    Ladies and gentlemen, let’s go back to the 1960s, a time where if you were wearing a mask, chances are it was either Halloween or you were trying to rob someone.

    Ladies and gentlemen, in the 1960s, Ed Bousman had a dream. This dream became a reality when Ed went to his congregation at the Lynchburg Church of Christ one Sunday morning with a challenge for them to go home and ask God for something impossible.

  • Hillsboro auto dealers: Do you remember these?

    When I was digging through my “history cabinet” this morning, I stumbled onto a list of Hillsboro businesses that were doing business back in 1961. It was given to me by the community’s good friend, Bob Hodson. It might surprise you that there were more than 154 businesses in Hillsboro in 1961.

  • The road to the Sesquicentennial: From Brown to Brown-Roush Farm

    Tuesday, June 30, 2020 2:46 PM
    Ladies and gentlemen, after last week’s offering that detailed when Bernice Brown, my first cousin three times removed, was visited by a pair of masked men at her home near Hoagland, someone reached out to me asking if the intruders who tied the 74-year-old up in the winter of 1965 and left her for two to three days were ever caught.

  • The road to the Sesquicentennial: Miss Brown and the masked men

    Ladies and gentlemen, in last week’s offering, we examined how the Brown homestead left the family in the 1890s, only to have it bought back by my grandfather in 1942. While that land left the family for about a half century, a 52.853-acre portion of my parents’ 700-acre farm has been in continuous family ownership since 1860.

    Ladies and gentlemen, my great-great-great-grandparents, Joshua and Jeanette Brown, built a two-story brick farmhouse in the 1840s where my parents, Ken and Judy Roush, reside today. Less than a year ago, the office of Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine and the Ohio Department of Agriculture recognized the farm as an Ohio Sesquicentennial Farm.
