The Baloni Bullet and the Black Hand
The " Baloni Bullet" was discovered in a manila envelope in a bound volume of "Sandusky Register" newspapers during obituary indexing
On the night of March 9th, 1916, James Baloni (aka Bologna)
rushed into the home of Angelo Lauria (aka Lowrey) to call the Sandusky police.
He reported to Chief Weingates that his older brother Giuseppi (aka Thomas) Baloni
had been shot in the neck and lay dead in the alley at Camp and North Depot.
James had also suffered a gunshot wound to his thigh. Both had come from Italy
and were working as section men on the Pennsylvania Railroad.
James told police that he had no idea who had shot
them. But the coroner noted there were powder burns on Giuseppi’s neck, indicating
the murderer was at close range. He also discovered a 32 caliber revolver with
5 loaded chambers lying beside the body. Surely, there was more to the story
than what James was telling the chief. In fact, James was also carrying a fully
loaded revolver.
Weingates interrogated James before taking him to
Providence Hospital. He also questioned Angelo Lauria…. No one was talking. The
chief hoped the bullet would reveal the truth. Had the Baloni brothers fought
and shot each other? Had Angelo Lauria shot both brothers? What was the motive?
Was it a family argument or was it the work of the “Black Hand”?
Black Hand tactics were at work in Italy at the turn
of the century and then infiltrated Italian neighborhoods in large U.S. cities.
Black Hand gangs used extortion and threats of violence to extract protection
money from their intended victims. The term Black Hand evolved from the cryptic
notes that bore black lettering and drawings. Now, Chief Weingates suspected
the Black Hand may have come to the Sandusky area.
Eventually the bullet did reveal the truth. It was not
of the same caliber as that of the Baloni brothers’ revolvers. Pressuring
Angelo Lauria further, he confessed that it was his brother Dominick who had
murdered Giuseppi and wounded James. Dominick had fled the city on the very
night of the killing.
Less than a week later Diego Lauria, cousin of
Dominick and Angelo, turned up dead at the Vissenera boarding house. Two 38
slugs were extracted from his head. All eight boarding house residents were held
at the police station and questioned. Chief Weingates told the “Sandusky
Register” reporter that Diego had been implicated in a Black Hand murder at
Marblehead a few weeks earlier.
Further investigation led Chief Weingates to suspect boarding
house resident Vincenzo Denneria as the man who had killed Diego Lauria.
Vincenzo was picked up while on the run in Toledo. He later confessed that he
had murdered Diego because he feared Diego was out to “get him.” The two had
quarreled when Diego had lured Vincenzo’s cousin Mariano Dennaria to Marblehead
to extort $100 from another Italian. In a matter of three weeks, Giuseppi
Baloni, Diego Lauria, and Mariano Dennaria had all been victims of revenge.
Chief Weingates’ theory had proved correct. The Black Hand had indeed come to
Sandusky.

Frohman Summer Series: "Hands on History" Features Roller Coasters
Steve Oberst Demonstrating How Coasters Use Kinetic Energy |
Students Creating Their Roller Coasters |
It Works!
Students Working with Sierra Lobo Sponsors
The second session of the Frohman Summer Series "Hands On History" focused on roller coasters. The Charles E. Frohman Collection housed in the Manuscripts Division at the Hayes Presidential Library & Museums contains the oldest pictures of the world famous Cedar Point Amusement Park. From 1892 to the present day, coasters have been a top attraction at Cedar Point.
Students, age 6 to 11, used the photos of these early coasters to gain firsthand knowledge by connecting history to science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Steve Oberst then demonstrated the impact of speed, kinetic energy, and gravity. Students used a variety of materials and applied the knowledge they'dd gained in this STEM project to create their own coasters.

