26, 2003 Woodsfield teen dies in crash on Ohio 26
David James Lancaster, 15, of
Woodsfield, a freshman at Monroe Central High School, was killed after school
Thursday, two miles north of Woodsfield on Ohio 26, when he apparently lost
control of the car he was driving and struck a tree. Two passengers, a boy and
a girl, also minors, were injured in the one-car accident, but treated and
released, one at a Columbus hospital, the other at Barnesville Hospital. The accident was reported at 3:35 p.m. by a
nearby resident who heard the crash.
Lancaster did not have an Ohio
driver's license or even a temporary permit, Trooper Joe Weaver, of the St.
Clairesville post of the Ohio Highway Patrol, investigating officer, said
Friday. Also, Lancaster was not wearing a seat belt, likely the reason he was
partially ejected from the 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser he was driving. "The thing is, we don't think he would
have been killed, or even seriously injured, if he had been wearing a seat
belt," Weaver said. The officer
said head injuries as a result of the crash are likely the cause of death.
One of the boy's passengers
remembers wearing a seat belt; the other had no recollection, the officer said.
Their injuries were minor, although one was taken to Columbus by Life Flight
before being treated and released.
Weaver said at this time excessive speed is suspected as the cause of
Lancaster losing control. "It looks
like he lost control of the vehicle, overcorrected, rolled and went off the
right side of the road, finally struck a tree, and the car ended up on its
top," the officer said.
Friends will be received at Watters
Funeral Home, Woodsfield, from 5 to 9 p.m. Sunday, with services at 1 p.m.
Monday. Pastor Bob McQuellen is officiating. Burial will follow in Oaklawn
Cemetery.
Lancaster, the son of John Jones, of
Stow, and Sharon Montgomery Jones, of Woodsfield, was born in Steubenville
Sept. 1, 1987. Surviving, in addition to his parents, are three sisters, Ashley
Lancaster, of Woodsfield; Tiffany Jones and Kimberly Jones, both of Stow; a
brother, Jesse Jones, of Stow; maternal grandparents, David and Sandra

Kentucky and Sharon Reed of Colliers, W.Va.; eight grandchildren, Eric and Phil
Hissom of Florida, Yvonne Donlon of Charleston, Jeff LaChance of Delaware, Brad

He was preceded in death by
his wife, Julia; parents, Earl and Tressa Hissom; brother, Charles and George;
and sisters, Mary Graham, Elizabeth Cash, Betty Atkins and Carol Ross. Rev.
Earl Jr. was a minister, evangelist and religious leader in West Virginia. He
was converted and called to preach at age 17 in a tent meeting being conducted
by his father, Earl G. Hissom Sr., located at the corner of Madison and
Randolph Streets, the current location of Sav-A-Lot and Agsten Manor. Before
joining the Church of the Nazarene in 1945, the Rev. Hissom sold Bibles, held
tent meetings, conducted revivals and preached whenever and wherever he could.
He then pastored at Uneeda and Seth. When the Seth church was organized into a
Nazarene Church by District Superintendent Dr. Oney, he lost his pastorate. Dr.
Oney said, "That's okay, son. Don't be upset. The Church of the Nazarene
has lots of places for you to preach." And they kept him busy the next 25
years, pasturing in Seth, New Martinsville, Glasgow, Weirton, Southeast Nazarene
and Capitol View Nazarene in Charleston. He also served as an evangelist.
During the years that he pastored for the Church of the Nazarene, the Rev.
Hissom was able to report gains in all departments with all budgets paid. At
every pastorate, he made notable capital improvements to church properties. He
served on various boards and committees of the West Virginia District of the
Church of the Nazarene. The Rev. Hissom was instrumental in planting several
Holiness churches, including Burnsville, Ohio, Paris, Pa., Handley, Hooverson
Heights, Colliers Way, Capitol View (now known as South Hills Church of the
Nazarene) and the Church of Emmanuel in Charleston, and Gap Mills. The Rev.
