Re: Hines/Hinds
I wish you would keep the check. It was so little for "so much".
Our Hines family started in Monroe Co. when Sarah Dearth marr John Hines, abt 1831. They had ten children, and he died abt 1852, we believe in Pleasants Co. WVA. That is why we have hopes that Sarah & John Nalley's son, William Hines Nalley's family may have knowledge abt him. But we have the most names of children of his sister, Rosine Margaret Nalley Lowe. They live in Monroe Co. and Belmont Co.

Sample Primary Ballots Are Out
Thursday, March 23, 1916
Lena s collection
Typed by Betty Lendon Matson
Sample ballots for the primaries of April 25 have been mailed by Secretary of State Hildebrandt to the various county election boards, which bodies will then contract for a supply of ballots for use of the voters. There are two ballots for each of the two leading parties, one containing the names of candidates for presidental and vice presidential nominations, on which the voters will designate their preferences, and one containing the names of candidates for delegates and alternates to both the state and national conventions of both parties. Each county will fill in its own names for delegates and alternates from the congressional district to the national convention and from the counties to the state conventions. The Republican presidential preference ballot contains the names of Theodore E. Burton of Ohio and William Grant Webster, a Chicago man, for president, but carries no names for vice president. On the Democratic ballot Woodrow Wilson is the only candidate for president, but there is a contest on for vice presidential nomination. Thomas R. Marshall of Indiana and Frank S. Monnett of Columbus,Ohio, are the aspirants. There are five Democratic candidates for delegates-at-large and seven Republican candidates for such nominations.
History of Oblinger-Billman Store
Monroe County Beacon
October 21, 1982
By: Grace Billman Stallings
Westerville,Ohio
After reading the article on the stores in Lewisville, which I was glad to get, I thought you might like to hear about another store.
The Oblinger Store was first owned by Mr. Packenburg, who sold to Frank and Charles Oblinger. Clem, another brother, bought Frank's share. Later Charles became sole owner, around Sept. 1, 1877. The old ledgers which were the charge account books, that I have, start back to Oct. 2, 1863, and it shows it changed hands about that date. I have all four of the old, thick, leather bound ledgers.
The two story front of the store was shipped from Germany.
Oblinger sold one third interest in the store to Marion Robinson, whose wife was Eunice Fieock and one third interest to F.R. Billman. In July 1918, Mr. Robinson sold his interest to Billman, since he entered the war.
F. R. Billman had worked in the oil field for five years before starting to work for Mr. Oblinger on Aug.18, 1907. He had married Ollie Fisher on May 29, 1907. They had one daughter.
Mr. Oblinger's store was a general store and he also bought tobacco, and had packing houses, one of which is still standing across the street from the former Egger's Hardware Store. It was later sold to Mr. Egger. Before the new high school was built, the boys played basketball games there using gas stoves to heat the building.
In those days people would deal at the store using tobacco and other goods as their payment. Billman bought chickens and turkeys, as did The Fieock's Store. Two weeks before Thanskgiving and Christmas were big days for the farmers who would bring their turkeys to the store, which were picked up by a wholesale company in Pittsburg.
Mr. Oblinger made his home with Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bott who lived in the big palatial house which he built next to the store. Mr. Oblinger was born May 19, 1848 and died Dec. 10, 1920.
Mr. Billman bought the store in Jan.,1921. He had several different clerks, but John Billman, his father, and Clayton English worked the longest. English worked for 24 years before going with Nationwide Insurance.
F. R., as he was known, had to retire because of failing health and sold to George Radon who took over June 1, 1953. F.R. passed away Nov. 22, 1953.
The store burned down Sept.7, 1956. I'm so glad Dad didn't live to see it burn, as it was hard enough on my mother.
***NOTE***If anyone has any other interesting articles of places in Lewisville, I would be more than glad to have a copy, also a picture of the Bott house. I have half a picture.

New Half Dollar
February 8,1917
The new half dollar is now in circulation. On the obverse side of the new coin is a full length figure of Liberty bearing in her left arm branches of laurel and oak, "symbols of civil and military glory." The word "Liberty" in large capitals is engraved around the outer edge of the coin while on the left of the goddess are the words "In God we trust" in small letters. On her right is the rising sun. Beneath her feet is the date 1916. She is clothed in the folds of the stars and stripes. On the reverse side appears an upstanding American Eagle perched on a crag with wings outspread indicative of the strong spirit of material defense possessed by America. In front of the eagle is a pine sapling are the words "E Pluribus Unum" engraved in small letters. Engraved around the upper edge of the coin are the words "United States of America" and on the lower edge "Half Dollar"

Increased Pensions
October 25, 1917
Payment of increases in pensions to widows of men who fought in the Civil War, Spanish War, and Phillippine Insurrection, provided by an Amendment to the pension law attached to the Soldier's and Sailor's Insurance Bill, will begin with disbursments November 4. The pensions were raised to $25 a month, the increase ranging from $5 to $13 a month.
Commissioner Salzgaber of the pension bureau, said the applications are not required from those affected by the amendment. He made it plain that only widows of officers and enlisted men of the navy, navy and marine corps, who served in The Civil and Spanish Wars or in The Phillippine Insurrection are entitled to the increase. It does not include widows of men of the War of 1812.

