Relay For Life

I had a nice conversation the other day with Dublin Relay For Life organizer Stephanie Reed and she mentioned that the American Cancer Society needs more donations than ever, because more people than ever before are asking for help. Lots of cancer sufferers are losing their jobs and health insurance because of the economy, and they're turning to the American Cancer Society for help. We tried to do our part at the Dublin Villager to help out by writing stories in the three weeks leading up to Relay, and we covered the event last Saturday. I'm sure Stephanie and the other folks at Relay would appreciate any help you can give.

    Dublin history lesson

    Peter and Benjamin Sells came to the area around 1801 from Huntington County, Pa., to buy land. Old Dublin was first platted in 1810 by their brother, John. Surveyor John Shields named the town after his birthplace in Ireland. The town developed the usual assortment of mills, shops and churches, with settlers coexisting peacefully with Wyandot Indians, who camped on Indian Run. The town gained notoriety in the mid-19th century, when a surplus of taverns and rowdy Civil War veterans gave the village a tough reputation. Columbus' growth and the construction of I-270 made expansion inevitable. Dublin achieved city status in 1987.
