Helen Hooven Santmyer's tribute to her hometown of Xenia, Ohio, is even more valuable in light of the 1974 tornado that destroyed much of the community. But its life and history are preserved in Ohio Town, now available in paperback. More than 20 illustrations, included for the first time in this edition, enhance the text.

Santmyer, born in 1895 writes of her memories of the the town,her childhood and warm,sunset memories of a town that no longer exists as she knew. Xenia was heavily damaged in a tornado in 1974.Written prior to 1962 she has captured important historical facts of the town as it originated before her birth and thru her youth.So many of her memories rekindled some of my own from life in the 1950's and 60's,and I can't help but feel that today's children with all their gadgets and games have been greatly cheated.Very sad.The chapters are broken into library,church,school,streets,cemetery,etc.Her successful book "AND LADIES OF THE CLUB" had its origins in this town.You can see many of her characters had their start from people she knew in Xenia.A female "tom sawyer-esque".Lovely.
If you liked the CLUB book,you may liekthis non-fiction book. Her writing is beautiful and her memories are lovely (
