2014 has a lot of exciting things going on in the City of Orrville, as we celebrate our sesquicentennial. The celebration was actually kicked off at our “Home for the Holidays” which took place in November on Thanksgiving weekend with a surprise fireworks display.

Over a thousand black Friday shoppers were treated to the fireworks display as they gathered on the front, snow-covered lawn of the Smith-Orr Homestead. The Orrville Firefighters Association was joined by the Orrville Area Chamber of Commerce and the City to pull off the show.

There have been various events every month including, a multi-generational panel discussion; inter-faith concert, that attracted over 500 in attendance; a time capsule burial ceremony, organized by the Orrville Lions Club and the annual Chamber Banquet, that spent a good deal of the evening honoring our past, present and future.

The biggest events take place in the summer months with the arrival of GOBA in June 2014, monthly concerts and movies in the park and the annual, Independence Day activities. The July 4th parade, carnival, softball tournament and one of the state’s best fireworks displays are all organized by our Firefighters Association.

As we step into August, there is just enough time to catch your breath until the Lions Club Rib and Music

Fest. Enjoy great food and entertainment, car shows and concerts. Highlights include a Beatles Tribute Band on Friday evening, Josh Krajcik returns for a special concert on Saturday evening and a 150th birthday cake cutting. This all takes place in downtown Orrville, August 15 and 16.

On the business side, 2014 has been promising. In January the Serpentini Car Dealership moved into their brand new facility and we also added a Mr. Hero, Advance Auto Parts, Main Street Pharmacy, and The Faithful Little Cupcake. Other additions this year will be Old Carolina BBQ and Berry Good Frozen Yogurt.

Our industries have had good years also. The J. M. Smucker Co. has several expansions under construction as well as their Child Development Center for the children of Smucker employees. In July, 100 Smucker employees will move into office space downtown and as several buildings near completion, after being totally reconstructed by Orrville Redevelopment, they will also be available for new business. We also have a new commercial area being developed called Portico Plaza that will offer new retail space on North Main Street.

I hope you have a chance to join us this year for some of our fun activities and that you support our local businesses and industries. Happy 150th birthday Orrville!

consists of sirens and a cable-TV interrupter. The siren at Orr Park is also capable of sending voice messages, but the area of coverage is limited. Sirens are also located at the Lacy Service Center on E. Pine St.; Fire Station #2 on N. Crown Hill Rd.; in the industrial park on Collins Blvd., Beaver St. Park, and at the corner of N. Main St. and Smithville Rd.The sirens and cable television interrupter are tested

periodically. During testing, the sirens are sounded for a short period. Anytime you hear the sirens sounding for longer than three minutes, you should assume there is a weather emergency, probably a tornado warning. You should seek shelter immediately and check a radio or television for more details. In cases of another type of emergency, you may be required to evacuate your home or to stay indoors at your home for a period of time. The radio and/or television will be used to convey the message. In most circumstances, residents must also rely on a radio or television to determine when it is safe to resume normal activities. AN “ALL-CLEAR” WILL NOT BE SOUNDED BY THE SIRENS. You are urged not to call the police department or City Hall, as these lines must be kept open for emergency assistance requests only.All residents, businesses and industries should keep a

battery-powered AM/FM radio for use in emergencies. It is also recommended residents own a battery-powered weather radio which gives emergency alerts of severe weather if kept in the alert mode.Weather websites: www.intellicast.com/weather/cle/nexrad,

www.weather.com, and www.weathernet5.com. Local radio stations: WQKT, FM 104.5, AND WKVX AM 960.Garage Sales – The city has an ordinance requiring persons who wish to have a garage sale to get a permit from the safety-service department. There is no charge for the permit, but there is a limit on the number of days that a sale may be held, the signs (including where they may be placed), the kinds of merchandise and the number of families that may go together for a sale; sales may be from 9 a.m.-sundown. Permits are available at the information desk at City Hall, Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. (except legal holidays).Parades – Persons or groups wishing to hold a parade on a public street must obtain a permit from the safety-service director at City Hall; the permit is free. Call 330-684-5000 for details.Parking – Parking any inoperative or unlicensed vehicle on private property for more than 15 days is prohibited. To report a violation, call the police department at 330-684-5025.Scooters & Skate Boards – No person shall ride on or operate a skateboard on any street or roadway. Skateboards and scooters are NOT permitted on the sidewalk within a business district. Where signs are posted prohibiting skateboards, no person shall ride on a public sidewalk or upon paved areas within a shopping ceter. Scooters and skateboards are NOT permitted in Orr Park.Snow Parking Ban – A significant accumulation of snow may require the city to declare a “snow parking ban” which requires cars parked on certain streets be moved. The announcement of the parking ban is made on local radio stations WQKT (104.5 FM) and WKVX (960 AM). Vehicles not moved from these streets may be towed at the owner’s expense.Trees – The city plants approximately 100 new shade trees along public streets every spring. Residents can request a tree be planted in their tree lawn by calling the safety-service director’s office at 330-684-5004. Orrville has been named a “Tree City USA” since 1980.

