OPPONENT TESTIMONY CONTINUES TO BE
CONSIDERED IN ANDERSON TOWNSHIP MINE HEARINGS
Village officials continue to attend Anderson Township Board of Zoning Appeals (ATBZA) hearings regarding
a request for a conditional use permit and related variances required to allow Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. to
operate a deep limestone mine in the vicinity of Round Bottom Road and Broadwell Road in Anderson Township.
These hearings, which have been continuing since August 2008, are now expected to continue until sometime in
April.
The most recent meeting was held on February 18, 2009 at 5:30 p.m. Attorneys representing the various
opponents to the mine proposal put two experts on the stand during this meeting. They included an explosives
expert and an expert on noise impacts. Opponent expert testimony will continue at the Board’s March 5, 2009
meeting with a presentation by an expert in a broad range of environmental impact areas and an expert the field
of land use planning and zoning. Additional testimony by an expert on property valuation and testimony by the
Mayor of Terrace Park is expected to be heard on March 18th. The first opportunity for opponent testimony from
interested citizens is now expected to be scheduled for April 2, 2009. Any concerned residents are encouraged
to attend this meeting which will be held at 5:30 p.m. at the Anderson Center located at 7850 Five Mile Road.
Continuing meeting dates have not yet been set for the rest of April, but the ATBZA staff has indicated that an
additional meeting may be set for either April 22nd or 23rd at 5:30 p.m.
Village officials and our legal counsel will continue to attend the hearings and express our concerns about
noise, truck traffic, light pollution, and dust pollution. We will also continue to advise residents about the status
of the case and any related Village actions in direct mailings to south Indian Hill neighborhoods, future Bulletin
articles, and on the Village webpage: www.ihill.org.
Any questions about the current status of the case may be directed to the City Manager’s office, 561-6500.
BILLPAYER MAKES PAYING YOUR BILLS EASY!
Paying bills has never been easier! Simply sign up for BillPayer and your bills will be paid on the due date by an
electronic transfer of funds. Many of you already have your house payment or insurance payments automatically deducted
from your bank account on a specific date each month. Billpayer works in a similar manner by allowing The Village of
Indian Hill’s bank to deal directly with your bank to automatically pay your Water bill, Alarm bill or Public Works bill for
extra pick-ups ON THE DUE DATE. Here’s how it works.
First, you must call BillPayer (513-534-7744) to sign up. The BillPayer representative will send you enrollment
information requesting your bank information and account number. When this information is returned to BillPayer, your
bank will receive a copy.
When you are invoiced for any services from the Village of Indian Hill, you will receive an invoice just like you do now.
On the bottom of your invoice, there will be a note saying that “No payment is necessary” and indicating that this invoice is
just for your records. If your bill looks correct, all you have to do is deduct the amount from your check book and file the
paperwork. BillPayer will transfer the funds from your bank account to Indian Hill’s bank account on the due date. If there
is a problem with your bill, you will need to call the water works office to try to correct the problem prior to the due date. If
this is not possible, you can call BillPayer and advise them to hold payment until you authorize them to release it.
The banks know how much money to transfer because we electronically send them the accounts who signed up for
BillPayer, the due date and the amount due. They use this information to set up the transfer of funds ON THE DUE
DATE.
There is a $.30 fee for each payment made on your behalf; less than the cost of a postage stamp.
It couldn’t be much easier. If your life is as busy as most of us these days, this may just be the break you need. No more
writing checks to pay your bills. No more late payments or penalties. Payment on time every time! You may be surprised
how easy it is.
MARCH 6, 2009- INDIAN HILL BULLETIN - PAGE 4
Crime Prevention 101…
It seems like every day, when I turn on the radio, watch television, or log onto my local news source, one story
I am almost certain to see or hear, is about a home being burglarized. These are burglaries that are not taking
place at night, but during the day, and some criminals are brazen enough to try them when people are home.
Unfortunately, the FBI has seen a rise in the numbers of burglaries across the country.
In Indian Hill, while we avoid many of the larger crimes, we are not immune. So far this year, there have been
several burglaries and attempted burglaries in many of the communities surrounding Indian Hill. For 2009, we
have seen one reported burglary. During 2008, we had seven reported burglaries. The burglary this year, according
to the report, was an unoccupied home, where entry may have been made through an unsecure door and the
security system was not in operation.
Having personally never been a victim of a burglary, in 10 years, I have seen many lives turned upside down,
because of the violation that the victim feels. The uncertainty as to what will happen next. What information does
the criminal have that they can use to hurt me more? Am I going to become a victim of identity theft? How do I
prevent this from happening again? What would have happened if I or my children had been home or walked in
while the burglar was in the house? The biggest problem to overcome is the thought that some stranger entered
their home and went through their personal belongings.
Protecting yourself and you family from becoming a victim of a burglary, starts with you. If you do
not lock the doors and windows, if you do not set the alarm, then who will? A burglar is looking for an easy
opportunity. During the daytime, one way a burglar may try to find out if someone is home, is to knock on the
door and if answered, they may say they are lost, looking for someone, or soliciting work. While they may have
the intent to perform a burglary, they may not because you are home. If no one answers the door, they take it to
the next level and begin to look at their surroundings for an escape and to ensure that they cannot be easily seen.
They will begin to look for unsecure doors and windows and if desperate enough, break out a window or kick in
the door.
Given this situation, if you have done your job, all of the doors and windows should be locked. This means that
they will have to physically break in. Now if the alarm is set and working properly, once they violate the perimeter
of the house, the alarm will sound and hopefully the burglar will leave. As a homeowner, I would rather replace
a window or door, than have my house ransacked, and personal items taken. As a Crime Prevention Officer, I
cannot express enough, the need to use a home security system and to make sure all windows and doors are locked
at all times. And not just for the long trips, but for the short trips to the store, out to eat, or to pick up the kids at
school.
Some other ideas to help avoid getting the attention of a possible burglar:
1) Do not have dry cleaning or packages left at the front door. This screams no one is home.
2) Put lights on timers all day, while at home or out of town. Put a radio on one too, to create noise
in the home.
3) Have mail and paper delivery stopped or have someone pick them up on a daily basis, while
out of town. Papers left at end of driveway can draw unwanted attention.
4) Be aware of your surroundings when you leave or come home. If something does not feel or
look right, it probably is not. If you have doubts, call the police.
If there are any questions about this article or any Crime Prevention topic, please feel free to
contact me at 561-7000 or www.crimeprevention@ihill.org.

