From about 1898 to 1903, the Sandusky Store Fixture Companydid business in Sandusky, Ohio. It was the successor to the SanduskyHandle Company, and was located opposite the Lake Shore Railway Depot.

Anarticle in the August 8, 1898 issue of the SanduskyStar stated that the Sandusky Store Fixture Company had the best wood, andthe biggest load, for the best money. In October of 1899 the company installed two new bowling alleys for Finley Greisheimer,a Sandusky saloon on West Market Street. The alleys were regulation size, andmade from the best quality maple wood. The company manufactured fixtures forbanks, offices, drugstores, bowling alleys, and other businesses.

For fiveyears, C.A. Muelhauser, an expert in cabinet making, was a superintendent with the company. A.G.Baumeister was manager, and Nicholas Heinz andOtto Baumeister were listed as employees. The front page of the SanduskyRegister of March 30, 1963 featured an article which reported that Bellevueveterinarian had recently had two saloon tables refinished, one of which had alabel that was clearly inscribed with the words Sandusky Store Fixture Company.

From about 1873 to 1890, George Peters operated a restaurantand billiard parlor in the 600 block of Water Street in downtown Sandusky, Ohio (probably where the empty lot on the 100 block of East Water Street is today).He stated in an advertisement in the 1888 Sandusky City Directory that mealswere served to order at all hours of the day or night. Wine and beer were served in the saloon, and therewas a private parlor for ladies. Women were allowed to patronize the business, but they weren't allowed to work there!

The Sanduskycity ordinances of the time prohibited women from working in a business that served alcohol unless they were the wife or daughter of the owner.

And if a woman did happen to work in a saloon, young men (under 21) were not allowed to engage in conversation with her, to help preserve "order" in the community. Rules were different in those days.

George Peters was a native of Germany.During the Civil War he served as a private in Company B of the 145^thOhio Volunteer Infantry. In the early part of the twentieth century, he moved to Norwalk, Ohio. After his death in 1909, he was laidto rest in Sanduskys Oakland Cemetery.

You might have driven past this monument many times and not noticed it, but it deserves recognition. It is a tribute to the founders of Sandusky.

On June 25, 1937 members of the Martha Pitkin Chapter of theDaughters of the Revolution unveiled a plaque honoring several of Sanduskyspioneer citizens at the triangular park located between Huron Avenue, Wayne, and East AdamsStreets. The bronze plaque, created by A. J. Balconi, was placed on a three tonboulder at the park.

Names on the top portion of the plaque include the originalfounders of Sandusky: Zalmon Wildman,Isaac Mills, and George Hoadley. On the bottom portion are thenames of the nine men who directed theincorporation of Sandusky as a city in 1824. They were: Dr. George Anderson, Aaron C.Corbet, Cyrus W. Marsh, Alexander Clemons, Eleutheros Cooke, John Wheeler,William Townsend, William Kelly, and Moors Farwell, who served as Sanduskysfirst mayor. Several of these men were Masons; an article in a 1937 issue of the Sandusky Masonic Bulletin recognized them and the construction and dedication of the monument

Sloane

Rush Richard Sloanewas born inSanduskyin 1828, the son of John Sloane and Cynthia Strong Sloane. (Cynthias father Abner Strong was said to be a leader in the Underground Railroad inOhio.) When he was only 16 years of age, Rush R. Sloane studied law under prominent Sandusky attorneyF. D. Parish. Sloane practiced law until 1857.

Below is a circular from 1853 which announces that Rush Sloane would practice law in Supreme, Federal, District, and Common Pleas Courts throughout Northern andCentral Ohio. His list of references included Jay Cooke, as well as many leading men ofSandusky,Buffalo, and several other locations.

During the 1850s Rush Sloane was a leading abolitionist inOhio. In 1852, he defended seven men escaping slavery. The men were released, but one of the former slaveowners, Louis Weimer, sued Sloane in the U.S. District Court inColumbus. Sloane was fined $3000 ($104,000 in 2021 dollars) and court costs. In appreciation of his support, several African American residents ofSanduskypresented Rush Sloane with a silver headed cane.

This cane is on display atThe Follett House MuseuminSandusky.
In 1856 he attended conventions held inPittsburghandPhiladelphia that laidthe foundation of the Republican Party. On June 2, 1900, he was invited to the 1900 Republican Convention on June 19, though by that time Sloane had become a member of the Democratic Party.

Rush Sloane served as city clerk ofSanduskyfrom 1855 to 1857, and was elected Erie County Probate Judge in 1857. In the early 1860s, he briefly moved toChicagoto be a special agent of the Post Office Department. By 1867 he had become president of theSandusky,Daytonand Cincinnati Railroad, successor to the Mad River and Lake Erie Railroad. Because of several financial disputes, a challenge to his leadership of the railroad, and a charge of embezzlement from the company, Sloane fled toEuropefor three years. By 1876, he had returned to Sandusky, and eventually cleared of the charges (although there may have been a paid settlement).