Living in Orrville

There were miles and miles of thick, dense forest when white settlers began to trickle in to Wayne County and the area which became Orrville in the beginning of the 19th century. Native American tribes of Shawnee, Wyandot, and Delaware hunted game in the Newman Swamp, located along Burton City Road, which was said to be wild and inaccessible, and often referred to as “Shades of Death.” Native Americans gathered wild potatoes, cranberries, and hunted wild turkeys and carrier pigeons, who were so numerous they darkened the skies.

Community history began in 1814 with the arrival of a Pennsylvania veteran of the Revolutionary War, James Taggart Jr., to stake out the claim to which his war service entitled him. He chose 160 acres (at that time called a quarter-section) in Baughman Township, lying east of Main Street, between Orr Street and the southern corporation line.

He returned to his home in Pennsylvania after deciding he was too old to begin a life in the wilderness, but the next year his sons Samuel and Robert came to settle on this claim. Robert found a large amount of his northern part of this quarter-section was swampy, so he traded part of it for a wagon. Samuel settled the southern part of the claim, the higher ground, and in 1828 built the first house at what is now 421 East Fike Avenue.

Baughman Township, where the Taggart lands were located, was named after James Baughman an original settler of the area, in 1816. Green Township, which is located on the west side of Orrville, was named after Revolutionary General Nathaniel Green in 1817.

The early settlers in the 19th century were of Irish origin, and a later wave of immigrants was of German and Pennsylvania Dutch extraction. Among the latter were Christian Brenneman, who settled the land south of Market Street and west of South Main; and Christian Horst, who laid claim to land north of West Market and west of North Main.

(Above Photo from Orrville Historical Society)Town Hall 1882: The first significant structure to serve the government functions of Orrville was constructed at 207 North Main Street in 1882. The Orrville Town Hall and the second floor opera house were in use until condemned in 1928 because of structural problems. The original building cost $10,000 to build and replaced a small wooden structure on the same site which housed the steam fire engine, lockup, and a village office.

2013 Chief ’s ReportThe Squads ran almost every day, and the majority of our

fire runs are in response to box alarms at businesses and industries in town.

Fire calls are at 131 on the year (155 last year), and we only had 5 calls with significant property loss - one four-unit apartment building, one single family house, and 3 vehicle fires.

Property loss on the year is at $172,065.00. The properties saved to loss percentages also came back up, increasing to 19% loss and 81 % saved in 2013. Last year it was 1.64% in losses to 98.36% saved. We have had three civilian injuries and no firefighter injuries.

EMS runs continue to increase little by little each year. This year we had 526 EMS calls, up 14 from last year, and we averaged 44 calls a month. These EMS calls involved 550 patients, transporting 432 of them to the local hospitals. The EMS calls generated $239,235 in EMS billings with a collection of $121,698 or 51%.

We lost six members this past year with two members retiring, three members resigning, and one member terminated. We hired three new members bringing the department membership to 38, short of the 45 members allowed.

The Training Bureau and its officers have organized 98 hours of training for our department in house. We have had instructors from Charleston, SC and New York, NY again this past year. Total training hours for the years are at 3,681 hours.

The Prevention Bureau was able to get a grant for fifty Combination Smoke Detector and CO alarms for the department to give out. They have conducted 32 programs for 2251 people, putting in 125 hours.

Inspections have been very busy this year with new construction, including the downtown renovations, and the inspections that we are required to do each year at the schools and daycare facilities. We have reviewed 71 set of blue prints through the department and 74 inspections were conducted.

We have had numerous maintenance issues develop with our fire stations. Station #1 on North Vine Street has had three very serious roof leaks develop, overhead door springs break, and simplex door lock problems. Station #2 on North Crown Hill Road has a heater issue. Station #1 was built in 1966 and Station #2 was built in 1979 with an addition in 2002.

