Excerpt from History of the Ohio Society of New York, 1885-1905 The story told in these pages is, and purports to be, nothing more nor less than that called for in the resolution under which the work was author ized - a plain chronological history of the Ohio Society of New York. The minute books of the Society and of the governing committee have furnished the main body of information. These have been supplemented by the re ports of officers and committees, by the official programmes prepared upon special, social or other occasions, the year books, scrap-books, kept by the superintendent of the Society rooms, by newspaper files, and, in a few in stances, the personal recollections of early members.
