Stories:
Story 1: Several Christopher families lived in the Miami/Oxford area of Terrace Park. This Christopher family rented out their house from the late 1930s until 1957 when the Campbells bought it.Story 2: J. W. Sibleys Sub-division of Lots 3 & 4 Camden City (same for all 300, 400, 500 Miami).
Story 3: Article on Richard S. Griffith in T. P. Historical Society file.
Story 4: Mrs. George Jaap - president TP Garden Club 1936-38 (see below)
Story 5: From a message from Ray Worseck I conclude that Robert Carl & Gladys Vogt were probably the renters here in 1942. The 1940 Census shows the Jaap family still living here as they did in 1939 (according to the map) so the Vogts must not have moved here until after that census was taken. Ray says, Mr. Vogt was my father's boss in the Army Engineer Corps in Cincinnati. My mother's diary records a visit to these Vogts in Terrace Park in late 1940. My sister visited Terrace Park in the late 1980s. When she told my mother where she was going, our mother said Oh, that's where Carl Vogt lived. Using the 1944 City Directory, the Cincinnati Public Library confirmed that the Vogts lived in Terrace Park. By 1954 the Vogts had moved to Milford and Mr. Vogt was working for a private engineering firm. We do not know if these Vogts are related to Robert and Dorothy Vogt who later lived on Princeton.
