Out of the past
May 21, 1896
The Sidney Swing company of this city was incorporated yesterday with a capital stock of $50,000. Incorporators are: W.B. Forsyth, C.W. Rhodehaffer, W.R. McKnight, C.M. Lyon and F.F. Rauth. The company has been formed to manufacture a swing patented by Mr. Rhodehaffer. It is after a style of the old merry-go-rounds, but is a grand improvement over them.
A meeting of the citizens of St. Marys was held there last evening in the mayor’s office in the interest of the electric railway. H.T. Mathers, Frank Hunter and Charles Timeus, of this city, officers of the company were present and explained the plan proposed for the railroad. There appeared to be a good enthusiasm and a committee was named to handle subscriptions.
