Book Description
Excerpt from Ohio Centennial Anniversary Celebration: At Chillicothe, May 20-21, 1903; Under the Auspices of the Ohio State Archaelogical and Historical Society; Complete Proceedings The Ohio State Archaeological and Historical Society very successfully celebrated on their respective dates, the centennial anniversaries of the settlement of Marietta and that of Gallipolis. For several years past it had been the aim and desire of the Society to properly observe the one-hundredth anniversary of Ohio's organization as a state, which memorable event occurred on March 1, 1803. The subject was one of consideration and discussion at various previous meetings of the trustees, but was not formally acted upon until the annual meeting of the Society held June 6, 1902. The chief problem naturally was one of expense. During the session of the Seventy-fifth General Assembly in the winter of 1902, Hon. David M. Massie, a life member of the Society, suggested the propriety of requesting the legislature to recognize the proposed anniversary by some fitting resolution. After due consultation on the part of the secretary of the Society with the governor and leading members of the House, the following resolution was prepared by Mr. Massie and introduced by Hon. James C. Foster, of Ross County. It unanimously passed the House and also the Senate, where it was presented by Hon. Thomas M. Watts, senator from Highland County.
