Maple Grove Cemetery Chapel and Pond by Portage County Historical Society

Postmark 1909 Maple Grove Cemetery was established in 1813. It replaced a small graveyard at the southeast corner of Oak (Riddle) Avenue and Meridian Street, which had been laid out by Benjamin Tappan five years before. The earliest part of Maple Grove is in the southern portion of the present acreage, and was initially called Evergreen Cemetery. Ravenna Township acquired ownership of the cemetery in 1821. In 1880, the name was changed to Maple Grove, following a suggestion by the Republican-Democrat newspaper. Also in 1880, the Ladies' Cemetery Association was founded for the purpose of taking care of the landscaping and maintenance of the cemetery. The stone receiving vault was built in 1879, and the gothic-style chapel in 1903. The artificial ponds, originally swampy areas, were dredged and filled in 1885, and connected to the city water supply in 1887, with the water being supplied by Crystal Lake. For many years, the ponds were used for fishing and ice skating, and picnics were often held at the cemetery. The cemetery is currently jointly owned and maintained by the city and the township. The receiving vault (no longer used) and chapel are reportedly in bad repair, and unfortuately there is currently no group advocating for their upkeep.

Tappan Lake Park

84000 Mallarnee Rd.

Deersville, OH 44693

Tappan Lake, also known as Tappan Reservoir, is a reservoir located between Cadiz and Dennison in Harrison County, Ohio. The lake covers 2,350 acres of water and 5,000 acres of surrounding land, as part of the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District. Normal pool elevation is 899.3 ft. above sea level. The lake has a 399 horsepower limit for boats. There are two public launch ramps - one near the roadside rest area on U.S. 250, and the other across from Tappan Marina. A third launch ramp is located inside Tappan Lake Park. U.S. Route 250 follows Tappan Lake for several miles on a series of causeways built during the construction of the lake in the 1930s. Tappan Lake took its name from the former community of Tappan, which was inundated with the completion of the lake in 1938. The former town of Laceyville also lies beneath the lake.

Visitors can spend time in nature’s playground at Tappan Lake. Outdoor recreation enthusiasts can speed things up for skiing, tubing, or wake-boarding or slow things down and enjoy fishing on the lake. Boats are available to rent from the marina. The marina also offers dock rentals to keep boats ready at a moment’s notice, all summer long. Across the lake, Tappan Park has more than 500 campsites and 11 vacation cabins, swimming beach, concession stand, an activity center, and nature center with special events planned throughout the summer including Fourth of July Fireworks. There are hiking trails, one of which connects the park with the Tappan Wetlands, a “watchable wildlife” area and a connection to Ohio's Buckeye Trail.

The Hunter Lake Campgound in Parksville, New York is where Diane Schuler, her husband Daniel, their son(5), daughter(2), and three nieces(8,7,and 5) spent a fun weekend in late July 2009.

Early Sunday morning everyone had breakfast and then began packing up the camp site to head back home. Diane took the five children in her red 2003 Ford Windstar minivan while her husband drove separately.

Once Diane left it's not made clear the exact events that took place or the route she took home. CCTV captures her stopping at McDonald's and a SunCo gas station. Witnesses report seeing Diane pulled off to the side of the road outside the car looking to be vomiting.

Around 11:30am Diane called her brother and the father of her 3 nieces Warren Hance stating they were delayed in traffic. At 1pm Hance was called again this time by his daugher. She said Diane was having issues seeing and speaking. Hance spoke to Diane and told her to stay off the road and he would soon come find them. For the next 40 minutes Hance tried calling Diane but never received an answer.

Diane's cell phone was later found miles back near the Tappan Zee Bridge tollbooth.

Two drivers made a call to 911 after observing Diane's van entering an exit ramp to the Taconic Parkway with visible "Do Not Enter" and "One Way" signs. Around the same time four more 911 calls were received with witnesses stating a minivan was traveling the wrong way on the highway at high speeds.

At 1:35pm July 26, 2009 the red minivan collided head on with a Chevrolet Trailblazer that then hit another vehicle.

Diane Schuler, her daughter, and two nieces along with the three occupants of the Trailblazer were pronounced dead at the scene.

Diane's son and one niece were rushed to hospital where the niece later died. Diane's son is the only survivor of the crash.

According to multiple toxicology reports, Diane had a blood alcohol content of 0.19% (the legal limit to drive a vehicle is 0.08%) and traces of THC in her system.

The family has theorized that an ongoing toothache could have been the cause of immense pain for Diane leading her to use the alcohol and marijuana as pain relief.

However, despite the theory Diane's family continue to deny that she was a heavy drinker or used marijuana regularly.

(a documentary about this called There's Something Wrong With Aunt Diane can be watched on HBO)

On February 21st, 2020, a group of fishermen called authorities in Harrison County, Ohio after they spotted the body of a woman floating face down in the Tappan Lake Dam. The deceased woman was later identified as 37 year-old Lorie Storie of Zanesville, Ohio. Lorie was not listed as a missing person at the time, however her family members told authorities that they had been trying to get in contact with her for about a week before her body was found.

An autopsy determined that Lorie's death was a homicide. She had been brutally beaten to death. It is believed that Lorie was murdered at a separate location, and that her body was disposed of in the dam after-the-fact. Investigators are working to locate a more specific crime scene. Additionally, investigators are actively searching for Lorie's killer. No suspects or persons of interest have been identified at this time.

