Description: Photograph of John Rumora at left with two of his fellow crew members at dry dock with the U.S.S. Santa Fe. The man are identified as Gerald Motter of Piqua (center) and Dewayne Russell of Findlay (right). John George Rumora (1927-) enlisted in the United States Navy on February 24, 1945.

Description: The Fort Amanda memorial obelisk was erected in 1915 to perpetuate the memory of the men who served and died at Fort Amanda in Auglaize County, Ohio. One of a series of forts extending north from Piqua to Fort Meigs (present day Perrysburg), Fort Amanda was built by order of General William Henry Harrison. Originally constructed in the fall of 1812 by Kentucky troops under the command of Lt. Col. Robert Pogue, the fort was enlarged to almost double the original size during the spring of 1813 by Ohio militia soldiers under the command of Capt. Daniel Hosbrook. It served as a major supply depot for the United States army during the War of 1812. This granite monument marks the site of the original fort, which is no longer standing. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Photograph showing Rock House State Park, located in Hocking Hills State Park in Hocking County, Ohio. Hocking Hills State Park is known for its geologic features of Blackhand sandstone, including Old Man's Cave, Cedar Falls, and Rock House. The only true cave in the Hocking Hills region, Rock House is a corridor-like tunnel situated in a 150-foot Blackhand sandstone cliff. Rock House has been used by many different groups over the course of its history. Small recesses, called hominy holes, are believed to have been used by American Indians as baking ovens. According to local folklore, Rock House was also used as a hideout by robbers, murderers, and bootleggers, earning it the nickname Robbers' Roost. A sixteen-room hotel, built in 1835 by Colonel F.F. Rempel of Logan, once stood where the picnic shelter is today. View on Ohio Memory.
