The Karg Gas Well in Findlay near the L B W railroad bridge reached 1156 feet and drilled a vein of gas as large as the city’s four biggest wells.

Old Senate seal history traced to 1831 engraving
The rules committee reports the existing Senate seal lacks clear authority or origin, tracing its engraving to 1831 by Edward Stabler Sr., a Sandy Springs postmaster. Designed by R. P. Lamphear Jr., with criticism from York wood engraver Wagoner, the piece bears inscriptions for July 4, 1776 and March 4, 1779, barely legible in recent impressions but visible on original proofs in Stabler’s collection.
