Description: This is a photograph of the George McConnell house in Urbana, Ohio. “The George McConnell House (Joseph P. Fyffe Birthplace), W. Market St., is a beautiful residence in modified Georgian Colonial style. Many of its architectural details, including the stately portico, have been added in recent years. A side elevation overlooks a small stream; and the house is surrounded by great trees. An attractive serpentine brick wall encloses part of the landscaped grounds. In 1856 Joseph P. Fyffe, son of a local doctor, was decorated by Queen Victoria. Fyffe had entered the Navy at the age of 15 (1847), served during the Mexican War, and risen rapidly from the ranks. In 1856 he volunteered for the Grinnel Expedition, which searched the Arctic regions for the Sir John Franklin party. For this service to the Crown, England’s Queen conferred upon Fyffe the Arctic Order of Victoria. During the Civil War, Fyffe (1832-1896) was a rear admiral in the United States Navy. Joseph P. Fyffe’s final resting place is in the Oak Dale Cemetery, at the end of Patrick Avenue, in Urbana, Ohio. George McConnell was co-owner of the Urbana News Company. He and Frank C. Gaumer purchased the Urbana Daily Tribune and the Urbana Daily Times, and merged with the Urbana Daily Citizen, to become the Urbana Daily Times-Citizen.” Writers’ Program (Ohio). (1942).

Description: Caption on reverse reads: "Inside the Warder Bookmobile. In Springfield, Ohio." The Clark County Public Library traces its beginnings to the Springfield Lyceum in 1841 in Springfield, Ohio. It occupied various locations before local entrepreneur Benjamin Warder gave the library a new location on the corner of High Street in 1890. The building, called the Warder Public Library, was constructed in memory of his parents and dedicated to the people of Springfield. This location now houses the Clark County (Warder) Literacy Center. Library service continued to expand and grow at this new location. The year 1936 saw the library's first bookmobile service to the area, with a homemade trailer that could carry 500 books. The 1950’s and 1960’s brought about the expansion of the library in the form of branches at Park Shopping Center, Southern Village Shopping Center, and in the villages of Enon and South Charleston. Now called the Clark County Public Library, the main library moved to its new facility on Fountain Avenue in 1989. The library has five locations throughout Clark County. It also has two bookmobiles that cover 41 community stops, 7 schools, 14 daycare centers and 5 Head Start Programs. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