Adeleta and the Boys of Company K
Company K on the Sandusky County Courthouse Steps
In early April of 1923, Captain Frank Buehler of Fremont, Ohio announced the death of Adeleta, the cat. With tears in his eyes, the veteran stated that she had been buried with full military honors!
A large, pure white angora, Adeleta had been living with the Buehlers on Adams Street where she was loved and pampered by the entire neighborhood. But her beginnings were anything but quiet. As the mascot of Fremont's Company K of the 147th Infantry, Adeleta was all military.
In 1916, Company K joined General John J. Pershing's Punitive Expedition against Pancho Villa. Shortly after arriving at Fort Bliss, Texas, the Fremont soldiers encountered a fluffy little feline. Details of just how Adeleta was "inducted" into Company K remain murky. Sources indicate that she was "drafted" as a kitten against objections from her owner. By the time an investigation was launched, it was too late. She had been "sworn in."
With orders to capture Pancho Villa, Pershing's 10,000-man force headed for the Mexican border. Now a member of Company K, the kitten traveled with the troops. Like most angoras, she was intelligent, curious, and bonded easily with humans. During the nine months spent patrolling the border and confronting Mexican revolutionaries, she grew into a "beautiful, powerful" creature whom the men claimed was "terrible in war."
While fighting Pancho Villa's guerrillas on the border, the Fremont soldiers heard Mexican villagers singing a romantic folk song about "Adelita," a brave female warrior who fought along side the revolutionaries. Then and there they knew they had found the perfect name for their mascot.
When Company K returned from the border and settled in at Fort Riley, Kansas, Adeleta was front and center with her comrades. But in a matter of months, everything changed for the Fremont soldiers and their beloved Adeleta. With war brewing in Europe, Pershing was headed overseas and the 147th Infantry would go with him.
The soldiers worried about Adeleta and her future. What would become of the mascot who had touched their hearts and brought them so much enjoyment during their days on the border? With all certainty, the men knew taking her to Europe was out of the question. Finally, the men decided that on their return to Fremont, Adeleta would be "furloughed" so that she could live with the Buehler family. And there she remained - fat, happy, and the center of attention. At the end of World War I, she was there to welcome home her former comrades.
She lived another five years with the Buehlers until that fateful spring day when Taps were sounded to herald her passing and honor her service to the boys of Company K.

WWI Creates Suspicion of Loyal German Americans
When
America entered the First World War, the Wilson administration launched a massive propaganda campaign against its enemy - Germany. Referred to as “Huns,”
Germans were portrayed as inhumane on posters, leaflets, and in advertisements.
With 1/3 of the nation’s population composed of immigrants, the federal
government feared that many German Americans would become spies or assist the
German war effort. The Justice Department kept a list of German aliens. More than 480,000 individuals appeared on the list, of which 4,000 were imprisoned for spying or supporting the German cause. In its efforts to identify more
spies and traitors, the federal government soon began suppressing the German culture.
The
campaign worked splendidly. Cities across America went to great lengths to show
their allegiance to the United States and help root out spies and sympathizers. Businesses, streets, and towns with German names were changed. Some libraries removed German books from their shelves. The German language was frequently
banned in churches and schools. Many with German surnames soon began to
Americanize them.
In Sandusky County, Ohio, some German Americans were looked upon with suspicion and attacked for refusing to swear allegiance to the U. S. The most serious incident occurred in the spring of 1918 when a German resident was overheard in a downtown bar supporting the Kaiser. A crowd chased him to another bar, finally capturing him. They took him to his tailor shop. There he was forced to his knees and ordered to kiss the American flag. Defending himself with a club, he declared that one of his sons was in the service and that he himself was actually Russian! But the mob was having none of it. They threw the tailor down the stairs and stuffed the flag down his throat. They then decorated his shop with an abundance of American flags. The “Daily Messenger” wrote that the sheriff housed him for a short period in the city jail for his own protection.

The “Daily Messenger” wrote that the sheriff housed him for a short period in the city jail for his own protection.
The Sedition Act covered a broad range of offenses, including speech and expression of opinion. Only federals could enforce the Sedition Act, but local law officials were compelled to identify and report to the Justice Department those they believed disloyal to the United States. This increased tensions everywhere. Locally, the angry mob moved on to interrogate the loyalty of Rev. Erwin Marker of St. Mark
Lutheran Church, Rev. U. S. Bartz of the First Presbyterian Church, Charles
Maule who had celebrated after early German victories, and “German Courier” editor Vollmer. Their suspicions were unfounded and nothing came of it.
It
wasn’t long before cooler heads prevailed, first in Gibsonburg, Ohio and then in
Fremont. By week’s end, “vigilance” committees were formed. Their purpose was
two-fold: to prevent loyal German Americans from being humiliated and to
identify those suspected of treason. An enormous “Liberty Parade” was organized
for Patriot’s Day. Thousands poured into the streets with flags flying! The
local papers featured the event as a patriotic celebration. In reality, those
suspected of German sympathies were compelled to demonstrate their allegiance
by kissing the American flag, purchasing war bonds, and supporting the Red Cross
Courtesy Library of Congress |
As
the war turned against the Central Powers and the Sedition Act was repealed,
emotions subsided across the country. There were those who secretly believed
the government’s tactics had been too heavy handed. Some resented the severe
repression of speech. Most German Americans went on with their daily lives,
eventually forgiving their neighbors for the hard feelings harbored against
them. But in the process, many treasured German traditions were lost forever.

