I was trying to find something about Westerville's history and ended up on the Westerville Libraries website.

Westerville has such an interesting history, the Underground Railroad, the temperance movement and the Whisky Wars including the Anti-Saloon League...

Sometimes I think Westerville has a much more colorful history in many ways than some of it's Central Ohio neighbors.

What I was looking for about Westerville was.... I was thinking Westerville was having a birthday. I keep thinking that Dublin and Westerville are the same age.... I thought Worthington was settled in 1803 and Dublin and Westerville were settled in 1810. I was wrong. I guess Westerville's first white settlers arrived in 1806. The Westervelt's arrived in 1816 and got the city named after them.

Dublin Ohio is celebrating it's bicentennial in 2010

Trying to find Westerville's history I found the Westerville Libraries history.

The Westerville Library was not born until 1930

It turns out the Westerville library was born from the temperance movement or had a strong connecton anyway...

"From its beginnings on the first floor of the residence of Purley Baker, temperance leader in the Anti-Saloon League, the Westerville Public Library has been dedicated to meeting the expanding needs of the community. On December 15, 1930, the library opened with Cora Bailey as Librarian, and within several weeks it contained 3,062 volumes and 885 registered borrowers. Within two years, increased books and patrons created the need to move to the second floor of the municipal building which is today a part of the municipal complex on State Street. The library's newly remodeled three rooms included four tables in the main reading room, a "junior" reading room, and a room for processing and repairing books. From the library's inception, educational programming was important. Programs celebrating National Book Week were held, a children's story hour was established and a tour of the library for first graders was initiated, which still happens today."

Today the Anti-Saloon League and the Westerville Library are still linked. The Anti-Saloon League site is on the Westerville Libraries website.

According to the Anti-Saloon League website that organization was active from 1893 to 1933.

Happy belated birthday Westerville!

Dublin Ohio's ghost is mentioned more in the spring than the fall. 

Ghosts and witches are usually more Halloween than May or June but the spirit of a Native American  who lived where Dublin has been for almost 200 years now is often blamed for rain during the Memorial Golf Tournament at Muirfield. 

The Dublin Historical Society shares three stories about Chief Shateyaronyah who was called Chief Leatherlips by the white settlers.

Some would say the Wyandotte Chief known as Leatherlips haunts Dublin.   The Dublin Historical Society has an excerpt from an Associated Press newspaper article in 1997 that tells of the "Curse of Leatherlips"  and says "Though there is no evidence that it is true, local lore has it that the course was built on an Indian burial ground."

Kind of silly really.  Muirfield is far away from the Leatherlips Memorial and Chief Leatherlips was a friend of the white settlers.

Not a fan of golf?

The traffic during the tournament can be wild but the land along the Scioto River in Western Franklin County almost 200 years later has changed a lot from the land the Native American Chief lived on.

Leatherlips a .pdf of three stories from the Dublin Historical Society.

Two earlier renditions of the story of the  execution of Chief Leatherlips by another Wyandotte Chief say the Native Americans believed Chief Leatherlips was a witch.  Chief Leatherlips stayed and was friends with the white settlers and honored the Treaty of Greenville.  Other Wyandottes retreated north to the Sandusky area and blamed their illnesses and hardships in their new home on Chief Leatherlips.

"The Death of Chief Leatherlips" was published in 1929.

"Execution of a Witch Doctor" was "An actual account of Leatherlips’ execution has been taken from an article in a literary magazine called The Hesperian of the West. Otway Curry, who was one of the editors, wrote the article which was published in 1838."

Dublin Ohio's ghost - history

The historical information on the Dublin Historical Societies website is from the book "From Leatherlips to Microchips" writtten by Scott T. Weber.  Weber grew up in Dublin.

The Leatherlips monument is on Riverside Drive in Dublin, close to where he is believed to have been executed by Wyandotte Indians.  Leatherlips was executed in 1810, the same year white people from Franklinton started the settlement which would become Dublin.
