Description: Photograph showing a home at 71 E. Como in the Columbus neighborhood of Clintonville. An accompanying caption reads, "The house... was probably the first to be built on Como and was occupied by the Beall family from 1908-1926 (not the original owners). Mrs. Beall recalls a little brook that ran near the home and a footbridge leading to High St." This image was included in a "Memory Book" compiled by Mrs. H. V. Cottrell, historian for the Clinton League (sometimes called the Clinton Welfare League) from 1938-1943. The book shows the development of Clintonville and records the history of the League. The Clinton League was a women's group founded in 1912 to promote child welfare and later general welfare in Columbus, but which was based in and primarily focused on the area of Clintonville.

Description: Dated ca. 1935-1965, this photograph shows part of the hospital at the Ohio Reformatory for Women with women laying on gurneys, and a group of nurses tending to them. One of the women is identified as Mrs. Ross. In 1911, the Ohio General Assembly authorized the establishment of a separate women’s penal institution. On September 1, 1916, the Ohio Reformatory for Women opened in Marysville, Ohio, with a population of 34 inmates. When Marguerite Reilley was appointed superintendent of the Reformatory in 1935, she found dirty and unkempt inmates with excessively restricted living habits. She instituted the “human being” program which provided recreation, entertainment, jobs, and vocational training for the inmates. State Archived Series 1679 AV consists of 234 photographs which illustrate daily life in the Ohio Reformatory for Women, as well as photographs of the buildings and grounds, superintendents Marguerite Reilley and Martha Wheeler, and notorious inmate Velma West.

Description: Taken by U.S. Army medic Charles Tweel in 1971, this photograph shows a dog lying on top of a pile of sand bags at a U.S. military camp in Vietnam, probably Camp Evans, just northwest of Hue. This photograph is part of the Charles Tweel Collection (AV 324) at the Ohio History Connection. Charles Tweel grew up in Columbus, Ohio, and attended The Ohio State University. After graduation in 1968, he enlisted in the U.S. Army as a non-combatant, first training as a medic at Fort Sam Huston, followed by nine months of additional training at Valley Forge General Hospital in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania. He finished his training as a Specialist 3 and 91C, MOS, and went on to serve in Bamberg, Germany, with combat engineers for one year. In January 1971, Tweel served in Vietnam with the Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 2nd Battalion (Air Mobile), 506th Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, based out of Camp Evans near Phu Bai, north of Hue, until December of that year. Tweel spent most of his service on various firebases as the medic in charge, and occasionally shared firebases with South Vietnamese soldiers. He also visited MedCAP stations (Medical Civic Action Programs) where he treated civilians. Tweel received the Bronze Star Medal for meritorious achievement, and was promoted to Specialist 5 in 1971. After discharge from the Army, he went to medical school and was in private practice as a family practitioner from 1979-2016, and now works part-time in inner city medical clinics in Columbus, Ohio, and Charleston, South Carolina.

Description: These five fragments of the U.S.S. Shenandoah were collected by souvenir hunters after the rigid airship crashed in Noble County in 1925. The first image shows a girder fragment that measures 11.41 by 3.93 by .78 inches (29 by 10 by 2 cm). The girder was part of the metal "skeleton" of the airships. Fabric was attached to the metal frame so that the balloon held its shape. Girders set apart rigid airships from vehicles like hot air balloons (which have no skeleton on the inside, allowing the balloon change shape frequently). This girder fragment is made out of duraluminium, a special type of aluminum meant to be more durable. The second image is a wooden brace fragment that was likely part of the gondola (passenger section) of the airship. It measures 9" by 3" by 0.2" (24 by 8.5 by 0.5 cm). The third image is a clock, most likely one of the pilot's instruments. It measures 3.14 by 3.14 inches (8 by 8 cm). The fourth image shows a fragment of a flashlight from the Shenandoah that measures 2" by 3" (5.5 by 7 cm). The final image shows a pressed paper "sanispoon," a spoon most likely found in a medical kit. It measures 5" by 1.2" (13.5 by 3.1 cm). The U.S.S. Shenandoah was the first gas-filled rigid airship built in America, and the first airship inflated with helium, an inert gas, instead of hydrogen, which is potentially explosive. On the morning of September 3, 1925, the Shenandoah was caught in a storm over Ava, Ohio. It broke apart and crashed, killing 14 crew members, including its captain, Lieutenant Commander Zachary Lansdowne (1888-1925), a native of Greenville, Ohio. View on Ohio Memory.