Hissom served as a mentor and encourager for many young, aspiring ministers,
such as John Hancock, Harold Runyon, Carl Gray, James Withrow, Paul Nester,
Tony Costello and many others. During a recent telephone call, Mrs. John
Hancock expressed their deep appreciation for the tremendous amount of time the
Rev. Hissom spent with them in their early Christian lives. After his
retirement from the Nazarene Church, the Rev. Hissom operated a Bible selling
business, pastored the Hissom Holiness Tabernacle and the Church of Emmanuel,
Charleston, and Harry Peyton Tabernacle, Hinton. He continued to hold revivals
across the state of West Virginia, preach whenever and wherever he was called
and frequently conducted radio broadcasts. He also worked as a fundraiser
throughout the state for fire and police departments, emergency services and
health clinics through RMJ Studios. The Rev. Hissom was a renowned Bible
scholar. His favorite pastime was studying the Bible, preparing sermons and
discussing the scriptures. His hobbies were walking, hunting and watching old
westerns on TV.

Buchholzer (obit 1 of 3 – see obits 2 & 3 below)

Akron [Ohio] Beacon Journal, Editorial; Thurs., Feb. 09, 2006
Richard
B. Buchholzer Akron builder's generous spirit leaves an indelible mark. Few people have left their mark so indelibly
on the Akron landscape as Dick Buchholzer. From Chapel Hill Mall to Rolling
Acres, his vision for the future took shape. Still, the impact of his life can
be felt far beyond what people can see.
Simply,
Richard Barton Buchholzer, who died Monday at age 89, loved Akron. Trips out of
town, whether for pleasure or to lure business to Ohio, merely served to stoke
his passion for this city.
He was
born into business, the son of J.J. and Kathleen Buchholzer, grocery store
owners in Newton Falls. The family later bought and resuscitated the Hower
Department Store in East Akron, where Mr. Buchholzer learned the retail
business from the inside out. He foresaw the need for quality nursing home
care, rebuilding the closed department store into Middlebury Manor Nursing
Home. He promoted inner-city development with the then-innovative Schoolhouse
Antiques in historic Grace School.
He had a gift for real estate, and he and his father began to acquire
land in burgeoning postwar Akron. Mr. Buchholzer had a knack for knowing where
people would be moving, where they would be traveling, where they would be
spending their money. Chapel Hill is testament to that vision.
But Mr.
Buchholzer didn't measure his accomplishments in acreage or profit and loss.
His greatest love was for the people of this city, his quiet generosity
touching hundreds of lives.
He
devoted more than 35 years to the Beacon Journal Charity Fund, which his father
helped to create and which helps needy children with eyeglasses and dental
work. He gave himself to many local causes, among them the Boy Scouts, Stan
Hywet Hall and Gardens and what has evolved into the Greater Akron Chamber.
Characteristically, his pockets were always full of tokens for the carousel at
Chapel Hill because he wanted kids to have fun.
Mr.
Buchholzer never sought the spotlight, but built so his beloved city would
prosper. It has.

Journal, Business Section;Wed., Feb. 08, 2006 Developer Buchholzer dead at 90. Mall
pioneer changed landscape of Akron By Mary Ethridge, Beacon Journal business
writer
Richard Barton
Buchholzer, whose pioneering retail
developments permanently shaped the Akron landscape and economy, died Monday
night. He was 90.
Born on Feb. 19, 1915,**
in Alliance to a retailing family, Mr. Buchholzer was a primary developer and
50 percent owner of Chapel Hill Mall in Akron.
He was also a force
behind the construction of Rolling Acres Mall in southwest Akron near the Barberton
border. He owned a 25 percent interest in that mall for years, eventually
selling his share to partner Forest City Enterprises of
Cleveland.
Mr. Buchholzer and
Forest City had at least three other commercial ventures together, including
the Chapel Hill Apartments and Middlebury Manor nursing home near downtown
Akron. One of his more recent business projects involved the construction and
operation of storage units.
``Dick invested in Akron
and had confidence in the city's future at a time when few people did,'' said
Akron Mayor Donald L. Plusquellic. ``The best tribute to him is the number of
families who were able to be supported through his investments in the city.''
Mr. Buchholzer's first
job was weighing produce at his father's grocery store in Newton Falls in
Trumbull County. He was so young that his parents wrapped a butcher's apron
around him and stood him on a box because he couldn't reach the scale, he
recalled a few years ago.
When Mr. Buchholzer's
family moved to Akron's North Hill, he worked at one of his father's meat
markets as a delivery boy.
In 1932, his father,
J.J. Buchholzer, bought the Hower Co. department store in East Akron out of
receivership, and young Dick went to work as a salesman.
He began college at Mount Union in
Alliance, but soon transferred to the University of Akron so he could spend
more time in the family business. Mr. Buchholzer never lost his passion for
retail. He went to his office at Chapel Hill Mall nearly every day until he and
Forest City sold the mall and nearby stores in 2004 for $78.1 million. He was
89 at the time.
