They called him the Dean of Ohio Druggist. E. R. Lash brought his drug store on South Court Street in 1873. He was still in business at the same location more than fifty years later. Lash Drug Store was known as a place for teenagers and old men to linger. As he retired, he was Ohio’s oldest druggist. In his spare time, E. R. managed the Athens Post Office from 1913-1921. He was also a trustee of Athens State Hospital. At some point he published local interest postcards, which he sold at his store.

In the foreground of this picture are the earthmovers that will soon transform the interchange at Route 33 and Ohio Rt. 682 (The Plains Road) into a modern ‘roundabout’. Roundabouts, sometimes called ‘traffic circles’ are the big thing in Europe. So now the U.S. is jumping on the continental bandwagon. And so we should in some cases. I understand that the traffic moves quite well after a big game at Peden Stadium because of two roundabouts in Athens.

Last week, we found out about the Lone Ranger phenomenon at its very beginning. Those early days featured the cowboy hero on the radio. The show was wildly successful with kids and adults. We will continue, this week, with the adventures that took place during the radio days on and off the set. kAm%96 DF446DD @7 E96 C25:@ D9@H 5:5?’E 4@>6 62DJ] %96C6 H2D 2 =@E @7 92C5 H@C< :?

“Hi-Yo-Silver, Away” That was the call from the ‘masked rider of the plains’ at the beginning of every radio and television show of the Lone Ranger. Since 1933, this familiar shout summoned kids, from all over the U.S. and Canada, to put on their cowboy hats, draw their toy pistols, and get ready for a new adventure with their cowboy hero. The Lone Ranger and his Indian companion, Tonto, fought for justice during the wild, early days of the American West.

We’ve already learned about some Ohio cowboys that made it big in Western movies in previous articles. Now we will focus on an Ohio girl who became a tremendous sensation by way of her sharpshooting skills during the late 19th century. Annie Oakley took the country and Europe by a storm, not because of her acting ability, but because of her amazing skill with a rifle. kAmp??:6 H2D 3@C? !9@636 p?? |@D6D :? `ge_[ :? sC2<6 r@F?EJ[ ~9:@] tG6CJ@?6 42==65 96C p??:6] %96 72>:=J H2D A@@C[ 3FE H96?
