Herbert
Hoover
The man who would become U.S. President at the time of its greatest economic crisis spoke in Richmond about the need to help consumers, little knowing in seven years he would be tasked with salvaging the economy. Secretary of Commerce and future president Herbert Hoover spoke at Earlham’s College Diamond Jubilee luncheon on June 6, 1922. Hoover was a multi-millionaire and a member of the Republican Party, who later became president. He was also related to the Hoover family that came to Wayne County from West Milton, Ohio, and settled a portion of what would become Richmond. When as 31st president he entered the White House at a time of prosperity, Americans expected him to lead them to even better days. But seven months after he took the oath of office the stock market crashed and the Great Depression began. Hoover oversaw loans to business, but deemphasized caring for the downtrodden, whose aid he thought should remain a voluntary effort. He and many business leaders believed that prosperity would quickly return to the United States. To some he acted too slowly, as his efforts were largely ineffective. In later years he would donate the income from his government work, including his pension, to charity. Ex-president Hoover again spoke at Earlham on June 12, 1939, on a comeback trail after an unsuccessful presidency. He would not complete his comeback as chief executive, but he would, by the end of his life, restore the country’s faith in him as an American. |

Irish Ohioans
Irish Ohioans
Numerous Ohioans are descended from Irish ancestors. Today,
Irish Ohioans continue to enhance Ohio's cultural and social landscape.
During the eighteenth, nineteenth, and early twentieth centuries, millions of immigrants migrated to the United States of America, hoping to live the American Dream. Before the American Civil War, most immigrants arrived in the United States from Great Britain, Germany, and Ireland. By the 1880s, the home countries of immigrants began to change. Many of the new immigrants to arrive in the United States came from Eastern European countries, like Poland, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia, rather than from Western European countries, like Great Britain, Ireland, and Germany.
In 1860, 328,249 immigrants lived in Ohio. These people accounted for fourteen percent of the state's population. By 1900, the number of immigrants in Ohio rose to 458,734, but the percentage of the population that was foreign-born declined to eleven percent. Most of these immigrants in 1900 came from Germany, Great Britain, and Ireland, yet a growing number of Eastern Europeans were also migrating to the state.
People of Irish heritage were among the earliest white settlers of Ohio. Many migrated from Pennsylvania during the late 1700s and the early 1800s along Zane's Trace. Others came later to help build the numerous canals constructed during the 1820s and 1830s. Many of these people came to Ohio as a direct result of the potato famine in Ireland during the 1840s. Unable to pay mortgages for their land due to the poor potato crop, many of these people hoped to come to the United States to start their lives again. Many arrived with nothing more than a few pieces of clothing.
While most of the Irish immigrants hoped to become farmers, without any money, they took whatever jobs they could receive. These jobs were usually among the least desirable ones in the United States, because of the hard work and the poor wages. Many of these people who came to Ohio first served as laborers on canals like the Ohio and Erie Canal and the Miami and Erie Canal. Once railroads arrived in the state, many of these same workers helped lay the track. Other Ohioans did not always receive the Irish migrants with open arms. Most Ohioans were from Protestant faiths and opposed the Irish, who usually followed Roman Catholicism. Struggling Ohioans also did not like competition from the recently arrived migrants. During the 1850s, many Ohioans joined the new Know-Nothing (American) Party. This political party vehemently opposed new immigrants�especially the Irish�from coming to the United States. Hatred of the Irish was so deep during this time period that many communities required deceased Irishmen and women be buried in Irish-only cemeteries. Despite their difficulties, many of the Irish migrants succeeded in establishing successful lives in Ohio. They also helped improve Ohio's economic standing by helping the state establish a transportation infrastructure.
While many Irish Ohioans faced discrimination, these same people also commonly opposed the arrival of new groups to the state, especially free African Americans or runaway slaves. Race riots sometimes occurred, especially if whites feared that African Americans were gaining too much power or infringing upon white opportunities. For example, in 1829, one such riot occurred in Cincinnati, because Irish immigrants disliked economic competition from the African-American community. The Irish tried to drive African Americans from Cincinnati, but they were unsuccessful in this effort.
Because of violent episodes like the one that occurred in Cincinnati in 1829, Irish immigrants tended to establish their own communities. During the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, many native-born Americans feared outsiders. Some of these people objected to the immigrants' religious and cultural beliefs, while others believed that the foreigners would corrupt the morals of United States citizens. These people also contended that the quality of life within the United States would decline, as there were not enough jobs to employ the millions of people migrating to America. Many native-born Americans hoped either to limit immigration or to force foreigners to convert to American customs and beliefs. It would take several generations before the immigrants became truly accepted by the vast majority of white Ohioans.
While Irish migration to Ohio peaked during the 1840s, thousands of Irish men and women continued to migrate to the state during the late nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries. In 1900, 55,018 native-born Irish people resided in Ohio, making them the second largest such group, behind only Germans, in the state. The number of Irish migrants declined over the next twenty years. In 1920, only 29,262 native-born Irish people lived in Ohio, ranking them as the tenth largest group behind Germans, Hungarians, Poles, Italians, Austrians, Russians, British, Czechoslovakians, and Yugoslavians. The number of Irish immigrants continued to decline during the rest of the twentieth century, with it nearly ceasing following World War II.
At the start of the twenty-first century, Irish culture and institutions continue to thrive in Ohio. Irish social organizations, such as the Irish American Club-East Side, Inc., and the West Side Irish-American Club both of Cleveland, exist in most of the state's major cities.

