Ernst Service Station

Yesterday I posted some old photos of Gaier's. Located right next door is Ernst Service Station and check out these pictures.

Gaier Family

The Gaier family has always been a big part of the Ft. Loramie community.  See below.

Tony's Place

One of the Ft. Loramie businesses mentioned in yesterday's post was Tony's Place. Today Tony's Place is known at Al's Place. Below are several pictures from those days.

Former Businesses and Name Changes

Anyone remember these business changes or name changes in the last 50 years?

St. Patrick's Catholic Church

Take a look at the old and new St. Patrick's Catholic Church in St. Patrick's, Ohio.  Here also is picture of St. Patrick's School in 1954.

Ft. Loramie Fire Department in 1964

Here are the volunteers of the Ft. Loramie Fire Department in 1964 with their new fire truck

St. Peter & Paul Catholic Church

Here are some early pictures of St. Peter & Paul Catholic Church in Newport, Ohio which was dedicated in 1937.  The church was later demolished in order to build the new church which exists today.

More Baseball Pictures

A lot of people seemed to enjoy the picture I posted on Monday of the Newport Baseball Club of 1954, so here's another one I had of the Newport Baseball Club of 1914.

Since I'm blogging about baseball, see if you recognize any of these boys on Ft. Loramie's varsity baseball team in 1947.

St. Michael's Church

Below are some early pictures of St. Michael's Catholic Church and the Parsonage

Newport Baseball Club of 1954

Back in Ft. Loramie

I've been back in Ft. Loramie for a couple weeks visiting family and friends. Below is a picture of me with Craig Fiessinger after having dinner at Brucken's on Thursday, May 16th. Craig is the creator of the website Fish Report, which posts news from the area and also promotes this blog. Craig is originally from Ft. Loramie, but now lives in Russia, Ohio.

I also stopped into Ft. Loramie High School on Friday, May 17th and spoke with Mr. Brad Turner, the Social Studies teacher.  Mr. Turner took this picture of me standing next to the Indian I restored for the school several years ago.

Thank You