We have re-submitted last year’s FEMA Grant in the amount of $375,700, which would allow us to purchase new SCBAs and bottles. I would like to thank Captain Ballentine for all the work he has done on this project.

We will also be bidding replacement of our hydraulic extrication tools due to age, performance, change in car design and construction. Vehicles today have much more high tinsel and carbon steel in them that our current tools were not designed to work with.

We will continue to work with our EMS billing company to see how the Affordable Care Act will effect the EMS billing, and how it may ultimately effect EMS response in general.

County Dispatching will continue to be a hot item in the county. The Northeast Fire District is also continuing to work on changes in Baughman Township which may further effect our contract with Baughman Township. We have already met with the Baughman Township Trustees to move the lines on the map for the area we cover outside the city in their township.

I would like to thank the Orrville Firefighters Association for assisting the department. They have paid to bring in a number of out-of-state instructors over the past years. They have also purchased equipment items for the trucks, and most recently a new TV and stand at Station #1 that replaces the one that was originally purchased in 2002.

I would like to thank the officers and members of the Orrville Fire Department for their work, assistance, and continued support on a job well done this year. I would also like to thank the City Administration and Councilman Corfman for their support this past year.

A half century from now, Orrville residents are going to have fun digging up the city’s sesquicentennial time capsule, which was buried Friday by the Lion’s Club. Whether the people of the future will have as much fun opening the box as those who assembled, filled and buried it did, remains to be seen.

On a warm afternoon that portended an imminent storm, Lions Club members committed to the Earth for safekeeping a 14-inch square stainless steel box containing a 2014 snapshot of the town.

For the club, it marked the end of an odyssey that began a few months ago when members, led by event chairwoman Deb Mosier and member Kathi Bond began visiting businesses and organizations to gather information that would help create a profile of those companies and their operations, as well as the city in general.

Restaurants forked over copies of menus, banks included interest rate cards, car dealerships provided information on their latest models and the schools submitted group pictures.

This stack of information — accompanied by such things as some wooden FJ Designs buildings depicting local businesses, a J.M. Smucker Co. Olympics pin, a local telephone book, a golf ball from The Pines, a mayoral proclamation of the sesquicentennial celebration, a copy of Friday’s Daily Record, a note to the future from the Lion’s Club and other items — were sealed into heavy-duty plastic bags and placed into the capsule.

rrville in a time capsule The club’s note, read to the crowd of about 50 people by Bond, said, in part: “Most cars now are still powered by gasoline, but hybrid and electric cars are starting to become popular. Orrville has one of the first compressed natural gas filling stations in the state. In the future, I imagine that if you are still using cars, they’ll all run on alternative fuel. Gas costs about $3.79 per gallon currently.

“We communicate on cellular phones or by e-mail on a computer. We do things like tweet on Twitter or post things to Facebook. We have flat-screen televisions of various sizes from 32 to 80 inches. A thing called reality TV is very popular right now. In 50 years it will be interesting to see if you know what these things are. We are confident that there will still be a Lions Club in Orrville leading the ceremony of opening this capsule to celebrate the 200th birthday of the City of Orrville.”

Wayne County Commissioner Ann Obrecht opened the ceremony by reading a proclamation from the commissioners. The document contained a thumbnail sketch of the town’s history, including its incorporation on May 9, 1864.

Mayor Dave Handwerk noted that in 1864 the Civil War was still being fought. He noted when the town was settled, the first 42 lots were sold for $50 each.

With rain starting to fall and thunder rumbling in the darkened skies to the west, many of those in attendance were given the sealed plastic pouches of information to be placed into the time capsule. By the time the last were deposited by a group of schoolchildren, city and county officials and Lions Club members, rain was starting to pelt down and the group quickly scattered.

The capsule is buried next to a bench placed in the park by the Lions Club. A small cast aluminum plaque mounted at ground level will mark the site until the container is unearthed in 2064.

Dear Friends,

Hello from the past! If you are reading this letter, you know that it was included in a time capsule that was buried by the Orrville Lions Club bench on the Blackwell property in Orrville. The time capsule is part of a celebration of the 150th (sesquicentennial) birthday of the City of Orrville, Ohio. It is supposed to be opened 50 years in the future, so if you are reading this, it should be May 9th 2064, and we are probably not in attendance. That's all right, though. Right now, we’re very much alive and are a happy group of Orrville Lions dedicated to serving our community.

