Caleb Atwater Day
An Outstanding Ceremony
An
interested and enthusiastic crowd gathered on Saturday morning, August
23 to pay tribute to Caleb Atwater, "Father of Ohio's Public Schools." A
minister, lawyer, author and Ohio legislator, Atwater also helped to
encourage the Ohio-Erie Canal System. The day was bright and fair.
Children and teenagers from the high school band, the grade school
chorus and the scouts took part. Roundtown Conservancy wishes to thank
Ty Ankrom, Circleville School Superintendent; Mayor Ron Wunsch,
Carmelita Boyer and Ula Jean Metzler, Bicentennial chairpersons, as well
as Louis McFarland and his crew, Jack Pontious, Nelson Embrey, Mike
Pratt. Local organizations who helped were Fitzpatrick's Printery,
Wittich's Candy Store, the Elks, and Michael E. Clark and Associates.
Thank you all for a splendid dedication ceremony, which several have
called "outstanding."

the "Caleb Atwater Day" celebration are here.
