The origin of the Ursuline Sisters dates back to 1535 in Brescia, Italy when St. Angela Merici of Desenzano formed a company of women who through their relationship with God, responded to the needs of the People. The Toledo Ursulines continue to carry on St. Angela's legacy of love for one another and outreach to those who need them most. In the 1840s, Father Amadeus Rappe, chaplain of the Ursulines in Boulogne-sur-Mer, France, came to northern Ohio and in 1847 was appointed Bishop of all northern Ohio, with Cleveland as his Episcopal see. Bishop Rappe brought Ursulines from France to Cleveland and later asked them for help to supply religious teachers elsewhere. On December 12, 1854, the Toledo Ursulines were formed when five Ursuline Sisters arrived in Toledo to bring Catholic education to immigrant adults and children here. Four days after their arrival, the Sisters opened their doors to an eager group of 200 pupils at St. Francis de Sales. In 1863, the Cleveland Community sent nuns to teach in Tiffin, Ohio and an independent Ursuline community was established. In 1910, Toledo became a separate diocese from Cleveland. The two independent communities of Ursulines in Toledo and Tiffin, Ohio were joined together in 1913 with the Motherhouse designated as the Ursuline Convent of the Sacred Heart in Toledo. Until 1975, the Tiffin Ursuline Convent maintained a home for the Sisters teaching at Calvert High School and St. Mary's and St. Joseph's parochial schools. As consecrated women religious, the Ursuline Sisters day continue to unfold the spirit and vision of St. Angela Merici for the 21st Century through ministries in accordance with their mission to promote the mission of Jesus by being available for any work of charity.
St. Joseph Catholic Church. , St. Joseph Catholic Church has been located here since the parish's formation in 1845. Tiffin was established by Josiah Hedges in 1822, and shortly after, many German Catholic families began to settle in the area. They formed part of St. Mary's parish until 1845, when they obtained permission from Bishop John Purcell of the Diocese of Cincinnati to organize as the separate congregation of St. Joseph. In May 1845, parishioners bought two acres of land at the conjunction of Melmore and South Washington Streets. Within the month, they laid the cornerstone for a 40-foot by 66-foot brick church that would be completed by August of that year. As the congregation grew, Rev. Joseph Bihn, pastor from 1856 to 1873, saw the need for a new church.
The original St. Joseph's was demolished in 1860 but the parish built a new Gothic-style church at the same location. Consecrated in September 1862, the new building measured 140 feet by 60 feet with a 180-foot-high spire. Construction cost only $25,000 because parishioners furnished most of the labor and building materials. In April 1934, lightning struck the steeple, causing a fire that destroyed much of the church and left standing only the walls and the sanctuary, which is the location of the altar and is the most important part of a Catholic church. The congregation raised $200,000 to rebuild, a significant amount during the Great Depression when much of the country was under financial strain. The reconstructed church was blessed and dedicated in September 1937.

Founder of Tiffin 1821.
Early Electric Illumination, 1884. , When St. Paul’s Methodist Episcopal Church was dedicated on January 6, 1884, an ornate brass chandelier presented by the Edison Electric Light Company provided illumination for the ceremony. Wired for electric lighting before its completion, St. Paul’s was one of the first churches in the nation lighted by Edison lamps. The Tiffin Edison Electric Illuminating Company, the first central electric power station in Ohio and the tenth in the United States, was built in Tiffing in late 1883. With a 100 horsepower boiler, a 120 horsepower engine and two dynamos, it supplied direct current sufficient to light 1,000 lamps. It stood two blocks north of this site. The original brass “electrolier” still hangs in the sanctuary inside.
William Harvey Gibson.
General Gibson believed the two most important things in life were piety and patriotism. In his creed they were linked in indissoluble union. His piety was broad enough to include every creed, his patriotism wide enough to cover the whole country. He once said to me that he put the flag just beneath the cross. That, he said, was high enough for it. His name will be remembered as long as patriotism is revered. , Wm. McKinley. , "I have just finished reading The Life of Patrick Henry. I closed the book and asked myself: 'Have we any man living like him?' Only one figure arose before me and that was our own Eloquent Gibson." , Rutherford B. Hayes