``What a ball of fire he
was. What a visionary,'' said Cuyahoga Falls Mayor Don Robart, who was a friend
of Mr. Buchholzer's. ``He was one of the dearest people I've ever known.''
Mr. Buchholzer
contributed to the campaigns of Mayor Robart and several other area Republican
candidates. Mr. Buchholzer's second wife, Francis Seiberling Buchholzer, has
been a longtime figure in the Summit County GOP. He was divorced from his first
wife, Merian, in 1975. They had one child, Richard B. Buchholzer Jr., who died
in 1999.
When Mr. Buchholzerwas a
young man, he used to take a .22-caliber rifle and head up to the 187 acres of
undeveloped land his father owned on an Akron hill at the intersection of Howe
and Brittain roads.
Once, he came upon the
remains of what had been an Indian council circle.
Years later, when he was
building one of the country's first enclosed shopping malls on that land, he
remembered the ring. It occurred to him that the tribal circle was probably the
closest thing those native Americans had to a chapel. He named his development
Chapel Hill.
Shopping malls
The 75-store Chapel
Hill, which opened in 1967, was to be the first enclosed shopping mall in the
region, but delays gave Edward DeBartolo's Summit Mall in Fairlawn that title.
The mall, burdened by
construction debt, went through some difficult times during the 1970s when massive
layoffs in the tire industry shook Akron to its core. But the business
rebounded nicely in the late 1980s, and in recent years has had nearly 100
percent occupancy rate, the best in the region.
Mr. Buchholzer was also
instrumental in the building of Rolling Acres. In a partnership with Forest
City, Mr. Buchholzer conceived a two-story showplace on another of Akron's
grassy hills. He eventually sold his Rolling Acres share to Forest City but
kept his eye on the mall, which has since changed hands three times.
Mr. Buchholzer liked to
relax by playing golf at Portage Country Club, where he was a member. He worked
on his game with a passion, said Rod Johnston, longtime golf pro at Portage.
``He loved his golf. Even when his swing was deteriorating as he got older,
he'd be out working on it,'' Johnston said. Mr. Buchholzer attended the club's
annual golf trip to Palm Springs, Calif., several years. One year, Mr.
Buchholzer had a heart attack there. During the following year's trip, Mr. Buchholzer
rented out a restaurant to entertain and thank all of the medical professionals
who contributed to his recovery. ``That's just the way he was,'' Johnston said.
``Always thinking about others.'' Family friend and attorney Robert Malone
agreed. ``He never talked about himself,'' he said. ``He was a great
gentleman.''
Mr. Buchholzer was
active in Akron community affairs. He was a longtime president of the Beacon
Journal Charity Fund and helped form the Akron Progress Board, now the Akron
Chamber of Commerce.
Mr. Buchholzer's
survivors include his wife, Francis, brother Bruce and sister Eleanor. Funeral
arrangements are pending.

Richard B. (Dick)
Buchholzer, a man of vision, an entrepreneur, a businessman and community leader,
whose career over a period of 60 years had a significant impact on Akron and
the surrounding area, passed away on Feb. 6, 2006, at the age of 89.
He was born Feb. 19,
1916, in Alliance, Ohio, the son of Julius Johannes (JJ) Buchholzer and Kathleen
Shaw Buchholzer. The family moved to Akron in 1923. Dick graduated from
Cuyahoga Falls High School, attended Mt. Union College, and studied law at the
University of Akron. He served in the Ohio National Guard for three years.
At an early age, Dick
started working for his father (JJ), who owned Hower Department Store in East
Akron. Over the years he and his father forged a dynamic team of retailing,
business, and real estate development. In the late 1940s they began acquiring
land for development in strategic parts of the Akron area. After the loss of
his father, Dick, with his partners, Forest City Enterprises, developed and
opened Chapel Hill Mall in 1964, which Dick managed. The mall became known as
``The Friendliest Mall of All." Rolling Acres Mall was opened in 1975.
Other commercial and residential properties were also developed.
With the closing of
Hower Department Store, Dick had the foresight to turn the building into
Middlebury Manor Nursing Home. He became a licensed nursing home administrator
and managed the facility in its first years. Ever seeking new challenges, Dick
bought the former Grace Elementary School, which he converted into an antique
mall--School House Antiques.