This letter and the contents of this time capsule were made so that you could have a piece of the past once you were old enough to be curious about your community history. The contents of this capsule represent various things in and around Orrville to give you a flavor of life in 2014 as we are marking our birthday. You will see things from local car dealerships, banks, restaurants, our schools, local newspapers, churches and a variety of local businesses as well as our Chamber of Commerce and our current Mayor Dave Handwerk. Mayor Handwerk is reading a proclamation today at our ceremony and so is Ann Obrecht, one of our current Wayne County Commissioners. You should see these proclamations in the capsule. You will also see various photos, one of which is a collage photo of all the current members of our Lions Club writing you this letter today and sponsoring this time capsule.

A little about how things are in 2014. Most cars now are still powered by gasoline, but hybrid and electric cars are starting to become more popular. Orrville has one of the first Compressed Natural Gas filling stations in the State. In the future, I imagine that if you are still using cars, they’ll all run on alternative fuel. Gas costs about $3.79 per gallon currently.

We communicate on cellular phones or by email on a computer. We do thing like tweet on twitter or post things to Facebook. We have flat screen televisions of various sizes from 32 to 80 inches. A thing called reality TV is very popular right now. In 50 years, it will be interesting to see if you know what these things are. We are confident that there will still be a Lions Club in Orrville leading the ceremony of opening this time capsule to celebrate the 200th birthday of the City of Orrville.

Sincerely, Orrville Lions Club of 2014“We Serve”

The greatest population spurt in Orrville came between 1900 and 1910 when the census showed a count of 3,066, an increase of 1,625 residents from 1888. These 10 years also marked the period of the greatest centralization of railroad activities here. Orrville’s growth and prosperity was tied closely to the growth of the railroad.

The main lines of P. Ft. W & C.R.R., which was then the Pittsburgh, Ft. Wayne, and Chicago Railroad, was a single track. The C.A. & C. Railroad also ran through Orrville. The switching of cars from the Pittsburgh line to the C.A. & C. was done with a yoke of oxen. Then, locomotives burned wood which was piled along the right of way.

Today, the single track railroad has been replaced by a two and four track system and engines are much heavier and more powerful. One hundred years ago the wood burning engines were replaced with coal burners, and the oxen team was replaced by steam and then with diesel. Because the two divisions of the P. Ft. W. & C. R.R. crossed here, Wheeling and Lake Erie Railroad surveyors thought this to be a necessary point for them to reach with their new railroad, consequently Orrville grew.

Orrville Union Depot, built in 1868, is shown as it appeared about 1910 with two steam trains at the platform. Looking east towards Main Street, note the switch block control tower (built in 1910) in its original location, to the south of and across the main line tracks from the depot. It was moved to the north side by the Railroad Society in 1984.

The Union Depot, now the home of the Orrville Railroad Heritage Society, served the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroads and the Cleveland, Akron and Columbus Railroads, which both later became a part of the great Pennsylvania R.R. system.

150 Years!

Paul L. Powell Citizen of the Year 2013

The Orrville Area Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce the 2013 Paul L. Powell Citizen of the Year, Becky Jewell.

Jewell, a lifelong resident of Orrville, known for her dedication to public service and her willingness to work for the good of the community was surprised with the announcement of this honor at the weekly meeting of the Orrville Rotary Club, February 25.

“I can honestly tell you that she was very surprised,” shared Don Noble who was responsible for making sure Becky arrived on time. “Before the crew came out she noticed the whistles and party items on the tables and commented it looks like we are going to have a party.”

Truer words were never spoken as Lori Reinbolt, president, Orrville Area Chamber of Commerce stepped up to the podium to make the announcement and a crew, led by Lynn Horner, filed in dressed in safety services gear blowing party horns.

Jewell began her career with the City of Orrville in 1974 as a receptionist. She received her Associate Degree from The University of Akron Wayne College and her Bachelor’s degree from Malone College while working for the city. In 1996, she was appointed Safety Services Director by Mayor Dennis Steiner.

The Safety Services Director was a challenging position to which Jewell gave her all. She worked hard, long hours and knew every ditch, hydrant, mile of road and park as well as the people under her charge that cared for them.

“Stories abound of Becky’s adventures including driving snow plows through obstacle courses and attending the Ohio Fire Academy,” commented Dr. Shellee Suppan, CEO Aultman Orrville Hospital.

