On June 5, 1891, the historic Uhrich s Mills a Uhrichsville landmark for nearly a century was destroyed by fire.
“The mill was owned by Mr. T.B. Smith,” a correspondent for the Tuscarawas Advocate wrote. “We understand he loses heavily. The mill was doing a splendid business and ’tis sad to see these industries go up in smoke.”
The mill, which stood on the west bank of Big Stillwater Creek just south of the present day Trenton Avenue bridge, had been in existence since 1806.
The first owner was Michael Uhrich Sr., a Pennsylvania native who came to Tuscarawas County in 1804. He was the first settler in what is now Uhrichsville, and the city is named for his family.
About 80% of all traffic deaths and severe injuries occur on High Injury Network roads, which account for just 12% of city streets.
A Streets Department spokesperson explained that the High Injury Network s mapping methodology no longer includes the Fishtown intersection, but it remains eligible for the city s Modern Roundabout Program due to an analysis of crash data.
The intersection was selected for the program in 2014 based on five-year crash data that showed 10 reportable crashes between 2009 and 2013.
The project will entail the removal of existing traffic signals, installation of new street lighting, curb line reconfigurations and islands for the new roundabout traffic pattern. New signing, line striping and upgraded curb ramps also will be necessary.
ROCKFORD As a single mother, Katherine George fled to Rockford from the violence of the south side of Chicago in 2006 in search of a safer place to raise her three children.
When she arrived here, she discovered a public housing approach that hadn t yet been attempted in the area.
The close-quartered apartments of the former Champion Park on the city s west end had recently been demolished, and in their place stood a spacious neighborhood with multistory homes that resembled a traditional suburb more than public housing. I did a walkthrough of one of the houses down the street and I said, Wow this is so beautiful. I love it. And just said, I want one, George said.