If you have any information that could help solve Lorie's murder, please contact the Harrison County Sheriff’s office at 740-942-2197. [x]

#FBF - News from Yesteryear: Excerpt from the Journal News, August 8, 1970 – #50YEARS AGO: Thomas LoMedico of Tappan points to his creation of the medal to be presented by the State of Texas to the Apollo 11 astronauts who landed on the moon, and a detailed view of the medal.  Photos by Al Witt

📸Photos: Al Witt

LOCAL SCULPTOR COMES UP WITH TEXAS-STYLE MEDAL

Texas is a state which has a reputation for never doing things half-way.

It was characteristic, therefore, that the commission appointed by Gov. Preston Smith and the Texas legislature to determine how the state could best honor those adopted Texans -- the Apollo 11 astronauts -- should decide not to award them the medal of honor the state usually bestows but a special medal of valor which may never be issued again.

The medal has been designed by Thomas LoMedico of Tappan, a sculptor, whose reputation as a medalist is international.

The commission had hoped the ceremony honoring Neil A. Armstrong, Col. Edwin E. Aldrin Jr. and Lt. Michael Collins could have been held July 20, the first anniversary of their landing on the moon. But not all of them could be present that day. A new date will be set shortly for the ceremony in Austin, the state capital. LoMedico and his wife have been invited to attend.

The medal has been cast in gold. The reverse shows the entire compass of man's first visit to the moon, the deployment of the American flag by Armstrong and Aldrin, the rippled footprints their boots left on the moon's surface, the lunar landing module and, on the horizon, the earth. The medal bears the inscription "I’ve Come in Peace" and the date, July 20, 1969.

The commission had specified that the design for the medal should embody "the historical and incalculable significance of the flight of Apollo 11 and the bravery and daring of the men who brought the mission to its successful conclusion."

The Texas state seal is incorporated in the design of the obverse of the medal. It shows the single star which gives Texas its nickname, "The Lone Star State." To the left of the star is the branch of a live oak, a tree frequently found in Texas. To the star's right is an olive branch, the symbol of peace. Inscribed on the obverse are the words, "The State of Texas Medal of Honor Apollo 11 Astronauts."

LoMedico said the National Aeronautics and Space Administration had helped him with the research for designing the medal and had been "gracious enough" to send him photographs taken on the moon.

Among the objects which Armstrong and Aldrin left on the moon were medals struck in commemoration of Gagarin and Kamarov the Russian cosmonauts.

Future men on the muon, however, will be unable to leave the Texas medal of valor honoring the Apollo 11 astronauts. When the commission was formed, it was instructed that as soon as the model had been struck and accepted, it was to make sure the die was placed in the archives of the state with other historical mementoes, never to be used again.

Martin Dies Jr., Texas secretary of state, who is in charge of the presentation, was unable to say just how the commission came to select LoMedico to design the medal. LoMedico himself merely explained that "one project brings another."

For LoMedico, who is celebrating his 50th anniversary as a sculptor this year, there have been many projects. Among recent ones have been a medal honoring Jean-Baptiste Point DuSable, the Negro who was the first permanent resident of Chicago, and a medal honoring Capt. James Cook, British explorer, and mapmaker.

The first was commissioned by the American Negro Commemorative Society and the second by the Britannia Commemorative Society.

DuSable was an adventurer and trader who, while living with the Indians and trapping fur, traveled along trails which led to the present sites of Chicago and Detroit and parts of Canada.

Finally, in 1779, he decided to build a fur-trading post on the Chicago River near Lake Michigan. The single cabin built by DuSable developed into a growing trading center which became the city of Chicago.

LoMedico included DuSable's cabin and the present-day Chicago skyline in his design for the obverse of the medal.

LoMedico noted the design for any medal takes extensive research. Research for the DuSable medal was done at the Schomburg Library in Harlem.

The Capt. Cook was commissioned to commemorate the 200th anniversary of his exploration of the South Pacific. The reverse shows the explorer's head and a quadrant.

LoMedico explained the quadrant was significant of Cook's skill as a mapmaker.

The sculptor grew up in the Upper Bronx when it was a community much like Tappan, he, said. In the summer, he and the boys from his neighborhood used to go swimming in Pelham Bay Creek. There was a clay bank along the creek. LoMedico said he used to scoop up clay and fashion models of animals, "much like a child makes a snowman."

"I was the pride, of my friends," he recalled.

When he was 16, LoMedico was apprenticed to a sculptor. He served as an apprentice for four years. Evenings he attended the Beaux Arts Institute of Design.

LoMedico opened his own studio in 1935. His first works were life-size sculpture panels for the interior of the courthouse in Wilmington, N.C. Like so much other art then, they were ordered through the WPA's Section for the Fine Arts.

The sculptor recalled that many now-famous artists and actors found work through the Section for the Fine Arts. They used to meet in the same cafeteria when they went for their pay checks. Among the actors whom LoMedico knew then were Orson Welles, Joseph Cotton and Zero Mostel.

LoMedico is particularly known for his architectural sculpture and for his portrait plaques, as well as his medallions and medal's. Among his major works have been six statues of the saints, which he was commissioned to design for the exterior of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C.

His first medal was one, honoring Herbert Adams, a sculptor and scholar, which he did in 1945, and for which he won a first award.

He has won many major competitions since, both in medal design and for sculpture. The latest was the gold medal of honor for a bust of his wife, Leonora, in a competition held by the, Allied Artists of America.