After his return toSandusky, Sloane ran for mayor ofSanduskyon the Democratic ticket. He served as mayor ofSanduskyin 1879 and 1880. He had theSloane Househotel built in 1880, and later built the Sloane block (aka Sloane Annex) which housed several businesses.

Rush Sloane died on December 21, 1908. He was survived by his third wife, the former Helen F. Hall, two sons, and two daughters. From 1899 until the time of his death, Rush Sloane served as president of theFirelands Historical Society.

There is a wealth of historical information about Rush R. Sloane at the Sandusky Library and theSanduskyLibraryArchivesResearchCenter. Charles E. Frohman, in his index to theSandusky Register, features over 50 index cards with newspaper citations relating to Rush R. Sloane. A large portion of the biography of I.F. Mack, entitledSandusky'sEditor, by Charles E. Frohman, is devoted to Sloane. I.F. Mack was very vocal in his criticisms of Sloane, and as editor of the Sandusky Register he voiced his opinions often.

I.F. Mack (1837-1912)

Residents ofSanduskymay have had mixed feelings about attorney, businessman, former Mayor, and abolitionist Rush R. Sloane, but there is no doubt that Rush Sloane was an important figure in the history of Sandusky.

This thermometer was a recent gift to the Sandusky Library Archives Research Center. According to an article in theSandusky Register Star Newsof October 24, 1944, Arthur J. Petersen opened a small repair garage on Bell Street in 1923. From 1926 until his retirement in 1982, he ran Petersens Garage at 316 Scott Street. The article noted that Mr. Petersen and four employees were kept busy with repairs to automobiles.

This brief excerpt described the success of the garage:Mr. Petersens success in the garage business can be readily traced to his ability to quickly estimate a job, obtain parts and complete work with no more delay than is absolutely necessary.And as the article noted, Mr. Petersen was aware of the need to keep the vehicles of war workers in proper running condition.

Arthur J. Petersen passed away on December 20, 1987. He was survived by his wife, a daughter, five grandchildren and seven great grandchildren.

When he was still a high school student, William Edward Chapman, known as Ed, wrote to his father, William Pendleton Chapman. A transcription of the first page of the letter is below:

April 11, 1862

Dear Father,

I received your letter of the 17th yesterday noon. In the afternoon I saw W.T. Williams and he said he would ship the provisions at 40 cents per hundred 10 cents per hundred cheaper than he did the others. The Portsmouth arrived that same afternoon and this afternoon we loaded the provisions. I got the insurance on it just now, paid $5.04. I also got G.J. Anderson to insure the $3000 on the provisions in Keechs building, paid $3.75 for insuring that. The Sandusky Gas Light Co. have declared a dividend they gave me a check on Moss Brothers, so I went and got the money and paid for these things instead of taking it out of the drawer. The girl has left: she is going to be married next Monday. She found us another girl though.

Poor Henry Barney is dead! He died from the effects of his wound at Pittsburgh Landing. He died in the hospital at Louisville on last Friday night between 10 11 oclock. His mother was with him. His remains were brought home last night he was buried with military honors this afternoon.

Its about as sorrowful a time here as I ever knew. He was buried from the Church. Dr. Bronson preached a funeral

[The second page of the letter continued:]

sermon. Henry fought all day Thursday Friday, rested Saturday, then fought Sunday Monday till 2 oclock in the afternoon. He was lying on his back loading, with his knee elevated, when a bullet struck him below the knee, hit the bone shattered his knee all to pieces. It is thought, if it had been amputated on the field, his life could have been saved, but he kept sinking lower lower after it was dressed the last time he fell right away died that night. He said before he died that he had seen enough of war. If anyone that passed through those days might well say so. It seems hard to be shot nearly the last thing. Olds had a narrow escape. A ball went through his cap bruised his head without hurting him. Everybody feels as bad nearly as if they lost a brother. I cant realize that it is so.

Yours affectionately,

Ed

William Edward Chapman worked as a clerk in the freight office of the Sandusky, Mansfield Newark Railroad. Later he worked for the Erie Railway at Dunkirk, New York. He moved back to Sandusky for a time, and in the 1890s he and his wife and children moved to Cuyahoga County, Ohio, where he worked successfully in the lake transportation business.

William Edward Chapman died in 1925 in Cleveland, Ohio. He was buried at Sanduskys Oakland Cemetery next to his wife, the former Julia Mills. The Sandusky Library Archives Research Center is fortunate to have a series of nineteenth century letters written to and from members of the Chapman and Pendleton families.
