JEFFERSON – TheJefferson Historical Society,42 East Jefferson Street, willshow a video on the CivilWar at 3 p.m., Sunday, July28. The video is about theprison on Johnson’s Island inSandusky Bay. The showingis free to the public. The His-torical Society is handi-capped accessible.

In 1861, the UnitedStates Army leased 40 acresto establish a Prisoner ofWar Depot on Johnson’s Is-land from owner, Leonard B.Johnson, for $500 a year.The island offered easy ac-cess by ship for supplies to

Historical Society to show Johnson’s Islandconstruct and maintain aprison and its detainees.Sandusky Bay offered moreprotection from the elementsthan the other islands,which were all closer toCanada in the event of aprison break.

During the life of theprison, access to the islandwas heavily restricted.

The facility was in opera-tion from April, 1862 to Sep-tember, 1865. During thattime, roughly 10,000 menwere processed into thestockade, most of them Con-federate officer. Twenty-sixwere either generals or offic-ers who became generalsduring or after their impris-onment. Others confined

were privates, guerrillas,bushwhackers, or citizenssuspected of disloyalty to theUnion. The largest numberof prisoners at any one timewas 3,224 in January, 1864.

Of all the men who wereheld at the prison, onlyabout 200 were lost to dis-ease, harsh Ohio winters,and food and fuel shortages.Many of the prisoners at-tempted to escape by walk-ing across Lake Erie intoCanada while only a hand-ful were successful.

In 1990, Johnson’s Islandwas designated a NationalHistoric Landmark. A cause-way was built to connect itto the mainland and theConfederate cemetery is ac-

cessible to the public today.In 1994, Civil War actors

worked from prisoners’ dia-ries to capture what life waslike on the island during theCivil War. Two of the actors– Richard and Norma Waters– are Jefferson residents.Norma is president of theJefferson Historical Society.

“I was a doctor taking offa leg in the video. I was hon-ored to participate,” said Ri-chard.

“It was a lot of hurry upand wait as the filming crewwanted everything to be justright. I was fascinated to seethe technology involved. Andthe actors put everything init to make it appear as realas possible,” added Norma.

Early America ‘Live’BY WILLIAM A. WESTGazette Newspapers

JEFFERSON - It was a trip back to aslower, quieter and perhaps a more gen-teel time during the Early America“Live” event at the Historic JeffersonDepot Village in Jefferson this pastweekend.

The only sounds heard were pleasantconversation and the occasional neigh ofa horse as the visitors walked thegrounds in a leisurely manner.

The teaching moments were every-where. This children could experience aclass in a one-room school house, circa

1890. Heather Kitchen, of Columbus,was dyeing raw wool, baskets were be-ing weaved by Marlo Campbell, FranRechidy and Jane Wilson, all ofJefferson. Kirsten Jones, of Jefferson,demonstrated the long-forgotten methodof using a washboard to clean clothes.

Visitors could participate in a horse-shoe pitching contest and pie-eating con-test. Hohn’s General Store and the J.Warner Tavern were open for business.

“It was great,” Jean Dutton, the driv-ing force behind the Historic JeffersonDepot Village, said. “We had a big turn-out, especially for the dedication of theJ. Warner Tavern Sunday.”

Jim Dutton, of Jefferson, talks to customers at Hohn’s General Store.

Strings, guarding the ap-proaches to the Capt. JohnBrown home, then the firsthouse of the Lenox centerroad leading to Dorset, onpresent route 167. This is astory and a half house.

Mr. Beede and Mr. M.F.Dean told me that the upperpart of the Captain JohnBrown house was lined withsheet iron. There were port-holes permitting views ofanyone approaching and anopportunity to use guns.

Information Given byM.F. Dean

M.F. Dean told me that,“I was present at the Capt.John Brown house with mysister, Miss. Fannie Dean, ofJefferson, when UnitedStates Marshall M. Johnsonof Cleveland was brought tothe house by S.D. Dann, apro-slavery democrat fromJefferson. They had receivedpermission to leave a sub-poena for Capt. John BrownJr. to appear before the Sen-ate Investigation Committeeat Washington on theMarshal’s promise not to tryto arrest the Captain. Hewas then safely hidden inthe Cowles house atAustinburg Center. I wastold that he was there hid-den and that wall paper hadbeen pasted over the doorleading to the attic. My sis-ter, Fannie was at the housethat day. She was nursingBrown boy, who had brokenone of his legs.”

