Story 1: Information in 2002 from Eliza Brown, daughter of Miles Eveland. George H. Eveland (father of Miles and Harry) bought Terrace Park Lumber Co. in 1914. Miles took over the lumber yard in 1915 and ran it until he retired in 1947. After returning from World War I, Harry went into the business with Miles. The lumber yard carried coal, building supplies, etc. The elephants were also brought to their winter quarters from this area going down Park and into the Robinson property. At that time, there were no homes on Cornell and Wrenwood except for the Robinson property and [only] one or two houses on Wooster Pike. This railroad siding made it much more convenient to unload coal and lumber supplies nearer to the storage areas. Later on (late 1950's or early 1960's???) the lumber yard carried oil as people turned to that instead of coal for heat. Sometime in the 1930's a siding for railroad cars was installed where Denison Lane is now located.
Story 2: See Village Views article November 1985 concerning Lumber Company history. The Terrace Park Lumber Company was started in 1914 by George H. Eveland on land he purchased from G. W. Corey who around 1890 had laid it out as a sub-division. Lumber and coal came by Pennsylvania Railroad. The sale of fuel oil was introduced in the 1950s. Lumber and coal sales ceased with the end of railway service to Terrace Park in the 1970s. Other details in the article.
Story 3: Harry Harmon Eveland was born 11 July 1889 and died 20 March 1985, aged 95 years, Craver-Hookom Funeral Home. Miles F. Eveland was born 2 April 1918 and died 6 July 1984 aged 66 years. They are both buried in Evergreen Cemetery, Miami Township OH.
Story 4: In the early days the section of Elm north of the railroad was called Liberty Street and south of the railroad was Newtown Road because it went to Newtown across the Little Miami River.
Story 5: See Village Views article October 1985 on new subdivision proposal. Detailed plans submitted by Rick Koehler for development of Eveland lumber yard property (12 houses on cul-de-sac with underground utilities). Path to Wrenwood/Kent to be kept.