Dr. Suppan further acknowledged Becky’s leadership as chair of the hospital board throughout the process that eventually formed Aultman Orrville Hospital. “Becky diligently represented the community to ensure that we continued to have a hospital with local control in Orrville.”

Jewell’s impact on the Orrville community is extensive and includes service on the boards of the Orrville Area Chamber of Commerce, Orrville Area Development Foundation, Wayne Economic Development Council, Orrville Area Boys and Girls Club, Orrville Public Library, Dunlap Community Hospital, and Orrville Rotary Club.

“When a volunteer is needed or an opportunity arises to enhance Orrville Rotary Club’s commitment to

our community, Becky quietly and effectively steps up to offer a hand,” remarked Justin Haislip, president, Orrville Rotary Club.

Most do not know the extent of Jewell’s involvement. She works quietly in the shadows, but when she is involved things get done: on time, on budget and in the best interest of Orrville.

At her retirement from the city in 2009, Mayor David Handwerk stated “In all my years on council and now as my second as Mayor, I never saw Becky make a decision without the best interests of Orrville being considered.”

In retirement, Jewell joined the Rails to Trails of Wayne County Board as the project manager for the Heartland Trail which will extend from Orrville to Marshallville and eventually to Clinton.

“(She) is responsible for fundraising, overseeing the engineering design of the trail, working with the community leaders and government officials, promoting public awareness and the many benefits of the trail as its ambassador,” stated Don Noble, president, Rails to Trails of Wayne County.

In addition to being an outstanding public servant, Jewell is a dedicated wife, married nearly 40 years to husband, Jim, mother and community volunteer.

“Becky has made an impact on me by setting a great example as a dedicated, loving and supportive mother.” shared Suppan. “I always got the impression from Becky that being Chris and Stephanie’s mom was her most important, enjoyable and fulfilling role and her most significant accomplishment.”

Jewell was honored as Citizen of the Year at the Orrville Area Chamber of Commerce Annual Dinner, A Celebration of Legacy and Leadership, on March 25, 2014 at The University of Akron Wayne College.

Becky Jewell, the 2013 Citizen of the Year, was honored with a video tribute.

Dr. Marchelle Suppan, CEO Aultman Orrville Hospital and life-long friend of Jewell’s shared remarks prior to the presentation of commendations by various government representatives including Ann Obrecht, representing the Wayne County Commissioners and Mayor David Handwerk who presented a key to the city.

Lori Reinbolt, president, Orrville Area Chamber of Commerce, shared reflections about the Citizen of the Year recipients concluding that “All of these individuals, whether recognized for a lifetime of service to the community, a particular project or an act of kindness, have continued Powell’s legacy and contributed to his belief that Orrville, Ohio really is The Promised Land.”

TRIBUTE TO PAUL L. POWELL CITIZENS OF THE YEAR

Paul Powell Citizens of Year. They rallied community support, raised funds and provide leadership that has moved our community forward. Among the recipients of the award are pillars of industry, local government leaders, teachers and the common man or woman as it may be. The contributions differ, but the spirit of humility and service are true for each and every one. The time and energy devoted to whatever task was at hand was never for public recognition. Most preferred it not to be. They simply did what they saw needed to be done and acted because it was the right thing to do.

Paul L. Powell Past Recipients

It is in the spirit of humility and quite honestly in awe of the leaders that have come before us that we recognize the 49 recipients of the Paul L Powell Citizen of the Year Award.


By 1830 settlers had already begun to drain Newman’s Swamp, revealing black peat muck that lay in a four mile flat plane and resulting in some of the richest crop-growing soils in the state that drew settlers to farm. This decade also introduced the area to the railroads, and the “fever” struck Orrville around 1845. By this time another founding father had been added to the list of Taggart, Brenneman, and Horst - Smith Orr.

When Orr was born in Ireland in 1797, his mother died at his birth. His father moved Smith and his siblings to America in 1801. In 1812, they settled near Apple Creek. He learned to read from the family Bible, and, while it’s not known if

he attended school, he learned to “do sums.” After marrying Maria Foreman, he moved to a farm south of Orrville. Becoming a surveyor and a Justice of the Peace, he was involved in many business transactions. He saw the future of the railroads, saying they would open up the wilderness and allow area farmers to reach more markets. Many of the area farmers opposed the railroads and the destruction of their lands which would happen during construction. Many also considered the “Iron Horse” to be a fad which would fade away.

