It's what made me get it for my Mom - Grace

My Mother - Grace Shively Ehresman will be 102 on July 3rd. She has always lived in Portage County so is enjoying looking through the book. We both live in Ravenna for many years now. Thank you for making this available with all the info and pictures in it.

Process for order and delivery were great. My sister-in-law had provided many family photos for the publication.

Portage County Memories

I am thoroughly enjoying seeing and reading about our history, thanks to this handsome book. Photos of the various Main Streets, as they were over a century ago, are fascinating. I remember a few as a child and as the book title suggests, "Memories" long forgotten have returned, and I would recommend this book for anyone!

Portage County Memories

Loved looking at the very old pictures and remembering a lot of the buildings no longer there. Wish there were more pictures. Maybe a second book?

St. Joseph's Church Grotto Build

Some of my relatives think they see our Mother in the crowd at the dedication of the Grotto, but she would've been 8 months pregnant with my sister in that picture, and I don't think we can tell for sure if it's her. Though she would've been out working in the fields while carrying all 7 of us to term!
