Description: Photograph showing an aqueduct, which can be one of two kinds of structures: a structure used to transport water from location to location (e.g. a pipe), or a waterwork used to help ships cross over areas by means of a water channel. The caption beneath the photograph reads: "Aqueduct North of Delphos, O.| July, 1916." The attached description located on the back of the page reads: "PHOTOGRAPHS No's 31 & 32.| DELPHOS AQUEDUCT.| Present structure is a box flume built for temporary use only. The structure is leaking badly and is liable to collapse at any time. This flume conveys the waters from Grand Reservoir northerly to the City of Delphos." This photograph is part of a series taken by the Board of the Ohio Department of Public Works to document the disrepair of the infrastructure of the Ohio and Erie Canal and Miami-Erie Canal systems in 1916, showing the physical condition of each structure. The Ohio Department of Public Works is one of the oldest departments of state government in continuous existence. Among its other duties, this department was charged with maintenance and administration of the Ohio & Erie and Miami-Erie Canals. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: This 4 by 5.5-inch (10.16 by 13.97 cm) portrait of brewer Felix Steinle appeared in A Portrait and Biographical Record of Allen and Van Wert Counties, Ohio, published by A. W. Bowen of Chicago in 1896. The volume is 909 pages long and measures 8 by 10.5 inches (20.32 by 26.67 cm). Steinle was born in 1847 in Baden, Germany, where he learned the beer brewer's trade. After coming to the United States in 1868, he lived in Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Cincinnati. In the late 1870s, he established the Fremont Brewing Company. In 1883, he purchased the Delphos Brewing Company in Delphos. He reorganized and purchased new equipment to increase the brewery's output and produce ice. In 1896, the company produced 7,000 barrels of beer and 3,600 tons of ice. During Prohibition, the company stopped producing beer, but sold ice and non-alcoholic beverages. View on Ohio Memory.