A recession in 1837, which depleted state treasuries, caused railroads looking for funding to petition private groups. In 1848 hearing that the Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad was looking for funding, Orr and Horst jumped at the chance to draw the railroad through Baughman and Green Townships. They struck a deal in which Orr would have citizens in the two townships raise $150,000 by buying stock at $50 per share. Pittsburgh was to raise $600,000 as their share. Along with settler Jesse Straughan, Orr easily raised their portion in 1848, but Pittsburgh was unable to raise one cent. Straughan was sent there to represent the entire state of Ohio. A plan was proposed to include another city, and, finally, by 1850 the goal was reached.

Although Orr had raised funds to bring the railroads through this area, he was not guaranteed they would pass directly through Baughman and Green townships, so he promised to build a water tower, a sawmill, and to provide free wood for ties and fuel - an offer hard to refuse on the railroad’s part. Orrville probably owes a big part of its start to the fact that it lays in a direct line between Massillon and Wooster, main targets of the railroad line.

In 1850 Orr purchased 80 acres from Horst, one of the original German-Swiss settlers. In 1854, Orr moved to the Homestead at 365 West Market Street, across from the railroad. Horst decided he wanted no part of the railroad and continued farming.

In 1852, Orr persuaded Robert Taggart to lay out 10 acres in 42 town lots which sold for $50 each; they lay north of the railroad and east of Main Street. He then entered into a partnership with William Gailey to build a water tower and sawmill southeast of Mill Street. Meanwhile, other homes were being built on either side of West Market Street on land Orr purchased from Horst. Jesse Straughan made the first plat of the town and gave it the name of Orrville.

The first train came through on Aug. 10, 1852. Fifteen to twenty thousand people gathered in Wooster to celebrate the arrival of the Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad to this area.

This new town grew rapidly, drawing residents from neighboring towns which had been established long before Orrville, but had no railroad access.

In 1854, the Cleveland, Akron, and Columbus railroad was built through Orrville, intersecting with the east-west Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad. This made Orrville a passenger and freight transfer center, allowing farmers to send produce to large city markets like Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Cleveland, and making it possible for additional money to be made in winter by cutting wood for locomotive fuel.

Coal replaced wood for fuel in the late 1850s, and sawmills were no longer needed to supply locomotives. Fortunately for Orrville and the railroads, coal was discovered in the Burton City area.

The first census was taken in 1860, and Orrville had a population of 500 people. Orrville was incorporated as a village on May 9, 1864, and William Gailey was the first mayor.

The two Rs in the word Orrville might well stand for “Rail Road.” The city was originally conceived as a railroad stop, and the railroad drove virtually every aspect of its

development over the years.Even today, the most casual of visitors to the city cannot escape

the presence of the railroad, as there is almost no way to reach the heart of the downtown without having to cross at least one set of tracks.It was in about 1845 that the rural area around what is today Orrville

was struck by “railroad fever,” and the phenomenon became the impetus for many meetings to debate its pros and cons.Judge Smith Orr, founder of the town – and whose name it

bears – was the chief proponent of the railraods, pointing out they would help open up the wilderness and allow area farmers to reach broader markets than was possible with present transportation modes.Opponents of the railroads, however, did not want their

farmlands ripped apart by construction for what they felt would be a passing fad.In 1848 when new railroad companies began looking to

groups of private citizens to give them aid in crossing Ohio, Orr jumped at the chance to draw the railroad through Green and Baughman Townships in Wayne County. A deal was hammered out in which Orr was to get the residents of the two townships to raise $150,000 by buying stock at $50 per share. The City of Pittsburgh, Pa., was to raise $600,000 as its part of the deal.While Orr and partner Jesse Straughan readily raised the

$150,000, Pittsburgh was unable to fulfill its part of the agreement. Straughan was then sent to Pittsburgh to represent the entire State of Ohio’s railroad interests.A new plan was constructed under which the city councils

of Pittsburgh and Allegheny were to subscribe $200,000, with citizens expected to come up with the remaining $400,000. That goal was reached by 1850.To ensure that Green and Baughman Townships would

not be bypassed by the railroad, Orr promised the Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad that he would construct a water tank, a sawmill, and furnish free wood for fuel and ties for track. This served as adequate encouragement for the railroad to build through Orr’s area.Orrville probably owes its existence to the fact it is situated in

a direct line between Wooster and Massillon, both established in the early 1800s and main targets of the railroad line.Orr then persuaded Robert Taggart in Baughman Township