In his later years, he
became very interested in the storage business and planned, built, and managed
two successful self- storage facilities.
Ever the advocate of
Akron and the State of Ohio, Dick was a "Rhodes Raider" and an Ohio
Commodore, joining with the governor and other Ohio businessmen on a number of
foreign missions, traveling to Asia and Europe promoting Akron and the State of
Ohio, which resulted in several companies locating in the Akron area.
Over the years Dick
contributed greatly to the Akron area, receiving many accolades and awards for
his community leadership.
He was supportive and
active in a number of local organizations such as the Akron Regional
Development Board, the Beacon Journal Charity Fund, Akron Community Foundation,
Stan Hywet Hall, Leadership Akron, Blue Coats, Great Trail Council Boy Scouts,
Salvation Army, and United Way, to name a few. He was a Layman Advisor to the
National Unity Churches. Dick was a member of Fairlawn and Portage country
clubs.
Dick was known to always
carry a camera and take candid pictures of dignataries and friends who later
loved receiving personalized photographs of these moments in time. He was also
known to be an avid golfer.
He is survived by his
devoted wife, Frances, and stepdaughter, Elizabeth Sturtevant. He leaves his
beloved sister, Eleanor Buchholzer Erickson; his brother, Bruce; and
sister-in-law, Edna Buchholzer. Also surviving him are nieces, Karen Buchholzer
Stevens and Julie Buchholzer, and nephew, Mark W. Erickson. He was preceded in
death by his son, Richard (Rick) B. Buchholzer, and brother, Wendell.
A
memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 15, at St. Paul's
Episcopal Church, 1361 W. Market St., with Rev. Sandra Selby officiating.

My Aunt Jan
By her niece Betty Kitchen
May 3, 2006
Although today we gather to “officially” say goodbye to Jan Latta, my Aunt
Jan, I am sure that all of us here will agree that she will always be with
us. She was such a vital part of our
growing up. Although biologically she
may have had no children, she certainly mothered my cousins David, Don and me,
and the generations to follow. We were
always welcome at her house. Bring our
friends? She’d say, “Sure, will be glad
to see them.” So we did. And she was
truly glad to have us all there.
Although she never married, she has always been the uniting force in
this family. It was Aunt Jan who cared
for her aging grandparents. It was Aunt
Jan who cared for her own mother. And it
was Aunt Jan who spoiled David, Don and me.
We (the whole Latta family) were at their house almost every weekend
that her father was home from Chicago. I think this was about twice a month
during my childhood. She cooked a wonderful meal, and there was much
laughter. I know she especially spoiled
me. I was a picky eater. Dad used to make me gag down a big spoonful
of Black Strap Molasses to supposedly make me eat. It was used with cattle, but I’m not sure it
was meant for human consumption. I liked
Aunt Jan’s approach better. She knew
that I loved chicken and noodles so she ALWAYS made me chicken and
noodles. The rest of the family having
beef stroganoff? Yep, but I got chicken
and noodles anyway.
At family gatherings most of the adults would go in the other room and
talk. For kids, this is of course, very,
very boring. So Aunt Jan and Grandma
would spoil us. They’d play cards with
us kids or some other games at the big dining room table. We all enjoyed it so. I got to stay for a whole week during the
summers. We had Monopoly games that
lasted the whole time. She would let me
change the rules a little. I didn’t have
to get all the properties of a certain color to buy houses. We did some gardening, tried to catch the
“Grinnies” which most people know as chipmunks and explored the wonderful
closets upstairs. They were wonderful
weeks.
Here are some stories that she shared with me that I think you will
enjoy too.
Her father’s parents
and many aunts and uncles still lived in Monroe County when she was a kid. The
train ride then from Canton to Monroe County was 5 or 6 hours Usually her dad
only took the three older boys, but she remembered one time when the whole
family went down. When they got there, it had been raining cats and dogs. It was so muddy. Her dad carried either her or Vernon and
Uncle Tom carried the other, and her mother (Effie) carried her skirts. Aunt Jan was about 10 the last time she went
to visit her Grandma Latta (Mary Jane) in Monroe County. Grandma told her she had the most beautiful
hands she had ever seen. Aunt Jan figured her Grandmother had seen a lot of
hands in her day; and since Jan had just done her nails, she kept on doing them
the rest of her life. Mary Jane died in
1927. And when I was little, Aunt Jan
continued the tradition and did my nails too.
