Welcome
to Lucas County, Ohio!
I
believe that everyone loves to be remembered in
some way. It may be a telephone call, a greeting
card, a surprise visit, or even a silly email. To
bring joy to a person by something so simple warms
my heart. By remembering those that have already
passed or have made an impact on someone's life is
equally important. They all are a part of our
history and who we are today. By reading these
biographies, all of us learn a few details about
each individuals life. This helps us to connect to
them in some way and have a better idea about the
type of person that they were.
They
may be gone, but not forgotten!
In May of
1997, this project was organized by Jeff Murphy,
using the established KY Biographies Project as a
model. State coordinators were sought to set
up their own state project. They were
offered the system design and tools created for
the KY project, but were free to set up their
project in any way they chose. I am Teresa
Casiano and I coordinate this project for Lucas County,
Ohio. Volunteers are needed to enter, edit,
and archive the biographies for each
project. If you have biographies you would
like to donate for Lucas Co., OH, please contact
me. If you would
like to volunteer to coordinate a county please
contact the Ohio State Coordinator,
Tina Hursh.

They
think that I should mow and trim
And
be a model guy.
I
tell them it’s more interesting
To
know when grandpa died.
They
simply will not understand
Why
I never go to bed...
I'm
busy living my own life,
Plus
two hundred older years instead.
Why
waste the time we have on earth
Snoring
and asleep?
When
we can fight off Indians and
sail
upon the deep?
We
have preachers and lawmen,
Soldiers,
more than a few...
And
yes, a few old scoundrels
And
a bootlegger or two.
How
can a man find this life
An
awful drudge or bore?
When
he can live the lives of all
Those
kinfolks who lived long before?
Two
hundred years from now
Why,
no one will ever know
Did
I clean the carpet..?.
But
they'll see our Family Tree and glow...
Knowing
their dear old granddaddy
Left
for posterity
Not
clean washed cars and weeded flower beds but a completed
Family Tree!
So
let repairs go unmade,
I've
better things to do...
Like
finding old birth records
T'will
give you all a clue,
To
why old great grand-daddy
Grabbed
the family branches with glee
And
let the faucets drip
While
he worked upon the Tree!
