| Bonds of community are forged when people form groups, be they formal organizations or an informal gathering of friends on streets or porches. Groups breathe life into a community and reflect its heart. Shown here are some Groveport and Madison Township women who gathered on the front porch of a Main Street home in Groveport on a patriotic holiday in the early 20th century. Pictured here, from left to right (though sadly, some are unidentified), are: (front row) Goldie Schleppi, Edith Tussing, Mary Stevenson, Gertrude Adel, and (unidentified); (middle row) Ethel Long, (unidentified), (unidentified), and Anna Coon; (back row) Amy Wildermuth, Irma Myers, (unidentified), and (unidentified). |