Resident Packets
If you are a new resident, a resident who has never completed a resident packet or a resident whose information
may have changed, please stop by the Ranger Station to pick one up. This information is valuable to the Police
and Fire Department for alarms or for emergency contact information. Be sure that there is a current key on file
as well. For questions, please call the Rangers, 561-7000.
New Police Department Website
Be sure to check the Village website, www.ihill.org, soon, for a new website being
put out by the Police Department. The website will be able to be accessed under
“Departments”, then “Police”. The website will be updated regularly with new
information. We hope to make it fit the needs of what residents are looking for as far
as giving and receiving information. For a while, it will be under construction as it is
developed. We hope that you will share any ideas with us. If you have a
suggestion, please forward them to crimeprevention@ihill.org.

DOGS ON LEASH
The management at Grand Valley Preserve is requesting cooperation from all visitors of the Preserve. It is
mandatory that all dogs be kept on a leash during the bird-nesting season. The Preserve not only has numerous
species of waterfowl nesting, but also has woodcocks, Killdeers, and the rare Cricket Frogs
that nest on the shoreline. Visitors will be given one warning. On the second violation, they
will be requested to leave the Preserve. The leash restriction will be in effect from March
15 through June 30. A major part of the mission statement at Grand Valley is to protect the
wildlife and the environment by maintaining low impact activities at the Preserve. While all other nature
preserves require dogs to be leashed at all times, the staff at Grand Valley understands the desire to allow dogs
to run free, but remember dogs must be under control. Please help the wildlife and honor this regulation.