Toledo State Hospital Baseball Team, ca. 1905
Toledo Asylum for the Insane was established in 1888 on 150 acres located at the corner of Detroit and Arlington Avenues. The land had been donated by Lucas County. It was the first institution in the United States to be designed on the cottage system. The grounds were situated in a park-like setting where 32 buildings were constructed. The site consisted of 20 cottages, 2 strong wards, 2 infirmary wards, 2 hospital buildings. 2 dining rooms, an administration building, chapel, kitchen and bakery, laundry, storehouse, and boiler house. Dr. H. A. Tobey was appointed superintendent in 1886 and remained in this position for 19 years. To learn about Toledo State Hospital and the collection, use the link above. |

Finding David J. Vance
Dr. Charles R. Pontius with David J. Vance in the "Winton" 1903 Hayes Presidential Library and Museums Sandusky County Local History Photograph Collection |
The picture in which David Vance appears is one of a
series of staged images taken in 1903 of well-known Sandusky County physician
Dr. Charles R. Pontius. Pontius was apparently thrilled with his beloved “Winton”
automobile. In addition to the "Winton,” a horse named “Kitty,” and an electric
street car are featured in the photograph. The picture was intended to show
viewers the rapid evolution in transportation that was taking place at the turn
of the century. But of course, none of this immediately of interest. It was the friend
sitting beside Dr. Pontius in the “Winton,” who was identified as Vance – the
first and only picture I had located of one of Sandusky County’s African
American Civil War veterans. I am hoping I will discover more images of these
brave men!
Vance enlisted in the 44th U. S. Colored Regiment that was formed at Chattanooga in 1864. The regiment fought at battles
near Dalton and Rome, Georgia and at Nashville. Serving a total of 19 months,
Vance was discharged in August 1865. He returned to Sandusky County where he
worked as a laborer and then a shoemaker. In 1882, he married Jane Whetzel
Keys. She was the daughter of Felix and Lavina Newsome Whetzel and was born
near McCutcheonville, Ohio.
To add to their income,he Vances rented rooms to
several boarders and Jane worked as a hair dresser. At the age of 56, David Vance
joined the local Eugene Rawson Post of the Grand Army of the Republic. He
remained a member in good standing until his death in January of 1904. Jane
lived until the age of 91. Both David and Jane are buried in Fremont, Ohio's OakwoodCemetery.

Helena: Sandusky County, Ohio
Helena, Sandusky County, Ohio |
Helena, lies partially in the townships of Jackson and Washington in Sandusky County, Ohio. The village was established in 1871 as a result of the construction of the Toledo branch of the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad.
Courtesy of the Library of Congress |
Surveying of the village was done by Joseph Garn. John Ickes, Isaac Garn, and Jonathan Wagner laid out lots.
Thirteen oil derricks can be seen in the image. According to longtime area resident, Gene Long. who wrote Conquering the Black Swamp: A History of Jackson Township's First 170 Years, the first oil well was drilled in 1889 on the Joseph Garn farm . Shortly thereafter, wells sprang up throughout the area. However, most were close to Helena. The population increased as men came to work in the oil fields. According to Mr. Long, the "oil boom" did not last long. He writes that "by July of 1909 there were about 4200 wells operating in the county and the average production was less than one barrel per day. "

The Buzzards Return to Ohio
The image above was taken this week on the grounds of Spiegel Grove by Hayes Presidential Library and Museums Head of Photographic Resources Gilbert Gonzalez. Each spring and fall turkey vultures - often called buzzards, arrive from the south and gather in the huge trees on the grounds of Spiegel Grove. They roost quietly for several days before soaring off ever so gracefully on the thermals as they search for carrion across northwest Ohio. Their six-foot wingspan allows the buzzards to glide effortlessly for hours. They will lay their eggs on ledges, the ground and in hollow logs, crevices, and abandoned barns (mine included).
Perhaps the most well-known Ohio location for the roosting of turkey vultures each spring is in Hinckley Twp. in Medina County. Like clockwork they arrive each year on March 15th.
According to a Medina County history referenced by Mark Price in an Akron Beacon Journal article, the arrival of the buzzards is directly connected to the "Great Hinckley Hunt of 1818." Some 500 pioneers in the area gathered on December 24th to eliminate the wolves, bears, and other wildlife who were destroying their crops and livestock. The hunters encircled the area of Hinckley Twp., driving the creatures into a confined space where they were killed. One account states the 21 bears, 17 wolves, 300 deer, and other wildlife provided a Christmas Day feast for the hunters' families. In the spring, the carcasses attracted a gathering of buzzards in Hinckley Twp. that has continued each spring for two centuries.
1n 1957, Hinckley residents began celebrating Buzzard Day On the first Sunday after March 15th, more than 1,000 residents and visitors gather to enjoy Hinckley's hospitality with the day filled with good food and old fashioned fun and games.
