“It is not what we have but what we share.” The words of 19th century Yellow Springs resident Wheeling Gaunt, a formerly enslaved man who bought his freedom, have inspired generations of villagers. Gaunt’s generosity also perseveres in a 126-year-old tradition of the delivery of flour to local widows and widowers at the holidays a stipulation in Gaunt’s will when he bequeathed the land that is now Gaunt Park to the Village. This year’s distribution took place at the end of November. Village public works crew members purchased $3,000 of flour (and sugar, which was later added) from Tom’s Market and staked out routes across town to deliver the baking supplies. This year, 125 widows and widowers were on the list, 54 of whom had requested that their gift be passed on to the Yellow Springs Community Food Pantry.