Helen Black inducted into the
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources Hall of Fame
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources recently awarded
Helen Black its greatest honor for her contributions to the
protection and enjoyment of the state’s natural resources.
ODNR Director Sean D. Logan inducted longtime Indian Hill
resident Helen Black into the Ohio Natural Resources Hall of Fame
in recognition of her efforts to generate interest in the outdoors
and promote resource conservation. The Ohio Natural Resources
Hall of Fame recognizes a lifetime devoted to the preservation,
protection, and wise management of Ohio’s natural resources.
“Helen Black has spent years fostering relationships that
have led to extensive protections of green space in Ohio,” said
Director Logan. “Her efforts have helped thousands of young
people receive hands-on lessons in conservation, making her an
exemplary selection for the Hall of Fame.”
A true environmental steward, Mrs. Black has displayed her
dedication to conservation and the protection of the environment
through the establishment of several organizations. In the early
1950’s, as a member of the Indian Hill Garden Club, she played a
major role in forming the Indian Hill Beautification Committee,
which sponsored many tree planting projects throughout the Village. A decade later, in 1961, Mrs. Black was a
founding member of the Forest Preserve Council, which is now known as the Indian Hill Green Area Advisory
Committee. She is still an active member of the group. Through her efforts, over 25 percent of the Village is
preserved as green space. Mrs. Black was also instrumental in creating the Cincinnati Nature Center, which
provides educational programs on ecology to approximately 12,000 school children annually.
Helen Black is a founding member of the Greenacres Foundation, which, as part of its mission, encourages
conservation and nature appreciation by providing the public with opportunities to study plant and animal life
in their natural settings. The foundation serves 8,000 children each year. She continues to volunteer for the
organization by serving as a naturalist and by monitoring stream-water quality.
Mrs. Black was a key individual in establishing the partnership between The Nature Conservancy and the
Cincinnati Museum Center at the edge of Appalachia Preserve System in Adams County. The preserve has grown
from 42 acres to 14,000 acres
Furthermore, Mrs. Black continues to educate fifth graders, which she has done for over 30 years allowing her
to share her passion and knowledge of botany and geology. The Village of Indian Hill has been a model for the
protection of green space and natural resources, and Helen Black has played a major role in this achievement.

ROWE ARBORETUM NEWS
Spring is right around the corner and with it comes one of the best seasons, and a number of great reasons, to visit this
little gem in the Village of Indian Hill. Come and let the warmth of the sun invigorate you, see the many migrating birds
stopping by, enjoy the peace and quiet of this preserve, and oh yes, there are the plants. Many of them will be in bloom
too!
HOW TO GET HERE: For those not acquainted with the arboretum, it is located at 4600 Muchmore Road in the
southwest corner of the Village. It can be a little hard to find but well worth the effort. Our driveway entrance on Muchmore
can be a little of a surprise to a newcomer, so please adhere to the speed limit and pay attention to any accompanying
traffic.
Once on the driveway to the arboretum, please bear to the right and drive slowly on the narrow lane up the hill. The
woods along the way is also a Green Areas’ protected area so take your time and enjoy the scenery. See what our native
woods is supposed to look like with the invasive Asian honeysuckle removed.
At the top of the hill you will come to the entry to the arboretum. Just follow the signs and you will gain access into the
main portion of the collections. There is an automatic gate which will open, as long as you stay to the right of the drive.
The gate sensor works for bicycles as well. Follow the drive to our parking lot. Feel free to pick up a brochure or borrow a
self-guided tour map located in the rack next to the bulletin board on the corner of the Arboretum Center.
As you leave, please pay attention to the drive marker and signage so the automatic gate will reopen for you. Thank
you.
ARE YOU A MEMBER? For those who are a little more familiar with the arboretum know about our voluntary
membership program. Annual dues collected assist in the care of the collections. Renewals for 2009 have been mailed
recently. If you are a visitor of the arboretum and not a member, please feel free to request information by calling 561-5151
and we’d be happy to send you a packet.
CURRENT HAPPENINGS We are in the process of cleaning up quite a bit of damage due to the recent snow and ice
storms. Please pardon “Our chainsaw dust” while we take care of what turned out to be one of the more devastating natural
disasters experienced at the arboretum in quite a few years.
Our Spring Plant Sale is scheduled for Saturday April 25 from 9 AM to Noon. Please mark your calendar now and plan
to come and pick from a selection of some of the more unusual plants around! Member’s Day will be held on Friday April
24 and you will be notified of the hours for this event in the ‘Members Update’ newsletter.

