Download or read book Sylvania Lucas County Ohio written by Gayleen Gindy and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2020-10-01 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Join the author in reliving Sylvania’s over 180 years of history from footpaths to expressways and beyond, in volume eight of an eight volume set. With over 30 years of research she has included every subject imaginable that helped bring Sylvania to where they are today, with excellent schools, over-the-top parks and recreation, rich beautiful homes, commercial and industrial businesses and a quaint historical downtown that looks like it was planned by Norman Rockwell himself. This book is a treasure trove of information for the thousands who have ancestors that once lived and helped Sylvania grow through these years. Located in northwestern Ohio, Sylvania is a suburb of Toledo, Ohio and for many years has been known as “the fastest growing suburb in Lucas County.” A once rural farm community, between both the city and township they have grown from a combined 2,220 residents in 1910, to 48,487 in 2010. Over a short period of time the land has transformed into beautiful subdivisions of grand houses, so that now their subdivision names are all that remain to remind them of their once dense forests and sprawling farmlands. No longer can Sylvania be called the “bedroom community” of Toledo, because over the last 50 years they have done a lot more than sleep.

Download or read book Fostering on the Farm written by Megan Birk and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1870 until after World War I, reformers led an effort to place children from orphanages, asylums, and children's homes with farming families. The farmers received free labor in return for providing room and board. Reformers, meanwhile, believed children learned lessons in family life, citizenry, and work habits that institutions simply could not provide. Drawing on institution records, correspondence from children and placement families, and state reports, Megan Birk scrutinizes how the farm system developed--and how the children involved may have become some of America's last indentured laborers. Between 1850 and 1900, up to one-third of farm homes contained children from outside the family. Birk reveals how the nostalgia attached to misplaced perceptions about healthy, family-based labor masked the realities of abuse, overwork, and loveless upbringings endemic in the system. She also considers how rural people cared for their own children while being bombarded with dependents from elsewhere. Finally, Birk traces how the ills associated with rural placement eventually forced reformers to transition to a system of paid foster care, adoptions, and family preservation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everything in this book is true! This is an event that happened on June 1st, of 1935, and everyone that was involved is gone today. For almost 90 years now the family has asked the question, how could this happen to such a sweet and innocent woman, living in what has always been known as a very safe place to live? Her life on earth was short, and even her family never really knew her full story. She was adopted at birth. She found out she was adopted as a young teenager after her adopted mother took her to see a woman at the Toledo State Hospital. She was first described as her aunt, and then she was told the truth, that it was her real mother. She marries at 16 years old, with her adopted mother giving the consent. She and her husband live an ordinary life, in the rural community known as Sylvania Township in Lucas County, Ohio, with all the struggles that the Depression years brought. They had ten children, and after her husband passed away she had to take a night job to eek out a living. That job required her to walk approximately four and a half miles to and from work. One night she didn’t make it home. The county sheriff, coroner and prosecutor all agreed it wasn’t an accident, and that’s when the investigation began. Who did this to this sweet woman who was needed so badly at home? Will we ever find out the truth?
