There is an arrival at this place almost every week. Last Tuesday three couples stopped at the Row House, among whom were Mr. and Mrs. L.L. Parker, of Kalida, and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Wing, the latter having the "knot tied" at the Hotel before the arrival of the Southern train. They left, behind the iron horse, destined for Toledo, where they expect to "lay over" until the latter part of the week then to return to their respective homes in this county. May their care of life glide gently along, have no collisions, no breakdowns, no upsets, and in due time be supplied with plenty of half-fare passengers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Bakers" Subject: Putnam County Sentinel,Ottawa, Ohio, March 17, 1866 Date: Sun, 25 Mar 2001 16:14:22 +0200 The following was found in the above subject newspaper.

Save Your Old Bread.--Every reader of the Rural, or at least every house-keeper, perhaps, does not know, what however is true, that pieces of old bread, crumbs, &c., on being soaked and mixed up with dough in making new bread, improves it very much. I would advise all house-keepers who read this receipt to try it, and our word for it, they will never allow pieces of dry bread to be lost afterwards--especially in these times of high prices, when flour is from $12 to $13.50 a barrel. Let economy be your watchword now.--X.

The following is from 20TH CENTURN HISTORY OF DELAWARE COUNTY, OHIO AND REPRESENTATIVE CITIZENS by James R. Lytle, published by Biographical Publishing Company, Chicago, Illinois, in 1908. A.V. CONKLIN, M.D., a leading citizen of Troy Township, were he owns a valuable farm, 100 acres of land, well-improved and under thorough cultivation, has been prominently identified with the Eclectic School of Medicine, in Ohio, since he received his degree in 1860. He assisted to organize the Ohio State Eclectic Society and was its first vice-president, and served also as the president of that important medical body. Dr. Conklin belongs to an old pioneer family of the State. He was born in Morrow County, Ohio, November 21, 1832, and is a son of Jacob and Orra (Payne) Conklin. The parents of Dr. Conklin were of new England birth, his father coming from Vermont and his mother from Connecticut. Jacob Conklin was a soldier in the War of 1812, and after its close, in 1814, he settled first in Delaware County, Ohio, and later moved to that section which became Morrow County, where he died in 1875. Dr. Conklin was reared in Morrow County and enjoyed educational advantages at Mt.

For many years Dr. Conklin was one of the leading medical practitioners in this section and few men are better known. Public affairs and local good government have claimed his attention, in the light of good citizenship, and he has long been identified with the Republican party, with strong views in favor of temperance. On November 12, 1861, Dr. Conklin was married to Maria Hull, who was born in Marion County, Ohio, and is a daughter of Nathaniel and Nancy (Wyatt) Hull, both of whom died in Marion County.

After ten years of school teaching, he learned telegraphy, and was employed at Wooster and other places for some years. In 1866 he graduated in the Eclectic Medical Institute at Cincinnati, Ohio.