Mr. Dean was one of thefour men who on the nightof July 22, 1859 took fromAlex Fobes farm in Waynefour wagon loads of war ma-terial, brought by JohynBrown from Kansas in thewinter of 1858 and firststored in King Brother ’sshop in Cherry Valley.

Partial List of War Mate-

rial Found at Kennedy FarmIn the evidence given to

the Senate Committee byArchibald E. Kitzmiller, is alist of “material” found at theKennedy farm in Maryland,after the raid.

The above list is only apart of the war material,taken from Ashtabulacounty where it had beenstored in a sugar house onAlex Fobes’ farm (and otherplaces).

Citizens of the Harper’sFerry neighborhood helpedthemselves to many of theSharp rifles and revolvers,before the balance weretaken over by the authori-ties.

The testimony was giventhat the Sharp rifles wereworth about $25 each, one ofthe boxes of carbines wasmarked T.B.Eldridge, Mt.Pleasant, Iowa.” These hadbeen shipped to Ashtabulaby rail in coffin boxes, thensledded to Cherry Valleypassing through Jefferson,en route.

ASHTABULA – Motor-ized wheelchairs have thesame mandates as pedestri-ans. This means they mustfollow the same laws. Butthat is not always the case,J.P. Ducro, IV told Councilduring its regular meetingMonday night, July 15.

“(Could you) expound alittle bit on the high degreeof motorized wheel chairsacting like a motor vehicle,”Ducro asked City Solicitor

Motorized wheelchairsmust obey traffic laws

Michael Franklin. “I’m sureit’s not legal and I’m sureit’s not safe.”

Ducro added that he isapproached by citizens on aregular basis who are con-cerned about this issue.

Franklin said that mo-torized wheel chairs aretreated exactly the same aspedestrians under Ohio lawand that they must followthe same rules.

“Where a sidewalk isavailable, and it’s reason-able to do so, a person, a pe-destrian, or in this case, a

motorized wheel chair is touse a sidewalk,” Franklinsaid.

In the event of brokensidewalks or exposed treeroots that may interferewith the walk way, then thestreet may be used,Franklin said. But the per-ception of inconvenienceand safety varies among in-dividuals so that is wherethe discussion starts, headded.

“The city has spent hun-dreds of thousands of dol-lars” on the sidewalks so

that everyone can safelyuse them, said Franklin.

Ashtabula City Chief ofPolice Robert Stell said thathe knows of no occasionwhere a person operating amotorized wheelchair hasbeen cited, but that pedes-trians are from time to timeissued citations for walkingin the street. Stell said hewould speak to his officersabout issuing warnings tothose in motorized wheelchairs who may not beaware of the laws in theState of Ohio.

GENEVA – For the last 20years, longtime Geneva resi-dents Ed and Judy Fleisherhave been in the coffee busi-ness part time, selling via theinternet and to some local re-tail establishments. But that’sall changed since the openingof their cafe – Scribblers Cof-fee Company - at 388 SouthBroadway more than twoweeks ago, in the formerGeneva Hospital building.

“My wife and I both retiredand it was a goal of ours thatwe would gear up full time,”said Ed Fleisher.

After reading an articleabout how Starbucks was tak-ing over the coffee culture inSeattle two decades ago, thepair flew out there to see whatall the fuss was about.

“There were espresso cartseverywhere. They were sellingit in the gas stations,” he said.

Scribblers Coffee Company open for businessAfter their visit to the

West Coast, Ed flew toSan Francisco to receivetraining and to purchasea roaster. And the rest ishistory.

“We started roastingat our home,” he said.

As both Ed and Judywere English majors, theychose the name Scribblersfrom the coffee club of18th century writers whomet at Wills Coffee Houseso long ago.

Just as they did before,Scribblers offers a long listof single origin coffeesfrom Africa, CentralAmerica, and SouthAmerica. They alsomingle the single origin coffeesinto secret blends such as Cov-ered Bridge Blend.

“We do a smorgasbord offlavored coffees. Our mostpopular is Rainforest Nut,” hesaid.

Now that the cafe is open,

the couple has expanded theirofferings to include soups, sal-ads, and sandwiches.

Until the ribbon cuttingTuesday morning, they’ve beenlow key as they wanted to makesure the staff was performingas they had intended.

“We’ve done no advertising.It’s all been word of mouth sofar,” he said.

Even still, Scribblers hasbeen relatively busy.

“We’re open from 7 a.m. to7 p.m., seven days a week. Ev-ery day except major holidays.”
