Hello, Would anyone know where a person, living in Oxford Twp. in 1930, would have gone to high school? Would any year books (from what ever school that might have been) be in a Butler Co. library? If so, where? I'm looking for a picture of Emmert A. Wallen b. in Reiley Twp. in Aug. 1913. He was age 16 in the above mentioned 1930 census with his parents, John and Lula A. Dill Wallen. Guess he would have been in high school in 1929, 1930, and/or 1931??? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Gale

i would guess Talawanda if it was there at that time ----- Original Message ----- From: "EdwardWallen" <edwall@ccaonline.com> To: <OHBUTLER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 22, 2006 3:34 PM Subject: [OHBUTLER-L] high school > Hello, > > Would anyone know where a person, living in Oxford Twp. in 1930, would > have gone to high school? > > Would any year books (from what ever school that might have been) be in a > Butler Co. library?

You could try the Lane Library in Oxford at sml@lanepl.org. -- Dennis M. Kowallek kowallek@iglou.com ******************

The high school in Oxford in 1930 was the Stewart I think. That building was the old high school before Talawanda High was built. Stewart was then used for junior high for years and finally torn down a couple of years ago.

A resident of Reily Township would have gone to Reily High School, in Reily, Ohio, Butler County........if they were closer to Oxford, they would have gone to Stewart, since Talawanda didn't exist until I was in school, in the 50's. Talawanda was made up of more than one school district, supposedly to save money and give the kids a better education, but there was a lot of resentment from some of the constituents for taking their local school (Morgan High School, at Okeana, Ohio) away from them. Depending on where they lived, they either went to Ross or Talawanda. Reily and Morgan both ended up as lower-grade schools. Smith Library, at Oxford, will have all of the information that you need. I had cousins in both schools, and my Mom and Dad both attended Morgan, until they moved to Shandon...In fact, Mom graduated from Morgan, I think in 1926. Funny thing, when I was a kid, one of my friends and neighbors in Shandon, was Johnny Wallen, and I believe his father's name was Edward. He had one sister. His Mom used to tell me they were mostly Cherokee, and they looked the part........dark-skinned, dark hair, high cheek-bones, lanky, yet very good-looking people........Johnny would be about 60 now...Ring a bell???