First Monroe County Fair
Held in Woodsfield in 1851
Published----1966
The following article which was first printed after The Woodsfield Centennial Celebration, in 1914 was given to us by Sheriff Sulsberger, just in time for us to compare the first Fair with the gigantic 115th Fair which will be held August 25 thru 28.
"Trace of how many years The Monroe County Fair has been held had almost been lost track of. It is now learned by some of the visitors at The Homecoming and Centennial Celebration, (1914) that the first Fair was held in Woodsfield sixty-three years ago, and some of the older residents and a few visitors were present and took part in the first Woodsfield Fair.
" The first Fair was held in 1851 in The Old Davenport Warehouse that stood just west of the old cemetery. Many interesting things are found concerning the event in a letter written by Mrs. Elizabeth Hunter, now of Columbus, to her sister, Virginia Randolf who later became Mrs. Walton ,the mother of (Berl ?) Randolph Walton who made two interesting addresses before large Homecoming celebration. Mrs. Hunter is here and recalls what a pleasant time they had at the first Woodsfield Fair.
" In those days there was no fair association, and no races. It was a Farmers Fair and there were many exhibits from the citizens of this section.
" A large moss house was built and arranged by Emma D. Jones, who afterwards married Prof. Smith. She was a sister of The Jones sisters, and Mrs. W.T. Morris, Mrs. Margaret Davenport and Lottie Kirkbride, now Mrs. Dr. John Martin, of Caldwell, who was here at The Homecoming. The late Amandy Jane Smith furnished canary birds for the interior of the house. The tobacco house was beautifully decorated with flowers and streamers and there were four long tables, one filled with jellies and the others with needle work and farm displays.
" Joseph Witten, of Witten, who was in attendance at The Homecoming, was also present at the first Fair and with him were his sisters, Temperance, who afterwards became Mrs. James R. Morris,
and Deborah.
" Miss Frank, now Mrs. Peter Diehl, of this city, was unable to attend the first Fair as she was teaching music at Clarington at the time."

Powhatan Point Man Receives Purple Heart
Cieszeski, Shane
Area man receives Purple Heart
By MICHAEL SCHULER, Times Leader Staff Writer
A POWHATAN Point man and U.S. Army Reserve soldier was presented with one of the nation's highest honors a service member can earn for duty to the county - the Purple Heart medal. United States Representative Bob Ney and United States Senator George Voinovich were at the Belmont Correctional Institute near Saint Clairsville Tuesday to give correctional officer Shane Cieszeski, 33, the medal almost a year after he suffered an injury while serving in Iraq as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Cieszeski, who still serves in the Army Reserve as a sergeant with the 305th Military Police Company, United States Army Reserve, in Wheeling was deployed to Iraq in May 2003 where he went to work at the Baghdad Police Headquarters. He actually was called up and deployed with the 307th Military Police Company out of New Kensington, Pennsylvania, when sent to serve overseas. While on patrol in November 2003, Cieszeski suffered a concussion-type wound when insurgents exploded a device. The wound caused Cieszeski to suffer some ear problems that he still has today. During the presentation at the prison, Cieszeski's wife, Michelle, and his grandfather, Frank Cieszeski joined Cieszeski, who appeared in his uniform as a correctional officer. "This is overdue, but obviously earned," Ney said about the awarding of the Purple Heart medal to Cieszeski. "We thank you. This is why America is great, because of people like Shane." Next, Voinovich spoke, first reading the certificate that accompanied the medal, that explaining it was first issued by General George Washington in 1782. Cieszeski now joins the rates of those who have given while serving the country. "Congratulations, you represent our finest of the great folk here with your service to our county," Voinovich said. "I've tried to emphasis over again the importance of success in Iraq. You were fighting for our homeland. Thank you very much.

Woodrum, Davey
Teen Killed in Route 78 Crash
Published--October 28, 2004
A Lewisville teen was killed October 22 when the car in which he was riding went out of control at the bottom of Hurd Run Hill,
in Adams Township near Cameron.
Davey Woodrum, 15, was ejected through the front windshield and pronounced dead at the scene by Monroe County Coroner,
Jay Seidler.
The accident happened shortly after 3 p.m. when the east-bound vehicle went off the right side of the road, stuck a guardrail, overturned and came to rest on its right side against a tree.
The six students involved had just left The Monroe Central High School-Swiss Hills Career Center Campus.
The 15-year-old was riding in the center front seat of the 1989 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, driven by Heath W. Long, 17, of Cameron,
according to Sergeant Jason Greenwood, of the Ohio State Patrol, Saint Clairsville Post.
Long, also ejected, was transported to Wetzel County Hospital and was later transported by medical helicopter to Morgantown.
None of the other others in the vehicle appeared to have life threating injuries, according to Trooper Dennis Wilcox.
Other youth in the vehicle were Dustin W. Woodrum, brother of Davey Woodrum; Melissa Grigg, 16, Powhatan Point; Isaac Pittman 18,
Beallsville and Dustin Shook, 17, New Matamoras, who was also ejected..
According to The Ohio Highway Patrol, only one passenger, Isaac Pittman, was wearing a seat belt. Pittman was riding in the right front seat.
The accident remained under investigation at press time Tuesday.
According to The Ohio Highway Patrol report the automobile Long was driving was owned by his mother, Teresa L. Long.
According to Sergeant Greenwood the vehicle was being driven with a small emergency "donut" spare tire on the right rear. He said uneven air pressure in the tires affected the control of the vehicle, but speed was the major factor. According to Greenwood the vehicle
was traveling 50 to 55 miles per hour. "That's too fast for that turn," said Greenwood.
Greenwood said that once investigation into the accident is complete, it will be presented to the prosecuting attorney's office if
deemed necessary.

