Pemberville Mental Culture Club
PEMBERVILLE - Twenty club members met May 14 at the Pemberville Library. Retiring president Penny Truman presided over the evening business meeting.
The club's $500 scholarship will be awarded at the Eastwood Academic Banquet later in May.
Marilyn Bowlus gave a broad survey of the migration and cultural evolution of the Indians in the Western Hemisphere. Mike McMasters, education coordinator at the Wood County Historical Museum, described the Indians who lived in Northwest Ohio from 10,000 BC to 1835 AD. They were here for so many thousands of years it is no surprise that one can find evidence of them in every sand hill and along water ways in the Great Black Swamp. They came into the Swamp to follow the animals that they hunted. The most frequent artifacts they left behind were stone tools and points, also known as arrow heads.
