Reading Cemeteries…
All members are invited to help us finish our current cemetery project. For a couple of summers we have been attempting to update the cemetery books we began publishing nearly 25 years ago.
Re-reading every cemetery takes a lot of time and people on the ground. The more people we have to help with the additions the more likely it is that we will be able to complete the project this summer.

The Deshler Bakery*
Ken Croy, from Ottawa, was working to renovate a building at 117 E. Main St in Deshler in the 1970’s when he uncovered an old, handwritten, recipe ledger. Inside was a blank order ticket for Eddie’s Bakery, phone number 166, Deshler, Ohio, 194_.
The book contains 188 pages with some being blank. Some of the recipes were identified as ”Herb’s,” “Toledo,” “Frank’s,” and ‘Mccann.”
Mr. Croy spoke with several people in town and the Historical Society, attempting to find survivors of the owners of the bakery. No-one could remember anyone who was a descendant.
After time had passed, Mr. Croy decided he should again take up the project of leaming more about Eddie’s bakery. He found that there had actually been at least four owners of the bakery at that location.
John Campbell McCANN, b. 21 Dec 1889 in Ironton, OH d. 22 Dec 1932 in Napoleon, OH, came to Deshler.and purchased the Deshler Bakery from O. D. TAYLOR in partnership with Adolph BAUER. It may have been called the Blue Ribbon Bakery originally, with the name being changed in 1929 to the Deshler Bakery.
Mr. McCANN added modein rnachinery until his bakery became one of, if not the, best equipped and operated bakery in northwest Ohio. Although he died in an auto accident at the age of 43, his wife, Helen, continued to operate the bakery until she died in 1938.
In 1939 a newspaper article announced it had been purchased by Eddie GRISE, who baked bread with the label ‘Golden Krust’ as well as a line “of excellent pastries;” He put into operation a new bread wrapping machine which operated along a more modern assembly line. “The wrapper and slicer couple together and loaves pass on an endless belt through both machines.”
Mr. GRISE died at the age of 57 in February of 1963. By that time he had sold the business (now Marschal’s Bakery) although he still worked there as a baker. The MARSCHAL family closed the bakery and moved ca. 1963.
It is fun to read the recipes although it would be difficult to translate them into something usable in a family kitchen, For example, a recipe for White Cake requires 10 lb. flour, 7 lb. sugar, 3 1/2 lb. Crisco, 6 1/4 lb. egg whites, 4 oz. salt, 3 3/4 lb. sweet milk; 2 lb. 4x (powdered) sugar, 1 oz. vanilla, 4 1/2 oz. baking powder, and 1 oz. tartene (cream of tartar).
Some ingredients need interpretation which this editor is unable to provide. Why would one add amonia (sic) to a recipe?· What are gluco, sweetex, covo, cindrella and brolite? The book Mr. Croy has compiled makes for interesting reading. It is available from him at: Mr. Kenneth Croy, Otawa, OH 45875.
*This information was developed from a query and subsequent research.

