About this title

Synopsis

This book is a collection of one-page stories or snippets of Perry, Ohio history published in local sources by the author over the course of several years. Taken together, they reveal the evolution of a village/township and its people who successfully managed the land in a rural agricultural setting and modernized into a twenty-first century community that retains its rural character. This book gives life to Perry Ohio streets, buildings and people whose names have become an integral part of the city they lived and died in.