JERRY HENSLEY AND HIS CREW OF SIX
MAKE UP THE PARKS AND RECREATION
DIVISION OF THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
Springtime brings color
back into the landscape and
beckons the winter weary outdoors. No matter how we travel through the village, be it by vehicle, on foot or bicycle, we’ll be greeted by
many of our Green Areas bursting with daffodil blossoms. Those who use the horse trails year round will continue to find them clear and
well drained. A freshly mowed Green Areas field will reward passerbies with the smell of newly cut grass.
The implementation of these and all other Green Area projects falls to the leadership of Jerry Hensley and his crew of six who comprise
the Parks & Recreation division of our exemplary Public Works. Green Areas maintenance is but one area of their responsibility and
their cooperation with the Green Areas Advisory Committee is deeply appreciated. Here’s a brief look at three of the tasks they regularly
perform.
The daffodil bulb planting program has been ongoing for ten years with a balance of selecting new sites and enhancing existing ones.
This past fall Parks & Recreation planted 3000 bulbs at the following new locations: the northeast corner of Camargo and Drake, the
Spooky Hollow and Loveland-Madeira intersection, Whitacre Park, Walton Creek near Varner and the cul-de-sac at Whispering Hill.
Non riders may be surprised to learn that the Village has approximately 150 miles of bridle trails. While they require continuous
monitoring, last fall’s wind storm severely impeded use on all trails. As soon as vital village road and other services were restored, Parks
& Recreation worked diligently for weeks to remove the massive amount of storm debris.
Several of the Green Area fields are scheduled for occasional mowing. The ones with which you may be most familiar are between
Camargo Road and Livingston Lodge, Clippinger Field at Shawnee Ridge where the Hunter Trials are held each fall, Grob field on Given
Road by Cincinnati Country Day School and three fields at the bottom of Kugler Mill Road.
In the planning stage is a village tree planting program which will exclusively involve Green Areas property. This will add one more
dimension to the fine work of Parks & Recreation. Jerry Hensley loves the variety of his responsibilities. Village residents are clearly the
beneficiaries of his leadership and the dedicated work of his department.

BULLETIN INSERTS
Bulletin inserts are only for village-associated organizations
such as churches, scouts, schools, clubs, committees,
Historical Society, and Greenacres. They are not for personal

all the flyers and insert them by hand, they must be printed
on 20 lb. paper. Please send no more than one insert per
publication. Also, consider putting in an ad instead of an
insert. We can do a page or ½-page ad. The deadline for
getting a flyer in the Bulletin is the same as the deadline for
articles. We need to receive 2,200 copies of the insert. The
cost for putting an insert in the Bulletin is $90.00 For more
information, call Joyce Holder at the Village office at 5616500 or email jholder@ihill.org

CCDS Inducts 13 Students into Cum Laude Society
The Cincinnati Country Day School chapter of the Cum Laude Society inducted 13 new members during its annual assembly on
February 17th. The Cum Laude Society was founded at the Tome School in Maryland in 1906 with the purpose of encouraging and
recognizing true scholarship among secondary school students. The Cum Laude schools represent academic institutions of the highest
caliber in the United States -- in fact, they represent the top one-tenth of 1 percent of all secondary schools in the US. Among the more
than 27,000 secondary schools in the US, just over 300 have been awarded membership during the past 102 years. Approximately
4000 students are inducted nationwide each year.
At CCDS, students are inducted into the Society on the basis of their grade point averages during the previous year and the first
semester of the current year. Ten percent of the members of each graduating class are inducted as juniors, and an additional ten percent
are inducted as seniors. They are honored at an Upper School assembly in February, and then again at a dinner in March, where they
receive their Cum Laude pins.
This year’s inductees are:

Dorothy Koch Family Foundation Continues Legacy of Supporting Excellence in
Education for Students of the Indian Hill School District
The Dorothy Koch Family Foundation recently supported the purchase of calculators for the Indian Hill High School math
department. Indian Hill School District parent Lisa Koch Greene facilitated the donation to the Indian Hill Public Schools Foundation.
It was a perfect fit. The School Foundation supports exemplary education opportunities and the Koch Family Foundation honors
Dorothy Kautz Koch and her lifelong commitment to education. In fact, Mrs. Koch was a member of the Indian Hill Schools
faculty for over twenty years.
Dorothy Kautz Koch dedicated her life to providing a quality education for her four children (all of whom attended Indian
Hill Schools), the students who were fortunate enough to have her as a teacher, and the current and future students of the Indian
Hill District. The School District, as well as the Indian Hill Public Schools Foundation, continues to be grateful for her support
of excellence in education. Mr. Charles Koch, Jr. commented “Mrs. Koch, a long time Indian Hill resident, recognized that the
quality of education available in Indian Hill is one of the factors that make this community one of the most attractive places to raise
a family in the United States.”
The Indian Hill High School mathematics department requested TI-Nspire Graphing Calculator kits. The TI-Nspire technology
allows learners to put math into writing. Students can use the calculators to solve word problems and explain problem-solving
approaches. This will help develop effective written communication skills of the students. Nancy Striebich, Principal, commented:
“Indian Hill High School prides itself on being one of the leaders in school technology. Thanks to benefactors like the Koch
Foundation, our teachers and students are working with advanced technological devices that are helping to advance their
mathematical and problem solving skills. We are very appreciative of the generosity of the Koch family.”

