Description: Four photographs document events in Canton, Ohio that marked the 50th anniversary of the death of President William McKinley. The anniversary was marked by the rededication of the McKinley Memorial and a parade. The parade followed the route taken by the McKinley funeral procession in 1901. Various industries were invited to participate in the parade. Among the floats was "Remember the Maine," sponsored by the Timken Roller Bearing Company. The final image shows the end of the parade at the memorial. The photographs measure between 2.5" x 6" (6.35 x 15.24 cm) and 5" x 8" (12.7 x 20.32 cm). William McKinley (1843-1901), the twenty-fifth president of the United States, was born in Niles, Ohio. He enlisted in the army at the outbreak of the Civil War and, after being mustered out, studied law and opened a law office in Canton, Ohio. McKinley served in the U.S. Congress for 14 years, and became president in 1897, largely due to the influence of Marcus Hanna, boss of the Cleveland political machine. McKinley was most noted for his foreign policy and the conduct of the Spanish-American War in 1898. It was during McKinley's administration that the U.S. acquired its first overseas possessions in the Philippines, Guam, and Puerto Rico. He was re-elected in 1900, but was assassinated by anarchist Leon Czolgosz in 1901. President McKinley was shot in Buffalo, New York on September 6th, died there on September 11th and was buried in Canton on September 19, 1901. His running mate, Theodore Roosevelt, then became president. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Photo taken between 1935-1943, original date unknown. Marietta College is one of Ohio's oldest continually operating institutions of higher education. In 1830 the Reverend Luther Bingham, a pastor in the Congregationalist Church, established the Institute for Education. Local citizens in Marietta then created the Marietta Collegiate Institute and Western Teachers' Seminary, a non-denominational institution. In 1835, this college became known simply as Marietta College. Throughout its history, Marietta College has emphasized a commitment to a liberal arts education. The institution has desired to create a well-rounded student, knowledgeable in a wide variety of subjects. Marietta was the first permanent settlement of the United States of America in the territory north and west of the Ohio River. Originally known as Adelphia, meaning "brotherhood," Marietta was the first settlement founded by the Ohio Company of Associates in the Northwest Territory in 1788. The company's investors renamed the community after Queen Marie Antoinette of France, in honor of France's contributions to the American victory in the American Revolution. The first settlers were led by Rufus Putnam, who was one of the Ohio Company's early investors. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Portrait of an elderly man seated next to an elderly woman, her arm resting on his left shoulder. 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: The Edgemont Inn is a 2-story gray painted brick building on the corner of Gilbert and Foraker Ave. This former Beecher Homestead was the home of Rev. Dr Lyman Beecher (1775-1863). His family included Harriet Beecher Stowe and it is reasonable to assume that she received some of her anti-slavery sentiments in this house where prominent abolitionists came to visit. Among them was Levi Coffin, "President" of The Underground Railroad, whose residence was around the corner on 3131 Wehrman Ave. This structure was completed in 1833 to house the president of Lane Seminary, founded in 1830. Dr. Beecher was the first president of the seminary. Harriet Beecher Stowe's first two children, twins Eliza and Harriet, were born in the house in 1836. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Reverse reads "Greenville, Darke County" and below someone has written "Pittman house?" Greenville, Ohio in is located in Darke County, which is near the center on the western edge of the state. Greenville claims to have over eighty five buildings listed with the National Register of Historic Places and this photograph could be of a fireplace in any number of those buildings. It is also possible that this is a photograph of a fireplace in the Pittman home, as it does share some similarities with the carved wood pieces that decorate much of the Pittman home. More information is needed. View on Ohio Memory.