From the Henry County Signal, 25 Jan 1883
CRAIG– On Sunday, Jan. 21, 1883, Judge Alexander CRAIG, aged 81 years and 8 months.
The most of our citizens were startled last Monday morning on hearing that Judge CRAIG had died on the previous day. Very few, except those who noticed the item in the Signal last week that he was lying quite ill at his residence on Perry Street, knew that he was even sick, save a few of his old
and devoted personal friends. He has evidently been failing for the past two or three months, but it
was only some ten days previous to his death that he confined himself to the house, and only four .or five days before that even that it became evident that he was nearing the end of a long and eventful life.
Judge CRAIG was born in Washington County, PA, on the 3rd of May, 1801, where he lived until 1822 when he moved to Lexington, Richland County, this state. He remained there but a short time, about a year, when he went to Millersburg, Hohnes County. He stayed there until the Spring of 1815 when he came to Napoleon, May 17th, at which time there were just eleven inhabitants in Napoleon, who resided in two double log cabins. One of these was owned by George STOUT, father of Joseph A. and John G. STOUT, with whom he made arrangements to occupy a part of his dwelling until he could put up one of his own, which he completed and moved into on the 10th of July of the same year he came to Napoleon.
On the 3rd of April, 1828, about seven years previous to his arrival in Napoleon, Judge CRAIG married Miss Susan NEELY at Millersburg, who was born on the 27th of December, 1806, and who died about one year ago. They had four children by their marriage—one son and three daughters.
Judge CRAIG filled several important official positions in Henry County with honor to himself and satisfaction to the people. He was one of the Associate Judges seven years, Recorder six years, and Post Master and Sheriff four years-making seventeen years of official life, without a blot on his honesty or integrity during the whole time.
Just forty-eight years ago the coming Spring when Judge CRAIG came here, Napoleon, as stated above, had only eleven inhabitants all told, and all of Henry county comparatively a wilderness. Now Napoleon has at least three thousand five hundred population, with a population in the county of about twenty-five thousand! When we view Napoleon today with its magnificent county buildings, its fine business blocks, its splendid school building, its churches, its mills, its manufactories, its banks, and its private dwellings, and the prosperous villages and almost innumerable farms throughout the county, the wonderful contrast between them and the present can be more fully realized. It falls to the lot of but few ofus to witness such great changes as Judge CRAIG lived to see, in all of which he either took an active part or a lively interest. He was always liberal with his means to the needy, visited the sick, and sympathized with the misfortunes of his fellow man. In religion, Judge CRAIG was a Universalist. [Rev. Donahey officiated the services and burial was in Forest Hill Cemetery.]
From The Henry County Signal, 8 Apr 1886
About 100 old veterans from the posts at Napoleon, Deshler, Hicksville and Sherwood
attended the G. A. R. meetings Saturday. In the evening, Department commander Brown, of
Zanesville, delivered a stirring harangue to a well-filled opera house. Mr. BROWN spoke
eloquently in favor of a State Soldiers’ Home, and amazed his audience by announcing that 377 old heroes are to be found in Ohio poorhouses and infirmaries.
From the Napoleon Star, 1 Aug 1857
Woman’s Rights. Friend WEIMER [editor]:–On Wednesday oflast week, a company of fair and rather roguish looking young ladies, appeared suddenly before the house of the Pastor in
Ridgeville, making loud demonstrations for admittance. The inmates were taken by surprise artd somewhat embarrassed, but after a while “gave in,” and suffered them to take possession.
The company had assembled for the worthy purpose of assisting the housewife in her sewing, and immediately entered upon their work. They seemed to enjoy themselves well, and at
evening a table was spread bountifully supplied with good things prepared by the visitors.
The result was that several garments were made up or pretty nearly made, and finished afterwards, and the company as a whole proved demonstrately [sic] that in the use of the needle and in getting up a good meal, they were worthy to be placed ere long, in respectable stations as heads of families.
It is interesting to see, Mr. Editor, what companies of the young and fair may be gathered, even in the back woods of Ohio, when any good work is to be accomplished.
Ken Thompson Translations for German Scrapbooks at Library
Several years ago a three-volume set of family scrapbooks was donated to our society. The items were cut from at least one German-language newspaper from this area, but not dated or identified. It is believed the articles
came from Der Defiance Herold (1895 – 1920) and included items regarding families in western Henry Co. and in Twps. transferred to Defiance Co. Ken Thompson is translating the items for us. An index is being published as
space permits. Vol. I translation is completed.

County Orders Book
The Henry County Genealogical Society has published a book ( 2 Vols.) of U.S. Patent Deeds and Ohio State Deeds as these transactions were found in the deed records of the Recorder’s Office in the Court House. An old Orders Book was found in the attic of the Court House which lists original purchasers of land in each township. These records do not always agree with the previously published findings, but are being printed here to help researchers find their ancestors or help prove early entry into the county. Other information (section, amount paid) may be available by contacting the newsletter editor.