to take 10 acres of his land and lay out 42 town lots, which Taggart sold for $50 each. Those lots were located north of the

railroad tracks and east of Main Street. Then Orr entered into a partnership with William Gailey and built the promised water tank and saw mill southeast of Mill Street.The first train came through the area Aug. 10, 1852, in one

of Wayne County’s most historic moments. The new town of Orrville grew rapidly as people from neighboring towns that had no railroad flocked in.Two years later the Cleveland, Akron and Columbus Railroad

was built through Orrville. Running north and south, it intersected the Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad and made Orrville a passenger and freight transfer center. Now area farmers could send their products to markets in Pittsburgh, Chicago, Cleveland or Columbus. In addition, they could earn extra money by cutting wood for the railroad.By 1860 the population of Orrville had reached 500, and on

May 9, 1964, it was formally incorporated under that name.In 1882 the Wheeling and Lake Erie Railroad built a line

through Orrville, positioned just south of the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago tracks. While it offered some passenger service, most of the line was concerned with freight hauling.The real boom in Orrville railroading, however, was still to

come.In 1899 the Pennsylvania Railroad, which had taken over the

Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad in 1869, acquired the Cleveland, Akron and Columbus Railroad. As a result, Orrville became a terminal for the Pennsylvania Railroad, and in 1907 a roundhouse was constructed. That structure contained six stalls, with five more added a few years later. Here engines were repaired, tanks were refilled and coal “clinkers” were removed from boilers while frieght was transferred from one line to another.The serving yard in Orrville grew to 17 tracks with a capacity of

386 cars. The railroad depot that was built in 1851 was replaced in 1868 after burning to the ground. Today that depot still exists as a museum thanks to the efforts of the Orrville Railroad Heritage Society.In its peak years, 20 passenger trains and 42 freight trains

passed through Orrville daily. It is said that any time the town had a parade, the procession was invariably separated into numerous sections by passing trains.In 1923 a protracted railroad strike resulted in a consolidation

of railroad activities, and the major terminal activities were moved from Orrville to Crestline. During the Great Depression, the train and hotel business lagged. The railroad shops and many hotels and restaurants that depended on the railroad for their trade were closed by 1939.Orrville’s fortunes as a railroading town were briefly resurrected

during World War II when it was selected as a U.S. government storage site, with a huge amount of war materials collected and dispatched from an area just west of the city.After that, however, there was a great decline in railroads

because of the advent of the interstate highway system and the growing trucking industry.The city’s greatest population spurt came between 1900 and

1910, when the census recorded 3,066 people. These 10 years also marked the period of the greatest centralization here of railroad-related activities.In 1950 Orrville became a city, reaching a population of 5,150.

Today, with a diversified industrial base, its population hovers around 9,000.Information contained in this article is derived from “Orrvile

Ohio, Walking Through The Past,” by Robert Witmer and Darla Landers, 1999.

A Look BackA Look Back

Dedication of Orr ParkCourtesy of OrrViews May 2, 2014 issue; submitted by Karen Flinner, City of Orrville

In the mid-1920s, the village decided that a public park was needed, so a park board was appointed by the Mayor consisting of J. M. Smucker, William Heebsh, H. L. Zimmerman, and George Irvin.

The Village already owned a 4.75 acre parcel in Orr’s woods where a previous water wall had been abandoned, as well as an abutting 3 acre parcel owned by the Board of Education which was no longer part of their future development plan. The park board believed the 7.75 acre combined tract was insufficient to accommodate a public park. To remedy the situation, Maude Congdon and Charlotte Chamberlain, great-granddaughters of Smith Orr, donated an additional 3 acres to make a rectangular 10 acre tract.

Orr Park (first referred to as Orr’s Park) was dedicated on July 25, 1930. According to a history written in the dedication souvenir program by George Irvin, the park included beautiful shade trees of beech, maple, oak, elm, dogwood and other varieties. A 60 x 70 picnic pavilion was constructed to provide a gathering space for up to 300 people, or sufficient to accommodate several reunions at the same time. A toilet facility was also constructed. The Orrville Band donated a band stand of concrete and steel, in conjunction with a flagpole donated by the Knights of Pythias lodge.

At the time of dedication in 1930, the front part of the park had also been plowed and seeded into a beautiful lawn of grass. Three rope swings were suspended from two huge trees, and a merry-whirl and a kiddy slide were added by the park board. To keep the park in order, and to prevent destruction of park property, custodian Ed Levengood was employed during the summer months.

