Struthers Revisited

By: Patricia Ringos Beach in association with the Struthers Historical Society

What more is there to say about Struthers that was not said in Images of America: Struthers, published in 2008? It turns out there is plenty. Images of America: Struthers Revisited features the people and places that filled this northeastern Ohio town in the 1900s. Through the growth and decline of the steel industry, the town prospered and adapted. Children grew up, marriages occurred, and people died; however, as anyone affiliated with Struthers knows, they could not be buried in the "city without a cemetery." This collection of images illustrates stories of accomplishment, struggle, and everyday life. Photographs of schools, churches, small grocery stores, businesses, eateries, parks, and playgrounds will transport readers to a time that is both familiar and historical. This walk down memory lane is for all ages. It is for those who reside in Struthers and those who used to live there and love to visit.

Struthers

By: Patricia Ringos Beach,Struthers Historical Society

Struthers is the story of a small town in northeastern Ohio. The town began with the stumbling start of John Struthers as he chased a band of marauding Native Americans through the valley. He later came to settle in what would eventually be Yellow Creek Park. He lost a son and most of his fortune after the War of 1812. Later another son, Thomas, would return as a wealthy entrepreneur to reclaim the family land in his fathers memory and help develop the town. The steel industry played a large role in shaping Struthers, as have Yellow Creek Park and Lake Hamilton by offering its hardworking residents places of beauty to relax and enjoy. The historic images in this book capture moments in everyday life in Struthers, from its incorporation to present day. This book is for longtime residents, newcomers, and passersby alike so they may treasure and remember Strutherss history for years to come.