Scene at Melmore July 4 A.D. 1843 , , A soldier of the War of the Revolution had a seat upon the platform towards the close of his address, Wm. H. Gibson, the Orator of the day who was but twenty-two years of age, grasping the folds of the American Flag, and with his hand on the head of the aged soldier, said; "This flag is ours! It is kissed by the sunlight of God. It floats over a free and independent people and is honored throughout the word, but they who gave it to us are passing away. Reverently I place this flag on the brow of my friend Armold. , For it was he and his compatriots who gave in to us. These white stripes tell the purity of their devotion; those red stripes speak of the blood shed by patriots fallen at his side. These stars, shining from that field of blue, tell to all nations what they won-and all this is ours! This soldier's race is nearly run. He will soon go to meet the brave spirits of comrades with whom he served in the paths of the mountains and in the storm-swept plains of the valleys but sacred will be his dust.

State's First Female Lawyers. ,
Side A , In 1873, Tiffin's Cronise sisters became the first women admitted to the Ohio Bar. At that time, Ohio did not provide for the admission of women attorneys. On April 4th 1873, Nettie Cronise applied to the district court. Despite vigorous opposition, leading local attorneys, including William Harvey Gibson and George Seney, supported Nettie's application. Ironically, at the same time of Nettie's admission, the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed Illinois' denial of admission to the bar of another woman based on gender. Regardless, Nettie opened the door for the admission of women to the bar of Ohio. Six months later, Florence, Nettie's younger sister, was admitted. Florence was also the first female notary public in the state. Together the sisters opened the first female-owned law practice in Ohio, N. and F. Cronise
Side B , On August 24, 1874 Nettie married former classmate Nelson Lutes and in 1880 the two began to practice law together as Lutes and Lutes, Nettie and Nelson raised three daughters Evlyn, Ellnor, and Lillian. Evlyn became a lawyer and joined Lutes and Lutes in 1905, five years after Nelson's death. Nettie attended Heidelberg College and graduated from the State Normal School in Illinois. Florence graduated from Heidelberg College in 1865 and was named valedictorian of her class. The other two sisters attended a national gathering in Chicago of women at the World's Columbian Exposition in 1893. At the end of the gathering, Florence was elected president of the new National League of Women Lawyers. Nettie, who was nominated for the position deferred the office in favor of her sister.
The Ritz Theater. When The Ritz Theatre first opened on December 20, 1928, downtown Tiffin had three theaters in operation catering to an eager public. Original builders Dan Kerwin and Adam Ritzler (after whom the theater was named) dreamed of a movie palace more grand and beautiful than anything the area had ever seen. Completed in just nine months, The Ritz was instantly dubbed "Tiffin's quarter-million-dollar movie palace.” Renovated in 1998, The Ritz currently operates as a vibrant performing arts center hosting local, regional and national touring artists.

Founding of Tiffin. In 1822 Josiah Hedges purchased the land that would become Tiffin from the Delaware Land Office. By March, this land, situated across the Sandusky River from old Fort Ball (War of 18 12) was surveyed and platted by General James Hedges, the brother of Josiah. These events marked the founding year for the city of Tiffin, which was named after Edward Tiffin, Ohio's first governor and a friend of Josiah Hedges. The legislature commissioned Thomas Henford, Isaac Minor, and Cyrus Spink to establish Tiffin as the permanent seat of Justice for Seneca County on March 25, 1822.

