary, has conducted the work of the commission in a most

satisfactory manner.

In the Department of Natural History, Edward S. Thomas, Curator,

has had a busy and productive year in collecting, cataloguing and dis-

playing specimens. He has made numerous addresses and has contributed

many articles for publications helpful to the Society.

In the Division of State Memorials, E. C. Zepp and his assistant, J.

Richard Lawwill, have left nothing undone to maintain the high degree of

development and service in the 44 State Memorials in custody of the So-

ciety. While attendance in these areas has decreased definitely as a result

of the war, the problem of maintaining them in good condition has not

been reduced. Shortage of help is a problem which is difficult to solve.

Turning now to activities of a more general nature, it may be men-

tioned that the Society's Educational Service has enjoyed its busiest year.

A series of radio broadcasts over Station WOSU, for the Ohio School

of the Air, has been of weekly occurrence through the school year. This

series, in two parts--WHAT USED TO BE, and OHIO AT WAR--is

* See below.

being dramatized by Margaret Carey Tyler from factual material fur-

nished by the Museum.    The Loan Collection service to Ohio schools

has been augmented and has come to be one of the foremost of the

several types of service offered by the Museum.    The service to the

schools of Columbus and Franklin County has brought some 12,000 pupils

with their teachers to the Museum for special instruction. It may be of

interest to mention that the Society's radio program  was cited by the

Institute of Education by Radio as an example of progress in educational

methods.

A series of short articles entitled "This Ohio of Ours," carried in

Museum Echoes, and prepared by the several heads of departments, was

in effect a brief summarized history of the State. A leading New York

newspaper found this feature worthy of comment and suggested that other

states might well do something similar.

Special exhibits have been a notable feature of the Museum's pro-

gram during the past year. These, many of which were devised to fur-

ther the war effort, include the Know Ohio exhibition, rare and inter-

esting manuscripts from the Society's Library, a pretentious exhibit housed

in the War Memorial rotunda intended to depict war today; an exhibit of

American Indian Arts and Crafts; an exhibit of Soldier Art, and cur-

rently, an exhibition demonstrating the part which Ohio has played in

the several wars.

Virtually every member of the administrative staff has participated

in a program of talks and exhibits intended for service men in the

several stations adjacent to Columbus. Numerous talks also have been

offered to educational, social and patriotic groups, both in the museum and

in nearby communities.

Accessions of gifts to the various departments of the Museum have

been of unusual importance.

As might be suspected, the Staff has lost several valuable members,

through retirement, resignation or leave of absence. On January 1 James

S. Waite, veteran Cabinet Maker, retired because of age. His place has been

filled by Cyril H. Webster in a most satisfactory manner. Oliver J. Wil-

liams, Staff Photographer, resigned to enter war production work. Pend-

ing the filling of the position, Mr. Williams is serving part time.

H. H. Ellis, Assistant Curator of Archaeology, resigned last Novem-

ber to accept a position in war production. His position will not be filled,

at least for the present.

The resignation of Dr. William  D. Overman, as Curator of His-

tory, is a distinct loss to the Society. Dr. Overman recently accepted a

position as historian and archivist with the Firestone Tire and Rubber

Company. No suitable person has been found as yet to replace him.

Just what further losses may be suffered as a result of the war remains,

of course, to be seen.

208     OHIO ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL QUARTERLY

 

The Director, on authority of the Board, attended the mid-year

meeting of the Council of the American Association of Museums, in New

York City in February. The Council decided not to hold the usual Annual

Meeting this year.

Now for a brief look into the future. It will be obvious to all that

conditions beyond the present are unpredictable.  The Society can only

hold itself in readiness to meet them as they arise. The nearest that

we may come to certainty is the necessity of holding ourselves in readi-

ness in order that we may contribute fully to the reconstruction which

will follow the war--a task which even in anticipation is stupendous.

One gratifying observation, in so far as the Society is concerned, is the

vastly increased use of the Museum and Library building by groups and

organizations other than our own. The building and its facilities during

the past year have been made available to the gas rationing boards, the

several draft registrations, the training of air wardens and, perhaps most

important, to Civilian Defense. Numerous educational and patriotic or-

ganizations have been accommodated, and few days pass but that some

similar use is made of the building.

It becomes increasingly obvious that with our central location, the

building is a definite asset to the State University, to Columbus and to

the State of Ohio. Utilities and conveniences even now are insufficient

to care for this increased use. The Director takes this opportunity of

voicing the hope that these may be forthcoming, and that in the not too

distant future an addition to the Museum and Library building, together

with a spacious Auditorium for public use, may be a realization rather

than a dream.

