ABOUT PROSPECT Interesting Items of Old Times in and Around the Village and Vicinity. On Thursday, August 10, 1905, the Weiser family reunion came off at the old Fredrick Weiser homestead east of the Olentangy, or as it was called when the pioneers of the southern branch of the family first settled the, Whetstone Creek. The attendance was larger than ever before on a similar occasion and the dinner and everything else connected therewith correspondingly so. Several met with them this year for the first time in a number of years, some never before, and all enjoyed a pleasant, interesting and happy day. Prospect's delegation was a very respectable one for talent. Photographer, Leon Cope assisted by his cousin, Charles Clinton Klein, of Lima, Ohio, a competent engineer in the employ of the C. H. & D. railroad, manipulated the picture taking business in a handsome way and satisfactory all around.

Layton's "Duff Green" did more than half a century since, over the race track near the Leatherberry tavern, two miles north of Marion, and his fleetness was considered something wonderful, especially in a four mile race. When Duff Green was stolen his owner and his owners many friends mourned for more than forty days.
