Early Days in Steubenville 1850s Reflections
Steubenville, Sept 4 1907. A Herald Star reader laments modern comforts versus 1850s life. The piece recalls lack of paved streets, gas lighting, and newspapers, then contrasts with then daily routines, money types, banks, and the era’s leisure. It notes penny and silver coin usage, counterfeits, and the Wide Awakes torch parades. It ends with memories of boys games and neighborhood life along Market Street.