Cincinnati in 1840: The Social and Functional
Organization of an Urban Community During the Pre-Civil War Period
(Urban Life and Urban Landscape)
During the pre-Civil War period, Cincinnati was the fastest growing and,
according to many contemporary observers, most interesting city in
America. This classic study, completed in the early 1970s, focusses on
the community in 1840 to explain its success but also to suggest some
broader patterns in the city's development and American
urbanization.<P>Using local census records, city directories,
Walter Stix Glazer describes the demographic, social, economic, and
political structure of the adult white male population in 1840 and then
develops a unified model of its social and functional organizations.
This analysis (based on computerized records of thousands of
Cincinnatians) also documents some broader trends between 1820 and 1860:
the volatility of Cincinnati's labor force, the career patterns of its
homeowners, and the leadership of a small group of successful citizens
active in a broad range of voluntary associations.<P>This
statistical analysis is complemented with sections of traditional
historical narrative and biographical profiles that illustrate the
general themes of the book. Glazer argues that Cincinnati's success up
to 1840 was due to a unified booster vision and a cohesive community
elite that gradually broke down, as a result of ethnic and economic
division, over the next twenty years. This story has broader
implications in terms of the character of Jacksonian democracy and
American urbanization.

| Board: Message Boards > Surnames > Edwards URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.edwards/6331/mb.ashx Subject: Obituary of Henry Edwards 1795-1881 d. Randolph Co., IN Author: Tony Meeks Date: Friday, September 01, 2006 Classification: Query Surnames: | |
| The following obituary appeared in The Winchester Journal on December 21, 1881 on page 2 column 4. DIED. EDWARDS—Henry Edwards was born in Gilford [sic] county, North Carolina, March 2, 1795. Married to Polly Hamilton, October 18, 1815; moved to Wayne county, Indiana, in the fall of 1821, removed to Randolph county in the Spring of 1831; died at the residence of his son, Hamilton Edwards, two miles and a half south of this place, November 4, 1881, aged eighty-six years and two days. When Mr. Edwards moved to Randolph county, the county was in its infancy. There were but few houses in Winchester, and the surrounding country was a wilderness. He erected a log hut in the woods near where he died, and commenced the struggles of a pioneer life, he lived to see the country cleared of her great forests and the fields covered with golden grain, and presenting a fair prospect of becoming one of the finest and wealthiest counties in the State. He was highly respected as a neighbor and a pioneer citizen by all who knew him, as the long column that followed his remains to its last resting place, fully attested. He was the father of eleven children. His aged wife and seven of his children still survive him and mourn his death. They were all present at the funeral. The services were conducted by the Rev. N. T. Butts, at White River Friends’ Church, November 5, 1881. N. T. B. |

