1938 Paul H Weaver and Margaret Glessner Weaver move to Minnesota - Photos from Noah Elwoods Album

Found in the large format black photo album of NE Weaver 1934 - 1939, on page 9, images of the Ed Duncan family of near Dayton Ohio.  On the grass is Jean, with ? girl, and "Babs" Barbara Duncan on the pony with Ed Duncan on the right. Estle Edward Duncan. by NE Weaver ca 1938.

Below,  Bill and Maxine Butler, with Paul H Weaver near Red Wing MN.  The Butler's were friends of Peg and Pete Weavers from Minneapolis.  Peg's best Oberlin friend, Jane Randle Banks introduced them as she met them at a retail school in New York City, where they had all studied after college graduation.  The Butlers, according to Peg Weaver in her memoir, p 37  "For the summer the Butlers had moved to a cottage in Deep Haven on Lake Minnetonka, where we drove to meet them. Being most hospitable, they served cognac, which we had never tasted before and could hardly swallow. Maxine and Bill's old car was named "Petunia". Through the cracks of the floor boards, I could see the pavement rolling by.
One evening we skated on the little lake in Loring Park near our Minneapolis apartment, becoming hysterical over our many spills. With Maxine and Bill we drove to Ladysmith, Wisconsin, to spend a weekend with Maxine's parents, when we saw our first storm-windowns. The Butler and Weavers became very good friends and for several years spent Thanksgivings together, alternating between Minneapolis and Faribault. The Butlers introduced us to Bernie Street an intern at a different Minneapolis hospital. After Pete was practicing in Faribault, he ran into Bernie at a Rice County Medical Society meeting when Bernie was practicing in Northfield, fifteen miles away."

1935- 1938 Noah Elwood Weaver - Ohio State University with son Paul Henry - Tom Roehm Family Dayton Area.

Here in a Noah Elwood Weaver album, 10 x 13 format, I discovered on Page 5 from 1935-38 four images of OSU, Ohio State University as labeled by Edna Weaver.   The first photo above is Tom (Roehm) in a suit, Tommy ? likely his son, with ? woman in a hat with my parents Peg and Paul H "Pete" Weaver, 2,  Tom Roehm, Edna Weaver,  boy, blonde hair, Tommy Roehm? my parents Paul H "Pete" Weaver with his likely new wife, Peg Glessner Weaver somewhere on the OSU Campus. 
3. Business on High Street, 1084 or 2084 High Street, where a Karvasalas (sp) had a candy store.  Looks like Tommy and Tom Roehm in front of the building.   4 - Paul H and Peg Glessner Weaver, Edna and Noah Elwood Weaver somewhere on the OSU Campus.  My parents were married in the fall of 1935, so I sense this was 1836-38.  PHW graduated from OSU in June 1938, and moved to Minnesota that summer.

1931 Tourist Camps Along Lake Erie, Ohio photos by Noah Elwood Weaver

More family camping, along the Lake Erie "coast" in the 1930's as photographed by Noah Elwood Weaver of West Carrollton Ohio. 




Page from the Green Album, at that time Dover Center, now Westlake area west of Cleveland.  From a post card found on line ""Schneider's 12 Miles west of Cleveland on U. S. 20 Halfway between Cleveland and Elyria Schneider's Tourist Camp Dover Center, Ohio Enjoy the Comforts of a Home in the Country, 50 Furnished Cottages, Good Camping Space, Running Water in Every..."

Center Ridge Road entrance to the campgrounds which began operating in 1925 when John Schneider returned from a trip to Florida where he was unable to find accomodations. As reported by his grandson, Clark D. Schneider, John said, "All a tourist needs is a bed." Cabins cost.50 cents for one night's stay. The public restroom and kitchen were added later. Front of picture shows side view of the Barbecue after an addition. The family home is in the background (right) Car dealership is the brick building in front, garage behind dealership.

Looks like the airship Columbia here  ON line I discovered "Upon World War I's conclusion, the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company continued to manufacture zeppelins. The firm used most of these ships to advertise its products. By the late 1920s and the early 1930s, among the firm's completed zeppelins were the PonyPilgrimPuritanVolunteer,MayflowerVigilantDefenderRelianceResoluteEnterpriseRanger, and Columbia. Most of these ships utilized helium to become airborne, while zeppelins originally used heated air or hydrogen. During this period, other companies, especially European ones, were constructing airships to transport passengers, including across the Atlantic Ocean. Goodyear also manufactured two airships, the Akron and the Macon, for the United States military during the early 1930s. During World War II, the company manufactured 104 airships for the military at its Akron facility." http://ohiohistorycentral.org/w/Goodyear_Zeppelin_Company?rec=899

Eicher Family Farm - Miami Twp, Noah Elwood Weaver Black small leather Album 1914 around West Carrollton OHIO


 Back in 2006, before I did any blogging, I was able to scan a high level rez image to folks at Cox Arboretum in West Carrollton. This is what appeared in the Spring 2005 Newsletter on Page 5.   Back in 1914 when this photo was taken, this was farm land with a woods on the south part of the George Eicher farm.   Grateful for the publication of two of Noah Elwood Weaver's photos from one of his album, I call here the black 7 1/4 x 11 1/2 inch album.
Here is the full page article in the Spring 2006 issue from the Cox Arboretum, on Page 5.

Here is the image on page 4 of the Noah Elwood Weaver black leather album, woman and kids, likely on a Sunday walk up on the Eicher farm hill, when now the creek is in the Overlook part of the Cox Arboretum - I will add other photos from a century ago, showing the open land, when Dayton was a city 7 miles to the north. No suburbs back then. :-)

P 2 Black Album,  field with Eicher Farm and Apple orchard behind,  Ca 1914



The Eicher farm in Sect 15 Miami Twp, has the small road about 2/3 mile from West Carrollton.  The x at 1 mile point is the Henry Eicher 2 acre corner, Bellbrook Road and Springboro Pike that is featured elsewhere on the blog.  The Lamb School just off of Holes Creek, may be the Alexanderville School where Edna Eicher is pictured as a teacher.  Less than a mile walk! :-)