H. C. SHETRONE, Director.

 

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY

To THE TRUSTEES AND MEMBERS OF THE OHIO STATE ARCHAEOLOGICAL

AND HISTORICAL SOCIETY:

The Secretary presents to the Board of Trustees and members of

the Society his tenth annual report for the year ending March 31, 1943,

it being the annual report for the fifty-seventh year of the Society.

 

I. Secretarial Duties

In addition to the usual routine duties of the Secretary, he has en-

gaged in a number of extra activities. He appeared on the program of

the annual meeting of the American Association for State and Local

History, at Richmond, Virginia, in October. He is also a member of

the Council of this Association. He addressed the eighth annual meet-

ing of the Champaign County Historical Society held at Urbana and gave

the principal address at the semi-centennial of the Wilmington, Ohio,

• 4
 

ANNUAL REPORTS                          209

 

Yearly Meeting of the Society of Friends. He has addressed three church

assemblies on the importance of the preservation of church records. He

was in charge of one section of the annual meeting of the American His-

torical Association, but, because of transportation conditions, this meeting

was finally cancelled at the request of the United States Government. He

has had occasion to give suggestions a number of times concerning the

organization of local and county historical societies. As chairman of the

Ohio State Executive Committee of the Anthony Wayne Memorial As-

sociation, he has completed a representative state-wide citizens' committee

and assisted in other ways in the progress of this movement.

Much attention has been given by the Secretary to the preservation

of historical material left unfinished by the closing of the W.P.A. projects

during the year. Of particular interest to the Society are the unpublished

materials of the Newspaper Index project, the Calendar of the Joshua

Reed Giddings Manuscripts, the data for a Bibliography of Ohio and the

Calendar of the Governors' Papers, 1803-1878.

Plans which were being made for a special commemorative program

this year in honor of Henry Howe were dropped for the duration, but

are expected to be carried out at a later date. Due to war conditions and

travel difficulties, it was decided to omit, during 1943, the usual Ohio

History Conference held in connection with the Annual Meeting.

Membership

The total membership of the Society as of April 1, 1943, was 626

as compared with 631 last year. The present membership consists of

1 Benefactor, 2 Patrons, 321 life members, 6 sustaining members, 16 con-

tributing members and 280 annual members. By action of the Board of

Trustees, 1 Benefactor, 1 Patron and 2 honorary life members have been

added to the rolls during the year, on the basis of unusual service rendered.

The Board of Trustees now has under consideration possible plans for

increasing the active membership of the Society.

 

Trustees

During the year, the Society suffered the loss, by death, of one

Trustee, Charles H. Spencer of Newark; Harry W. Amos, editor of The

Jeffersonian, of Cambridge, Ohio, was appointed by the Governor to take

his place. The terms of Arthur C. Johnson, Sr., George Florence and

Albert C. Spetnagel, elected by the Society's members, expire at this time.

Two Board meetings were called during the year, only one of which

had a quorum present. The other meeting was given over to a general

discussion, of which a record was made. At the meeting of September

26, 1942, Miss Elizabeth Williams of Wyoming and Mrs. John M. Pat-

tison of Cincinnati were elected honorary life members because of val-

uable contributions of manuscripts made to the Society's Library. At the

same meeting, a record was made of the appointment, by President John-

son, of Dr. George W. Rightmire as a committee of one to revise the

draft of the Constitution as approved at the Annual Meeting in 1942,

"preserving the provisions and spirit of its content."

 

II. Publications

In addition to the regular publication of the QUARTERLY and Museum

Echoes, the major task of the division of publications has been the com-

pletion of the editorial work on the History of Ohio. Volume VI of this

series was delivered in December, 1942. Volume V    is in the printer's

hands and should be available in the early summer; Volume IV  (the last

in the series) has been edited and is now ready for the printer; the major

publication project of the Society is, therefore, expected to be completed

during 1943. Many complimentary remarks have been expressed and every

volume has been favorably reviewed. While it has taken six years to ac-

complish this, yet we feel that the Society has rendered one of its most

outstanding services in this connection.  Of the 500 sets available for

sale, only about 300 remain unsold. No effort has yet been made to en-

gage in a publicity campaign, although this will be done when the series

is completed. Indications are that the whole edition will soon be ex-

hausted, and no provision has been made for a second edition.

The Secretary is constantly receiving more available and worthwhile

material than it is now possible to publish, and feels that a publication

program is one of the best outlets for an organization such as a state

historical society.

 

III. The Library

The Library has continued to grow in spite of limitations due to

small appropriations. During the year, 1,836 books and pamphlets have

been added, of which number, 280 were purchased, 1,032 were gifts, 383

were obtained through exchange, 44 were review copies, and 97 were

pamphlets.  This does not include many miscellaneous pamphlets.   The

Library is receiving regularly, 266 periodicals, of which 62 are gifts, 161

are received on exchange, and 43 on direct subscriptions.