As a child Aunt Jan
also always had to wear a bonnet outside and was not allowed to go
barefoot. (That bonnet must have paid
off because she always had very smooth skin.
No wrinkles even when she was older.) The bonnets always had strings to
tie under her chin so she could run with the boys without it blowing off. Here is one–hope you can see her running
across the grass with it perched on her head.
When Aunt Jan was
little she loved playing with paper dolls.
Her mother would get fashion magazines but the pages did not show
clothes in color so she saved the tissue paper and colored linings from envelopes
to make doll clothes with color. She
never did like drab things--bright and bold for Aunt Jan. Red was her favorite. She played a lot with her little cousin
Marie. In later life Marie told Jan that
she enjoyed reading so well because of all the many, many times Jan read to her
when she was little.
I noticed on Aunt
Jan’s old report cards that she missed a lot of school (36 days some years),
and of course asked why. She said she
had very bad earaches as a kid. They
would drain, and she could not walk in the cold to school.
Both Aunt Jan and my
dad Vernon spent a lot of time, especially in the summers, at their Grandmother
and Grandfather Schaub's down the road from here in East Sparta. (Dad would have been here today but is
working through his own health issues.)
Aunt Jan always had to dress up for the train ride there to see her
Grandparents. She left play clothes at
the Schaubs since she was there so often.
Once Aunt Jan lost her hair ribbon at Grandma Schaub's, and Grandma
almost didn't let her go home, but she had school the next day. It just wasn't proper to go on the train
without your hair ribbons. (Grandma had
found the errant ribbon by the next time Jan arrived.) Most weekends some of the Latta kids and
Schaub cousins were there. She told me
about playing monopoly with Aunt Maggie, Junior and everyone during the depression.
There were no
electric lines from East Sparta until about l928, and Aunt Jan remembered how she used to like cleaning the oil
lamps. Grandma Schaub had a cow named
Janey, so her mother Effie really did not like Janedith to be called
"Janey." Although Aunt Jan
has never been as crazy about cats as Krystal, Valerie, or me, she did like
Grandma Schaub's orange cat, Emily. She
also remembered the horse named Jimbo that bit her brother Don who was teasing
him. She was there when the armistice of
World War I was announced on the radio.
She remembered how Elton and the older boys were celebrating by beating
on the old wash tubs and creating a real noise.
Everyone was so happy that Uncle Wes was coming home.
Jan used to play
dominoes and euchre with Grandpa Schaub while Grandma Schaub crocheted. When they were older, she remembers driving
out to their farm at 11:30 p.m. or midnight, after she had dropped off her Dad
to catch the train to Chicago, to stay
with them. She learned to drive at a
very young age and chauffered her family a lot.
She went to Trump
Road School then to an all girls high school - Mount Marie which later became
Central Catholic High School. Of course
she had to wear uniforms in those days, and much of her class work was centered
around the arts, Latin, Spanish, the classics.
She loved the opera. I brought
one of her oils so you can all see how talented she was.
When Aunt Jan was a sophomore her friend
Angeline had a Cadillac and provided much of Jan's transportation and good
times. Alas, the Cadillac graduated, and Jan's best friend became Hilda
Schneider. It was a friendship that
continued throughout her life. When she
was at Altercare, she often told me how thankful she was that they could talk
often on the phone and still see one another now and then.
She was also thankful
that she was so close to David and Maxine when she came to Altercare and she
enjoyed their Sunday visits. It was a
blessing when Krystal got a job there and could stop in on her working
days. Knowing that Vicky was always
there for her too was a great comfort.
She got back so much of the love that she had given away all those
years.
Yes, it always has been
Aunt Jan who has brought this family together.
We have all learned so much from her about giving, about loving, about
coping. She will always be such a role
model for us. She went through so many
difficult times. She did not
complain. She did what had to be done,
then went on. I do think she was ready
to go on now too.
Our five-year-old granddaughter Madison has been
saying the prayer at the evening meal.
For the past year, it has always been the same. “Thank you God for this food. Help Aunt Janie to feel better.” I think that Madi’s prayer has come
through. I’m sure that now she is
feeling better. Her body of late was
such a burden to her free spirit. I have
hopes that she is rejoicing in reuniting with the family she loved so well, and
we will see her again someday. And I
know she’ll be glad to see us, like always.
She’ll probably open with what so many of us have heard before, “Well,
what do you know that I don’t know?”
