Description: The bookplate of James McBride of Hamilton, Ohio, features a drawing of a contemplative scene. A seated woman is holding a book in her right hand, her chin resting on her left hand. A tree on either side of her frame the scene. A poem at the top of the bookplate reads: "An elegant sufficiency, content,/Retirement, rural quiet, friendship, books,/Ease and alternate labour, useful life,/Progressive, virtue, and approving Heaven!" The Motto reads "Pro aris et focis" ("For our altars and hearths"), which was used to express attachment to everything most dear. The name "James McBride," written in script, appears at the bottom edge. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Portrait of an unidentified woman. This photograph was taken by traveling photographer Albert J. Ewing, ca. 1896-1912. Like most of Ewing's work, it was likely taken in southeastern Ohio or central West Virginia. Born in 1870 in Washington County, Ohio, near Marietta, Ewing most likely began his photography career in the 1890s. The 1910 US Census and a 1912-1913 directory list him as a photographer. A negative signed "Ewing Brothers" and a picture with his younger brother, Frank, indicate that Frank may have joined the business. After 1916, directories list Albert as a salesman. He died in 1934. The Ewing Collection consists of 5,055 glass plate negatives, each individually housed and numbered. Additionally, the collection includes approximately 450 modern contact prints made from the glass plate negatives. Subjects include infants and young children, elderly people, families, school and religious groups, animals and rural scenes. In 1982, the Ohio Historical Society received the collection, still housed in the original dry plate negative boxes purchased by Albert J. Ewing. A selection of the original glass plate negatives were exhibited for the first time in 2013 at the Ohio Historical Center. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: In 1804, the Congregationalist Church authorized Reverend David Bacon to establish the town of Tallmadge, Ohio. Tallmadge was to be the center of the Congregationalist Church and its missionary efforts in the Connecticut Western Reserve. The church building was to be located in the center of town with all roads radiating outward like the sun's rays. A Tallmadge committee of seven men developed plans for building the church in 1819 and appointed one of their members, Lemuel Porter of Conneticut, as the architect and builder. Tallmadge Church raising began in July of 1822. It was dedicated on September 8, 1825. Reflecting Porter's design, the wood, brace-framed church features a Federal/Greek Revival style portico, supported by four large columns, and a dominant one hundred foot high steeple with a weathervane. The main building measured 44-feet wide by 56-feet long. The State of Ohio acquired the church in 1971, which is now managed by the Ohio Historical Society, and is used for weddings and other special events. View on Ohio Memory.