Newspaper Department

In the Newspaper Department of the Library, 746 volumes and 710

odd issues have been added during the year. This department normally

receives for preservation, 139 newspapers, most of them  Ohio papers;

however, during the past year, a few of these have been discontinued,

for the present at least, because of war conditions. The Newspaper De-

partment has been enriched during the year by a large collection of

southern newspapers given to the Society's Library by the Hayes Me-

morial Library, Fremont, Ohio.   Another collection, consisting of Ohio

newspapers for the years 1825 to 1858, was also secured.  These, how-

ever, are not complete.

ANNUAL REPORTS                           211

 

During the period that Robert C. Wheeler was in charge of the

newspapers, he compiled an Index of the first year of the Centinel of

the Northwest Territory, the first newspaper published within the limits

of Ohio (1793-1794). This Index will be published in the July-Septem-

ber issue of the QUARTERLY.

 

Department of Documents

This department, created during the year, has charge of the manu-

scripts, archives, maps, broadsides and photostats of the Society's Library.

It represents the most valuable library treasures of the Society and more

documentary materials have been acquired during the past year than ever be-

fore. The collection has reached such magnitude that it was deemed necessary

to give it more attention than in the past, and, about the middle of the

year, Miss Bertha E. Josephson was transferred from the Secretary's

office to take charge of this department, retaining her duties as Editorial

Associate. Her experience and training in historical work had prepared

her for this very important task. During the year, 4,795 pieces of manu-

script material were accessioned.  All the manuscripts accessioned have

been boxed, are now listed alphabetically by subject in an Accessions

Catalogue and in a Cross Reference Shelf-Catalogue.     They are also

gradually being calendared.

These collections, which constitute one of the most important phases

of the Society's work, will be given major attention until the vast accumu-

lation of resources is organized and made accessible to the public.  Be-

cause of lack of sufficient staff assistance this is, necessarily, a slow and

laborious process.  Detailed reports concerning individual collections are

being made in current issues of Museum Echoes and have aroused favor-

able comment. When the work is completed, a guide to all the materials

will be published and made available for members, libraries, historical

societies and interested individuals.

A notable increase of interest in the preservation and care of public

archives has been manifested during the year, and the State Govern-

ment is beginning to realize the importance of proper care and supervision.

It is hoped that someday, in the not too far future, adequate housing

and servicing facilities will be provided for the archives of the State of

Ohio.

Cataloging Department

During the year, this department has catalogued 2,067 books and

3,357 cards have been added. In revising the catalogue file, 164,000 cards

have been handled. Because of the lack of sufficient staff, there are now

on the shelves, awaiting cataloging, 4,000 volumes and 3,500 process slips

for which cards have not yet been made. The cataloging staff has been

compelled to give much time, needed for their work, to proofreading the

Society's publications and proofreading and indexing the History of the

State of Ohio.

212     OHIO ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL QUARTERLY

 

Reference Department

The demands on this department have increased during the year,

and the staff has decreased. An added burden placed upon the Reference

Library is the handling of inquiries received by mail and the genealogi-

cal research work.

The Staff

During the year, there have been many changes due to war conditions.

Harold C. O'Neal resigned early in the year to accept a position on the

library staff of the University of Maryland. Robert C. Wheeler was ap-

pointed Acting Newspaper Librarian in June, but entered the Army in Oc-

tober. Arthur D. Mink, a graduate of the Western Reserve Library School,

succeeded him in the Newspaper Department. These changes made possible

the organization of the Documents Department, and Miss Bertha E. Joseph-

son was transferred from the Secretary's office to this department, continu-

ing her duties as Editorial Associate. In the transfer, Mrs. Ardis H.

Wheeler was appointed Stenographic Secretary to the Editor and Librarian.

So many necessary changes create quite a problem in routine work,

but every member of the staff, old and new, is entitled to words of com-

mendation in the way the emergency has been met.

Miscellaneous

During the year, a large collection of suitable books, either duplicates

or books outside the Society's particular fields, has been contributed for the

use of soldiers and sailors in various camps and training stations.

The movement to commemorate the services of General Anthony

Wayne within the limits of Ohio, 1793-1795, has been further strengthened

by the creation of an official State committee to be appointed by the Gov-

ernor of the State.

The Secretary-Librarian took the initiative, three years ago, in a move-

ment to transfer the Records of the Northwest Territory, stored in the

Court House of Washington County, at Marietta, to the custody of the

State Society. A year ago, an agreement was reached by which these

records were transferred to the Campus Martius Memorial, and Mrs. Edith

S. Reiter, Curator of the Memorial, has been arranging and listing them,

so that they will be available for use by qualified persons under supervision.