Tamworth, England, William Dafforn
Tamworth
 Castles |
Sitting
astride the famous Roman Watling Street, Tamworth, despite its bustling
modernity enjoys a fascinating and turbulent history. The town is first
referred to in the 8 th century AD when it held the prestigious
position of capital of the Saxon kingdom of Mercia. Here it was that
King Offa built his palace. Danish sea raiders twice destroyed the Saxon
capital and it was later invaded by Scandinavians who left their mark
upon the town, as seen in street names such as Gungate. In AD913
Aetheflaed (Ethelfleda), King Alfred's daughter established a fortress
on the site, part of which has been excavated; this fortress enclosed
the entire Saxon township.
Dominating
Tamworth today is the fine Norman motte and bailey castle set in the
Pleasure Grounds, where beautifully coloured floral terraces cascade
down from the splendid castle. Tamworth Castle stands high on a steeply
inclined artificial mound in the town centre, at the confluence of the
Rivers Tame and Anker. Typical in construction of other Norman motte and
bailey castles it dates from the 1180's, having replaced the original
wooden defensive tower. It was William the Conqueror's Royal Champion,
Robert de Marmion, who built the castle on part of the site of the
fortress erected by Ethelfleda. The castle was rebuilt of sandstone
during the 12 th century and today all that remains of de Marmion's
castle are the keep, tower and stretches of herringbone curtain wall.
The
Norman polygonal keep has the unusual addition of a square tower set
into its walls on the East Side. Down the centuries various owners have
made numerous alterations and additions to the structure, these include
the early 15 th century Banqueting Hall, the Tudor Warden's Lodge and
the early 17 th century South Wing. The Jacobean apartments are
decorated with intricate woodwork and a fine heraldic frieze, while the
Castle Museum houses models of Tamworth's Saxon fortifications and
includes examples of ancient silver pennies from the Tamworth Mint. The
Castle was purchased from the Marquess of Townsend by Tamworth
Corporation in 1897 and opened to the public in 1899.
A
Saxon nun, Editha, is purported to haunt Tamworth Castle, for it is
said that when Robert de Marmion took possession of his lands he
expelled the nuns from a nearby convent. The order had been founded by
Editha in the 9 th century and the expelled nuns summoned her spirit
from the grave. Editha supposedly attacked de Marmion in his bedroom and
as a result of her severe beating he restored the nuns to their
convent, now a wiser man. The Parish Church of St Editha, founded in
AD963, is a vast structure that was rebuilt after the Norman Conquest of
1066; it again underwent reconstruction when the Great Fire of Tamworth
destroyed much of it in 1345. The marvellous 15 th century tower at the
West End contains a most remarkable double staircase, while the mixture
of Victorian and modern stained glass found within blends together
surprisingly well.
The
noted writer Daniel Defoe remarked upon Tamworth as "a small but very
handsome market town", and despite much having disappeared since his
time there still remains some remarkably attractive 18 th century
buildings in Market Street and Lady Bank. Built in 1701, the Town hall
is a charming structure displaying open arches with Tuscan columns
below. The building was financed by Thomas Guy, the local Member of
Parliament, more famous as the founder of the London hospital bearing
his name. Tamworth's other famous son was Sir Robert Peel, Prime
Minister under both William IV and Queen Victoria. In 1834 Robert Peel
made a pre-election speech to his constituents in which he outlined his
plans for political reform - known as the Tamworth Manifesto it was the
forerunner of modern electioneering addresses. Fronting the Town hall is
a goodly bronze statue of Peel.

Parish History
Clifton Campville is an Ancient Parish in the county of Staffordshire.Other places in the parish include: Haunton.CLIFTON-CAMPVILLE (St. Andrew), a parish, in the union of Tamworth, partly in the hundred of Repton and Gresley, S. division of the county of Derby, but chiefly in the N. division of the hundred of Offlow and of the county of Stafford, 6 miles (N. E. by N.) from Tamworth; containing 921 inhabitants, of whom 341 are in the township of Clifton-Campville. This parish consists of the townships of Clifton-Campville and Haunton, and the chapelry of Harleston, in the county of Stafford; and of the chapelry of Chilcote, in that of Derby. It comprises by computation 6300 acres; the surface is undulated, and the soil in some places a rich fertile marl, and in others a strong clay. The village, which is large, is situated in the vale of the Mease, and on the road from Elford to Ashby-de-laZouch. The living is a rectory, valued in the king's books at £30, and in the gift of Henry John Pye, Esq., to whose ancestor, Sir Charles Pye, Bart., the manor was sold by the Coventry family in 1700. The tithes of Clifton-Campville and Haunton have been commuted for £717. 1. 1., those of Harleston for £370, and of Chilcote for £258; the glebe contains 150 acres, with a good glebe-house. The church is adorned with one of the finest spires in the kingdom; and has two chancels separated by a handsome screen: there are some paintings on glass, one of which represents St. Mark; and in the south chancel is an ancient monument with recumbent effigies to the memory of Sir John Vernon and his lady. At Harleston and Chilcote are chapels of ease; and a parochial school is supported by the patron and incumbent. In the eastern extremity of the parish is a small common, called No-man's Heath, with a cross cut in the turf to mark the converging points of the four counties of Stafford, Derby, Leicester, and Warwick, which unite at that spot.
