Description
This
photograph
shows
two
women
in a
pony
cart
at the
intersection
of
Main
and
Third
streets
in
Delphos
. On the
right
edge
of the
image
is
Gemke
Brothers
and
Bush
Corner
Hardware
. The
three-story
building
at
left
is
the
Commercial
Bank
. The
photograph
measures
3.7
by
5.4
inches
(9.35
by
13.65
cm)
. The
city
of
Delphos
was
chartered
on
February
7
,
1851
.
It
was
settled
by
German
immigrants
led
by
Father
Otto
Bredeick
,
who
before
emigrating
was
rector
of the
cathedral
at
Osnabruck
.
Bredeick
sent
his
brother
Ferdinand
to
select
a
location
for his
Catholic
congregation's
new
home
in
America
.
Upon
hearing
that a
canal
would be
built
in the
area
,
Ferdinand
bought
land
that would
become
Delphos
. Its
location
on the
Miami
and
Erie
Canal
encouraged
growth
of
manufacturing
and
boatbuilding
and the
establishment
of
hotels
and
inns
. A
cholera
epidemic
and the
rise
of
railroads
slowed
the
city's
growth
in the
late
nineteenth
century
, but the
discovery
of
oil
in the
late
decades
of the
century
brought
renewed
prosperity
.