Michelle Selnick, President and CEO of webFEAT, Inc. has a passion for helping charities within the Tri-State area , and she has
found a way to do that by donating website design and development.
“Non-profit organizations depend on the public’s ability to access web based information in
order to support their clients, obtain donations, and publicize their events and programs. It is
critical, in this year of a down-turned economy, that we support the non-profits in any possible
way,” says Selnick. “We have donated many non-profit sites since 1998, and it is more important
this year to assist non-profit organizations that have realized substantial decreases in donations
and increases in needs.”
Selnick attended an awards banquet many years ago that celebrated the successes of ten
Cincinnati businesswomen. She was overwhelmed by the philanthropic work and community
contributions of these successful individuals. Selnick left the luncheon and instantly went to work
on a plan to enable webFEAT to become a contributor in its own small way. The “small way” has
now launched over fifteen donated websites.
To be considered for the 2009 donation process, non-profit administrators can obtain an
application at www.webfeat.net/nonprofitapp The application deadline is March 15th. An independent review board will select four
local non-profit organizations for the donations award for 2009.
webFEAT will accept requests from non-profit organizations only and will not grant donations to for-profit organizations or
businesses. As part of the on-line request form, you will be asked to provide a non-profit tax ID number. Eligible organizations must
be non-profit and designated as tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.webFEAT will give priority to local
organizations. Requests will be considered from Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana non-profit organizations in four general categories:
• Community or public service • Health and education • Arts and humanities • Youth and senior citizens

(April 18, 2009) The Visiting Nurse
Association of Greater Cincinnati
and Northern Kentucky (VNA) will
celebrate their 100-year anniversary
while honoring one of Cincinnati’s most
caring families, the Portmans. Join the
VNA on Saturday, April 18, at the Hyatt
Regency Hotel for the Caring Award
Ceremony.
“We could not be more thrilled and
excited to have the opportunity to honor
Bill, Wym, Rob (former Congressman
and former board member of the VNA)
and Ginna on such a special evening for
the organization” says Warren Falberg,
President & CEO of the VNA. In 1998,
Joan Portman, wife and mother, was
honored posthumously by the VNA with
the very first Caring Award, given for her
long-time commitment to home health
and the VNA. Doug Bolton, Publisher of the Business Courier, will emcee the event. The evening’s festivities will begin with cocktails
at 6:30 p.m. and dinner at 7:30 p.m. Music will be provided by the Pete Wagner Band. Ticket prices are $175-$300. For tickets, call
513-345-8061 or visit www.thevna.org.
The event is co-chaired by Marlene Johnson and Shelby Wood, with Barbara Hahn and Joannie Lotts serving as co-chairs for the
host/hostess committee. The VNA of Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky is a non-profit organization committed to providing
home health care to all who need their services, whether rich or poor.
Junk From Your Trunk Sale
The Indian Hill Church has renamed the Ole’ English Car Boot Sale - Junk From Your Trunk Sale! Since the English don’t
have many garages, their garage sales occur in cars, gathered in an open lot, with trunks, stuffed with items their homes no longer
need. Likewise, on Saturday, May 30, from 9 A.M. -2 P.M., The Indian Hill Church parking lot, 6000 Drake Road, will
replicate this sea of cars. Each person who has reserved one of the 80 available car spaces will be selling their life’s treasures to
interested shoppers who are looking for a deal. The donation needed to reserve a space for your car is $25; this must be arranged
by May 15 on a first come, first served basis until all spots are filled. Of course, there will be a Tea Tent and other concessions

