Description: From left to right, this portrait shows John, Evva and Bessie Kenney, ca. 1884. The photograph comes from the collection of Evva Kenney Heath, the youngest of the siblings who were born to David and Louisa Kenney in Cardington, Ohio. Their father passed away when the children were young, and they were raised in Cardington by their mother. All three attended and graduated from the predominantly white Cardington-Union Schools. John held jobs in West Virginia and New York before moving to Albuquerque, New Mexico, for health reasons in October 1902. Bessie married William "Billy" Brimbee in 1898, and the two had a daughter born in 1902. Evva began her career as a teacher but later attended Howard University Law School and went on to be an attorney in Washington, D.C., with her husband Henry Heath, as well as a prominent advocate for women's rights. All three siblings died at young ages--John and Bessie around 1902, and Evva in 1909. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: The Republic Steel Corporation Collection (MSS 192) consists of 13,000 black and white photographic negatives, 2,000 color photographic negatives, and many 35 mm slides which document Republic Steel Corporation’s main production facilities and its subsidiaries, 1941-1975. This collection also includes images of social events such as company picnics, award banquets, and dances. Founded in 1899, Republic Iron and Steel Company was a steel production company based in Youngstown, Ohio, and the result of a consolidation of 34 steel mills across the United States including the Mahoning Valley’s Brown Bonnell Iron Company, Andrews Brothers and Company, and Mahoning Iron Company. From 1927-1937, Republic Iron and Steel Company expanded its reach by acquiring a number of other companies such as Trumbull Steel Company in Warren, Ohio, and Central Alloy Steel Corporation in Canton, Ohio. With its expansion, Republic Iron and Steel Company became the third largest steel producer in the United States behind United States Steel Corporation and Bethlehem Steel Company, and changed its name to Republic Steel Corporation to reflect its new status. After the outbreak of World War II in 1941, the Corporation’s production increased by 33%. This increased production continued into the 1950s and 1960s as the company continued to be one of the leading developers of steel production technology. Due to a myriad of factors including decreased demand for steel from automobile manufacturers and imported foreign steel, steel sales declined and in 1984 the Republic Steel Corporation was purchased by LTV Corporation, which led to the closure of the Youngstown plant. LTV filed for bankruptcy in December 2000. View on Ohio Memory.
