William Wolfe's Stories of Guernsey County
Pg  808:
Lore City was platted in Center Township July 8, 1903,  right on the border 
of Center, Wills and Richland Townships. (Note: Think of an upsidedown T with 
Richland below the horizontal line and Center on the left side, Wills on the 
right.  Lore City is on that intersection)  Lore City was incorporated in 
1906.  The original name was Campbell's Station and changed to Lore City in 
1876.  In 1910 the population was 609, in 1940 population was 606.
 pg 1006  Chapter: VALLEY TOWNSHIP
Walhonding is in Valley Township, Guernsey county, right above the border of 
Noble County.  
"Walhonding in the southeast part of the township is composed almost entirely 
of foreigners"  
pg 408 - Chapter "Coal, Oil and Gas"
Walhonding No. 2 has mined 1259 acres of coal to date (1943) but the pillars 
have not been removed.  Several hundred acres yet remain unminded at 
Walhonding.  The company has yet to decide whether coal will be lifted from 
present shaft or a from new shaft sunk elsewhere.