"Men About Town"
Sulsberger, Francis J. "Tink"
by--Martha Ackerman Staff Writer
Published--Thursday June 17, 2004
Who is better known in Monroe County than former sheriff, Francis J. "Tink" Sulsberger? Very few, I would assume, because Tink held that elected office for eight terms and filled the unexpired terms of Homer Antill and Robert Wilson. He is one of two 2004 "Men About Town" chosen to be honored by The Beacon.
When Tink decided to run for sheriff in 1948, he left a job in Canton, where he had just been promoted to engineer with the Pennsylvania Railroad. That job had come after the war when he served, beginning in 1942, with the combat engineers and then the railroad battalion, serving in Russia, the Middle East and the European Theatre. His job was to carry supplies, troops, refugees and prisioners. He was even called upon as " engineer in charge" to transport the King and Queen of Persia on an important trip.
During his days in the military, Tink, a 1941 graduate from Woodsfield High School, also distinguished himself as the Army's welter weight boxing champion of the Middle East. During his high school career, he lettered 13 times in sports and was captain of the football team.
Pursuing the office of Monroe County Sheriff came quite naturally to Tink. His grandfather, Louis Sulsberger held that office for two terms and an uncle served as sheriff in the 1930's.
When Tink took office in 1949, the sheriff's entire appropriation for the department was $9,140. That included his salary of $110. a month. Today, the sheriff's budget is a little less than one million dollars.
In 1953 he was voted "Outstanding Sheriff of the Year" when he made arrests on three murders within 24 hours. He was also honored as "Outstanding Law Enforcement Officer" and has been recognized by the Ohio House of Representatives in 1953 and again in 1978. When Tink assumed the office of sheriff in 1949, he was the youngest sheriff in the United States. When he retired in 1984, he was the oldest. During his long career, he apprehended people found guilty of crimes ranging from cockfighting, drug trafficking to murder. Tink solved his first murder case, that of Ben Shook of Antioch, in 1955.
In the early days, Tink requested two-way radios for the sheriff's office.At that time most of the police communications were done by telephone. "You just don't make telephone calls from cars," he said. How times and communications have changed !
Tink was active in the Buckeye State Sheriff's Association, serving as director for the Southeast Ohio District and served as president
for one year. At his suggestion, Ohio license plates now carry the county in which they are issued, making , he said, identification much easier. At one time he considered running on the Democratic ticket for state representative, but decided against it.
Tink has met many public officials during his years of serving Monroe County. Governor Richard Celeste became a personal friend. While picking up John Glenn for a speaking engagement in Monroe County, Glenn told Tink to slow down because he was driving to fast on State Route 800 ! This coming from a former astronaut ! Tink also has a personal letter from the late President, Ronald Regan. The
former sheriff was asked to appear on "talk shows", but according to his daughter Margie Hannahs, refused because he said the only people he cared about were the people he served in Monroe County..
Tink's wife, Rosalie, served at her husband's side as matron of the jail throughout the many years, a most confining job. She served thousands of meals to prisioners, cleaned, did laundry, all the while rearing their four children, Susan, Tom, Margie and Richard. Rosalie was always at her husband's side, no doubt worrying every day as she went about her duties.
There were a few times that Tink carried a gun and shot it. One was in the early 60's when a call came in concerning Riesbeck's Market on Lewisville Road. He answered that call wearing only his pants, but, as if by intuition, Rosalie handed the gun to him as he went out the door. This was about the fourth breaking and entering at Riesbeck's but this time it was a professional who, it turned out, was about to have his seventh shoot out with police. "He just kept shooting at me," said Tink who returned fire, hitting the burglar three times.
One close call came when the sheriff was going to pick up a man was obviously unbalanced. Various methods had been tried for several days including tear gas, when Tink decided to try going through an upstairs window. He was just nearing the porch when a gun fired through the window and something hit Tink over the eye. The sheriff recalled there was a lot of blood flowing and he really didn't know how bad it was. He was lying there wondering if the next shot was going to" be the one" since he was an easy target. But the next shot came from inside the house as the man turned the gun on himself. There were other dangerous situations, but fate had other plans for this renowned sheriff.