Rezin W. Shawhan and the Seneca County Museum. The Seneca County Museum is the former home of local businessman Rezin W. Shawhan. Born in 1811, Shawhan arrived in Tiffin in 1832 and opened a store with his brother Lorenzo. The store’s success enabled Rezin to expand his interests into real estate and banking. Upon his death in 1887, his estate was valued in excess of $1 million. Much of it was bequeathed to his second wife, Della Watson Shawhan. He also left bequests to Heidelberg College, the library, and Tiffin’s churches. The Greek Revival-style house, built in 1853, was passed down through the family, ending with Lynn Troxel who, in 1941, donated it to the county for use as a museum. The house is part of the Fort Ball-Railroad Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.

Camp Ball. In July 1813 a detachment of soldiers under Lt. Col. James V. Ball built a supply fort here along the military road that ran along the west bank of the Sandusky River. Ball chose this site for its large spring of cold water, which he enclosed within the stockade. Following the War of 18 12, settler Erastus Bowe established a house and tavern on the site of Camp Ball. This settlement, in 1817, marks the beginning of both Seneca County and the city of Tiffin.

Tiffin Train Depot, also, Mad River and Lake Erie Railroad. A) In 1858, the Sandusky Dayton Cincinnati Railroad Company took control of the Mad River and Lake Erie Railroad line and built the Tiffin passenger depot in 1862, which served as one of the six railroad depots in the Tiffin area. As a result of the rail lines, Seneca County experienced a real estate boom. Over the next several decades, the Mad River and Lake Erie Railroad changed ownership at least four times. In 1892, the Tiffin depot came under the control of the Big Four Railroads (Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago, and St. Louis) until services ended between Berwick and Sandusky, including Tiffin, on July 1, 1938, when the ralroad failed to make a profit. The depot is part of the Fort Ball-Railroad Area Historic District that is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places.
B) By the mid 1830's, Ohio had developed a canal system that linked Lake Erie in the north to the Ohio River in the south. Despite the success of the canals, transportation companies searched for other methods to traverse the state. Tehy found their answer in the railroad industry, which proved to be much faster, cheaper, and more reliable than canals. located on Lake Erie, Sandusky, Ohio was a major trading depot in the area. Plans were made to connect Sandusky to Cincinnati's port on the Ohio River. On September 4, 1835, construction began in Sandusky on the Mad River and Lake Erie Railroad line, forming the first railroad line located entirely in Ohio. The railroad reached Tiffin by 1841 and Springfield by 1848, where it merged with the Little Miami Railroad line, connecting Lake Erie to the Ohio River.
Camp Noble. This is the site of Camp Noble, named for Congressman Warren P. Noble, who obtained the officer’s commission for William H. Gibson as the colonel of the 49th Ohio Volunteer Infantry. Companies of 100 began to arrive here August 12, 1861 from Crawford, Hancock, Putnam, Sandusky, Seneca, and Wyandot Counties. On August 20, they were mustered into Federal service as the 49th Ohio Volunteer Infantry. Nicknamed the “Buckeye Vanguard” by Col. Gibson, training continued until September 9, 1861, when the 49th was ordered to Camp Dennison, near Cincinnati, Ohio. , Departing Tiffin with 980 men, the 49th was in the battles of Shiloh, Corinth, Stone River Liberty Gap, Chickamauga, Mission Ridge, Resaca, Pickett’s Mill, Columbia, Kennesaw Mountain, Franklin, Nashville, and duty in Texas. The 49th returned to Tiffin December 31, 1865 with 201 men. A total of 1,552 names appeared on the rolls of the 49th. Of the total, 206 men killed or mortally wounded, 165 died of disease, 14 perished in rebel captivity, and 616 discharged because of Wounds or disease. The regiment traveled 4,600 miles during its service.