Major grant funds 4C efforts to develop early childhood leaders
Goal: to address a serious unmet need in our region
A $150,000 grant from a family foundation will fund a key initiative of 4C’s current five-year plan. The funded
project, “Developing Early Childhood Leaders,” will address what Janet Keller, 4C director of professional
development, calls “a serious unmet need in our region—the need for directors, board members and owners of
early childhood programs and centers to develop the skills needed to become stronger leaders.”
“4C is very successful in its effort to address professional development needs of center staff,” Janet points
out. “But the overall quality of an early childhood program depends on more than an individual teacher,” she
emphasizes. “It depends on leadership at the top—a leader who can set a vision, establish benchmarks for quality
and support staff in reaching them while also responding to the daily management demands and challenges of an
early childhood setting.”
As researcher Paula Jorde-Bloom from National Lewis University has pointed out, the director of an early
childhood program has responsibilities that equate to those of an elementary school principal—but without any
of the formal education or training. 4C hopes to fill this gap—and create a model that could lead to a state-level
credential for directors.
The “Developing Early Childhood Leaders” project will include a three-pronged approach to develop the
kind of early childhood leaders needed to achieve and sustain the high-quality programs that 4C is dedicated to
ensuring for our community’s children. Through this project 4C will:
• design and implement an annual year-long leadership seminar for current directors/owners. • design and implement a short-course and survival kit for new directors and directors in crisis.
• foster ongoing leadership development based on learnings from the year-long leadership seminar and the
short-term survival course.
Initial planning meetings are now underway. A timeline has been established, a project director is in place and
an advisory committee and project team has been identified.
The next step is to survey center directors and then use the information to develop an initial outline for the yearlong leadership seminar. The proposed outline will then be taken to focus groups for testing and refinement.
Top priority: scholarship funding
In coming months, 4C will be approaching foundations to create a scholarship fund that can help cover tuition
costs for the leadership seminar once grant funds are expended.
“We intend this to be an ongoing effort,” says development director, Karen Hurley. “We know many directors
will need financial assistance to participate. “Plus,” she adds, “we made a pledge to our funder to make raising
scholarship dollars a top priority.”
Suggestions of foundations or family funds that might be interested in supporting scholarships for early
childhood leaders can be directed to Karen Hurley at 513-758-1201.
4C, the region’s leading child care coordinating agency, was founded in 1972 to ensure the quality, effectiveness
and availability of early childhood education and care. It currently serves a 23-county area in Southwest Ohio, the
Miami Valley and Northern Kentucky. A not-for-profit
agency, 4C is funded in part by United Way, the City
of Cincinnati, the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, and the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family
Services, Division of Child Care.
For more information or to schedule an interview, contact Amy Gorga, 4C Communications Coordinator, at
513-758-1310 or agorga@4CforChildren.org.

Buckingham Lodge
1861
Indian Hill Roads Commemorate Early Pioneers
Many Village roads are named for the settlers who first lived there. Here is a sampling.
In 1789 Levi Buckingham came to the Ohio Country from the East Coast. Soon after his brother Enoch and sister
Hannah followed. Together they purchased 1140 acres - part of the original Miami Purchase – from Benjamin Stites in
1795. Shortly afterwards, Levi and two other pioneers were hunting near the Little Miami River when three Indians attacked
them, “yelling and screaming like demons”. Buckingham and one man survived, but the third hunter was killed. Both Levi
and Enoch were Baptist deacons of a fervent nature. Enoch’s firstborn, Levi (named for his brother) was the first settler
child to be born in Symmes Township. Altogether he had 7 sons and 2 daughters. Levi produced 3 sons and 3 daughters.
The Little Red Schoolhouse property was sold to the local school board in 1873 by Josephine and Ambrose Buckingham.
Fifteen grandsons survived Enoch and Levi, and many of the clan remained in Indian Hill through the 1900s.
William Cunningham lived on the north side of the road, and his brother Albert James on the south. Both were natives
of Pennsylvania and moved to Ohio in 1802. Not much is known about William. Albert prepared for college at an academy
in Milford, and graduated from Antioch. After teaching school for 8 years, he became an attorney. He practiced with Lewis
French for 10 years, after which he practiced alone. He was a Knight Templar, a Mason, and a member of the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows. His progeny was 6 daughters and 2 sons. He was elected to the Ohio Legislature in 1869 and served
as Speaker of the House. His 1869 vote broke the tie in the General Assembly on the Fifteenth Amendment, assuring that in
Ohio, citizens would not be denied the vote based on “race, color, or previous condition of servitude”. This paved the way
for the ratification of the amendment, giving former slaves the vote.
The son of William and Lydia Graves, Thomas Graves was born in Portsmouth, Ohio in 1806. His father died when he
was 6 years old. He was sent to Whitewater Township in western Hamilton County and raised by his uncle. He attended
a subscription school there, where parents/sponsors of students were obliged to pledge payments to the teacher. Thomas
worked at the Kanawha Virginia Salt Company (near Charleston WV) which went bankrupt. After several years trading
goods up and down the Ohio River, he purchased 96 acres on Indian Hill in 1840. He was a successful farmer, and a member
of the Indian Hill Horticultural and Agricultural Society. According to Society minutes, he served on the Floral Committee,
and exhibited bouquets as well as specimens of apples, cherries, and potatoes at different meetings. Thomas and his wife,
Mary, had four children: William, Ebenezer, John, and Lydia.

