Here is the link to the Medina County Historical Society. http://www.medinahistorical.com/ Be sure to contact the historical society ahead of time as they have limited hours. They can usually provide contact info for any other historical group in the county. I believe there still is a Valley City Historical Society but check with the Medina Historical, I am certain that they can tell you for sure. There is a genealogical society in the county as well. Their address is Medina County Genealogical Society PO Box 804 Medina OH 44258-0804 Current email address for the secretary is ffmccoordinator@zoominternet.net The genealogical society's small library is housed at the Medina Historical Society. The genealogical society publishes a nice quarterly newsletter. As Karen indicated the Medina Library staff is very helpful. The library does have copies of the cemetery inscriptions book for the county. Hope your trip is successful. Donna Gruber Member of MCGS

http://www.medina.lib.oh.us/ Is the URL for the Medina County library. The staff is wonderful to work with here. The address is here on this page as is the OBIT INDEX which should help some. When you go in the front door, go upstairs to the second floor, when you get to the second floor go to the desk there and tell them what you want to do. They will let you in the Genie Room. You might want to call ahead and book the printer/reader. The copies are not charged on a per paper, you make a donation. The newspapers are in a filing cabinet, its self serve. Very nice setup! I believe they have the reading of the cemetery there. If you can't wait to see it and need a few simple lookups email me. I enjoy getting obituaries at this library, very comfortable environment to work in. If I can help with any other questions feel free to drop a note.

There at present 102 pages of articles and a 22 page person index. I originally did it to collect information about relatives, but also began to add articles about events that were occurring in the communities. So the articles would be beneficial to people that are interested in the "old" affairs" of Spencer, Chatham and Homer. If you would like me to send you a MSWord attachment of the articles/index. I could also send just by pasting it into an email, but copy quality is not as good. An example of an article sent in this manner is below. Friday, November 1, 1907, Medina County Gazette, p.7 Homer (Oct. 29) " Week ago last Saturday Mrs. Harvey of Wooster, assisted by Cnrist Markle, had Edward Wilbaugh arrested to make him go with her she desired him to work, and tried to draw his money. Mrs. Harvey is the boy's mother, but as she put him in the children's home at three years of age and paid no further attention to him, the boy thinks she has no claim to him or his wages. He ran away the same day and came back to the place that has been his home for the past four tears, Will Oldman's. Monday the accompanied by Mrs. Oldman went to Wooster and had the matter settled. The mother has no claim to the boy and she and Markle both be arrested for interfering. The boy has always led an upright life and it was thought no fault or crime committed by him that he was under the care of the constable." Researcher: Francis M. Stuart, 2004 For those of you that have received the earlier additions, you may just want to copy the added information and print only that material. I believe the last edition was ended at page 53 or 54. I will be adding more articles as I receive MCG microfilm to copy. Contact me at fstuart@bright.net Mr. Francis M.