Kernan , The National Orphans Home (1896-1944) was a haven for children of deceased members of the Junior Order United American Mechanics, a fraternal lodge. Tiffin was selected from among 12 sites for the orphanage. The first four children, the Van Arsdale Family, arrived at their new home, a small unpretentious frame house, on August 18, 1896. The Jr. Home commonly known as "The Home", struggled mightily until Charles H. Kernan, 34, an orphan boy himself, and a New York educator, arrived as superintendent Sept. 1, 1901. He was greeted by 92 children and is employees. He oversaw the rapid growth of the tiny institution on the banks of the Sandusky River, into the largest orphanage in this country. The Jr. Home attained a peak population of 150 children in 1931-32. , And over 5000 children resided there until it closed on Sept. 28, 1944. There were 52 buildings on the 1200 acre campus including a chapel, hospital, library, nursery, dining hall, gymnasium, grade school, high school, 1000 seat auditorium, power plant, stadium, greenhouse, cannery, laundry, bake shop, post office, bank, outdoor pool, and a large dairy farm. Some 500 acres were under cultivation scattered amid the spacious campus were 23 residential cottages. It was a self supporting, self-sufficient village. The home operated an innovative academic-vocational school system which elicited great praise from state and national educators, and was the forerunner of school systems widely used today. Vocational trades included printing, carpentry, wood-working, weaving, shoe repair, baking, plumbing, auto mechanics, farming, gardening, painting, nursing, home economics, and domestic and secretarial sciences, business, commercial and per-college academic courses of study were available. Paramount in the regimen of child to adult development was repeated emphasis on family centered life precepts of God, country, virtue, liberty and patriotism were instilled through a large professional staff of dedicated teachers, instructors and counselors. The physical and spiritual well being of the students was not neglected, as a medical staff and chaplain were available.

Mercy Hospital of Tiffin, also, The Sisters of Mercy Come to Tiffin. , The Pastor of St. Mary’s Church, Rev. Thomas F. Conlon, met with the newly appointed bishop of the Toledo Diocese, the Right Rev. Joseph Schrembs, to discuss building a charity hospital for the community. Community leaders and physicians promoted the necessity of a hospital that cared for all people regardless of race, creed, or color. Seven acres of land were purchased from Miss Emma J. Bowe on West Market Street for the construction of a four-story fireproof building. Designed by local businessman George W. Netcher, the new hospital cost approximately $75,000. At the hospital’s dedication on October 26, 1913, Bishop Schrembs praised the people of Tiffin saying, “I appealed to the public-spirited citizens and my appeal did not fall upon deaf ears, as this building testifies.” , Aware of the fine hospital work performed by the Sisters of Mercy, Bishop Joseph Schrembs requested that three Sisters from their convent in Grand Rapids, Michigan be sent to administer the new hospital and convent. Mother Bernardine McMullen, Sister Anthony McMullen, Sister DeChantel Lyons arrived in Tiffin on May 11, 1912. Founded in Dublin, Ireland in 1831 by the Venerable Catherine McAuley, the Sisters of Mercy’s calling is to care for those in need. At the dedication of Mercy Hospital, Bishop Schrembs remarked, “It is not enough to have a building, but there must be a competent corps in charge of it. The Sisters have proven themselves devoted to all. Their duties are prompted by the truest charity.”

Meadowbrook Park. Side A: Meadowbrook Park began as a Tiffin, Fostoria and Eastern Electric Railway plan to draw weekend riders. Laura Stephenson Sneath, wife of a major company stakeholder, led the park development. Originally north of Wolf Creek, Meadowbrook included a baseball diamond and a 1902 dance pavilion. In 1923, William Richards purchased the buildings and leased the land from Henry Matthews of Matthews Boat Company. The pavilion was destroyed by fire under suspicious circumstances on October 12, 1925, but no one was charged. James Garfield Haugh, president of the Gem Manufacturing Company, purchased the land in 1925. (Continued on other side), Side B: (Continued from other side) In 1929, Haugh moved the park to the south side of Wolf Creek where he added more amenities. A second dance pavilion, completed in 1931, was destroyed by fire on August 19, 1933. Again, despite suspicious circumstances, no party was suspected. The 7,000 square foot Redwood Ballroom was completed in 1934. Using state-of-the art trusses that allowed for the large open floor space and domed roof, the ballroom was engineered to reduce echo. Although the materials were supplied by Haugh’s company, he died on October 4, 1933, and never saw the third dance pavilion finished.