THE INDIAN HILL HISTORICAL SOCIETY
BUSKEN PROGRAM
“A Sweet Success”
On February 8, the Little Red
Schoolhouse was teeming with
enthusiastic
Historical
Society
Members and guests. They were treated
to the very informative and entertaining
program highlighting the history of the
Busken family.
Linda Busken Jergens began the
program with the story of her mother,
Daisie Page, who was born in 1906 in
Indian Territory – the rough and tumble
area of the southwest that in 1907 was
to become the state of Oklahoma.
Daisie met and fell in love
with young Joe Busken, the son of
Cincinnati native, Clem Busken who
had been transferred to Oklahoma
City to deliver yeast to bakeries for
the Fleischmann Yeast Company.
Tiring of the delivery business, Clem
decided to learn from his bakery
clients and open a bakery of his own.
Thus, in Oklahoma in 1919, the first
Busken Bakery was established
Daisie and Joe were married in
1926 and decided to move to Cincinnati,
where Joe first worked in a cigar
factory, but soon decided to follow his
father’s footsteps and open a bakery.
Daisie and Joe built their house on
Old Indian Hill Road in 1940. Here
they raised four children, Joe, Jr.,
Jerusha, Linda, and Page. Daisie and
Joe traveled the world and offered
their home to a number of international
visitors and students. Daisie lived a full
life and died in 1997 at the age of 91.
Joe Jr. next spoke about his father,
Joe Busken. Joe Sr.’s bakery enterprise
met with great success and allowed
him to grow from a small workroom
behind a grocery shop in East Hyde
Park in 1928 to larger shops in Pleasant
Ridge, Norwood and finally to the
current location of the Busken Bakery
on Madison Road. Joe, Jr. explained
that his father, an astute business man,
was
equally
comfortable
putting
on his
whites and
working the
early hours
in the hot,
flour dusted
bakery.
Joe Jr. was educated to become a
mechanical engineer, but again, like
his father and grandfather, gravitated to
the bakery business. He worked along
side his dad and eventually became the
President of Busken Bakery. In 1970,
he welcomed his younger brother,
Page, into the business.
When Page Busken spoke, he was
proud to thank his brother Joe, Jr. for
being such an inspiring role model and
mentor and to compliment Joe on his
many accomplishments. He said that
one of Joe’s important innovations was
the introduction of foil pans for baking
and another was the concept of freezing
product prior to baking. On a personal
note, Page congratulated his brother on
the wonderful charity work he has done
establishing and supporting a bakery at
an orphanage in Haiti.
Page took over the reins from Joe
in 1992 and looked to innovative ways
to match the products of the bakery
with the desires of the public. While
all of the wonderful pastries, breads,
donuts, and cakes were still produced,
the emphasis now was going to be on
COOKIES!
The
trademark
“Happy Face”
Busken cookie
is now as much
a part of our
Cincinnati
tradition as Skyline Chili,Montgomery
Inn Ribs, and Graeter’s Ice Cream.
Page attributes the continued success
of the Busken Bakery, its creative new
ad campaign and the introduction of
a new non-bakery product, YAGOOT
(the Yagoot Yogurt Shop is located in
Rookwood Commons), to two of his
sons, Dan and Brian Busken, who are
now the 4th generation of Buskens to
lead the company.
Cocktails and a gourmet dinner
followed the Busken Program. Dessert,
of course, was the delicious Busken
cookies!