According to the July 28, 1930 issue of The Courier Crescent, 10,000 people enjoyed the homecoming and dedication festivities on July 25. And ‘to cap it all,’ in typical Orrville style, the crowd enjoyed a splendid fireworks display.

A few things to remember: There are two separate fenced areas; one for dogs over 30 pounds, and one for dogs under 30 pounds.

Trail comes to OrrvilleDon Noble, president of Rails-to-Trails of Wayne County,

said the organization hopes to have completed trails in the Orrville area over the next couple of years. Phase one of the Orrville trail project will consist of a trail that connects Marshallville to the Orrville Industrial park.

“The engineering is completed, it’s just a matter of getting the fundraising together to complete the project,” said Noble. “We hope to have this phase complete by next summer (2015).”

Phase two of the project will involve connecting the Orrville Industrial park with downtown Orrville and the depot area. “We are working on the two phases simultaneously,” said Noble.

The long-term goal of the organization is to connect to existing trails like the Holmes County Trail and even the Ohio and Erie Canalway, Towpath Trails. The overall goal is to connect all trails that stem from Cleveland to Columbus and even Cincinnati.

Rails-to-Trails of Wayne County is a non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion, development, and conversion of unused railroad and greenway corridors into multi-purpose, non-motorized, public paths. We are comprised of local volunteers with the common interests for enjoying trails in many different forms including bicycling, walking, running, rollerblading, and horseback riding. We promote and inspire movement.

You can follow the trials progress on facebook, www.facebook.com/waynecountytrails or check for updates on their website, www.waynecountytrails.org,

Above photo courtesy of Orrville Public LibraryFirst Building: The quaint Georgian style building located at the corner of North Main and Church Streets was dedicated as the first Orrville Library in 1941.

Orrville Public Library - A Look Back(Courtesy of OrrViews May 2, 2014 issue; Information provided by Orrville Public Library)

The Orrville Public Library was instituted on Feb. 3, 1925 when 600 books were moved into a vacant room in Orrville High School (on E. Church Street). The books included supplemental text books, and some titles recommended by the “Ohio Pupil’s Reading Circle.” Students had to ask the school superintendent for permission to get a book. However it was not until April 6, 1926 that the collection was opened as a public library. The library is a School District Library under the jurisdiction of the Orrville Board of Education, the board supplied the books, magazines, and equipment.

Alma Frey was the first librarian, serving the community until she was succeeded in 1943 by Gladys (Ruth) Nichols.

The circulation of books in 1926 was 16,844. This grew steadily to 30,000 in 1932 (a depression year). The library helped school children with projects and also sponsored study clubs for people to learn more about subjects like science, world history, and 19th century art. In 1934, antiques proved to be a very popular subject.

The first library building was dedicated in 1941, built at a cost of $22,000, at the current Main and Church Streets location. The town furnished $15,000, and the board about $7,000, which was from gifts and balances for such a purpose. The building and grounds were owned by the City of Orrville.

Facing Main Street, the red brick Georgian-style building was two stories. The approximately 58’ x 33’ building had a beautiful fireplace, easy chairs and seating and tables for 50 visitors. The slate roof had three dormer windows, and was topped with a cupola with a weathervane. The interior was decorated in various shades of green to compliment the beautiful walnut finished woodwork, furniture and library shelves. When the collection was moved into the new library, the roughly 3,800 square feet building housed nearly 8,000 volumes; it could accommodate 13,500 books without overcrowding.

The current 25,000 square feet building was opened on July 5, 2000.

A Tribute to Jenni Reusser

150 Years!

on her retirement from the Orrville Area Chamber of

Commerce

The past seven years I had the privilege of working side by side with an individual who definitely fits the description of Orrville, of Legacy and of Leadership. When we think of the definition of an Orrville promoter I’m sure we all will be thinking of the same person – Jenni Reusser!

Jenni cheered on Orrville when she was at Orrville High School and has continued to be Orrville’s biggest cheerleader all her life. This past year marked the end of her 14 years at leading the chamber so we want to take a few minutes to not only thank her, but reflect on her community impact.

Jenni came to work each day with excitement and enthusiasm for ways to better Orrville. She could be seen all around town with her fingers always in many projects. When Jenni told me she was retiring I knew it wasn’t really retiring but “redirecting”. I know Jenni will be actively involved in Orrville for many more years.