Fort Seneca. In the 1820s a general store and a grist mill were established near this site, where the famous Scioto-Sandusky Indian Trail neared the Sandusky River. The settlement was first known as McNutt's, later as Swope's Corners. The village of Fort Seneca was surveyed January 14, 1836. It's name was derived from Gen. Harrison's War of 18 12 fort, which was located a few miles down stream.

Native American Habitation. In earliest recorded history, the Erie tribe inhabited this land. The Iroquois Confederacy, particularly the Senecas, annihilated the Eries between 1650 and 1656. This area then became the "hunting grounds" of the Senecas and Mohawks. In 1730 Wyandots moved into this Ohio Country south of the great lake. By 1755 the Wyandots shared habitation here with the Senecas and Mohawks and later with remnants of other tribes. This land became a part of a Seneca Reservation by the Treaty of 1817. In 1831 the U.S. government relocated the Seneca tribe to land west of the Mississippi River.

New Riegel Parish and Convent. , St. Boniface Catholic Church began in 1834 as a mission of several area churches and in 1836, the parish built its first church. in 1844 Bishop John Purcell commissioned Swiss born Father Francis de Sales Brunner, a Missionary of the Precious Blood, to take pastoral charge of St. Boniface. Under the leadership of Father Brunner, the Missionaries of the Precious Blood, established in Italy in 1815, and the Sisters of the Precious Blood, founded in Switzerland in 1834, began ministry here in New Riegel (Wolfcreek) in 1844. Over two hundred acres of land were purchased for the priests, brothers, and sisters. The Missionaries brought spiritual support, farm labor, and education to the German immigrants of New Riegel. The sisters began their ministry of prayer in the convent, Mary at the Crib, on December 22, 1844., A school was opened in the Sisters of the Precious Blood convent whwere both orphan children and boarding girls received a Christian education. The orphanage closed in 1912 and later the sisters taught in the New Riegel Public School until 1976. A Cloister was established in the convent for the Sisters of the Precious Blood in 1954 and closed in 1979. Responding to the needs of the time the sisters initiated the sale of the convent and property in 1979. In 2001 fire destroyed the former convent. In 2003 the Missionaries of the Precious Blood returned the pastoral care of the parish to the Diocese of Toledo. In July 2005 St. Boniface Parish along with St. Peter, Alvada, and St. Nicholas Frenchtown, formed a new parish called All Saints. new Riegel is considered to the the "Cradle of the Community" in America for the Missionaries and Sistes of the Precious Blood.

Mull Covered Bridge, also, Covered Bridges. , Mull Covered Bridge , The Mull Covered Bridge was built in 1851 by the Henry Mull Family to allow for safe passage across Wolf Creek and easy access for trade to the Mull mill. The bridge was open for traffic until 1962 when the road was diverted and a new bridge was constructed. The Mull Covered Bridge was then listed on the National Register of Historic Places., Covered Bridges , There were more than 10,000 covered bridges built in the U.S. between 1805 and the early 20th century. Today less than 900 remain, mostly in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Vermont. Covered bridges seem to evoke different feelings, from nostalgia and romance, to scary ghost stories. There are many different answers to the question, ‘Why were bridges covered?”, One explanation for covered bridges, was to give travelers shelter from bad weather, or to keep horses from being frightened while crossing the water. The most popular story, though, has to do with protecting the bridge itself from the damaging effects of rain, ice, and snow. It would have been very expensive to have to replace the entire span every few years , bur fairly easy to maintain and repair just the roof. Another twist to this story points to the fact that almost all covered bridges were built in the North, where icy bridges would have been dangerous., The Mull Covered Bridge was built in 1851 using the “Town Truss” design. Today it stands as a peaceful reminder of a quieter, simpler era of our history.
