Eli R. Beachy author of the "Medina County Home---Those Early Years 1855 - 1935"


The year was 1855 and Franklin Pierce was President of the United States. In Medina County, Ohio, it was time to do something about the poor by opening the County Infirmary.”
Chippewa Lake author Eli R. Beachy ably sets the mood for the information he is about to impart to his readers. “The Medina County Home — Those Early Years 1855-1935,” What follows, then, is a detailed accounting of the history of the Medina establishment that opened in January of 1855 and “… remains an active, viable and vital element of the county in 2007.”
The author, who respects the facility and its operation, is donating all the profits to the Friends of the Medina County Home. The book can be purchased through the County Home office and the cost is $20. For more information, call Lynn Remington at 330-723-9951.