The Society's Library is serving as the permanent depository for his-

torical material collected by the Ohio War History Commission.

The facilities for properly safeguarding all kinds of library material

--the newspapers, books, manuscripts, maps and archives--have been taxed

to the limit, and the only recourse (until more space can be provided by

future building) is to store the material--and much of it under unfavorable

conditions.

In conclusion, the Secretary would like to make some recommenda-

tions for the consideration of the Trustees and members of the Society.

While he fully realizes that these cannot receive serious attention until the

War is over, yet he feels that a program for future work should be care-

fully considered, so that when the opportunity does arrive, no time will be

lost. He recommends:

1. A union list of Ohio newspapers available in Ohio, which might

well be expanded to include Ohio newspapers in the leading cen-

ters outside the State.

2. A union list of the manuscript material relating to Ohio and avail-

able for research in Ohio.

3. A union list of maps relating to Ohio and available for research

in Ohio.

4. The publication of an Ohio Bibliography, which the Society has

already sponsored, and which is being prepared by Dr. James H.

Rodabaugh of the research staff of the Hayes Memorial Library.

5. A Dictionary of Ohio Biography. The need for a set of scholarly

biographical sketches of the more important men and women of

Ohio can hardly be denied. This should be planned along the

lines of the Dictionary of American Biography. It should be a

cooperative effort, handled by a competent staff, guided by the

judgment of a state-wide committee of qualified historians, and

edited and published under the auspices of the Society.

The Secretary is, however, thankful for the accomplishments which

have been possible during the year.

Respectfully submitted,

HARLOW LINDLEY,

Secretary, Editor, and Librarian.

 

REPORT OF THE TREASURER

Herewith is the letter of transmittal of Mr. W. D. Wall, Certified

Public Accountant, to the Society's Treasurer, Mr. Oscar F. Miller.

April 21, 1943.

MR. O. F. MILLER, TREASURER.

DEAR SIR:

The annual audit of the books of account of the Ohio State Archaeo-

logical and Historical Society for the year ended December 31, 1942, has

been completed. Presented herewith is our report. From the schedule of

the Society's Receipts and Disbursements it will be found that the total of

receipts collected during the year was $5,360.55, less advances refunded and

bequests in the amount of $1,563.17 which leaves a total of $3,797.38 from

revenue sources as compared with $2,967.22 for the year 1941, an increase

of $930.16 (this increase is again due entirely to the sale of the History of

the State of Ohio).

214     OHIO ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL QUARTERLY

 

Total disbursements from Society Funds amounted to $4,231.66; less

non-revenue disbursements totalling $1,079.33, leaving a total of expenses

paid from Society Funds of $3,152.33. The excess of revenue receipts over

expenses paid from Society Funds for the year 1942 was $645.05.

Included in the above income was $30.00 of interest on Certificates of

Deposit from the Hamilton Kline Memorial Fund which was credited to

the checking account carried at the Bolivar State Bank, Bolivar, Ohio. No

expenditures were made from this account during the year. The fund has

a balance of $2,366.79. The Depositor's claim for $437.03 against the

Bolivar State Bank remained unchanged during the year.

The Statement of Receipts and Disbursements of commissary opera-

tions in many of the State Memorials shows total receipts of $11,008.15, as

compared with $17,696.72 for 1941, a decrease of $6,688.57. Expenditures

for the year in connection with operations were $5,857.36, as compared with

$12,546.40 for 1941, a decrease of $6,689.04. From this fund the Society

also disbursed $5,995.26 for equipment, improvements and betterments and

$893.07 in cash advances. The balance at December 31, 1942, was $3,381.88.

The total of State Legislative Appropriations was $138,500.00 with a

$19,959.24 balance brought forward from 1941, making a total of $158,459.24.

Of this amount $6,058.04 remained unexpended, leaving $152,401.20 total

expenditures during the year. In comparison with 1941 this is a decrease

in expenditures of $17,123.32. Included in the expenditures from state ap-

propriations was the sum of $18,762.64 for additions and betterments for

Fort Hill, Fort Ancient, Campus Martius, Cedar Swamp and the Garfield

House.

During the year the Society was in receipt of a gift of $783.84 from

Trustee Albert C. Spetnagel for the construction of a museum at Mound

City. The entire amount was expended.

The books of the Society were found in excellent condition and in

balance and the several fund balances, as stated herein, are supported by bank

statements, savings pass books, bonds and certificates of deposit.

Respectfully submitted,

W. D. WALL,

Certified Public Accountant.
